more than 1000, ,090 FiHpinos perhaps
$4,000 have had opportunity To know
something of American character, and
they only know that they were moi
slaughtered when Manila surrendered.
But that Is quite enough TO make it
necessary for the United States TO ab-
| sofb the islands, according to the i'm
per1alis1s- II that is a good rule TO
work by. the United States should
make haste 10 get out Of Hawaii. The
United States was q party to the con-
spiracy which overthrew the legally
| constituted authority, and helped Dole
and his syndicate to establish a new
government against the wishes Of quite
81 per cent Of The natives. Moreover,
the United States annexed the islands
against the earnest protest Of an over
whelming majority of the population.
According 10 the imperialists, good
treatment Of The FIlipinos justifes the
annexation Of their country, and
wretchedly bad treatment of the Ha-
waiians justifes the annexation Of their
country. 1t Is q poor rule that does
not work well both ways. the inperi-
alists think.
The people OF Cuba, as the United
States knows very well, have been
struggling for more than q half cen
tnry TO establish republic. The
United States knows, too, that it went
TO war with Spain for the express pur-
pose Of helping the Cubans to establish
government Of their own, and that
II announced in advance 10 the world
that it had no thought, in fact. il
would not, under any circumstances,
assume sovereignty over the island
after the Spanish flag had been driven
out. But the imperialists insists that
il shall be annexed. That would be a
still more damnable procedure than
the Hawaiian affair. There we helped

and subsequently annexed them with
out firing q shot. To Cuba We sent an
army to help the natives establish a
government for themselves, but the
moment their liberty was secured our
inperialists commenced to demand
that the rights Of the Cnbans be ig-
nored. and their country be absorbed
By the United States. Thus We should
hold the Philippines because our army
and navy treated the natives in a hn-
mane manner. We should annex
Cuba. We have a chance TO betray the
confidence Of the natives. We have
already annexed Hawaii because we
were a party to the original theft, and
subsequently secured our partners in
terest in the island. These are some
Of the arguments and excuses Of the
inperiRlists for territorial expansion.

The latest reason evolved from the
minds of the inperialists why the Phil
ippines should be held is the amaze
ment of Filipinos when they found lhe
United States army and navy treated
them kindly after the surrender They
expected such treatment as Spain had
been IL the habit Of according them
and their hearts leaped with JOY when
they we're told to expect nothing Of the
kind from the Americans. The Flip
mos are an ignorant and generally 3
pretty savage people, and no doutd
they expected about the same kind Of
treatment from the Americans that
they had been receiving from the
Spaniards, and which they gave the
Spariards when they had an opportn-
nitv. But their leaders knew that of
all the civilized nations, only Spain
and Turkey were IN the habit of treat
ing human being as If they were fero-
cions animals, and that from Ameri-
cans shove all other nationalties they
could expect ample protection Of life
and property
The United States has always been
exceedingly careful Of the rights and
the feelings of the people Of every na-|
ton with which IL has come in contact,
whether In their OWE country or In
America, but that is no reason why we
should take them TO raise OF the

Russia Wants An Era Of Peace.

The proposition Of the emperor Of
Russia for q conference Of the nations
TO formulate plans for peace conditions
throughout the world comes Rs a sur
prise. but it is none the less welcome.
The plan includes a sweeping redue-
ton Of the armaments of the powers
and the long period OF peace and good
viii. There is no doubt that the czar
is sincere, however much few cynical
diplomats may cry Impossible Russia
has population Of quite if not fully
125. 900, 900. exclusive Of the recently
acquired Chinese territory Her war
establishment Is on an eXtraTagant
scale, which not only keeps en i'm
nense army of men from pursuing the
aVocations of peace, but puts the bur
den Of their support upon those at
home. The czar sees that all this is
wrong, and knowing that the powers
are similarly handicapped in efforts to
increase the general wealth Of their
countries, and expand their industries
and commerce, he invites them TO join
edy the evil of war runors and large
standing armies.
1t is 3 bold and an advanced step
for ration TO take, but either Russia.
Germany or Great Britain could take
it, and 1t is fair TO assume that Ger
many and England viii heartily sec
opd the cars proposition. These
three nations could combine and force
a reduction Of the armaments OF Europe
by cutting them In half, which would
lberate hundreds of thousands of
Young men for the activities Of 5nsi-I
ness life and reduce the annual cost
Of maintaining the governments by
hundreds Of millions Of dollars. Rus
sia is heavily engaged in building rail
ways and making other internal i'm
proEenents. which will open up vast
areas Of agricultural, mineral and tim
Der lands. and she sees that their de-
Telopnent is what the en- npire needs to
give It the desired civilization and
wealth. There Is, therefore, more or
less self-interesf at the bottom Of the
eZar's proposition, but that makes it
none the less desirable. The signs OF
the times are encouraging when such
nation as Russia says the time has
come for the nations To quit war and
cultivate the fields Of commerce, me-
chanics and agriculture
Naturally the United States is in
cluded IN the Invitation. OF course a

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston. March 26.-Startling devel-
opments involving a quartette OF people
came to light to-day i'm the Bill Gray
murder mystery. According to the story
told by John Keogh. an old man who de-
ponds for a living upon performing odd
Jobs for the denizens of the red igh dis
trict. the murder is laid at the door OF
Bert Nashold and his mistress, with Myr-
tie Dixon and Charles Brooks as accom-
plices.
Keogh says that the night Gray disap-
peared he was sent on an errand to the
place kept by Ola Nashold. She would
not allow him to enter and told him that
she had a man locked in a room and
could not leave. Later that night or next
morning he saw Bert Nashold and an
other man carry something to Orschels
ice house near by. Trips were made sew
eral times to the ice house in the night
until Feb. Is. when Nashold and Brooks
secured a cart and removed the body to
where it was found three days later, in a
hydrant box near the stock yards. Prior
to Gray's disappearance on Feb. l both
Nashold and Ola were friends, but short
ly afterwards Ola exhibited a roll, tell

1t has just come to be known that
Gray was seen at the Nashold house on
the night he probably disappeared. Henry
Warden saw him at the door, and while
he is not absolutely certain of the date,
he believes it was the night of Feb. l.

any knowledge of the murder or that he

This was untrue, for he had just finished
