The Country Voted for Annexation.

Before the election the most violent of
the a~nti-expansion journals insisted that
silver was not an issue in the election.
They hoped to prevent an Endorsement of
the Administration
After the election these same Journals de-
clare that it was a triumph for sound money
but not a triumph for expansion.
II the election of a Republican Senate and
a Republican House Of Representatives is
not an approval of the Administration
there is no meaning in elections. Sound
money was approved. So was expansion.
which is IA part, and at present the most
important part. Of the policy of the Admin.
istration.
In voting It's confidence in WILLIAM NC
KINLEY the country also voted for the an
nexation of the Philippines.

sister. q graduate Of Radcliffe, for a post In an
Armenian hospital. and was DESTROYS OF selling
certain pieces Of embroidery in order to obtain
money for the journey. We afterward learned

1t is to be hoped that Judge PRYoR's de-
cision In the Adueduct compromise case will
he taken to the Court OF Appeals for revision.
The decision may be right In itself. but tho
reasons which Judge PRYOR gives for II lead
to startling results. He says, that to Justify a
compromise. by the officers OF a city, of a claim
against IL. which may be altogether without
legal validity and incapable OF enforcement,
lit IL enough that the parties in good faith
advance opposing pretensions." This is giving
to municipal officers and to all others exercis-
ing similar powers . discretion which Is so
easily abused as to be highly dangerous.

Croker's System of Homo Rule.

"Home rule for cities" is to be one Of
the principal planks in the democratic
platform Of 1900, If Mr.. CRoKER's political
prediction made in Cook county, Illinois,
o Monday is to be believed.
"By home rule" he said, 81 mean that
large cities should be allowed to govern
themselves and be free from the control Of
country legislators" And then he pro-
ceeded to laud the merits Of what he called
N"my system of home rule"
What is meant by talk Of this sort Is
simply that the large cities Of the Union
should virtually be made politically indie
pendent Of the States in which they are
situated, or, in other words, should become
as nearly as possible independent States.
To this end politicians like RICHARD
CROKER lose no opportunity to arouse OPP
position, dislike and hatred on the part Of
the inhabitants Of this city toward the good
people who constitute the rural commu-
mites Of the State. The city w%orkingman
is constantly taught that his interests are
or the farmer "up the State" and is i'm
bued with the idea that whatever is wanted
in the way Of legislation by the country
people Is necessarily injurious to the people
who live in the great cities. In this way is
bred an unreasonable enmity between the
city and the State, which must be deeply
regretted by all who have the welfare Of the
commonwealth as a whole at heart.
1t is an exceedingly wicked thing to en-
deavor to intensity and foment such senti-
ments of hostility. The fundamental unit
Of our American system Of government is
the State. The good Of the State as a whole
should be the guide to the political manage
ment of every village, town, borough and
city within the State. Making and keeping
the interests Of the State, as a whole, para
mount in legislation, the highest degree Of
independence consistent with hat suprem-
acy should be given to the several munich
palities within the State borders. The OBJ
servance of these principles need result in
no such conflict or estrangement as RICH
ARD CROKER would promote. but would es-
tablish and maintain permanent harmony
between the city and the country
Beware of my system of home rule "

The G~odko-Spanish press of New York is
mistaken in supposing that nobody ever fore
saw that America must inevitably concern it
self with the Philippines. An observant Ger
man, Herr f.. JAGoR. travelled in the Philip
pines nearly thirty years ago. His book was
translated into English and published in Lon
don In 1875. Here are his conclusions respect
ing the future relations between the Philippines
and the United States:
THE proper field for the commerce OF the Philip.
pines is what is to US the far West: they were colo.
niLed thence. and for centuries they had no commu-
nication with Europe but an Indirect one. by the
annual voyage of the Ralleon between Manila and
Acapulco. Now. however. when the eastern shores
OF the Pacific are at last beginning to teen with life,
and with unexampled speed are pressing forward TO
grasp their stupendous future. the Philippines will
no longer be able to remain in their past aeciusion.
No tropical Asistio coluny Is so favorably situated
for communication with the west coast of America"
Herr JAaoR proceeded to q more distinct
prediction of Spanish decay and American OK
pansion:
sin proportion as the navigation of the weat coast
of America extends the influence of the American
element over the South Sea. the captivating, magic
power which the great republic exercises over the
Spanish colonies will no, fail TO make itself felt also
in the Philippines. The Americans are evidently
destined to bring to a full development the germs
originated by the SpaniArds. As conquerors of
modern times. they pursue their road TO victory with
the assistance of the pioneers axe and plough, rep.
resenting an age Of peace and commercial pros
perty in contrast to that bygoue aud chivalrous age
whose champions Iwere upheld by the cross and
protected by the sword"
And again:
"a considerable portion of Spanish America al.
ready belongs to the United states. and has since at
tanned an Importance which could not possibly have
been anticipated either under the Spanish Govern.
ment or during the anarchy which followed. With
regarl to permansnce. the Spanish system cannot
for a moment be compared with that of America.
While each OF the colonies. in order to favor a priv
ileged class by immediate gains, exhausted still
more the already enfeeLled population Of the me-
tropolis by the withdrawal OF the best of its ability.
America, on the contrary. has attracted to Itself from
all countries the most energetic element. which.
once on its soil and freed from all letters r~estlessly
progressing. has extended its power and influence
