Joe Wheeler, American.

In speech at Nashville on Thurs
day last Gen. Joe Wheeler said:
"The history of the last 800 years has con-
clusively shown that colonial governments
alo 9 can retain permanent control of for
egn markets. 1 am firm believer hat 1t
will be in our power to instill the princi-
Piles of American civilization in the peoples
Of the Philippines"
Gen. Wheeler is proud of his country
and believes in its capacity to extend
to other peoples it's institutions and its
civilization. The opponents of expan-
sion doubt or deny that capacity The
noisiest OF them never miss an oppor-
tunity to sneer at the United States, to
inpute corruption and ignorance and
base motives to its public men, to in
sist that it is tainted aud incompetent.
They are not proud of their country.
They are ashamed of it. AS they dis
trust the ability of Americans to Iule
themselves at home, they naturally dis
trust their ability to rule other people.
If American self-yoverment is such a
shameful failure, they ask, why try to
extend it?
Joe Wheeler like George Dewey, be-
lieves in the American people. He be-
lieves that the annexation of the Phil
ippines will be advantageous TO The
United States and that the introduce
ton of American civilization will be adj
vantageous to the inhabitants of the
Philippines.
The country has just voted to sustain
the views of Wheeler, Dewey, and Nc
Kinley.

Alternative Propositions.

In considering whether we should
demand of Spain that she relinquish
her authority over the entire Philip
pine group, it is not enough to consid-
er the serious objections to such a de-
thoughtful man will doubt. We must
also consider what alternative PROPOSE
lions are possible, and whether the OBJ
jecLions to those propositions are not
more serious. These alternative propo-
sitions appear to us to be the following:
FIRST, we might Immediately withdraw
from the Philippine archipelago, and
leave Spain to settle her controversy
with the Flipinos as best she can.
Since her navy is practically destroyed,
her army disofganized, and her treas
ury is bankrupt, it may be safely assum-
ed that she could not maintain her
authority over the islands, over which
her rule was maintained with extreme
difficulty when she was in much more
p osperOus condition than at present.
The probable result of our withdrawal
from the Philippines would be either to
relegate the islands to anarchy or to
leave Spain to sell what she does not
possess to some other power, probably
Germany, which would be able to main
tain over them an imperial despotsm
which Spain is too feeble and too weak
to maintain. Such a desertion of q
people whom we have half liberated
seems 10 us dishonorble and selfish not
to say inhuman. 1t certainly would be
no better for us to claim for our
selves Manila as an American
port for our own trade advantages, and
leave the rest of the island of Luzon
and the other islands to shift for them
selves. Another alternative would be
to demand simply the island of Luzon,
leaving the other islands still under
Spanish control. IT we may judge from
Mr.. Dean G. Worcester's account of
the Philippines in the Century Maya
zine, this would be to take the chief if
not the only island of value in the ar
chipelago, leaving the responsibility
for the government of the rest TO a
power wholly incompetent to exercise
it. 1t would also, probably, involve
us in perpetual difficulties with Spain.
if she maintained her sovereignty over
The rest of the islands. Nor would the
danger of ENHANCEMENT be much les
sened if she transferred those islands
for consideration to Germany. The
case is full of perplexities and difficult
ties; but it appears to us that the course
OF courage is also the course of honor
and of prudence, and that the wise and
righteous policy for the United States,
in consideration of all the difficulties of
the case, is TO insist upon assuming re-
sponsibility for the entire archipelago,
and then, with courage and with
faith in its own principles, to take
up the work of organizing as rapidly as
possible free institutions in the islands,
leaving the question of the closeness ana
nature of their relations to the United
States to be determined hereafter by
the course of events. OF the possible
nature of those relations we have 8 ok

In accusing the press of Vermont OF hav-

the people and the Legislature as TO the

fhe Emergency Brings Out the Man

The United States seeks no foreign
al that duty does not cast upon it. The
Nation has it's chance-and it comes
also in the form of duty-to civilize
without bloodshed. Yet the Litle
Americans pretend TO believe the Ma
ton is not strong enough to do it.
Fortunately there are courageous
men among us yet, men too far seeing
to pronounce the new responsibilities
either slight or altogether inviting.
But they have read their American
history well and they know that when
emergencies have arisen, the United
States has generally seen the men for
the hour arise with them
So far as we know, Admiral Dewey,
of New England parentage, never
passed through school where diplu-
macy and colonial government are
specially studied, but by universal
judgment he has displayed unmistak-
able ability, almost genius, in graphing
with new-formed and serious problems.
1t is not likely that even Great Britain
often sends to her colonies more in
corruptible public servant or more
devo ed worker that Col, George E.
Waring, whose life was lost in the au-
gean task of cleaning Cuba. A year
ago DR.. Leonard Wood was not a e. D.
tleman of wide reputation. Not long
ago he became Colonel, then General
Wood, and later military governor of
Santiago. Gen. Wood has done more
in three months to make the inhabit-
ants of Santiago industrious, hesllhful
honest and self-respe citing than Spain
did in as many centuries and he has
done it simply by the introduction to u
very slight degree of the American
ideas of freedom, and common sense

J. w. Mallet. professor of chemistry
In the University of Virginia. in a com
munication to the current number OF
the Scientific American, says with ref
erenee TO cigarettes OF American man
ufacture:
ignorance Of easily ascertainable
scientific facts is, however, common
enough, as Is often illustrated by the
brown, oily material formed In the
smoking of tobacco being pointed out
as nicotine, though in reality this In
merely the tar produced by the action
or heat on the woody fiber of the leaf.
Nicotine when pure is a colorless
huid OF somewhat oily consistence and
strong, peculiar, penetrating odor, but
1t darkens on exposure to air and light.
Incoming first yellow and then brown.
SO that 1t looks. in this darkened con-
dition, something like the tarry matter
which soils a smokers fingers or a
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke Is exhaled. or Is often noticed
as deposited in the stem OF a. pipe.
This tarry deposit has nothing es-
sential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces of this alkaloid.
when any at all.
"A part, but only a small part (about
one-seventh In the experiments OF
Melsens). OF the real nicotine of to-
bacco, Is volatilized without decompo-
sition; the remainder Is burned and
destroyed In the process of smoking"
The simple facts are. that such cigar
cites as have examined, representing
a large part OF those in general use
thr oughout the United States. are
made from pure. l~ight-yellow tobacco
OF the high grade produced on certain
special soils. prominently in certain of
