The foundation principle underlying
American institutions, that the govern
ment derives it's just rights only by
the consent of the governed, will sure
ly be overthrow if the Philippines are
annexed. The press of Manila con-
tinues unanimously to demand the in
dependence of the islands and to OPP
pose annexation to the United States
This is case where the common peo-
pie on both sides appear to be OF one
mind. 1t remains to be seen which
have the upper hand at Washington
the people or handful of plutocrats
and stock jobbers.

Wa shington Times.

Washington Times.
Washington and Lincoln excepted, no
man in the history OF the United States
ever had the chance of William McKin-
ley to carve for himself a niche of true
greatness in the enduring rock OF his
country's annals. What has he done
with it? The recognized leader OF his
fellow-countrymen in an adventure
whose results all men know must mark
a new departure in the whole scheme
of the nations and the worlds econ
omy. and must compel America TO eX-
pand from the position of big, fat but
inconsidered Chinese province 10 the
proportions and influence OF a vast and
mighty empire should be man OF
mind and constructive genius. At least
he should have some conception OF the
problem imposed upon the nation by
the events in connection with which he
has been the most conspicuous figure
and factor. American pa
triotism has been standing silent, with
hat in hand. yearning for the grand and
vivifying deliverance of a Master. 1t
has simply been drenched with dish
water.

Discussion is one thing, Legislation
is quite another. Now is the time to
discuss. A year hence it will be time
to make laws, if by that time we have
made up our minds what kind of laws
we ought to make. If the President
has any ideas or convictions on the
subject of the Philippines he ought to
communicate them to the public. That
would help and might guide the dis
cussion.

Philadelphia Record.
The masses OF the Spanish people
have regarded with Indifference the
loss of their colonies, and intelligent
public opinion in Spain does not look
upon the matter in the light of calam-
ity. In this situation the Presidents
message in refraining from any dis
cussion OF. the policy Of this govern
ment toward the Philippines has been
a grievous disappointment. 1t was
thought that the President would seize
this occasion to meet the opponents OF
the expansion policy a loutrance-
Especially was this expectation Just-
fed in view of the fact that the Presl-
dent has been given in the newspaper
press and through all the other agen-
cies of propaganda the utmost encour-
oooment. The President says
in effect to the Senate, "Ratify the
treaty." and to the House, Vote the
s2O. 600 900 and such other sums as may
be necessary to carry the treaty into
effect" The two houses are told that
it is simply no more nor less than a
patriotic duty to accept the treaty as
an accomplished fact from which there
is no retreat, and that the government
of the Philippines as an American pos
session is a matter for subsequent
consideration. But what more fitting
occasion could there have been than
this for a President desiring to deal
frankly with Congress and the country
to have presented the reasons-polit-
ical. commercial and military-for
which he desired the acquisition or
these islands? Why should anything
have been withheld at this time that
might have enabled Congress to arrive
at just conclusions on so momentous
transaction?

This important and interesting mat
ter consists of an interview on the sub
ject with Hon. John T. McGraw, in
which he gives his reasons for the sus-
picion he early entertained that all was
not right in Preston; an interview with
Hon. NJ d. Post, Mr.. McGraw's legal
representative at the canvass of the
solidly Republican board of Preston,
in which the subject is reviewed at
length and in detail; statement from
Mr.. c. r. Peyton, of Washington, d.
c., also employed by Mr. McGraw on
this case and on top of this evidence
from the Registers sources of informa-
ton, it publishes, also, ths complete
bill OF exceptions to the astounding
rulings of the county court of Preston,
drawn up by Mr.. Post and duly signed
and sealed by the President and the
Clerk of the court.
The Register presents this unim-
peachable evidence, which, as we have
said, speaks for itself, without argu-
ment. 1t requires none.
All the Register asks is that honest
and fair minded Republicans exam ne
it carefully and impartially and judge
for themselves if the Register has ex-
aggerated with reference to the irregu-
larities of the election in Preston, and
If these irregularities were not sufficient
to vitiate a large part of the returns
from that county.
The Register is content to rest the
case with the public.

fore the departure of the troops for
Santiago The general was standing
in the office of the Tampa Bay hotel
one evening. dressed in a plain busi-
ness suit and smoking a cigar. when Al
tall, raw -boned private from the Fifth
Maryland regiment strolled up to him
and said:
Say, partner, give us a light"
The man addressed put his hand In
his pocket, drew out a silver case, took
a match from it, struck fire and handed
it politely to the soldier, who thanked
him and lighted his cigar.
The encounter was witnessed by the
porter of the hotel, who watched his
chance and said to the soldier:
who was the man that gave you
the match?"
II don't know, except that he is a.
gentleman" returned the Maryland
boy.
