prevalent in this country that the nrsb
duty of the United States was to look out
for its own citizens, and to keep the gov
ernemnt free FROM contamination by the
ignorant, the vicious and the uncivilized
of Europe and Asia. Since then Senator
Lodge and great many OF the peopie
who stood beside him in support OF MS
measure have seen new light, and 1t mas
been revealed to them how sordid timing
it is for the people of the United states
to look out for themselves, when the
world is full of people wko iced LOOKING
out for. Having practically come 10 inc
conclusion that it is our paramount duty
to Incorporate in our body polite some
eight or teu millions of Tagals and
Filipinos, that we may confer the bless
ings of liberty and good government upon
them, it would lie the height OF absurdity
to set to work stopping up all the holes
and cracks through which some OF the ig-
norant and uncivilized of Europe may Ill
ter in among US. Not only that, it would
be unjust and thoroughly inconsistent
with our new missionary policy. 1t is
quite as much our duty to elevate the
down trodden of Europe as of Asia, and
the tact that the former come to us for
elevation while we go to the latter, ought
not to be counted against them. Indeed
it ought to tell in their favor because the
elevating process can be carried on more
cheaply and more effectively at close
range than at arms length. But is there
not danger in opening wide our doorsP
Certainly. But SO there is in stretching
out our arms to embrace all the oppressed
people of the universe SO that they may
share with us the blessings of good gov
eminent. But Danger must never be al
lowed to interfere with Destiny.

ssGen. Miles proposes an increase of rs per
cent in the pay of officers and men VIII
serve in the tropics. Something like this
will be necessary If we are to get any vol
uuteers for service in the torrid zone, and
it is greatly to be doubted if even this in
crease win be enough to attract the num-
Der of men we must have. 1t is problem
atical now how many men will be needed
in the Philippines. Gen Otis estimates
that %, COO or &c. 600 will do, and SO per-
haps they will, If the Inhabitants prove
tractable and inclined to submit to our
soy areignty. But if they don't, which is
by no..neans improbable, then double that
number may not be sufficient. The esti-
mate for Cuba is $4,000 and Porto Rico
5000, SO that 30, 900 or 80, 600 men at least
will be needed for service in the tropics
for some years to come. and perhaps over
100. 0e0. To get that number of men for
that service we have got to offer some
strong inducements.

When Mr. Bryan first found his tongue
united be delivered discourse in which
there was not word about free silver.
From this it was naturally inferred that
he had discovered, what has been patent
to almost every body else since the fall
elections, that silver was dead issue,
and if he was to be the candidate in 1900
he would have to hunt up some other.
But reflection and q suggestion by Chair
man Jones tha6 the Philippine question
would in all probability be irrevocably
settled before 1900, have sent him back
to free silver. The money issue is still,
he Processes to believe. the paramount is
eue and will still be SO when 1900 and the
Democratic convention arrive. With that
as the paramount issue the Democrats
have succeeded in losing all the senators
irom the Northern States except Utah.
Continued few years longer as the
paramount Issue, it may make the Sem
=. ate solidly Republican.

A modification of the Paris treaty by
the Senate will not be attended with any
danger whatever. 1t will not tend in the
slightest degree to reopen the war with
Spain or postpone for any considerable
length of time contamination of peace.
The talk that change in the treaty
would be dangerous is all nonsense.
Whatever we determine upon, Spain has
got to accept. 1t may be that when the
text of the treaty is known there will be
no good reason for modifying it, but If
there is, the Senate can go to work and
change it without any fear that the al
teration will not be promptly accepted by
Spain.

Mr. AgoncelIo, who represents Aguin :
aldo, the leader of the Philippine insur-
gents, is on his way to this country to
protest against the transfer of sover-
essnty cver the Philippines from Spain
to the United States without the consent
of the people of those islands. he is said
to be going to contend that the people
of the Philippines are the real SOW
ereigns and that they and they alone can
dis ose of or transfer sovereignty. There
are some paragraphs in our Declaration
of Independence, such as government
derives it's just power from the consent
of the governed lit is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it their
government, and to institute new gov
ernmept. laying it's foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and happi-
ness" that seem to give good deal of
support to Agoncello's heretical ideas,
and no doubt he has been reading up on
that document and is ready to spring
it on our imperialists as sort of coup
de grace. But Mr.. Agoncello is ''fresh. -
The Decl aration of Independence is more
than one hundred years old and it's
principles are obsolete.

A Sudden Demise.

The death of Miss Mary Mcintyre,
which we regret to announce, took
place last evening at the family resi-
dence on Nuuanu Avenue.
The deceased was a favorite
among her many friends who loved
her for her gentle and pleasant
manners and her sincere and honest
opinions.
Her illness which necessitated ac-
cording to her physicians an opera
ton was brief and the last effort Of
the doctors proved fatal.
Miss Mary Mcintyre was 33 years
OF age and was to all appearance as
healthy as she was pleasant and
generous.
The firm Of f. A. Schaefer q Co
closed their Offices this morning out
Of respect for Frank p. Mcintyre, the
brother OF the deceased, who has
been associated with the house OF
Sch aeier g. Co. for many years. The
sympathies OF the community are
extended to the bereaved family
whose lovely home has been broken
up by the mournful event.
The funeral will take place this
afternoon at 3 o'clock from the
family residence.
