THE New York Sun suggests that
the right of suffrage is not essential to
the enjoyment of civil liberty, and
that the United States is under no OBJ
legation to grant that right to the in
habitants of the Philippine Islands, or
to the people of any other territory
that we may acquire. This is genuine
Tory doctrine of the old school. The
Tory of a hundred and twenty-five
years ago did not think that the right
of suffrage was an essential to civil
liberty, any more than Emperor Will
liam does now. Not one of the brood
of despots that now enslave the popu-
lations of the Old World will concede
that suffrage and liberty go hand-in-
hand. It is but natural that the Tory
upon this side of the Atlantic should
agree with them. The Sun broadly
hints that there are two classes in this
country-the wealthy and intelligent,
and the ignorant and thriftless-and
that in essentials the former must be
to have their way about all
matters of law-making, and also must
be allowed the privilege ot. declaring
what the essentials are. This is I'm
perialism with vengeance, but it is
what might have been expected. The
only matter of surprise is that the doc
trine was enunciated so soon; but
events have been transpiring so rapidly
that the plutocracy think it entirely
safe to throw aside the mask. Could
the entering wedge to the curtailment
of universal suffrage be once success
fully inserted in this country, they
imagine it could be driven home with
out great difficulty. 1t would be an
and at the same time a
departure in the right direction. for
this country to rule the territory pro-
posed to be acquired without reference
TO the wishes of its inhabitants. The
people would, they think, soon cease

The COST of Glory.
Nov. 12, %

The first name has been put on the
list of pensioners Of the Spanish war,
and the first official guess has been put
forward of the ultimate addition to be
made to our pension account in conse-
quence of war composed of two sea
fights and single land engagement.
The estimate given out informs us
that the new pension list will probably
amount to $40, 100000 year. Pension
estimates have always been below rath-
er than above the mark, both in omount
and in duration of term. The pensions
of the civil war will last far beyond a
fifsy-yea period, aud in fifty years tho
Spanish war pensions now in, sight will
take not less shan 81 ,000, 900, 900 out Of
the wages of labor and the earnings of
c pittl. With pension roll increased
to $4,000, 900 we shall be paying much
more to our soldiers in time of peace
than tho cost of the heaviest military
burden of any of the armed campsn
of Europe.
Bad as this outlook is it would be
well if il were the worst. Bnt it is only
the beginning. We are deliberately
proposing to enter upon policy of ter
ritorial expansion which inevitably car
ries with it an increase of land and ma
val armament and corresponding cost
compared to which the pension figures
of'this little Spanish wnr will seem n
trifie. The Administration which is
committed to this policy lefrains from
even making guess. Perhaps it does
not care to estimate what this new de-
parture into the path of glory will cost
