THE NEW POSSESSIONS.

The American peace commissioners
sre expected to present TO the Spanish
commissioners on Monday their de-
mands as to the Philippines. 1t is ex-
pected that the entire group of islands
will be demanded ard that the treaty
will be soon concluded. 1t is believed
that President Mckinley is in full ac-
cord with the policy OF the imperialists.
and that he is in favor OF programme
of territorial expansion which includes
the Philippines.
It is stated in Washington that the
American Peace Commissioners at
Paris will receive final instructions
from Washington concerning the Phil
ippine question, and in substance they
will be as follows. the United States
is to assume absolute control and pos
session of the entire Philippine archi
pelago. The United States is to as
sumo the Philippine debt OF $40, 00,0O0
contracted by Spain in her bond issue
of 1896" The Spanish Commissioners
have signiied their willingness to &C.
cept this arrangement. The American
Commissioners have recommended 1t
as the simplest solution OF problem
which has hitherto been regarded as the
only one likely to result in Sd open
rupture OF peace negotiations.
Spanish securities in the European
and American markets have maintain
ed a remarkable degree of strength
from the beginning OF hostilities, and
particularly since the signing OF the
protocol. 1t is known that large blocks
of these Spanish securities, and partic-
ularly those built upon Philippine rev
enues, were purchased for American
bond account.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
Ia your editorial of the 9th instant,
referriug to the statement that the
President is considering the propriety
of reviving the republican practice OF q
few years ago; namely, sending troops
to southern States in order to influence
the elections and terrorize the whites,
YOU quote the scriptural passage about
the dog returning to his vomit." The
passage is to be found in the 2lst and
22i verses of the second chapter of the
second epistle general of Peter. threads
as follows:
.'For it had been better for them not
TO have known the way Of righteous
ness. than, after they had known it,
to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto them.
"But it is happened unto them &C.
cording to the true pro7erb: The dog
is turned to his own vomit again; and
the SOW that was washed to her wal
lowing in the mire.
This passage is particularly appro-
pirate. The sow was washed, it seems,
but the nature of the beast could not
be changed by washing. 1t went back
to the "mire." So with the republi-
can partv. It's old crimes and the old
filth have for it an almost irresistible
attraction. 1t wants bayonets for the
northern workingmen, bayonets for
fine southerners, and bayonets for Gu

hates freedom just as it hates the truth.
The sow must needs 60 back to the
