h as not denied that he is goipg to make
Joe Reed his deputy, has kept no records
Of the contracts as they we're given by the
commissioners. He HASN'T exhibited
enough interest TO attend the commits

him to do and see what Is going on. The
people must see that they cannot trust

court house ring. A night or two since,
prominent attorney went to the court
house to see II jury had made report
in case In which he was interested 1t

tariff schedule and system of taxation
so that the rich and productive islands
will not only pay their own expenses
but their porportionate share of the ex-
pense of the general government. We
can open their gates to American en-
terprise and capital, and build up the
commerce of America in the eastern
seas
After we have had control of the is
lands for a sufficient length of time
other problems will open themselves.
1t may then be advisable to give the is
lands independence, it may be advis-
able to annex them and to give their
people the rights OF citizenship, but
these are questions for another genera
ton. We will all be gathered to our
fathers before the Philippine islanders
will be raised either to the standard of
self government or American citizen
ship.
Some critics urge that the president
should at once announce the policy of
the nation fifty perhaps hundred
years in advance. What supreme folly
it would be for the president to give ut
terance to a policy in the carrying out
of which he will have nothing to do,
and all to satisfy the curiosity of idle
peanut politicians.
! Now then-al who are in favor Of
taking the Philippines under our inn
mediate control, giving them the bene.
| fit of American laws and American in
stitutions, of making the islands self
sustaining and profta BILE, both to the
natives and to America; all who are in
favor of taking them now and doing
our best to civilize them and letting the
next generations take care of the ques.
ton of whether they shall be annexed
or given their independence, will please
say AYE" We know the vast majority
of the people will join the chorus Of
Americanism.

Mr.. Mckinley and His Critics

Inc democrats are rejoicing because
it is averred that the senate will not
ratify the treaty with Spain. These
are the same people who cursed Nc
Kinley because he did not go to war
with Spain before our army and navy
were in any degree prepared for fighting
they are the same people who accused
the president of appointing officers on
account of politics only, when in fact he
appointed more democrats than rerub-
licans; they are the same people who
ragged because the president did not
rush our twenty thousand regular
soldiers against a hundred thousand
Spaniards entrenched at Havana.
The whole strength of the denuncia-
ton is asserted against the possession
of the Philippine Islands. Every day
these malcontents are forced to admit
that what Mckinley has done is right,
but what he is doing is wrong, and that
uncertain thing which he is going to do
is crime.
There are several courses open in re-
gard to the Philippines.
First. To return them to Spain. All
in favor of this say AYE"
Second. To let the natives govern
themselves as they please. That is let
them misgovern themselves all they
wish, let them have instruction after
insucrection until some other nation
takes possession of them. If the United
States places the islands on this foot
ing. what right would we have to COM
plain if Spain herself fitted out feet
and recaptured the islands? How could
we complain if any other power con-
quered the islands and retained them
or, to avoid international troubles turn
ed them over to their old master Spain?
Now then let all those in favor of al
lowing the natives to misgovern them
selves, until any other power that
wishes gobbles them up, will please
say 'saye."
Third. We may establish protect
crate over the islands. They would
have local self government and the
United States would stand hack to
guarantee every fool thing they did.
This is decidedly jug handle arrange
ment. If the Philippines break any
ones window glass we guarantee the
bill. That is we are to be at continual
expense to protect their interests, to
dip into their affairs, to stand between
them and other nations, but without
one single hope of reward or national
gain. This is little too philanthropic
for home consumption but, all who are
in favor say faye"
Fourth. We can take possession of
the islands. place them under martial
or colonial rule, give them good laws,
good schools. good courts, and oppor-
tunities We can arrange an equitable

MR.. sTEAD's DISCOVERIES

Mr.. William Stead has spent the past
few months with his delicate finger
upon the pulsebeat of European public
opinion and has discovered the re-
markable fact that the continental pow
ers are pointing a finger of scorn at us
and joining in the chorus YOU'RE just
as bad as we are" He also discovered
that the tone of England was friendly.
Any man of good common sense who
could not have sat down in his back
office and figured this out is a copper
lined idiot.
OF course the continental powers are
jealous. Why should they not be?
They have been grabbing and stealing
everything in sight, without shadow
of excuse save their lust for power.
Now, that the fortunes of war have
placed desirable colonies in the posses
sion of the United States they are
thrown into spasms Of righteous in
dignation. The sudden regard which
they entertain concerning the i'm
maculate virtue of America is as touch
ing as confidence man.
| When in Germany just after the
passage of the Mckinley tariff we found
that the German people were very
much opposed to it. We did not blame
them, it injured their commerce in the
same proportion that it helped our own.
We mistrust that now, as then, the
ruling principle with the continental
powers is that of self-interest. And
what they may say about expansion
should have just about the same weight
as what they said about the protective
tariff. The old military maxim, ''Never
do what your enemy wants you to do
holds good in this case, for while the
continental powers are not in one sense
our enemies, still the principles Of
monarchy and republicanism will al
ways be at variance until one or the
other reigns supreme.

market when the road is constructed.
Would Expend as Much In Charity.
This, in my judgment, is absolutely
essential to the pacification and de-
velopment of that great island. 1t will
bring its minerals, lumber, and agri-
cultural products to market and open
up communication with all parts of the
island with the least possible delay.
The road would be good property, and
when it had served its pu. pose for the
government could he sold for it's cost.
Ii suchan improvement is not made the
government will, no doubt, expend
fully that amount in charity. Even if
this road be built, there is immediate
necessity for large appropriation to
relieve the destitute.
An appropriation for monument to
General Grant and the promotion of
the War Departments chief clerk to
the rank of lieutenant colonel are re-
commended.
The report says the supply of powder
was a most troublesome question at the
outbreak of the war. There are only
two establishments in this country
which manufacture smokeless powder,
and they own patents upon the process.
These, however, like all other com.
panies called to aid the government, re-
sponded with alacrity, ran the works
day and night, and produced in short
time an ample supply.
The report continues:
The Krag-Jorgensen. or a similar
thirty-caliber magazine gun, should be
manufactured until we have at an early
date at least 100000 stands of those
arms in our arsenals, and an ample
supply of ammunition for the same
The sea-coast defenses should also be
brought to completion without DELAY
so that hereafter no emergency will
find us unprepared to meet it. In this
connection attention is called to the
difference in the caliber of the heav,
guns and small arms. In my judgmen
they should be alike in both branches
OF the services (army and navy, to en-
able either arm to supply the other will

too patent to need elaboration.
