1.-THE CONSENT OF THE
GOVERNED" F"

TO hear the Southern anti-ex-
pansionists talk about the unwls-
dom of accepting the Philippines
"witheut the consent of the gov
erned !" one wou j think that they
we're the NEST ardent and honest
supporters of republican gov
ernment, wherein every citizen
whether white or black is accorded
the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage. 1t is another
instance of the Pharisee who makes
broad his phylacteries but whose
inner and outer life gives the lie to
his demaGogury and false preten-
tions. OF all the people who claim
to be Americans the southern auto
crat is the last person who should
talk of "the consent of the gov
erned" He is even now In the pres
ence of class of citizens who by
the organic Law of the land are cltl-
zens in the fullest sense Of the
term. They form the most SUBJ
stantial and reliable portion OF the
southern population, producing
about everything that is raised and
deporting themselves in a quiet
and law abiding manner. In point
of education, they have far outstrip-
ned the white southerner and have
shown moral aptitude and demon
strated official integrity of superb
or order. They are in the best
sense entitled to recognition as
a part of "the governed" And
yet they are treated as aliens
and are denied that consideration
which these southern hypocrites de-
clare belong to the Philippines. 1t
were far better il the alarmists set
about showing their patriotism and
CONSTANT interest in the theory
and practice of republican govern
ment and proving themselves good
citizens before they assume to
stand as the sponsors and exponenis
of the most enlightened American
citizenship. This opposition to e1-
parsion on the part of the South is
in sad and ludicrous contrast with
the expansion of slave territory up
on which they insisted even to the
dismemberment of the Union, if
need be. The fact is that the South,
finding itself about to be sent adrift
for want of an issue dependent en-
tirely or for the most part upon
their will, is now grasping at the
straw of anti-expansion, in the
hope that by advocating it they
may continue their hold upon the
rudder of the democratic party.
They have tried slavery, territorial
expansion, fiat money, irredeema-
bic silver and have failed. They
are now bowling about anti-expan-
sion and will for the same reason
which doomed the other issues
come out Of the same end Of the
horn. 1t may be alright to object
to the acquisition of more territory
upon reasonable grounds; but when
the Southern red-shirt acts in the
dramatic role of anti-eXpansionlsts
on the ground that antagonizes
the well defined policy of acting in
harmony with the "consent of the
governed" it is time for the world
to take day off and have q hearty
laugh.
