President Mckinley returns from his epoch
making trip 10 the South with public approval
ringing In his ears for words like these: After
destroying their Government, 1t is the duty of
"the American Government 10 provide for them
"a better one Shall we distrust ourselves: shall
"we procla i'm TO the world our inability to give
kindly government TO oppressed peoples whose
future by the victories of war is cOnided TO
"us?' He had not yet met General Merritt, who,
upon landing from the Philippines by way of
Paris and London. said: 1T Is the only course
''we could honoraby pursue. There was moral
obligation resting upon us 10 protect the
natives. and after giving them their freedom 1t
would be unjust TO turn them adrift where they
would be AT the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS politi-
"cians." With these declarations from the Chief
Executive Of the Nation and from the highest
military officer who has personal knowledge or
the Philippines. il becomes pertinent to consider
what sort of government it IS that Americans
propose 10 extend. II freedom under the just
and equal laws of this Nation is worth nothing.
the right or the duty TO extend it to peoples

the tree is Yet known by its fruit. There has
been endless criticism OF everything the Gov
eminent has done or left undone. but the most

Of unsurpassed knowledge of Old World and
American institutions. once listened TO chorus
Of faultfnding by his associates and quietly
remarked: But while in this country every

"whole everything goes better here than any
''where else.
After a season Of trial this Nation has risen by
one wise decision of the people 10 the hghcs
prosperity ever attained in this or any othe
country II is not merely that in aggregate
wealth this new country has become the rich

M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE.
1t Will in All Probability Go to Con-
gress Today.

I
gress Today.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The cab
met meeting today was not of unusual
duration, but extreme difficulty was
encountered in obtaining details con-
corning it. A cabinet officer, however,
authorized this much:
1.-THE situation on the Spanish affair
remains unchanged. The presidents
message is practically completed, and
is now being copied. The present pur-
pose is to send it to congress tomorrow.
The message and the general condition
of affairs were discussed, OF course,
quite fully, but no changes had ap-
peared which required any elaborate
discussion Of new measures"
After the cabinet meeting 1t was
learned that it is practically settled
that in his forthcoming message the
president will not make any recon-
mendation looking to the immediate
recognition Of Cuban independence. The
withholding of this recommendation is
not because of Indifference to the Cub
an cause, but is based upon the fact, as
the president views it, that the 1nSur-
gents have not established any govern
ment of their own, or such govern
ment at least as would warrant the
United States under the well-defined
principles of internadorsl law In TAX
ing such a step.
It is urged in SUPPORT sof this view
that by recognizing Cuba as an indie
pendent government. the United States
might under certain circumstances be
placed at a great Disadvantage. In case
this government should take possess
sion of the island, and the insurgents
should see fit to infliet capital punish
ment upon members OF the present
autonomist government or other per-
sons against whom they might have
special enmity, this government having
recognized their indepe ndence would
then be powerless to. prevent any &C
ton the Cuban government might see
fit to take. however orrepugnant to our
sense of justice and tight,
The better and Safer way. 1T Is
argued, would be for the United States
to take control of the island, if neces-
sary, to prevent further bloodshed and
administer it's affairs. or at least super
wise it's administration, in the interest
of justice and humanity, until Spain
and Cuba themselves, If possible, have
settled the whole question.
