considerable detailed information r2la-

Congressman Dingley explains that the
ssopen door, does not necessarily smean
free trade; only that whatever tariff is de-
termined upon shall be applied equally to
imports from all countries, including the
United States, into the Philippines-in
brief that no preference shall be given any
nation Under Spanish rule preference was
given to goods imported from Spain. Mr..
Dinghy thinks tariff different from
that at home can only be maintained
while the Philippines are held under a
military administration, but If thespro-
vision Of the Constitution relating to
duties on imports applies to the terri
tories as well as to the states, it is diff
cult to see how the former can be relieved
from it By putting them under military
administration. If it does not apply to
territories then we can make any tariff
we desire for the Philippines, without re-.
gard to our tariff at home. That is, we
can keep the door open just as well under
a civil as a military administration of the
Philippines.

movement ought not to be confined to
New York city or New York state. The
whole country should cooperate in 1t. We
went to war not merely to liberste the
Cuhans from Spanish oppression. but to
liberate them from the poverty and suffer-
ing Spanish misrule had brought upon
them. The first part of our mission has
been accomplished. Spanish sovereignty
over the island is practically at an end.
But the second part is yet to be fulfilled.
Three years of war have devastated the
country, driven the people from their
homes and deprived them of their means
of self support This condition must be
relieved before we have accomplished all
that we pledged ourselves to the world to
do; and perhaps no more intelligent and
practical method can be devised than that
outlined by Mr.. Howard. Doubtless this
will have to be preceded in many districts
by more direct aims giving, for in many
the people are on the verge Of
starvation and nothing but free distri-
button of food can save them. But when
the pressing necessities have been re-

Whsn the war was pen ding it was as
serted in the East that everybody 1.-THE
West was heartily in favor of it. Yet it
became clear enough subsequently that
Western sentiment in regard to the mat
ter was not very different from Eastern.
When the question of national expansion
began 90 be discussed it was asserted that
everybody out West was in favor of hold
ing all the territory we had captured. But
evidence is accommodating which goes to
show that the expansion sentiment of the
West. like the war sentiment, has been
grossly exaggerated. A short time ago
the Hon. C. A. Pillsbury declared in an
interview that all the business men of the
West were opposed TO the annexation Of
the Philippines, and that its supporters
belonged chiefly to the 'swhooping up'
element. The editorial paragraph which
we subjoin, from the Indianapolis
journal. one OF the most influential Re-
publican newspapers of the West, shows
that though it may be reported in the
East and at Washington that sentiment
in the West is practically unanimous for
annexation, that is far from being the
fact:
It appears that most men going from
this part Of the country to Washington re-
part that the sentiment is unanimous and
decided in faver of the acquisition of the
Philippines. II one sense that may be
true, but it is equally true that silent
reaction is taking place in regard to the
policy which should be pursued. The
young and well known Republican who
said yesterday, "The moro think of the
Philippine affair the greater objections 1
can see to assuming the responsibility of
Jhem," gave utterhnee to a much wider
sentiment than manY will believe to exist.
The fact that another well known man
responded, 81 agree with you, shows
that it is probable that a slight reaction
Is going on among thoughtful men. Some
plan for the management OF the islands
may be presented by the President which
may reverse the doubts which now exist,
but unless there shall be some proposition
in that line, it is unwise to assume that
because it is not assertiYe there is not
large number of men who would like to
be in accord with the President who have
grave doubts regarding the popular theory
of expansion. ANY person who desires
correct information should not be misled
by positive assertions that sentiment on
the subject Is unanimous ana emphatic.

CUBAN RELIEF.

What seems to be very intelligent and
promising plan of helping the Cubans
has beea devised by Mr.. William W..
Howard of New York. 1t is based on tine
teachings of two years experience in
Armenian relief work, and aims, as all
charity should, to make the objects of it
help themselves. Briefly outlined the
plan is as follows:
Ito secure good farming land where
the need of the poor is the most pressing
2.-To sustain there capable Ameri-
can superintendent, with implements.
seeds, and funds sufficient to employ a
considerable number Of men.
$40 set at work all the ahle bodied
poor and pay them full market rates for
their labor.
