Presidents Message Proves a Bissppoint-
ment to Dockery, Vest and Bland.

/ PRESIDENT message rreHeS Disapp0nt-
ment to DOcksry, Vest and Bland.
Washington, ID. c. Dec. 5.-The
Presidents message was a disap-
pointment to most CT the members
from Kansas and Missouri, because
it failed to state positive impressions
npon 50 many important subjects
Said Mr., Dockery, in commenting
on 1t: The message ia silent upon
most of the grea, questions that now
engage the attention of the people
as a result Of the war with Spain
However, the recommendation OF an
increase of the standing army 10
100000 men, with the right to re-
cruit from the inhabitants of the
islands with the government of
which we ire charged, obviously
contemplates the permanent reten
ton of all the Spanish territory we
have acquired by conquest. This
will prove grave departure from
the policies which have heretofore
guided us, inasmuch as the acquisi-
ton of Asiatic territory virtually
nullifes the spirit of the Monroe
doctrine.
i sincerely regret the president
has suffered himself, APPARENTLY, to
be swept off his feet as to this sub
ject by the clamor of mere sentiment
which will soon be silenced by the
more mature judgment of the people
If the war with Spain should result.
only In the acquisition of Porto Rico,
the liberation of Cuba and the Phil
ippines, the acquisition of the naval
station in tho Philippines, s. a
proper increase OF the navy and the
construction Of tie Nicaragu canal,
it would have done much to upIift
humanity and 10 enlarge the re
sources of this country.
81 ne results would greatly extend

prom Que the restoration Ct American
suprs macy on the high seas. But
the annexation of the Philippines
woul1 impose upsn large additional
burdens Of t&xation 10 maintain
armIss, usNIes and swarm of Office
holders Ter their government and
defense
The commerce of the Philippines
is relatively unimportant and offers
no inducement for embsrkiog upon
the English policy of colonial acqui
sItlcn We should seek en- expansion
of trade rather than an expansion Of
distant territory The first would |
enlarge cur markets and thus give
employment to labor, secure proper
rewards 10 the farmers, revive all |
our industries aud bring prosperity |
to all homes The second would |
entail burdensome taxes to sustain
large military and naval establish
ments, while our safety and interests
would be constantly meDaced by the
politics and policies Of European
and Asiatic powers
Senator Vest who attended the
session to dav, looking better and
stronger than for several years, said
that he could sse nothing particular
in the message The president did
not attempt to solve the great prob
lem of the Philippines. and his
recommendation for a standing
army of 100 900 would not b. taken
kindly by the people

The president was stronger for the

Gay for Washington City. He has

Eeels that this is an honor which
Should come to man Oh his merits,
without his seeking, aud he is 10th
TO enter into a scramble for it, But
ae also realizes that in view of the
vide range the discussion of this
matter has assumed a contest is
inevitable. He will be governed
largely in the matter by his friends
IN the House, II they think he
aught to enter the race, he will do
SO. Judge DeArmond is not a man
who shirks responsibility or avoids
q fight if it is necessary ia defense
of principle. He Is sensible of the
many compliments the newspapers
al over the country have paid him,
and the honor his colleagues would
confer in his being selected as their
champion, and he will not fail them.
