WE MUST DECIDE.

The only question of actual difficulty
before the peace commission at Paris
is the question concerning the Phil
| ippine islands. spain no longer has
interest in Cuba and Porto Rico. Its
not probab BILE we shall make any de-
mand on Spain for war indemnify IN
money, and on the other hand we shall
refuse to make any stipulation for
REIN bursement to Spain on account
of her Cuban debt. No question re-
mains. then, as to the West Indies. 1t
is in the East Indies that the trouble
some business lles,--says the Oregon
| ian.
The proposal to keep Luzon and
leave the other islands OF the Phil.
| ippine group In the hands OF spain Is
| utterly impracticable; for the rebellion
against Spain is general. and we could
| neither help her put it down, nor
stand as witness to warfare In the
Philippines similar to that against
which we. protested in Cuba. Again,

Instructed to require from Spain a
guarantee that she will accord the
people there liberal government.
Hut who is to be the judge as to that
I oeral government? What Spain
would call liberal government would
,r lily come up to our ideas or re-
q rements.
In holding the islands, in pacifying
and governing them, no doubt we shall
have difficulties if we meet the situa
tion at once. openly and boldly. by
assertion of an exclusive sovereignty.
By adoption OF any other course we
shoul entangle ourselves both with
Spain ard with the people of the is
llnds, and enter a most troublesome If
not intermiDable problem.
The argun ent as to the opportunity
here pres e1ted to US for our national
expansions and for extensions of OF r
commerce is of another kind. L. chi, +
ly concerns ourselves, and Is to q
decided according to our views OF our
own national interest Our right Of |
conquest under the laws of our wa"
and the usage of nations is complete
Therefore we have a right to do JUS
what we think our national interests
require, subject TO the moral sense of !
mankind and to our duties to human- /
ity. We have it in our power, while ,
obtaining new footholds fo- CONNER
cial growth and dominion, to improve
the condition of the popu alton of the |
islands. We can establish among
them a just government, to which
they ever have been strangers under
Spanish. rule.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-'rhat G
terrible disaster has overtaken the
command of General Bacon at Leech
lake, there Is no longer any doubt.
The scope of that disaster is still prob

upon by Indians in ambush yesterday
morning, and bloody hattie ensued.
The 6ghting has continued with brief
intermission ever since, and the end
is not in sight.
Reports regarding the losses on
both sides conflict, tut it is certain
the soldiers have suffered terribly,
and that many Indians have been
killed. One report says that Racon's
entire command has Leen annihilated,
and that the fighting is now being
carried ON by settlers.

The Chicago News reviews the Letter
wheat deal. 1t thinks the farmers made
1000, 900, possibly $4,000, 900, more
out OF their crops than they would have
made except for Letter; that the consum-
ers in this country did not pay to exceed
one-half Of this amount, that the remain
der was exported and that foreign con
snmers paid the advance ON that amount;
that in addition there was much made
by the farmers on the sympathetic rise OF
corn and oats, II says Letters deal was
not executed from the standpoint OF the
speculasor, but Of the merchant, the one
working to corner some one, the other to
buy and to unload on consumers at an
advance.
None OF the papers which have been
gibbering "dOllar wheat" have very
much to say about the Letter deal Those
that took the operations Of a wheat cor
ner 70 try to combat a fixed law OF fin
ance and philosophy are remarkably
quiet now. The reason is plain enough.
They do not want to tell the consumers
in the cities that when they were telling
them all the time that the fall in silver
had nothing to do with the fall Of wheat,
they knew every day that by the tricks
OF a Spectator, or rather by the tricks Of
a combination OF international capital
lists, they were being made to pay $40.
600, 900 more for their bread than they
naturally would have had to; that while
they were being robbed. the ''teachers OF
the people" were at the same time trying,
through the robbery. to befoy them,
touching principle which is immutable;
so that when it again came time for them
to vote, they would gain cast their bal
lots to keep themselves IN perpetual
slavery.
We do not believe what The News says
about the gain to the farmers, because
the great bulk OF the crop was sold before
the great rise began. The plan was TO
chcaply as possible. |; is as idle to APP
ply any economical laws to the transact
ton as It would be to describe the per-
iormances OF II hcnEawk in a chicken
coop from a similar standpoint.
In the meantime wheat has, within
two weeks. dropped G5 cents pes lnshel
