The policy of holding any conquests Owe may make in this war is destined oto gather very great force and may ocarry the country off its feet, reverse ) our historic policy and eventually ) change our entire system of govern : ment
 The evils that lie in it in the future may be wisely avoided by abstaining ) from making this a war of conquest. , The destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila was necessary for the protec- tion of our Pacific Coast. The tenn porary occupation of Philippine points that can serve Spain as her naval base , is also necessary to protect the Pa
 cific Coast.
 The permanent occupation of the Philippines with the duty of civilizing , their ten millions of half savages in a climate in which the Anglo-Saxon race
 cannot flourish is a policy that should not be thought of.

The San Francisco call., 1898-05-22

In the matter of the permanent oc- cupatfon of the Philippine Islands by the United States it seems to me thar 1t would be wise to adhere to the tra- ditions and policy of the United States as laid down by the great founders ana statesmen of our country.
 The United States find much trouble in applying the principles of our re- public in our own country, and thax after over one hundred years of ex- perience.
 It would be extremely difficult for us to successfully govern many million inhabitants of a far off land. whose manners, customs, thoughts and feel- ings are so widely different from our own.
 Permanent occupation of country carries with it the responsibility for the betterment-of the condition of its peo. pie, and I cannot see sufficient iustf. fication at the present time for tho withdrawal of our country's attention from the welfare of our own people in favor of a foreign people who are, in my judgment not so deserving of nor so likely to profit by that attention.

Repair the Roof.
(For a few days longer

Csantain Vest custodian of the Statehouse,
was sitting in his office yesterday, when he
was disturbed by a man.. The man was
dressed as a shabby genteel and had the
appearance of workingman who had not
been able to find work for some months.
1T notice you are having the copper roof
repaired" he said to the custodian land
i am informed that the work is being done
by one of your janitors. regular employee,
and not a union man."
Captain Vest asked the gentleman who
he was, and was shown card indicating
that the visitor was walking delegate for
some labor union. The visitor also showed
the custodian some tax receipts and inti-
mated that, as he was a taxpayer as well
as a walking delegate, he had right as a
citizen to investigate such irregular things
as having a roof repaired by nonunion labor.
Captain Vest informed the walking dele
gate that IL was true that some repairs were
being made on the roof by one of the JAM
tors and that the man would continue MAX
ing the repairs. He did not know whether
or not the janitor was a union man and
did not expect to inquire. He hoped the
walking delegate would allow him 10 at
tend to the Statehouse and that the walk
ing delegate would attend 10 his own affairs

satisfactory TO the visitor and he threatene
10 take the matter higher. Later he called
at the Governors office, but the Governor
was not in.
Regarding the matter captain Vest said
later that the new copper roof which ex-
Custodian Tim Griffin had put on the build
ing was leaky at times. Every timo there

SHE PRODUCED THE DIAMONDS
Servant Girl COnfcsses 40 PurIoining
JeWeIry.

Lena Rabenstein, comedy young woman
of twenty-one who was until a few days
ago employed in the household of Samuel
Rubens at GIG South Illinois street, was ar
rested yesterday and locked up on the
charge of grand larceny. A. valuable da-
mond ring, which was stolen from Mrs.
Rubens several weeks ago, was found in the
possession of the girl together with other
valuables which the Rubefs family identi-
fled. The prisoner resides in the south part
Of the city and belongs to a respectable
family
Some time ago Mr.. Rubens reported to the
police that his house had been entered by
burglars, and Detectives Dugan. Asch and
Weible went TO work on tho case. Rubens
told them his wife had lost .. diamond ring,
g. quantity of fine lace and some silk hand
kerchiefs that had been sent from the old
country. The morning after the supposed
burglary Rubens said he had found his
trousers in the kitchen and he missed
watch charm he had had made some time
before out of two twenty-dollar gold pieces.
The detectives, after visiting the premises.
came to the conclusion the work had not
been done by professional thieves. Mrs.
Rubens was convinced that her servant girl
was innocent.
A few days ago Lena Rabenstein gave
her employers notice that she desired TO
leave their service. Yesterday Detective
Dugan procured a search warrant and, with
Detective Weible. went to the girls home.
The young girl had several swooning at
tacks while the detectives were in the
house, but finally confessed that she had
been stealing from her employers. She
produced the diamond ring and some of the
other missing articles, but protested that
she was innocent of the theft of the watch
charm. She brought to the police
station, and while in the private Office of
Chief Detective Colbert had another swoon-
ing spell. The matron was called down to
that when the girl left the Rubens family
she told them she was soon TO be married.
and the detectives say they were given to
understand that she is engaged to a very
respectable young man.
Last evening the young womans father
appeared at the police station and put up a
bond of $500, upon which she was released.
