Must We Free the Spanish, Also:

From the New Haven Leader
In the Philippines the Insurgents have not
been recognized by this government, but
Dewey has accepted them as allies in a GER
tain sense, but TO what extent perhaps even
President Mckinley does not know. We do
not believe it wise TO take the Philippines
merely for the sake of acquiring territory
but if any moral obligation has been in
CURED 1t must not be violated. 1t is urged
that the natives Of the Philippines have
Teen oppressed and kept in Il semi-civilized
condition by reason If spanish rule, and for
this reason this county ought 10 insist
tnat spanish control of the Philippines
should cease. That argument has no limi-
tstions If accepted as sound. In Spain two
thirds OF the people can neither read nor
write; their mental and moral development
mas been hindered and almost stopped by
Spanish rule. 1t is the duty Of the United
States to free the Spanish people from their
own rulers and system of government? ?
certainly the argument to which we refer
leads lrresistibly to that conclusion.

In time, repay us in trade much more than

That puts the balance on the right side
of the ledger to the extent of fifty millions
which is comfortable sum as war
legacy.
In face of this, why haggle in "old clio"
over the Philippines even? The country is
winner from any point of view. and the
terms the President may dictate can not

selfish.

So far the terms may be considered as

Meet Spain Half Way.


rum 'He DostoH Traveller t1n0 rep.).
The generosity of power is one of its most
Respondent qualities, and we can well af-
ford to be gracious toward our foes in the
terrible hour of acknowledgment of defeat
1t has been proved to the world that Amer
lea fears or need fear no foe. Our soldiers
and sailors have entwined the stars and
stripes with the glory of valor and skill
and have demonstrated to the world that
America is the mighty giant of the uni
verse. With SO much that is satisfying
We can well afford to be gracious and to
meet Spain something more than half way
in the negotiations that shall restore har-
mony between the nations. The foul deed
that destroyed the Maine has been avenged
50 far the blood of those innocent and
the destruction of the property and the
humbling of the nation responsible could
avenge it. Our ability to drive the Span
lard from the soil of Cuba has been dem
onstrated by the capture of a great prov
ince of the island with 25,0O0 soldiers. The
chief object Of the war, liberty for Cuba,
Is all but attained.
Spain has indicated desire for peace
and we are prepared, as We should be, to
grant it. To prolong the strife for the
mere purpose of territorial aggrandiZement
would be un-American and would nulify
the central idea of war begun for justice.

COaiing Stations and Unrestricted

From the Lewiston Journal (rep.).
The United States will rde the day it ap-
propriates the spoils system to any of it's
possessions or lends its noble heritage of
liberty solely to the task of exacting profit
from its conquests. No one anticipates
anything of this sort, bat, on the contrary

PRESIDENT Mckinley i'll the preliminary set
tement of this affair 10 legislate for gen.
eral welfare of the human race. Whether
Spain can ever re,-ain the control of the
Philippines is doubtful. 7: our nation gives
over these islands to Spain, that country
might at once be compelled to enter upor, a
war of reconquest Il at would be disastrous
In it's consequences. The general tenor of
foreign opinions is, therefore, that America
would do well to let go Of the Philippines;
return them to Spain, retaining lights of
coaling stations thereon and exacting urvi-
lege of unrestricted trade with the Islands.

Tho Russian Girl.

Fashion Is theiSolof the Russian

She loves admiration and filtration,
but her heart remains cold, though
che may be burning other hearts
with the fire OF her eyes. Nowhere
is woman, more dangerous than in

girl seeks a husband only for the
position he gives her. Matrimony is
Only a question Of fashion, and if q
Russian girl cannot find a husband
within u reasonable time. she can fill
no place in good society, and she ia
ridiculed by all her acquaintances:
thus, she watches with agony the ap

Every effort is thus made to win the
grand prize Of matrimony. Her

as fearsome lest she may be an old
maid. Then. when all efforts have
failed, when no more hope remains,
she takes adv tage Of the sole
remedy left to her "maiden widow
