In voicing his protest against the clan
destine and careless way in which pez-
sion bills are being got through con
gress-a protest in which he was in
dorsed by the chairman Of the pensions
committee, Senator Gallinger-Senat6r
Vest called attention to this enormous
drain and announced his determination
to do whatever he can to lessen it, with :
ont prejudice to the claims of deserving
pensioners.
A thoroug sitting and overhauling Of

A Republican Senator's Opinion OF
the Native filippinOs.

1t was suggested to Senator Perkins
Of California, the other day, says the
Washington Post. that 500. 900, 900 for
the 10 900, 900 inhabitants of the Philip
pines was equivalent to 50 a head.
well, said the senator, recalling
the days when he was a sailor, Il can
remember the time when | would have
paid 81 900 head for those people-if
somebody had killed them. We were
lying becalmed, he continued, "off
one of the islands of the group when
three junks, manned by Malay pirates.
pulled off from the shore some five or
six miles away. While we waited the
expected attack, the wind came and
filed our tops Is and we managed to
get away
80 you know the Philippines?"
Eyes, indeed, - replied the senator.
II know all about their hurricanes,
which blow $50 miles an hour and spread
ruin and devastation everywhere. |
know all about their foods, for ninety
nine inches of rain fell in Manila during
four months and caused devastation
everywhere. l know all about their
earthquakes. for from the 9th day of
July to the Gath day of August felt a
shock every day, until we finally saw
the cathedral razed TO the ground.
know all about their heat, for the aver
age temperature is S4 degrees, and the
minimum is SO degrees. know all
about their cholera and smallpox and
other diseases. Yes, there are lots of
things | know about the Philippines,
and little or nothing that is good.
"But you ought to appreciate the
advantages of trader
Yes said the senator, "but in
1896 the total exports of the islands
amounted to only little over $50, 900. e
900. The revenue to Spain in that year
aggregated s13, 500, 900, even under
Spanish taxation, and it cost s13. 200, e
900 to collect this revenue, leaving a
net balance of 5000, 900. When you re-
member that it cost us 50, 900, 600 last
year to provide for 1888, 600 Indians in
this country yOu can estimate how
much it will cost us to maintain the
Philippines with no balance from the
islands in our favor. -

vodka in these provinces must
have increased, and that, therefore,
there was no ground for speaking
OF the SOLDERING effects OF the re-
form For it is asked, how comes
it that measure which was to be
directed exclusively for the benefit
of the population, az has been re-
peatedly declared, has proved an
enterprise yielding so large profit
taken from that population, and
moreover at raised rate of excise
duty7"
So far the monopoly has resulted
in a loss Of revenue to the State,
but this may be attributed to inn
perfect organization; Tor it IS con.
hdently anticiDated that when the
system is in full working order
throughout the country, revenue
will increase and intemperance be
checked. Certainly the laudable
efforts Russian statesmen are
making to pr omote sobriety among
the nation are deserving of the
highest success.

0ut to give my signature on a register
at the Office Of the clerk of the court to
overthrow all the proceedings. But
what is it l had sought to obtain? It
was 10 provoke a grand discussion on
question which disturbed the public
conscience, to produce the proof OF the
monstrous illegalIty which had led to an
abominab.e judicial error In February
the discussion was not free. The sole
object ofthe defense was to obtain a
debate, in which my letter as a whole
would be discussed. Ihave not changed

provoke contradiction, to bring the truth
to light. l claimed my right TO prove
the whole of the facts alleged. was
refused a hearing. l demanded an
adjournment to have the point decided
by the Court OF Cessation. The ad.
Journment was refused. The object was
to force me to a restricted debate, in
which could not possibly bring out the
truth. l let judgment go by default.
Prior to giving explanations before a
jury wish to see the Court OF Cessation
pronounce on the only question that is
OF importance to me-my right to pro.

proceedings against Esterhazy on the
complaint of Colonel Picluart have

not yet the right 10 speak before the
court; but OF all these things the Gov.

more allow full debate than NJ. Meline.
The tactics adopted against me were
simple-to serve me with a notice Of the
sentence by default, and force me to
return to Versailles IN a fortnight, to
have my mouth once more closed bv
the brutal phrase, the question shall not
be put Toupset this manoeuvre it was
necessary to arrange so that the process
server of M. BrissOn should not find me
at home when he came to serve me with
the notice. There was no question OF
imprisonment, because a sentence by
default is only provisional. 1t was done
