MORE TROOPS FOR THE PHILIPPINES,

By its refusal to take wise and patri-
otto advice and by listening to the
counsel of greedy spectators who saw
immense and sudden fortunes for them
selves in the annexation of the Philip
pines, the administration has got into
very deep hole through its operations
in that archipelago.
Already there is a demand for so 900
more American troops. For the Fill
pinos, although not to be compared in
fighting ability to our gallant soldiers,
are proving a tougher proposition than
was anticipated. In fact, the real
troubles of the American army will be-
gin when the insurgents take to the
mountains and the deadly rainy season
sets in.
Fifty thousand troops is twice the
size of the entire standing army of the
United States less than two years ago
and the President may have some diff
Guilty in raising them, for while it was
easy to get volunteers to fight Spain,
the national enemy and treacherous de-
stroyer of the Maine, it will not be SO
easy to raise them to go 10000 miles
to Asiatic islands to shoot down an
alien race, of people, who did nothing
under heaven to excite our hostility
and have merely refused to give I'D
their own independence, while, on the
other hand, they gave us much valu-
able assistance in our war with Spain.
as the records show.
The administration knows that its
policy in the Philippines is decidedly
unpopular at home. The American peo-
pie see no reason why the lives of good
American soldiers should be sacrificed
in that deadly climate for the sake of
slaughtering these half civilized people
and wrestling their islands from them
territory we have no use for. And it
will be noted that no sign of enthusi

people greets the news from that quar-
ter, although our gallant boys are do
ing uncomplainingly the work of heroes
against tremendous odds of country
and climate. The reason is, as we
have stated. that the American peo-
pie do not and never did approve the

PLEA FOR DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

A Il.
In a letter to the New York Herald,
published elsewhere, Mr.. 0. H. P. Bel
mont makes a strong and logical plea
for harmony in the national councils of
the Democratic party, which must APP
peal to the good judgment of all intel
ligent men. Mr.. O. H. p Belmont is a
brother of Perry, who had the tilt with
Mr. Bryan over the Jefferson dinner in
vitation, and although not believer in
free coinage, attests his Democracy by
pledging his support to the choice or
the Democratic convention, whether it
be a free coinage man or not. This is
the true Democratic spirit-acquies-
cence in the will of the majority.
1t is the belief of Mr. Belmont, as it
is that OF avery large, if not a predom-
inant, portion Of the Democracy, how
ever. that the currency question will
be of secondary Importance in the COM
ing national campaign and that the one
pressing. great and overshadowing is
sue will be that created by the alarm
ing and enormous growth of trusts en-
couraged by the immunity granted
them under the present national ad-
ministration, which owes its existence
to monopoly Doodle.
Mr.. Belmont's letter is eminently SEN
sible and conservative and will every
where meet the approval of true and
level headed Democrats whose first de-
sire is the success of the party Of the
plain American people.

There is an important difference,

may be also counted upon.
The Dispatch has frequently called the
attention of the public TO the fact that
our parks have not been doing as great a
public service as they are capable Of. This
Is particularly true OF the Reservoir Park.
The city owns about 2G0 acres of land
there. but a very large part of 1t IS un-
used. Much Of the park Is not orna-
mental and not useful. The most beauti-
full portion Of the grounds-down by the
river side-is little frequented by the gene
raj public. Those who are fortunate
enough 10 be the owners of vehicles some
times drive there: but the mass of people
who visis the reservoir grounds go in the
street-cars and few OF them care TO toll

devised and put into execution to enable

Objection may be raised that such an
extension OF the street-car tracks would
mar the beauty OF the grounds. But
