NEEDED Attic COURT HOUSE

To every one who goes to the court

People go to the court house from

Tuesday of this week we met two
friends on the main street of the town
looking for well or a pumpt at which
they might get drink OF water. We
told them they would haye to 20 into

Now, The COMMONWEALTH believes
that, inasmuch as there is 10 public

commissioners ought to make reason
able expenditure from the county
funds in order that the people of the !
county may be able to get cool drink |
OF water when they are at the court

We do not wish to be understood az
advocating any unnecessary expense in
the county or any unwarranted dis
bursements OF the county's funds
but we believe every citizen of the
county would commend the county
commissioners In any reasonable ex-
pense for well in the court yard.
The weather is getting warm and
man and beast both need water when
they go through sun and dust and i
fatigue to the court house and the {
people will be glad to find a good well

SENATOR HALE'S STATEMENT.
He Claims That the Treaty Framers
Are Responsible.

Senator Hale today gave out his impress
sion concerning the effect of the battle of
Manila on the peace treaty. He said: Il
am not surprised al the occurrence If the
treaty had been made as it ought to have
been made, putting the Philippines on the
same basis Cuba, no trouble would have
arisen, if the managers of the treaty
had consented to amendment this
line there would have been no trouble of
this kind. Or, still further, if they had
agreed to the passage of a joint resolution
declaring that Congress did not expect per
manent occupation trouble would have been
avoided. But the truth is that underneath
the expansion newspapers and back of the
movements of the leaders of the expansion
cause lies the determination to be content
with nothing but permanent annexation.
This means a prOracted war of subjuga-
tion against the people Of the Philippine
Islands. The ratification of the treaty
means, not peace, but immediate war. We
must send more troops and more ships to
Manila and must undertake the immense
job OF conquering the people who are try
ing to establish a government of their own.
Some Of Us have warned the expansion
lists against this from the beginning. and
We have fOreSoen the consequences OF re
fusal to accept the warning. l am very
sorry that the trouble has come about but
Is WAS inevitable from the day that our
commissioners to the Paris conference de-
manded of Spain the Cession Of the Philip
pines to the United States. instead of ask
ing her to abandon her own sovereignty
and leave the matter Of TIE government of
those islands to the inhabitants of them,
in the case of Cuba.
The battle ought to have the effect of
making men think twice before going an
other step in course that involves all the
evils / have alluded to. Ratiiica ton means
annexation, and annexation means war.
Referring to an alleged dispatch from
Augusta, Me, printed in i Washington pa
per, asserting that letters and telegrams
have been sent to me, urging me to vote
for the treaty. | would say that there is no
foundation whatever for the statements
therein made. In all the letters ! have re-
CeiEed from Maine, numbering perhaps 100
in the last few days. only TWO nave urged
me to vote for the treaty. The rest have
all recommended a contrary course. Gov
ernor Powers wrote me ten days ago favor
ing ratification. but he has not telegraphed
me IS represented nor have ! heard any
thing from Mr.. Manly or DIR. Hill who are
represented to have wired me in the inter
est of the treaty. The dispatch bears evil
dencc Of having been made, not in Augusta
but in Washington"
Mr. Hale said further that lie had not
charged his attitude toward She treaty and
he did not think there could be any doubt
To how his vote would he cast on the
ratification resolution.
