MhiteIaW Reid is Rinht.

Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New
York Tribune, does not hesitate to
speak right out in meetin'" on the
Philippine question. He attended re-
Gently a banquet given to President
Harper, of the Chicago university, at
the University club in San Francisco,
and when called upon to speak, put
hot shot into the anti-imperialist camp
without mincing words at all.
The man who, in the face of the
present duty of the United States,
would advocate a neglect of hat duty,
is a coward and a shirker. l am amazed
that there should be any discordant
note to the governments intention to
retain the Philippines. Neither Presi-
dent Mckinley nor any one else framed
any policy concerning the Philippines.
They came to us as a natural sequence
of our striking Spain in her most vul-
nerable point. There are 300, 900, 900 peo-
pie who have been sleeping in China for
the last thousand years who are just
about to awaken. Whatever may hap
pen in the history of that mighty peo-
pie across the Pacific, without %outposts
located as they have been as a result
of the Spanish war, we are in a posi-
ton to command the great bulk of the
immense commerce that is to be the re-
suit of the awakening of China"
The above is Strictly trWe, and is 1.-The
facts in the case in a nutshell There
is surely to be a mighty awakening / n
that great hive of industry called the
Chinese empire; European nations rec
ognize it, and are e%ntrenching them
selves nearby, where they can taxi the
earliest advantages Of changing politi-
cal conditions, so hat when the read
justment comes they will be on hand
to enter the new commercial fields with
out any delay. The United States does
not propose to be left in this COMPETE
ton, particularly as Providence has
expected opportunities, for the Philip
pines are right at the gates of the great
Asiatic ports, and in just the position
for use as a basis of American opera
tions when the coming great politico-
economic kaleidoscope begins to turn.
And yet, there are political somnambu-
lists in this country like Charles Fran
els Adams. Edward Atkinson, Andrew
Carnegie, Professor Sumner, Samuel
Gompers, w. Bourke Cochran, John
Sherman, Carl Schurtz, DR.. Parkhurst,
and others, who dream that the mere
idea of fighting for an independence, en-
tirely aside from the slightest qualifica-
ton for such a condition, at once lifts
the most ignorant aspirants up to the
same mental level with intelligent and
cultivated men. 1t will be next in or
der for Harvard university to decorate
Aguinaldo, Agoncillo, Lopez and other
prominent and genial Tagalos with the
doctorate of letters, and welcome them
to all the alumni dinners hereafter.

The p~raiseworthy works of the Red
Cross have not ceased with the Span
ish-American war. The noble women
engaged in succoring suffering human
ity have been making herculean efforts
to relieve the starving peasants in east
ern European Russia, where there is a
far-reaching famine in progress. The
horrors of actual starvation have been
averted by the Red Cross people, but
the society's funds are well-nigh ex-
hausted, and the peasantry are falling
quick victims to typhus, scurvy and
other pestilential diseases. The govern
ment has been appealed to by the So
ciety, and unless assistance is forth
coming shortly the Volga provinces will
witness a repetition Of the terrible
scenes of 1891 and 1892.

Helen Gould is fast becoming the pride
of the American people for her many
acts of practical charity and thoughtful
sympathy, which have made the Amer
lean heart warm toward her, as it has
toward Clara Barton, Frances Willard
and other noble and self-sacrificing
women. So it is with feelings of hearty
approval that the public learns of the
compliment paid Miss Gould by the
New York fire commissioners in pre-
senting her with a badge which will ad-
nit her within the fire lines at any time,
in acknowledgement of her services
during the Windsor hotel fire. Miss
Gould's noble conduct during the war
with Spain will lever be forgotten, and
her nam has been rendered dear to the
American soldier for her devotion to the
cause of humanity in hospital work. 1t
seems queer that with such a remark
able example living right among them,
other rich women in New York's up
pertendom do not do something them
selves along her line of noble effort. But
in all this righteous endeavor and prac-
teal Christianity, Miss Gould is only
following in the footsteps of her moth
er. Mrs. Gould was an earnest Chris
tan woman and a power for good in
the Presbyterian church. She was a
good Samaritan, and never failed to
improve an opportunity to put her mon
ey where it would do the most good for
~humanity's sake, only she was very
quiet about it, and adhered as far as
possible to the injunction, Let not thy
right hand know what thy left hand
doeth." Miss Gould is accomplishing
a vast deal Of good with her money, and
her name will be gratefully remember
ed by countless recipients of her gen
erous bounty.

Senatorial Elections.

The scandals connected with the re-
cent senatorial elections continue to be
brought up unpleasantly in a very un-
aromatic way under the public nose. In
Delaware the three Democrats who vot-
ed for Addicks have been denounced by
the Democratic state central committee,
and requested to vacate their legislative
in vain, during the session, to save their
political honor and return to their party
lines, and after adjournment, these rec
reants actually became the object of
public execration, the odium extending
even to the ostracising of their fami-
lies. The trio claim the sole desire that
actuated them was to keep open the
Republican breach, but this explanation
does no work. Actual bribery may not
be legally proven against these men,
but then it is not always necessary to
adduce legal proof to produce moral
conviction. A Democratic legislator in
Pennsylvania has Deer accused by his
colleagues of bribery in supporting the
proposed jury law, which would have
been favorable to Senator Quay's suit
now pending against him. This brill
liant legislator tries to bluff the charge
off by alleging he was only in fun; but
his explanation finds no serious accept
ance. The investigating committee of
the Utah legislature finds that a great
deal of money was expended in the sem
atorial contest, but there was nothing to
show that the millionaire candidate was
the one who pulled the spigot of the
barrel. Altogether, it is a nasty, i'm
moral mess, made worse by direct
charges Of Montana Democrats that the
successful candidates from their state
was chosen by the most unblushing
bribery. The argument in favor of
state election at large for United States
senators is weekly gaining strength.

The view recently expressed by
of Juarez, in a recently published Off
cial communication with Washington,
that the United States would continue
to be threatened by smallpox as long as
is undoubtedly correct. The Mexicans
are fatalists as to smallpox, and will do
nothing toward suppressing it unless
compelled by force. Even in the border
towns the local authorities were utterly
Indifferent until the radical stand taken
on the American side relative to quar-
antine and non-intercourse between the
two sides of the river, compelled the
Mexican authorities to do something.
The travel from the United States into
the republic is increasing every year,
and tourists are not over particular
about where they go in ~rummaging over
Mexican towns. The result is, they I'M
consciously come in contact with small
pox germs, which they bring back to
this country, and these are then scat
tered far and wide. Unless the Mexican
government will take some means to
handle this disease, quarantine meas
ures may have to be resorted to on this
side of the border that will prove very
distasteful to travellers and persons
having business between the two coun-
tries.

A LIE That Had TO Be Nailed.

The following is taken from the col
umns Of the Las Vegas Optic:
1T is current report, and believed to
be true, that a deal was made during
the last days of the late somewhat ia
nous general assembly, when the pub
lie land bills, etc, were under consider
alton, whereby the Santa Fe Daily New
Mexican changes hands ana passes to a
syndicate composed of FL Paso and
Northeastern railway attaches. The
deal was ~consummated by w. A, Haw-
kins, attorney of the above named road,
and the paper will be edited by Mr..
HaN kins' brother, who will arrive from
California, with his assistants, about
the list of the month, when the change
is to be made, Max Frost retiring"
This statement is in keeping with the
general course of that paper; it is alb
solutely untrue in every particular and
word. OF course, truth cannot be eX-
pected from an ryan of the corrupt
and thieving Union party gang in San
Miguel county. That is entirely out Of
the question.
The f~alsehoods contained in the OPP
tics statement are based simply upon
the chance hat Mr.. j. w. Hawkins,
formerly connected with the Eddy Ar
gus, and with the Ell Paso Daily Her.
aid, as managing editor, may accept a
position on the editorial force of this
journal; and this is not yet a certainty.
The New MeXican's aggressive and
public spirited policy will keep on doing
its good work for the people. The tax
thieves and corrupt ex-officials of San
Miguel county, who control our more or
less esteemed contemporary in Las Ve-
gas, were taught, to their sorrow, dur
ing the last campaign, what the New
Mexican can do when it makes a fight,
and they may rest assured hat they
are not through yet, and if officers of
the law and juries will do their duty,
their corrupt, dishonest and shameful
conduct and crimes, as officials and as
citizens. will be punished in due course,
as of right, in justice and in law. they
ought to be.

that the people of the new county are

Otero. This is gratifying, as the people

men possible. The future, in the opinion
of this journal, will prove that he did
right in every instance.

It is absolutely useless to expect .
surgical operation to cure cancer, o,

of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re.
suit from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.
