berate throughout the country. 1t most
signally showed where the Democracy

must have opened the eyes Of the blind

sympathy to the enemies Of the country.
In arms against its authority and doing
their utmost TO kill and destroy brave
American soldiery. No gentler term
than treason win At the case OF the
traitors who participated In that infa-
nous Cooper Union meeting.
What did these reckless and noisy
copperheads do? They condemned the
acts OF the president and declared that
1.-The war against the Philippines Is a
grossly immoral assault on American
principles Of government and q brutal
attempt TO crush a weak people," Does
not that astounding assertion give aid
and comfort TO the enemy? John p
Aitgeld said that 'peaceable and indus
trious men are being shot down by the
government OF the United States for no
other cause than that of aspiring for
freedom" The plain duty Of the Ameri-
can soldier. then. would appear to be to
suffer himself to be shot down by the
yirtuous Fiiipinos. or confess ourselves
towards and get out Of the islands,
which are ours. and permit them to pill
lage, rob. murder and ravish the Euro
pean. American and native inhabitants,
and any hostile tribes, without let or
hindrance. Congressman Lentz. II

said: IF you murder AEuinaido. you
will have destroyed one OF the heroes OF
the world" Fit reply TO the extravagant
Orleans sediiious eulogy was given by
Hon. John Barrett. In Seattle, when he
showed how Aguinaldo sold out his
