via the Southern Railway, a gentleman
who stands at the head of a certain select,

gentleman moreover, who has been hon

His highness did not leave the train at
the station-in fact, he was met about
Tenth and b streets southwest by a rep
resentatlbe of the district government.
Every care was taken that he should be
protected, and special conveyance car
ried him to his hotel There he spent
the night attended with assiduous care
both by the representatives of the Capital
city and the members of the local contin-
gent of his friends, subjects, and follow
ers. On Thursday morning his highnsss
arose early, made his toilet and was CON
veyed in a handsome conveyance, drawn
by tMo spanking horses, to one of the
most important of the public buildings in
the national capital, where court was
held.
The levee was unusually well attended.
and his highness with due ceremony car
ried out the eXacting role which he was
called upon TO play After the adjourn
ment of court his highness, in cornpany
with many of his most distinguished ana
devoted subjects, took a short drive out IA
one OF his castles, situated in a suburb of
Washington, and will remain in retirement
there during the rest of the season.

PATRIOTISM M.

Written for the Evening Star by Amelia
Woodward Truesdell.
What is it, this force that impels us.
Which masters our sense and our will
That startles our uttermost thrill
With the sting of subtle thrill
When the flag is unfurled?
The throb which strains at our heart
chords,
This might that is greater than love-
Til the tenderest woman caresses
The eagle instead of the dove,
When the flag is assailed?
For which men yield their blood in the
trenches,
Accept fever and famine and pain?
Whose ineffable peace to the dying
Is smile on the lips of the slain.
When the flag has been served?
That we call it patriot ardor"
Is jingle of idle sound;
But the thing itself-what is it,
Holding flesh and spirit bound
Which the flag inspires?
As holy as fire from the altar,
AS high as prophetic thought,
As deep as eternity's spaces,
From Gods mind into ours is 1t
wrought.
This power of the flag.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-15

OF interrogatories designed simply TO
becloud and obscure the issue. With
those who object to Mr.. McKnleys pol
icy, the precise status of the Aguinaldo
government is matter of small con-
| Germ. Equally so are the questions
whether there is any enrolment or suf
frage or any kind of a government
| there. The point they make is that the
Filipino people should have an oppor-
tunity to establish some kind of a gov
eminent, and that If they have any
rights, such rights cannot be justly
taken from them by reason of Aguinal-
dos shortcomings.
Then come the questions whether Ma
son approves the treaty with Spain
whereby we acquired the sovereignty
of the Philippines" whether President
Mckinley is not bound to maintain
that sovereignty until otherwise direct
ed by congress" can any power but
congress make the Philippines a col
ony,' has any power but congress the
right to surrender our sovereignty" and
has President Mckinley any right to
forestall the action of congress-" In all
of these Mr.. Chandler begs the question
He knows that the treaty with Spain
was supported by some of the senators
| upon the theory that the question of our
assumption of absolute sovereignty over
| the islands was left open, and that the
great objection to Mr.. McKinley's
course is that he has sought to fore
| stall the action of congress- by estab-
| fishing a policy of his own.
Nothing could be more certain than
| that there would be serious trouble with
| the natives of the islands unless they
were given some assurance that at some
| time they might hope for some kind of
| government of their own. 1t was a
| grave situa tion-perhaps the gravest
| since the civil war. There was nothing
| to prevent the president from holding
congress together and taking it's ad-
vice. But he didn't want any advice
from that quarter. He knew that there
were radical differences in his own
party, even among his nominal sup
porters, upon the question of how the
Filipinos should be treated. So he got
rid of congress, gave the treaty his own
| Interpretation and issued a procama
| ton claiming the islands in perpetuity
by right of conquest and purchase. He
| knew that fighting would Immediately
| follow, but he thought that the Fill
| pinos could be quickly and easily beaten
and that all the glory would be his
This is the policy that Mr.. Mason and
| others are criticising and no amount
of pettifogging will be permitted to OBJ
scure it.

Something Lacking.

~ NE expression in Secretary Hays
" letter to Chairman Dick of the
Ohio republican executive com
mittee merits especial considera ton.
The secretary says: TT has never en-
tered into the mind of the president to
forsake under any inducement the wise
precept and example of the fathers
which forbade entangling alliances
with European powers"
Imagine George Washington or Abra-
ham Lincoln finding it necessary to
send his secretary of state into the
public prints with such a disclaimer as
that. The very fact that it is made
proves that there is something in the
situation at least tending to justify the
suspicion that it is sought to allay.
Either this or it is another evidence of
that weakness of character in McKin-
ley which makes the attempt to put him
in the Washington and Lincoln class
nothing short of ridiculous.
strong man, innocent of the charge
and conscious of the rectitude of his
motives, would have waited for time to
vindicate him. But in this case Mr.
Mckinley evidently feared that time
would not work the vindication quickly
enough to help him out in the Ohio
election. So he takes old time by the
forelock and by the aid of his secretary
attempts to vindicate himself.
This, however, is not the particular
point. How much worse would it be
for Mr. Mckinley to "forsake the wise
precept and example of the fathers
with respect to entangling alliances
than it is to forsake their precept, ex-
ample and avowed principles concern
ing any other matter equally import
ant? What does Mr.. Hay think he
fathers" would have said about the
policy of establishing colonial empire
in the Asiatic hemisphere policy that
sooner or later will force us into the
most difficult and perplexing interna-
tional problems. and in all human prob
ability make an alliance of some kind
at some time an imperative necessity?
How does Mr.. Hay think that the
general principle of imperialism, as now
being urged, squares with the wise
precepts and example of the fathers p"
| How much worse it is or would it be
for US to enter into an alliance with
England or some other power than it
is to deny those great principles of hu-
man rights laid down by the united
voice of all the fathers" in congress
assembled that governments derive
| their just powers from the consent Of
| the governed and that taxation with
| out representation is tyranny"
| If Mr.. Hay had explained these mat
tiers his letter would have been more
interesting and, perhaps, more instruct
i've. But it was not his purpose to give
the letter either of these qualities. He
was simply looking after the Ohio cleo
| ton.

Mr., Chandler to the Rescue.

IN his position upon the presidents
Philippine policy Senator Chandler
is more consistent, perhaps, but less
logical, than he is in dealing with the
money question. His reasons for sup
porting that policy are clearly indi-
Gated by his fifteen questions to Sena-
tor Mason, and if Breezy Billy cannot
dispose of them in short order, he is
endowed with less ability than he is
generally thought to possess Most of
the questions have no actual bearing
upon the main issue, and those that
touch it at all present it with an I'M
fairness hardly to be expected from Mr..
Chandler.
Take, for example, his first question:
DO you approve of Admiral Dewey's
conduct in going from Hong Kong with
his fleet and destroying the Spanish
fleet in Manila bay?" 1t would be diff
cult to find an American who does not
love and admire Admiral Dewey for
that most splendid and heroic act. It
was a necessary and proper thing for
him to do in breaking the power of
country to an end, but it has nothing
whatever to do with the uestion as to
what should be the subsequent status
of the Filipino people.
Then Mr.. Chandler wants to know if
Dewey should have sailed away after
troops to be landed at Manila and for
them to seize the water works He
might just as well have asked if Mr..
Mason believed the Bible.
Next Mr.. Chandler asks: DO you
approve of the successive advances Of
our troops after hostilities began in
Luzon?" Here he ingeniously endeav-
| ors to put Mr.. Mason in a position of
| antagonism to those soldiers who have
shown so much of heroism upon the
various battlefelds in the Philippines,
but the question has no more real per-
tnency than the ones previously quoted
Mr.. Mason can very easily and properly
| answer that he stands by the American
| soldier always, while opposing the pol
| ICY which brought their magnificent
| fighting qualities into full display.
Next comes the query whether Mr.
Mason would shortly withdraw our
troops from the islands. and if he would
deliver possession to Aguinaldo? Oppo-
| sition to the policy of Mr. Mckinley
does not involve either proposition.
In his seventh question, Mr.. Chan
| dler INDUCES in a bit of special plead
| ing which reflects little credit upon him.
! He asks: Are Aguinaldo and his i'm
| mediate associates at the head of any
government entitled to recognition by
us? Is there any monarchy there? Is
there any republic there? Is there any
enrolment of voters there? Is there
any suffrage there? Is there any gov
eminent there representing the whole
or larger part of the people there? If
SO. describe it," Here we have series

TWELVE PAGES.
1t Is Grossly Unjust.

~ NE trouble with the newspaper
" interview business is that it per-
mits representative men to give
publicity to views which are in no sense
faithful reflection of the opinions held
by the constituents whom, in public
life, these men represent.
For instance, some of the neWspapers
have taken notice of the talk in which
Senator Carter recently set forth his
bargain-counter estimate of the Philip
pine situation. I'VE are going to deal
with this situation said Mr.. Carter,
''on the basis of dollars and cents.
Neither religion nor sentiment will have
much influence in determining the YER
dict. The great question will be, VIII
it pay? If we can show the country
that it will, as ] think we can, the
American flag will never come down
from the Philippines"
1t is all very we'll for Mr.. Carter TO
fly this style of flag as long as the pub
lie distinctly understands that he is
speaking for himself and not for Mon
tana, The unfortunate fact is that a
that the people of this state think as
Mr.. Carter talks. Yesterdays mail
brought several samples in illustration.
Here, for instance, is the comment of
one of them out in Montana, if SEN
ator Carter represents the people of
that section, the stars and stripes
stand for mere commercialism, and the
only device which should appear on the
flag is the dollar mark"
The bare quoting of these words is
enough TO put before the Montana pub
lie. The imputation they carry is GRIM
inally unjust, yet in eastern newspaper
offices the inference naturally is that
Mr.. Carter, in his newspaper interview,
gives voice to the opinion held by the
state which he represents in the federal
senate. Yet Mr.. Carriers words are the
grossest possible Misrepresentation of
opinion in Montana respecting the es-
sential phases of the Philippine ques-
ton
