The favorite excuse Of the imperial
list papers for our indefensible war in
the Philippines is that the people of
those Islands Are ignorant, savage and
uncivilized, and therefore utterly unfit
for self-government And that for this
reason it is the duty of this govern
ment to first beat and shoot them into
submission. and then try to make good
citizens of them.
But the facts do not bear out this
contention. There are proofs in plenty
that among the Filipinos are many
men Of intelligence and honorable
qualities, and that as people they are
as capable of self-government as most
any other people of the world. The
Rt. Rev. Henry U. Potter of New York
City, distinguished bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, in a
signed letter to tho New York Herald,
written from Manila, says:
The most superficial observation will
recognize that the people are agile,
both mentally and physically, and that
the inspiration of pure and noble ex.
amples have enlightened, ordered and
quickened them, and when capital and
enterprise have built railroads and
| factories, opened markets and bound
together the tribal isolations and an
tagonisms in large mutual interests,
large and profitable results are likely
| to follow, so far as commercial sue
| raccae ara rnnaafnad
So Bishop Potter does not find the
Filipinos to be an ignorant, vicious and
degraded people. And that Bishop
Potter is a man of sound sense ano
keen discernmept will not be denied
In the same letter the bishop says:
The Filipinos can be conquered anc
subdued by our armies. They can b,
routed and scattered, so far as theil
military forces are concerned, but thu
instincts of Justice in them cannot bt
extinguished, whether by armies o.
navies. 1t is to be hoped that 1t will
not be the office of the United States t,
attempt to extinguish them.
This people have been robbed anS
oppressed by these who in their wrong
doing have shielded themselves behipt
the highest sanctions. Their lands
which have been taken from them b,
force and fraud, should be restored t
them. The authority Of the Unite,
States should stand for that whicl
must forever be the brightest blazo
upon her escutcheon honesty an,
justice toward the weakest wards Of til
Republic.
Is it not enough that these peopl
, have for years been subjected to rob
berry, outrage and oppression, withou
the government of the United State
adding to the burden of their suffering
and shooting them down because the
aspire to liberty and independence?
As Bishop Potter says, sit is to b
, hoped that it will not be the office {
| the United States to attempt to extiI
} guish Them And yet this is VIII;
) our government is doing, with only tt
r justification that it paid $50, 600, 600
{ Spain for the privilege. Is it not tin
to change our policy? To help the
i liberty-loving people in the establish
, ment of free government, instead

An Associated Press csblegram has
conveyed the sad intelligence Of the
death of Malor-G General Henry W.
Iawton. while at the lead OF his COM
mand in the Philippines. A bullet
from the rifle Of Filipino soldier
struck him in the breast, killing him
instantly.
The death of General Lawton is one
of the most lamentable results of the
cruel and senseless war in the Philip
pines. One life such as his has been
is worth more than every issue involv-
cd, or all the alleged principles that the
advocates of the causeless war can in
woke IN its support. He was brave
soldier, and as soldier died in the
performance of his duty to his govern
ment; in the prosecution of war in
the making of which he had no part
He performed this duty bravely and
uncomplainingly, and what he thought
of the cause into which he was led by
the demands of his duty as soldier,
was expressed some months ago by his
emphatic declaration, this damnable
war.
Our casualties in the Philippine war
thus far amount to total Of between
3, 100 ard 5000 in killed, wounded,
died of disease, captured and missing.
This is fearful price to pay for wal
which in no way involves our nationa
honor, Tut on the contrary largely
tends to our national disoredit. Anc
to this heart-rendine record is added
the death of the brave General Lawton
who deserved a better fate.
Surely We have already paid too deal
a price for our dalliance in the paths o
expansion and imperialism. What cal
we obtain in return that will recon
pense for the sacrifice of men lik
| General Lawton and the many brav
fellows who have gone to their death il
this cruel war?
Is it not time for the Mckinley ad
ministration to call halt, and max
radical change in its costly ant
utterly indefensible war policy?

Philadelphia Times, yesterday.
Skin cat and find a faithless
lover,'' is new love philter recon.
mended by \ rs. Rebecca X. Peters OF
Camden, who claims to be intimate
with the wiles Of the little god and
capable Of subjugating him to her will
This time the novel charm failed to
work and the experimenter,. Miss
Jennie Rooms, an attractive maid OF
Philadelphia, grew angry.
Result: Mrs. Peters has been placed
under $500 bal by Justice Of the
Peace Schmitz to answer 70 the De'
cember court, and Miss Rooms dis
consolately mourns the loss OF mys..
FERROUS Henry and the death OF
Thomas, whose 6lack yelvety skin
was boiled to jelly.
The reason why Thomas met TINS
iqnominious end was explained by MISS
kpons to Justice Schmitz yesterday.
Many weeks ago she met q certain
Henry, whose tall form and genial dis
position completely charmed her; For
time the courtship went smoothly,
but Henry was mysterious. and when
asked about his personal life his brow
clouded and he became silent.
One night about month ago ne leit
N ISIS Rooms house and never returned,
Miss Rooms was perplexed.
She told her secret to friend. Inc
friend was superstitious and advised
hei to seek sEiritualist. Miss hoons
heard of Mrs. Peters and went by
night to her house. The medium was
present, but businesslike, and asked
for 500 before she began 10 pry into
the secrets OF the spirit world. Then,
Miss Rooms says, she advised her amid
incantations to skin black cat anc
boil the body after wards for sever
mornings. She was also to take an lct
water bath and walk of several miles
on the seventh day.
| When the week was up Henry woule
appear.
So strong was her affection that Mis-
| Kcons did all the things that she wa
told to do. At the end of the sever
days she had escaped pneumonia ant
rheumatism, but her lover has not ye
appeared.
Meanwhile someone is bemoaning tn
loss OF black cat.

viii McKiney veto the Gold STANDARD

Will Mckinney veto the Gold Standard
bill when it comes to him from Con-
gless? 1t will be remembered that the
President was one of the original silver
men, and voted for the free coinage Of
silver in 1878. And how afraid he was
TO utter the word gold" during the
greater part OF the campaign of 1896.
However, Mckinley probably knows
considerably more about the sentiment
of the people now than he did then,
and will doubtless swallow his free
silver coinage proclivities and append
his signature to the bill establishing
god as the standard of money in this
country.

JESS 3 JAM Els IN 00URr.


ho was only an Inassutntng WITNESS anu
ATS Presence HAD NO Significance.
Jesse James was a conspicuous figure
in the City Court yesterday. His
presence did not have the significance
which might be imagined, judging
from his name. He is a middle.aged
unassuming colored man, who is in
business in the building adjoining
John McVeigh's barber shop, at
Fourth and Lombard streets, and was
a witness in the case in which Mrs.
Ella Worshong was accused of the
larceny of a sign and other articles
from MoVeigh's barber shop. At Tues
days session Mrs. Woishong said she
found the barber shop open and took
the sign and other articles home to
prevent them from being stolen. James
said Mrs. Worshong carried the sign
off on Monday afternoon, after telling
him that her husband had painted the
sign and had net been paid for it. She
spoke about her husband and McVeigh
being out together having good time
and thought it was strange McVeigh
would go out and leave his snoE open.
The case was dismissed.
Jacob Pryor, colored, was charged
with disorderly conduct Hickman
Laws, the prosecuting witness, did moi
respond when his name was called ano
an attachment was issued for him.
Pryor was discharged.
Howard Gross, colored, was accused
OF assaulting Mary Watson, alst
colorod, at Front and King streets
Tuesday night. She said she was in ;
saloon early in, the evening and Gros
sroke to her. She said she did no
know Gross, but later in the evening
he saw her and assaulted hor withou
provocation. Patrolman Shields anS
Detective Witsil, who were nearby
saw the assault. Gross denied assault
ing the woman, but the latter's fac
was badly disfgured. A witnes
corroborated Gross statement that th
woman made an insulting remarl
toward him Gross was fined $40.
