It will do to take the cable reports from the Philippines with degree of allowance. It must be remem bered that these reports pass through the hands of a censor, and altogether the position of the Amer iean army may not be so =roseate as the press reports you'd picture it. We are told of one brilliant" vic tory after another, and of great slaughter among the Filipinos, yet no decisive engagement has been fought and so far the natives have managed to escape the traps set for their capture. All we do know or can know at present is that Amer5- can soldiers afe being killed in ga islaod that half the people in the United States did not know two years ago was in existence and that American soldiers are being killed in wanton foreign war of conquest in consequence of the grasping greed and imperiaIistic policy of the present administration.

NOT A SELF-MADE MAN.

At the Christmas entertainment at
the Industrial Home in Cleveland, Sen
ator Marcus Auriferous Hanna partici-
pated, delivering an address from the
stage on which was large portrait Of
President Mckinley. Speaking to his
audience of poor boys Boss Hanna said,
by way Of illustrating the possibilities
of American citizenship, that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had started in life a poor boy,
as poor as any of those present.
But, his imperial boss-ship neglected
to add that Mr. Mckinley was still poor,
many thousands of dollars poorer than
nothing, but a few years ago when the
Hanna syndicate took hold of him, paid
his debts, put him on his feet and then
groomed him for the presidency, where
he has since served the purposes of said
syndicate.
Hanna's illustration of a self-made
man is spoiled by the facts. President
Mckinley is a Hanna-made man.

a steamer leaving at daylight in the morn-
ing. This has not yet been made public,
but think the time has now arrived when
reserve is no longer justidable, after this
shameful treatment OF the Filipinos by the
Americans. 1t is no use to argue that
Dewey had no authority, because from the
State documents lately published, we learn
that Dewey had instructions to use his
discretion, and agreeably with this dscre-
ton HE BROUGHT BACK AGUINALDO
TO LUZON UNDER THE PROMISE OF
INDEPENDENCE, WHILST CONSUL
WILDMAN OF HONG KONG. SUP
Piled HIM WITH SEVERAL CARGOES
OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION. No
amount of official or diplomatic denial can
alter these facts.
"HOWARD w. BRAY"
The facts as outlined thus succinctly
by Mr.. Bray, who. as STATED, was the
interpreter at the meetings with Agu-
inaldo, are borne out by the public doc
uments of which he speaks, which are
too detailed and voluminous to admit
of their being quoted in these columns,
the most important of these being Sen
ate Document 62, Part 1, 55th Congress,
Sd Session. Mr.. Bray is described by
Consul General Pratt in report to the
State Department at Washington as
IAN English gentleman of high stand
ing, who, after fifteen years residence
as a merchant and planter in the Phil
ippines, had been compelled by the
disturbed condition of things resulting
from Spanish misrule to abandon his
property and leave there. and from
whom I had previously obtained much
valuable information for Commodore
Dewey regarding Notifications, coal de-
posits, etc., at different points in the
islands"
In addition to the statements of the
American Representatives at Hong Kong
and Singapore in the public documents
mentioned our correspondent may gain
fund of information on this important
subject from the correspondence of the
American military representatives at
Manila, previous to the establishment
by Mr. Mckinley of the Otis censor
ship, which has since cut off all rell-
able information and furnished the
country only false or distorted news.
1t is a subject which every American
regardless of partisan political cons1d-
erations, who is interested in the
preservation and upholding of Ameri-
can institutions and honor in our
relations with the world at large, should
carefully inform himself upon by per-
sonal investigation as far as possible.

THE SOUTH AND "EXPANSION."

Imperial organs just now are making
a great deal of capital for the imperial
policy by loud mouthed statements Of
how advantageous expansion will be
to the South because of the Increased
trade with the world abroad it is al
legged it will bring, and we regret to
note that certain Southern men and
journals that ought to be bette bal
anced in their Americanism and bet
ter posted as to the subject under dis
cussion from a Southern trade point
of view are inclined to swallow the
imperial bait whole.
If these Southern people had read
the resolutions introduced in Con-
gress by Southern members and which
formulate the Democratic policy in OPP
position to the imperial policy of the
administration, they would not be so
easily misled by the specious pleading
and falsehood of the imperial advo-
Gates
In opposing the imperial policy and
the vast and permanent military bur-
den it will saddle upon the American
people the Democracy do not propose
to relinquish one iota of advantage to
American trade that has been acquired
through Dewey's victory in Manila bay.
On the other hand, while retaining ev-
cry possible advantage from trade
point of view that the most thorough
cratic policy proposes simply to do
away with its burdens and un-Ameri-
can features. While providing for Fill
ipino independence, as we promise in
dependence to the Cubans, under a ten
year American protectorate, the De-
mocracy demand in return every trade
advantage that the most complete own
ership of the Philippines archipelago
could give us, namely, ample coaling,
naval and supply stations and free &C
cess to all Philippines ports for Ameri-
can trade.
What more does Imperialism prom
Use to American trade?
Nothing
But the imperial policy will place
many more burdens on the back of the
American taxpayer in the shape of a
vast colonial empire to maintain which
will necessitate the establishment of
probably the largest standing army in
the world and the adoption of policies
and methods totally at variance with
American ideals, institutions, foreign
policy and the Constitution. by strict
adherence to which we have grown
