THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Not enough attention has been paid to cleo
tons this season. The spring openings in pol
itlcs. as in millinery. usually afford an outlet
for vagares and novelties without giving much
indication of the substantial business of the
year City elections in the spring are often
chosen as an opportunity to break objection
able rings, to turn down officials found want
ing, and 10 settle many local affairs which
cannot we'll be handled when Congressional or
voters. But this year, together with some
singular manifestations Of independence. there
has been perceptible drift toward the Repub-
lcan party. Cities and towns not accustomed
to Republican rule have in considerable num-
ber given Republicans the preference. Demo
cratic successes have been frequently achieved,
as in Chicago, by defeat of the Democratic
force most nearly In harmony with the National
party. and by the aid Of many thousand Re-
publicans but in numerous cities Of Ohio, and
especially of New-Jersey at the elections on
Tuesday, the steadily increasing Republican
strength has won unexpected victories.
A general conclusion which seems warranted
by the elections this spring Is that the drift or
public opinion against the Republican party
and its policy, for which It's opponents have
waited with more predictions than patience,
does not yet come Instead there continues the
same steady tendency Of public opinion In favor
of that party which brought about last fall.
even at the halfway election OF n Presidential
term, remarkable Republican gains. The no

TprTE AROUT THE PHILIPPINES.

Men and women who pose as Christian philan-
thropists need to remember that it is not Chris
tan to tell falsehood nor to suppress essential
truths 1t is rather hard TO credit with much
virtue persons who talk IN print about tine
"wapton and inexcusable slaughter OF FiDpinos
"who are fighting for their rights" If Ameri-
cans protesting superior integrity and intelll-
rence can utter such stuff Aguinaldo in his
darkness cannot be blamed for even the most
plaring untruths. No fact can be better es-
tablished than this. that his force deliberately
began the fighting by an attack on the Ameri-
can forces which had for months been scrupu-
lously held back from any aggressive move
meut. Nor is there any fact in the whole his
tory OF the Philippines more clearly established
than that the insurrectionary organization OF
Tacals about Manila was detested by the in
babitants Of the populous and cultivated Visa
van Islands and was without support of the in
habitants In other Philippine islands, or even
in the southern part of Luzon. II was mere
attempt of a small minority Of one race 10
usurp despotic power over all the rest OF the
Inhabitants. and this some persons processing
Christian philanthropy call fighting for their
rights"
The American course throughout this diff
entity has been one forced upon the Govern
ment Spain having chosen war, Admiral
Dewey was ordered to defend the Pacific Coast
OF this country by destroying the Spanish feet
in the Pacific He was forced TO go somewhere
because excluded from Hong Kong and other
neutral ports, and without any base OF sup
plies nearer than San Francisco. He found the
Spanish feet at Manila. destroyed II, and was
then forced 70 hold the port as bis base. and to
remain there because he could not have retired
10 any neutral port for supplies. Holding the
nort. he cut of the Spanish general In COM
mand from communication with other islands
az the group. and held them all at his mercy,
hut could not afford that protection TO life and
pronerty in Manila which international law
required from the United States until sum
Gent army was sent to effect landing. Then
the United States took possession OF Manlla'
established order there. and held the place
awaiting the completion Of treaty OF peace
Up TO this point there was nothing which the
Tinted States could have done less or other
than II did, unless IT had recognized the small
Tagal minority as entitled TO usurp despotc
power over the rest OF the millions inhaDlung
the Philippine Islands. That would have been
n crime OF the most shameless sort. This Ma
tion was bound to give Manila protection and
order and therefore to exclude the insurgents
who wanted 10 loot the place. But 1t took no
aggressive step against them, and did not even
drive them away from the immediate vicinity
cf Manila as merely in self-defence 1t had
right TO DO. but waited the completion OF the
treaty. Then Aguinaldo, encouraged by the
