Something like 100 of the California
soldiers just returned from the Philip
pines have been interviewed by cor
respondents of the New York World.
They are practically unanimous In the
opinion that the islands are not worth
fighting for. Nine out of every 10
soldiers who were sent to Manila. said
one of them, condemn the policy that
has involved this country in war with
the natives" Nearly all speak of the
intolerable climate and say they would
not go back there again under any con-
siderations. They also express bitter
feelings against Gen. Otis.
These interviews are presumably repre-
sentative. If they were not, the many
soldiers holding opposite opinions would
not be ignored by the imperialist news
papers. The fact has been made clear
that the volunteers are returning from
Manila convinced almost to a man of the
folly of the whole annexation business,
and feeling bitterly over the uses they
have been put to against their wills. As
these men scatter about through the
West, they must affect public opinion
there materially.

The French promoters of the Paris
Exposition of 1900 evidently have
profited by the example set at the
Chicago Worlds Fair. 1t is proposed to
sell concessions to tradespeople in the
fair grounds which will permit them to
charge exorbtant rates for their com.
modties. They reckon on S250,0OO 900
as the sum that will be spent in Paris by
the foreign visitors, and they will do
their part toward realizing the figure.
Americans should double their estimated
expenditures, to be safe.

burlington II rec lIcse
Among the results of the expansion of
the United States over the Philippine
archipelago will evidently have to be
some changes in the constitution of the
United States. That document now
declares that "neither slavery nor in
voluntary servtude, except as punish.
ment for crime. whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any
place subject to their Jurisdiction" But
the treaty recently negotiated by Gen.
Bates with the Sultan of Sulu, provides
that the domestic Institutions" of the
Moros shall not be disturbed. One of
the domestic institutions of Moros is
polygamy and another is slavery. They
are Mohamnedans with whom plurality
of wives is lawful, and they hold slaves
by birth, and slaves made such by con-
quest.
Prof. Dean c. Worcester of the Philip
pine commission In his "Philippine Is
lands" says: "We found that the slave
business still flourishes in Tawi Tawi.
Girls of fifteen years were valued at three
cabans (about five bushels) of rice. One
was offered to US at Tataan for three dol
lars in cash" The treaty stipulates that
these aud other domestic Institutions of
the Moros shall not be disturbed. The
treaty in fact expressly recognizes the
existence of slavery by providing that
slaves may be permitted to buy their
freedom. SO now we have the aEomal-
Gus situation that slavery exists and is
formally recognized in place which the
United States claims to be subject to its
jurisdiction In the face of distinct pro-
vision of the United States constitution,
forbiddng the existence of slavery in any
place subject TO its jurisdiction. Clearly
the constitution must be changed.

In his speech at Ocean Grove Mr.. Nc
Kinley gave this brief definition of what
he called 1.-The Presidents policy in con-
nection with the Philippines -
Peace first, then, with charity for all,
establish government of law and order,
protecting life and property, and occupa-
ton for the well-being of the people-a
government in which they shall partici-
pate under the Stars and Stripes.
He prefaced this declaration with the
assertion that "our flag does not mean
one thing in the United States and an
other thing in the Philippines"
Our flag in the United States means
government Of the people, by the
people, for the people" Does it mean
this in the Philippines?
At home our flag means government
with the consent of the governed" Are
we asking the consent of the Filipinos to
establish government for them, as
the President puts it:
AT home our flag means mo taxation
without representation. Mr.. Mckinley
purposes to tax the Fiipnos. Does he
mean 70 give them representation in our
congress:
AT home our flag means the supremacy
of the civil over the military power,
VIII it signify any such thing in the
Philippines for years to come, even after
the inhabitants have been subiugated;
The most that "the Presidents policy
promises, after "OccupatiOn" by our
forces, is government established by
him, through military power, in which
the inhabitants shall participate under
the Stars and Stripes"
However benevolent and beneficent
this sort of government for the FilIpnos
may be, it Is not the sort of government
that our flag means In the United States /;
it Is not form of government recOg-
nized in our constitution; it is not a
government established or authorized by
congress, but is direc' ~ contrary 10 the
letter and spirit of the resC luton adopted
by the senate after the ratification of the
treaty with Spain.
II is in fact military satrapy that Mr..
Mckinley proposes-government by
proclamation.

Daring the past week the social events
at Bread Loaf have followed close upon
each other. beginning with a most de-

was participated in by over twenty-five
of the guests of the Inn.
Saturday evening Mrs. Allis gave a
most charming progressive euchre party.
Handsome prizes were awarded to the
successful participants.
On Sunday morning, divine service
was conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Curtis
of Baltimore, and the guests of the Inn
were more than delighted in having an
opportunity of hearing one of his strong
and impressive sermons. During the
oflertory Miss Sarah King Peck sang a
solo.
Monday evening the Inn was favored
by the Hampton Institute graduates.
who rendered plantation melodies, and
with the aid Of a stereOpticon gave a
most instructive discourse upon the
work which the institute is carrying on
among the poorer class of negroes and
Indians in the south and west. Gen.
Armstrong, who was the founder of
Hampton Institute. spent the last sum-
mer of his life at Bread Loaf, and this
incident suggested to some of the ladies'
of the Inn that If it were possible it
would be most commendable to establish
at the institute scholarship to be known
as the Bread Loaf Inn scholarship. When
the guests of the Inn heard of this pro-
iect, they heartily responded, so that
enough money was raised not only to
establish one scholarship but two-one
In the academic and one in the industrial
department.
After this entertainment Miss Peck
gave Welsh rarebit party to some of
the younger members of the Inn, which
was one of the most enjoyable affairs
of its kind.
Tuesday night play was given under
the skillful management of Miss Kutz,
entitled SAN Awkward Mistake; and
although the caste was made up of anna
tours, the play from theatrical stand
point bordered more on the professional,
