These are all facts In this remarkable
case, and while Judge Rich follows in
structions from the supreme court touch
Ing the payment Of the money by the
receiver, 1t is not plain to one not
versed in the law how the supreme
court could on an appeal for new
trial review the case sufficiently to
enter judgment and fix the amount
at &76.68 more than was due the state.
We frankly admit, we don't see it, and
still it has been done and the receiver
has to pay the money.

The Chicago Standard, a Baptist jouanal,
publishes an impressive passage by Ne
braska soldier, who may or may not have
survived the battle of Sunday Hast in which
the Colonel of his regiment was killed
This soldier writes =
We came here to help. not to slaughter
these natives TO fight the oppressor Spain,
not the oppressed. 1t strikes me as not
very fair to pursue policy that leads to
this insurrection and then keep US volun-
teeEs out here TO fight battles we never
enlisted for. | cannot see that we are
lighting for any principle now"
The father of this soldier was one of
six brothers who fought in the Union army
through the civil war. and be sends to the
Standard the following indignant express
sion of his feelings about the war of
conquest in the Philippines:
Had our Government responded to the
appeal of the Filipino Government by
sending back word that whstever our
treaty relations with Spain might be as to
the Philippine Islands, they, the Filipinos,
would be left free 10 establish self govern
ment as soon as they showed capacity for
selfgovernment. this shameful war would
not stain the pages OF American history.
And my noble, liberty loving boy would
not now be lying severely wounded in the
chest at Manila, per despatch on March
It seems to me our Government is commit
ting a crime against Americas liberty
loving sons when she gets men TO enlist in
behalf of the d0Wntr0dden and oppressed
of Spain and then BY change of policy
forces them to slaughter those they came
to save"

A Protest.

A big meeting was held in Central Music
Hall, Chicago, on April 30 addressed by
Prof. J. Lawrence Laughlin, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago; Bishop 1 L. spalding, of
Peoria, and President Henry Wade Rogers
of Northwestern University
All, in forceful language, denounced the
Mckinley policy in the PHILIPPINES.
Prot Laughlin said in part: We went
to Manila with uplifted club, saying we
bought you; you belong to us. Surrender
outright, or we will snbiugate yon,' and
then because they did just what our fore
fathers did at Lexington and Concord we
sent more troops and killed more natives"
These resolutions we adopted =
g We hold that the policy known as
Imperialism is hostile to liberty and tends
to militaryism. We regret that il is now
necessary to reafirm that all men, of what
ever race or color, are entitled to life
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We
still maintain that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of the
governed. The forclble subjugasion of a
purchased people is criminal aggression
We earnestly condemn the policy Of
the present national Administration in the
Philippines. We protest against the extern
sion of American pire by Spanish meth
DDS, and demand the immediate cessation
of the war against liberty, begun by Spain
and continued by as. It is to-day as true
of the Filipinos as it was year ago of the
Cubans that they are and of right onght
to be free and independent people,"

Governor Pingree, of Michigan, who is
honoFed IN the State as a patriotic man of
the people, should not confound the people
of New Jersey or the State itself with the
bad laws that are fastened upon New Jer-
sey by unworthy Legislators.
In his remarks at Cooper Union last
week Governor Pingree said 10 regard to
Trusts that while most of them are CON
ceived in New York, they cross the river to
New Jersey to get licenses to live.
{" Do not think / am prejudiced," said
the Governor, If suggest that the Trust
evil might be cured If all the other States
should extend an invitation to New Jersey
TO secede from the Union. This, however,
might be embarrassing just now, Our Vice
President and Attorney General are both
citizens Of New Jersey. / am confident
that the people of the United States who
are suffering from the operations OF the
Trust would raise no objection if New
Jersey should comply with such an invita-
tion.p
We can assure Michigan's Governor that
the sentiment in his OWE State is not more
pronounced against trusts than in New
Jersey aud that his remarks are uncalIed
for and unjust.
Governor Piugree should also remember
that New Jersey is one Of the original
thirteen States that formed the Union when
Michigan was a bowling wilderness. Mich
igan did not become State until it adopted
Constitution in 1887, and it was original;
French territory.
A suggestion from that quarter for New
Jersey to secede from the Unionn ignores
the TACT also that New jersey is State of
Revolutionary battlefields and was tracked
from one end to the other with the blood of
the patriotic fathers.
Il is true that Michigan is closely identi-
fed with the Spanish American war, but
