MIR. MK1NLEy ON HIS LAST LEGS.

Some OF the Hanna Journals are
Dusty pooh-poohing the Republican OPP
position to the denomination of McKin-
ley next year for President; but 1t is
very like the whistling which Is done

ways lacks the merry note that whistles
tor want of thought, or that comes from
light heart They say that the more
rivals Mckinley has, the more is the
opposition to him divided and thus
weakened; but they would have us be-
iieve that they forget that every fresh
competitor adds to the aggregate oppo-
sition and takes more or less strength
from Mckinley. But, say the McKin-
ley-Hannaites as the candidates receiv
ing the lowest votes on every ballot are
dropped, some will come to mckinley
who. keeping ahead or all, will finally
be nominated by the necessary ma-
jority.
That seems plausible and would be n
reasonable calculation if the opposition
TO Mckinley were q mere personal pre-
terence for some other candidate: but
the real truth is that this opposition lie
personal only as relates to Hanna and
the other evil characters Mckinley.

influences. has gathered around him to
the exclusion of better clements. and &c
an opposition based on high principles
common to oil true Americans. without
regard to party, and that condemn the
policies and measures of an administra
ton as unwise as it is wicked. and
which at once tends to the ruin of tbe
party, and the great injury of the coun-
try.
Hence. either before, or at the Re-
publican national convention of 1900.
this growing opposition to Hanna mon

probably combine on some one candi-

there is no other way to get rid of
Hanna, Alger and their confederates in

At first his terrors had been moral
and spiritual. menace, detestation. in
generation, horror, but later, all physi-
cal distress came upon him. Loathing,
yet fascinating, he lived for centuries
with the accused crocodiles and other
denominations OF the flesh. The voice.
OF his children sometimes had power to
froe him for time from his misery.
and he says:
Il protest that so awful was the tran
s!ticn from the damned crocodile and
me otner unutterable monsters of my
dreams to the sight of innocent human
natures and OF infancy that in the
mighty and sudden revusion of mind I

He succeeded after n tremendous
struggle in partially freeing himself
from the deadly spell; and at the close
OF MS Confessions" We are left under
inc impression that he Is once more a
Tree man. But such was not really the
case. He had decreased the quantity
Oh laudanum from 5000 to 300 or 400
drops, and almost thought himself
cured, 50 great was his Improvement.
lS0t such distressing physical symp-
toms appeared that he found It impos-
sible TO abstain entirely, and for long
time ne aiternated between abstinence
and indulgence. His mind, however.
recovered Its tone, and he had q great
or mental activity than for years. He
! wrote Eis Confessions" and "Suspira
&c Protundis." a sequel to them, and
GA other|valuable work. But so shat
tered was he in body and mind that
when the proof sheets were sent to him
ne col!d rot read them with attention
enough to notice even the press errors
or verbal inaccuracies. The "Confes-
slons' were published in a periodical in
lS2l. and in 1922 in a volume. In the
sequel to the work which appeared

ms weakness IL second time. But the
third time he went down. After the
third relapse new and monstrous phe-
nomena attended upon him. He felt
himself sinking irre;revably and was
overcome by feeling of despair For
the first time he felt the hopelessness
of retrieving his position. The situa-
ton he says was that OF one
Escaping by some renuent current
from the maelstrom roaring for him In
the distance. who finds suddenly that
this current is but an eddy, wheeling
round upon the same maelstrom."
The Confessions" gave him at once
n high place among living authors, and
he went TO London. driven by pecuniary
necessities, 20 engage in literature as q

years in Westmoreland. several years Of
the time in Nordsworths cottage at
Grasmere. His friends there and in
London were Wordsworth. Coleridge.

His writings were all contributed to

sums for them. But he was haunted by

The presidents argument in support Of the iuStnsSs of our war h the Philippines and ,he reasons he assigns why our eoun- try should retain sovereignty over the islands are uncontrovertable. Ina straight forward and clear manner he sets forth the fast that Aguinaldo represents only small portion Of the population Of the Philippine archipelago. The many mill ions of the opulltIon of the Islands have no, only not made a demand for lndspend- sncs, but were much concerned over the prstsn,lons of AguInaldo.
 The purchase of the islands from Spain by the United aiss was an act required of this country bv its obligations to eivll- izatlon. Srlin hal been so weakened by her war with America that she could never have miIntalned a government against the aggressIonS Of Agulnlldo. The United States was bound to take the Islands or permi, them to be sold to the hlgheS, bid der. as Splln did with her other Pacific possessions. lt was not a case Of greedy aggrlndzsment on the part of thls coun- ,rv at all. It was simply our only re- course. That the result will be to enlarge our commerce and expand our government al usefulness IS a very satisfactory incl dent. truly. but lt Is, nevertheless, only an lncitent Co the real reason oi our purchase rather thln the reason Itself.
 Having purchased the Philippines. lt was not only Amdca's duty ,o the eOun' tries of the world having interests in or with the islands Co maintain a stable gov smment there, bu, the duty was owing to the Fii.pInoS themselves. lt was as much the duty of the United States to protect them from Aguinal1o's government as it would have been Co intercede had thev been threltened by foreign olrblrilns in' stead of native.

FINAL StLNES or WAR.

An assoc.a,et press dispatch from Manila states that it is impossible to get the insurgents Co fight. They arc retreating 10 the mountains. and no more organized re ss,ance Is expeciet. The only danger feared Is for the safety of small detach. men'S Of General Y0ungs forces But Young does not join in the feeling of fear from this Sour,e. He has divided much of his army into small detachmentS of not more than 200. in order Co cover a greater field Recently one of these tetlehments was unexpectedly att ciled by Soo inSurg. ents, whom they quickly routed. The fact that so mary insurgents were still held together in a single command was a surprise ana caused some alarm. General Young thinks. however, that the body will get smaller after -lch meeting with one Of his attachments.
 lt Is not sIrDTiSing under the eircum- stances that Aguin1to wants to surrender He has had sufficient expeuenee in warfare Co know that the end is at hand. Whatever the mistakes that have been made by the American commanding general. the Ameri- cans have impresse the insurgent leader asa people who accomplish that which they set out Co q Hs has found that, unlike the SplnlartS. with whom he maintained a war for years, the Americans will not be sltIshed with his retreat to the mountains, but they propose to hunt down every inSuuec,loniSt ln the Island. He has been given a practical lesson In the financial caplci;y of the North Am,rican nation. Here !, has been the reverse from Spanish methods in that the longer the war hiS lasted the greater has become the effort Co close i,, and expenditure of money has increased. Guerilla warfare cannot win aglius, such a policy and such peo- pie.
 Aguinlljo seems to onlv want to save his neck He will surrender to Wildman. he says. Knowing Wildman, he feels that his life would be safe in his hands.
