The real truth of the situation at
Manila is leaking out, even through
the carefully censored dispatches that
are permitted to be sent to this
country.
Now we are informed that a much
larger army is needed there, in order
to suppress the pertinacious natives
who persist in maintaining their
struggle for liberty and independence.
despite the odds that they arc com
pslled TO encounter. They are whipped
daily by our forces, but they will not
stay whipped. They retreat before the
terrific charges of our brave and in.
trepid fighters, but they return to the
country from which they have been
expelled. They hang upon the tanks
of our army, and harrass it in every
possible manner. They. will not give
up the fight.
1t is said that call for volunteers
may have to be made, in order to re
cruit our forces in the Philippines Il
the proper proportions. But with wha
grace can this government call upor
its citizens to enlist for the purpose .
fighting people who are srandin,
upon the living principles Of on
Declaration of Independence. and ar
fighting for freedom against thi
country, as our forefathers Tough
against the British Crown? The cal
for volunteers to drive cruel and cor
'upt Spain out of Cuba met with
glorious response; but will a lik
answer come to the appeal for men +
skill niggers" in the Philippinesg T
shoot down a people who are fightin
nobly for independence and sell
government?

We reprint elsewhere in this issue
that grand, though brief, address de-
livered by Abraham Lincoln upon the
occasion of the dedication of the Ma
tional Cemetery on the battlefield of
Gettysburg, in 1868, the year of that
memorable conflict. 1t is good reading
at this time, not only by reason of its
Memorial Day associations, but by rea-
son of tho trend of our National pathway
along lines that lead far away from the
noble attainment that was the senti-
ment of Lincoln's immortal address.
As q great country we are now en-
deavoring TO ordain that government
of the people, by the people, and for
the people" shall perish in the Philip
pine Islands, IL the force of our arms
cad accomplish such an unholy purpose.
