OUR PLAIN DUTY.

It may be taken as established that
the Filipinos are incapable of self gov
eminent at this time. Such is now the
testimony on all sides from all sources.
It is agreed that to abandon these peo-
pie to themselves will be neither just
established in the mouths Of the best
observers that were we to retire our
forces to-day from the Philippines,
there would prevail there anarchy and
outrage that would appall the civilized
world.
Spanish officials clearly give It to
be understood that If they are to re-
turn to rule they will set up the same
harsh order of procedure that prevailed
before our entry, since they claim that
no other will be effective In the islapds.
Nevertheless 1t is conceded that after
due lapse OF time the American influ-
ence would tend to mold these strange
likes and classes, into a mass fairly
capable of enjoying liberties such as
those with which we are blessed.
But the anti-expansionists insist that
we must withdraw and leave the Aguin-
aldo force to dominate. That the rule
of the consent of the governed" is the
only one to guide US in this strait They
fail to comprehend that a people by
reason of long enslavement and con-
tact with the worst form Of govern
ment known among civilized peoples
that are incapable Of self govern
ment are incapable of passing upon the
form Of government that is best for
them.
We have assumed a responsibility now
from which we cannot retire without
dishonor, and the assumption Of still
graver responsibility. The nations OF
the earth, the moment we depart, will
assert the right to have their CONNER
cial privileges and rights protected by
a competent and strong government.
Our withdrawal therefore, would mean
simply the turning Of the islands over
| to the first greedy Powers which choose
to land troops and take possession.
Are we ready for that? Or If we are
20 return the islands to Spain, are we
| ready to see the old Spanish system
reinstated? Between these horns our
| duty lies. Clearly IT is to retain pos,
session, which came to us as if it were
one of the links in the destiny and mis-
| sion of this republic.
1t is full time to call down this fell
low Agoncillo, the so-called Filipino
representative. He is assuming die
tatorial airs at once impairment and
| offensive. That he is not recognized
rouses his ire. and he begins to lecture
the President, Congress and the de-
partments Of the American Government
and throw out ill-concealed threats. AS
long as he is tolerated he will breed
| trouble. Doubtless he informs his
Chief that he has the support of an
element in our land which stands for
recognition of Aguinaldo and his sup
positions republic. What with the OBJ
structionists in Congress and out, with
Aguinaldo in the Philippinessand Agon-
clio in the United States, we are be-
ing made the laughing stock Of the

Belle Archer and her clever comedy
company in "a Contented Woman
greatly pleased good audience at the
opera-hOu last night. The play is an
admirable satire upon woman in poll
tics, nor does it apologize for or spare
the devious ways Of men in politics.
1t is the best satire We have had from
Hoyt's pen, because it has firmer.
clearer and more serious purpose than
any other he has written. The COM
pany is a thoroughly good one, and
the star a charming comedienne.

BACKED HIS ST. CASIMIR
CALDWELL GAVE THE RACE TO
THE YoUNGsTER.
Judges Also Gave Corrigan's Adolph
Spreckels the Verdict in Nose

Were Won.

While dozens of California horsemen
are going hungry, their poor, weather
beaten charges neighing for a good feed
OF oats, Ed Corrigan, the curse of all that
is good and pure in racing, has race after
race placed on the programme for the
winners and non-winners of his string.
Thus does the man who ruined racing in
Chicago and sounded its deathknell in
San Francisco now seek to prostitute
this noble sport in the city across the
bay. He heads the list of winning own
erS for the entire season, but still his lust
for gold is insatiate. Leaving behind him
a trail of blood, misery and woe, ne
sought this far Western country to re-
coup his fallen fortune. Seated on tot
tering throne, surrounded by corrupt
court, how long will a suffering pub
lie bow subservient to this transplanted
ruler?
The above words were not written with
out something to be said in support of
them. CaldwelTs start in the opening
two-year-old race was nothing short of
shocking-it was disgraceful. Corrigan
and his clique played st. Casimir, and
Caldwell sent the youngster away flying.
He won handily from HindOo Princess.
San Tomas had worked well enough to
win a block" and was left at the post.
Five favorites won at this track over
the bay, borrowed from the California
Jockey Club by the eXileS of Ingleside.
This is not to be taken as a criterion of
honesty, for all five winners were heavily
played.
Betting on the six-furlong sprint, sec
ond on the card, was nervous and fluctu-
ating Sly opened favorite, receded to 13

time caused that mare to occupy the
place of honor in the betting. Horatio
and Alaria struck the stretch first, with
Sly an easy fourth. Ruiz on the latter
gradually forged to the front, beating
AIaria a head on the wire with HOratio

Charley Fink took the mile and quar-
ter event with his colt Ulm. Seven to ten

verdict over Malay by a nose. The finish
was such a close and desperate one that
