FRYE's rHrLIrPlNE PROGRAMME.

The Republican programme has been
outlined with reference to the Philip
pines by Senator Frye. president pro
tenn. Of the United States senate. It il
one Of which no American need be
ashamed. He will work with his party
to the end that peace shall first be re-
stored to the islands. He would then
give them good government and
arouse in the people an ambition to be-
come good citizens He proposes to sup.
ply the natives with modern agrfeal-
tual implements and SO give them the
means to earn decent wages. He would
construct railroads and highways, max
Ing access easy from the productive
fields to the ports: build school houses.
and supply teachers; educate the peo-
pie SO as to At them for governmental
functions, and then trust them with the
control Of local and municipal affairs.
This plan applies to the masses of the
people. Even giving them credit for all
the intelligence they are said to possess
and for all the virtues that even Atkin-
son claims for them, the Filipino tribes
men cannot, in the nature of things, be
fitted for self government. These do
not constitute the entire population.
There 10 a large proportion engaged In
business who are relying upon our good
faith to preserve them from the anarchy
that would follow surrender on our part
to Aguinaldo and his undisciplined
hordes of ignorant natives.
Philanthropy would scarcely meet the
requirements, even II 1t were possible
for this nation, or any other nation, to
practice charity on so gigantic a scale.
While well devised and we'll inten-
toned system of government suitable
to the conditions is being evolved. COM
mercial interests will afford the. protec-
ton and cooperation that the material
interests of the island demand.
Col. DENLY, formerly minister to
China, and admittedly a jealous student
Of Oriental trade and politics. has point
ed out that unless the United states
shall take advantage Of the opportuni-
ty, other nations will His long expert
ence in China taught him that senti-
ment does not control the, actions Of the
other great nations and that, should
we allow 1t to govern u.s. they would
applaud our course with their lips and
profit by our folly with their hands.
Some Of the anti-expansion news
papers have tainted us with hypocrisy
because we do not confine our relations
with the Philippines to missionary and
philanthropic purposes. because we re-
fuse to discard the commercial and
national advantages which their possess
sion gives us. What better service
could we render the Filipinos, just re-
leased from half a century Of oppres-
sion and practical slavery, than to help
them to independence and prosperity
by such means as that proposed by
Senator Frye? We claim that it would
result in independence. for the reason
that it is condition of at least as COM
piete independence as We enjoy under
similar institutions. Our system may
not be perfect, but we cannot give bet
ter than we possess, and we can at least
give something better than the system
of government enjoyed by any other
people.

"a TRICK WITH a HOLE IN IT."
Favorite Expression Of Munroe, the
"Blumn9' Lieutenant.
Waiia Walla Statesman.


When the war with Spain began he was
in charge OF Fort Walla Walla and re-
manned several months chatting under the
inactivity and his enforced absence from
the field Of battle, and repeatedly said that
II given a chance he would do something
to make his name known. One OF his ia
yorite expressions was: IF l get chance
I'll show them trick with hole in it."
He was delighted when the order came last
spring for him to take his troop to the
Philippines.
That he carried out his promise ito show
them a trick with a hole in IT. Is made
very evident by his capture OF sixteen
armed insurgents for every man In his COM
mand.
