Aguinaldo runs so fast that the
American Generals cannot overtake
him. Nevertheless he manages to be
heard from, and the latest announce
ment of this doughty chieftain of the
art Of retreat, is that he has killed off
ever SO many thousands Of American
soldiers, and has taken some 10000
of them prisoners; that the Democracy
in the States is now all one for the in
surgents, therefore hope should spring
blithely in every Tagal breast This
would be amusing were it not for the
reflection that by such means a horde
of simple and trusting Fflipinos are in
duced to continue in arms against the
United States. and thus be deprived of
liberties and privileges such as they
have never experienced, and of civiliz-
ing opportunities and an up-lift in hu-
mainly, such as no other nation can
secure for them save our own.

A grave discussion, for instance, as to
the fact, noticed, that men are apt to
shorten in size as they grow older, sug-
gested to him the probable working of
this process in some vast period of time

patriarchs. His busy fancy at once con-

WHAT THE FUTURE MAY BRING

There may be truth in the story tele-
graphed that the little State of Panama
desires to be annexed to the United
States. Panama has been torn by civil
war and dissension enough to make the
wish of the people correspondent with
the reported petition to be taken under
our wing. But Panama is State of a.
confederation with which alone we deal,
not with the units of that federation
Therefore, Panama's appeal can have
no hearing.
The time may not be far distant,
however, when there will be stronger
and broader appeal for the protecting
arm of American institutions to be
stretched over Latin States. The thing
is by no means improbable that early
in the next century we may be involved
in questions of expansion in directions
that Will not take us across salt water.
When 1t comes to that, the question
will stir the people of the United States
infinitely more than does that of the
occupation and retention of the Phil-
ippines. We are of those who believe
that we should attach these States TO
our Union, that If there is to be abb
sorptfon of lesser Latin States which
lie close to continental borders. Mexico,
rather than the United States, will be
the absorbent. Nor is it likely that we
Will do other than favor such swallow

ity to maintain q State worthy of rec
osnitfon and to conduct her people.

of the greatest significance. 1t reaches
far beyond the Samoan group; for in
stance the removal of German influ-
ence in the Transvaal quarrel, by
which the task Of England in that d.
rection Is hghtened. The adjustment
secures to US absolutely the harbor Of
Page Pago. far and away the safest
and best in all the South Pacific. This
means great deal for US, giving US a
fine naval station and coaling depot on
the most important south sea route.
This harbor will be of inestimable com
mercda1 value to us also and will
greatly stimulate our South Sea Ship
ping interests. The adjustment re-
moves a cause of irritation between
Germany and the United States and
Germany and England, and this will
tend to the establishment Of better re-
lations between the three countries.

FINALLY. a word as to the way out.
Is it conceivable that we should With
draw our troops, abandoning our
friends to the vengeance of our enemies
and the people at large to civil war and
anarchy? There is but one answer to
this question. Our troops must stay
until armed resistance has ceased anu
public confidence has been 1uiiy re-
stored. The day viii come. sooner or
later, when native soldiers under Amer
lean officers or officers of their own, VIII
do large share Of the work that re-
mains to be done. In the matter CT
autonomy, we have already made safe
beginning and the experiments In mu-
nicipal and provincial governments
which are even now in progress Will
eventually furnish safe basis for Con-
gressional action.
''In closing let me say that there does
not live an 'anti-imperialist who mas
more sincere regard for the protection
of the Philippine islanders or a keener
interest in their present and future well
fare than myself. I have great faith IN
them. 1 believe that under our guidance
they will make rapid progress in civil
ization and will soon be able to take an
important share in the burden OF their
country, but I know that if the full
weight of that burden were thrown
upon them to-day they would inevitably
sink under it,
Those who affect to believe that we
are creating bloody disorder by our
presence in the Philippines; that the
natives would continue to hate US II
we gave them good government: that
they would be better off under a very
bad government of their own than
very good one administered In part by
ours, and that the only logical and
honorable course open to us is to With
draw our forces and leave the peace
able and law-abiding natives of the
Philippine Islands at the mercy OF
Aguinaldo and his army, may be sim
cere in their convictions, but by free
ly giving voice to them they are en-
couraging the ambitious Tagalo leader
to prolong a hopeless struggle. The
prolongation of this struggle is cost
ing US millions of dollars, and, what is
far worse, good American blood. Let
history fix the responsibility for 1t.
Those of us who believe the flag
should stay in the East and that under
it's shadow we should patiently teach
to our new wards the lessons they
must learn ere they can take their
place in the great family of nations
as a free and united people, should
stand shoulder to. shoulder. There IS
work for us to do. Let those scott who
will. The future of 100000 Of human
beings and the honor Of a great ma
ton are in our keeping, and the eyes
of the world are upon US. Let us not
prove unfaithful to our trust

A STINGING REPLY.

In our columns this morning VIII be
found a synoptical statement OF an ad-
dress delivered in Chicago this week by
Professor Dean C. Worcester, a mem
Der of the United States Philippine
Commission, who made study Of the
Philippine situation on the ground, is
the author of work upon the Islands
and their people, and who had full ac-
cess to all official and governmental
documents relating to our occupation OF
the Philippines. In addition, the Com
missioner, in common with his col
leagues, had full power to examine wit
nesses and take testimony widely and
without restriction upon any subject re-
lating to the duty with which he was
intrusted.
It will be found that Professor Wor-
cester's object in speaking in Chicago
was to refute the mass of mendacious
statements that have been made from
the same rostrum upon which he stood,
and which have been industriously cir
culated by the anti-expansion and So
called anti-imperialistic leagues, and
by the copperhead press generally. Pro-
lessor Worcester really told the people
nothing new in his address, but it was
well that he should say what he did,
because he presents the facts in new
form and establishes his statements
with fertilization of truth, by evidences
which are undeniable.
The report of his address should be
read carefully by all who wish to be
well informed upon the subject of our
policy in the Philippines. We invite
attention specially to the passage in
which the constantly iterated lie is nail
ed that the Government or some one
for it. promised Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowing independence and recognition Of
his soLcalled republic"
Professor Worcester stamps this lie
as it! deserves. and adds that members
of Aguinaldo's cabinet testified before
the commission, and freely admitted
that Aguinaldo had in his proclamation
of June 18th addressed to his people
stated that no American had ever
promised him independence for the Fill
ipinos. Equally as important state
ments are made by Professor Worces-
ter. all tending to clear away miscon-
ceptions and confound the copperheads
who have SO mendaciously assailed the
Government policy and the. military
procedure in the Philippines.
