IN THE SENATE

The action of the senate of the United
States in regard to the Philippines
will surprise and vex many close OBJ
servers of passing events. The Nc
Emery resolution was adopted by a
very small majority. 1t was pitiable
to see some alleged democrats dumb
as oysters and lodging the issue. Sen
ator Bacon, of Georgia, had a resolu-
ton that was defeated by Speaker
Reeds vote. All the senators who
spoke condemned the McEnery reso-
luton. Senator Bacon affirmed that
"it did not look to the future freedom
and self-government of the Philippe
o He. regarded it as simply a decla-
ration that y,nile the Philippines were
subjects of this country, they could
never become citizens of the United
States.' This appears to have been
the opinion of many Senator'S. Hoar,
Hale and Mason, all republicans, spoke
against the resolution that was adopt
ed. The Bacon resolution made the
United States disclaim any purpose to
ever incorporate the Philippines as
citizens of this country, but to give
them a government suitable to their
wants and conditions. And that was
just what should have passed unani-
mously. 1t is an outrage upon the
American people to talk of ever in

1.-THE White Mans Burden..'
of the Messenger.

The dignifed and distinguished
critics and expounders of the northern
press never appear to such self-con-
scious advantage as when dealing with
the race problem at long range. Dis
lance (by far the most important fac
tor in the discussion) is distinctly en-
chanting to their point Of view. Prox-
unity does not enhance the relish with
which they undertake it's solution and
anything like actual contact with the
subject matter brings disillusionment.
Academic writing fiourishes best where
theories and not unfortunate conditions
are confronted and encountered.
The southern people are not respon-
sible for the Inauguration of the insti-
tuition of slavery in this country. 1t
was committed to them from those who
abandoned the system, not because of
its ~inhumanity, but improbable less.

their northern brethren which refused
to share with them the odium of an
iniquity distinctly northern and not

sympathy and cooperation which are
needed in meeting and %disposing Of the
problems of negro emancipation and
infranchisement. Negro slavery and
afterwards suffrage were forced upon
the people of the south. Both condi-
tons, equally extreme, equally unnat-
ural-they have had to face single
handed and alone, %estranged from all
encouragement, conscious of the fact
that to falter and fail in their adjust
ment, meant to them, as to those una

The lackrymose gentlemen who lavish
so much morbid and maudlln sympl-

recognize what has been done for the
welfare of the nations oldest and most

unaided, unguided and ~uncheered
