THE TRUTH AT LAST.

1t has been suspected for some time
past that the American people
have been kept in ignorance OF the true
military situation in the Philippines,
and the condition Of the Filipinos and
the so called insurgents. The constant
ly increasing strictness Of the censor
ship of the press dispatches from Ma
nila has prevented the cabling OF any
reports that did not reflect the views
OF General Otis. At last the cores
pondents Of American newspapers rep
resented at Manila have forwarded via
Hong Kong statement Of the sup
preston and Justification of the mill
tary situation in the Philippines. This
statement signed by eleven correspond
ents OF the leading papers of this coun-
try including three of the Associated
Press declares, that the people
of the United States have not
received correct impression OF the
situation in the Philippines,
that the dispatches incorrectly
represent the existing 'condit-
ion among the Filipinos, in re-
spect to dissensions and decentralization
resulting from the American campaign
and to the brigand character OF their
army, That the dispatches err in the
declaration that the situation is we'll
in hand and that the insurrection can
be speedily ended. That the censor
ship has compelled them to participate
in these misrepresentation on the plea
of General Otis that the truth "would
alarm the people at home" or shave
the people of the United States by the
ears"
1t cannot be charged that the CORES
pondents whose names are signed
to the statement, are politically an
tagonistlc to the administration. On
the contrary they are in most part
either friendly or impartial. The
question now arises who is responsible
for the gross suppression and falsifca-
cation of facts. Was it Gen. Otis, or
was he acting under instructions from
the president?
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-07-21

The Philadelphia North American,
which has the distinction OF being
known as John Wanamaker's paper,
says: "Take the people into your con-
Gdence, Mr. President. Trust them
rather than the professional party
managers. Get rid Of Alger and bring
peace to the Philippines. Be strong
and open, and a great triumph for you
and your party will he assured"
The North American 3 advice Is good.
But it will not be needed. ITO take
ahe people into his confidence" is the
very thing Mr.. Mckinley will not do.
Marcus Hanna is the boss OF the White
House and about the only man who is
saken into the confidence of the presi-
dent. Besides if the president were to
take the people into his confidence,
Shey would learn a great many things
concerning the administration, they
are not familiar with now. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is greater politician than
statesman. The successful politician
always keeps the people in the dark.
Mr.. Mckinley is successful politician.
AS to getting rid Of Alger, the presi-
aent will do that when Mr.. Alger is
ready to let go. Alger, and not Nc
Kinley, will decide that.
AS to bringing peace to the Philip
pines, Mr.. Mckinley has been working
On that proposition pretty diligently
in his way-for the past twelve months,
with what success the North American
Knows. The North Americans advice
20 the president is good and ought to
be needed, but it will not be.

The Cleveland Leader in referring to
ahe suppression of truthful reports from
abe Philippines, says: "The truth
cannot be concealed or suppressed" "
A wonderful admission from the Lead
fr. But when did the Leader find out
Shat "the truth cannot be concealed ?"
iSot until the eleven correspondents at
Manila refused longer to participate in
lhe Suppression and Justification of the
reports. So far as the. Leader is con-
gerned or for that matter any imperial
istic paper, the truth concerning the
Philippines would remain forever con-
9ealed. 1t is the truth in this case
that damages the cause for which the
Leader stands. When the whole truth
is known there will be "wailing and
gnashing" among the imperialists.

UNCLE SAM is RUNNING HIS OWN
WARS.

The local imperialistic expansion
organ makes the bold announcement
that "Upcle Sam is running his own
wars" and that foreign advice is not
asked for.
"'Tis true, tits pity, and pity tits, tits
true" OF course the Uncle Sam re-
ferred to Is ''Uncle Sam Mckinley"
1t can mean no other for that Is the
only Uncle Sam who is running 'his
own" war without advice. We are
pleased, however, to have this frank ad-
mission from this source, because it
sets forever at rest any doubt that may
heretofore have existed as to whose
war it really is, though the preponder-
ance OF evidence up-to-date has been
that lis Uncle Sam McKinley's war.
We would suggest, however, in friend
ly spirit, that in the future, care be ex-
ercised so as not to confuse the two I'm
Gle Sans. Let it be understood in the
future that "Uncle Sam Mckinley is
running his own war;" And let it be
understood that foreign advice-that is
the peoples advice-is not asked for.
