Not Against, but For Liberty.

Every time man puts war tax

whether he's paying on account OF the
Spanish war. or defrayIng the cost of
whipping people who are fighting for
liberty" says the Register. Where are
any people being whipped for lighting
for lberty?" This governments. never in
all its history fought against human
| liberty. The blood of its heroes has
been shed from the beginning of It's his
tory to the present day and date for
human liberty and in behalf OF civil
rights and public order. The struggle
in the philippines has been for the re-
storatiol- OF order out Of chaos, and TO
give to beniShted people stable gov
eminent, based upon civilized prlnci-
pies, to protect the lives and property
Of civilized people, and to fulfill a sacred
obligation.
The Filipino leaders are not fighting
for liberty, because this government
never threatened thel- liberties. They
made the war themselves without cause.
The intelligent. conservative, civilized
portion OF the Filipinos appreciated
what this country did, and would to-
| day accept the protectOrate of the
United States on the plans laid down by
the representatives of the United States.
That appears in all the official reports.
The only things that have prevented
this acceptance are the attitude of the
leaders. who well know the hopelessness
| OF their cause. which Is merely to fur
Their their own personal ambtions-the
Ignorant natives being told that the
pathway OF Aguinaldos scattered and
| demoralzed army Is one of constant
victory-and the attitude OF such sym
pathizers and promoters OF prejudice
against this government as the Regis
ter Is.
One Of the strong inducements of the
Filipinos not to accept peace and plan
of government which would recognize
their civil rights and give them liberal
measure of home rule, pending 4 broad
er plan to be settled by Congress- Is the
impression among them that the people
in this country are sympath!z!ng with
their fight against our American SOL
dlers.

THE .INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, JUNE ., 1soo.
A Good Days Work.

The Ohio state Republican convention
did two or three good things yesterday,
which forecast an overwhelming victory
ut the coming state election. The NOM
inatIon Of George X. Nash, on the Sec
ond ballot. for governor, the choice be-
Ing made unanimous without count,
settled to the satisfaction OF all ele-
ments what promised to be at one time
an acrimonious contest. The spirit of
harmony which was exhibited among
all the leaders in the speeches Of the
day previous did not subside. 1t devel-
oped even stronger yesterday, and cul-
minated as above noted. Mr.. Nash is 4
distinguished lawyer, an aggressive and
able leader, and possesses great popu-
larity. No man in Ohio is better
known, and none better equipped for a
successful campaign.
In line with the selection OF 4 friend
Of the national administration to head
the ticket. was the unequivocai and elo-
quent endorsement OF the administra-
ton Of President Mckinley, which the
opening paragraphs OF the platform de-
clare is distinguished to q remarkable
degree In the history OF national admin
Istrations." The platform review Of the
history Of the two past years. though
brief. is a convincing argument for the
endorsement OF the great Executive
who has been at the head of affairs.
Under his splendid administration
public credit has been restored, the
prosperity OF the people has been devel-
opcd. our commerce has grown great,
ou- trade. domestic and foreign, has in
creased to degree never before known,
and the people are looking with conf
Gence for greater things TO come"
Confidence is expressed in the compe-
tercy OF the same master guidance OF a
Republican administration and Con-
gress 10 settle the momentous questions
growing out OF the war. All the princi-
pies OF Repuh!.caa!srn are re-aitirmed
and illesitimate trusts are denounced.
Taken altogether the Ohio Republicans
have reason TO congratulate themselves
that they will open a campaign which
will interest the whole country under
most suspicious circumstances.

A West virglnian,s Good Worls +

.
One of the West Virginlans holding
an Important position under the ma
tlonal administration, who is rapidly
making n reputation for his remarkable
efficiency, Is United States Fish Com
missioner George NJ. Bowers, OF Mar
tInsburg. When Mr.. Bowers was ap-
pointed to this very responsible Office
the Democratic papers did great deal
OF sneering at his expense, making out
that he was totally without experience
and scientifically unfit to administer the
duties, and that his appointment was
purely case of political reward and
without regard to merit.
Mr.. Bowers had not been in office six
months until he began to receive praises
through the press from those who had
business connections with the commits
sioner's office. not only for the SYSTEM
attic conduct of the bureau. but for the
rare qualities that the commissioner
was developing in the knowledge Of the
needs and the duties. The reforms and
the Increased facilities OF the bureau
have been OF great benefit to the SER
vice. and Mr.. Bowers has received more
than ordinary praise from high sources.
A Washington special published yes
terday In the Intclligencer referred to
the most important scientific expedition
ever fitted out by the fish commission,
which Commissioner Bowers had re-
ported to the President he had ar
ranged. 1t Will cover wide field Of
exploration by q party Of experts on the
steamer Albatross. which belongs to the
commission, in charge Of the famous
Prof. Agassiz. The UNEMPLOYED portions
Of the Pacific ocean, in the interests Of
the bureau, are to be visited. including
several of the south sea Islands, where
new and rare varieties of fish are to be
found. 1t Is also said that the output
Of the government fisheries this year
VIII be record-breaker. millions more
Of fish are being Matched and distrlb-
utcd in the streams Of the country than
ever before.
1t will thus be seen that this West
Firsinian has developed capacity far
beyond what was conceived of. even by
his friends, when his appointment
brought out sneers and ridicule from n
partisan press over the selection Of an
unknown and Inexperienced fish COM
missioner. Mr.. Bowers has clearly and
In short time proven the wisdom of
his selection. He is type of man de-
scrlbcd in recent article published by
the 1ntelligencer. based on the war in

Philadelphia Press: For n few months
after his defeat In 1856 Mr.. Bryan was
In the habit of asking people whom he
met whether the GenerR had arrived;
and when Inquiry was made as to what
general he moant. his reply always was:
why. General Prosperity" Events
soon blunted the edge OF that joke, and
now MIR. Bryan has coined another Joke.
He began his speech In st. Louis last
Thursday night with 1t. saying: IAN ac-
tor who visited Nebraska recently, up
on learning from Republican that
confidence had been restored, remarked
that he had examined Webster's die
tonanary to learn what confidence
meant, and found confidence defined as
trust Then he understood that con-
hdence had been really restored"
MT Bryan probably imagines that by
telling this story glihly he can make
people laugh. and laughing forget how
lamentably mistaken he was In 1896,
when he was going about the country,
asserting that prosperity would never
return unless there was free coinage
OF silver at the ratio of 16 to l. The
world Is wiser to-day than It was three
years ago. and Is not likely to forget
that Mr.. Bryan proved to be false
prophet once. and that the schoolboy
jokes he may tell for the deiectation Of
the galleries are not arguments. He
Will also find 1t difficult task to place
the Republican party on the defensive
on the question Of trusts. It's national
and state platforms have been I'M
equivocal on this subject. The much
larger part Of the legislation for the
regulation and restriction of trusts has
been enacted by the Republican party.
The Democratic party had full control
Of the Flfty-third Congress, but not
one piece Of antitrust legislation was
passed. Since then neither party has
had majority in both houses OF Con-
Sress. And Democratic laws against
trusts passed by the state legislatures
have either been declared unconstitu-
tional or have had to be ignored.
With this record behind his party Mr.
Bryan's attempt to trick the people by
setting up another DOGGY will prove to
be humllintinS failure. But 1t must
have needed unusual self-assurance for
him TO assert In his ST. Louis speech
that: THE Republican party Is i'm
potent TO destroy trusts. It is con-
trolled by those who are interested in
trusts and Its campaign funds. and
sinews OF war are supplied by the
trusts" Mr.. o. II. p. Belmont must
have smiled as he listened to this at
tempt Of Mr.. Bryan to make opposition
to trusts plank of the platform on
which Mr.. Belmont himself hopes to
run for Vice President. 1t will have as
much effect on the country as one OF
Mr.. Bryan's stale jokes.
