SOLDIER OPPOSES IMPERIALISM.
Nebraska Volunteer Wants to Know VIVA
He Is Fighting For.

Nebraska Volunteer Wants to Know what
He Is Fighting For.
IN. Y. Evening POst.I
We quoted yesterday the letter from
a Nebraska soldier to his family, re
ceived at his home after the cable had
announced his death from wounds re-
ceived in battle, IN which he said. Il
am not afraid and am always ready to
do my duty, but 1 would like someone
TO tell me what We are fighting for.
Another Nebraska soldier, j. Z. FetteU-
~, has written a letter, published by
the Omaha World Herald, which Is no
less significant Of the feeling that pre-
walls among our troops. After some
interesting stories Of persOnOl adven-
ture, he discusses TIE general situa-
ton, and says
@SOme think the insurgents are dis
heartened, but / think they will make
a desperate struggle for what they con
slider their rights. I do not approve Of
the course our government is pursuing
with these people. If all men are crea-
ted equal, they have some rights which
ought to be respected
He goes on to give his own ObserEa-
lions as TO the intelligence Of the ma
tives; says that he has found but few
who can not read and write both their
stopping the schOOIbOys on the streets
TO examine their books, and Of its be
ing mo uncommon thing to find boys
of II aud -, and sometimes younger,
with algebraS. geOmetries OF a general
history, sometimes a natural hlStOry;
says that while, of course, the educa-
tiOnaI facilities are not so good outside
Of Manila. the Catholics have estab-
lished schools in the provinces, and
concludes his review with the remark
that, generally speaking, / could not
call the people an enlightened race IN
the sense we use the term, but If 1 con-
slider their geographical position and
the influence of climate and their Ii
mited opportunity of educational ad-
vantages and the poor inducements
there have been for higher education,
one would be favOrably impressed with
the progress they have made"
This clear-sighted soldier applies the
results of his observations to the eX-
isting situation with a philosophy
worthy Of a statesman. He holds that
the EilipinOs "Can not arbitrarily be
judged incompetent to govern" and
maintains that lat the head of the in
sUrgent cause there Is as much intel
leCt as can be found in Cuba, Mexico
or the South American republics" OF
course "A soldier who entertains such
views has no sympathy with a war to
deny the natives of the right to govern
themselves On this point he says
.-In a word, 1 believe they should be
accorded all the rights that we claim
for ourselves As for myself, 1 marched
into the battle to make them free-nOt
TO maks them subjects. 1 understood
our mission to be one Of humanity and
for the cause of freedom, but our offer
ing on the altar of liberty has been
prOstituted."
Such letters as these from private
soldiers. going into a multitude Of
homes throughout the west, are caus-
ing a revolution In public sentiment
which the champions Of Imperialism
find il impossible to resist.
