THE TREATY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

JHE 1hEAI1 AMI IHE THILIf i''|p'
Senator Gray is right. He reminds the pub
leland his colleagues-that in the making OF
the Treaty Of Peace with Spain and In It's rat
ifcation this Nation Is not being committed TO
colonial or any other policy. 1t is simply
closing the issues Of the war In the only way
in which they can honorably be closed. The
question of Colonial policy" the government
and disposition of" the Philippines and all such
matters are left for subsequent action by the
only body competent to act upon them Those
are matters for the American people. through
their chosen representatives, 10 pass upon.
The idea that this Nation is to make its own
domestic policy n matter Of negotiation with
Spain or with any other foreign Power is sim
ply intolerable. The United States Is able to
manage its own affairs. And its affairs will
be managed in 4 constitutional way. Senator
GRAY rightly says that no policy in respect to
the Philippines can be adopted without the con-
sent Of Congress. That is the fact that abso-
lutely divorces the question Of the Treaty from
the question of the retention or nonretentlon
of the Philippines. The Treaty simply takes
the islands from Spain, prevents their falling
prey TO any other Power and places them into
our hands 1t docs not bind us to hold them
forever 1t does not restrain us from setting
them up in independence or from pursuing any
other course with respect to them that may on
due consideration seem desirable.
In fact it is only through ratification Of the
Treaty that such choice OF courses and such
freedom of action can be opened to this Nation.
For II is only thus that peace IS TO be made
and normal international relations re-estab-
lished. Until II is ratified we are technically
AT war with Spain. SO long as we are at war
with Spain we e holding the Philippines by
force. under the war powers Of the Constitu-
ton. We cannot withdraw from them. To do
so would be to retire before the enemy. 1t Is
not conceivable that any American wishes that
TO be done 1t Is not to be supposed that the
Commander-in-Ch Chief OF the Army and Navy,
having been commanded by Congress to wage
war against Spain, will order his troops and
fleets TO retreat. So long as the war lasts he
will hold with strong hand all that has been
gained SO if any one thinks Of opposing rat
ifcation OF the Treaty because he does not want
the Philippines held by this country, he Is tax
ing the surest way to defeat his own object.
Rejection of the Treaty might mean many
things or might not; but the one thing 1t inevi-
tablv would mean Is the retention of the Philip
pines.
The sane view OF the case must surely pre-
vail Senators will see that the first duty is TO
settle our accounts with Spain and to re-
establish peace. After that will come the con-
sideratjon of our own affairs, for ourselves, and
by ourselves

peared constantly for many years. and have
hudered action when any effort has been mace
TO get rid of antiQuated features which have
been found full Of mischief and danger, ana
which most other nations have discarded 1t Is
not the purpose here to discuss the details OF
various bills or plans but to point out the iac.
that the responsibility rests with Congress, ana
that IL Is the patriotic duty OF members, with
out regard TO political or sectional dlnerences'
TO set themselves honestly and earnestly ana
very promptly TO the task Of determining what
the welfare Of the country requires. They can
not plead in case Of any disaster resulting from
inaction and delay that II was the business OF
Army officers first to agree upon measure
The Army does not make laws for Itself, nor
does the Navy 1t is the duty Of Congress to de-
eide what the efficiency Of the service requires,
and that with the utmost freedom from those
partisan or fractional influences which are liable
to disturb the judgment
The country has full reason to be proud OF It's
soldiers and its sailors. Better material for an
army or navy no other nation can boast. IL has
been proud Of officers in both branches OF the
service whose achievements have reflected i'm
perishable honor on the American name. so
much the more earnestly It desires to have
every obstacle to the highest efficiency re-
moved. The country is not blind to defccts
which the war exposed to view, and calls on
Congress TO remove them as wisely and as
thoroughly ms II can. If Congress acts. and yet
not in the wisest and most thorough manner, it
can at least plead that 1t has decided according
TO It's best information and Judgment, and can
finish the work later. But II it does nothing,
and talks to death measures 80 important as
these it will expose itself to n condemnation
for which no palliation will be found. 1t Is the
duty of Congressman to do their part, as sol
diers and sailors have done their part, for the
safety and honor Of the Nation.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

John Priola, an Italian living in Little Rock, was arrested in that city Thursday upon a charge of sell ing liquor without a license. Priola was in trouble in this city a few months ago. It was alleged that he assisted Frank Rose, another ltal- ian. who suddenly left Pine Bluff and placed, or sold, as Priola claimed, his business in charge of Priola, while his creditors attached the stock. The matter was fiually SC tied and Prlola released.
