And he cries as II he'd never

Mr.. CLEVELAND SARCASTIC.
Says II FilipinOs Object to American
Plans They Should He
Slaughtered.

PRINCETON, y. j., Jan. 5-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. in reply to the request of
representative of the Associated Press
for an expression on the question of ex-
pansion, said
Il do not care to repeat my views con-
cerning the prevailing epidemic of imperial
ism and territorial expansion. Assuming,
however. that my IDEAS on the subject are
antiquated and unsuited to these progress
sive days. it is a matter of surprise to me
that the refusal of certain natives of our
new possessions to acquieSce in the benef-
and management should in the least dis
turb our expansionists. This phase OF the
situation ought not to have been unan-
ticipated, nor the incidents naturally grow
ing out of it overlooked. The remedy Is
obvious and simple. The misguided inhab-
itants of our new territory who prefer
something different from the plan for their
control which We propose. or who oppose
our designs in their behalf, should he
slaughtered. The killing of natives has
been a feature of expansion since eXpan-
sion began. and our imperalistic enthn-
siasm should not be checked by the pros
pectiye necessity of destroying Il few
thousand or a few hundred Thousand Fill
ipinos. This should only be regarded
one stage in n transcendentally great
movement, a mere incident in its progress.
OF course. some unprepared souls would
of ChristianiZing them but surely those OF
our clergymen who have done so much 10
encourage expansion could manage that
difficulty"

joyed by all present.
The fact that Armour Rose had been
drawn during the afternoon took away
from the interest during the evening, but
every one present was out for a good time,
and they had it. There were many calls
for turn of the wheel during the course
of the evening. and they were invariably
complied with. And during the intervals
the judges and the newspaper men in
dulged in joke and song. The latest. called
the Convention Hall Two-Step." and
which scored a big hit. was sung to the
tune of "Just One Girl" 1t goes:
Just one hail. oh. there's just one hall:
Everybody says that there's Just one hall.
Just one hall. after the ball.
There's only one. and that's Convention
hail.
The above was sung with great success
and it was repeated time and again. And
after it was done, the chorus Joined in on
all of the popular songs of the day, and
after 1t was all over, and the Kings and
Queens of the Range had the enviable dis
tinction of having drawn the first and the
d ciai t1 club With "Cien f"ha and HaIlWeiI rep
resenting. entertained all of those who had
contributed to the success of the affair at
the Kansas City Club. where a pleasant
hour was spent.
One of the most enjoyable features of the
evening was the ovation given the name
of Mrs. Lillian Gregory, the donor of a box
of choice flowers and a box of cigars for
the men who had labored SO hard for the
success of the undertaking. and for the
press Mrs. Gregory is the editor of the
Kings and Queens of the Range.
The distribution of the prizes will begin
as soon as arrangements can be made. 1t
is probable that they win be given out as
termination has been arrived at in regard
to this. 1t will be announced later on.
