A DIsGRACEFUL WAR.
The Philippine Policy of the PreBS.
dent Is Based Upon
Politics.

The pain and amazement of the Me-
| Sinleyites at the fact that anybody
should be base enough to desire to
make party capital out of their gigan-
tic blundering in the Philippines, is
getting to be such that they can No
! longer contain themselves. They are
| beginning to explode with indignation
and horror. While trying to win votes
for you fellows out of the mistakes we
| fellows have made! Merciful heavens.
was ever such political turpitude heard
of before? Col. Hay was aghast at the
thought, in his letter to the Ohio re-
publieans. It is true that his horror
and disgust were a triffe too plainly
theatric: his starts and gasps and
stares were cleary STACEY; you all
along saw that he would be perfectly
willing to go off and take drink with
the villains when the play was over:
but he already has many imitators, and
we shall hear much more of the un-
speakable conduct of party opponents
in holding republican administration
to account for the colossal failure of its
Philippine policy.
Bear in mind, however, that the OBJ
lection is not to making party capital
gut of the Philippines, as such. 1t is
only to making democratic party cap
ital. The truth is, Mckinley and Han
ma had intended all the political capital
that could be made out of the Philip
pines strictly for themselves. For the
Jar,,oor,te - ;1+nrfaro a11 olai,,, ,nx,
Of it is a pure perversion of a sacred
fund, and the courts should intervene.
An Injunction would, we think. be
granted by any federal judge, restrain
ing Bryan and other democratic ora
tors from so much as mentioning the
word Philippines. The president has
an exclusive property right to all the
party capital which the Philippines can
be made TO yield, and what are we
coming TO if outsiders can break in and
take it away from him? We know what
his adulators would have said if his
plans had not gone SO grievously
wrong. II Aguinaldo had groveied at
his feet; If the Filipinos had hastened
to submit to his usurpation and illegal
proclamation, what a powerful argu-
ment the republicans would have seen
i'll it all for reelecting tie great, strong,
infexible, far-seeing, infallib1e man,
who spake and it was done, who COM
manded and it stood fast. To demand
votes for success in foreign complica-
tions is legitimate; but to, say that
votes should be withheld on account of
the humiliating failure-why, that is
simply monstrous! Men who would do
that would botanic upon mothers
grave and traffic in their country's
shame. This is republican. McKin-
ley, war, if it succeeds, but if it goes
on from one disgrace to another it is a
national war, for which all are respon-
sible, and to support which all citizens
are bound to stand together.-N. Y.

the memorable message to congress
by President Monroe several months
later. In the meantime Canning had in
formed the "Holy Alliance" of the
Concert" of America and England,
adding that England would support
America 10 the full extent of its great
power in upholding the principle later
laid down by Monroe. France at once
withdrew from the conspiracy. and the
other countries gave up the project.
Notwithstanding the courageous and
vigorous policy thus inaugurated, some
presidents have permitted violations of
the doctrine. England soon assumed a
proteetorate over the Mosquito coast.

across Panama became apparent, and

treaty. by which both guaranteed the

to Spain's interference in Mexico and
extended the doctrine to include colo

Republic of Uruguay and took the Falk-

Our civil war Of 1s6l-65 was taken ad-
vantage Of several times 10 establish
American monarchies by European
powers. The heavy Indebtedness owing
by Mexico to the old world financiers
led England. France and Austria to land
armies to enforce payment. President
Lincoln demanded declaration of in
tentions and was informed that no hos
tile intent existed against the govern
ment or territory of Mexico, but it soon
became evident that Napoleon III. in
tended TO establish an empire with
Maximillian as emperor. England then
withdrew her forces and left France
and Austria to carry on the war in
which President Diaz won his military
glory. When our war was over the
United States began massing its mag
nifcent army TO invade Mexico and
France and Austria hastily withdrew in
alarm, leaving Maximillian to meet his
death.
Santo Domingo, the cradle of the
new world" passed from independence
back to the Spanish yoke in 1861. There
had Columbus founded the first set
tlement, established native slavery and
also African slavery when he had killed
off the natives, reducing the population
in Is years from perhaps 100000 to
10000, and soon after to 1900; there
was first cultivated tobacco, cotton, in-
digo, sugar cane and coffee; there was
found the first gold, silver and copper,
the first mint established, and so great
was the wealth of colonists and so lux
urious their surroundings that their
capital was known as the Paris of the
new world. There, too, were the first
revolutions against Spanish rule. On

HARD WORK FOR AMERICAN TROOPERS
In THE PHiLIPPlN NES-THE
NATIVE PONIES.

most part but paths through the jungle,
on each side of which grows the rank
vegetation of a tropical climate, and in
which the crafty enemy finds an easy
hiding place from which to pick off the
troopers with gun or knife, for the
knife in the hands of Filipino is more
to be dreaded than gun.
At night the little outpost, or the
single sentry far removed from the re-
mainder of his comrades, must exercise
the greatest vigilance if he is to escape
the crafty natives. who find it more
profitable to creep upon single man
than it is to meet body of American
soldiers in an open fight.
In this dangerous work the native
ponies with which all three of the troops
are mounted are Of the greatest assist
ance These little animals are seldom
more than Il hands high and weigh
from $50 to 500 pounds. But, small as
they are, they will stand more of the
hard campaigning than any horse the
islands. They are sure-footed, seeming
| II tireless and of the greatest assistance
TO the lonely outpost at night. In a
fight they will stand like rocks while
the troopers rise from their backs, and
when it becomes necessary to run
either to catch the feet-footed natives
or to retreat to escape annihilation,
they travel like the wind. Alright they
scent the presence of foe long before
the troopers can see or hear the ap-
proach of native. and SO are of the
greatest value 10 the sentry or outpost.

| They live and thrive upon rice and
sugar, which is plentiful, and SO saves
much in the way of transportation in !,
country where transportation for sup
plies is one of the hardest problems
commanding officers have to solve.
Truly the Filipino pony has proven n
friend to the American trooper which
he will not soon forget.
The cavalry serving at home would be
surprised to see how little is necessary
for cavalryman in the Philippines in
the way of baggage. A eantesn, a mess
kit and half shelter tent are all thai
il ever carried in the field. The horse
blanket serves for bed and the shelter
tent for a sheet with which to keep OF
the mosquitoes. CHARLES g. cox
