SPEAKER HENDERSON.

Colonel d. B. Henderson. sometimes
enormously referred to as a general. is
rounding out a long and active career
in congress by his elevation to the po-
sition in which Tom Reed has been
such a. conspicuous personality. Hen
derson has served consecutively for six
teen years. and has grown steadily in
ability, in breadth of mind, in useful
ness, in the esteem Of his constituents
and in the influence of his party.
lie was a young man employed on
his fathers farm in Iowa when the civil
war broke out. David enlisted as pri-
vate in the Twelfth Iowa volunteers
He was elected to a heutenantcy and
went with his reg. ment to join the army
of the Tennessee. At the battle of Co.
rinth he lost a leg. When he recovered
ride horse the governor of Iowa made
him colonel. and sent him back to the
front with the Forty-sixth Iowa regi-
ment. He was brave, chivalrous, but
somewhat impetuous in battle, as he is
in debate. He is a bitter opponent, an
intense partisan, quick tempered and
spiteful, but honest and conscientious,
according to the warp of his preju-
dice.
Whether or not he will be able to keep
cool in the speakers chair remains to
be demonstrated, and upon this will de-
pend his success and popularity to a
considerable extent. His influence upon
national questions will be very poten-
tial, and in the consideration of new
issues and the solution of new problems
he Will have a leading part, although
it cannot well be foretold whether he
will follow his own convictions or yield
to the policies outlined by the national
chairman of his party.
Personally, d. B. Henderson no more
believes in forcible expansion than does
his predecessor, Mr.. Reed. 1t has not
been very long since Colonel Henderson
said: Il look with aversion upon in
creasing the regular army of my coun-
try" This was very emphatic, and
yet expansion by force and arms means
nothing short of a big standing army
Again General Henderson said: Il have
the gravest doubts of the wisdom Of
this country taking the Philippine
islands, to govern them as United
States territory" He is again reliably
credited with saying: IF you ask me
would l enforce government upon the
Filipinos against their will, / answer,
no."
He has been warned that 1.-THE path
OF political preferment is lired with the
bones of party leaders who have OPP
posed the plans of their party in
power" This will doubtless sink deep
into the heart of the new speaker.

WALL STREET LEGISLATION.

At am in favor of the passage of a
Wall street broker, in his latest circu-
lar, which will determine the gold
standard now and forever beyond any
equivocation, and also TO provide that
when greenbacks are redeemed in gold
they should thereafter only be ex-
changed for gold. 1t is not a good thing
to take them up altogether and cancel
them. as they do not cost the govern
ment any interest, and to take them up
and cancel them by substituting bonds
bearing interest in their stead would
be to incur a needless obligation of in
terest. IT an act is passed, as above
suggested, s1Oo,ooO,O00 gold reserve in the
United States. treasury would be quite
ample to provide for any contingency
thereafter"
If the bill agreed upon by the Repub-
lican caucus had been written by Henry
Ciews it would not have answered his
request any better. 1t is g Wall street
measure, out and out, and ought to be
and is entirely satisfactory to the
lnOflty pdTOHS VINO cilp cOupoHS, con-
troll legislation, substitute newspapers
and contract or expand the currency as
it suits their selfish purpose.
But Wall street legislators know the
danger of their system to the country,
they are well aware Of the risks they
run-not In accommodating millions. but
in woodworking the people and keeping
on the blind side of the public while
they are manipulating the finances of
the republic TO suit their own plans and
pleasure. They know that under such
prosperity and panic ebb
and flow in the tide of commerce. and
they fear that the reaction will set in
before they have entrenched themselves
for another presidential term. Beyond
that they care nothing. They will have
neeced the people and lined their own
nests. They will be Independent of the
people and may, as other magnates be-
fore them have done-taken their i'll
gotten fortunes to some foreign land,

SPANISH METHODS ADVISED.

Captain Wells, with the Second Ore
gon in the Philippines. believes that
there is a long struggle in the Philip
pines before us yet: that the natives
will not give up, except temporarily.
and that guerilla warfare will be car
ried on. probably for years. The diff
ficulty of suppressing this kind of out
lawry." he says in an Anaconda STAN
dard interview, consists in the i'm
possibility of distinguishing the men
who engage in it from the peaceable
citizens"
He says that the Spanish way of
holding these people in subsection is
the only correct way. Captain Cen
erai Follvicja adopted the most strin-
gent methods 10 suppress bushwhack-
ing and succeeded. He made the citi-
zens of each neighborhood responsible
for the good conduct OF their neigh
bors''
This, according to Captain Wells, is
"taie correct theory" of governing the
Filipinos. The plan of the Spanish
commander. whose methods we have
condemned as savage and cruel, viii
have TO be adopted by US if we remain
in the islands permanently, or to re-
store order without defining the status
of the natives. The captain general
whose power we destroyed because of
his brutality and the barbarism of his
government followed this plan. When
ever there was an uprising or BUSH
whacl1ing, ''he proceeded to lay waste
the locality where it occurred and to
shoot without trial every Filipino
caught in the bush, regardless of
whether he had arms in his hands or
not. If the bushwhacking keeps up af-
ter the country has been fully occu-
pied by our troops something of this
kind will have to be done to stop it,
1t is to be hoped that this govern
ment will find some way of getting out
of the mess before the American army
is ordered to resort to Spanish tao
tics to preserve order.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Usually there is a great deal of in
terest taken in presidential messages
TO congress. There are a number OF
things that are attracting more atten-
ton nowadays One reason for this is
that the public has grown accustomed
to the words, words, Words and the
wishy-washy policy of Mr.. Mckinley.
People have ceased to listen for the in
dependent utterances of a national
leader when the present chief executive
speaks-it is the plea of an attorney
for political syndicate, and so it falls
upon the public ear.
AS a matter of course, he gives the
pending financial bill his endorsement.
and recommends such legislation as it
embodies. He asks that 1.-The secretary
of the treasury be given additional
power and charged with the duty to
sell United States bonds" in order Ito
support the existing gold standard
He urges upon congress the neces-
sity of making adequate provision to
insure the continuance of the gold
Standard feeling, no doubt, that the
temporary prosperity enjoyed and for
which he takes credit, renders the peo-
pie more Indifferent concerning their
rights than they may be a little later
on.
The presidents great anxiety for the
perpetuity of the single gold standard
and for turning the whole business over
to the king bug of goldbugs, Lyman
Gage. is shown further along in the
message. where congress is implored to
lose no time, but to confer the full and
necessary power on the secretary of the
treasury and impose upon him the duty
to uphold the present gold standard
While the Hanna shipping subsidy
scheme is not mentioned by name, the
project is doomed in a manner that
ought to be entirely satisfactory to
Mark, and yield him a handsome re-
ward as soon as the project is carried
through.
When it comes to trusts, the president
seems to walk around in perDlexity,
gazing upon the evil Matched from the
egg of protection, without knowing
what TO say or do. He merely wrings
his hands and hopes congress will find
some way to satisfy the appetite of the

the people a little until after the next
presidential election.
Relations with Argentina, Austria
Hungary. Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil Co
lombia, Denmark, Santo Domingo, Cen
trsi America. Chile, China, Italy, Sulu
and all creation are reviewed, and con-
sdiar suggestions reiterated. Another
increase in the army is recommended;
pension reforms are apologized for;
friendly relations with Spain are made
the subject of self congratulation; and
his perversion of the record to justify
his course in the Philippines merely
shows to what dire eXtremities the chief
exponent of imperialism has been re-
duced. And the way the president
dwells upon the richness of the prize
shows that all this alleged patriotism !
behind the conquest is avarice in dis
guise.
There is nothing remarkable in the
message. except that the president has
discarded his international mask and
doesn't pretend TO be anything else any
more than a fuil-fledged goldbug. OPP

everywhere, no matter whence it. comes !
or whom it benefits.
