For Representative TO Congress,
AMOS L. ALLEN.

, It Is curious fact that a good many
of our imperialist newspapers are con-
demning in very strong terms England s
invasion of the Transvaal. One would
naturally suppose that newspapers which
are opposed to showing the least consid
GRAFTON to the Bilipinos would not bU
likely to find any occasion or sympathy
for the Beers. The reasons which the
English give for interfering with the
Beers will bear favorable comparison
with those that are urged for subjugating
the Filipinos. A great many English
are residents of the Transvaal, and Eng
land claims, not without good reason,
that they ara treatsd unfairly by the
Beers by being deprived of all olitioal
rights, though they are heavily taxed and
pay large percent of the expenses of the
government. To redress these wrongs
Is as good o reason for going to war as
to compel the acceptance of our sovsr-
eighty by people whom we purchased
without consulting their wishes. Very
likely the English are not unmindful Of
the fact that there are very valuable gold
mines in the Transvaal, and this doubt
less has quickened their zeal in behalf
of the Outlanders; but we seem to recall
that it has been occasionally pointed out
TO us that the Philippine islands will be
of great commercial value to us, and we
have heard 1t alleged that the Pacific
coast was villa for the retention of the
Philippines for the trade and commercial
advantages there were in them. Possibly
our desire to do the Filipinos good has
been quickaned somewhat by the oonsid-
Grafton that at the same time we may ne
able to do ourselves good. To exploit
the Philippines for trade is no better than
to exploit the Transvaal for gold. 1t is
claimed on our part that Aguinaldo
represents only q small fraction of the
people of Luzon, and that what he would
set up would not be a republic in the
real sense but despotio oligarohy.
Precisely the same claim is made regard
ing Kruger and his Duschmen, and with
hotter evidence to back 1t up, for it is
ell known that the foreigners in the
ransvaal, made up largely of English
men. gu tnumber the Beers, though the
latter completely control the government.
England parleyed a good deal longer
with the Beers than we did with the
Silipinos, and she would have parleyed
longer if the Beers had not slapped her
In the face. The government that the
British will institute in the Transyaal
after it is conquered is sure TO be as good
as that which we shall institute in
Luzon, and probably better in many ways
than that which exists there now, SO
that civilization is as likely to lie pro-
moted by the conquest of the Beers as by
that of the Filipinos.
If Britain is doing a rightsous act in
the Transvasl she is no less to be com.
mended because there are large number
Of voters in this country who hate her and
everybody that sympathizes With her.

WHAT the $40, 900, 900 WAS FOR.

Judge Day, who was president of the
Americans peace commits ion that nego-
tiatei t5e treaty with Spain, has recently
written a letter in which he affirms
that the Philippine islands are net in
our possession by right of conquest but
by purchase. His language Is, "By the
cession for a consideration we obtained
an indisputable title which must be re-
spected by ali other nations" And he
further says:
1t was not claimed by the American
commissioners that the United States
HAD right to the Philippine islands as a
matter of conquest. TIE United States
has never undertaken, so fer as / know.
to wTest from foreign country lands
or possessions simply by, right OF con .
quest. Had we been disposed 10 do so il
mus Re remembered that we were in
possession only of the city, bay and har-
Tor of Manila under the protocol OF Au-
gust IL, 1898, providing that the Unit3d
Stltes should occupy and hold the same
pending the conclusion OF a traty OF
pence which should determine the control,
disposition and government of tie Phil.
tppires TIE caItIIe after the Il gning 81
the protocol by General Merritt and his
forces, whatever it's legal effect may have
beens included no mere territory than
we were entitled to hold under the PRO-
tccal.
VS. do nat think the question whether
the Philippines came to us by conquest
or for money consideration is of much
Importance. The only rsason we call
attention to Judge Days let.er is ia
point out that his ideas on the subject
differ very materially from those OF at
lelst ole other commissioner. A few
months after ths peace treaty was siyred
Commissioner Whitelaw Reid discussed
it m a speech at the Lotus club of New
YORK. There is nothing in his speech
that indicates that his view was that
the Philippines had been oeded to US 'sfor
consideration, while thers is good
deal to show that his idea was that
they had come to use 1t either as the fruit
Of conquest or as an indemnity. In this
sresch he said;
