The senate's Military Committee
has amended that section in the
House Military bill, which prohib.
its the sale OF Intoxicating liquors
at the canteens, Soldiers Homes
and other military encampments,
Of which we complained in our last
issues. The amendment allows the
sale Of fbeer on all such places. Our
arguments and those Of the Illinois
Stats Zeit4Hg and other German
papers, which we submitted to the
attention OF some OF the leading
members of the Committee, have,
therefore, it seems, had their effect.
Taxing beer so highly, in fact hav-
ing doubled the rate, in order to
pay the soldiers fighting our bat
ties, and then prohibiting those
soldiers from using the article thus
taxed Tor their benefit, was too alb
surd to the members of the Com
mittee, and hence the amendment.
They all know that a glass of beer
will not hurt the soldiers.
4 AS amended the bill reads;
THAT in the csnteens established
under regulations of the Army no
liquors shall be sold, except malt
liquors aud Misunderstanding bev-
erages, and this shall apply to all
encampments and forts and all
premises used for military purpo-
ses by the United States" "

True American Policy.

Let Congress pass a resolution
ordering the President t. stop
fighting the Filipinos and killing
their people by the thousands.
We have no right whatever to
60 to those islands and order those
people. who never have done US
any harm, to submit to our rules
and be governed and taxed by us.
Not even under the Spanish
treaty can we carry on war against
these poor people, because that
treaty is not yet in operation and
complete, and even if signed by the
Spanish, the latter sold US some
thing they did not possess.
Future generations will look
upon this Mckinley war against
the Filipinos as a monstrous
wrong, compared only with the
conquest Of the Alarics, Tanner
lanes and other medieval robber
chieftains.
Itis a cowardlY way to fight peo-
pie, naked and armed only with
bows and arrows, with the latest
improved arms and guns on men
of-war that will shoot eight miles,
and then brag of American brav-
cry; to burn every village you
touch, and, under protection OF
big guns, kill thousands of women
and children, and then boast that
you did not lose a man.
Withdraw the troops and keep
possession Of some OF the cities
until arrangements have been
made with Aguinaldo and other
heads ofthe Philippine people that,
we giving them peace and self
government, they will pay us the
twenty millions which we have to
give to the Spaniards, and make
other friendly commercial arrange
ments with us for the future.
We are sure that the Filipinos
will gladly accept those terms, and
our troops may be home within
two months, our enormous expen-
ses stopped, and peace again bless
those unhappy lands,
Let our pious ministers pray to
the Lord next Sunday from the
pulpits that He may induce Presi-
dent Mckinley to stop this murder
Gus, unjust war. and let the poor,
halt savage people OF those distant
islands look upon the Star Span
gled flag as the banner Of freedom
and not of cruel despotism and
murder. Indeed Mckinley needs
praying for very much. He seems
to be in the hands ofthe Devil. He
no longer acts as a Christian and
he will lead this country into the
clutches Of the EVIL One"

BILE for the scandals that have
brought shame upon the American
name as Russell A. Alger. Until

BlasphemOus Hypocrisy.

In his Boston speech Mckinley
charges fate (Providence7) with
being responsible for his bargain
with Spain to pay 20 millions for
the Philippines, for his making war
upon their people because they
would not be "bene6cently assim-
Hated" and killing in a short time
thousands OF men, women and
children because they fou ght for
their liberty. and with now asking
Congress for more soldiers to finish
them up, that is, exterminate them,
and all this without consent OF Con-
gress, which is supposed to repre-
sent the American people.
1t is fate in McKinley's opinion
that Alger mismaDaged the War
Department, forced thousands of
our soldiers to starve or eat "Alger
beef" and then, instead of punish
ing and ousting Alger from power,
tries to drive from the army all
those, the Commanding General
at the head Of them, who have
dared to testify against Algers
provisions.
There never was a more blasphe-
nous piece OF hypocrisy presented
than in McKinley's Boston speech.
