Duty as to Philippines.

A Fairmont special, published this
morning, containing conservative and
logical expression of opinion as to the
policy Of the government with refer
ence to the Philippines, and the duty of
the good citizens OF the country in the
premises, will doubtless be read with
much interest. because of Its timeliness
ana the frank manner OF Its wording.
Hon. John w. Mason, whose chief char
aeteristic is the judicial manner in
which he discusses public matters APP
peallng to the loyalty of the American
people, their obligations and RESPONSE
bllitIes, has taken up this subject, not
in a partisan spirit, but in a reasona-
Bile one, and points out clearly two or
three important principles involved and
to the direct concern of the honor and
credit of the United States before the
civilized powers of the world.
Mr.. Mason's showing of the duty Of
the people to hold up the hands of the
President in the endeavor to restore
peace and order in the Philippines, just
as much there as In Cuba. and to make
government which win sustain them
after they are restored. is on the same
line as the expressions so often made
lately by the President himself and his
supporters.
Referring to the position OF the IAN
t!-imperiallsts." self-styled, he shows
their position to be as vulnerable as
that of those who, in like manner. con-
dernned Llncoln's course, and declared
his policy to be tyrannical and I'M
American, Just as the League, with
headquarters at Boston, is doing to-
day in the present case. The govern
ment is no more in a position to retrace
Its steps with honor now than It was
then. 1t Is pointed out that 1t is now
the duty Of all to give the President
a hearty and generous support, and
that the man does great wrong to his
country who discourages enlistment. In
dulges in useless criticism, and who, in
any manner, gives aid and comfort to
the enemy. 1t is no time to discuss
the question of disposins of these Is
lands or relieving this country from the
burdens their occupation may entail.
The Idea is. first, redeem the obliga-
tion to create peace and order, and
then let those who may believe it isn't
wise to annex suggest to Congress and
4he President a practical manner Of dis
posing Of them in a way which would
not sacrifice the honor Of the Nation
This idea is strong. and has been sug-
Eested by our wIsest statesmen and
military heroes and authorities. There
has yet been no suggestion made by
the opponents of the intention Of the
administration and conduct of the sup
preston of the rebellion for a substi-
tute for the present policy that is logi-
cai, or would reflect credit on the
country. Something may develop. but
It has not been brought forward yet in
a way that has met with popular ia
Yor.

ed that almost unprecedented prepara-

the business interests OF Wheeling to

that, Providence permitting good

The assurances that thousands of

a fact that is apparent to every one
who has observed the arrangements
that are being made, and read the
truthful details that have been given
by the local and neighboring press.
Every citizen Of Wheeling will be
proud Of the record that will be made
and those who have contributed so lib

traotiveness Of the programme will not
regret their generous actions. on be-
half of the metropolis of West Virginia
