DEMOCRATIC SOPHlSTRY.

The Statesman screams, Treason
to sympathize with a poor, struggling
people battling for freedomp' Free
dom to do what? To kill. STAY and
devour? When Dewey captured Ca
vite last summer, the Filipinos COM
planned nightly because he would
not permit them to loot the place. In
spite Of his vigilance, they did steal
everything loose. Those Tagals are
the most notorious thieves and rogues
on earth.
In another issue, our misnamed
neighbor compares those same Tagals
to the Revolutionary fathers, and in
sists that III present position is as
unjust as would have been that of
France had she attempted to assume
dominion over US. By such reasoning
the assumption is that the Tagals are
the equals of the men who won our
liberties; that Aguinaldo is a second
Washington and that Agoncillo is an
other Franklin. Like expressions are
heard from other Democrats. AS the
stream never rises higher than the
fountain, the assumption is that the
Tagals are the equals of the progeni-
tors of such individuals. 1t may be
so. For our part, we beg to be ex-
cused. The same maudlin sympathy
for criminals is occasionally heard. A
ase in point is that of the negro,
Wade Grant, of Parkersburg, accused
OF assaulting white There
were some hairbrained women, with
no more sense than a rabbit, who in
sisted upon visiting the brute in Jail
and bestowing upon him sweetmeats
and flowers. They are considered by
all right-minded people as more de-
PRAYED than the criminal.
The position of such Democrats is
assumed in the hope that they may
delude u%ninformed persons and gain
a political advantage. They willingly
sacrifice national honor and integrity.
They prostitute their sense OF right,
ofjustice. of the duty We owe to civil
i%zatiou, Christianity and all that tends
to true enlightenment to gain a tenn
porary partisan advantage.
Such sophistry was INDUCED in by
like characters in relation to the abor-
igines in this country. They failed
to stay the march OF progress. Our
forefathers bravely shouldered the
white mans burden" and the result
is the g~randest and most glorious ma
ton the world has ever known.
To all doubters of the justice of the
course of the Administration. we most
heartily commend the splendid speech
of Senator-elect Beverage, of Indiana,
published on the first page of the
Herald. Where the flag leads all true
patriots follow.
