A STEP IN IMPERIALISM.

The story OF the press censorship in the
Philippines by General Otis has been
given to the country in detail during the
past week through the columns OF the
New York journal, by Mr.. Collins, the
agent OF the American Associated Press
ut Manila. The sum of the indictment is
that the censorship is political and in
tended to deceive the American people.
Experienced correspondents who worked
in war times in japan, Turkey and
Russia and even under Weyler in Cuba
pronounce the censorship of Otis in the
Philippines the most rigid and the most
dishonest that they had ever encountered.
1t is clearly shown that the dispatches
that were permitted to be Sent must be
made to conform to the censor 3 notion
of what the political eXigences in Amer
lea demanded. that public opinion in
America must be manufactured in favor
of the policy OF the administration re-
CARELESS OF truth.
Mr.. Collins charges that there has
been perfect orgie of looting and wanton
destruction OF property by the Americans.
Thus we have in General Otis our first
sample Of mperialstic morals, and it
ought to be enough to prove to all Amer
leans that when we depart from American
ideals and put power for criminal purposes
into the hands of any officer who will
accept the position and execute the or
ders that we may expect them to go to
any length.
Otis government at Manila and his
miserable campaign, is one of the black
est spots in American history. Otis
should be recalled. He is totally unfit
TO represent the american people any
where.
