ONE THING AT TIME.
And That Thing Is TO Subdue the
Filipinos at Once.

Savannah News (Dem.).
On the Philippine question the great
majority of the people, we think, agree
with ex-senator Gray, of Delaware, who
was quoted in our dispatches Yesterday
as SAVING that after we have established
our authority in the islands it will be time
enough to talk of government for them.
He believes IN doing one thing at time.
1t is all well enough to discuss the
question of imperialism. 1t may be the
purpose of the leaders of the Republican
party to attempt to radically change the
character of our government, but it will
not be possible to get the people deeply
interested in the question of imperialism
and miltarism until the dignity and pres
tige of the American name have been
fully maintained in the Philippines.
1t is safe to say that the great majority
OF the American people are against any
thing like Imperialism, and they don't
want the Filipinos oppressed, but they
are not ready yet to discuss the kind Of
government that should be provided for
them. They will not be ready until we
are ina position to give them the kind of
government We decide they ought to
have. We believe that ex-senator Gray
spoke the sentiments of the great majority
of the people on the Philippine question
in the interview fom which we have
quoted.

HIS THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Tie President Says He Tied Otis Hands
at the Outset in Manila.

pittsburg, August 3l.-In his speech to
the returned Tenth Pennsylvania VoIun-
teer Regiment at Schenley Park, Presi
lent Mckinley said in referring TO the
situation in the Philippines at the time
the treaty of peace with Spain was pend
ing in the Senate:
The world will never know the restraint
of our soldiers-their self.control I'M
der the most exasperating conditions.
For weeks, subjected to the insults and
duplcty of the insurgent leaders, they
preserved the status quo, remembering
that they were under an order from their
government to sacredly observe the terms
of the protocol in letter and spirit, and
avoid all conflict except in defence, end
ing the negotiations of the treaty of peace.
They were not the aggressors. They did
not begin hosti!itles against the insurgents
pending the ratification of the treaty OF
peace in the Senate, great as was their
justification, because their orders from
Washington forbade it.
II take all the responsibility for that
direction. Otis only executed the orders
of his government, and the soldiers, under
great provocation to strike back, obeyed
Until the treaty was ratified we had no
authority beyond Manila city, bay and
harbor. we then had no other title to
defend, no authority beyond that to main
tain. Sp9in was was still in possession
of the remainder of the ar
chipelago. Span had sued for peace.
The truce and treaty were not concluded.
"The first blow was struck by the in
surgents. Our kindness was reciprocated
with cuelty, our mercy with q Mauser.
The flag of truce was invoked only to be
dishonored. Our soldiers were shot down
when ministering to the wounded Filipi-
nos. Our humanity was interpreted as
weakness, our forbearance as cowardice.
They assailed our sovereignty and there
will be no useless parley, no pause, until
the instruction is suppressed and Amer-
can authority acknowledged and establish
ed. The misguided followers in rebellion
have only our charity and pity. AS to
the cruel leaders who have needlessly sac
riliced the lives of thousands of their peo-
Pile, at the cost of some of our best blood,
for the qualification of their own
ambitious designs, I will leave to Others
the ungracious task of justification and
eulogy."

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Some of our Democratic contempora-
ries who are supporting the candidacy OF
Governor Tyler for the United States Sen
ate are very solicitous abont having an
expression of the will of the people in the
election of a Senator. They treat the
question, however, from narrow and
partisan standpoint, as if part of the
people-the Democracy--is the entire peo-
pie. They make 6 great to do about the
machine methods of Martin and his fol-
lowers to defeat the Democratic people in
their efforts to secure the election of Gov
error Tyler to the Senate, but there the
indignant protest ends. Nothing is said
about the outrages of the machine against
thousands of Republicans in Virginia,
who are not only not permitted to express
their choice for Senator, but who are
fraudulently prevented from exercising
any voice in shaping the legislation of our
State.
1t Will be remembered that $4,000
votes, in round numbers, were counted 70
Mckinley in 1896 in Virginia. There can
bo No douht that the Democratic machinei
by the free use of the Walton law, robbed
the Mckinley electors of enough votes to
have given the State to the Republicans
but for the robbery. By frauds, practiced
in every Congressional District, the Re-
publican party was made minority
party, though honestly the majority party.

But admitting that Mckinley had all the
votes counted for him that he received, it
will be seen that there were 1876, 900 Re-
publicans in the State-a pretty large part
of the people. Yet, in 1897, when Cover
nor TYLER was elected Chief Executive Of
the State, that large number of Repnbll-
cans were unable to eject more than three
or four members of the House Of Delegates
and one member of the State Senate. The
machine did its work most etiectually
then, either by discouraging Republicans
from running candidates or defeating their
candidates by fraud when they did make
trace. 1t is also significant that Cover
nor Tyler was triumphantly elected,
though he received only about one hun.
dred thousand votes, hardly one third Of
the votes in the State. There was no eX-
preston Of the will OF the people, nut III
that election the Republicans were the
ones who suffered.

MANILA NOT DEADLY.
A Chicagoan Writes that Americana
Can Live There in Comfort IL
They Have Means.

The private soldiers lot in the Phil
ippines may not be bed OF roses, but
reports from civilians connected with
expeditions make Manila out very de-
cent sort of place. A Chicago boy,
whose connection with the government
gives him a pull" writes that life is
far from unpleasant in our new pos
sessions.
He and two other Americans are
keeping house. They have a Chinese
cook, who does all the marketing.
They pay him $40 o month, which is
equal to about Sos in American money.
and he feeds them we'll and makes his
profit out of this sum. Each of the
Americans had "blacl1 boy" to whom
he pays $3.50 month. These boys do
pretty much everything, except eat
and sleep and breathe, for their mas
tiers. Before the Americans arrived
their wages were $1.5O, but prices have
risen. Everything is bought fresh in
the morning and eaten the same day,
In order not to attract flies and ants.
Frozen meat was delivered at eight
cents pound.
The weather Is not terrific, at least at
certain seasons In May, for instance,
at six p. m. the mercury always stood
close to Sc. During the night it went
down to rs. At noon it was from 81 to
81, and something like rs to 100 in the
sun. Americans have to be careful
about exposure in the middle of the
day, but the writer said he had been out
with camera without injurious effects
ANY indulgence in alcoholic drinks,
Notwithstanding the prevalence Of the
whisky and soda habit, is dangerous
Good water is hard to get, however
The city water is boiled and filtered,
and even then is used only in coffee and
for cooking. Dependence is placed al
most entirely on bottled waters.
Az to dress, all sorts of costumes are
in evidence. Three white suits day

common American "boiled shirt" with
stiff bosom, can be worn outside The
trousers. a collar IS necessary, but no
necktie. Hats and shoes are white.
Mosquito nettings are vitality impor-
tant in every establishment.
The conclusions of the writer seem
to be that the American can live in
comfort in Manila, provided he has
means and takes care of hinself.-Chi-

Pertinent Facts for Critics.

indianapolis journal" Rep).
Those who are criticising President Nc
Kinley for prosecuting the war in the Phil
ippines and demanding That he withdraw
our troops from the islands show their ig-
norance OF the situation. His oath of Of
fee makes it his duty to prosecute the
war, and he would be subject to impe ,ch-
ment il he hauled down the flag and with
drew our troops from American territory
before rebels in arms. 1t is not necessary
for him to have any policy regarding the
future government or reconstruction" of
the islands, but it is incumbent on him to
suppress the instruction. Congress,
when it meets, can, if it sees fit, order the
withdrawal of our troops and the surrend-
er of islands to the natives, but Mr.. Nc.
Kinley has no more right to do go, with
out the authority of Congress, than Mr..
Lincoln had to let the Union be broken up
without making an effort to prevent it.

Where Gold Democrats Stand.

Boston Herald, Ind. Dem.).
Those who are arranging the programme
of the approaching demonstration of the
Democratic silverites down in Rhode
island are pointing with pride to the con-
version to their ranks of Thomas ]. Gar
gan, who was prominent gold Democrat
in the last national campaign. 1t is said
that MIR. Gargan's flop is due to his op-
position to the policy of territorial expan-
sion, and that he prefers Bryan and silver
to Mckinley and expansion or imperial
ism. No doubt Mr. Gargan represents
others who are of the same way of think
ing, but it is to be borne in mind that
changes like these are Offset, at least to
some extent, by Democrats who believe
in the policy of expansion, and who will
20 as far in one direction in order to give
force to their views as the auti-expansion
Democrats will 60 in another. We have
some CONSPICUOUS examples of this latter
tendency among Democrats right here in
Boston. The expansion issue is undoubt-
eddy destined to make more or less
radical realignment of parties, but the
gains will not be all on one side, or the
losses either.

"YELp ME-, cAssIus, OR | sINK~

"HElP NE, CASSluS' un OHM
The Goebelites in Kentucky must be
seriously alarmed, if we are to judge from
the help they are soliciting. The Bristol
Tribune of recent date said: civilian
Z Rhea has received letter from ex-Sen-
ator 10. C. S. Blackburn, Of Kentucky
urgently requesting him to make son
speeches for the Democratic ticket tins
fall
IfRbea has been invited to Kentucky
TO participate in the campaign we venture
the opinion that it is for some other pur-
pose than to supplement the redundant
oratorv of the Kentucky Colonies. 1t is
we'll known fact that the Kentucky cleo
ton law, of which Goebel was the author
and patron, was copied from the. vie
election law of Virginia, with few infAsg
NOUS features added. 1t is also believed
that Goebel's only hope of securing hi,
election as Governor of Kentucky is IL
awaiting himself of all the opportunities to
practice fraud made possible by his cleo
ton law. That law, like the one In N'r'
pinia. discloses more opportunities as it Ii
longer studied, and with an experienced
hand TO use it becomes almost perfect
machine for fraud. The Goebelites realize
these facts and are, no doubt, anxious to
secure the assistance of one so well trained
as Rhea-one who has made national
reputation as an organizer and manlpula-
tor. They have heard of his work as all
expert, as disclosed by the Congressional
election in the Ninth Virginia District lasl
year; and, perhaps, he has been commend
ed TO their favorable consideration by
Tom Martin, the boss of the Machine In
this State.
If the record in the contested election
case of James A. Walker VS.. William F
Rhea has been placed before Goebel and
his friends they have, no doubt, been i'm
pressed with the superior qualifications o.
Rhea to open training school in Ken
tuci;v, with James A Stone and w. S
Cox as assistants. The Gobelites, whose
ONLY hope of success depends upon the
tricks that can lie worked under the cleo
ton law which is modelled upon that oil
Virginia, would learn some very sharp
methods from the accomplished trio.
They could be taught how to bring voters
in from another State and use them; how
to vote substitutes for dead men; how to
get fictitious names on the registration
books. Then they could be taught 'the
red and blue pencil" trick; and how to
use various tokens and signs to notify out
side buyers Of votes as to the way voters
have voted. The "sack coat'pocket trick
and the "stub pen" trick could also be
fully explained, together with, perhaps, a
hundred more that were practiced in this
district last Fall. One would suppose
that the Goebelites are particularly well
trained in the art Of shooting, as eviden-
ced by the record of Goebel; but Rhea and
Stone could explain to them how to shoot
a man and use the plea of self defence, a
la Davis.
This "Cassius has lean and hungry
look, and those who favor honest elec
tons in Kentucky will find "such men are
dangerous" in their peculiar way.

Inasmuch as the Three Tailors of Tooley
Street resolved certain important things
in the name eve, the people Of England"
there is no earthly reason why the "anti-
imperialists" of the United States should
not extend thier protecting influence over
the destinies of the nation on a somewhat
similar plan. The report from Washing
ton, therefore, that they are about to
form brand new political party, with all
the modern improvements, is not at all
alarming. They should go ahead by all
means. Their performances would bright
en- up the gloom very decidedly, To help
the scheme along "The Mail and Ex-
press begs to offer the following suggest
ions:
FOR PRESIDENT.
w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, if not other
wise engaged.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Edward Atkinson, of Massachusetts,, if
he can get the permission of Emilio Agui-
naldo.
PLATFORM.
Resolved, that the American eagle is a
buzzard.
Resolved, that we hereby denounce the
Purtans for not obtaining the consent of
the governed.
Resolved, That Admiral George Dewey
shall be tried ty courtmartial for his dis
courteous treatment of the Spanish fleet
in Manila Bay.
Resolved, That the American Soldiers
now operating in the Philippines shall be
brought home and slapped into Jail for
the reckless use of firearms.
Resolved, that the man who says Agui-
naldo is a treacherous wretch is no gentle
man.
Resolved, that the present Adminstra-
ton has fractured the southeast corner Of
the Declaration OF independence and lore
ed the American Constitution into innocu-
Gus desuetude.
Resolved. that we do now take up col
lection.
This is merely an outline platform, but
it fairly represents the principles to which
the "ant-imperalists are committed. As
for the ticket suggested above, it is lun-
ming over with voice and sympathy, and
would sweep Dedham, Mass, and the
Third Ward of Lincoln, Neb., like prai
RE fire in August. The new party can't
get into the field too soon. The bars are
down, the clover is knee high and the
newcomer can cavort and be glad. Make
ready, everybody, to welcome the little

JUST SAVED FROM DEATH.
tive After 1t Had Pinned
Down Two Men,

A thrilling incident occurred recent
~ at the 3. & o. S. w. railroad bridge
over Hogan creek, Lawrenceburg, Ind.
Two men, reports the Cincinnati En-
quirer, named Hatch and Powell were
walking across the bridge when train
No. 4, known as the Newspaper Train,"
from st. Louis, came rolling down upon
them. 1t was too great distance from
end to end of the bridge for the men
to escape in that way, and to leap from
1t meant fall of 60 feet and almost GER
tain death. To lie down on each side Of
the track was almost sure death, as
there was not room enough. In terror
the two men laid down by the side Of
the rails Frank Evans, the engineer,
saw the men and reversed his engine
with such promptness and applied the
brakes with such energy that the fly
Ing train was brought to O sudden
standstill. 1t was none too soon, for
when the engine stopped the two men
lay pinioned, bruised and bleeding, be-
meath the ponderous engine that held
them fast in the very jaws of an i'm
pending death. Evans called out to the
helpless men: Keep quiet, will save
you," then slowly backed the train off
the imprisoned men and off the bridge,
so that they could crawl out of the reach
of further danger Their clothes were
IN rags. but their limbs were nnhroken.
