THE PRESIDENT, in his speech to the
q. A. r. in Philadelphia last night, said
the members of that organization in
the war in which they had fought
"were willing to give up their lives for
civilization and liberty" Everybody
at ell familiar with the condition of the
white people of the South before the
war between the States, knows that they
were more civilized. Christianizsd. and
better behaved than they are now; and
as for liberty, that of the negroes has
done them no good, but much harm, as
is now realized even by the intelligent
and unprecedented members of the G
A. r. themselves. Many of the utter
ances of Mr.. Mckinley naturally sug
gest the idea that he is literal fol-
lower of the advice TO take DO heed OF

Ex.SroRErARY BOUTWELL,. at a large

Ex-SECRETARY BOUTWELL,. at a large
an!i-expausion meeting in Boston last
night, said {:
"We are engaged in war with an or
psnized. civilized body of men, who
number twelve millions, possibly, and
who can command fighting force OF
two millions, all our enemies, and
united in opinion and compacted ~
purpose. as we're never the people OF
the United States in any war that We
have carried on. At the end of the
wear of occupation We have gained
nothing that is of value to Us. The
Fiipinos have lost nothing that I'M
pairs their resources for the conduct Of
another campaign"
But, according to the President, whose
election was secured by means of the
money Mr.. Hanna obtained from the
protectionists and monopolists, the war
must 20 on until the last Filipino shall
he mashed" or "crushed", and that
TOO, for the single purpose, as ne an
nounced at its commencement, OF re
lieving a few negro aud scala
wag insurgents in Cuba of the
alleged tyranny of Spanish rule. No
wonder the intelligent people of Bos-
ton. as well as those of all the other
parts of the country, are opposed to the
further prosecution of the war.

THE REELECTION OF Senator Martlu,
as most we'll informed people have
known for year past, is assured. The
asst ned reason for the vain opposition
TO him was mis- alleged objection to the
election of U. S. Senators by the direct
vote of the people, though ne has a.
ways said he would support constitu-
tional amendment to that effect if so
instructed by his State. So far, no op-
position has ever been suggested to the
reelection Of Senator Daniel, though
he says he is opposed to such an amend
meut. Yes, the opposition to Mr.. Mar
tin must have resulted from personal
grounds. Henry Clay, much as he
loved the people, or said he did, not
only wanted legislatures to elect .. 5.
Senators, but even Presidential electors.
He had sense enough to know that men
