CHANDLER ON CARNEGIE.
The senator scores the Iron Found
er's Small Americanism.

Senator William E. Chandler OF New
HAMPSHIRE who despises sham, eXcoCi-
ates in characteristic fashion Andrew
Carnegie. who has been bitter in his op-
position to expansion.
Mr. Carnegie" said Mr.. Chandler yes
terday. was opposed to the war with
Spain; he opposed the freedom of Cuba;
he was opposed to the capture of the
Philippines. and now he denounces the
President and his supporters in this coun-
try who have made Spain relinquish her
sovereignty in the Philippines as she has
done in Cuba and Porto Rico. Why Goes
not Mr.. Carnegie. so prolific in alyl~e and
denunciatiCn in connection with questions
that have not yet been reached, plainly
save ii that is what he means, that the
Philippines should be given back TO Spain
and that that cruel and bloody nation
should be allowed TO repossess harse!f OF
the islands by the slaughter Of Aguinaldo
and his patriotic followers and associ-
ates?
If The President were to follow the ad-
vice Mr. Carnegie has given, or advice OF
similar character from any one else, he
would receive the execration OF the friends
Of humanity the whole world over. Not
following it he can disregard both the
fierce criticism and the silly patronizing
are manifested by Mr. Carnegie.
Mr.. CaTDegle'S whole contention ap-
pears to be that the President must either
brave thefErath of the European powers
by closing the doors of the Philippines,
or he must give mortal offense to Mr..
Carnegie by keeping his iron products. out
CT Manila until they pay duty.
Mr.. Carnegie should possess his mind
in peace. No one question has yet been
decided by the President or by the Treaty
of Peace. except that the Spaniards shall
leave the Philippines; that the United
States shall take possession, and during
military occupancy tariff duties shall be
collected from all nations alike The
whole question of the future is TO be de-
teTmined by Congress.
''All the opponents of the freedom OF
Cuba, all the small Americans who mourn
ed over Dewey's victory at Manila, all
who have tried to prevent any military
occupancy of any Spanish colonies, should
speak with modesty and reserve when un-
dertaking TO criticise and condemn what
they suspect will be the policy of the Ad-
ministraticn after Spanish sovereignty,
contrary TO their wishes, is removed as
completely from the Philippines as it has
been from Cuba and Porto Rico

TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1899.
The Situation nt HoIIo.

Naturally there is great anxiety in Off
cial circles over the situation in the Phil
ippipes. nothing definite having been re-
ceived from the expedition Of General MIL
Ter since the message announcing the de-
Fav OF tweuty-four hours TO enable the FL
ipinos in possession of IloilO 10 communi-
cate with Aguinaldo. That leader was stlll
absent when the latest news came-whether
from a fear OF arrest or to escape press
ing demand for the surrender Of lloiio and
the SPANISH prisoners or 10 force the
Americans 10 assault the native army at
that place. can only be guessed. Much de-
pends on the nature OF the instructions IS
sued TO General Otis, and We can only hope
that the President is anxious enough 10 in
sist on taking personal part in the mat
ter.
At this moment we can only repeat that
j: General Miller is armed with author Jy
10 exercise his own judgment, there VIII
be no conflict until il is beyond doubt
that no other course is open. There has
been a grave mistake in the whole poicy
in the Philippines since Admiral Dew y
ceased to command the situation. With
The landing OF the army the Secretary OF
War has been the sole director OF affairs,
and his policy of delay, which was SO
fatal in the matter OF transports and
medical supplies for the Santiago eXpedi-
tion. has been applied to the cultivation
OF the confidence and good VIII of the
Filipinos. The Spaniards and the Ger
mans, as well as the ambitious Agu n
aldo. who is said to be under German ad-
vice. have been free TO poison the native
mind against the Americans and 10 make
ala SORTS Of misrepresentation as 10 the
ultimate purposes OF our Government
There has been no American charged with
the duty Of rcfuting such libels and
persuading the natives that our chief
aim is their welfare. The Administration
has been repeatedly but yainly urged to
send persons who are known TO and trust
ed by them TO assure them of our deter
mination TO extend to the islands Jhe
same liberty that is enjoyed in the States
II is the opinion of General Merritt, whC
says Admiral Dewey agrees with him, tha
the FiIipinos are susceptible 10 the influ'
ence OF kindness and that when they un.
derstand the motives OF the Americans
they viii welcome their administration
Other persons who are acquainted with the
simple character OF the natives who are I.o
savages. have the same belief that W,
have more to gain by kindness than bl
force in dealing with them.
General Miller must be relied upon Il
exercise a wise discretion in the premises
The situation is really in his hands.

ISraeI cEd Zicn,

The Zionist aspirations Of our Hebrew
fellow citizens are being criticised by
section Of the American press in a way We
are not able TO approve. For instance, it
is held by some papers that the movement
10 establish Jewish state on the ruins OF
the Mussulman power in Palestine is fool
ish because the Jewish people have all the
liberty in this country that anybody else
has. and hence ought TO be satisfied with
America as their Zion. It seems TO Us that
nothing in the way of argument could be
more senseless.
The American Jew, like the American
Methodist or Mennonite, enjoys religious
freedom and the right TO stand boldly forth
as the peer of any American citizen. This
is a country Of religious freedom and ought
10 be one Of freedom from religious preju-
dice, but it is not A Roman Catholic like
Theodore Roosevelt would have poor
show TO be elected President of the United
States today, and we doubt il the best Jew
in the land could be nominated to the
Presidency b. any political party. In short,
we talk great deal more about our na-(
tional non-sectarianship than We practice;
but that topic is merely by way of diver
sion.
The Hebrew people are scattered all
over the world. 1t is TO their credit that,
Notwithstanding their segregation and
the persistently oppressive action of So
called Christian states and communities
they have been able TO preserve their
blood, their faith and the national tradi-
tions of time when they were the princes
of the world, the wise men and the great
merchants, while the ancestors of the An
glo-Saxon race were clad in the untanned
skins of beasts and eating raw meat.
Expelled from their fair estate by the
incursions of barbarians, is it any Won
der that the Jews, or many of them, ever
look forward 10 a time when the land of
their origin and love shall be freed from
the curse of the Turk and returned to the
domination of the people who once made
IL the garden spot of the world. and the
centre of ancient enterprise and COM
merce?
From every point Of view that We can
see, it would be good for civilization and
humanity if the dream of the Zionists
could be realized A Jewish state in Pal
estine would offer a home TO the millions
of the faith and race who are trodden down
by the bigotry and jealousy of European
communities and governments. American
Jews would not be compelled to denounce
their citizenship nor to emigrate; but
there would be city of refuge" for. their

SENATOR HALE HAD
AN ISLAND TO SELL
GOVERNMENT REsusED TO BUY
1t Was Suggested as Site for a
COaling station, Hut Did Not
Meet Requirements.

Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, is bitter
ly opposed TO expansion. He opposed the
war with Spain and is now leading the fight
in the Senate against the Treaty OF Peace
But while the Senator from Maine is
fighting expansion, he is not opposed to
deriving personal advantage from the re-
suits of the war
Senator Hale is part owner of an island
near Bar Harbor. and recently, when the
Navy Department wanted cCaling sta
ton in that neighborhood. Senator Hale
saw his opportunity.
That he failed 10 sell his island TO the
administration was not his fault.
When the Navy Department detailed

to visit points along the coast suitable as
