WHY WE CANNOT CONQUER.

New York Evening Post.
The problem of Philippine conquest
is not military one. This country
undoubtedly has the physical force to
make the islands a desolation and call
it peace We can harry their coasts.
We can rayage their fields. We can
drive their fleeing inhabitants to noun
tain Businesses and dash their little
ones against a stone. If 1T is mere
question of brute strengthen money
and men and ships and guns-we can
employ it without limit. We can kill
and burn and DESTROY like Avengers or
God. No one doubts that Mr. Nc
Kinley, in boasting of the new forces
he has got together for bending the
Fihpinos to his will, is only glorying as
fuli-grown man might in his ability to
break every bone in the body of a street
waif. The disparity is too glaring. If
we expect our giants strength to crush
the FilipinOs, we can undoubtedly do 1T,
But what we assert is that it is not a
question of mere force majeure. There
are moral obstacles in our path more
terrible than an army with banners. Ii
we wage a war of determination against
the Filipinos, they viii have invisible
allies, mightier than all the battaliOns
that tread the earth; so that they That
be with them are more than they that
be with us, and we can never conquer
them.
We cannot conquer the Filipinos be-
cause we cannot, as nation, place
ourselves in a pillory to become the
kissing Of mankind; cannot Justify the
bitter taunt of the Spaniard that our
pretended unselfishness and humanity
Were but thinly yelled greed and cruel
ty; cannot give fresh edge TO the sneers
of Germans at our Wanted purpose to
set a captive race free, and to the Gym
icism Of Frenchmen at the expense Of
our mission Of justice and liberty; can
not make our best friends in England
hang their heads ain shame; cannot put
it in the power of the civilized world to
say that our generous professions were
a hollow mockery and our plighted faith
no better than "a harlot's VOW.
We canont conquer the Filipinos be-
cause we cannot march over the dead
bodies of our national leaders and
prophets and heroes; cannot look into
the grave and troubled face of Wash
ington bidding us remember that the
basis of our political system is the
right of a people to make its own gov
eminent, and urging us to exhibit to
the world that too novel example of
people always guided by an exalted JUS
tice and benevolence; cannot III Lin
coins presence ask a just Gods assis-
tance' in the effort to 'best1ide the
necks of people because they will be
better off for being ridden; cannot, with
Mckinley leading us, do what he said
would be an act of criminal aggres-
sion; cannot welcome and applaud
Dewey while going in the teeth of his
saying: Rather than make a war of
conquest on this people, / would up an
Choir and sail out of the harbor.'
We cannot conquer the Filipinos be-
cause we cannot use any Of our historic
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-08-25

battle-cries in the fight against them
cannot allow our soldiers to give ono
countersign of liberty while pursuing
them; cannot arm our officers and M
with the triple armor of a just cause
cannot nerve our troops with a hatred
of the enemy nearly as intense as their
hatred of the cruel and repellant work
they are set to do: cannot look upon n
victory except with shame that il is
won over foenan so unworthy of our
steel. cannot ask Il beaten army to sur
render and trust to our good faith, lest
the taunt be thrown in our face, as it
was in President Schurman's by a Fill
pino envoy, that American good faith
is not thing to be considered seriously.
We cannot conquer the Filipinos be-
cause the country and Congress will not
give the President the money necessary
to pursue his ruthless work; because an
outraged public sentiment will demand
that he quit doing what he went to
war with Spain to stop her doing; be-
cause burdened taxpayers will protest
against being made to pay for shot and
shell to do the work which wise states
manship should be able TO do without
the firing of a gun; because we are too
great q nation 10 ITdnlIle Oh dlle weak,
too free a people to permit chains to be
riveted on another race by our agents
and IN our name, and too jealous a re-
publican commonwealth to see our blood
and treasure poured out in distant lands
for the benefit Of q favored few.
And if, in spite of all, the war of con-
quest and determination be pushed to
its bloody end; if the last Filipino town
goes up in smoke and flame; if the last
armed native is brought to bay in swamp
or pass, and falls under our volleys; it
is not the Filipinos who will be con-
auered; they, even as they die before
the pitiless hail of our bullets, may
well exclaim, Americans, you have not
conquered us, you have conquered your
selves; in our RUIN YOU have pulled
down the pillars of your own temple
of liberty; in beating us down you have
trampled upon your own history and
principles in destroying our republic
you have destroyed your own

MIR. NELL BY HIMSELF

Savannah Morning News.
Mr.. Neil is about the only cotton
man vino thinks that the crop will be a
large one The opinion prevails among
cotton men quite generally that the
crop has been badly hurt In several
of the States by the drought, worms
and rust. The yield is being cut down
also by shedding on an extensive scale.
From what we have seen in the pub
lie prints the opinion among we'll in
formed cotton men is that the crop
will be considerably below that of the

JIM GROW LINE IN COURT,

In the report of the Criminal Court
proceedings, published in this issue Of
the Journal will be noted a motion Of
somewhat unusual character, and yet its
approval by the Judge presiding and
prompt adoption. shows that it was a
motion well made.
The motion was made by d. l.. Ward,
Esq, leading lawyer OF the Newbern
bar, that the white and colored people
who attended the court session, should
be separated and Judge Dossey Battle
promptly made it an order of court that
places should be reserved for whites and
blacks separately in the court room.
This is an order well made, and one
which will be heartily approved by the
public who attend court.
Ii is not merely rule which shall en-
phatically preserve class distinction, but
one which will preserve class comfort.

PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH MEAT.

Some of the people in the Western
towns. where the price Of meat has
heen raised from three to five cents by
the TRUST, are advocating the policy
cent less meat The Chattanooga
Times, in advocating this policy says:
1.-THE people eat too much meat and
TOO little of cereal and other vegetable
foods. A large part of the ills that hu-
man flesh is afflicted by is the result or
flesh consumption, swine's flesh beng
nrolific breeder of disease. hundreds
of patients who go to the best managed
sanitariums in wretched condition, are
cured in n few weeks by being confined
to a vegetable diet, this being supple
nented by sanitary bathing and exercise.
They made themselves sick eating flesh,
the stuffng being accompanied by ply
steal laziness, that brought confirmed
physical torpor with indigestion, erup-
tive skin, constipation, etc. The meat
people eat is not only, as rule, positive
" injurious to them, considered as food
material but it is that much too much
for their stomachs. Let the trust S
meat alone, or at least eat sparingly of
it. and you will at once benefit yourself
and defeat any sculduggery the trust
may be contemplating in the shape of
artifcially high prices.
A few weeks ago, chatting with
prominent railroad official in the West,
this writer heard him say that he had
become almost vegetarian, and he
added: II have a friend in Chicago,
large contractor, who works very hard.
He never eats any meat, and since he
has confined himself to a vegetable diet,
he has been healthier and stronger than
ever"
Less meat and more fruit and vegeta-
bles would insure better health.
