Briefly stated, the relation of the United
States to the Filipinos is that of a guar
dian. American soldiers are not in the Phil
ippines to Cypress. but to protect and to
encourage the more intelligent and well-dis-
posed to establish local governments and
to protect them in that work. The President
assumes that the Fflipinos are fitted for
self-government, but if he should be de-
oeived regarding the matter the United
States will not permit the violence and
anarchy which have marked the South
American republics to disgrace the Philip
pines and become an excuse for interference
by some other foreign nation.
Everybody except Colonel Bryan and those
who are hunting for a new issue with him
knows that annexation and the permanent
rule of the people of the Philippines is not
contemplated. The trouble with Colonel
Bryan is that he is well-nigh wild with the
desire to be President. He has, at length,
discovered that his 16-to-1 fad is a dead is
sue. Having made this belated discovery,
he is rushing up and down the country to
find another issue. Starting out to oppose
the ratification of the Spanish treaty, and
finding that that policy would be fatal he
assumes that the President proposes to an
mex the Philippines, deny the inhabitants
self-government and proceed to Cypress
them as has Spain. If Colonel Bryan were
in an equable frame of mind he could see
how absurd he is making himself.

There may be good reasons for the pro-
posed payment of the insurgent army in
Cuba by funds furnished by the United
States, to be returned from the customs
duties of the island, but they are not APP
parent to all. Thus far the President, it is
said, has not been convinced that such a
procedure would be wise. If the money is
furnished it will be done to induce the in
surgents bearing arms to cease to do so. AS
the insurgents carrying arms are a menace
to the communities in which they live, the
payment of any sum of money to them will
not be regarded as the settlement of a claim
which they have upon the United States
but as a bounty to induce them to dsband
and seek peaceful pursuits. 1t is true that
it is urged that these insurgent soldiers have
no means with which to re-estabish them
selves in their destroyed homes. This is
very vague. II their homes have been de-
stroyed what has become of their families?
If they cannot support themselves on their
lands, how can they make a living idly car
rying arms? The real objection to this pay
ing off of the insurgent army is that it
will be regarded as an attempt to hire them
to disband peacefully. That might answer
if, when done, it would be ended, but ignor
ant men when once hired to be peaceable
will come up for a second and third INSTALL
ment of wages when they are in need Be
sides the insurgent army was not a reality.
Tt has been valiant at distance, but small
in numbers and quite useless when service
was required. They are soldiers who mus
tered in force for rations, but were not to be
found when blockhouses were to be assailed
at Santiago. There is danger, moreover,
that if they are paid as insurgents they will
forthwith regard themselves as the wards
of the United States for all time.

Tribute to Speaker ConnOr

The house of representatives could
not have made a wiser selection, or one
more gratifying to the people of North
Carolina. Judge Conner is n Of the
states foremost citizens. His traits Of
personal character are most charming.
He is learned without ostentation, dig
nified without austerity and genial
without familiarity. AS a man of abil-
ity he would probably be selected by
our countrymen generally as the fore
most man in the state. His name is the
synonym Of every mainly virtue and
his devotion to North Carolina and its
people is an instinct that aniates his
being. Springing from the rank of the
people he has risen by industry, integ-
rity and native force of intellect to the
highest rank among his countrymen.
He has truly been the architect of his
own fortune and he is, today a beacon
light to every young man in North
Carolina who is struggling with adverse
fortune, to guide and encourage him
in the paths of rectitude and honor
