IN THIS FREE COUNTRY OF OURS

AS it is not the function of an
officer wearing the United States
uniform to criticise foreign Govern
ments, the Navy Department will,
doubtless, put a paddock upon the
lips of Capt. Coghlan.-New York
Sun.
Perhaphs the Sun can show that it
is the function of some United States
officer to put paddock upon the lips
of an American citizen, having a good
social time with his friends.
Perhaps our free speech is limited
by the approval of foreign Govern
ments and tyrants, or by inter-
national diplomacy.
Perhaps navy clerk has full
powers under our constitution to
adjudge any naval officer guilty of
blasphemy, in speaking disrespect-
fully of dignitaries, and punish and
degradge the culprit at his own
sweet Will and William of Germany.
Perhaps our constitutional free
Government is to be superseded by a
Government by diplomacy, or inter-
national courtesy.
Perhaps we should inquire, by our
ambassador to Berlin, in the interests
of international reciprocity, where
the paddock will be put in Germany.

A GOOD MANS MISTAKE.

"To emancipate the slave We gladly
sacrificed the lives of hundreds OF thous-
ands of our soldiers. And now the
American soldier, who should never
shoulder q gun except in righteous
cause, is sent 10000 miles across the
ocean to shoot men whose real crime is
that they wish to be free wish, to govern
Themselves -Bishop Spalding,
The good Bishop of Peoria has per-
mitted the intensity of his anti-ex-
ton of historical facts and distort
his view OF current events. He has no
authority for the statement he makes
on the subject of emancipation. The
war for the Union was not an
J Abolition war. The Abolitionists were
few and far between. They did not
vote at elections, but stood aloof
and made all the troubles possible.
They denounced the Constitution as
the devil" The issue OF 1860 was
not the existence of slavery, but it's
extension into s'fresh fields and
pastures new The Republican
party in the spring of 1861 offered
and the South rejected an amend
ment to the Constitution prohibiting
interference by the Government with
slavery in any State where it then
existed. Slavery was abolished. not
as the object, but as an incident of
the war. So much for the Bishops
| dash into history.
Not entirely inconsistent with his
historical error, but far more re-
gretable than that, is the Bishops
statement of the object and character
of our conflict with Aguinaldo and the
comparatively small faction of the
Filipinos who have adhered to him.
We have sent no soldiers to the
Philippines to shoot anybody, except
on compulsion. Our purpose toward
the ten million inha bitants of those
twelve hundred islands has been as
free from selfishness or greed, as full
of philanthropy, as our attitude
toward the inhabitants of Cuba. Our
soldiers have prevented wholesale
slaughter in Manila and grand
carnival of hideous crimes. This
nation has never performed a more
imperative duty than it has dis
charged and is discharging in sub
DUNG the insurrection in Luzon.
And the Filipinos are nearer to
liberty to-day, nearer to a happy
prospect, nearer to all that makes fol-
the welfare of the people, than they
ever were before. Aguinaldo and his
following are not the people of the
Philippines, do not speak or fight fol
them. Behind him and his few
thousands of marauders stand mil
lions to whom we have undertaken
to give the light of regulated liberty
and better chance in life than they
have ever dreamed of. 1t is possibl,
for the enemies of expansion to max.
our task harder, to add to it's cost il
life and treasure, but they cannot in
duce-they dare not ask-our Govern
ment to evacuate the Philippines
leaving anarchy and bloody diabolisn
to run riot until other nations stel
in and take up our abandoned work
