A Democrat on the Issue.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Wholesale denunciation of the American
spirit which refuses to retreat under fire,
coupled with dedication of matchmaking
Malay scoundrel, is a very bad thing A
large and influential section of the demo-
cratic party appears to be in peril of adopt
ing this policy as campaign issue. Such
a course will be fatal.
The forces of the United States are In
the Philippines. They are going to stay
there and any party which advocates their
withdrawal while Aguinaido and his fol
lowers are in arms against them will be
overwhelmingly defeated at the polls
Nothing be Surer.
Rightly or wrongly. ethically or unethi-
cally, a majority, and a very large ma
joriIy of the American people demand that
such armed resistance be crushed out be-
fore the main issue can be discussed at all
So long there is in the Island of Luzon
a single man who with arms in his hands
detes this nation, 1t is impossible that
there shall be any move toward Philippine
independence. The men who think other
wise, who imagine that the people of this
country Will consent to negotiate under the
shadow of coercion are ignorant of Amer
lean history and of the American honor.

Under ordinary circumstances the freight
traffic flowing through the great lakes of
North America is hardly to be appreciated,
SO silently and uneventfully does it sip
toward the centers of distribution at Chi
cage, Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo. But
let some accident blockade the waterway,
such the choking of the channel at the
500 canal, and the volume of this enor
NOUS business is revealed in its true pro-
portions. An accident of this kind has just
occurred, affordng one Of the grandest
demonstrations of the country's prosperity
which has ever been possible. A steamer
ran her nose into the bank of the canal and
swung her tow around until the channel
was completely obstructed. Hour by hour
vessels arrived on either SIDE seeking pas
sage. Days passed and the blockade grew
to great proportions. until yesterday, when
the obstruction was finally removed by the
| use of dynamite, there were over two hum
bred of the largest vessels navigating The
great lakes waiting their turn to proceed in
opposite directions. Now that the channel
is open the laden ships are racing for the
receiving docks. The season for water
transportation is drawing to a close ard
the steel mills are in serious need of ore
to keep their smeIers and rolls busy for
the accommodation of the rush of orders.
A delay of even three or four days Is seri-
Gus. The loss of half a trip on the schedule
of this splendid fleet of ore carriers just at
this time is q heavy handicap upon the IN
dustry, already crippled by the congestion
of orders. Without some such display of
the lake traffic as this accident has permit
ted the public at large. away from this line
of activity. has no adequate conception of
| the reliance which the steel manufacturers
have come to place upon these great water
ways as means of access to the mines of
| the north. The mineral wealth of northern
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin and of
| the southern portion of Canada is just be-
| ing revealed and developed. The cutting
fof the 500 canal, with its wonderful
| locks, has opened up line of cheap trans
portation with these resources to the great
| enrichment of the country. The cost of
| that undertaking has already far more
| than been met by the cheapening of the
cost of transporting ore and in the conse-
| quent cost of the finished product of the
| mills in the southern centers of manufac-
| ture. With this object lesson in the value
t OF direct water routes along the lines of
| commerce thoroughly understood, it should
| not be difficult for the average citizen to
! appreciate the vast advantages which

Admiral Dewey is now Strengthened out
for home. His departure from Gibraltar
starts him on the last and longest stage of
the journey from Manila to Washington
and ii will doubtless prove the pleasantest
despite the fact that he has met with over
whelming courtesies and attentions ever
since his departure from the scene of his
great victory. For Admiral Dewey is first
of all a sailor and loves the sea. The ship
under way. with her sails spreading or her
engines throbbing. is the sailors type of
life Best of all is the ship speeding to-
ward home, after a successful voyage. The
whaling captain looks forward with JOY to
the last round of his venture the hold
stored with OIL the crew cOntented. the
winds favorable The merchantmen hauls
up his anchor for the last time for the
homeward run content with his prospect,
his ledgers Indicating a prosperous trade
the log reading fair from first to last. But
perhaps the naval commander is the hap
piest of all when, after having struck vital
~ at the enemy of his country. and won
victory certain TO be recorded in history as
among the great achievements of man he
points the Prov of his ship once more to-
ward his native shores. knowing the well
come that awaits him. During the next
two weeks and half Admiral Dewey can
contemplate the pleasures of a sailors life
and compare them with the responsibilities
Of his position. He is surrounded as arc
few commanders His men love him, not
alone because he has succeeded but be-
cause he is just to them, their ideal of
naval commander. And by the time the
ships PROV is entering New York harbor
all preparations will be ready, both in the
metropolis and the capital, to give express
sion to the national spirit, which was
awakened by the splendid achievements of
May /. 1888 and by the magnificent man
ner in which the central figure of that
world-moving episode has borne himself
over since.

In an Interview at Detroit last week
Senator Thurston of Nebraska said:
Il was not an expansionist. but now
am thoroughly convinced that the admins
tration did the only thing possible We
We're at war with Spain We struck at
her most vital polnt-Manila. Once there
We had Spain at our mercy and forced
peace within a comparatively few days
The idea that Dewey should have sailed
away after destroying that fleet and taking
Manila is preposterous. / think It is equally
clear that We never could have justified
the surrender of the islands to Spain /
think everything was done by the admins
trailon that could possibly have been done
We could not anticipate a Philippine revo-
luton.
This. in remarkably brief space, is the
essence of the whole Philippine case. After
war with Spain was declared were we nos
Justified in going to Manila? After going
there and destroying the Spanish fleet, were
we not justified in remaining? Could we
have left without dishonoring ourselves?
Were We guilty of a single act which justi-
hed the revolt of Aguinaldo? If, therefore.
we hid right to go to Manila, were
bound in honor after arriving and taking
possession TO stay. and were without fault
or evil intent toward the FiIipinos wherein
did the President err? Who is RESPONSIBLE
for the complications there? The Pres-
dent Aguinaldo?
The Atkinsonians are fond of hracke,in,,
the Cubans and the Filpinos How do
they compare in the light of our experience
with them?
When Santiago fell General Garcia and
his troops were not permitted to enter the
city. The fear was that the Cubans would
commit acts of violence. General Garcia
resented the imputation with spirit and
dignity, and he was much offended. But
he did not take to the brush and declare
war against the United States. On the
contrary, he forgave the slight and again
put himself at the service of the United
States He died in honor at this capital
while on mission of peace and good VII
for his countrymen.
General Gomez was not invited to enter
