They have asked the Petit Bleu to pub

it is useless to send letters 20 which
they are unable to reply. Both are
very modest, each attributing To the
other the merit of the work and its
possible results. This strengthens the
hope that their efforts will succeed.

Imperlalists assume that with the destruc
ton of sef.government in the Philippines by
American hands, all opposition here will
cease. This Is a grievous error. Much as we
abhor the war of "criminal aggression"in the
Philippines greatly as we regret that the
blood of the Filipinos is on American hands,
we more deeply resent the betrayal of Amer
lean institutions at home. The real firing
line is not in the suburbs of Manila. The foe
is of our own household. The attempt OF
1861 was to divide the country. That of 1899 Is
to destroy its fundamental principles and
noblest ideals.
Whether the ruthless slaughter of the Fill
pinos shall end next month or next year is
but an incident in a contest that must go on
until the Declaratian of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States are
rescued from the hands of their hetrayers
Those who dispute about standards of value
while the foundation of the republic is nm
dermined will be listened to as little as those
who would wrangle about the small ecOnO
mics of the household while the house is on
fire. The training of a great people for a
century, the aspiration for Liberty Of vast
immigration are forces that wi hurl side
those VINO in the delirium of conquest seek 10
destroy the character of our institutions.
We deny that the obligation OF all citizens
to support their government in times OF
grave national peril applies to the present
situation. If an administ alton may with i'm
punity ignore the issues upon which it was
chosen, deliberately create a condition OF
war anywhere on the face of the globe, de
bauch the civil service for spOi)s to promote
the adventure, organize "A truthsuppressnG
censorship, and demand of all citizens a
suspension of judgement and their unani
nous support while it chooses to continue
the fighting, representative government 1t
self is imperiled.
We propose to contribute to the defeat o
any person or party that stands for the forci
bic subjugation of and people We shall op
pose for reelection all who in the whit,
house or in congress betray American lineitN
in pursuit of nm American ends. We still
hope that both of our great political parties
will support and defend the Declaration o
independence in the closing campaign of III,
century.
We hold with Abraham Lincoln, that "no
man is good enough to govern another MAJ
without that others consent. When tn,
white man governs himself that is selfgoV
ernment, but when he governs himself ant
also governs another man, that is mole thar
self government-thati is despotism." "Oul re
lance Is in the love of liberty which God ha
planted in us. Our defens sc Is in the spiri
which prizes liberty as the heritage of al
men In all lands. Those who deny freedom
to others deserve 1t not for themselves, an'
under a just God cannot long retain il "
We cordially invite the co operation of al
men and women who remain loyal to th'
Declaration of Independence and the con
stitutiOn of the United States.

One of the Most Pathetic Wars in History.
Cleveland Leader.
Imagine the position of those families
of humble country folk, left without the
natural protectors and masters of the
farms. Wives know that they have none
to look to for help except their little
boys, their trusty rifles, and their God.
Whatever happens, the country is
stripped of its strong men. They are on
the frontier, singing the psalms which
comforted their fathers in the desperate
Loneliness and peril of the days when
Dutch South Africa was won from saw.
age beasts and more savage men. They
stand as thin little line of defenders of
their native land against the armies of a
mighty empire. They are to do battle
against the murderOus dum-dum bullets
and Lyddite shrappel shells of the rich
est and largest realm that the world ever
saw. In such a situation the faith of
the Beers in the God they worship be-
comes extremely touching. The men In
the camps and the women and children
in the scattered farmhouses are relying
on the favor of heaven to offset the vast
preponderance of the enemy's forces.
No people equally calm and sensible
would ever have found courage for such
a terribly onesided war if they had been
less sincere and supplemented in their
faith. If these conditions in South
Africa leave anything wanting to make
a complete picture of one of the most
pathetic wars in all history. we do not
know what it is. A brave, devout and
honest people, only a few thousand
families in all, stand at bay in the in
terror of South Africa. They are cut of
from the sea and from outside help.
They have staked their whole hope of
preserving their independence upon their
selfdevOtion and their faith In God. The
good wishes of the world go out to them
But the hard lessons of the past teach
that they must go down in ruin and
death before the tremendous superb
