a Somnambulist's Adventure.

A. F. Cove of Lincoln lives alone and
went to bed as usual one night several
days ago. About o'clock the next
morning he found himself barefooted and
almost naked, in a shed adjacent to his
house with the lower part of both his feet
frozen, his hands chilled and his feet and
legs badly cut by falls on nails and rub
bish. Whether he had fit or was walk
ing in his sleep is uncertain. He wan
dered about in the snow and the shed
nearly half an hour. He was taken to
the hospital at Burlington.

On Feb. 6 the senate has decided to
vote on the ratification of the treaty
with Spain. That the great majority
sentiment of the country is in favor of
its rejection, unless amended to guaran-
tee the Philippines immediate freedom,
there can be no question. On every side
may be heard the mutterings of the
storm that is sure to arise and over
whelm every individual or political party
that shall undertake to stand in the way
Of or nullify, the principles upon which
the American republic has been founded.
The discussions in the house of rep
resentatives in Washington last week
upon the army bill show how plainly
and with what terrific force the senti-
ment of freedom is working in all
parties.
'If were in the senate" said Mr..
johnson, Republican from InGiana-un-
questionably one of the ablest represent
atives of the house-"I would rot In my
seat before would vote for the treaty
unless amended to.recognize the ultimate
independence of the Philippines"
1t is most earnestly to be hoped that
the senate will defeat the treaty as pro-
posed, or rather that they will amend it
as suggested by Senator Hoar or ex-
Senator Edmunds. Why 1t has not been
so amended, or why it is not amended at
once, it is impossible to see. Properly
amended SO as to guarantee to the Phil
ippines their rights, which we admit be-
long to all, it could at once be passed
with substantial unanimity. 1t Will, of
course, be understood by all nations that
in such event we would not permit any
interference with the Filipinos. To
certain extent, or for certain time,
they would be our wards.
But those DESTROYS of annexing the
Philippines say that we should govern
them until they are fitted to govern
themselves. This whole idea has been
rightly characterized by Bishop Potter
of New York as gross impertinence.
With most 1t is only pretext, deceiving
none except those who desire to be de-
ceived or those who are incapable of not
being deceived. The contention that
1t is understood one or two senators
make, that the treaty should first be
passed and then resolution guarantee
ing freedom to the Philippines, is so un.
businesslike and unsafe that very few
sane men would entertain it seriously.
There is but one proper course for the
senate to pursue, and that is 70 insist on
Senator Mason's amendment to the
treaty, or similar amendment, acknow-
lodging the freedom of the Philippines,
or, failing in this, to defeat the treaty.
That it might be passed at an extra ses-
sion is of no significance. There is little
probability that it will be. The hand
writing on the wall or across the sky of
the nation will be too pronounced at that
time ior any sucn treaty TO pass. When

Imperialism and Militarism.
[ From John Morley's speech to the Scotc
Itbarals

.
Liberals.
You may call it iIngoism, you may call
1t imperialism, cali it what you like
| know the thing, and whether it comes
from Liberal teachers or from Tory
teachers | would beg all of my country
men and those who are more than nv
countrymen, my constituents, to remem-
Der what Imperialism is in the sense in
which 1t is now used.
Imperialism brings with it militarism,
and must bring with it militarlsm. MIL
itarism means gigantic expenditure,
daily growing. 1t means an increase In
government of the power of aristocratic
and privileged classes. Mllitarism means
the profusion of the taxpayers money
everywhere except In the taxpayers own
home and militarism must mean war.
And you must be much less well read
in history than | take the Liberals of
Scotland to be If you do not know that
it is not war, that hateful demon of war,
but whte-wlnged peace that has been
the nurse and guardian Of freedom and
justice and well-being over that great
army of toieTs upon whose labor, upon
whose privations, upon whose hardships,
after all, the greatness and strength of
empires and of states are founded and
built up.
