MIR. Grout and the senatorship.
From the Washington star the leading pape
Of the national capital

From the Washington Star, the leading paper
Of the national capital
In the speculation as to the probable sue
cessor 10 Senator Morrill, mention has been
made of Representative Grout as likely to
receive either the governors appointment
or the favor of the legislature when that
body shall meet TO fill the vacancy. Wash
ingtonians are concerned in this as in few
senatorial contests. Mr.. Grout has been
one OF the best friends the District has
ever known. In many ways he shared
with Senator Morrill, a high ideal of the
true capital, a city of modern equipments,
of adequate architecture, of liberal main
tenance. For several years he has had d.
rect opportunity to participate in the work
of capital making, by virtue of his posi-
ton on the committee on appropriations,
and particularly on the subcommittee in
charge of the District bill.
In his work in this line he has exhibited
spirit of wise liberality in keeping with
the requirements Of both the citizens and
the treasury. In his work on the floor of
the House he has displayed an intelligent
appreciation of the fiscal and moral rela-
tions between the District and the govern
ment which has had beneficial influence
upon the action of the House at times
when there was danger of a departure
from the right path of capital maintenance.
OF course Mr.. Grout has not been always
successful in his efforts in behalf of the
District. But for everything he has done
in this direction he has received the thanks
of the people, who have learned to appre-
ciate this sort of intelligent, constructive
interest on the part of the legislators from
the states.
Under these circumstances the people of
the District, while they would regret to
lose Mr.. Grout from the House, where he
has been so helpful to them, will rejoice if
the people of Vermont shall utilize the op-
portunity to reward this faithful servant by
a promotion. Mr.. Grout has earned his
chance TO step from the House to the SEN
ate by his long, unremitting and intelli-
gent labOrs. Local appreciation of Mr..
Circuit finds its most emphatic expression
in the hearty congratulations which the
people of Washington extend the Vermont
man upon this favorable prospect of a
transfer, though it threatens to deprive
them of a strong friend in the House,
where thoughtful consideration is most
needed.

The problem which this country has been
set to solve by the events of the past sum-
mer have not been stated in broader and
truer way than by Secretary John D..
Long in his speech at Savannah last week.
After referring to President Mckinley as
dealing wisely and justly with the situa-
ton, Mr.. Long added:
"He has well said that when Dewey
sailed into the harbor at Manila, there was
nothing for him TO do as a military neces-
sity but TO capture or destroy the Spanish
fleet He has well said that, once there,
there was nothing for him to do with his
hand upon the throat of the enemy but to
keep II there until the surrender came.
You are right when you have all said that
when that moment came, those islands
could not be restored to Spain; they could
not be left unprotected, and that the duty
of the administration was, not this worth
less charge of conquest and of vassalage,
but of such treatment of those provinces
as should lead to their liberty, their free
dom, their civilization and, whenever they
shall be capable of II, their self-govern-
ment. (Applause) And not the admins
tration only, and the army only, not the
navy only, not all these, but back all
these our dear republic, this hope and
light and promise of the world; this gov
eminent of all the people, by all the peo-
pie, for all the people, high or low, rich
or poor, black or white, at home here

President McKInIey's Proclamation to
the FIlipInOs.

The text of the instructions sent to Gen.
Otis in command of the United States
forces in the Philippines, to be proclaimed
TO the inhabitants of these islands has been
made public. Under date of Dec. 81 the
Presidents proclamation was sent to Gen.
Otis. After announcing that the future
control and disposition of the government
of the entire Philippines group has been
ceded to the United States, and that the
government heretofore exercised over the
bay and city of Manila will be extended to
the whole coded territory, the proclama-
ton continues:
"In performing this duty the military
commander of the United States is en-
joined to make known to the inhabitants
Of the Philippine islands, that in succeed
ing to the sovereignty of Spain and in sew
ering the former political relations and in
establishing a new political power, the au-
thority Of the United States is TO be eX-
erted for the security of the persons and
the property of the people on the islands
and for the confirmation of all their pri-
vate rights and relations. 1t will be the
duty of the commander of the forces of oc-
cupation to announce and proclaim in the
most public manner that we come, not as
invaders or conquerors, but as friends, to
pTOLtCI Iu6 natives Ill IDtlT MONIES, ell
pigments and personal and religious
right. All persons who, either by active
aid or by honest submission, cooperate
with the government of the United States
to give effect to these benefcent purposes,
will receive as a reward its support and
| protection. All others are to be brought
within the lawful rule we have assumed,
with frmness If need be, but without Sc
verify, so far as possible"
The rights of private property will be
protected, and the administration OF civil
and military affairs will be placed in the
hands of native officers so far as possible.
"Finally, it should be the earnest and
paramount aim of the military administra-
tion TO win the confidence, respect and af-
lection of the inhabitants of the Philip
pines by assuring to them, in every possible
way, that full measure of individual rights
and liberties which is the heritage of free
peoples, and by proving to them that the
mission of the United States is one of
benevolent assimilation, substituting the
mild sway of justice and right for arbitrary
rule. In the fulflment of this high mis-
sion, supporting the temperate administra-
ton of affairs for the greatest good of the
| governed, there must be seduously main
tanned the strong arm of authority, TO re.
press disturbance and to overcome all OBJ.
stacles to the bestowal of blessings of good
and stable government upon the people OF
the Philippine Islands under the free flag
of the United States.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY"
