Q. Did not the Beers themselves
ask to be annexed to Great Britain
some years ago?
They did not. a few years after gold
was discovered in quantities in these
territOries-thatis is, in 1S77-Great Brit
ain took advantage of the confusion of
a terrible race war, white against black,
which she herself had precipitated,
and annexed the Transvaal. So shame
less was this proceeding that when the
Beers revolted in 1880 Great Britain
restored the republic, not because her
forces were defeated in a few little bat
ties but in spite Of these humiliations.
and solely because Mr.. Gladstone, then
premier, made a conscience matter of
the case at issue in England, and ar
Oused the moral sense of the English
people, saying as he did: 81 do not
want to commit this nation to a policy
of blOOd-guiltiness." The treaty of 1881
was followed by the convention of 1884.
in which Great Britain practically IN
did the crime Of 1877. Two years later,
IN 1856, came the great discoveries of
gold and diamonds in the Boer terri
tories. Since that time, under the di-
rectiOn Of Cecil Rhodes, Great Britain
has been trying to undo her deeds of
repentance.

Twisted the Meaning.

A slip of the pen makes strange
reading sometimes. In a recent &C
count Of the terrible news received
from the seat of the TransvaaI war in
England the narrator wishes to empha-
size its effect upon old as well as young,
but be does not make his comparison
in those words. "Out of fashionable
shops" he says, rushed women young
and gray haired" He gives the i'm
preston that the hair of the young
women has turned gray from anguish.

OPINIONS ON THE PHILIPPINE
QUESTION.


QUESTION.
We need a cOaling station In the
Orient, but do We need anything else?
I was opposed to the annexation Of the
islands and I heartily wish We we're rid
Of them now. What a Godsend it would
be to this country il We could in honor
reserve a few stations and get rid Of
the rest Of the islands and their mil
lions Of people and the vexatiOus prob
lem Of governing those Millions
President Schurman, Of the Philippine
Commission
The war against the Beers is most
Infamous and unjust and it was brought
about by England's lust for domain
and is on a par with our attack on the
poor FfIipiuOs. These two attacks are
q disgrace to both branches Of our
race. The people in the Transvaal and
| the Orange Free States have a right to
rule themselves One war is an attack
Oh an existing and the other on an en-
| bryonic republic. 1t is worse for Us to
attack the FiIipinOs than for England
TO attack the Beers; for We fall from a
greater height as we believed in gov
eminent by the consent Of the govern
ed. The best men Of England have
spoken against the war in the Trans
vaal and everywhere it is deplOred ex-
cept by those whose interests are ser
we'd by it.-Andrew Carnegie.
The great question, on whose deci-
sion hangs not only the fate of the
Philippine people, but the future Of
the republic, the future Of liberty, the
future Of humanity, has been discussed
with a ferocity of invecti7e, with lev
ity, with an intolerance, with an appeal
to low motives and to cheap passions,
rarely paralleled in political history
Such men as Mr.. Edmunds, John Sher-
man, Gov. Boutwell,, Carl Schurz, even
the soldiers who write home from the
camp, OF who have come back from the
war in the west, or in the east, to ex-
press their opinion that the country is
making a fatal error, are called "trait-
ors," "copperheads," "squaw men, "
when they invoke the doctrines Of the
declaration of independence and the
counsels Of the Senator Hoar.
Their leader (AguinaIdo) had been
brought over to the islands in United
States ship by the United States autho-
rites and was in arms at the head Of
his forces with our full concurrence
and cooperation. If the statement at
tributed to a high official in one of our
departments, who is sometimes called
upon to sit in the cabinet with the
president, were actually made, their
leader had been offered by President
Mckinley the high Office Of colonel in
the regular army Of the United States,
an offer which itself is a sufficient re-
futatiOn of all the charges against him.
They had framed a provisional cOnsti-
tuition, a model of its kind, and estab-
fishing a dictatorship like those estab-
lished by Bolivar in South America to
give place to a republic as soon as the
military condition should make it pos
sible. Looking back, can any sane
man doubt the wisdom of those who
desired to amend the treaty and to
deal with the Philippine islands as we
did with Cuba.-SenatOr HOsr.

The C0ghlan Incident.

Captain Coghlan Of the Y. 3. courier.
Raleigh, one of Dewey's lighting cap
tains, Is doubtless brave man and did
good work ut Manila but he appears to
have been inclined TO Talk too much as
Imany men before him have done The
herman government took notice Of aud
protest against the language used BY
Capt. Coghlan at the Union League ban
quet in New York, Friday night last.
The protest was lodged with Secretary
Hay by the German ambassador at
Washington.
Secretary Hay replied that the Ian
guage appeared TO have been used at II
dinner in club, and SO could not be re-
garded as an official or public uttefanee
in the sense that would warrant the
state department in acting. However,
the navy department WAS fully com.
petent to take such action as the case
seemed to require.
The officials on both sides realize that
this episode may grow into very great
source of discord, unless treated dis
creetly and cody. Our officials are
somewhat surprised at the importance
attached to this incident by the German
government
1t is stated that our own government
has Ignored many utterances Of German
officials of sentiments far more inimical
to the United States than was the tale of
Captain Coghlan to Germany.
The offense of Coghlan appears to be
representations made of the strained re-
lations between Admiral Dewey and AID.
mira Won Diedrichs, the commander OF
the German naval forces at Manila.
Whether his remarks were worthy of the
Importance attached to them by the
German government or not, they were
indiscreet, unworthy of the commander
of a u. S. war vessel and there was nc
earthly need of their being made.

has set about to organize farmers
movement for lower taxation, has re-
ceived the following letter from GOV.
Powers, in which he defines his position
on the taxation question:
Dear Sir-I am decidedly in favor of
a revision, equalization and many radi-
cal changes in our system of taxation
here in Maine. believe that the farms,
mills, stores and other property of this
kind bear more than their fair share of
the burden. | refused to permit any
raise in the rate of the State tax at the

already burdensome. This matter of
taxation wants to be carefully consid-
cred and equitably adjusted upon all the
property aud corporations of the State.

Sometimes persons have opportunity
to read obituary notices OF themselves.
Speaker Reed is now having ample OPP
portunity to read newspaper articles in
regard to his career as a member of
Congress and speaker of the House Of
Representatives, and they are very ap-
prt ciative. They could not well be
otherwise. He is man of commanding
ability and force. His career AS floor
leader when his party was in the minority,
and as speaker when his party WAS in
the majority, is "A remarkable one.
Probably no other man in the country
could have done as he has done and ac-
eomplished what he has accomplished
as speaker of HE popular branch ut
Washington. Public men realize this,
newspapers realize it aud the intelligent
people Of our great country generally,
realize it. Reed has done much to give
his State, the remote State of Maine
remote from the National Capitol and
from the great centers of business and
commerce-prestige, eminenee and pow
Ct in the counsels of the Nation. In this
he has not been alone by any means.
The senators and representatives from
Maine in Washington have ably and
efficiently performed their part in earlier
days and later, so that Names influence
has been by no means measured bV the
size Of her congressional delegation.
Now that Mr.. Reed is likely to retire
from public life, for the time being, his
ability, his integrity, and his great ser
vice to his State and the country are
reu embered and fill an important page
In the current comments of the times.
Mr.. Reed will find the many editorials of
opposition papers, AS well as those of
his own party, by no means unpleasant
reading.
