Mckinley Analyzed

A telegram from Thomasville, Ga,
says that the administrator will not
decide upon its permanent policy
respecting the Philippines until the
Schurman commission has reported.
This might be true, but il isn't.
and the leas intelligent observer of
events will swallow IL with liberal
allowance Of salt. Mckinley and
Hanna are not waiting for the report
of the Schurmann commission. but.
republican-like, they are trying to
determine which is the popular side
OF the question, without regard to
wright on wrong. If they decid
that annexstion is feasible, that thev
will lose nothing by such policy. then
thsy viii be the biggest ducks in the
expansion puddle. But if. on the
other hand, they discover that they
cannot expand without jeopardizipg g
their jobs, then the dear people will
be given to understand that they
nave never entertained a thought of
expansion.
Congressman Joseph w. Bailey,
oil Texas, grasps the situation firmly
by the nape of the neck when he
analyzes Mckinley as follows:
The trouble with Mckinley. is he
doesn't know what is his own policy
yet, and consequently everybody
also is in the dark. 1 know one
thing to be certainty. The Presi-
dent prior to his visit to st. Louis
and otLer points, was as fatty oppos
ed to the retention of the Philippines
as any one. On that mem orable trip
he heard, orthought he heard, an
ominous underground rumpling in
favor of the holding of the Philip
pines, and since then he has followed
that policy. or rather permitted it to
drift along; and, mark you no one
has ever yet heard him say he was
In favor of it. When the force oi
public opinion shall designate clearly
to Mr.. McKinley's mind that the
American people don't want the
philippines, he, aud of course, the
republican party, will be right in the
push; for, mind you, they have an
nounced no policy so far Mr.. Nc
Kinley has his ear to the ground all
the time listening to catch the rum
blings of public sentiment, but ,
man in that strained position il
likely to err.

A Clear Statement of the Policy
of America.

Manila, April 1.-The proclama.
ton of the United States Philippine
com missioners, just promulgated,
assures the Philippines of the cor
dial good will and fraternal feeling
Of the President and the people of
the United States. The aim and
object of the American government
apart from the solemn obligations
assumed toward the family OF uations
10y the acceptance OF sovereignty
over the Philippines, is the we'll
being aud prosperity of the people.
The purposes of the American gov
ernment have been misrepresented
by some of the inhabitants Of certain
islands, III consequence of which the
American forces which are friendly
have been openly attacked without
provocation. The commissioners
state that the supremacy of the
United States will be maintained,
but the people will be granted the
most ample liberality OF self govern
ment reconcilable with the admins

guaranteed and protected, religious
freedom is assured and all will be

Fourth, the trade advantages OF
the Philippine islands, if there be
any, must be opened alike to all the
world, and that our share OF them
would never begin to pay the cost of
subjugating them by war, or holding
them in subsection by peace.
"Fifth, that the military occupa

be kept at an immense cost both to
the health and lives of our sol
diers.
''Sixth, that the declaration as to
Cuba by the President and by Con
