Grntitntle 70 AlteeId.

The announcement in a Chicago dis
patch, which appeared In yesterdays
papers, to the effect that Ex-Governor
Altgeld has returned to Governor Tan
ner, of Illinois, the commission APP
pointing him a delegate to the conven-
ton of the National Civic Federation,
for. the purpose Of considering the trust
question, to be held the present week,
will be hailed with considerable enthus-
iasm. Aitgeid assigns as reason: II
have not much confidence in the pro-
posed trust conference. It looks to me
as IL it were going to be more Of a
trust love-feast than anything else"
The public owes to Governor Altgeld
q debt of thanks for this ultimatum. 1t
offers a sure guarantee that the fair
and conservative discussion of pure
ly business question, by business men,
win not be dragged into the depths of
demagogic politics. nor the harmony
and real purpose of the conference de-
parted from. 1t is fortunate that the
delegates from the remainder of the
states will not be tortured, disguised
and diverted from their good purposes
by an injection of unadulterated Alt
geldlsm into the proceedings.
It will be tremendous relief to news
paper readers who will look to the
newspaper reports, not for partisan dis
cusaion of the vital questions involved,
but for the views Of men who will be
present to discuss the question from
the standpoint of business interests,
and having at heart the industrial well
fare of the country. It is not to be a
conference of ambitious demagogues
who are seeking to exploit their favor
ite denunciation OF capital any more
than It Is to be a convention to shape
a platform upon other matters for a
political campaign.
Men of the Altgeld stamp are not
wanted. and the conservative citizens
of the country who look for wise cOun-
sells, discreet and purely business-llke
dealings with so important subject
may be congratulated that Altgeld has
himself, though he may not have In
tended 1t in that way, voluntarily re-
solved to remain away and permit the
business Of the convention to be con-
Quoted in peace and harmony, and
without a disturbing element to mar
what is to be. or intended to be. a
calm and deliberative body, nOn-par-
tisan in its construction.
This makes two important features
of this nature In connection with the
conference. incidentally 1t may be
noted also that Bryan, with his unique.

step toward Capitalization OF power

The Emblcm of the Democracy

Congressman Lentz. Of Ohio. has
been making another break. This time
1t has been in the Cooper Union. at
New York. He condemns the alleged
purchase of the Philippines on the same
principle that he would condemn the
sale of one OF the states of the Union.
OF course the logic of this is absurd.
and Mr.. Lentz has done nothing more
nor less than to make himself ridIcu-
lous. The people of this country are
more apt TO favor the purchase of ter
ritory than to dispose of 1t. This has
been tho record of the country from the
beginning, in spite Of Mr.. Lentz.
II the Democracy proposes to adopt
a policy that the United States must
give up the Philippines, because they
were purchased" 1t must also, to be
consistent, include every acre of terri
tory purchased from foreign countries
from the beginning OF our history. The
New York Sun. which is giving consId-
cradle attention to Mr.. Lentz's queer
propositions. says on this point:
The first lot up for disposal under the
anti-imperlnlist policy would be the an
Client territory Of Louisiana, reaching from
Inc Gulf OF Mexico TO the Pacific Ocean.
Al the time OF their purchase the thhah-
ltnnts OF that region no more gave their
consent to government by the United
states than have the ARuiRaldos. They
were never asked for It. although the
purchasing agent In chief was Thomas
jefferson, Invoked 80 frantlcnlly. together
with all his works, BY the anti-impeFial-
lists.

BISHOP THoBURN
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
on the Philippines.

"a NAA6 aApSuUAAoS Gpl1CUpAA SAHASA
on the Philippines.
Cleveland Leader: Bishop ]. NJ. Tho
burn. Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. who Is perhaps one of the most
celebrated missionaries in India, be-
lleves that the United States has done
right In attempting the control Of the
Philippine islands.
Bishop Thoburn points to India for
evidence of what can be done by a
thoroughly civilized bower in pacifying
wartike tribes and establishing condi-
lions which lead to general peace and
prosperity, While the bishop deplores
the present war with Agulnaldo's reb-
els, he says he believes that 1t was In
eVitable, for the question Of authority
in the Philippines had to be settled
sooner or later, and there could have
been no successful attempt to create a
government for the Filipinos until the
authority Of the United States had been
established. while It is OF the utmost
Importance" he says, that a measure
Of self government should be intro
duced among the people at an early
day, and that this should be gradually
but steadily enlarged as time passes
yet no room should be left to raise any
question whatever concerning the ulti-
mate supreme authority Of the governs
ment which Is responsible for the whole
administration. ANY uncertainty at
this poitn will lead to inevitable con-
fusion and endless trouble in future
years" Thus the bishop tusttftes the
war for the establishment Of the au-
thority Of the United States in all the
territory that has passed under Its con-
troll.
pines in this way:
I'm the present instance the Ameri-
cans will be acting for the best inter
ests Of the people OF the Philippines,
and also in the interest OF the great
principle OF universal peace, for whleh
we ali pray and for which we should all
strive, II they accept the trust which
God in His providence seems to have
thrust upon them in the Philippines,
and proceed to establish peace and or
der throughout all those beautiful ISL
ands, and then teach the people how to
administer their own affairs In an en-
lIghtened Christian spirit and under the
authority OF enlightened Christian
law"
good Christian man who has spent
years laborinB among people who are
very much akin to the Fillplnos, and
he feels that the work the United
states has undertaken in the Philip
pine islands is bound to result In the
permanent betterment Of the human
race He does not accuse his govern
ment of Criminal aggression" or de-
sire to Cypress the people whom i is
desired to benefit. What Bishop Tho
burn says will command the respect
and attention OF all thoughtful people.
