About the Philippines.

"These islands are said to contain
10, 900, 900 people, composed of Malays,
Japanese, Chinese, and of many ma.
tious and tribes. They are now at
war with the Spaniards, and will be at
war with US if we undertake to govern
them. 1t will be necessary to main
tain an army and feet to hold them
in submission. What good can come
of such an acquisition7 We already
feel the evil results of our threat to
occupy and hold the islands, Our
army is enormously increased and is
still held and must remain in force to
await the order to take the Philip
pines. Our navy must transport our
troops 10, 600 miles away, thus making
necessary the great enlargement of
the navy. Our debt is already on the
increase, at a time when we had a
reasonable hope of its full payment. ''
John Sherman.
Such an acquisition would not
strengthen US. On the contrary, it
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1899-02-17

would be constant drain on our re-
sources without any substantial COM
pensation for the outlay. Even when
not in a state of actual insurrection,
the people are turbulent, cruel, and un-
mindful of the rights of persons or prop
erty, and it will require a most vigi-
liant administration of the law by hon.
est and capable officials to preserve
order among them, even in most en-
lightened parts of the islands, while in
some parts tits. at least doubted whether
this can be done at all. Spain has
tried it for more than three centuries
and has signally failed. If we acquire
the Philippines we will find it more
difficult to defend them against any
great European naval power than it will
be to defend the whole coast of the
United States against the same power.
They add comparatively nothing to
our strength or prosperity in time of
peace. and they will be a positive weak
ness to Z US in time of war.-John G.
Carlisle.

and death to the poor, the week, the
ignorant who elect to oppose the
power of the dollar. Our country
pretends to begin a war tor human
freedom and enlightenment, and has
the sanction of the whole people, the
poor especially. We win in that war,
but immediately we get power We
proceed to subjugate those whom
our brave boys volunteered to set
free; and all because of the greed of
boundholders and speculators for more
dollars.

OF course you are in favor of expan-
sion; all navy men are, naturally. But
the question is to be settled by the peo.
pig who pay the taxes. Your salary
has been greatly increased, and you
naturally feel friendly toward the ex-
pansion policy, but remember that the
people who have been compelled to pay
increased taxes, cannot feel as friendly
toward expansion as you do.
There is some talk of running you for
President. You cannot be elected on
an expansion issue. Expansion is, be.
coming more unpopular every day.
When the Americans were knocking
down the card ships of the Spaniards,
there was some enthusiasm over the
war, but there is no enthusiasm for
expansion. The republicans make a
mistake if they believe that the people
are as favorable to expansion as they
were favorable to war after the blowing
up of the Maine.
This country has trouble in the Phil
ippines, in Cuba and in Samoa, and the
republicans will soon find that they
have trouble at home, It is fun for the
officers of the army and navy, and for
the politicians, but it is no fun for the
people who are compelled to pay the
bills, and furnish the fighting men and
the men who die in the hospitals of
fever. In addition to the troubles emu
merated above, the senate has passed
the Nicaragua canal bill. another stu
pendous piece of folly.
Why are we making these mistakes?
Politics.
The time is not far distant when ex-
pansion will be very unpopular. Let
Admiral Dewey keep his mouth shut.
Hard times will follow the present good
times, and then the people will COM
plain vigorously of the manner in which
the public money has been wasted dur.
ing the past year.
The exPansionists, to make good their
claim that we have right to expand as
a nation. compare the Philippines to
the Louisiana purchase. The Louisl'
ana purchase was practically uninhab.
tied, and laying at our door. The Phil.
lippine Islands are Jon the other side
of the earth, and Inhabited by ignorant
degenerates who are no more like Am
ericans than fshworEas are like trout.
Let Admiral Dewey beware of the
American habit of talking too much.

The Deacon says the joint keepers
are his triends-better friends to him
than the city council. As his action
has apparently enabled them to run
with much less expense than formerly
have they not every reason to feel
friendly towards them? Is it by their
help that he is enabled to furnish his
paper for one cent week to his
favored subscribers, while he makes

up money to get him here pay s1.OO

The people of Great Bend who
have, under the leadership of Bro.
Armstrong of the Beacon, succeeded
in knocking the city out of a revenue
of several hundred dollars during the
last few months, under the promise
that they would close the joins and
stop the illegal sale of liquor here,
are being severely criticized by many
people who, at the time those prom
ises were made, hoped they would be
fulfilled. No prosecutions have been
made; no convicting evidence has
been filed; the same salot ms. with
possibly two exceptions, are running
as usual; dozen or more additional
government licenses have been pro,
cured by people whom it is fair to
presume are needing them in their
business, and there is more drunken>
ness In evidence than there was under
the old system of fines. The Beacon
editor promised, in behalf of the peo-
pie whom he represented, that if the
city would refuse to take fines from
the joint men, they, the Deacon and
his people, would stop the business.
Nearly three months have pased
since the council agreed to their
proposition, and nary stop. People
are asking under whose sufferenee are
the joints now runningf the city
has lost the revenue-who is getting
itS They say the Beacon man has
heralded himself ss the head of the

sire that we ask HIM: "What have

with, but in an hour the thing was get
ting serious. / got out to fix something

beginning to melt and the leather dash
was smoking. struck buffalo wal
low where there was about four barrels
of water. The horse hadn't had a
chance to drink since he left town that
morning and l unchecked him to let
him take a drink out of the walIow.
Well gentlemen, that horse was mighty
thirsty and he made dash. for the buff
falo wallow, but as soon as his nose
struck it he jumped back as if he had
been shot. couldn't understand it un-
til got out and put my hand into the
water. You may not believe it but
swear that the water in that wallow
was boiling hot. l happened to have
two or three eggs in the buggy aud
threw them into the wallow and had
them soft boiled to turn in just two
minutes. I drove on but the thing kept
getting more serious all the while. In
ha If an hour the woodwork of the buggy
was on fire in three places. had
brought jug of water with me and it
was lucky thing that I did. It kept
me busy pouring water on the places
that were catching fire. When got to
the first creek that there was to cross
on the trip I was out of water and the
buggy would have been a mass of
flames in three minutes more. The
poor horse was suffering terribly. His
hair had singed off until be looked like
an overgrown Mexican dog. I un-
hitched him and let him lie down in the
water long enough to put out the fire
and get cooled off. I never was so
thankful to see night come as I was
when the day was over. Of course you
understand that it always gets cool in
that country at night no matter how
hot it may be in the day time. When
1 came to take an inventory of things
when / stopped for the night found
that the hind axle had been twisted by
the heat until it looked like a Kansas
City cork screw. One tire had melted
off entirely and another was mighty
near it. But the most curious thing
that I noticed was something that hap.
pened to me individually. was wear
ing a set of false teeth at the time and
the ceIluloid plate melted so that four
of the teeth dropped off and swallowed
one of them in my excitement. l have
never dared to wear a celluloid plate in
that country since, in the summer time. -

The advocates of a government
ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines will watch with interest the
workings of that system in Porto Rico,
where the Spanish government has
turned over to the United States
authorities all the lines in the island.
If the government can operate the
Porto Rican telegraphs and telephones
at moderate cost there will be good
ground to assume that the same thing
can be done in this country. The
British system is fairly satisfactory,
and there is no reason why it should
not succeed with US. The Porto Rican
experiment will be an American one
and its success or failure will have an
important bearing upon the question
of government ownership.-Burling-
