TOM REEDS VIEWS.

We publish the following for the benefit of
those timid people who fear that if we should
now withdraw from the Philippines, our nation
would be Inundated:
A special to the New York Tribune from
Portland, Maine, says:
In a railroad train, Thomas B. Reed took
part in discussion with two Portland men,
and plainly expressed his sentiments in regard
to the war in the Philippines. One of the
friends with him, who is radical expansionist,
remarked that to withdraw our troops now
would humiliate our nation before the world.
Mr.. Reed replied:
"You don't think those Filipinos would
chase our soldiers 1000 miles, if they should
start for home, do your"
The Portland man replied that it was not fear
of the Filipinos, but humiliation in the sight
of other nations, that was referred to-; where
upon, Mr.. Reed said
~ have always observed that with individu
ais the fear of humiliation is exactly in pro-
portion as they deserve it, and / believe the
same principle holds good with nation and
with party. Some people seem to be afraid
that these Fllipinos will put their tongues in
their cheeks at us. They have done that al
ready. They have watched our failure, as
others have. 1 don't know how long it will tie
before the American people get tired of spend
ing $50 ZOO, 900 year trying to conquer these
people, but it does seem to me it will not be
very long. can conceive that freedom is just
as dear to them as it is to us, and that they
will fight for it just as long"

MUSTN'T HURT MCKINLEY.

Robert M. Collins, agent of the Associated
Press at Manila, wrote to Melville E. Stone,
general manager of the Associated Press, in re-
gard to the Manila censorship, and among other
things he said
"Otis himself, as we'll as his censor, told us
that they had orders from Washington to let
nothing pass that would hurt the administra-
ton or the Republican party. Otis threatened
to cour!-martial all the correspondents, but
General Bates told him it would not do, and he
had better let us send the facts. Otis and his
staff tried to keep us from obtaining any in
formation.
Recently filed what thought most in
offensive statement that the business men who
had appeared before the commission had advo-
of currency The censor said: Il ought not
to let that go. That would be lift for Bryan.
My orders are to shut off everything that could
hurt Mckinley l explained to him that the
silver system here was not I6 to I, and, with
seeming reluctance, he o. K. ID the item.
"There has been, according to Otis himself,
perfect orgie of looting and wanton destruc-
ton of property, and most outrageous black
mailing of natives and Cinnamon in Manila,
and various incidents like the shooting down of
several Filipinos for attempting to run from ar
rest at cock-6ght, not to mention court-martial
of officers for cowardice, and the dismissal of
General - for getting drunk on the eve of
two important battles-all of which the cores.
pcndents have lett untouched by common
consent.

AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE.

We consider the nomination of John R. Nc
Lean for governor of Ohio, by the Democrats,
as unfortunate, under the circumstances The
convention passed resolution condemning the
war in the Philippines, while Mclean says he
wants the wal continued. These are his words:
"Let the war go on in the Philippines until
order is restored. We have gone so far now in
hostilities that an immediate change of policy
would be difficult and embarrassing"
We have heard Republicans talk the same
way. A Democratic imperialist is not whit
better than Republican imperialst. Mclean,
by his own words, proves himself in favor of
McKinley's policy. Mckinley is an imperial
list. Then Mclean must be, too. Therefore,
we say that the Ohio Democrats are unfortun-
ate in their choice of gubernatorial candidate.
And we have another reason: Mclean is
the proprietor of Democratic paper-the Gin
cinnati Enquirer He is also interested in the
publication of Republican paper in Washing
ton, D. c., which was one OF McKinley's most
ardent supporters in 90.
But, then, Mclean is a millionaire, and has
a mighty big "bar'l''.

PO0rly-Clad Soldier Boys.

Writing from Yokohama to her father in In
an American resident il Japan, tells of the
impression made there by the appearance of
United States soldiers returning from the
Manila campaign and of efforts made by Amer
can women at Yokohama to cheer the troops
on the way. Her letter is as follows
c. you can't walk three steps without seeing
an American volunteer, said friend to me one
day recently.
"'What!' exclaimed.
"'Yes, the town is full. The transport
Hancock is here and the boys have shore leave.
A harder-looking lot, begging your pardon for
saying so, never saw
"This friend is Dane. A man who has
travelled all over Europe, but has never seen
our own glorious land. The next day, the 18th
of July, went down town myself, and l saw,
what everyone else was seeing-a fine lot of
men, but-the clothes
"You call those men soldiers p said one sar-
castle German. Il should say they we've tramps.'
And we Americans had to say, meekly: Yes,
they do look hard, but there are excuses to be
made for them. They have had hard year.
COME IN FILTHY CLOTHES.
'But the sight of dirty-nay, filthy-clothes;
tooth brushes stuck through hat bands, ragged
coats, or more frequently none, made us blush.
1t was all we'll for us to put on brave face
and try to explain to our European friends that
clothes did not make the man and all that sort
of thing. The fact stared us in the face.
Here were all these men looking anything else
than soldiers.
"Our German friends, accustomed to their
'bandbox' soldiers, who are always on dress
parade, smiled sarcastically. Our English
cousins laughed at the 'rag-a-muf6n' troops
and we swallowed our wrath and smiled a
sickly smile, for Yokohoma has only little
over 1900 foreigners, not including the
Chinese, and of that number over 900 are
British, and we are but 37S. And when the
family is small it behooves each one to try and
keep peace. kansas City World

Our Victorious Flag.

1t transpres that one of the articles of the
treaty which General Bates made with our en-
peror of our Sulu islands specifically and posi-
lively prohibits Christian missionaries from
entering the archipelago for the purpose of
preaching their religious faith. His imperial
highness refused fatty to recognize the sover-
eighty of the United States unless the United
States would pledge itself in writing to prevent
the Christian religion being introduced to his
subjects. He is Mohammedan, and bigoted
one at that, but he is we'll educated, as is the
wealthy class of the islands, and keeps himself
informed on current events the world over.
There was one demand of the United States
to which our vassa emperor yielded after much
argument by General Bates. He will use the
stars and stripes hereafter as his national COL
ors, and OH all occasions. He was quite will
ling to adopt the American flag for general
purposes, but he wanted to use his own colors
when holding court and visiting the islands in
state. Even that he was willing to forego if
the Americans insisted but he delayed the rat
fcation of the treaty quite while by sticking
for the privilege of flying his own royal flag
over his harem at all times, even on the Fourth
of July. But the Washington government was
obdurate. The Star-Spangled Banner must
float from the flagstaff of the harem, and when
his serene highness saw that he must yield or
fight, he prudently yielded. So, as the conse-
quence of the kind but firm stand of our most
wise and supremely patriotic president, we
Americans have the proud satisfaction of know
ing that our beloved flag has won another glo-
rious victory. 1t now floats in peace and in
loving kindness over ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
harem, and out of its folds goes a command to
Christian missionaries to pass by on the other
side, lest they disturb the voluptucus annexes
of the sultan's palace or hear the clanking of
the chains of human slaves-K. c. Times.
