WHAT is TO Be GAINED
FROM THE PHILIPPINE WAR
From the Detroit Tribune.

From the Detroit Tribune
President Mckinley has at last spo-
ken with the intention of settling the
doubts that have arisen as to the gov
ernment's policy in the Philippines. At
Ocean Grove, N. j., he made a brief
address on Friday last, in which, re-
ferring to these doubts, he said that
he saw no harm in removing them by
stating 1t (his policy in this pres
ence:''
Peace first, then, with charity for
all. government of law and order
protecting life and property and occu-
patton, for the well-being of the peo-
pie who will participate in it under the
stars and stripes
Would it be irreverent to discover
in this beautiful sentence slight
trace of the Pecksnifian? Does it ex-
plain anything? Does it remove
doubt, unless, indeed, that we are to
understand that by government I'M
der the stars and stripes, the president
means annexation? 1t is that which
the natives are now fighting against.
Or does it mean that, If they will only
adopt the stars and stripes, and agree
to fly it at home and abroad, as has
the sultan of Sulu, they will be per-
mitted like him, to govern themselves
as they please? If the latter is to be
understood there is no further need of
fighting, for Aguinaldo would doubtless
at once accept the terms upon which
the sultan has agreed to maintain
peace with the United States. If, on
the other hand. it means annexation,
and government by agents from Wash
ington, even though the natives par
ticipate in it, neither the natives
themselves nor our own citizens who
are averse to entanglements on the
other side of the earth will be apt to
accept this utterance as very satisfac-
tory.
OF course, the first thing Is peace.
But, how shall peace be brought about
so long as the people of Luzon con-
tinue fighting? In spite of all the fine
stories of the invincibility of our
islands show that our forces and our
troops, the latest accounts from the
authority extend barely over the
ground upon which our regiments
stand. A Reuter- correspondent, and
he should be impartial, cables that the
American authority covers radius of
barely Is miles around Manila; of nine
miles around Iloilo, of still less around
Cebu. The rest of the country is in
the hands of the Filipinos, and state
of anarchy prevails wherever the bay
onets of our soldiers are not visible.
1t is now 16 months since Dewey open
ed the campaign in the Philippines so
brilliantly. If so little has been ac-
complished in that time, is there rea-
son to hope that with the forces which
are available, much more can be
achieved in the coming year? No one
doubts for a moment that our forces
in the islands, even though they were
reduced by one-half, could hold what
ever territory they could cover against
all the forces of Aguinaldo; but that
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-05

is not peace. Nor Is there any doubt
but we could, by putting forth a
strength easily within our power,
crush every sign of resistance through-
out the whole area of the archipelago,
II 1t were necessary to exterminate the
whole population. If the Philippines
We're part of our own country which
attempted to secede or was threatened
py foreign power, 1t would be our
auty as well as our interest to put
lorth the EXTREMIST effort for their
supJugation. But neither our honor
nor our interests are so deeply involved
as that. Always arises the question
IN practical as well as patriotic minds,
is the game worth the candle? And
this question Is now being asked with
more and more frequency among our
citizens or Intelligence. 1t Is not nee
essary to raise questions of morality
or humanity. 1t is sufficient to view
the matter solely from the point of
view of a patriotic selfishness. What
is the object in view worth to us as
nation, and what are we paying for
it? 1t begins to appear to many that
the cost is running up dangerously
close to, if not far beyond, the value;
and there is the further consideration
that the future will involve vastly
more expense in life and money than
the past.
If honor were involved, cash would
not and could not be considered, nor
life either. But many begin to fear
that there is but little honor to be
won in this wretched war, and that it
would be far more creditable to us as
nation of sane and humane people,
to approach the insurgents nationally,
and ascertain precisely what they
want, and on what terms they will
compromise and restore peace to the
islands. 1t is quite possible that we
should thus secure all that the great
majority of the American people want,
even though some jingoes and expan-
sionists of the extreme type might be
disappointed.
1t is not necessary to consider Mr.
McKinley's assurances of purity of
purpose at all. We are under no obli-
cation whatever to carry the stars
and stripes and the institutions they
cover to foreign peoples, or wage war
for the purpose of ameliorating the
condition Of other countries The only
justifable motive for conquest in any
intelligent scheme of international
morality is the vital interest of the
conqueror. Anything else that is put
forward is mere rubbish and hypoc-
risy. All conquerors profess beautiful
motives, and their expression may be
regarded as perfunctory. The Span
iards professed quite as beautiful sem
timents as Mr.. Mckinley can possibly
formulate, and they crushed Aguin-
aldo much more expeditiously. There
would be peace, a government of law,
and quite as much protection to life
and property and occupation as we
can give in the Philippines to-day had
Dewey sailed away after his victory
and not an American soldier sent to
the islands.

MORSE STILL IN JAIL.
If the Check Is a Forgery He VIII Be
Held for Trial.

Held for Trial.
s. H. Morse, alias half a dozen other
aliases, but who now asserts that his
true name is L. G. Livingston, who Is
accused of passing bogus paper mere,
at Salt Lake and other places, is still
held at the city Jail, no decision having
been reached as yet as to whether
he will be held here or returned to Salt
Lake, and Deputy Sheriff Ben Harries,
who came from Salt Lake to take the
prisoner back, is still waiting for the
local authorities to form their decision.
This will probably be reached to-day, as
County Attorney Connolly expects to
hear authoritatively from Denver to-
day as to whether the check Livings-
ton passed on Manager Newton of the
Montana Iron works is forgery or not.
If it is the prisoner will be held here
and prosecuted, but If not he will be
turned over to the Salt Lake officer.
Livingston has employed Attorney I.
w. Gaffney to defend him and proposes
to fight either a local trial or an effort
to extradite him. He claims the checks
he passed here and at Salt Lake were
perfectly good and that he will be able
to prove it. He claims to represent
Hughes & Stewart, the Denver agents
of the New York Bridge and Construc-
ton company, and says they sent him
the checks. He assumes that they
stopped payment, though he has no
idea why, and that therefore he is en-
tirely innocent of any wrong doing.
The check passed on the Salt Lake ho-
telkeeper, which was in favor of d.
F. Kane, he says, was passed by Kane
himself who, he says, is another en-
ploye of the firm. He admits passing
one in the name of Livingston at the
same time on the hotelkeepsr and M
sists both were good Deputy Sherin
Harries states that but one check was
passed on Hotelkeeper Porter and mat
was in favor of D. F. Kane and was
passed by Livingston. 1t has been
learned that the rivets Livingston
bought of the Montana Iron works were
shipped to Pocatello to Hughes & Ste
wart. Livingston says his firm is do
ing some work there. Further deVel-
opments are expected to-day

people are to blame themselves. This
is one of the best places-here in Butte
City-for the organization of labor.
This is one of the places where organi-
cation is most needed.
Now, then. 1 say this to the laboring
people-the time has arrived for you to
get together and form labor party.
If you do not get together the time Is

pie will be in the same condition as

utes, owing to the fact that he had not
prepared an address and the further
fact that speaking in the open, so as to
be heard on the grand stand, was diff
cult.

Colored Diamonds.
From Self Culture.

From Self Culture.
A large number Of diamonds are
white, though clear, colorless. trans
parent stone is rarer than might be
supposed. Besides white diamonds
there are red, blue, green, yellow,
brown, black and pink ones. Heat Of
ten changes the color, and after a while
the acquired hue becomes permanent
Yellow diamonds perhaps afford the
greatest variety of shades. Some of
them surpass any other gem of that
color. Specimens of canary-colored
diamonds are quite common. II the
gem has rose-colored tint it Is very
valuable, while red tints, SURPRISING
the ruby. and considered the most
beautiful of all precious gems, are ex-
ceedingly rare. A few varieties are
on record: one weighing 10 carats was
bought by Emperor Paul of Russia for
100000. A cinnamon or brown stone is
undesirable. as it is seldom pure. A
black diamond is nearly as scarce as
red one. Blue diamonds rank next
to red ones in variety and beauty.
Those of dark blue color, vesem-
bling sapphires, are handsome gems.
differing only from the sapphire in
quality and the beautiful play of col
ors peculiar to the diamond. The only
real blue stones are found in the mines
of India. Besides the Bismarck and
Hope diamonds there are only two 9TH
ers in the world that are properly
called blue diamonds.
The green varieties are not as rare
as the blue, black, red and rose-col-
ored species, yet a grass-green or tine
emerald is scarce. When it does occur
1t is more brilliant than the finest
emerald. There are several varieties
of green-tinted diamonds at the Mu-
scum of Natural History in Paris, but
the best known specimen is at Ores
den, and is considered one of the five
paragons of the world among gems.

Butte's Postal Service Com
PEELED to Do the Best It
Can in Narrow and
Bad Quarters,
Be ALL RIGHT BY AND BY
There g Spot Cash On Hand for
the New Federal Building and
the Summer of 1901 Will
See It in Order.

Butte's postmaster, George W. Irwin
H., is a pretty busy man even on legal
holidays, but it is evident from the
chat a reporter had with him in his
cramped little office yesterday. that
with the many duties which crowd upon
the postmaster of a hustling city like
Butte that he keeps the government
building in his mind and finds time to
make plans the building which he hopes
and expects will be occupied before his
term as postmaster expires.
AS the reporter put a question to the
postmaster yesterday as to when the
postoffice will be in its new quarters
Mr.. Irwin swung partly around in his
Office chair, placed one knee over the
other, eyed the reporter in a contem-
plative way for a moment, and finally
said:
II think the postoff1ce will be in the
new quarters by the list of July, 1901.
The building ought to be completed and
ready for occupancy by that time. You
see, there is $4,000 of the 5000, 900 ap-
propriated Immediately available and it
be broken as early in the spring as the
weather will permit. This $4,000 will
probably be all expended by the end of
June of next year, but in the mean
time congress, by appropriation, will
have made the other SIPS, 900 available
and / think there will be no delay in
the construction of the building from
want of funds.
''The bill providing for the postoffice
building and site was passed at the last
session of congress. The building and
site were to cost not to exceed 100000.
The ground has been donated at the
corner of Main and Copper streets. SO
you see the entire amount of the money
appropriated will be available for the
construction of the building. W. d.
Window, architect in the office of the
supervising architect of the treasury
department, was one of the commits
sioners to select the site, and while
there has been 100000 appropriated for
the government building at Helena Mr..
Window recognizes that Butte has to
be provided, notwithstanding the lesser
appropriation, with a larger building
with relation to ground floor, than Hell
ena. So it is proposed here to deal less
in ornament and more in utility.
1.-THE building will contain 10000
square feet of floor space for the post
Office on the first floor, besides making
