of sovereignty or self government what.

of sovereignty or self-governmentw what
ever.
But Mr. Schurman was making a
purely technical argument and he knew
it. Spain had a technical sovereignty
which she coded to us. Therefore as
against Spain our title is perfect
Spain's sovereignty was recognized by
all the other world powers. and when
she ceded that sovereignty to us, 1t
made our title good against all the
world-except the people of the islands
On the same principle if England, near
the close of the revolution. had sold
! the American colonies to France, the
French title would have been unim-
| peachable against all mankind, saving
only the Americans themselves.
| But even in this latest speech, MI
| Schurman again declares that the Fill
| pinos should ultimately have self-gov-
| eminent Hence the sovereignty OF the
| United States can be considered in no
other light than as a quasi or partial
sovereignty. held in trust for the benefit
of the Filipino people.
Again Mr.. Schurman states tnat since
the signing of the treaty the Filipino5
have had no civil rights and that con-
gress must declare authoritatively what
rights and privileges they shall enjoy
under American sovereignty. In all of
this. except the cold technical question
of sovereignty under International law,
Mr.. Schurman is directly at issue with
Mr.. Mckinley, and yet he carefully re-
trains from making direct attack
upon the president.
But Mr.. Schurman knows we'll enough
that it is the fault of President Nc
Kinley and no one else that congress
has not had an opportunity to say
something about the status of the Fill
pinos. He knows that Mr.. Mckinley
has assumed from the first that the
treaty fixed the status of the Filipinos
by making them nobodies and giving
them no rights in their own native land.
He knows that Mr.. Mckinley preferred
to fight the Filipinos and shoot them
down by thousands rather than to take
the chances of congressional action that
| might rob him of some of the glory
| upon which he fondly hoped to ride into
| office for second term. Truly, when q
| man undertakes to criticise the Philip.
pine policy of the administration and
leave the president unscathed, he has
taken upon himself good-sized job.

The Deadly Parallel Again.

IT is fair to suppose that the Thanks
giving proclamation just issued by
President Mckinley will be accord
ed all the respect that it deserves. and
that in some quarters 1t will be hailed
as a broad-gauged, statesman-like
and patriotic utterance. There, are
many people, however, even in the pres
idents own party, who will find them
selves wishing that it showed less de-
sire for Standardization, that it par
took in smaller degree of the character
of a stump speech, and that in its ref
a little closer to the line of absolute
verify.
Speaking of the conditions that now
surround US as a people, the president
shows a manifest purpose to take all
the credit possible to the administra-
ton of which he is the nominal head.
At the same time, the desire is equally
plain TO minimize the evils that have
come upon us, and to gloss over the
mistakes that have produced those
evils.
In this connection the proclamation
, and the excerpt from the Washington
Post which the Standard presented IN
parallel columns, yesterday morning,
should be carefully read together and
closely compared, Remembering that
newspapers in the United States. thai
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-10-27

it is decidedly friendly to Mr. McKin-
for misrepresentatio ton, let us glance for
moment at few of the points upon
which the presidential utterances and
the Posts comment are diametrically
opposed.
The president says: 1.-THE trust which
we have assumed for the benefit of the
| people of Cuba has faithfully advance
ed" The Post says: "In neither, island"
| -Luzon or Cuba-"can we discern the
| smallest progress in the direction of our
| solemn promises or our proclaimed in
tent. In Cuba there is still military
aristocracy and a popular discomfort
which grows in bitterness with each
succeeding day. 1t is difficult to mag
inc two statements more directly at
variance, and, regrettable as it is, the
Posts statement is undoubtedly the
true one.
Referring to Luzon the president
says: While the insurrection still con-
tinues in the island of LuZon, business
is resuming it's activity, and confidence
States is being rapidly established
! throughout the archipelago. If the Post
| is right in its declaration that in
| neither island has there been the
| smallest progress in the direction of
our solemn promises" etc, what be-
comes of this statement by President
| Mckinley? How can it be that conf
dence in the good purposes of the Unit
| ed States is being rapidly established
| throughout the archipelago, if there has
not been the smallest progress In the
direction of our solemn PROMISES"
But, further, the Post says: ''In
Luzon there is bloody war; hatred on
the part Of the natives such as was
never visited upon Spain, and a wan
ton and fruitless sacrifice of life" How
does that harmonic with the presi-
dents rosy picture of the confidence
in the good purposes of the United
States that is being SO rapidly es-
tablished?
And much more the Post says along
the same line, concluding with the
statement that six months more of such
miserable failure as we now have in
Cuba and the Philippines may result
in McKinley's defeat in 1900. These
charges by the Post are of such char
acter that the fault cannot be shifted
to Otis and Brooke, however incompe-
tent they may be. They are mere
subordinates and the failure to keer
our Solemn promises cannot be duo
to them. They are simply obeying or
ders. If everything had resulted well
how quickly the credit would have beer
claimed for Mckinley. Where, then
should blame for failure be placed, u
| not at his door?

Current Comment.
One of South Africa's Perils.

From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the dangers anticipated from
war between the dominant white races in
South Africa is an uprising of the native
tribes. The white settlements in that re-
gion are mere islands in sea of blacks
A spirit of unrest has already manifested
itself among the Swazis, the Zulus and
Basutos. The danger of massacre by saw
ages is common to both Britons and Beers
and by rushing at each others threats
the white rulers of South Africa have
given another exemplffication of the mad
ness and delirium of which wars are
born.

publican OF his kind to acknowledge that
the tariff Is the parent of the trusts
Many more progressive and broader
minded republicans have recognized that
the trusts gain an immense benefit from
the tariff and they have declared them
selves in favor of abolishing tariffs
wherever they protect trusts. But Mr..
Hanna is the only man in the country
who has the temerity to commit the dou-
BILE folly of defending trusts because they
are the creation of the tariff and of prais-
ing protection because it has built up
the trusts

McKinleyism are to the United States of
America. Creduious fools who seek the
overthrow of Quay in Pennsylvania or
Plat in New York, while tolerating Han

wherever they happen to be organized,
than to be scourged in scorn and deri-
sion from political activity, as was the
