How very like the war In Cuba
between the Spaniards and Cubans,
before the United States interven"d,
Ii the present war In the Philippines
between the Americans and Filipi
nos For months and months, it will
be remembered, the Spaniard1 main
tanned strict blockade in Cuba In
their attempt to prevent supplies
being struggled to the insurgents, In
order to starve them into submission
Now, the same plan Is being contem
plated by the Americans in the Poll
ippines. The Cubans were fighting
for the same principles for which the
FilIpinos are now fighting-liberty
and self-government. Although
they had to contend with much
superior force, in comparison with
their own army, no complete victory
was ever gained over them; and,
from the way things are moving at
present, 1t appears that the insur-
gents in the Philippines will do
equally as we'll as the Cubans
Thousands of lives were sac
rificed by Spain in her vain
attempt to subdue the Cubans,
aid hundreds of American soldiers
have already given their life's blood
in the Philippines, and yet no mate
rial victory has ever been gained.
The Spaniards in Cuba were fighting
for the same selfish ends for which
the Americans in the Philippines
are now fighting; and has the U lifted
States any more right to establish a
colonial government in the east
ern hemisphere and murder and
starve the natives, than had Spain
to maintain her colonial govern
ment In the western hemisphere
and murder and starve the nativesi
When the conditions in Cuba haC
reached such state that it became
the duty of the United States to in
tervene in the name of humanity
the struggle seemed blessed q
Providence and victory was swift
, and complete. What, now, If some
nation should intervene in the Phil
ippines, in the name of humanity
to stop the slaughter of the native
there, and give to the Filiplnos tn
same liberty for which the Ameri
cans fought so bravely to restore t.
the Cubans? What, we say, if SOM
8 nation should intervene? Haven
the Filipinos as much right to asl
n it as had the Cubans?

SENATOR BATE, who has been in
San Francisco for several weeks, in
a newspaper interview in which he
expressed strong opposition to the
expansion policy, says: "On this
coast, and especially in San Fran.
cisco, have found the expansion
principle largely favored and advo-
CO ted by the wealthy classes of
wholesale merchants and by those
who are commonly known as gold
bugs" And the wealthy wholesale
merchants and capitalists are the
only ones who will derive any bent.
fit from annexing the Philippines.

In the death of Richard Parks
Bland one of the most prominent fig
ures in American politics has been
removed from the scenes of activity,
and life of honor and usefulness
has been brought to a close. In the
national halls of legislation the great
worth of Mr.. BANDS character was
best seen and his statesmanlike quail
tiles greatest admired. He was an
ardent supporter of the cause of free
silver, and during his long years of
servitude in Congress he ever fought
with an uDtiring energy for the
white metal"

THE Republicans are spreading
abroad the proclamation that they
will put an antitrust plank in their
platform next year. BIT what if
they should? The fact still remain s
that the Republican party is the
friend and promoter of trusts and
combinations, that stitie Legitimate
competition, steal from the poor and
give to the rich. The Democratic
party has always fought the trusts
and always will. The Republican
state of New Jersey furnishes evil.

THE lists of killed, wounded and
sick sent in by Gen. Otis from the
Philippines continue to lengthen,
while hundreds of casualties on the
Filipino side are reported after each
engagement. And, what is worse, it
seems from the present state of af-
fairs that the trouble has hardly be-
gun. The Americans have made
scarcely any progress, and hundreds
of other lives must yet be sacrificed
to conquer the insurgents, il they
are conquered at all. Were there no
other reasons why this unholy and
murderous warfare-this needless
slaughter of human lives-should be
brought to close, the divine COM
mandment, "Thou shat not kill"
should appeal to the rulers of this
Christian nation, God save the
mako ard cause them to pause in
their ruthless work Of destruction.

The Cars disarmament confer
ence, which has been in session at
the Hague for several weeks, has
proven complete failure. The dis
armament proposition is good one,
but no one ever entertained serious
thoughts that 1t would be carried
into effect. Spain, no doubt. and
some other nations of her size,
would be pleased at the idea of hav-
ing the navies and armies of all ma
tions reduced, but your Uncle
Samuel and J. Bull, who have for
eign colonies to guard and rebellions
to quell, could hardly be induced to
dispense with any of their fighting
material.

INCREASE OF SALARIES.
Question That Is Agitating French
Senators and Deputies.
Copyright, 1s9? by the Associated Press.l

copyright, 1S9? by the Associated Press.l
LONDON, March 25.-The French deputies
are now agitated over the question of rails
ing their salaries. A proposal was intro
duced in the chamber yesterday to increase
the pay of senators and deputies from 5000
to 5000 francs. The Socialists, who are
poor, warmly supported the measure. One
deputy, NJ. Arstide Boyer, frankly support
cd the proposal on the ground that 1t will
place the deputies out of reach of corrup-
ton, which brought severe rebuke upon
his head from the president of the cham
ber. 1t appears that the proposed increase
was set on foot by the wives of struggling
legislators, who looked forward with con-
sternation to an upward bound of prices
during the exposition of 1900. While the de-
bate was proceeding one OF the deputies, Nj.
Charles Ferry, Republican, protested
against the proposed increase, pointing out
that no monarch ever raised his own civil
list, and another deputy, NJ. Lases, anti
Semitic, rose to a height TO which his col
leagues were unable to follow him by a
Quixotic motion to abolish salaries, on the
ground that the deputies ought not TO be
ashamed of poverty at time when so many
people have cause 10 blush for their wealth..
The motion was overwhelmingly rejected.

LONDON, March ga representative OF
the Associated Press has had an interview
with Mgr. Brindle, the new coadjutor OF
Cardinal Vaughan. who has just returned
from Rome and who had an audience with
the Pope a week ago. They conversed at
length on important topics, his Holiness dis
playing his usual acuteness and animated
and varied thought. Mgr. Brindle says the
Pontiffs eyes are like those OF a boy in
brightness and that he certainly is not suf-
fering from any mental deterioration. The
Pope sat down at mass usual, and in
tends to take part in the celebration OF
April II. playful evasion of his doctor's S
vishes is the occasion for much amusement
10 the household and adds to the view of
the Vatican and of Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary of state, and others sur
rounding, that Leo XIII will live ten years
longer When questioned further on TIE
subject of the Pope's views. Mgr. Briade
said his Holiness looks upon the domestic
differences in the church OF America as a
sign of immense nervous vitality, but as be-
ing in no way alarming. He regards the
future of the church in America with hope
in its unity and as being tower Of strength

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.
Effort to Prevent Issue Of Editions OF
the London Telegraph and Mail.


downright. 1899. by the Associated Press.l
LONDON. March 25--Considerable oppo-
sition is developing against the approaching
Sunday editions of the Daily Telegraph and
Daily Mail. The government was ques-
toned on the subject In the House OF Com
mons last evening. member asking
whether il was intended TO legislate against
such newspapers or cause the postoffiee to
restrict their advantages of transmission,
so as to discourage the practice of seven
day papers. The government leader, A. j.
Balfour, replied that her Majesty's govern
ment had no Intention of interfering in th'
matter. He pointed out that Sunday paper
had existed for a long time past. The oppo-
nents of seven-day newspapers. however do
not intend TO let the matter rest.
Col. Duncan Vernon Pirie, veteran who
organized the relief OF the wounded in
Greece during the late Graeco-Turkish war
from the fund raised by the Daily Chron-
icle. has announced his intention to intro
duce a bill to prevent seven-day papers on
labor grounds, while other opponents OF
such papers are agitating against them on
the ground that it will be a desecration OF
the Sabbath to print them. This latter
contention furnishes the motive for a severe
rebuke of the Queen in the report SUBJ
mitted by the Free Presbytery OF Lorne,
Scotland, on Sunday observance. in which
1t says: 1T is deeply to be deplored that
the Queen and the royal family have not
shown happy example to the people in
Sunday observance in her recent journey 10
France. She arrived there on the Sabbath.

Christian and have very pernicious infiu-
