Hence the alarm. Under the single

The lumber barons In the north. west
and the paper trust threaten to defeat
any reciprocity treaty that admits
paper, wood or pulp at less rates of
duty than now imposed. That will
probably block Canadian reciprocity, to
the great injury of the coal mining and
many manufacturing interests. But so
1t is these monopoly, trust, protection

the outbreak. It could have no other re-
suit. The natives Of those islands feel
that they have as good right to their
freedom as the people of the United
States insisted they had In 1870. They
are acting accordingly. The best states
men a. the capital now insist that the
only solution Is the freedom Of the peo-
pie Of the Philippines aud unless this is
accomplished, years of bloody conflict,
for which Spain was condemned, " Ill be
the portion OF the United States. A race
fight is beyond its strength and beyond
its resources when struggling for liberty.
No Substitute oan be offered. There is
only one kind of freedom, and that is
freedom.
Diplomats are worried this morning.
They know that when this fight occurred
Spain had ceded the islands to the United
States, ,'and they also know that the grant
had not been ratified Technically the
Filipinos are still subjects of Spain.
Therefore the war with Spain was resum-
ed when the FIRST gun against the FIJI
ipinos was fred. Yet the peace protocol,
which calls for complete cessation of
bostilities, Is still In full force and effect.
Has the United States violated the terms
of the protocolS The people Of the Fill
lpinos deny the right OF Spain to either
hold the Philippine islands or to cede
them to anyone else. The cl ash at arms
with the Filipinos will have only the
effect Of making the people Of the islands
feel the same SPIRIT Of resentment against
the UHited States that they have for
years entertained against Sphn. 4. The
mother country could not p .cify them
and govern them with soo,o soldiers.
H'w many more will it take for the
United States to pacify the N. A word
from the President that 1t is not the
purpose of the United States to hold the
islands permanently would have spared
the lives OF the brave lads lost In front Of
Manila. 1t may be too late now. With
their bIloi once up, the Filipiuos may
resist to the last man. What that means
to unacclimated American troops makes
too horrible pioture to contemplate.
But the sentiment in all quarters is
that while the American solGiers are at
Manila or wherever they are they must
be supported ana reinforced if necessary.
Il" My country May you always be
right; but right or wrong, my country /"
That Is the sentiment that has taken
hold Of the statesmen and they will
assist in every way to maintain the
position of the troops in Manila. Farther
than that is another question that must
be settled later. But it is the policy of
attempting to hold the isl,nd agai nst the
will Of the psopls that is to blame for
the outbreak. All agree that the admin
istration Is to blame for that. A y,ord
from hin that it was not the inten tion
to take the islands would have avoided
the whole trouble and after a while IL
might develop that the natives preferred
to be annexed. That should come when
they proved that they were not prepared
to govern themselves.

SPANS SHOES
Occupied by the United States Unless a
Disclaimer of Subjugaton Comes in
the Very Near Future.

washington, Feb. 6.-(Speoial. 1.-The
administration Of President Mckinley
has brought this country to exactly
the position occupied by Spain before the
war, and ia urgiug the people Of this
country to do just what the hearts of the
Ame rican people cried out that the
spaniards should not do. American
blood has been spilled and brave sons of
patriotic fathers and mothers have laid
down their lives that the great franobiss
scheme Of Imperialism may be fastened
on this country. The Filipinos waited
in vain for word from the President as
to the ultimate policy of the United
States with regard to the Philippine is-
lands that they had fought for so many
years to make free and independent, but
no word came. All that was demanded
was that the treaty Of peace be ratified.
That was well enough, and most citizens
b lleved that it was proper to rstify the
treaty. 1t was asserted that the question
of tne decision Of the islands would then
be open and the Filipinos would be dealt
with wisely and judiciously. The Filipinos
representatives knew how long aud bow
patiently their people had fought and
labored for freedom, and promised, to
offer no resistance to American ooou-
pancy of the Philippines, provided 1t was
for the purpose Of securing commercial
advantages and setting up, or as listing to
set up, free and Independent govern
ment for the natives. They ask that a
clause be adopted by the United States
senate that would bind this cou ntry to
relinquish the islands, save SO far as COM
mercial advantages and cosling stations
entered into the proposition, as soon as
stable government had been established
by the Filipinos. This the administration
would not permit, though specifically
promising that the people would do we'll
to trust 1t. Thus the blood Of the people
who had fought so long for freedom was
made to boil, and this clash of Saturday
night and Sunday resulted, making
American interests and progress in the
islands less tenAble and far more hazard.
Gus. The nation that started into war
for humanity Is made by the acts Of the
administration to be the first to oppress
an oppressed people. Officials are at
high terslon. They do not know what
to do. The situation Is very peculiar.
No one can deny the right Of the Ameii-
cans to Manila bay aud Manila city.
Both are held by the right Of conquest.
That is not true of any other part of all
the group of islands which go to make
the archipelago. The natives had no real
right to make war on the soldiers who
are occupying Manila, but they had
right to know the intsnti IN Of the Ameri-
can government. That being denied them
by the President, they chose to strike
before rel forcements arrived. They had
witnessed the coming of more soldiers
and knew that others were on the way.
They knew they were not necessary to
hold Manila, so concluded that they were
sent for the purpose of subjugating the
whole group Of islands. The result was

the demurrers in the bribery case of
the state against DR.. Thomas c. Moore,
yesterday, before Chief Justice Lore
and Judges Pennewill and Boyce, was

The opinion. which was a long one,

opinion of Chief Justice Waite, that
