The obstructionists profess to
realize no justification for the set
Element of the Philippine question
by a defense with arms of our po-
sition at Manila. The opportunity
for a solution Of the problem of
government has not yet been af-
forded. No government in the
world could have yielded to the
order to leave Manila that was
promulgated by Aeuinaldo, who
had no government, no authority
of law, or even united support
of the people at interest. The
islands came to this government as
the fortune OF war, and there is
but one way i'll the light of inter
national comfy to dispose Of them
The treaty of peace had not been
ratified when the effort was made
to drive our forces from the posi-.
ton they had gained i'll battle. /
the United States armed forces had
the right to capture Manila, the
government not only had the right
to retain possession, but was bound
by all law to hold the place till i
was disposed OF by treaty or los
by defeat in battle. AS Manila wa,
on the day Dewey captured tht
city, it is to-day. There is no rult
of equity or of international Law
to justify the demand for the aban
donment of the Philippines at thi:
time by the United States. There
is but one course TO be pursued
and that is to whip the Filipino.
or to be whipped by them. Patriot
ism is to be the sentiment to de
eide i'll this cause at this time

The Responsibility.

When the Americans occupied
Manila there were two distinct
types of Filipinos to be dealt
with, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The inhabitants of Luzon were
represented as an industrious and
submissive people, with enough in
telligence and information to APP
preciate better government and to
cooperate with American officers
in securing protection of property
aud person.
On the other hand the Visayans,
who inhabit the central group of
large islands in the PHILIPPINE
archipelago were expected to resist
American authority, and the
Negroes, the ruling race In one of
the larger islands of the Visayan
group, seemed to like to be
especially violent in their OPP
position. 1t was known that the
Tagals under Aguninaldo had not
had the active support of the
Visayans and that he had never
been able to impose any con-
ditions upon the Inhabitants of the
island of Negros. But the Span
iards represented that there would
be great difficulty in establishing
any authority in the Visayan
group or in the Sooloo islands to
the south.
All The time the treaty of peace
came before the senate for ratifi-
cation there had been no open
hostility to the Americans in any
part of the Philippin, S. But with
the incendiary aggitation in the
senate of the United States there
came rebellion in Luzon and an at
tack on the American troops at
Manila. Aguinaldo, who had
been heralded in the halls of
congress as latter day Washing
ton, and who had been inflated by
the nauseous tributes of the Ameri-
can mugwumps, had come to
believe that he could become
dictator for the trying, aud he
tried, Thus the submissive semi
civilized Malays of Luzon have
b en- transformed into the assassins
and incendiaries of today.
Meantime Iiiolo was surrendered
to the Americans without a strug-
gle. A hold was acquired in the
Visayas without the loss of man,
aud the wild natives of Negros.
rallying against Aguinaldo as an
invader, hoisted the American
flag and formerly offered their SUBJ
mission to the United States
They even went further. In APP
probation of the advantages as
sured to them by American
supremacy they offered to raise an
army of 100, 900 men to oppose

Right-of-way Agent Davis is in
the city to deal with resident own
ers Of property on the proposed
Snake River Valley road between
Riparia and Lewiston, He looked
over the property through which
the road passes yesterday between
this city and Steptoe canyon, This
exemplary agent processes to know
nothing about the company's fu-
ture purposes, but there is no CON
cealing the fact that he wanted the
right OF way and presumably he
wanted it to build railroad there
on, and not TO sell to Moscow cap
italists. The o. r. & n. company
has never faitered in the purpose of
building TO this city, but the out
side papers all have maps showing
diverging routes TO encourage their
readers for the time being. The
fact is that this company is not adj
vertising its business in the papers.
The substantial business opera
tions, like the purchase of this
right of way, are the most positive
evidence that could be offered.

the schemes and conspiracies of
Aguina lido horde. Thus did
wild people, far from the influence
exerted over the cables by recreant
Americans, manifest joy at the
prospect of American rule.
No one can read the story of the
times in the Philippines without
the conviction that had it not
been for the American copper
heads the Taglas would have
been the first to adopt the present
course of the Visayans and Negroes.
1t is not putting the case
too strongly to say that the
outbreaks in the island Of Luzon
have been melted by men like
Hoar, Hale, German, Schurz and
Carnegie. The responsibility for
rebellion and arson in the vicinity
of Manila rests with the senatorial
pettifoggers and the mugwulnp SEN
timenlalists, who worked on the
vanity and egotism of the half
breed mercenary, Aguinaldo. The
blood of American troops spilled
nea- Manila, and the loss of prop.
erty in the city, must be charged

supporters on the public platform:

The Lewiston normal receives
$4,000 for running expenses for
two years. This sum does not meet
even the pressing demands of the
institution. The school is rapidly
growing in Importance, and the
attendance in the next two years
will fully double that of the past
two years. In the past the profess
sors were called upon to divide
their salaries to pay for extra teach
ers. 1t is not economy to cripple
a state institution for a small saw
ing. The school will run and the
public-spirited citizens will make
it fill the grand purpose for which
it was established, but this politi-
cal management is a public shame
