Some Of the so-called metropolitan
dailies, notably the Ploner Press OF st.
Paul and the New York Journal, are
evidently very short OF reasons for ex-
pansion or imperialism. Their stock IN
trade appears to be largely the calling OF
names. Ana dvocate of the t~imehonored
principle of government by the consent
Of the governed" or anti-expaneion doc
trine, is dubbed q "traitor," q "connlver
at treason" a "conspirator with
A%guinaldo," because aiding, abetting
and inhaming the enemy with speeches
against the policy of the administration.
Now, we consider this is all very silly
twaddle for high toned journals to use
for in the first it is not true and IN the
second place it is not argument il it
we're true. 1t is merely the tactics of

States and Of Cuba. We're it not for
this liberty loving element, called
TRAITORS in our country, this govern
ment would fall into the hands of a
graepi 6, avaricious despotism inside of
twenty-five years that would paralyze
every manly aspiration Ut the common
people. Without their structures, an ad.
ministration led on by it's ambition for
glory and power would run into every
excess OF domination and self %aggrandize
ment only to lead to utter ruin in the
end. And because lovers of liberty,
equality and justice see this and reason
and protest against it is no cause why
they should be called either TRAITORS"
t. their country or clogs on it's wheels of |
progress. They are in fact it's only safe
guards and true COILS erva,ors, yielding |
self-lnterest that the many may be bene-
fitted. There is no question that the
ant!-expansionists have the best OF the !
argument in the present controversy
over the Philippines and that is the
chief reason why the imperialists resort
to the calling of names. A worsted
DICTATOR usually resorts to that low level
OF debate which is not argument at eli,
but a manifest sign OF weakness in their
position. When the United States has
got title to the Philippines in fee simple,
has a clear title to the islands as against
Spain or the F~ilipinos themselves, and
we should then get to wal with the
Filipinoe, it will then be time enough to
charge "treason and conspiracy in aiding
and abetting the enemy" but not until
then. For the present let the situation
be fairly and honorably discussed.

IiawtOn'S Advance.

Manila, April 22.-General Lswton
and the troops under his command
marched to Novaliches today. They
found the town deserted. On the march
General Lawton encountered little OPP
position, only one small force of Fill
pinos being met on the route. They
were repulsed easily at the expense OF
only few shots. One American was
wounded in this little fight. This lack
of opposition to General Lawton's men
is in striking contrast with that met by
General Macarthur, who traversed
practically the same country not long
ago. MacArthur's advance was stub
Dornly contested and he had to fight
nearly every foot of the way. Genera
Lawton will probably join Macarthur,
but he is making wide detour en-
route, with the idea of rounding the
rebels further in the interior and put
ting a stop to the night guerilla attacks
on our forces along the railway.
The troops with General Lawton are
two battalions of the Third infantry, the
Dad infantry, three troops of the 4th
cavalry, the North Dakota volunteers,
and Gales squadron. General LawtoD
also has two light field guns. The
troops took the field at daybreak this
morning.

Mr.. HOBART NOT A CANDIDATE
President Hobart has definitely in
formed his personal friends, including
President Mckinley, that he will not be
candidate for reelection. This de-
cision is due TO the i'll health of the
Vice President and the necessity OF
putting aside as far as possible all cares
and responsibilities. It is even doubt
full whether he will be able to perform
his duties next winter as presiding Of
ficer of the Senate, although the cues
ton can only be determined by the con-
dition OF his health during the summer.
The Vice Presidents real trouble is a
weak heart and to this ailment is due
the seriousness OF his recent attack OF
grip and indigestion. The most cheer
full accounts of his progress toward re-
covery are given at his residence, but
his friends who understand his real con-
dilion know that it is serious 1t is
thought, however, that he will recover
from his present illness.
