But this talk by the Indepen-

But this talk by the Indepen-
dent regarding the organization Of
a militia is the %silliest of bell v
wash. From a republican stand
point it is sseditious, reasonable
and disloyal." 1t is "copperhead-
ISM pure and simple. For such
men as Lee, Pettigrew and Moore
to exercise the right Of free speech
as guaranteed by the constitution
OF their country is what hurts.
They contend that the Filipinos
have some rights that should be
respected and also that the Nc
kinley administration is not infal-
lible and unerring-that is all.
That any party with "damn-the-
constitution" for a policy and basis
of action should object to this is
not surprising. The words of
good, old Abe Lincoln uttered back
in the dark days of the sixties con-
vey the same sentiment of a abso.
lutte justice that the words of Lee,
Pettigrew and Moore have con
tanned. Being convinced of the
fact that the average republican is
a total stranger to the Lincoln
policy, The UNION reprints the
extract, which is as follows:
"No man is good enough to gov.
ern another man without that 9th.
er's consent. When the white
man governs himself, that is self.
government; but when he governs
himself and also governs another
man, that is than self-govern.
ment-that is despotism. Our re,
lance is in the love of liberty
which God has planted in us. GU
defense is in the spirit which prize:
liberty as the heritage of all mer
in all lands, everywhere. Those
who deny freedom to others de
serve it not for themselves, anc
under a just God cannot long re
tain it,"
That republicans in general
and the republican press, shoule
condemn the sentiment of Lincoln
is not surprising. Republlcanisn
as typihed by Mckinley and Han
ma, has deserted the vital princi
pies that have made such a repub
lie as ours possible, thrown over.

"Copperheads" and the Philippine
Campaign.

SOPPeT1lSdOS oAAS NHS Af
Campaign.
On occasions The
UNION has remarked that the mil
itary campaign in the Philippines
is like unto the "~silver craze"-it
refuses to end. A score of an
nouncements have followed each
other that zone crushing blow"
was about to be dealt the obstreper-
Gus Filipinos and then all would be
over. J. Three weeks ago the cable
rams from Otis tent located some
eight or ten miles back of the firing
line announced that ''peace was
hut f%orty-eight hours distant"
That was three weeks ago, but
,peacesis still an unknown quantity.
Otis, Mckinley, Hanna nor Alger
can tell just when this happy con.
dition shall be established.
But the republican supporters
Of the administrations Spanish
policy seem to have misunderstood
the motive back Of our comparison.
Our remarks concerning the
failure to end benevolent assimi-
lation" in the Philippines has been
misconstrued and we have been
charged with lending moral aid to
the .trebels' and to desire a failure
Of American arms. This is wrong.
Not a single "copperhead" in
America desires the failure of
American arms anywhere OF earth.
No class Of people under the blue
heavens glories more in the bravery
Of the American volunteer than do
these same ..copperheads'' Of 1899.
What. they do believe in is that
even the Filipinos nave some
rights which even this powerful
nation should respectfully consider.
These "copperheads" Of 1899 be-
lieve that the national constitution
IS still a pretty good thing to cling
to and that the doctrines Of justice
and equality as taught by Jeffer,
son, Jackson, Abe Lincoln and
Bryan are still worthy Of some con-
sheraton. They still think, as
Mark Hanna once told Mckinley
tothink, that ssforcible annexation
would be criminal aggression"
When they compare the failure to
end the Philippine rebellion" to
the failure in keeping the "%silver.
craze" killed, it is not because
they desire to see our gallant vol
unteets slaughtered and defeated
In the field. Il is because they
see and realize the enormity Of a
national crime, backed by the
present republican administration,
against i d%efenseless people.
They desire that proper amends
should be made for the crime--for
il - nothing less n short, they
ask that the doctrines and princi-
pies which hadtheir foundation At
Lsxington md Yorktown and
which were upheld y Donelson,
aplcksbnrg md Cold Harbor be
msintsined. That's "a.

Tide Rising Against imperialism

President Mckinley is arranging
for a trip through the west to greet
the volunteers when they come
home from the Philippines. 1t is
a carefully laid political scheme to
excite q seeming wave of enthu-
siasm for his policy of imperialism
and to Offset the v e criticisms
which have been made over his
failure to bring the volunteers
home when their terms OF enlist
ment expired two months ago. 1t
might be thought that the presl-
dent of the United States would
be above this sort of peanut poll
tics. but the situation is desperate
and imperialism menaces his pros
poets of reelection.
One significant sign that the rls-
ing tide against Imperialism is
tending to disrupt the republican
party is found in a meeting OF
prominent Irish. Americans held in
Washington last week to organ
ize a national movement against
the administration. It's leader
was Col. Patrick O'Farrell, II Of
the most prominent 1rish-Ameri-
cans in the country, a veteran OF
the late war and an active member
of the Loyal Legion. He Fut in
ten weeks on the stump for Nc
Kinley in the last election, but de-
clares that he will vote for free
silver before he will support the
administration in tits present policy.
81 am an expansionist," said Col.
O'Farrell, $50 long as expansion is
within the limit of the American
continent, but to take an alien pop
ulation Of 5000, 900 as subjects,
; not citizens, to incorporate a terri
tory which car never be the home
Of a white population, savors too
much of the policy Of England;
and | and thousands of others OF
the same way of thinking will not
only protest against it, but vote
against it."
The opposition to imperialism is
so pronounced in Massachusetts
that we're no other lssue involved
an enormous anti administration
majority would be registered.
Should ex-Speaker Reed, who is
dramatically opposed to imperial.
ism, head the revolt in the repub
lican party, the movement woulc
be quite as momentous in the easl
as was the revolt of the silver re-
publicans in the west in 1896.
When the full facts of the Phil
ippine campaign, the character o
the mixed populations, and the
evils incident to even a peaceful
occupation of the islands are laic
before the American people, the
opposition will be sufficient Il
overwhelmingly defeat the admin
istration. One point in illustration
has just come out. Throughout
the island Of Mindanao and in tn.
smaller groups reaching down to,
ward Borneo are hundreds o
thousands, millions perhaps, o.
Malay Mohammedans who it j!
proposed by Mckinley shall be
come subjects of the United
States. These people SPAN ha'
never conquered. Like the Tia.
gals who are fighting in LUXOR
they have a strong mixture of Arat
blood. They are governed by a
lot OF tribal chiefs, petty despot:
who call themselves Sultans, anc
like all Mohammedans, are polyg-
amists. It is proposed in all ser,
iousness that an annual tribute bs
paid to these petty despots by the
United States to insure their sup.
port Of American sovereignty ane
to persuade them to abandon theil
habits Of predatory warfare. Thi:
