Chief Executive of this nation is the
one who has precipitated upon US the
embarrassment and the difficulties by
which we are now confronted. l in
sist that he did not simply hold the
Philippines as commander in chief,
leaving the question of the disposition
and control of them to Congress, but
that he formulated and put into execu
ton an affirmative and aggressive pol
icy, that of their permanent anneXa
ton to this country, and forced it
through the Senate, with all the power
and influence which his high office en-
abled him to employ.
THE Presidents first impression
was to demand of the Filipinos simply
coaling station, a measure amply
sufficient for all of cur legitimate pur-
poses and the evacuation of the island
by Spain without compensation by the
taxpayers of the United States. Had
he adhered to this, however, all would
have been well. The whole Union
would have followed him cheerfully
and to-day we
WOULD HAVE BEEN AT PEACE
with the Philippine republic; our army
and navy which is now waging war
against our former friends and allies
would have been disbanded. No army
bill for standing army of 1000 men
would have been pending and we could
now be getting ready to reduce instead
of getting ready to greatly increase the
burden of our taxation. But the Pres
ident committed a fatal error. He
wrote into that treaty the absolute
transfer of Spanish sovereignty over
the Philippines to ourselves and the
payment of S20,000,000 as a consdera-
ton for the cession. Then he issued to
the people of the Philippines that proc
lamation in which he informed them
that the United States had succeeded
to the title of Spain, declared that the
government and control of their terri
tory belonged to US, ordered them to
pay their taxes to the military govern
ment which he established over them
and blandly made known to them that
our mission in their midst was one Of
benevolent assimilation
"The President drove the treaty
through the Senate by the unlimited ex-
ercise of all those powers and infu-
ences which the great Office he holds
makes possible.
y What, then, did the Chiof Executive
mean by telling those who gathered
around the banquet board at Boston
that up to the ratification of the treaty
he had simply held he Philippines as
commander-in-chief, without any policy
of his own, leaving the whole matter
to be determined afterward by the Con-
gress? Was he foolish enough to be-
lieve that his mere statement would be
allowed to pass unchallenged? Was he
vain enough to suppose that his ipse
dixit would conclude the matter, with

THE DAMNING PROOF

of its tasty so near at hand?
"Mr Chairman, why did the Presi-
dent change his original intention as to
the terms to be incorporated into the
treaty? What were the influences that
brought the change about? l have
heard it stated that the applause of the
people who greeted him just about this
juncture of public affairs, while he was
on his tour in the West, was the rea-
son for it. Was it, then, the condition
of public sentiment rather than the
right or wrong of the matter which in
fluenced the Presidential mind? Does
the Chief Executive regard his great
prerogatives to be so supinely repre-
sentative that he must needs abdicate
them at every popular wind that
blows? DOES he feel that his high Of
fee gives him no latitude for the exer-
else of individual judgment and of in
dependent action? Did he make no al
lowance for transient ebullitions Of
public enthusiasm and excitement,
overlook his opportunity TO save ths
people for themselves, lose sight Of all
the sacred traditions of the country and
fear to make his appeal TO that ulti-
mate tribunal which has so often in our
national history indicated those who
have fearlessly stood for the right in
public affairs-the sober, second
thought of the great Ameri peo-
pie?

SExTON's SUCCESSOR.
Capt. johnson. Senior VIce-Commander.
in-Chief. Will Succeed tho Late
Col. Sexton.

Cincinnati. Feb. Capt. w. c. John
son. senior vice-commander-in-c of
the G. \. r.. is the head of the firm of
johnson Brothers Hardware Co.. in
this city. Under the constitution he
becomes the acting commander-in-
chief at once upon the death of his
superior. and continues as the acting
Commander-in-chief until the vacancy
is filed. The national council of ad-
ministration. consisting of As men,
bers. one from each state department.
has full power for filling all vacancies.
This body may elect Capt. johnson or
any other member of the order While
it is though that Capt. johnson will
srcceed Col. Sexton. yet there is no
certainty on that matter until the ma
tiOnal council of administration meets.
Since the organization OF the g. 4.
r.. in 1866, there have been &c COM
manders-in-chief. Eleven of them are
now dead. but Col. Sexton is the first
that died in office. and his death brings
about a condition for which there is no
precedent. Logan was commander-in-
chief for three successive wears. Burn
side, Devens. Hartrantf and Robinson
for two years each. and since 1878 no
one has had a second term.
If Capt. johnson succeeds to the Of
fee il would remove the headquarters
from Chicago to Cincinnati, and that
may have some influence in the selcc-
ton of a successor.
1t is also stated that great prepara-
lions are being made at Philadelphia
for the national encampment there
next September, and that the depart
ment of Pennsylvania may want
voice in tie selection of Sections sue
cessor.
Capt. johnson served throughout
most Of the civil war as q private,
never attaining higher rank. except by
brevit, than that of lieutenant. He
has a very fine historic record as a SOL
iier and is very successful business
man. The Ohio department will urge
upon the national council of admins
Iration his selection as commander-in-
chief. Capt. Johnson realizes his re-
as acting commander-in-
thief until the council of administra-
ttion fills the vacancy, and he will not
himself as to the future.
