THE PHILIPPINES.

Under the caption of What Shall
we do with the Philippines" Hon.
Charles DENLY, formerly United States
minister to China, writes most enter
tainingly in the current Forum of those
islands and their prospects. Among
other things he says:
'It is the fashion, initiating the per-
Torrance of the Gridiron Club at Wash
ington, to treat the Filipinos as savages,
and as living without any government
in state of nature. The facts are that
the Islands are divided into four prov
inces, and four military districts, and
are governed by politico-military COM
manders. There is a captain-general
and heutenant-governor There are
mayors Of cities, petty governors,
alcaldes, and, in fact, all the usual ma
echinery of government The people are
intelligent and kindly, and are imbued
with Republican principles. To say
that we want to enslave these people is
a SANDER. To say that we shall not i'm
prove their condition is to contradict
history.
1T is just as idle to say that the pos
session and control of the Philippines
will not benefit our trade and COM
merce. Our trade with China is grow
ing. 1t increased from 1000, 600 taels
in 1890 to more than 100000, 900 in 1897
This statement does not include imports
and exports which go and come through
Hong Kong and London. Unless every
writer on the affairs of the Far East is
mistaken, Eastern Asia today presents
the most important field for commerce
that the world contains. Railroad
building in China, Manchuria. and ST.
IBERIA may well occupy the time and at
tention of the manufacturer of steel
and iron in which industry we hold
the first place in the world. After lum-
Der, and next to refrigerated and can
ned meat, the iron and steel industry in
the United States is the most valuable
and important
There rises in the path of progress
in China but one dangerous spectre;and
that is the partition of the Celestial
Empire. Our retention of the Philip
pines will tend to prevent the destruc-
tion of the Empire, and to preserve for

HOW THEY MISREPRESENT.

The congress that has just ended was
the most extravagant in the history OF
the country. It's total appropriations
amounted to over a billion and halt
of dollars. Buffalo Journal.
The above is a sample of the talk the
fusion papers are indulging in. They
know that the statement that the Doth
congress was the most extravagant In
history is untrue. They howl about
the appropriations being over a billion
and a half of dollars, but they never
stop to explain that this amount in
cludes nearly half billion of dollars
because of the war with Spain, and that
the war also caused increased expendi-
lures in the army and navy that had to
be met in the regular appropriation
bills for the next fiscal year. They
don't tell of the increased expenditures
because of the increased cost Of the
postoffice department, and yet these
same fusion editors would be
the first to howl were the postal service
in. any way impaired by lack of
sufficient appropriations. Doubtless
Editor Eaton knew when he penned
the above quotation that the ordinary
appropriations of the 55th congress were
only slightly increased over those of
past congresses, but to have said so
would have spoiled his chance to make
a howl against congress. Doubtless
there were appropriations made that
the country could have gotten along
without, that is the case with every
congress, and doubtless always has
been. The 55th congress had great
work to do, and it did it well. The
country as a whole has no fault to find,
The howl about its great expenditures
is simply political trick to make cheap
political capital. The fellows who are
now doing the bowling, are the ones
who six months ago were Dragging that
they forced the war If they did, they
got what they wanted, and they are
exhibiting very poor sense now in howl
ing about the cost of the music

The bill introduced in the house
Friday by Representative Gutterson,
of this county, to provide for the build
ing of cottage at each of the present
three insane hospitals, on land adjacent
thereto, at cost of $50, 900 each, these
cottages to accommodate 200 patients
each, would seem to be happy out
come of the difficulty the state now
finds itself in upon the question of pro-
viding for the care of the insane, the
legislature having decided that it does
not want to embark upon, the county
system, As these cottages will be I'M
der the control of the hospital authori-
ties to which they are adjacent, it can
not be urged that the inmates thereof
will not be properly looked after. The
same care that is now given them in
the large institutions will be devoted to
them in the cottages. While it is in
tended that these cottages shall be oc-
cupied by the chronic insane, that mat
ter will be left in the hands of the state
board, to handle as they see fit in con-
junction with the hospital authorities.
1t would seem that this would be a
much more sensible solution of the
IN after than the erection of two large
and expensive institutions aG Anoka
nd Hastings, simply ecause the peo-
pie there want them.

handling of the affairs of the city is
general, and there ought to be no
trouble in bringing about condition
that will result in such reform and II
takes but very little investigation to
show that there is crying sneed of re-
form in the conduct of our city affairs,
both financially and morally.
The reply, made by some connected
with the city government, that matters
are all right, and that there is no trouble
except that imagined by a few chronic
kickers, who always attempt to stir up
things about election time, will hardly
pass. When the city is using up all of
its ample revenues and in addition
thereto adding to its floating debt over
Sc, 900 per annum, as it has been doing
for the past five years, it can hardly be
said that things are going tall right.
The taxpayers, who foot the bills have
a ri ght to know where their money IS
going, what it is being used for and who
is getting it? And about election time
is certainly proper time to discuss
these questions. The affairs of this
city ought to be run so, that if the
revenues continue as large for the next
three years as they are for the current
year, every cent of the $50, 600 of floating
Indebtedness could be wiped out and a
small surplus left in the city treasury.
Men who are well informed as to city
matters and the general needs thereof,
assert that this could be done and every
legitimate requirement met, This IS
what the voters should work for, and
they should not allow the wool to be
pulled over their eyes in any particular,
nor passions stirred up that will switch
them off the right track. A cool, calm
discussion of city affairs and how to
right them, is what is wanted.

Direct Slap at Gomez.

''To abolish the grade of general-in-
chief and to remove General Gomez for
failure in his military duties md dis.
obedience to the assembly,"
Much passion was evident in the
speeches, in some of which Gomez was
branded as traitor and was declared
to have been delinquentin his duties and
disobedient because he had accepted the
proposition of Robert p. Porter, Presi-
dent McKinley's special emissary, with.
out consulting the assembly.
The assembly then declared that the
So, 200, 900 is insufficient, and it has moi
yet accepted the proposition. The dis.
cussion of this question will soon be
taken up, now that General Gomez has
been removed.

HAVANA, March Ex-Governor Gen
eral Brooke was notified Of the de-
position of Gomez and was much in
terested to learn the details of the as
sembly's proceedings. He said he could
not express an opinion as to the effect
of the assembly's action upon the future
relations between Gomez and the United
States, particularly in the matter of dis
bursting the $3,000,0 coo offered by Wash
ington to the Cnban troops as a condi-
ton of disarmament, but the impression
seems to be among the American au-
thorities that as the assembly has never
been officially recognized by the United
States government its action, SO far as
Washington is concerned, will not
amount to more than the resolutions of
any other body of individuals. The as.
