A Contemporary in Error.

The Register Is respectfully informed
that the 1ntelligencer is not In the busi-
ness OF crying treason against those
who deplorc war in the Philippine is
lands" Everybody deplores war. wher-
ever it occurs. and under whatever cir
cumstances. Everybody has n right TO
an opinion concerning policies that have
been pursued from the time OF the de-
claration of war with Spain until the
present II he sees anything to crIticise
consclentiously. The Intelligencer and
all other good American papers have
been sustaining the policy to restore
peace and order In the Philippines. be-
cause the Nation is under sacred obliga-
tons to do so, but they do not believe
that the critics Of that policy are jus,i-
fled 10 the extent that some have imag-
incd Of giving aid and encouragement
to the leaders OF the insurgents. and
thus prolonging the struggle.
The Register does not state history
properly when 1t says:
Our business in the Philippines was ut
first legitimate. 1t was the destruction Of
Spanish power there. That accomplished,
as IL speedily was we had no further con-
Germ with the affairs OF the Islands, But
instead of recalling our forces. after m
amcaDle Advancement with the native
government. THEN IN ABSOLUTE .AG-
THOklTY OUTSIDE THE FORTIFICA-
TIONS OF MANILA, tho administration
bnrGhined with Spain for the sale Of what
she no longer possessed, paid over twenty
millions OF gold. and plunged headong
into f. war which has cost us now more In
blood and cash than the war with Spain.
The Register has but to refer to its
own files Of year ago to ascertain that
the only words OF truth In the above
are contained In the two first sentences.
Our business In the Philippines on the
LIST OF May one year ago was az leeiti-
mate ns 1t now Is, under NIL rules OF war
and International laws. 1t was to de-
stroy Spanish power. but the destruc-
ton Of the Spanish fleet was not the de-
struction of Spanish power In the Is
lands. Spain was still In military and
civil power, and was up to the time OF
the signing OF the peace protocol.
When the Register says that Dewey
could have pulled out after destroying
the fleet after IAN amicabe arrange
ment with the native government. then
In absolute authority outside the forth
iications OF Manila" 1t speaks Ignorant
ly, II not falsely. Before the war was
declared between the United States and
Spain. the insurrection had been sup
pressed and Agulnaldo was an exile.
Spanish civil officials were administer
Ing affairs everywhere. and there wns
practical peace, with only few bands
OF Tagals In remote places. With Span
iSh prisoners in their possession.
Had Dewey departed after the fleet
was destroyed. he would simply have
left Spain atill In power. though tenn
porarily deprived OF few warships.
ASuinaldo did not develop his insurrec-
tion against the United States until nf-
ter Spain had surrendered and months
after the United states had possession.

THE iNTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, NAY 30; 1900
Memorial Day, 1890.

To-day is the annual Memorial occa-;
sion on which the Nation pays tribute
to It's heroic dead wherever the flag for
whose honor they died floats, whether
on the native soil. or on the islandseof
the seas. Throughout the,land the cere-
monies at the graves of the fallen ones
are solemn. touching. patriotic and in
spring. In song and story their deeds
are told, and n grateful country renews
its allegiance to the sacred causes for
which they made the costly sacrifices.
Memorial Day Of 1899 Is more deeply
significant, more national In Its charac-
ter than any In the history of the coun-
try since the custom was instituted.
Since the last occasion, just year ago.
thousands have been added to the Ma
tons dead defenders. But they are not
the dead of dismemoered country;
they represent the best of "a united peo-
pie. who. when the Commander-in-C Chief
people, responded from every state and
every community, with the flower Of the
Nations youth. For the first time
Memorial Day will be celebrated, not
alone in the United States. but under
the flag of the Nation which has been
planted under other skies and on both
sides Of the globe.
The day will have q two-fold signlf-
cance-in memory Of those who fell
more than generation ago to preserve
the Union. and In memory OF the sons
Of those who fought then on opposite
sides, but who have fallen within the
past year in testimony OF their. loyalty
to an undivided country. The sons of
the men who fought bravely and con-
scientiously for the southern cause, lie
beside the sons Of the men of the north,
and the veterans Of both armies meet
beside those graves and those OF their
comrades to clasp hands to render trib-
ute and renew once more the VOWS Of
national brotherhood In common
cause. the cause of the Nation which
Shall not perish from the earth" The
lesson Of the day will not be lost. Every
where will its impressions be realized.

a very difficult ching to determine what
was for the best interests of the es-
tate under the circumstances, and that
the court would have to share the re-
sponsibility with me. He then went into
the court room and took his seat and
called up Mr.. How and questioned him
about the matter and then asked me
whether thought the settlement would
be for the best interests of the estate,
and distinctly Stated to him. as I am
sure Mr.. How will bear me out, that 1t
was question that could not answer;
that all / could do was to present the
facts as 1 had done for the enlighten-
ment of the court, but that might state
farther for the Information of the court
that both guardian and ward had con-
cluded that they would rather pay $500
than to have the matter go farther, but
that friend Of theirs, who was pretty
level-headed man, advised them not to
pay over $1,000 under any circumstances.
The judge then directed us to appear
at 2 o'clock on the afternoon and pre-
sent a stipulation for settlement and
also an order allowing the claim at s., 500.
Now, what claim and insist on Is,
that If when 2bo'clock came, the Judge
had changed hisdrnind, the only courteous
thing for him to- 6oswas to call the par
ties to one side and inform them that
he had changed his mind, instead of
