"POlicy of Infamy."

Phrase making IN the fervor of oratorical
Inspiration is at times a dangerous expedi-
ent. Mr.. W. Bourke Cochran addressed last
night a mass-meeting in New York in be-
half Of the anti-expansionist sentiment
held under the auspices of the Continental
League" He grew enthusiastic in his de-
nunciation of the alleged new tendency of
the people Of the United States to extend
their boundaries far beyond the limits of
this continent and in the course of his
speech he declared that this ''heresy of
Imperialism" is a policy of infamy" At
the same meeting a letter was read from
eX-PreSident Cleveland noting his hearty
sympathy with its purposes. 1t is of recent
memory that this same phrase, policy of
infamy' was very widely applied to GER
tain course once pursued by Mr.. Cleveland
himself. 1t was used to describe his efforts
. restore the depOsed Hawaiian queen to
her corrupted throne. History will doubt
less record 1t as expressive of the wave of
popular Indignation which swept over the
country when the fun measure of MIR.
Clevelaud's purpose became known. No
amount of plagiarism in the heat of latter
day denunciation can change this record
Policy of infamy'' will continue TO mean
the interrupted Cleveland course during the
years 1887. 1t was then applied by prac-
ucaHy the entire people. II cannot safely
be now turned, with the assent of Mr.
Cleveland. 10 denounce the desires of prac-
tically he entire people to make peace with
Spain, TO accept the righteous fruits of the
struggle, to adjust only the United
States can adjust the chaotic conditions in
the Philippines and to spread the principle
Of freedom to the PARKWAY corners of the
earth.

The Army Bill.

The attitude of the anti-expansionists
toward the army reorganization bill which
has now been reached in Congress. shows
at once the length those gentlemen are will
ing 10 go in an effort to carry the day.
and the peculiar reasoning with which they
are cheating themselves. Having declared
that expansion means Imperialism, and that
Imperialism must lead to miltarism, they
point TO this army bill as proof of their as
sertion, and demand its defeat in the inter-
ests of the country. They are willing to
support some temporary measure for an in
crease of the forces but with the express
understanding that it is but temporary and
as soon as possible a return shall be made
to the Old figure of a constable's squad
1t cannot be denied that there is just as
much strength in this proposition as in
that relating 10 Imperialism. The man who
can see the United States turned bloody
and remorseless cOnqueror as one of the re-
suits of its victory over Spain, staggering
about the hunt of new land and willing
to go all lengths to obtain it, can as easily
see in an increase Of fifty thousand men to
the army a menace to his country's liber-
ties. While the spell is him he will be
able TO see nearly anything. These are but
ordinary manifestations of a vision thor
oughly disOrdered; and when he gets his
hand in, TO speak, he will entertain the
country with some truly appalling appari-
lions. But, for a starter, the picture now
presented is no SLOUGH. Imperialism carried
on by seventy million people with an army
of one hundred thousand men shows talent
undoubtedly
1t seems a pity that Gompers should have
been allowed to put in his brush when such
artists were engaged. While the others are
depicting perils on an International scale
Gompers takes purely domestic view of
matters A larger army means death to the
American wage-earner when he shall assert
his rights, and a government by military
force alone Gompers thinks poorly of
the American working men. who number
millions and are the stay of the land to
insist that a hundred thousand men, en-
joying. like themselves, the boon of Amer-
can citizenship. could deprive them of their
just rights.

At Manila Admiral Dewey and General
Otis are maintaining with difficulty, and
under circumstances that must in some
measure be mortifying to themselves, the
dignity and authority of the American gov
eminent. They are making no progress.
They are not permitted to do more than
hold their own. But the insurgents are ac-
tive all about them. They are strengthen
ing themselves apparently against a day of
armed collision with the Americans They
observe that halt has been called on the
Americans. and they are encouraged by it,
and in their way profiting by it. Aguinaldo,
who has capacity for intrigue. is the busiest
man in the archipelago
At uoilo General Miller has three trans
potts loaded with troops. and his purpose in
going there was to land and assert author
ity. But the ships are at anchor and the
troops are still on board. The matter of
personal comfort for the men is not over
shadoving for part of the soldiers lot is
hardship; but it is something. The climate
is trying enough for the unacclimated on
shore. Ii must be twice as trying to such
men cooped up on shphoard under a burn
ing sun But the sense of humiliation must
be greater. 1t is a new experience for the
American soldier to find himself halted thus
in the presence of an uncivilized race,
which he has come to befriend, but which
is being encouraged to regard him an
enemy come to enslave and destroy.

The Democratic Attitude.


FROM the Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution freely confesses that it
neither understands nor appreciates the at
utude OF those democrats in the Senate
VINO are opposed to the ratification of the
treaty. We can understand and sympa-
thlZe with their opposition to the plan to
erect the philippines into vassal colony;
we can sympathize most heartily with their
opposition to anything that looks like CON
quest, such policy being foreign to our
history; out we cannot see what is to be
gained by a blind opposition to the treaty
mat document settles nothing but the
war itself. Ratified, it eliminates Spain,
and places the whole question of expansion
before the people on its merits.
AS there is no principle involved in the
ratification of the treaty, that document
merely putting an end to Spanish soyer-
eighty in the West Indies and in the Phil
lpplneS, we do not see what the democrats
are to gain by opposing it. 1t would be
quite otherwise If the defeat of the treaty
tended to establish any principle. As mat
tiers stand, the only meaning to be extract
ed from opposition to the treaty is the fact
that those who oppose it resent the result
OF the war which has deprived Spain of her
sovereignty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines.
We had hoped that opposition to the
treaty would be confined to the Spanish
party in Congress and to those, disgrun-
tied republicans who opposed Cuban indie
pendence from the beginning. We had
hoped that, if there was to be any display
VI d US94it W Contillut spanish rule where
it has found so many victims, democrats
would not form part of the spectacle.
The ratification of the treaty does not
mean the retention of the Philippines; it
does not even mean the holding of Porto
Rico as a vassal colony. Ratification sim
ply clears the decks, as it were removes
all confusing issues and leaves the people
and Congress face to face with the naked
issue. The treaty cannot be defeated Its
opponents can only place themselves in an
undesirable position by opposing 1t. The
ratification of the treaty does not mean
expansion, does not mean vaSsal colonies,
does not mean the retention of the Philip
pines 1t simply means a clearing away of
the confusing questions attendant on active
war, and places the democratic party in a
position where it can reasonably and pa
trioticaliy insist on giving to the Filipinos
the same rights and privileges of self-gov-
eminent which we are pledged to give to
the Cubans.
The democrat who, to further his own
views or personal opinions, seeks to place
his party in a false position takes a fearful
responsibility on himself.

present session. As The Star pointed out
Saturday, the bill lapses unless it becomes
a law before noon on March 4 and all the
work which has been done upon it thus far,
carrying it through the most difficult of the
legislative stages, must be done over again.
The rules of the House permit a brief treat
ment, compared with the hours and days
and weeks the Senate has consumed in dis
cussing it and its kindred topics. In a
measure of such magnitude there is. of
course, wide margin for amendment, and
this process of adjusting the proposition to
meet the minds of a majority of the legis-
lators will demand great care and some
time. Yet with the House rules available
and the privileged character of the confer
ence report to be relied upon should the
bill get that far, it is to be believed that
the measure can be put through at this ses-
sion if it is properly pushed.
