out of it.
It is too late to further discuss the
wisdom or unwisdom of the ratification
of the treaty without assurance from
the administration that it did not de-
sign to keep these antipodean islands
permanently as territory of the United
States. That step has been taken ir-
revocably and the imperial party have
gained a mighty advantage, for, by the
terms of the treaty, the islands are
technically, if not in fact, territory of
the United States, and their semi-sav-
age inhabitants citizens thereof, tech
nically in rebellion. And for the tech
nical possession of this beautiful mess
and for the privilege Of going to war
to subjugate a savage alien race, we
are to pay s2o,00O,OOO!
This is the situation confronting us
and which we must accept with all
the Christian fortitude and resignation
we can summon.

THE TRIUMPH OF RIGHT.

Confronted by the certain knowledge
that the contemplated steal of the seat
of Senator Kidd could not be forced
down the Threats of certain Republican
Senators who have regard for honor
and decency and the rights of the
people, the trickSters who have been
eldeavoring to manipulate this open
theft were yesterday compelled to
abandon their scheme and Morris, the
Republican contestant, who had no
more right to the seat than the man in
the moon, gracefully withdrew his
farcical claims, and Mr.. Kidd will be
seated to-day.
Thus the open theft to secure one
more holdover for Senator Elkins in

as TO THE TREATY

We were promised that with the rati-
fication Of the treaty, the worst feature
of the situation would have passed and
that Congress could settle the status
of the Philippines and the difficulty
with the natives in short order. But
as intelligent people in and out Of the
Senate foresaw, the difficulty is only
brought to a head by ratification. The
treaty in it's present shape is precisely
the cause of contention, and the
Filipinos are but confirmed in their
hostile attitude by its ratification. In
stead of peaceful settlement by nego-
tiation, we must now subjugate the
Filipinos before any understanding at
all can be arrived at, whereas before a
simple frank utterance from the ad-
ministration that it was not our gov
ernment's intention to annex the Phil
ippines and subject it's people and de-
stroy their own free government,
would have prevented the present I'M
fortunate and disastrous situation.
The ratification of the treaty has sim
plified the situation, it is true, but only
to the extent of confirming the suspi-
ciOns of the Filipinos as to our gov
ernments designs on their independ-
ence and cementing a condition OF &C
tual war which might easily have been
avoided had the administration been
really innocent of an intention to an
mex the islands and overthrow the in
dependent Filipino government and had
it so stated. The refusal of the admins
tration to do so or to define its attl-
tude simply confirmed the suspicion
both at home and abroad, that its in
tention was to hold the islands perma-
nently, and is wholly responsible for
the present situation, which has simply
been delayed until now by the delay
and uncertainty as to the ratification
of the treaty. Certain it is the Fill
pinos would have inaugurated hostili-
ties a month ago had they been assured
the treaty would pass in its present
shape.

1t will hardly improve Senator Elk
mss chances for 1901 that the attempt
to steal the seat of Senator Kidd was
not carried through. The intention of
the Elkins henchmen was perfectly
plain to perpetrate this theft to pro-
vide the big boss of them all with one
more holdover pledged to vote for him
in 1901. 1t failed only at the last mo-
ment. When the people again have an
opportunity to express their opinion on
the subject they will not lose sight Of
this fact and it will be found that moth
ing in the way of stolen holdovers
would have availed Mr.. Elkins aught,
even had the programme to seal every
Democratic seat in the Senate been put
through. The Republican bosses in
this State from top to bottom are DOOM
ed. They are a stencil in the nostrils
of honest men.

Still, the revolutionists of the Senate
cannot complain, for they have gotten
one United States Senator out of the
job as far as it was carried-providing
the United States Senate shall decide
the choice legal-for Mr.. Scott was only
elected by one vote and had Kidd been
allowed to vote, as he was entitled to,
Mr.. Scott would have failed of cleo
ton. Which is another point that
should be carefully presented to the
Senate.
Meanwhile, the decent citizens of the
State, regardless of party, owe a debt
of gratitude to Senator'S Whitaker and
Fast, whose outspoken opposition to
this steal of their party bosses is really
responsible for its abandonment.
Those gentlemen have proven that they
hold the will of the people and the
integrity of the ballot above partisan
advantage, and the Register salutes
them as political foemen, whose hon
esty and courageous manhood all the
people must admire.

ANINCoNsisTaNT ORGAN.

Revolutionist Whites organ, the
Parkersburg Journal, in speaking of the
ballots in the Kidd case, which had
been paved over for weeks by unscru-
pulous Republican politicians until
there was absolutely no guarantee that
they had not been tempered with, says:
The slly and vicious charge that these
ballots, which were all regularly noted.
described and excepted to on the recount
had by the county court could by any
villiany be changed or manipulated, is
an insult to the Intelligence of the com
mittee and the honor of the county clerk.
Yet this, to the very letter, is the
precise charge made by this and other
constituencies Republican organs in the
Taylor county case, although in that
case there never was an instant of time
during which the ballots could have
been tempered with except by conniv-
ance of Republican officials, who had
entire charge of them.

solemn conviction when the shoe is

10 Be Hurried Forward on the Sheridan
for the Relief OF General Otis

for the Relief OF General Otis
New York, February 6.-The work of
preparing the army transport Sheridan
for her long voyage to the Philippines
goes on with undated vigor. Those
who are in charge of this task are de-
termined that the troopship shall leave
on time. The galvanized iron frames
for the hunks are all in place now, but
have not had the canvas laced to them
yet. The Sheridan finished coaling last
night and also received a good part of
her ballast. The latter was transferred
to her from barges. 1t is said that the
date for sailing is February "A.
The troops that the ship will carry
are the Twelfth infantry, which is now
at Fort Jefferson barracks, ST. Louis,
and the Third battalion of the Seven
tenth infantry, which is at Columbus,
Ohio. The arrival of the Third batta1-
ion in Manila will reunite the regiment
and bring it UP to its full strength
The Twelfth regiment is expected here
on February 8. Quartermaster NJ L.
Hersey and Quartermaster Sergeant c.
Lindsay have arrived here to arrange
for the reception of the regiment on
the Sheridan.

TIE CONDITION THAT CoNFRoNTs

Now that the treaty has been rati-
fed and the United States are in pos
session of the Philippines, as far as
Spain is able to put us in possession of
what had utterly passed out of her
hands and control, we are lin for it,
for certain. The Filipinos, who regard
it, and with reason, as but a change Of
masters, have simply transferred their
open hostility from Spain to the United
States, and this great Republic is now
placed in the anomalous position of
warning to subjugate a foreign people
who are fighting for their independ-
ence. This is the situation in a nut

their solemn claim that all was fair and
proper in the hocus pocus by which it
was proposed to rob Senator Kidd of
his seat. After the first count and the
recount by Republicans had shown
Kidd elected by 141 majority, for these
brazen organs and their bosses to eX-
pect the people to accept the result of
a third counting of the same ballots,
done exclusively by Republicans, as the
true result of the election, was just a

My second child got eczema when seven
months old. Three months later my first child
got it, and following him, the last one, two
years old. For twenty months they suffered
fearful agony. Their whole bodies, especially
their faces, were so sore and raw that they
were blind half the time. No words can
describe the suffering of my second child,
whose whole body was one bloody mass. He
was constantly crying, could get no sleep, and
he actually did not look human. Tried doctor

WE MUST FIGHT 1T OUT.

There remains but one course of
action to pursue in the Philippine
embroglio. The ratification of the
treaty in the face of the protests
of the Filipino Republic have shut off
all hope of the pacification of the Fill
pinos except by the use of powder and
shot, and we must now enlist another
mighty army to take up the work OF
subjugating these people where Spain
left off defeated we now have but
about $1,000 troops in the islands-a
mere handful-and we must immediate
ly begin the transportation of more
soldiers to this deadly climate to battle
in the jungle with these savages; and
the government, instead of thinking
about repeating the war taxes in
response to the universal demand, must
set about devising more taxes on the
people to get more millions with which
to carry on our new war, which threat
ems to be of that interminable class
which the imperial nations of Europe
are forever waging in their Dependent
cies.
To sum up, the situation means the
sacrifice of the lives of more American
soldiers and the expenditure of more
millions upon millions of money, and
no man can now foresee when the sacri
fees will stop.
1t is no longer a theory, but a con-
dition, that contronts us. and this is
the condition the American people are
now compelled to deal with.
