Hon. d. w. Lawler, the proml-
nent democratic lawyer and poll
tician of St. Paul, in an address
delivered at Rochester, Mimi,
July 4th, in speaking of the Phil
ippine question said:
We hear much nowadays about ex-
pansion and Imperialism. For myself,
am not frightened by epithets or
catchwords and will be ready when the
time comes to express in public and in
private my convictions on the subjects
which have been mentioned; but my
fellow citizens, imperialism and expan-
sion are not issues of today. They
may be issues OF tomorrow. There is
but one issue today, growing out OF
the Spanish war, aud that is the issue
that is being fought out by American
citizens in the Philippine jungles. by
the waters OF the Asiatic sea. So long
as a single American soldier is in the
| field striving to uphold the honor OF
his country's flag. reconize one, and
only one duty, and that is the duty OF
every American citizen, democrat, re-
publican or populist, to hold up the
hands of the president of this republic,
COMMUNICATIVE of the American
army. On this issue parties cannot
aud will not divide. And he little
knows the temper of the people Of this
land who for partisan gain attempts to
manufacture an issue out of a condition
caused by war for justice and human
5Iity, approved by the enlightened sense
of civilization and originating in the
purest and holiest motives. The for.
tunes of that war brought beneath thai
flag great domain, rich in natural re
sources, but shattered and discovered
!. by the horrors of civil strife. The
American people would be false te
every standard Of right and duty If i
were to haul down the flag, recall th'
victorious ships of Dewey's feet ant
turn the islands over again to ruin ant
anarchy. Peace and quiet will be re
stored by the strong hand of this re
public, and then in frmness, in homo
! and in justice will be solved the prob
lens OF the future.

Ex-Mayor Matthews of Boston,
in an address made III fremont
Temple on the 4th of July, among
other things gave voice to the
following, which should receive
the endorsement of every Amer1-
can citizen:
The question is not whether we shall
let the Philippines govern themselves,
but whether we shall allow small por-
tion Of them to mis-govern all the rest.
We have no more right to abandon the
islands and their occupants to savage
or semi-civilized misrule than Dewey
had TO scuttle his ships after the
battle OF Manila. AS trustees we can
notresign. The practical duty of the
United States, which no amount of his
torical misinformauion will enable us
honorably to avoid, is to re-establlsh
peace and civil order in the Philip
pine Islands and to do it at once. and
then to formulate scheme of govern
ment for the islands, framed for the
sole purpose of promoting the material
welfare and political progress of their
inhabitants. Precedents for the ad.
ministration of some of the islands
may be found in the history of the
United States. Suggestions fer gov
erhment of others may be offered by
the experience of other countries il
similar undertakings. The main diff
Guilty to be apprehended is not in de
yising plans OF government, but in ths
|execution of them.

and overpopu1ated country IS to
be the hired man or renter for
the man with the acres; that it
means hard work, long hours and
small pay, and means too, that
he can have no permanent home,
no security for the roof over his
head, and no certainty that his
children will ever haye anything
better. The highest ambition of
every true American boy today
should be to own at least few
acres of land over which floats
the flag of his country and then
upon the land some day to erect
and own an independent, self
supporting home. No allure
neuts, however fair, should be
permitted to turn him from this
purpose. To live there with
those he loves, a broad-minded,
we'll informed citizen; an intelli-
gent producer, instead of consul
ner of wealth; independent in
everything from his bread to his
ballot should be a badge of suf-
6cient distinction to satisfy the
most ambitious breast.

The biggest trust after all is the
newspaper. 1t trusts almost every
body, and for that reason the people

that is worked to the limit, and the

The trusting soul who goes down in his

besides prairie air to keep the trust in
