HERE'S RICHNESS.

The Senate revolutionists and their
organs pluming themselves on their
fairness" in the Kidd case, is one of
the uproariously funny things of the
to make this boast in view of their I'M
broken record unparalleled in this case
for unfairness and dishonest PARTISAN
ship.
There never was at any time from
the first count of the ballots any room
whatever for doubt of the election
face of the returns showed this and the
official count verified it. A recount
conducted by Republican officials fail
ed to show anything different and left
Senator Kidd with a clear majority of
141.
Still determined to steal this seat, or
at least to prevent Mr.. Kidd from vot-
ing for Senator-their main object-the
revolutionists, after the ballots had
been carried hither and thither and
fingered by various Republican polite
ians until no sane body would accept
them as evidence of the true result of
the election, a third count was demand
ed. And now, after the Democrats had
positively refused to have anything
more to do with the outrage, and hon
est Republicans in the Senate had open
ly declared they would not counter
ance SO palpable a theft, after the
game was thus blocked in spite of all
their efforts to push it through, these
political buccaneers and their organs
have the brazen effrontery to boast of
their fairness" in this case. After
fraudulently holding Senator Kidd out
OF the seat to which everyone knew he
was honestly elected until they had
thus unlawfully elected a United States
Senator, which they could never have
done with Kidd voting as he was en-
titled to, these constituencies revolu-
tionists have the cast-iron hardihood
to speak of their ''fairness!"
Language fails to express honest cit
liens sentiments on this subject
Suffice it to say that if there is any
sense of justice, regard for the rights
of the people in the election of Senators
or the sanctity Of the ballot in the Re-
publican majority in the United States
Senate, the beneficiary of this exhibit
ion of fairness" by these revolution
lists will never be permitted to occupy
the seat of the representative of this
State in that august body.

1t was stated on Monday and has not
been denied yet that the administration
compassed the ratification of the treaty
by promising certain Senators opposed
to it that the President would re-
nounce the scheme of annexation and
Ceal with the Philippines as it is pro-
posed to deal with Cuba.
If it is true that the administration
made such a promise, it is little short
of criminal that its announcement
should have been withheld from the
Filipinos before the bloody outbreak

of Saturday. Had the President dis
avowed a policy of criminal aggres-
SION toward the Philippines, thou
sands CT lives would have been saved
and fearful and possibly intermin-
able war averted.
This affair must stand as the most
gigantic blunder of the administration
if it be true that the President did not
intend to carry out the policy of an
nexation or to overthrow the Filipino
republic. In that case it was an I'M
necessary, wanton and Infamous sac
rifice of thousands of the lives of our
soldiers and the natives of these ISL
ands, and the Stars and Stripes for
the first time in history is made to
stand as menace instead of friendly
beacon to people struggling for indie
pendence, while American arms are
STEPPED in the blood of patriots fight
ing as our own forefathers fought for
liberty!
If such a promise was made simply
to win two votes for the treaty, without
intention of keeping it, it is crime
against our own people who are thus
betrayed into policy in opposition to
all their most cherished traditions and
which they abhor as un-American and
unrighteous.
The President ought to speak plainly
to the country on this matter. II view
Of the terrible situation in the Philip
pines the American people are in no
humor for more wire-pulling and secret
plotting. Was such a promise made
with the Presidents knowledge and if
SO why was it withheld from the Fill
pinos until too late? And if it is to be
kept-if the President is not in favor
OF annexation and subjugation of the
Filipinos-why is the announcement
not now made and further hostilities
and loss of life averted?
