Ex- President Cleveland Talks About
 Expansion.

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 5.-Ex- President Cleveland, in reply to the request of a representative Of the Associated Press for an expression on the question of expansion and annexation, said: q do not care to repeat my.yiews concerning the pre- vaiIing epidemic of imperial and territorial expansion. Assuming, however, that my ideas on the sub ject are antiquated and unsuted to these progressive days, it is a mat ter of surprise to me thatthe refusal of certain natives of our new pos sessions to acquiesee in the benef- eenee of subjecting them to our control and mana cement should in tho least disturb our expansionists. This phase of the situation ought not to have been unant ticipated, nor the incidents naturally growing out Of it overlooked The remedy is ob vlous and simple. The misguided inhabitants ( f our annexed terrlto
 ry who prefer something different from the plan for their control which we propose, or who oppose our de- signs in their behalf, should not be checked by the prospective necessi- ty of destroying few thousand or few hundred thousand Filipinos. This should only be regarded as one stage in a transcendan tally great movement, a mere incident of it's pr ogress. Of course some unprepar ed souls would then be lost before we had the opportunity of Chris tia- izing them, but surely those of our clergymen who have done SC much to encourage expansion could manage that difficulty"

FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT.
Any Departure From That Principle
 Causes Complications

In discussing the prospects for tte present year, Senator James K. Jones says
 1T am a strong believer in a re- publican form of government and in the ability of the people 10 direct their own affairs. There will be presented to congress and the peo- pie during the coming year many questions of the gravest character closely affecting the present and future welfare Of all the people, but I have an abiding faith that these questions will be finally settled in a manner most likely to advance the interests ot the people of this counS try.
 For myself, am unalterably op- posed to any departure from the principles of government upon which this country was organized a hundred years ago, and in defense of which it severed it's connection with the mother country.
 q am unwilling to allow any peo- pie on earth to dictate to Us what form of government we shall live under, and I am opposed to under taking to compel other people to submit to such dictation at our bands, because it is written that what measure ye mete it shall be measured 50 you again.
 If the people are allowed to fol low their own judgment the govern. ment of the people, by and for the people shall not perish from the earth"
