THE Every Evening continues to
attack the Administration because
Of the wax in the Philippines. The
object of these attacks is to pave
the way to defeat the Republicans
and elect free trader to the Pres
idency. Patriots, however, will
stand by the Government and car
ry out its policy. Archbishop Kahn
of st Louis, Mo-, on being asked
for an expressions of opinion as to
the course which should be pur-
sued in the Philippines SAID:
1.-THE United States should at
once proceed to deal with the Phil
ippine question with a firm hand.
Twas not in favor of the war, but
since we have raised our flag over
the Philippine Islands, we should
make the authority of the United
States supreme there, even if 1t be-
comes necessary to send 200, 900
troops there to do it. All Christian
nations look to us to accomplish
that end. We cannot go backward;
we must not shirk the task we have
undertaken. 1t is impossible that
we should abandon the islands,
now that we have taken hold OF
them. From the viewpoint of hui
mainly, from the viewpoint of rellg-
ion and from the viewpoint of our
national honor, l say that the ad-
ministration should take hold of
this question now with firm hand,
and not desist until the rebellion is
put down. If we were to nluish
the Philippines to their fate, Eng
land, Germany, Russia or some
other nation would step in the very
next day and assert their right to
restore order there and to protect
human life and property
In former times Republicans said
"measures not men," Now it is
held by many that men are more
important than measures and if this
or that particular set cannot con-
troll the Offices, the party and its
policy may go to the dogs, thus
showing that selishness and not
patriotism has the upper band.
The protective policy, an honest
dollar, and general prosperity have
ceased to influence the political
course of men and the pauperizing
of the country would follow if
wholesome legislation depended on
the sacrifice of their seltishness and
the elevation of some one else to Of
flee or leadership. The success of
the party, the prosperity OF the
country are secondary consldera-
tons and leadership of primary
Importance. The time has come for
all to pause and think. Men should
be patriots as well as Republicans
and they should sacrifice their pref
erences for the public good and not
break down the party to punish
rival or reward friend. The pub
lie good should be the chief object
and not self ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
COLLECTOR Parlett now has a
chance to set himself right with the
Wilmington Republicans. When
he was asked to appoint a Repub-
= lican in this CITY in Liquor Guager
Knights place, he wrote back say
ing he was sorry, but the position
was under civil service rule. Since
the President, with single stroke
OF his pen, has placed some ten
thousand ottlces IN the revenue and
other Federal departments outside
the bar OF tlvll service, Collector
Parlett should give the Wilmington
Republicans some recognition
IT IS right and fitting that Walter
H. Bacon should be dlsbarred from
practiclng before the New Castle
county bar Mr.. Bacon has been
cautioned tor number OF years to
behave himself, but instead of get
ting better, he has been gradually
going from bad to worse, until now
the Bar Association is called on
to disbar him. No young man had
con whcn he was admitted 10 nrac.
tirc at thc bar, but unfortunately
for him. he practjced too much and
TOO often at the wrong bar, for his
own rood
