in New York, the party column system

AN IMPOSSIBLE PLAN
Fresno Republican: The plan just
now being exploited by the New York
Herald to trade the Philippine ISL
ands for the British West Indies, is a
plausible one on it's face, but it will
hardly stand the test of practical analy-
sis. If it were simply a question Of
taking our choice, probably most of us
would prefer the British West Indies
to the Philippines. The Philippines
will eventually be worth more, and they
thrust us advantageously into an in
ternational arena where there is much
to be gained, but only by much striv-
ing We would rather escape both the
striving and the prize, and be content
with the easier gain nearer home.
But have we the choice? Upon what
pretext could we decently enter the
British West Indies, and what sort Of
a. right could we give England in ex-
change to enter the Philippines? 1t
is the fashion in some quarters to sneer
at the moral sentiments involved in
the Philippine question, but it is never
theless fact that without these sem
timents the whole movement becomes
impossible. The Philippine Commission
has just issued a proclamation to the
natives, full of high sounding senti-
ments, and we might as we'll lay aside
our cynicism long enough to ac-
knowledge that these senti-
ments are genuine. We say to the, ma
tions of the world: 1--WE have a respon-
sibility in the Philippines which we will
not shirl1.' We say to the natives: "We
come here in good WILL to give you the
blessings of peace, civilization and good
government, and to grant you all the
liberty that you will consent to use in
peace
