Not n Relevant Question,

Some of our contemporaries are re-
ferring to\a petition which was recently
sent to the United States senate asking
that body to amend the peace treaty so
as to not transfer sovereignty of the
Philippines from Spain to the United
States In opposition to our declared pol
icy, without the consent of their inhab-
itants. nor to violently annex them.

Union and their people American citi-
Zens." Our neighbor refers to this pc
tltion, which was sent In just before
the outbreak at Manila. gives names OF
some of the distinguished signers. and
declares they voice the sentiments Of
the vast majority Of intelligent and
patriotic Americans"
The portion Of the petition referred to
was all right. but 1t was not u augges-
ton OF u question relevant to the treaty
itself. II was with reference to the
future policy of this government toward
the Philippines, which was left an open
question by the treaty. Votes for the
treaty did not involve an endorsement
OF any proposition to make the Philip
Pine Islanders citizens OF the United
States. with or without their consent.
To surrender them bacl; TO Spain would
have been violation OF faith. Scna-

Wheeling Must Have 1t,

II Congressman Dovener succeeds in
getting that bill for the building of a
new government building in Wheeling
through Congress he will be entitled to
public reception when he returns to
Wheeling. There isn't city in the
country of Wheeling's Importance more
in need of such an Improvement, nor is
there one which has been more neglect
ed. 1t is q matter of surprise, but it
Is true, that in West Virginia there
are at least three cities without half the
population or volume of business that
can show up more creditable, more
modern. better equipped and more
roomy federal buildings than Wheeling
can show.
The hearts of this community will be
with the captain in his cndeavor, but II
he doesn't succeed in the present Con-
gress the initiative movement will be
Of advantage to him in the next, to
which the people of the First district
elected him by the largest majority
given any candidate in West Virginia
last fall In the meantime let the citl-
Zens help to push the matter.

tors who stand precisely where these
petitioners do on this important ques-
lions voted to ratify the treaty. 1t Is
known to everybody that the treaty
does not prescribe the course Of this
country with reference to the sort OF
government for, or even the disposal
OF the islands. That is wholly mat
ter for Congress to deal with.
But there are other matters the Pc
titioners brought up In support of their
position, and which have been brought
up by so-called anti-expansionlsts as
arguments against the acquisition of
any new territory, whatever the condl-
lions. One Is the question of precedence,
and the opposition of Daniel Webster
and other distinguished statesmen to
the annexation Of Texas is cited. In
Tuesdays issue Of the Louisville Cour-
Ter Journal. Henry Watterson, COM
menting on the citation, remarks that
whatever constitutional objections have
been urged against the acquisition Of
territory in the past they were dlsre-
garded and new precedents established.
The Courier Journal says, with truth:
The opponents OF the acquisition OF our
vast now territory argue they ever so we'll,
are arguing on obsolete conditions. Old
theories never stood In our way in ac-
B curing the great northwest, Louisiana,
Texas, California, New Mexico and Arl-
IONA and Alaska. When we have felt
the need of additional territory and the
way has been opened to US to acquire It
honorably we have taken 1t always. There
Is more reason now for the acquisition Of
the Philippines than there was for appro-
prlatlng the great western and southern
territories.
These assertions are based on history
which the present generation in no way
regrets. The opposition to the acqulsl-
ton of our great western and southern
territory, now comprising twenty-five
Of our states and territories. was as bit
ter and as prophetic of evil results us
the present opposition to anything con-
templating the extension of American
civilization and commerce is. No mat
ter what the provisions Of the future by
Congress shall be, history will vindi-
cate. IL the same amount Of wise dis
cretion is exercised as has been In the
past. and by our present government in
dealing with the questions Of the past
year. Certain it is the Filipinos are not
to be made citizens of this country, nor
are the Philippines to be made state

AN UNWARRANTED HOWL.

New York Times: Ever since Gen
eral (then ColoneD Funston sent home
a letter in which be expressed the
hope that "the blighting curse of
Populism might be removed from
Kansas at the next election there
have been grave doubts among the
Populistic politicians of that state
whether the little volunteer was quite
so glorious hero as had previously
been supposed. The doubts grew as
time went ON, and the "blighting
curse phrase rankled deeper and
deeper. Finally it was decided that
Funston was the product, if not the
invention, Of an adroit press agent
This amiable theory has been set
forth atsgreat length and in minute
detail by the Atchison Globe. 1t de-
clares that the press agents name is
John NJ. Steele, that he is an eN-
perienced newspaper man, and that
he has taken great pains to exploit
the Twentieth Kansas regiment and
such of its officers as-well, as he
deemed it eXpedient TO bring and
keep before the public eye. steele is
himself a member of the regiment,
and before he left San Francisco made
terms for letters with number Of
Western papers. Hence, according to
the theory, the rise TO fame of Funston
and Major Metcalf, and hence, too, the
obscurity, mitigated only by occasion
al brief disparagement, of Lieutenant
Colonel Little. One hardly knows
whether to be disgusted or amused
by this revelation-not of the press
agents existence, but of vengeiul
anger ON the part of the politicians
whom Funston's words offended Be
yOnd question the exploits of the Kan
sans, both privates and officers, have
not been kept hidden under Il bushel.
Why should they have been conceal
ed? On the other hand, the angry
Populists will try in vain tH make he
country at large believe that Steele,
even if he had tried to do so, could
have done more than tell the truth
II he has done it well, that was his
business as newspaper man, and if
the telling did not interfere with his
duty as a soldier-and nobody says
it did-Kansas ought to be grateful
for whatever advertising he has given
her and her sons. The idea that
Steele could influence the regular cor
respondents or the commanding gen
erals is absurd, and neither the one
nor the other have shown any sus-
picions as to the reality Of Funston's
courage or the brilliance of his
exploits.

TT WAS FUNSTON's FIGHT.

MAJOR Bishop, Of Salina, writing
OF the battle of Calumpit, says: This
scrap at Calumpit was 10y far the
best fight we have been i'm and it
was Colonel Funston's fight from start
to finish. The Colonel, with lot of
picked men, crossed the river and
broke through the insurgent lines,
and Company X and my company
crossed at the railroad and went up
against the best line Of insurgents we
have seen on the island We drove
them up the track about one and a
half miles and there we sighted Apalit
with train just pulling out. We
sent volley after volley at the engine,
but could not stop it. The insurgent
line was in plain sight across a field
and was many times longer than ours.
We had plenty of soldiers coming,
but it took them long time to get
across the river.

To BE Cheerful.

Inc sovereign voluntary path to
cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully.
to look round cheerfully, and to act
and speak as If cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else on that occasion can. So to feel
brave, act as il we were brave, use al
our will to that end, and a courage-fit
will very likely replace the fit of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a
person to whom we have been mimi
cal, the only way is more or less de-
liberately to smile, to make sympa-
thetic inquiries, and to force ourselves
to say genial things. One hearty laugh
together will bring enemies into a
closer communion of heart than hours
spent on both sides in inward wres-
Ting with the mental demon of un-
charitable feeling. To wrestle with a
bad feeling only pins our attention on
it, and keeps it still fastened in the
mind, whereas if we act as if from
some better feeling, the old bad feel
ing soon folds its tent like an Arab
and silently steals away.-Prof. James
in Scribner's.
