New York SinEIe-Taxers Fail to Rec
ognsze9 His Republic.
New York, July S.-There was a lively
meeting OF thesManhattan Single Tax Club
last evening AT its headquarters, No. 119
East Twenty-third Street caused by the
introduction of a resolution condemning
the war againsti the Filipino insurgents.
The resolution. which caused a heated
general discussion and had been reported
on favorably by the board of directors, was
as follows: N
Resolved, That the Manhattan Single Tax Club
unquaiihedy condemns the which the Presi-
dent of the United States is carrying on against
the Philippine Islanders, inasnuch as the princi-
pies OF the Declaration of Independence being
violated and the rights of transgressed. We
hold II safe and sound principle OF government
that the just powers OF government are derived
from the consent OF the governed, and not from
the cannon's mouth, and that this principle is as
applicable to the people of the Philippine ISL
ands as to those of the United States.
G. Frank Stephens, of Philadelphia, who
at the last Jeffersonian dinner of the club
prayed for the defeat of the American
Army In the Philippines, was not present.
J. J. Murphy, who besides being mem
ber OF the parent club is also president of
the Harlem Single Tax Club, introduced
an amendment to recognize the indepen-
dence Of the Philippine rebuplic.
In what banana tree is the Philippine
republic located this week." enquired an
unknown voice from the rear of the ball.
Put him out! Put him out!' were the
prompt exclamations from all parts Of
the room.
After some desultory remarks Mr. MUIR
phys amendment was defeated. as the ma
jority of those present seemed to think
that the Filipino republic ought to be def
nitely located before it should be recog-
nized. After more discussion the original
resolution condemning the war against the
Filipinos was adopted almost unanimously.
President Samuel Seabury said: ''Will it
be safe to send a notice of the action of
the club to Ensign Edwin H. De Lany, OF
the Olympia, who Is a member of the
club and who fought vigorously under
Dewey for the fag?"
DE Lany is all right said Secretary
Henry Simpson. He fought the Span
iards to free the Cubans, but both Dewey
and De Lany are opposed TO shooting down
patriots | have it pretty straight that the
only reason Dewey is coming home is be-
cause he is opposed to numbering men who
are struggling for their liberty. Unless
otherwise directed, | shall certainly send
the notice TO Ensign De Lany, as well as
TO every member not present tonight
It was decided to make no exceptions in
sending out the notice to absent memebrs
James K. Brown, chairman Of the agita-
tion committee. proposed three cheers for
Dewey and De Lany."
Make il three cheers for De Lany and
Dewey interjected Benjamin Doblin.
When there was danger OF another dis
pute Director George p Hampton said:
Lets split the difference. ana give three
cheers for De Lany now. and when he and
Dewey come home, if Dewey is opposed to
shooting down Filipinos. well give some
more cheers for Dewey.
The meeting then broke Up BY giving
three cheers for the Filipinos and De Lany.
Deweys ensign.
