The army which the British
government has sent to South
Africa is the largest that ever
crossed the sea. It comprises
$4,000 men, and 10000 more will
be sent shortly. There are now
$4,000 soldiers of the United
States in the Philippine islands,
and $4,000 more are either on the
way or ready for embarkation.
The Duke Of Wellington had only
10000 British soldiers in the
struggle with Napoleon. Sixteen
thousand fought with Marlborough
at Blenheim. Twenty-six thou
sand men were sent under Lord
Raglan to the Crimea, 10000 to
India under Lord Give, 10000 to
Egypt under Wolseley. The maxi
mum force of EngIishmen en-
gagged at eDy one time in suppress
ing the revolution of the Ameri-
can colonies was about 10000.

Capt. r. p. McHugh of Co. E of the

from Adjutant General Miller, enclosing
a copy of the general order issued by
Governor Fancher to the officers of the
several companies, for their guidance in
the reorganization OF the state militia,
since the return from active service of
the companies that went through the
Philippine campaign The general
order states that the companies that
were in servjcce in the Philippines will
be made again active parts Of the state
troops. as the officers and men are
generally anxious to see the work of re-
formation OF the atetroops accomplished
There are already three companies of
militia III the service, and with the eight
companies from the volunteers v,ill give
the state eleven companies of infantry.
1t is more than probable that another
company will be organized from Grand
Forks, and this would give the state
twelve companies of infantry, which
would be a full regiment under the new
army regulations. Langdons militia

PAST AND PRESENT.

PAST AND PRESENT.
When ex-senator Edmunds |
recently called attention to the
fact that the United States govern
ment, three-quarters of a century
ago, assisted the people of Central
and South America toward ma
tional independence and self
government, refusing to use Its
power for its own selfish profit,
he inferentially drew a strong
contrast between the Americanism
of those days and that brand of
Americanism now represented by
the Mckinley administration.
There would have been a far
more legitimate cause for an
American policy looking to the
annexation of these countries, now
free in their own right and enjoy
ing the blessings of liberty and
selt-government than can arise in
the case of the Philippines, 1000
miles distant in the Old World.
Their territory formed part of
the western hemisphere; they
we're we'll within the natural
sphere of influence of the United
States, it might reasonably have
been commended that they would
be unable to maintain their
independence. But true Ameri-
canism prevailed in our govern.
ment then, and we refused to re-
pudiate American teachings and
principles for territorial gain.
The Mckinley administration
is not withheld by any such re.
gard for American doctrine, how.
ever. When our war with Spail
began, the people of the Philip
pines had long been engaged in T
struggle for independence from
Spanish rule. Their every victory
was hailed by US as q victory o.
patriots. At one time they were
recognized by us as allies in opera
tons against Spain. One result
of our war with Spain was the
acquisition of sovereign rights
over their country. At once we
took the place of Spain, refusing
independence to the Filipinos ane
forcing them into enmity agains
this government. At that momen
we ceased calling them patriots
they became rebels.
Three quarters of a century ag'
this course would have been i'm
possible to al American admins
tration. We were faithful then t,
the principles upon which GU
own government rested. W.
would not seek to deprive weake
peoples of that liberty which w
had solemnly declared to he tin
birthright of all peoples. We ar
different now. We are willing t,
deprive other peoples Of liberty i
they are not strong enough t,
successfully resist us. This is
shameful and humiliating chang
Of American policy. The Ameri
can people should recognize it
significance and ask themselves
they approve it's being put int
effect.
