parade somewhat along the lines in
dicated for the carnival OF parishes.
Advertising floats designed by the
merchants themselves will be ar
ranged around the course of the race
track. An entrance fee will very
likely be charged for this, and in
terest will be stimulated by tue offer
OF suitable money prize.
Another matter OF general inter-
est Is the fact that there will be .
flower parade. THIS also partakes
largely of the nature OF an enter
tainment, aud though it will very
likely be given over to the horhcul-
tural committee for management,
the flower parade should, however,
not be confounded in any manner
with the 10 wer show. The latter is
4 fixed exhibit, while tue former is
a parade Of vehicles OF every de-
scription whose nature would admit
OF high floral ornamentation. Such
. pageant was recently given in
Atlanta, aud there was the keenest
SOFT of competition engendered be-
tween owners of vehicles who wed
with one another in adorning with
natural and artificial flowers their
carriages, phaetons and victorias.
For this form Of entertainment
special prizes will be offered, but
their nature has not yet been de-
tesmined.
The management has fixed the
following special dates:

IreIand's Experiment.

Ireland commenced a new and
promising experiment, says the
Pittsburg Post, with the opening
of the new year in the science Of
self-government. The local gov
ernment act, conceded by the
Conservative ministry, and gener-
ally accepted by the Liberals and
Home Rule Nationalists as move
in the right direction, is now in
operation, comforting on the
Irish people the same rights Of
local government enjoyed by the
English and Scotch people. The
Irish are quick to enter the arena
Of home politics, and a dispatch
says that the country is fairly
placarded with the addresses OF
the candidates tor membership OF
the District Councils which the
act establishes, and appeals from
landlords and former grand
jurors are posted beside those
OF tenant farmers and laborers.
Parties are already in process OF
formation on the line Of cleavage
Of landlord and tenant. The latter
adhere to their old principles OF
home rule. The landlords promise
better conditions. The Irish lead
ers are divided, OF course. They
generally are. John Redmond
advises the peopleto accept the new
departure IN good faith, arguing
that a successful administration of
the act will lead to an extension
OF self government. John Dillon
on the other hand, exhorts his toll
lowers to continue home rule agi-
tation in the councils. 1t is nota-
BILE, however, that there is a re-
markable subsistence OF political
agitation in Ireland, which is traced
to greater prosperity and the new
local government law.

through which they can destroy
our liberties and break down our
Democratic Republic. This is a
big conspiracy of the money In
terests, syndicates and trusts.
They fear the uprising OF the
masses against them, and tor that
purpose they want big standing
army to shoot down the people.
They do not care for the Fill
piuos, but they want to use a war
with them to attain their iavorite
end; a standing army, which in
peace times they could not other
wise we'll get.

try, they are the ones that are most

The European Situation More
threatening.

In the light of the most recent
European events it is difficult to
sustain the hope that peace can
much longer be preserved on that
continent. The sources Of irrita-
ton are too many and too varied
to predict at what particular point
that is between which nations
the arbitrament Of battle will first
be resorted to. Whenever and
wherever it comes, it is safe to say
that the casus belli-,the immedi-
ate occasion for hostilities-will
be a trivial thing, mere pretext
for the real causae belli, the actual
reasons for animosity which are
already heapei up high, where
ever we may look
The smooth manner in which
the Fashoda matter between Eng
land and France was brushed
aside some time ago could not
but have melted suspicion as to
the sincerity OF the nations in inter-
est, and now that the British press,
including the conservative Tunes,
is goading the Gov rnment on to
radical measures in Egypt, a clash
must come sooner or later. Be-
sides ndings and bick-
ering have arisen between the two
nations in Madagascar.
In Austria the Emperor Francis
Joseph is reported to be i'll and de-
clining rapidly. He has no direct
heir. There can be no reasonable
doubt that with his death will come
the severance Of Hungary from the
empire. The strange thing is shat
it has not occurred long ago. The
most common reason assigned is
that the personality OF the old
Emperor alone, who has always
had the affection OF the people,
despite his tree an6 easy lite, has
held the countries together so far.
When that dissolution comes the
balance of European power will tip
one way or another, Germany will
be the first to stretch out an eager
hand, justifying her course by
pleading identity OF race with the
Austrians proper. We may be
sure that Russia will not look on
idly, and there will perhaps follow
a rearraIgement that will give the
map makers plenty Of work.
Wherever the first spark may fall,
the hre will probably involve all
Europe on account OF the interde-
pendence OF the nations and the
delicacY with which the interna
tional balance is poised.

MCKINLEY ana the Philippines.

The President leaves no doubt
in the minds of the people of this
country as to his purpose in regard
to the Philippines. There is to be,
first, government within the abso-
Lutte domain Of military authority"
in other words, military des-
potism. And then the "assimila-
ton" Of American ideas, under
duress, by 5000, 900 Of mongrels
and savages, and the coincident
assimilation" OF this Malay pan
demonium by the United Statesl
We are to make these bar5arians
part OF the American people by
brute force # necessary-to annex
them, against their will, and
though &c, 900 miles distant, to an
American brotherhood Of equal
States and equal citizenship!-as
II we needed them, wanted them,
or had not, with our negroes and
our immigration-with Cuba at
our door and Porto Rico on our
hands-already a problem in "as-
similation" serious enough to tax
our capacity to the utteTmost.

eau was written and fastened round the
! neck of Alfred Dreyfus. Then Drumout
and other irenzied anti Semites saw
their chance, and "A bas les Juifs"
became a party CRY, Dreyfus had com
mitted high treason, and Dreyius was a
Jew! Therefore, all French Jews we're
traitors 70 their country.
For four years, however, with the
exception of one or two occasions upon
which Outrages were comm tied upon
individuals OF the Jewish race, the cry
Of high treason dwarfed the cry against
the Jews, but the case OF high treason
brought against Alfred Dreyfus has
pt~ we'd something of an Old Man OF the
Sea. They have failed to prove their
case, these mllitarist leacers, and tt is
slowly but surely recoiling against them.
What can now be done? Something to
draw public attention from the real
offence must be found. War with Eng
land? The feeling Of the French nation
is against il, and the army leaders do
not feel strong enough The same or
almost the same ieel4ag exists with
regard to war with Germany, and the
only resource left to the militarist party
is to inclte the mob against the Iews, in
the hope that in the turmoil Of pillage
and excitement of murder, their own
misdeeds NAV be forgotten.
This is the reason / have for fearing
that as the Supreme Court rolls on like
some huge agricultural machine sitting
the false from the true, and gradually
blowing the useless chaf of falsehood
and treachery to the four winds Of
Heaven, as the evidence becomes
clearer and clearer, as the public mind
begins to feel the glimmer OF a suspl.
clon that the high treason was not only
a trumped up charge against a man,
but did not exist at all, and that ths
real crime is something more sordid and
unspeakable, the militarist party in one
last furious attempt to save their chiefs
from the fury Of the outraged French
nation, may turn upon the Jew and rend
him, making the streets Of Paris a vast
arena of carnage and Of bloodshed.
This 1t is that may happen--let us pray
that it will not-and this it is that we
should work with every nerve and
sinew to prevent.
Washington sentinel., 1899-01-14

Not in any statute. Not in the
declaration OF war against Spain
by Congress. Not in any prece-
dent in American history.
Mr.. McKinley's action in the
Philippines has been un-American,
undemocratic, unprecedented and
unconstitutional. 1t is the duty Of
the Senate to declare its under
standing OF and its intention con-
cerning the treaty, over which 1t
has full jurisdiction. And it is the
business Of Congress to embody in
law the wilt OF the nation-not the
policy OF the Executive--as to the
government, control and disPosi-

Washington sentinel., 1899-01-14
UNAMERIOAN ASSIMILATION

The proclamation OF President
Mckinley to the inhabitants OF
the Philippine Islands, says the
New York WoYld, begins with
an assumption that is not a tact.
He affirms that the destruction OF
the Spanish fleet and the reduction
Of the city of Manila practically
effected the conquest Of the Philip
pine Islands"
Yet it is a tact known to Mr.
Mckinley and patent TO the whole
world that the American forces
have not a foothold on a single
one OF the 1900 islands save only
Luzon; that even there our prac-
tical Sovereignty" is confined to
the city OF Manila; that this city is
surrounded on the land side by
the intrenched army of the insur
gents; that Iloilo, the second city
of the group, is in possession OF
the native army; that the remnant
of Spanish authority IN all the
southern and southeastern islands
has recently been overthrown by
the insurgents; and finally that
the Filipinos have an organized
government, under able leaders,
which refuses to acknowledge our
authority and declares its unfalter.
ing determination to continue the
struggle for freedom and inde-
pendence begun years before our
war with Spain and maintained
more successfully than was the
revolt of the Cubans.
The primary tact is that the con-
quest of the Philippine Islands is
yet to be made. Why else are we
despatching battleship, gunboats
and more troops to Manila1
Spain, for sac, 900, 900 in cash and
release from SIS, ,ooo, 900 in claims
Of American citizens which under
the treaty our Government
assumes, ceded sovereignty which
she did not exercise, territory
which she did not control, and pos
session which she cannot convey.
Washington sentinel., 1899-01-14

THE INrKRsussIoN IN THE BATTLE or
MANILA,-It may be recalled that at a
certain stage of the battle of Manila
Admiral Dewey withdrew his fleet for
breakfast. It is stated nov that the real
cause tor drawing off was that the Olym-
pia had only fifteen projectilcs left for
her big guns, and that as soon as the
fleet got around the point, new apPor-
tionment Of ammunition was made, and
then the fight went on. Ii is also stated
that when the fight was over there were
only thirty big gun projectiles left.
Washington sentinel., 1899-01-14

But assuming the rights OF SOW
ereignty" and "the responsible OBJ.
legations Of ofgovernment," the Pres
ident conveys to the Filipinos his
intentions IN regard to them. These
intentions are expressed in his
beautiful phrase benevolent
assimilation" We thank the Pres
ident for this characteristic :oin-
age of his brain. 1t is a phrase
that will expand even the oleagi-
nous smile of Mark Hanna and DE-.
light the hearts OF all imperialIsrs
Who combine mercenarY motives
with missionary cant.
Benevolent assimilation" is the
climax of humbug and hypocrisy
as applied to that "iorcible annex
alton" which Mr.. Mckinley once
declared would be criminal ag-
gression."
Yet in performing this "high
duty" the President directs Gen.
Otis to warn the Filipinos that all
of them who object to this "benev-
olent assimilation" will be
brought within the lawful rule
we nave assumed, with frmness if
need be" and by the "strong arm
of authority" What this means
the Denighted strugglers for that
freedom and independence which
our fathers one hundred and
twenty three years ago declared to
be among the "unalienable rights
OF man." will learn in the kinder
garten Of conquest, where cannon
and bayonets are the teachers.
In short they must choose be
tween benevolent assimilation"
and bloody subjugation.
But in order that the choice Of
assimilation may be made as pal
atable as possible, the President
assures the Filipinos that "the au-
thority OF the United States is to be
exerted for the security Of the per-
sons and property of the people OF
the islands, and for.the confirmation
OF all their private rights and re-
lations." Or, as he states it again,
they are promised "that iull meas
ure Of individual rights and liber-
ties which is the heritage of free
peoples"
But what about national and
political rights1 How can any Peo-
pie be "free" who are governed
without their consent7 What as
surance Of justice have a people
who are ruled against heir will,
who are taxed without representa-
ton, and who are doomed to as
similation" under the "strong arm
of authority"
Washington sentinel., 1899-01-14

The Presidents pro clam alton for
the first time definitely defines his
policy IN the Philippines. 1t is not
to assist the Filipinos to self-gov-
ernment, as we are doing for the
Cubans. It is "the bestowal OF the
blessing OF good and stable gov
ernment upon the people OF the
Philippine Islands under the free
flag OF the United States"
In Congress and throughout the
country the question will be asked,
Where did Mr.. Mckinley get his
authority for this extraordinary
actione Not in the Constitution.
