Congress

should stop the Administration
from making war without its con-
sent and without any right upon
the Philippine Republic. 1t should
exert its power and prevent the
revolution by the Administration
against the Republic.
The President has no right and
should not be allowed to make
war and use the power Of the
United States in violation of the
Constitution.
He can just as we'll send up his
soldiers to the Capitol and arrest
the Senators and Representatives
opposed to his Infamous policy as
he can send them to Manila o
conquer and tyrannize over the
people OF the Philippines.
We are in the midst OF a revolu-
ton. Will Congress act7 If not,
the Republic is only sham and
we are living under a despotism.

The imperial Army BIZ.

The debate on the Hull army
bill in the House has already pro-
ceeded far enough to indicate that
the Administration will not be able
to liam through" this unnecessary
and obnoxious measure.
The objections to an increase OF
the regular army to Ioo,oo men
were very succinctIY stated in the
minority report Of the House COM
mittee. They were that:
I. Such an army is not neces-
sary "either because Of our rela-
tions to the islands OF the sea or
because OF any exigency which has
arisen in the country itself"
2. Such a standing army as the
one proposed "would in time OF
peace be a menace to the liberty
OF citizens, and in time OF war
would not be sufficient to meet
successfully the armies Of the first
class powers oil the world"
5. 1t would cost SI5o, 900, 900
annually, as permanent charge
upon the taxpayers, which with
the SI45, 900, 900 paid in pensions
(soon to be increased) would make
our military establishment cost
S5oo, ,ooo, 900 a year.
4. Il would mean the practical
destruction Of the National Guard
and the volunteer troops Of the
States.
S. With so large a standing army
a President dominated by improper
influences would have "the means
at his hand to invade the liberties
Of the people, to suppress freedom
Of speech and to desecrate the bal
lot-box itself"
The substitute proposed by the
minority provides for a permanent
standing army Of 10000 enlisted
men, and for $4,000 volunteers
with an organization the same as
the regular army, to be taken from
the States in proportion to popula-
ton and mustered in for a term o.
two years, unless sooner termin-
ated. Volunteer organizations
now in the service are to have
| preference in re-enlistment. This
volunteer force is to be recruited
for use in Cuba, Porto Rico, &c
This is a sane and sensible
American measure. 1t SHOULD
certainly prevail over the imperial
regular army bill.

"a Rebel"

aldo, a rebel against whom?
Certainly not against the United
States! For he never was a sub
ject or citizen OF the latter. He
was a rebel against Spain, as long
as the latter claimed sovereignty
over the Philippines. That SOW.
ereigntY the Filipinos have des-
troyed, They have driven the
Spaniards from the Islands and

prisoners. The United States
helped them to capture Manila, and

1.-THE Mckinley Administration
does wrong against a foreign ma
tion, it does not follow that every
honorable and fair minded citizen
must side with it. Right and JUS

The Filipinos have a natural
right to contend for their indepen-
dence against any foreign nation,
whether Spaniards or Americans.

War Everywhere in our Colonies.

War Everywhere in Our Colonies.
There is war on Cuba. The
negro regiment, known as the
Indian Fighters" has been sent
to "pacify" the Cubans. A dele
CATION is here from Porto Rico
demanding from the President
seli-governmentand independence.
In the Government military bill
Mckinley demands S 900 soldiers
Tor permanent occupation of Porto
Rico. In Hawaii they need from
5000 to 10, 900 to keep the minor
ity government on top and "Old
Glory" flying. In the Philippines
hardly Co. 900 will suffice, for there
we will have big war.
If we would leave to the people
of Cuba and Porto Rico the full
enjoyment of self government, IN
stead of ruling them by sort OF
military despotism, and if we would
recognize the Philippine Republic
and make some commercial
treaties with it, letting its people
have independence, which, with
exception OF Manila, they enjoy
now, there would be no necessity
OF making war against a country
that never has done us any harm,
merely for the purpose OF conquer
ing It and thereby obtaining an
excuse Tor keeping a large stand
ing army for the protection OF our
grasping syndicates, trusts, and the
money power in general.
Secretary Hay ignores Agon-
clio. He does not answer his let
ters, because he cannot answer
them under the old standard Of
liberty. He cannot convince the
Filipinos that the Americans are in
the right, when they want to annex
a free, peaceful Republic by virtue
Of bargain made with Spain, for
Spain had nothing to give or sell.
The Filipinos were free Of Spanish
control, when the Paris treaty was
made and the Philippine Republic
already established. All the right
we have is the right TO rule by
torce, and conquer by the ultima
yalio yegHM, the cannon.
Congress ought to stop McKin-
ley from making war upon a free,
independent Republic. We should
recognize the Philippine Republic
and receive their diplomatic rep
resentatives. The FilipinoS, after
fighting for centuries for their in
dependence, are entitled to it as
much as our people were in 1888
to theirs.
But England wants the Philip
pines and what England wants the
American Republic has to grant.

Congressman Hay,

oil Virginia, made a very fine speech
in the House this week against the
increase OF the regular army. He
had evidently reaG cur last issue,
as will be seen from an extract
from his speech: "Such legisla-
tion as this" he said. will come
as a shock to large portion ofour
population, particularly the foreign
born portion OF it, because those
people have sought asylums here
to avoid this very species Of mill
tary system. These immigrants,
and some OF them are OF our best
type OF citizenship, came here to
rid themselves oijust such military
establishments. In their own coun-
try they and their fathers had seen
such systems gradually growing.
until to-day they oversha dow, like
huge birds OF prey, whole coun-
tries. The enforced military ser
vice Of the nations Of Europe has
depleted their populations and di-
minished their taxable values.
Men have fed to this land as to a
refuge from enforced military ser
vice and ever increasing taxation.
The foreign born element in this
country, as we'll as their descen-
dants, look with alarm upon a
proposition which means increase
Of taxation and opens the way for
conscription."

The venture at the Grand Opera
House demonstrates that high class
vaudeville will be one Of the amusement
features la Washington. The bill this
week, headed by Miss Lillian Burkhart,
and including Mrs. Alice J. Shaw and
her pretty twin daughters, Gus Williams
and five other we'll known acto.s s has
demonstrated the value Of the style of
entertainment here by the large audi
ences in attendance at each PERFORM
ance. For The coming week the pro-
gramme will be completely changed.
Among those who will appear are Mason
Mitchell, one OF the few members Of the
profession who enlisted during the late
war He will be seen in a graphic
description illustrated by a series Of
views made on the spot, Of the battle of
San Juan. Patrice, the charming COM

Arrest AgonciIIol

p Unable to answer his protests
the Administration intends to ar
rest Agoncillo, or Danish him from
the country.
His crime is that he labors for
his country and begs the Ameri-
cans not to make war upon his peo-
pie and to recognize their inde-
pendence.
To arrest or Danish him is equal
to a declaration Of war, for he is an
authorized official diplomatic rep
resentative here at Washington.

The entertainment at the Academy
of Music next week will be provided
principally bv Joe OFT, "the only who
this season has the felicity to present
brand new farce comedy entitled "Look-
ing for Trouble" Joe OFT is a comedian
of remarkably quaint and decidedly
unique type. and while he may haye
many imitators, it is only reasonable to
suppose that his methods cannot be
followed in way that would justify an
audience in responding.
Looking for Trouble" is described as
containing all the essential elements of
fun provoking nature and to offer all
sorts Of opportunities to Mr.. OFT and the
clever talent he has surrounded himself
with. There is said to be an entire
absence Of viigarlsm or anything cal
culated to offend, but, on the other hand,
everything has been considered from a
special point of polite refinement.
