Possibly however he wac mistaken as

GRANT OBJ MCKINLEY,

We have before printed the follow
lug extract from President Grants
message to Congress on the 9Th Of Dec
ember 1869, but we believe that II has
such u vital and pointed bearing on
the issues that President Mckinley
has forced upon the people, as to be
worthy of another reproduction. 1t
reads:
Tbs United States have no disposi.
liOn to interfere with the existing re-
lations OF Spain to her colonial posses
sOus on this continent. They be-
ieye that IN due time Spain with
other European powers will find their
interest in terminating those relations
and establishing their present depen-
denCes as independent powers-mem-
bpres Of the family Of nations, These
dependencies are no longer regarded as
subject to transfer from one European
rOwer to another. When the present
relation of colonies cease they are TO
become independent powers, eXercis-
ing the right Of choice and Of self con-
troll in the determination Of their fu-
tme condition and relations with
other powers"
In this extract there are three par
amount considerations In President
Grants mind, all Of which have a vi.
tai bearing on the imperial policy en-
tered upon byour present admtnlstr IL
tion First In speaking Of tbe'interest of
European powers in the direction Of
seven their colonial relations he
seems 10 assert that gs matter of
selfishness and profit, colonies do not
pay. Second, that the right Of self
government Is inherent and that the
relation of sovereign and dependant Is
unnatural and unjust. Third, when
he says that these dependencies are no
longer regarded as subject to transfer
from one European power to another
he recognizes a principle Of interna-
tional law, which has grown up with
the higher development Of civilization,
even In Europe, and which acknowl-
edges that the people of any depend
ancy have rights that are not subject
to barter by some supposed superior
power, II this be true what right
had the United States to purchase the
Flippinos from Spainp And If Spain
had no right to make a transfer, what |
rights could the United States gain
from her IN the premises And IL we
gained no rights from Spain, what
position can our armies occupy but as
armed and conquering invadersY
Now our dear republican brother let
us ask you in candor and fairness,
when was your party wrong, under
Grant or Mckinley?

WEEN Thomas Jefferson wrote the
declaration Of independence he set out
as one of the causes which impelled the

JUST after some of the hardest fight
lngi China the press dispatch told
some tales Of the cruelty, and sayagery
of the soldiers Of the allied troops which
could not possibly have been surpassed
in degree Of deyilishess by any heathen
Of China. In fact it was said that the
American and Japanese troops were
the only ones that did refrain from
pillage and wholesale butchery. Scenes
of drunken soldiers shooting old and
helpless men and women in cold blood
and running about with young child
ren upon their bayOnets tossing their
bodies about from one to the other in
sport, were told Of the allied soldier
in various cities. And thousands of
good Christian people in Europe and
America, have been praislng their arm
les, and giving their thanks to the
giver of all good for thus carrying the
gospel to every creature and spreading
civilization or the gospel by force OF
arms. This is what war and mllitar-
ism must always mean, especially
against savage or semicivilized foe.
We think that we are civilized and
kind. A man in his normal mind
shudders at the recital Of such deeds.
But initiate him with the war spirit,
let him get into the carnage, let him
get his blood up, and the old savsgery
Of the primitive man is ignited, till he
is transformed into veritable demon
living in fire and blood. The greatest

a FRIEND has called our attention to
the fact that the administration s
method of dealing with the Philippin es
is as much in violation of the pledge
that Congress made TO the Cubans Of
independence as If we had been deal
ing with Cubans themselves. The re-
solution of Congress was that "the
Cubans are and of right ought to be
free and independent. There was
never u reason that could be applied TO
the Cubans for their freedom that was
not equally applicable to the FIJI ppinos.
There was never an attrocity committed
by SPAN against Cuba that had not its
parallel in the Philippines. Both had
been in rebellion almost continuously
under Spain's entire control Both
were in rebellion at the time appar-
emily with equal show Of success. If
the Cubans "of rights" were free then
the FilippinOs were also, and we are
attempting to overthrow their right.

WE feel amply justified this week In
issuing II note Of protest against the
treatment which the News accorded
to Hon Claude Dugal from the very
start Of his congressional candidacy
OF course it is always to be expected
that in partisan politics a partisan
paper is not to speak in the most
laudatory terms Of an opposition cam
didate eveL from his own town. But
Mr., Duval Is a man of very much more
than ordinary standing in his COM
munity. His reputation as private
citizen, as q business man, and In pub
lie capacity, is without spot or faint,
His reputation for good sense and judg-
ment, and wait of character is equally
good. lie is q citizen Of whom Hutch
inson feels proud. He hashun 1reds
of close personal friends among the
very readers of the News. And yet
that journal has let slip no opportun-
ity to speak slightinRly of him and rid
icule his every public action, when
there was no necessity. How differ
ent has been the treatment of Mr.,
by the opposition daily of
home. Indeed the News has given
has given him very much better treat
ment than iJ has the candidate of its
home town, The News claims a great
local pride and patriotism, but it cer-
'ainly has not shown any of 1t in this
case.
