than those appointed? What better
plan for free government could have
been suggested than the one found in
President McKinley's Instructions to
the present commission. the language
of which was largely taken from the
constitution of the United States?
The only danger in 1t is the possible
ity that the islanders are not ready for
II. In case they prove not to be. what
would anybody have us do-throw
down our burden and leave them to
their fate? That would mean anarchy
for a while, then either one rude tyran-
ny or many weak and conflicting gov
ernments, or else 1t would mean the
assumption by some other country of
the duty that we weakly abandoned.
The conclusion Is unavoidable that
we must tutor. guard and for a while
govern. And since we must do this. the
authority of title is essential.
The contention that we ought to have
held out a hope to the Filipinos like
our declaration in regard to Cuoa, or
like the Bacon resolution, relates 10 the
past and not to the present or future.
Every proclamation to them concerning
peace has offered amnesty and every
attempt to establish civil government
has given them to unders tand that we
desire them to govern themselves as
fast as they can. The promise of demo
cratic orators that we will withdraw
from the islands if Bryan is elected is
wholly delusive and the worst thing for
them or us. because il prolongs their
| resistance and can never happen with
out scowardice and dishonor.

four years ago were right. that the
election of MIR. Mckinley was the bet
ter thing for the country, and since the
republican party today champions the
same principles and asks for the cleo
ton of the same man can any man rea-
sonably or justly refuse to vote for
him? Conversely, since the principles
of the Bryan party of four years ago
were Numerically opposed to those of
the republican party. if the latter have
PROVED to be right Organism must have
been wrong and consequently since by
the unequivocal reafiirmation Of the
Chicago platform and the renomina ton
|of Mr.. Bryan, Organism of today is the
same Organism of four Years ago, and
must necessarily be wrong.
This we believe is a clear statement
of the whole proposition placed before
the nation i'll the coming presidential
election. That the majority of the vot-8
ers understand it so is clearly evidenced
by the almost certain reelection of Mr.;
Mckinley. Even the monster ovation.

SATISFIED Win OUR CONTROL.

1t is now quite generally known that
the Rebellion of Tagals in the Philip
pines is broken and that only scattering
bands of guerilla fighters sally down
occasionally from the mountains to
make trouble. The testimony Of our
soldiers. whether republicans or demo-
Gratis. Is to this effect and some of
them further state that theslittie bands
OF fighters do not represent the ma
jority of the people. who recognize that
the aim Of our nation is to give the
people of the islands a humane and
liberal governnent-4in fact, to accord
them the same freedom and privileges
that the people of the United States
enjoy, together with a voice in govern
ment. Another statement confirming
this comes from Capt. j. V. Booklniller
OF the Ninth regiment. Y. S. a., who
recently returned.to his home here and
who says: The best citizens and a
majority of the citizens among the
F,ilipinos don't want the troops with
drawn. They want a strong. protecting
government and are satisfied with the
United States. But these citizens are
intimidated by the agitators and by
the military men. Others testify that

Ger of the Ninth also declares: Tho

the election Of William Mckinley is
learned by the Fiiipinos the concerted
attacks on the American troops will
cease, for they will see that the same
firm hand which formerly directed
them is stu guiding them.
The most humane thing our govern
ment can do is to retain sovereignty
and to establish liberal government.

OUR DUTY IN The PHILIPPINES.

Elsewhere The Times-R Republican
shows that the majority Of the people
in the Philippines are satisfied with
our sovereignty and our attempts to es-
tablish stable government.
i AS to our duty in the islands. that is
admirably. stated by Albert Clarke, Sec
Eretary of the Home Market Club and a
member Of the industrial commission.
who recently said:
Our duty in the Philippines is wholly
q practical question.
, There, is no essential difference be-
tween what President Mckinley IS do
ing and what Mr. Bryan proposes.
II is idle to discuss he right or wrong
of the acquisition. The treaty makes
us resi- onsible and the treaty IS the SUI
sprene law of the land.
Both parties united in ratifyiag the
| treaty, so there is no political issue in
lit.
| The republicans say We owe it to all
the people of the Philippines to sup
press insurrection, restore tranquility
and help them to good government.
The democrats say We&must establish

assumption of authority and the ex-

this means such use of troops as cir

CAPT. HousToN,s MOTHER.

At Hamilton, o. oct is, while GOV
aerlfor Roosevelt was addressing 4 hiSI
audience 'word was brought TO him that
the mother of Capt Houston was in the
crowd and wished an Introduction.
Roosevelt stopped talking and asked
that Mrs. Houston, come upon the
stand.
apt Houston died in the Philip
pines lighting With Lawton. He was
one of the eight captains whom Roose-
Welt took with him to Cuba on the en-
petition which made the rough rider
regiment famous. Four of these cap
tains have died since Fl Caney and two
of them yet bear The wounds of Mauser
bullets. Houston was one of Col.
.Teddy's" favorite officers, and 50 he
asked TO see his mother.
She came thru the crowd wearing the
weeds of mourning for her boy. Will
ing hands helped her up the stairway
and Roosevelt took her arm and
graspeG her hands with God bless
you. Mrs. Houston: Your son was an
honor to you ard to his country.
Her voice was choked With sobs as
she put aside her veil and looked tear
fully al the man who led her hero 10
victory in Cuba. She said:
He thought the world Of yon. Col
Roosevelt, That's why wanted to
meet you hope You will win, SIR. My

except alleged confessions
made by certain informers who claim
to have been parties to the deed. The
jury that convicted Powers was com
posed Of eleven GoebeliteT and one re-
publican; the jury that convicted How
ard was composed OF ten Goebelttes
one Reconsideration democrat and one
populist, while that which convicted
foutsey was composed OF Goebentes
exclusively. Powers proved an abb.
but the testimony was ruled out by the
Judge. The most learned law
yers in Kentucky tell me that the pro.
ceedings in all three cases are without
parallel for partisanship by the court
and the jury in the history Of American
Jurisprudence.
The voters OF Chicago will have con-
siderable latitude in making choice Of
