Democratic Policy Relative to New
Territory.

Territory.
= The democratic party would not
have this country shrink from any
duty imposed upon it by the fortunes
ssDf war, or by any other relation;
sneither would it sanction neglect to
sbuttress our. national and commercial
interests in every honorable way not
prejudicial to, nor inconsistent with, our
system of government.
Concede, for the purposes of argument,
that, as things are now ordered, the in.
-fluence of the United States should
dominate in certain islands of the sea
and certain portions of the Orient,
what relations should exist between
this country and the territory thus &C.
quired?
If We extend our dominion or In
tluence over country so densely popu-
lated that but little change of inhabi-
tants can be expected, the first question
to be determined is whether the peo-
pie of such country are desirable as
citizens of the United States, and cap
ableiof sharing in the government of
the country If such people are not
capable Of being citizens, we do not
want them to be citizens, neither do we
want them as subjects, for that would
be repugnant to our form Of govern.
ment.
While the little brown men of the
Philippines are not capable of becom-
Ing citizens of the United States,
they may, with . little assistance
and protection from outside enemies,
be able to wisely govern themselves.
When, Gen. Otis refused to grant
Aguinaldo's request for suspension of
hostilities, to permit of an attempt to
amicably adjust differences, he did q
brutal act for which this nation will
sooner OF later be called upon to atone.
Since then our soldiers have been going
up and down the island of Luzon shoot
ing brown men, and sowing seeds Of en-
nifty and hatred which will take gener-
+" ations to >blotout.
A new administrations that would stop
this terrible sacrifice of human lives,
might be able to negotiate settlement
Of differences mutually beneficial to us
and to the Filipinos. But the Nc
Kinley- Otis program, which offers
the natives of the Philippine islands,
who have been struggling for freedom
for hundreds of years, nothing except
unconditional surrender, can never sue
coed. The hands of these men are al
ready too red with Filipino blood.

Apart from the definite news that
General Butler has commenced Sec
ond attempt to cross the Tugela river,
the only official news is the list of cas-
ualties among the British officers in
the fight at Ladysmith Saturday, Jan.
g. showing 10 killed and % wounded
and over 800 non-commisioned officers
and men. Among the former was
Lieutenant Colonel William Henry
Dick Cunningham, v. c., commander of
the Second battalion of the Gordon
Highlanders since 1897. who has since
succumbed to his wounds. He was
immensely popular everywhere and his
death will cause widespread sorrow.
General Buffers movement obviously,
is Of a tlanking character, but wheth-
er it is intended to push the advance
home or whether his operations are
only feint to cover an attack in force
on the Boer position Mt Hlangwana
mountain, remains to be seen.
OF Great Importance. t
Springfield, from whence General
Buffers dispatch was sent, is sixteen
miles west of Frere. The last news
from Springfield was that 1t was held
by the Johannesburg corps under Cen
eral Ben. Viljen, and that the Beers
had big guns In position at Potgiet-
er's Drift, apparently six or eighi
miles north of Springfield and across
the big Tugela. The possession Of the
drift and the pont is regarded of great
Importance. 1t is reported here that
General Butler submitted his plan of
campaign to Lord Roberts Immediately
after the latter landed and that Gen
eral Roberts sanctioned it. There is
belief in some quarters that General
Hector Macdonald will succeed Lord
Methuen in command of the British
force Mt Modder river
