A Money-Making Scheme.

CONGRESSMAN Charles II. Grosvenor, Of
Ohio, leading Republican and the spokes
man of President Mckinley in the House
recently made this declaration amid applause
from the Republican side Of the House
awe have got the Philippines, and win tell you
what we snail tell the people OF this country-Me
going to make all the money Set n 20 orenta
Countries And we are going TO embalm the DOC
trines Of the Declaration Of Independence upon tne
se thnk the time has come toido it, and we are moi
going TO do it one minute before
The holding of the Philippine Islands,
then, is to make money-not for benevolent
assimilation not for the elevation OF the
Filippinos; not for justice, right and we'll
doing-only to make money out OF them.
Was ever more sordid, disgraceful scheme
ever avowed in this land of equal rights and
equal laws, of liberty and justice
And how is the Mckinley Administration
forwarding its money making scheme? By
sending 10 slaughter the youth of this country
in the scheme to subdue the Filippinos, who
object 10 our rule and are struggling for self
government and independence. Yes, to ex-
terminate them, unless they submit to NC
Kinley rule, in order that the trusts and cor
porations can control the railroad, water, gas,
electric light and street railway franchises,
take over the land and have absolute control
of all trade and commerce.
The appropriation for the maintenance OF
the army, prior to McKinley's march around
the world to make money, was twenty millions
of dollars year. Nowit is one hundred and
twenty millions The war upon the FilipPi-
nos has been waging for fourteen months, and
it is safe to say that bullets and disease and
suicide have carried off fully $4,000 men.
Still, the expenditure of money is OF little
consequence to the Mckinley Administration.
Neither is the expenditure of blood, so money
can be made.
Mckinley may have no concern for these
matters, but the wives, mothers, sisters, broth
ers and orphans do, and Mr.. Mckinley will
have difficult task in convincing the people
that the money to be made is worth the sacri-
fee of life which he is responsible for.

the young.

Prof. Guy Albaugh. of New Windsor, who
played all of the latest popular songs and cake
walks, and a super-abundance of other music
The dance continued until about twelve
o'clock, which was the time set for refresh
ments, and everybody was invited into the
spacious diningroom, where there was spread
before them everything imaginable in the line
of dainties. The repast being over, dancing
was resumed. and continued until about two
o'clock, when the guests, after thanking their
host and hostess for the unspairing pleasures
placed in their reach, made their way home
