The Collier 4 Cleveland warrants
were declared Illegal by the Supreme
court and are not included in the above
list: but it is not true that the Supreme
court has ever declared any of the
above warrants illegal. But, on the
contrary, in communications published
in the Denver press during the month
of October, 1896 the then judges of
the Supreme court unanimously agreed
that ninety per cent. of the foregoing
warrants We're legal and valid, and
that, for the other len per cent the
state had received value and was
morally bound to pay the same.
Supreme Courts Opinion.
1t is true that, in an opinion deliv-
cred in answer to 4 question pro-
pounded by Governor Cooper, the Su-
preme court said in 1889 that the ap-
preparations must be kept within the
revenues of the state and that war
rants issued in excess of the revenue
We're void. but. in the same opinion.
the Supreme court also said that ap-
preparations for tile salaries of legis-
lative, executive and judicial officers
We're entitled to a preference and
should be first paid. The principal
of the unpaid salary warrants amounts
to 500. .67S.43. and among the number
are to be found warrants payable for
the salaries of governors. judges of the
Supreme and District courts and other
state officers OF the remainder there
were issued for the maintenance of
the state pcnitcntiary and State indus

in it we would, perhaps. have permitted
the changes in the East to pass Us
something beyond the scope of our eff

seized control of the Pacific route
which must for all time give us a para
mount position in those waters.

its crafty advisers have no intention
Of insisting upon the Philippines being
ceded to the United States, and have
adopted the commission expedient as
way out of the difficulty. Unless pub
lie sentiment is expressed very forci-
bly, the United States will lose one of
the most splendid opportunities ever
placed by fate in the way of nation.
ut Is now out of the question for
Spain to reaSSert her sovereignty over
the islands. Weakened by the war,
while the natives have been strength
ened, its power to overcome the inSur-
rection is gone, if, indeed. it ever had
the power The alternative to reten
ton of the islands by the United
States, therefore. is not the re-estab-
lishment of Spanish rule, but the divi-
sion of the islands among European
nations or the creation of some kind
of n joint protectorate in which we
may or may not have part. 1t may
be considered as certainty that nei-
ther Spain nor the powers will con-
sent to ALLOW the natives to have an
Independent republic. Fortune has
placed the Philippines in the hands of
the United States. but the policy
which the administration has adopted
will abandon the islands to other ma
tions blessed with more courageous
rulers The fleets of Europe have gath
cred at Manila because the chancel-
lors have concluded that the Presl-
dent Of the United States will not have
the strength of character TO retain the
islands. If it We're thoroughly under

keep them no foreign ship would float

the national power. This is the first
lesson that the Filipincs must learn.
Indeed. it is the first step that will ell
