hence the persistent efforts OF that country
for many years to get rid Of her expensive

There is no reason for the acquisition of

in policy of absolute sovereignty over all

is obviously impossible of accomplishment,

The views of Mr.. Wolcott on the Philip
pine question. emineutiy sane in their gem
eraI nature, and eloqueutly stated in the
Senate yesterday. might. with some justice.
be revised so far as the attitude of Mr..
Beveridge is concerned. The senator from
Colorado thinks that the junior senator
from In5liana puts the case TOO sordidy:
that he dweus too much upon the material
wealth developed and undeveloped. of the
archipelago. But docs h.?
No man will say that il was cupidity
which took the United States to the Phil
lppines. Not ten representative men in this
country had ever given Il thought to the
islands before the war with Spain was de-
clareI. Dewey was ordered to Manila to
destroy the Spanish fleet. The moment that
order was executed this government found
itself charged with responsibility for the
islands and as time passed that response
bility increased and new questions arose.
Should the United States leave or stay? If
it should leave how was an honorable re-
treat to be executed? If il should stay,
under what circumstances and for how
long, The United States, by formal treaty.
took over the archipelago, and permanent
American occupancy finds favor now with
a very large majority of the American peO-
pie. Cupidity, therefore. did not inspire our
going to the Islands nor did it decide the
question of our assumption Of sovereignty.
But now that We are there and our re-
sponsibility is fixed. We need not fail 10
examine the nature of our new posses
sions. nor fail to feiiciJate ourselves that
they are exceedingly rich and promising.
Mr.. Beverage does not dwell TOO much on
that point. He was right in taking it into
account during his visit 10 the Philippines
and he Is right now in giving 1t great
prominence. II is 4 good thing 20 feel Jha,
in striking for humanity We have also
struck it rich in the way of worldly
goods in the Philippines. Mr. Beveridge is
lot to be classed with those men who would
put the country In the attitude of confess
ing that it is only the wealth of the Phil
ippines that allure- Us, and who then class
all who differ with them as hypocrites
Nor does the Colorado senator so intend.
Come. come. Mr.. WoIcott. There is room
enough in the Senate for bo,h OF You. In
fact. since Mr. BeVeridgc has spoken. The
country will desire more than ever that
your days may be prolonged there. We can
not have too many oratorical stars of the
first magnitude in the congressional frma-
ment.

for their own good? Certain dispatches re-

distinct understanding that in these files, if
they have not been destroyed, will be
found letters from more or less prominent
Americans urging the Filipino rebels to
continue their fight and holding out the
hope that the administration would be re-
versed at the rolls or in Congress.
There is nothing in the records as far as
now made up damaging to this government
The case of the United States is clear
enough to satisfy all but the most jaun-

from certain quarters a clamor for the

the south knew him. He knew the force
OF the silver sentiment in that section, an,
that If the test ever came he could not meet
II. But he was anxious to be President
again. and he took the bait. The money
question was gingerly treated, the platform
declared ringingly for free trade, and a
sound money man was put into the White
House by a vote to which free silver con-
stituents contributed quite two-thirds The
rest is history, and about the most disas-
trous chapter of history to the democra tic
party and to the country that stands re-
corded.
This time it is sound money democrats
appealing to a silver leader. These eastern
men of the Danforth-Murphy stripe are not
particularly foDd of Mr.. Bryan. On the
contrary, they sincerely regret his strength.
They know his convictions on the money
question, and that they have not changed
a whit since 1876. But they are anxious TO
win at the polls. and their idea is that if
the money question can be skillfuly treated
in the platform and during the campaign
this year, the democracy, with Mr.. Bryan
as its candidate, can carry the day.
MIR. Bryan knows these eastern democrats
as well they know him. He knows that
success with them will mean stubborn OPP
position to his whole financial program.
md knowing this, and with Mr. Cleveland 5
fate before him, will he take the bait? Does
he think it possible even for him to put the
country on silver basis with sound money
democrats as part of the forces upon whose
help he must depend? He may repeat Mr..
Clevelands blunder but the country is not
likely to repeat its blunder growing out of
