SOME HAZY NOTIONS.

A fine example Of the hazness, sloppiness
and general contradictoriness and incoherence
of "anti-expansionist" notions about the Phil
ippines is presented in the interview with eX
Governor Stone Of Missouri, published yester-
day. Mr. Stone is a man of authority in Bryan
ite councils. He is convinced, and would like
to convince the country, that "anti-imperialism'
is the paramount issue of this campaign. He
is convinced too, that the Democratic plat
form is exactly sound and right on the Philip
pine question, although, as he is not himself
the candidate for the Presidency he mOdestly
refrains from saying just how he would exc
cute the demands of that platform if he were
President. However, he does tell us in posi-
tive terms some Of the things the United States
ought to do.
It ought for example, to establish protecto-
rate over the Philippines, to protect them from
such land grabbing marauders as England
and Russia" 1t ought, also, TO retain as many
ports and fortified naval bases in the islands
as IT needs or wants It would be fully en-
titled to them, and the Filipinos would have
no right to object to it's taking them, for I'VE
came into the sovereignty of the islands legiti-
'mately." But beyond the acquisition of such
stations and the establishment and mainten-
ance of such a protectorate this country
ought not to go. That is Mr.. Stones interpre-
win favor on both sides.
But let us see. The United States ought to
establish protectorate What? Without the
consent of the protected? Then the great prin-
ciple of the consent of the governed goes TO
everlasting smash. For il YOU cannot govern
folks without their consent you cannot logically
protect them without their consent, for protec-
ton is only one form of government. And then
the United States is to take, and is entitled
to, all the naval stations in the islands 1t
to take the rest OF the Islands? Can 1t be law
full to take the choicest plums, but theft to take
the culls? Truly that Is a strange interpre-
tation Of the moral law! And yet again we
are told that the United States came into the
sovereignty of the islands legltimately and
yet must not retain possession of them. Is it
not lawful for the country to retain that which
it has legitimately acquired? And on what
constitutional principle is it to renounce SOW
ereignty once gained?
OF truth, It might have been better for the
Ex-Governor to have disposed of the Philip
pine question as he did Of the question of Mr.
Bryan's insistence upon having free silver put
into the platform-"You'll have to ask Mr.
Bryan himself about It." But then not even
Mr.. Bryan himself could set forth the utter
haziness Of notion and impracticability Of pur-
pose Of the "anti-expansionists' a bit better
than has been done by the accomplished ex-
Governor of Missouri

CHINA'S NEXT MOVE.

There are rumors that Chinese officials In
Guiding no less a parsonage than Ii Hung
Chang himself take the ground that the Powers
ought to refrain from sending an expedition to
Pelling because the Ministers are safe and are
about to be escorted TO the coast by Chinese
troops If the expedition is abandoned and Chi
nese soil evacuated by the invaders. they say,
the Ministers will be brought out safely and all
will be we'll But If the Powers insist upon
sending an army to Peking its advance may so
nfuriate the mob and so affect or disaffect the
soldiers that the Ministers will be destroyed.
On the face of 1t. that is in a measure plau-
sible. We are not unmindfu of the bad effect
produced by the injudicious attack upon the
Taku forts, and we can conceive nothing more
deplorable than that a foreign army should be
hastily rushed in to make indiscriminate war
upon the Chinese people. Such an advance of
the Powers might well be, as Ii Hung Chang
is reported to have predicted 1t would be, the
signal for the destruction of every foreigner at
Peking Nevertheless, there is radical and
hopeless flaw in the Chinese representations
quoted and il is this that the Chinese Govern
ment thus far utterly fails to give the world
anv ADEQUATE assurances that the Ministers are
indeed safe and will be safely escorted to the
coast
Let the veil Of secrecy that covers Peking be
removed. Let the Chinese Government Whlcn
can send out at will long Imperial messages,
send out definite and detailed statements con-
cerning the welfare OF the Ministers, and en-
able them to communicate freely with their
governments. Then there will be ground for
discussing the abandonment of the relief expe
dtion Indsputable messages from the Minis
ters. announcing that they were being safely
escorted to the coast by Chinese troops, might
we'll have the effect of stopping the advance
upon Peking, or at any rate of transforming it
into a mere military promenade for the sake of
joining the escort But failing such assurance
and such tidngs, there seems to be no course
open to the Powers but to move upon Pcking
with force and arms. If the Chinese Govern
ment will not send out information Of what is
happening at Peking and will not let informa-
ton be sent out, then the Powers entitled to
that information must go in and get it for them
selves. There is nothing else TO do. To obviate
that necessity. the next move is for China to
make. It is for her 10 give light and to send
out the Ministers before she asks us to cease
from seeking light and from our efforts to save
the Ministers.

The 'Vossische Zeitung" foresees that there
may be differences between the Powers in China
and that in such case each may withdraw to Its
own sphere OF influence. 1t thinks also that the
United States may desire a sphere Of influence
Of its own when It has military force there
and that the rebuke Of anti-imperialism at the
polls by the election of Mckinley will pave the
way toward it. In this it is quite wrong. We
have in the Philippines all the Oriental real
estate we want In China our interests are lin
tied to the restoration Of order. punishment and
indemnity for injuries, and perpetual equality OF
trade privileges with all parts of the Empire
These conditions we shall strive to secure with
no grasp at territory or exclusive rights.
