"A Dangerous Measure.

The bill introduced by Senator Hans
brough to permit the sale and use of
timber on public lands should have most
careful scrutiny before 1t receives the
support of any representative OF the
people. More particularly should those
who represent the section where alone
large timber supplies are TO be found

might throw open to private invasion
the that belong to the whole
people.
1t is a safe general rule hat any legis-
lation which proposes to permit the en-
trance of private rights to public prop
erty should have TO carry the burden Of
proof. Its advantages and the necessity
for 1t must be established clearly before
II has any title TO support. This rule
was followed In the case of the grazing
bin, and no more is likely to be heard
OF II. on It's face the Hansbrough bill
appears to be a thousand times more
dangerous.
IL provides. In general, that the tim

be a heavy migration thither from Eu-
p Russia. The government mas
always taken particular care to further
colonization, and the Russian agricui-
turists win probably avail themselves
of the offered facilities to move east TO
the vacant lands of Siberia. They are
of a migratory nature. and since the
emancipation Of the serfs the number
of peasants seeking opportunities to set
UP farming establishments for them
selves has been steadily on the increase.
The drift of population inevitably will be
eastward. and the districts settled up
ought to be those tapped by the new ST.
berian railway. This is the country
into which American trade can most
easily enter, and with the good oegin-
ming already made there is every reason
to believe this trade a be increased
enormously. And n gratifying feat
ure of its growth will be that it is to be
controlled largely from the Pacific o
of the United States.

found han that presented by the state
ment of the Filipino leader. Flores. now
in Manila, when he admits that the in
surgents no longer have any expecta-
ton of defeating the American forces
in battle. but are maintaining their re-
sistance with the idea of forcing con-
gress to accord them the best possible
terms. This confirms, from a Filipino
| source, the statements made by every
disinterested observer who has ex-
amined the situation on the ground and
returned to this country. 1t is precisely
what the lamented Lawton said in pri-
vate letters written shortly before his
death. 1t is what Admiral Dewey has
said repeatedly. in public IND in private.
1t IS what the Philippine commission put
strongly in the official report made to
the president.
In substance this is that the present
lnsurrection in the Philippine islands
finds it's main support and excuse in
the attitude of one of the great political
parties in the United States. and is con
tinued long after all hope Of success by
arms Is lost solely in the hope that the
Democratic party may possibly win In
the coming election; hat the policy OF
the government may consequently BIZ
changed. and that the destinies of the
Philippine islands may, as a result Of an
American election. be turned over to
the Tagalos who are now IN arms
against the country.
No one knows better than the Demo-
cratic leaders In congress that the
status of the Philippine Islands Is set
tied. and that the question of their re-
tention has ceased to be open to more
than academic discussion. The islands
are the property of the United States.
n the prospect that the American flag
will ever come down Is too remote to be
thought of seriously. The Democratic
attitude is a pretense and a sham. If
successful In the national election. 1t is
doubtful whether Bryan or any of his
followers would dare to attempt to
carry out the programme Of withdraw
Ing from the Islands and leaving them

Of the Democratic party is simply as

makes It the more shameful and I'M

The F1lipinos themselves are the
principal victims Of his unpatriotlc
