Another rainy season rolls around
to interrupt the campaign in the
Philippines and benevolent assimi.
lation must rest while the natives,
still defiant, recuperate and strength
en- the opposition. Scattered bands
are harassing the American forces
all over Luzon. Scarcely does Gen.
Otis announce joy, peace and SUBJ
mission in one direction when there
comes the report of an outbreak in
another section, and so the story
goes from one weeks end to another
to the music of our imperial apollo
gists at home. The latter have
shifted the responsibility for the
Philippine muddle to the shoulders
of the opposition and now watch
the continuance Of guerilla warfare
merely as indignant onlookcrs.
They are out of it. But, ignoring
our selt.satistied jingoes, when is
this war of subjugation going to
end? Will it ever end? And will
it pay? The outlay tor the war
since 1898 is already hundreds of
millions; in the hospitals at Manila
are 1887 of our men and scores Of
sick and insane have been sent home.
In deaths by bullets and disease and
in money the outlay has been pretty
heavy in this great commercial en-.

ment-this expansion of trade by

BY EDWARD c. dana.

There is little reference to Gen.
Gilmore in the Sunday Republicans
political correspondence from vari-
GUS Vermont centcrs of thought and
action-no opposition to Stickney
for governor is found anywhere.
The Office seems to be gilt to the
Ludlow man-,n no other state in
the Union, perhaps, could this mat
ter have been better arranged.
Judge Powers flop and backdown
in the Porto Rican business ought to
leave holes in his fences ut home
and it cannot but weaken his canvas
among all but the thick. and.thin
partisans of any Republican policy.
There are other candidates. Gov.
Pege is one and it might be suggest
ed that man with "sand" and abil-
ity to stand by his convictions would
be a fine thing for the First district.
The possibility that Senator iona
than Ross would become candi-
date for the late Senator Morrill's
seat was hardly considered at the
time OF his appointment by the gov
ernor, but things have changed and
there seems to be an active literary
bureau with headquarters at WASH
ington at work for him. Senator
Ross believes that this government
is under no obligations to extend to
our new possessions any OF the
blessings and privileges enjoyed by
the happy and fortunate citizens of
= the United States. He has made
one or two speeches on the subject
and in fact seems to be inclined to
talk as often us opportunity offers.
He is receiving great deal of APP
plause as an expounder of the con-
stitution, though his ideas are not
entirely in accord with justice, and
the fiattering notices from the ma
tional capital are assiduously circu.
lated by the morning, afternoon and
weekly papers up this way. The
literary bureau Is a tangible thing if
the senator's candidacy is not.
"That was magnificent act of
generosity. as we'll as shrewd
political move, whereby the Presi'
dent recommended and the House
passed legislation returning to Porto
Rico all the tariff duties collected
and to he collected at both ends of
the line" says the North Troy Pal.
ladium. This is beautiful. But
this "nagnificent act of generosity"
is more like the final wobble of a
weakened executive in a political
exigency-a sop to helpless people
to whom are denied the privileges
solemnly pledged to them when,
freed from Spanish rule, they gladly
came under the protection of this
government. This 'shrewd politi.
cal move" exposes the humbug of
the whole business, which is simply
a vicious scheme of extortion from
the starving islanders for the benefit
of American political and CONNER
cial combinations. 1t may succeed,
but this gift to the Porto Ricans.-
this proposal to return the revenues
derived from tariff on their COM
merce in the name of charity-is a
very poor attempt to disguise the
hypocrisy of the thing and the dis
honesty Of the political leaders who
are trying to push it through.
