STATEHOOD NOT MANDATORY

The much-vexed question as TO the
constitutional status of the Philin-
pines, with relation to statehood. is
very clearly stated and argued by Mr..
Albert ]. Chapman, in the following
communication to the Detroit ,Jour.
nal:
The Constitution of the United
States provides in Section 8 of Article
4, that New States may be admitted
by the Congress into this Union. but
no new State shall be formed or erect
ed within the jurisdiction of any
other State, nor any State be formed
by the junction of two or more States.
or parts of States. without the con.
sent of the Legislatures of the States
concerned as well as of the Con.
gress."
New States may be admitted by
The sun., 1900-08-20

the Congress into this Union" 1t is
not "new States must and shall be
admitted by the Congress into this
Union" If Congress may admit new
States into this Union it may not ad-
NIT them, may withhold its consent
to new States being admitted into this
Union. may refuse to admit them.
discretion of Congress. There is no
appeal from the decision of Congress
except to the people at the next or
some subsequent election.
Thus, all apprehension regarding
the admission of the barbarians who
constitute the inhabitants of the
Philippine Islands into the United
States on an equality with the cit-
zens of this Republic. may be laid at
rest. That cannot be and will not be
unless the people of the United States
shall have become SO far degraded
as to elect a Congress that would ad-
nit them into the Union. 1t all de.
pends upon the people themselves.
Hitherto when territory has come
to Congress asking to be admitted as
one of the sisterhood of States it has
submitted to that body for examina-
ton the constitution under which it
proposes to be governed If Republi-
can, Congress has uniformly given its
consent
But the whole matter hinges around
the little word may. Congress may
admit new States when in it's judg-
ment they are fit to he admitted and
it may reject them when unfit. The
mitted to sisterhood in this union and
it may be a long time before they are
fit. There is no law which compels
their admission until Congress says
so.

WEAK POINTS IN BRYAN's ARMoB
Senator Scott Shows Up a Few OF tb
Many Flaws and Inconsistencies.

Senator Scott Shows Up a Few OF tb
Many Flaws and Inconsistencies.
| Senator Scott was asked last weel
if he had any comment to make on
Mr.. Bryan's speech. He replied that
he had not read all parts of it with
sufficient care to make an extended
| reply. But there was one feature
which impressed me-" he said, "and
| that was his solicitude for the Cubans
and Filipinos, who, he says. are de.
MED the privilege of self government,
while he ignores the poor black man
in our own. country who is guaranteed
the rights of citizenship and the fran.
chise by the Constitution. The Demo.
Gratis are just now making rapid prog
ress in the work of DISTINGUISHING
millions of negroes, and at the same
time they are clamoring for the lib
erty of the Filipino. Mr.. Bryan says
that God never made race of people
so low in the scale of intelligence
as to welcome foreign masters. But
does he suppose that God has created
in the American negro love for serv-
itude at home? The black man who
fought to save this Union is being de-
prived of the rights that he has
earned, and by the party in which Mr..
Bryan poses as q leader.
Il see, moreover, that Mr.. Bryan
does not refer to his pet hobby of 16
to !. Why is this? Is he trying to
evade and minimize the issue with
which he has so long been identified
and which he represents more than
any one else in the country can? Has
he heard warning from the sober
Democrats who prefer power to prin-
ciple? We We're told recently about
Mr.. Bryan's courage and his persist
ency for this principle, and how he
was able TO move the great conven-
tion at Kansas City, although two
thirds of them We're against him in
the matter. Apparently he is trying
TO trim his sails, now that it is too
late. But suppose that when he ac-
cepts the nomination of the silver Re
publicans he will have something to
say about 16 to /. | cannot believe
that he has abandoned the leading
oo'' ~ puotes lToul tHe IatnefS
of the Republic against Imperialism,
doesn't he? Well, there can be
other quotations from the same au-
thorities which give just the opposite
view. Do you know that George
Washington favored the pacification
Of Bermuda? Didn't jefferson say
thai there was no constitution so well
calculated as ours for extensive en-
pireG Wasn't it Lincoln who favored
the acquisition of territory to be used
for the colonization of slaves? OF
course Blyan's speech can be riddled
by those who have time to
make a careful reply, but these were
only points that suggested themselves

EXPANSION.

There's difference in expansion and
lines on which it goes
May lead TO richest blessing or hiring
us darkest woes.
There IS one expansion the true patriot
should spurn
When leading to depression or takes
rearward turn
FROM paths of peace and plenty into
byways 10 roam,
Expanding into mortgages upon Tho
hearth and home.
Though expansion of prosperity tends
TO foster greed
Ahd to cruel combinations has
tendency to lead
1et there's expansion casting SIM
shine DER the way
Since Mckinley was elected on last
election day.
Now 'ms new expansion is turning
back the tide
~ depression and stagnation once
flowing far and wide,
fcf since the last election there went
up mighty shout
WIN the humming of industry that
Will knock the mortgage out.
And this grand expansion of Il neonle
brave and true,
That follows in the wake of the fac
of spotless hue.
Is expanding in its mission and the
lands beyond the sea
WI know the blessed heritage Of
that flag of liberty.
Yes, this grand expansion has had tho
right of way
Since Mckinley vas elected on last
election day.
And this grand expansion along
Anglo-Saxon lines
Is reaching freedoms climax in the
bleeding Philippines,
While our sun lit islands, clustering
diamonds in the sea,
VIII be basking in the blessings of
expanding liberty.
There's expansion in expressing stand.
ard value sentiments
TO keep silver dollar worth Just a
hundred cents.
And expansion in the sparkling Of
forge and factory blaze
That stops the idle prattle of the
foolish free trade craze.
Expansion has expanded in most no.
tential way
Since Mckinley was elected on last
election day.
Iheres expansion in the grandeur Of
Gods eternal plan,
Never ceasing, but increasing for
upbuilding mortal man.
There's a craving for expansion NOV
ing every mortal soul,
Never ending, but intending to reach
higher goal.
lhere's expansion onward, upward. to
reach higher scale,
Ihere's expansion where our gun
boats and ships of commerce sail.
lheres expansion in the manner of
getting in our licks
since we voted for Mckinley in the
year ninety-six.
" we are all for expansion when il
comes our way.
SO here is to Bill Mckinley nm nevt
election day.
