to watch every insidious Influence
that might undermine it, He said
his conscience was the guide in this
matter aud he would listen 20 no
other influence. Senator Wellington
made no direct reference to President
Mckinley or the Administration.
Closing, he said lie did not agree with
the German pessiInist who said life
was not worth living. The joy that
fills the human breast at the return
of day with the breaking OF the dawn,
the kiss of the mother, the wife or the
sweetheart, the sincere and earnest
clasp OF the hand of friend, the
melody that fills the heart in com.
muninS with the Creator upon retiI-
ing to rest at niRht-thess are the
things that make life worth living and
make optimism the only philosophy.
Senator Wellington spoke for about
| twenty-five minutes and was very
serious, vet spoke with much force
and emphasis. a close observer OF
career said that he never saw him
| show SO much force before in his lite.

4 FOOL BARGAIN.

The PaiIadelphiG Times n strong
administration paper says:
"In buying the Philippine Islands,
for which we paid S20,000,000, with
the privilege of putting down very
vigorous rebe lion to make our title
worth Il picayuue, our treaty dragnet
somehow managed TO let TWO little
islands escape. Tine total area of the
two does not exceed seventy square
miles and the entire population does
not exceed that of Il Pennsylvania
borough. The islands would be value
less if acquired by gift, but Spain
wants to drive IL hard bargain and is
trying to get 800 900 for them.
No one will complain of Spain for
trying to get good money for any
islands it may have lying around
loose, but the United States has
islands to burn at present, and it
hardly seems worth while to buy
more. The wiser plan would be to
allow Spain to sell her two little islets
to some country that is really short
on islands.
We have spent money enough for
unconquered, unwilling islands at
least"

WELLINGTON FOR BRYAN?

II
Washington dispatches to the Bal
| timore sun indicate that the senior
! Senator from Maryland will at the
| most remain passive in the President
! ial campaign or may come out and
take the stump for Bryan OH account
of, his own party's position on imper-
ialism. 1t says:
"While the Republicans continue to
'pooh-pooh' the charge of imperialism
they are exhibiting great uneasiness
over the attitude of uncompromising
opponents OF the Administration i'm
perialistic policy within the ranks of
| the Republican party. The danger of
| considerable detection in the rank
and file has aroused the leaders to
| action.
"a rumor has been current for the
| last day or two that Senator yelling
ton would take the stump for Bryan.
This report is based on his well-known
aversion to everything Of an imperial
| istic character. 1t would be & novel
spectacle, indeed, to see the senior
Senator from Maryland addressing
audiences i'll support of man he
| helped to defeat in 1896.
"An attempt will be made to secure
from Mr.. Wellington a promise of
active assistance to the Democratic
party in Maryland this year, bu5 it
is not believed he will consent to do
more than remain passive in the cam
paign. His Cumberland speech at
the Maryland State Bar Association
meeting has given rise to all sorts of
speculation"
The now famous speech has been
republished throughout the country
We take pleasure in repubishing an
extract of it.
Senator Wellington said he wonid
represent the great body of laymen in
what he would have to say-the class
upon whom the the bar depended for
their support. He said it was the
duty of members of the bar, above all

was the Constitution of the United

Others may be willing to yield to the

which the fathers bled and died.

STARR ON IMPERIALISM.

The Chicago University has furnish
ed another leader for the patriotic
/ army arrayed against imperialism.
The acquisition of Prof. Frederick
Starr by the foes Of the Empire COM
pletes brilliant quartet of political
economists and historians of that in
stitution whose recent utterances on
this all important issue have stirred
the country. 1t is noteworthy that all
four, Professors Herman Won Hoist :,
Laurence Laughlin, Charles Ieublin
and Frederick Starr opposed the cleo
ton of Bryan in 1896. Professor Starts
confession of faith is contained in the
following.
I'VE Americans know but little of

who inhahit the Philippines
Scores of tribes. They are not one
people, speaking enc language; in
stead they differ in physical charac-
teristics, have different customs, and
speak various tongues. There nre
four totally different groups of tribes.
"Those who first occupied the land,
the aborigines, were negrittos. This
word means little negroes aud it
adequately describes them. They are
black pigmies, having crinkly hair;
like negroes they are savage in Gull
ture; except where they follow agri-
culture rudely they gain their susten-
ance from hunting. Originally these
negrittos possessed the entire archi-
pelago; now they arc found Only in re-
mote or mountainous regions. AT
present there are only 20 900 of them.
Perhaps 1000 years or more b. c.,
the Malays first entered the country.
Many tribes, differing in language,
represent this earliest migration.
Many of these Malays are comparable
to the Dyaks of Borneo, who are fierce
and warlike and famous for head
hunting The head hunter kills
man to get q head as g trophy only.
The women belonging to these tribes
look with scorn upon a sutton unless
he brings to her the head of some man.
The Igorrotes and the TiDgians are
the best known of those early invaders
"a second invasion of the Malays
took place from 100 to 500 A. ID.
Among those who came this time were
the Tagals. Since their arrival in the
Philippines these Tagals have been
advancing in civilization, and are to
day taking climatic conditions into
account, a ciSilized people. They live
