EXCHANGE INTERVIEWS.

The democratic policy with reference TO
the PHILIPPINES is plainly stated in the Kan
Giate declaration Of the Nations purpose to
give the Fill pinos first a stable form OF
government; second. independence; third, pro- /.
lection from outside interference. --Greenville /
Herald
The establishment of the reforms included
in this policy is contamination most de-
voutlv to be wished. not only by tho Fill
uinos themselves. but by every loyal citizen
of the United States

A republican exchange comments very Sc
verey upon the German emneror's farewell
address TO his troops upon their departure
for China. when he told thim TO SPARE
nobody. Take no prisoners" w IL the brother
tell us how much difference there is be-
tween that ana the reports coming in from
the Philippines where no prisoners are pc
ing taken. and war OF determination bear
ing the sanction of the great and good Nc
Kinlev is beng waged by United States
troops ?-Westlake Herald
The difference probably lies in the fact that
the German ruler did not hesitate to inform
the whole world as to his desires in the prem
ises, while on the other hand, the orders
of the imperalistc potentate OF the United
States sere not made public.

Chronicle.
The Chronicle should make distinction
between republicans ard Hawleycrats. The
people of tho Tenth district Will This Mear
demonstrate by electing Mr.. Burgess the
fact that they do not want either r. b. or
J. II. Hawley to represent them In congress-
although OF course. they appreciate very
highly tho wonderful solicitude for their well
faro shown bv tho latter in his generous
offer to take his brothers place.

Proceeding on this theory II would appear
that in China at the present dime there is
only one class OF good chinamen-the dead
