ward the Filipinos. 1t has not been
thought necessary or proper to tell the
people OF the islands or any section of
them save the Mohammedan natives OF
the Sulus what the Americans contem-
plate doing in the last event with ref
erence to them. No one outside the
White house, unless it be Senator Hanna.
knows what sort of government it is
designed to tender to the Philippines.
That informa ton has been deliberately
withheld both from those Immediately
concerned and from the American people.
For over a year the Filipinos have re-
sented that sort of trea tment, and have
shown that their civil and political lib
critics are not to be disposed of In any
such cavalier style. They have found
the means of impressing on both civil
and criminal authority their ability to
insist upon having their wishes consult
least to the Spaniards; but as We are
much less impressionable people than
the Spanish. it will probably require
some further efforts in that behalf on the
part of Aguinaldo and his followers be-
fore we have learned the lesson. But,
as Gen. Otis suggests. we have num-
Der of years before us, and, as is gen
orally understood, a great many things
may happen in number of years.
The sort of policy which Gen. OTIS out
lines above is that of militarism pure
and simple. It implies an utter disre-
gard of the wishes or disposition of
those who are made It's objects. 1t is
the kind of policy which has been pur-
sued toward every subject people in his
tory, as well as. in modern times, toward
every people upon whom the processes of
subjugation were put in operation. 1t
Implies that those who are its victims
are unworthy of serious consideration
as se!f-governing people.
And yet Gen. Otis thiaks proper in the
interview aforesaid to speak in terms Of
very high praise of the people toward
whom we practice that policy. He says;
nave spent year ana ndlr anlSnS
the t'flipinOs, and l want to say they are
without doubt the best of any of tho
Asiatic races living on the Pacific coast
and Islands. TIL ir acqu sitive abilities
are remarkable. The young and old are
anxious to learn from the Americans, and
are quick to do SO if given an oppor-
tunity."
The educational value of the presence of
the Americans in the Philippines has
never been regarded as being especia ly
strong. But. according to Gen. Otis, the
desire to learn is there, if it is allowed
an opportunity 1t is being allowed an
opportunity; and the Filipinos are Iea:n-
ing quite fast, even though their ad-
vances do not appear plain to Gen. Otis.
They have learned so much that their
understanding of free government has no
doubt undergone considerable charge
since they first saw it in operation over
their own : ffaiVo

FRIDAY, JUNE Is, 1900.
GOV. MOUNT,s REFUsAI.

The action of the state executive of In
diana in refusing to honor the reouisition
of the governor of kentucky for the re-
turn of the man Taylor. charged with
completely in the murder of the late SEN
ator Goebel, will, Of course, be viewed
differently according to the more or less
strong party political bias of those who
consider it. There can be no doubt what
ever that Gov Mount exercises a dis
cretionary right when he refuses to honor
the reauisltion. He does not base his re-
fusal. at least directly, on any doubt
which exists as to the guilt of the ac
cused man, although in his published
opinion he is represented as indulging in
some very singular language indicating
that the criminals in this case are in his
opinion those who apply for the requi-
siton, rather than those for whose re-
turn ii was issued.
The claim that Taylor would not secure
fair trial in Kentucky is very i'm
pudent proposition. It is a reflection on
the good faith of the officials of Ken
lucky which there is nothing whatever

Mount hnds it necessary to rely on the
statement of a partisan Judge To do so

No one will stop TO bestow serious
thought on the claims advanced to sustain
the refusal to return Taylor for trial for
the murder which his political confed-
crates committed expressly or implicitly
with his sanction. 1t IS merely the ef-
fort of one unscrupulous partisan poll

sequences of a crime for which no one

lor sought refuge in Indiana. knowing
that he could rely on Mount to throw
around him all the protection which the
power of a great commonwealth may ex-
tend even to crime. He has not found
his reliance mistaken. Doubtless. as the
result of his escape from Kentucky. he
will never be brought to justice. He has
wisely for himself Withdrawn from active
political life, and will doubtless give up
his residence in the state, at least until
he finds it entirely safe to return. Ia the
interval the trial of those who are al
ready in custody for the murder of the
late Mr.. Goebel will settle the question
largely whether Taylor had or had not
any guilty knowledge of the crime.

WHAT PEOPLE PAY
In Taxes for the Republican Policy
of Imperialism.

of Imperialism.
Baltimore Sun.
The first session of the Fifty-sixth con-
gress ended with a record for extrava-
gance with the peoples money which will
not soon be forgotten. The appropria-
tions made at this session aggregate $715,-
900. COO in round numbers, of which $l14,-
220, ,095 Is for the army and S65, ,0S0. .9l6 for
the navy. These two items must be cred
tied to our imperial policy. They indicate
very plainly what our heavily taxed peo-
pie may expext in the future if this
policy is continued. According to Rep
resentative Livingston. no part of the
cost of Warships recently authorized by
congress and estimated at $56, 600 ap-
pears in the total Of appropria tiOns made
at this session.
In addition there is no appropriation for
river and harbor improvements. with the
exception of a few small items, nor Is
any provision made for public buildings
or for the payment of claims against
the government. If the senate had fol-
lowed the lead of the house and passed
the Nicaragua canal bill, with its pro-
vision for an expenditure of SAL 600 900
for the construction of the canal, and if
the usual appropriations for river and
haTbor improvements, public buildings
and the payment of claims had been
at this session would have aggregated
sS19, 72s,F6 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that, as much as they desired to
pass the ship subsidy bill, the Repub lean
leaders, after securing a favorable report
on 1t In both houses, postponed final nc
ton until the next session of congress.
This measure authorizes bountiss aggre-
eating 2O.OO0,O00 The appropriations at
the first session show an increase, as
Mr.. Livingston points out, "all along the
line, while large amounts that must be
met have been withheld until the next
session" when it is probable the expendi-
lures will be equally extravagant. The
republicans are fast reaching the point
when "billion-dOllar congress- will he
regarded as an economical body, and
"Llllion-and-a-half' statesmen will be the
rule, rather than the exception. The peo-
pie are not likely to overlook the fact
that the money which congress is spend-
Ing with such lavish hand is taken from
their pockets by system of excessive
