EXPANSION.

There are two sides to the question
of expansion. One is the moral, the
other the commercial side. The one
includes the carrying OF order, peace
and Christianity-thc softer graces of
civiliZation-to lands that for all time
have been in darkness; the other the
extension of the material interests Of
the people of II country.
Dcvout men see in the capture of
Manila, without the loss of a life, the
finger of God guiding the prows of
Dcwey's ships over the torpedoes and
directing the guns to annihilate the
Spanish squadron, and believe that the
the chaos, out of the breaking of i'm
memorial letters and the doing away
with ~unspeakable cruelties, a new en-
~lightcnmcnt should arise, that justice
and mercy should have thrones built
to them on lands that had never known
.aught but cruelty and wrong, and that
the old flag should, for the myriads of
Asia, become what for a century past
it has been to the oppressed of Europe,
star of hope.
But nothing is wrought of good in this
world save through labor, and hence
the first essential of advancement is
to make sure that the poor may find
enough to do at generous wages to
make them a comfortable livelihood
and thus to kindle their s~elf-respect.
Hence it is just as necessary to see
to the material as to the moral status
of people. Indeed, until men have G.
nough of prosperity to kindle an hon
est pride in their hearts it is not
much use to tell them that they should
live higher and purer lives.
Governments can do little for people
except to clear Instructions from their
paths. do away with ~necessa laws.
the friction of which is a hindrance to
progress, and to open new fields
wherein the enegies of the people
can be exerted.
Hence the acquisition of the Philip
pines is a boon to the people of this
country, especially of the west coast.
The capture OF Manila and the sinking
of Cervera's fleet suddenly made of the
United States a world power. 1t was
at once discernible in the increased
trade that came to our country; it is
apparent every day now in the nego-
tiations going or in China, where the
United States is taking first place and
where it is clear that Great Britain,
Germany and Russia are more anX
ious to be in accord with the United
combined. Hence the acquisition of
the Philippines by our country is a
notice to all the world that hence
forth there is a new power to be o n
suited, and a power, too, that is not
seeking more territory. but only asking
that justice shall be done on all sides.
This will give to our country added,
immense prestige, and it will be seen
more and more in the direction which
trade will take.
From the great central mountains
Of Asia the rivers run down to the Pa

shore of the great ocean are gathered
two-ifths of the human race. In a lit
lie while all these swarming millions
will be stretching out their arms to

1t Happened in a Drug Store.

One day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for a brand
of cough medicine hat l did not have
in stock" says Mr.. c. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, n. Y.
She vas disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation l could
recommend. | said to her that | could
freely recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and that she could take
a bottle of the remedy and after Civ
ing it a fair trial if she did not find
it worth the money to bring back the
bottle and | would refund the price
paid. In the course of a day or two
the lady came back in company with
a friend in need of a cough medicine
and advised her to buy a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. | con-

dation for the remedy" 1t is for sale

KEPT ACTIVE BECAUSE OF THE
HOPE BRYANiSM GIVES
THEM.
Lieutenant-CoIonel James Campbell, a
Democrat and Ex-Congressman of
Illinois, Says the Philippine lnsur-
rection is Fed by the Democratic
Agitation in This Country.

The evidence aCCumulates that were
are constantly advocating the with
drawal of our army from the Philip
pines, the instruction would fall of its
own weight. 1t is nov down to bush
whacking, which will doubtless con
tinue till the Tagals are assured that
it is the purpose of the American PEG
pie to retain the islands. The Chica-
20 Inter-Ocean of October 8, 1900, adds
the following testimony:
The i~nsurrection in the Philippines
is kept alive by the democratic agita-
ton"
This was the emphatic declaration
Of Lieut.Col. James r. Campbell, of
the Thirtieth Volunteer Infantry,
which was organized near Chicago lit
tie more han a year ago.
Colonel Campbell, who is a lifelong
democrat and resigned a democratic
seat in congress to raise . regiment
for the Spanish war, returned recent,
ly from the Philippines. He is an Hi
nOis democrat from Egypt. and he has
always venerated the name of demo,
crat until now. He can not, however,
fight rebels ard vote with a party
that encourages the rebels to shoot
at his soldiers. He refuses to go with
his party in its glorification of Aguin'
aldo. for the reason that as a soldier
it is his sworn duty to assist in put
ting down Aguinaldo's Instruction,
Colonel Campbell is home on a thir
ty days leave of absence. He left his
regiment in the Philippines, where the
boys are guarding the loyal Filipinos
and their property from the attacks
of the guerrillas, who are trying to
murder and plumber all who do not
follow the cause of Aguinaldo. Colo
mel Campbell will spend about a month
at his home in Hamilton county, and
he will tell his old democratic friends
in that part of the state some things
about the Philippines and the insur
~rection that they can not learn from
Mr.. Bryan's speeches. He says tina,
the Instruction is kept alive by Mr.
Bryan's agitation against Imperialism
'Aguinaldo and his small bands Of
marauding natives are keeping up the
struggle in hope of Bryan's election
said Colonel Campbell.
IF it were not for the encourage
ment given them by Mr.. Bryan IL
this country they would have given VI
the struggle long ago and the insur'
~rection would have collapsed. The
trouble would have ended with the
assertion of our authority and driving

AguinaIdc on the run.

'Aguinaldo has been on the run for
a year. He never stays in one place
two nights at a time. He is continu-
ally on the move and in constant fear
of assassination by his own men. The
insurgents have no organization. They
are simply rowing bands of guerrillas.
They are here today and there tomor-
row. They are always on the sneak
or the run. They lie in wait for our
soldiers or peaceful Filipinos and try
to murder them. 1t is not war. 1t is
simply murder and robbery by guer-
Tillas. The Filipinos who have prop
crty and are intelligent have 10 SYM
patty with Aguinaldo and his insur-
rection. They do not care for Mr..
Bryan's help. They desire that the
United States shall retain the island,
and they fear that in case of Mr.. Bry,
ans election he will place Aguinaldo
in power . That would mean to them
greater tyranny than they suffered I'M
der Spanish rule. They know Aguin-
aldo, and he is not a George Washing
ton to them. He is simply a leader of
rebels, who would be a tyrant and
murder all who did not submit to his
will.
There are intelligent and progress
i've FilipinOs. They are good business
men. They have large interests,
which are in danger from a change of
administration here, because, accord
ing to Mr.. Bryan's pledges, it means
a change over there and a withdrawal
of our protection.

Open New Markets.

They do not want a change of adj
m"inistration here If | can judge. l
know they do not want this govern
ment to carry Out the pledges Mr.. Bry-
Philippines. They feel the good effect
of our expansion policy. 1t has open
ed new markets to the Filipinos, and
they do not want to lose the oppor-
tunities given them for new trade. l
have talked with many of the natives
and they tell me that the Filipinos are
not ready for self-government, and
will lot be for some years to come.
They realized this the more clearly
since they see what trouble Aguinaldo
has made for them and the peaceful
government of the islands, with but a
few thousand men. The insurrection
would have ended soon after it began
if it had o been for the agitation in
this country, yet Aguinaldo has been
kept informed of the division Of senti-
ment here. He has been encouraged
to continue the struggle with a hope
a democratic victory in this coun-
try. He and his followers have been
looking to Mr.. Bryan to aid them in
heir insurrection. The instruction
has been kept alive by the democrats.
They are trying to make political cap !

The Dayis Amendment Pre-
vailed by a Big Majority
WILL ENGLAND ACCEPT It?
That is the Question to be
Considered now
London Papers have for the Most Part
Bitterly Criticized the Amend
ment as Unfriendly TO England

Washington, Dec. 13.-The Davis
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty was adopted by vote of So to
II in the Senate this afternoon.
This amendment provides that GER
tain of the neutrality regulations OF
the canal shall not interfere with the
United States taking such steps as it
shall find needful to protect its inter
ests with its own forces. The amend
ment allows the provision against
fertilization of the canal to stand.
After the vote on the Davis amend
ment, a number of additional amend
ments were offered, One by Senator
Elkins provided for the abrogation of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in its en-
tirety. Another amendment provided
that the United States shall have au-
thority to acquire possession of terri
tory ad jacent to canal.

by bands OF footpads and hoodlums
who terrorize the residents.
The papers are filled with accounts
of their nightly exploits. The work.
men were attacked few nights ago by
four providers, who, after picking
quarrel, almost decapitated one of the
workmen and stabbed.theI other in the
abdomen. None of the murderers have
yet been traced. A feature of these
nocturnal attacks if that they are often
not accompanied by robber, but are
perpetrated, apparently by blood
thirsty criminals, frequently boys in
their teens.
In fairness it must be said that the
present condition of crime is largely
due to the number of workmen, street
hawkers and others who came to
Paris attracted by theiexposition, and
who are now walking the streets out of
work. 1t is estimated by the statistic
ian of the central labor bureau that in
twenty-five trades PIP, 5000 of $40, coo
are out of work. The officials of the
prefecture of police calculate that 3, 900
sufferers from the close of the exposi-
ton have joined the criminal army.
