quest Congress to appropriate
over 800, 0oo to pay the rent of

Mr.. Gage is undoubtedly a brave
man, but it cannot be said that
he is a wise one. Either he
should have told the truth about
the rent without evasion, when
he sent his famous explanation

have let the rent go. AS mat
ters stand, he has convicted him
self of a pitiful subterfuge. If a
man must tell falsehood, he
should at least stick to it.

selfish and generous purposes,
and that those insult US who do

In the course of that war Com
modore Dewey, by a brilliant
feat of arms, destroyed the Span
ish fleet in the harbor of Manila.
This did not change the heralded
character of the war-certainly
not in Dewey's opinion. The
Filipinos, constituting the strong
est and foremost tribe OF the
population of the archipelago,
had long been fighting for free
dom and independence, just as
the Cubans had. The great mass
of the islanders sympathized
with them. They fought'for the
same cause as the Cubans, and
they fought against the same
enemy-the same enemy against
whom we were waging our war
of humanity and liberation. They
had the same title to freedom
and independence which was rec
ognized as "of right" in the
Cubans-nay, more; as Admiral
Dewey telegraphed to our gov
eminent, "they are far superior
in their intelligence, and more
capable of self-government than
the natives of Cuba" The Ad-
miral adds: II am familiar with
both races, and further inter
course with them has confirmed
me in this opinion.
Indeed, the mendacious stories
spread by our imperialists which
represent those people as barbar-
ians, their doings as mere "sav-
agery," and their chiefs as no
better than "cut-throats," have
been refuted by such mass OF
authoritative testimony, coming
in part from men who are them
selves imperialists, that their
authors should hide their heads
in shame; for surely, it is not the
part of really brave men to cal
umniate their victims before sac
rificing them. We need not
praise the F'ilipinos as in every
way the equals of the "embattled
farmers" of Lexington and Con
cord, and Aguinaldo as the peer
of Washington, but they are the
superiors of the Cubans and
the Mexicans. AS to Aguinaldo,
Admiral Dewey is credited with
saying that he is controlled by
men ADLER than himself. The
same could be said of more than
one of our Presidents. More,
over, it would prove that those
are greatly mistaken who predict
that the Filipino uprising would
collapse were Aguinaldo captur
ed or killed. The old Islander
that Aguinaldo had sold out the
revolutionary movement for a
bride of 100000 has been SC
thoroughly exploded by the best
authority that it requires uncom
mon audacity to repeat it. (See
Senate Doc. 90; page 42D.

citizens of Chicago on the subject
of American Imperialism, mean
ing the policy of annexing to this
republic distant countries and
alien populations that will not
fit into our democratic system of
government. l discussed at that
time mainly the baneful effect the
pursuit of an imperialistic policy
would produce upon our political
institutions. After long silence,
during which have carefully re-
viewed my own opinions, as well
as those of others in the light of
the best information I could OBJ
tain, l shall now approach the
subject from another point of
view.
We all know that the popular
mind is much disturbed by the
Philippine war; and that, how
ever highly we admire the BRAY
cry of our soldiers, nobody pro
fesses to be proud of the war it.
self. There are few Americans
who do not frankly admit their
regret that this war should ever
have happened. 1 think I risk
nothing when l say that it is not
merely the bungling conduct of
military operations, but serious
trouble of conscience, that dis
turbs the American heart about
this war, and that this trouble of
conscience will not be allayed by
a more successful military cam
paign, just as fifty years ago the
trouble of conscience about slav-
cry could not be allayed by any
compromise.
Many people now, as the slav-
cry compromisers did then, try
to ease their minds by saying :
well, we are in it, and now we
must do the best we can" In
spite Of the obvious futility of
this cry in some respects, l will
accept it with the one proviso,
that we can make an honest eff
fort to ascertain what really is
the best we can do. TO this end
let us first clearly remember
what has happened.
In April, 1898, we went to war
with Spain for the avowed pur-
pose of liberating the people Of
Cuba, who had long been strug-
Cling for freedom and independ-
ence. Our object in that wal
was clearly and emphatically
proclaimed by a solemn resolu,
ton of Congress repudiating al
intention of annexation on our
part, and declaring that the
Cuban people ''are, and of right
ought to be, free and independ
ent." This solemn declaration
was made to do justice to the
spirit of the American people
who were indeed willing to wage
a war of liberation, but would not
have consented to war of con
quest. 1t was to propitiate the
opinion of mankind for oul
action. President Mckinley also
declared with equal solemnity
that annexation by force could
not be thought of, because, &C
cording to our code of morals, il
would be criminal aggression.
Can it justly be pretended thai
tehse declarations referred only
to the island of Cuba What
would the American people
what would the world have said
if Congress had resolved that
the Cuban people were indeed
rightfully entitled to freedom
and independence, but that as tc
the people of other Spanish col
onies we recognized no sucl
right; and if President Mckinley
had declared that the forciblt
annexation of Cuba would bt
criminal, but that the forciblt
annexation of Cuba would b.
criminal, but the forcible annex
alton of other Spanish colonies
would be righteous act ? a
general outburst of protest from
our own people, and of derisiol

come soon as possible" The
meeting was had. Dewey sailed
to Manila to destroy the Spanish
feet, and Aguinaldo was taken
TO the seat of war on a vessel OF
the United States. His forces
received a supply of arms from
Commodore Dewey, and olu
faithfully and effectively cooper
ate with our forces against the
Spaniards, so effectively, indeed,
that soon afterwards by their
efforts the Spaniards had lost
the whole country, except a few
garr;sons in which they were
practically blockaded.
Now, what were the relations
between the Philippine insur-
gents and this republic ? There
is some dispute as to certain
agreements, including a promise
of Philippine independence, said
to have been made between Agul-
naldo and our Consul General at
Singapore, before Aguinaldo
proceeded to cooperate with
Dewey. But l lay no stress
upon this point. I will let only
the record of facts speak. O1
these facts the first of highest
importance, is that Aguinaldo
was desired" that is, invited
by officers of the United States
to cooperate with our forces,
The second is that the Filipino
Junta in Hong Kong immediate
ly after these conferences ap
pealed to their countrymen tt
receive the American feet abou
to sail for Manila, as friends, by
a proclamation which had these
words "Compatriots, divine
Providence is about to place in

mercenary motives, but for thu
sake of humanity, have consid
cred it opportune to extend thei1
protecting mantle to our beloved
country. Where you see tn,
American flag flying, assemble
in mass. They are our redeem
ers." With this faith his follow
ers gave Aguinaldo a rapturou
greeting upon his arrival a

government and organized hi
army under Dewey's eyes.

The project for building a new ia
cade to the cathedral of Milan, which
has been at the point of execution for
fourteen years, is receiving so much
opposition that it is not impossible
that it may be abandoned. The old
facade struck a discordant note, but
many Of its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost Of the construction of the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan if the construction was not
begun within a certain time, it is
probable that the Milanese public will
not regard the loss of a new facade a
serious matter.
