the year will be laid before you. The
provision for military expenditure must
be largely increased on account of the
charge for military operations in South
Africa. The experience of great war
must necessarily afford lessons of the
greatest importance to the military adj
ministrations of the country. You will
not, / am convinced, shrink from any
outlay that may be required to place our
defensive preparations on level with
the responsibilities which the possession
of 50 great an empire has laid upon US.
At time wher several other nations are
perfecting their naval preparations at
the cost of increasing efforts and sacri-
fees, the solicitude with which you have
provided for the efficiency of CUR navy
and our coast defenses will assursdly not
be relaxed
The rest Of the speech, recognizing that
the time is not propitious for domes-
tic reforms involving large expenditure.
recommends amendments to the agri-
cultural, educational, company, railway
and accident laws, and concludes:
at appears that service in South Africa
may have the effect Of DISTINGUISHING
those taking part in it. and you will be
asked to sanction measure by which
this injustice will be prevented.

anxious time to the blessing and guild
ance of Almighty Cod

Will Demand Recognition of Trans
vaaI and Free State Independence.
LONDON. Jan. 30-John e. Redmond
made the following statement to a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press:
The crisis Ia imperial affairs, the con :
sequence of which no one can foretell,
has caused reunion in the ranks of the
Irish members. We will act unanimously,
chiefly because of desire to make Ire
land felt at this stage in assisting the gal
liant South African republics to maintain
their independence. The first act of the
reunited Irish party will be to move an
address in support of the Beers. This
task has been assigned to me- l regard
the reunion on Parne1l.s principles of in
dependence as genuine. One question, that
of the craftsmanship, will not be settled
for some days. But think a unanimous
selection will be made"
The gossip at Westminster this even-
ing attaches more than usual interest to
the meeting of the Irish National party
this evening. Today's reunion is based
upon the principle that the united party
must be absolutely independent of all
British parties" One of the articles of
the new agreement Is that the chairman
is to be taken from the Parnellite section.
and there are many things which indicate
the selection of John Redmond, whose
amendment to the address will be as fol-
lows:
THAT the war now being waged in
South Africa is entirely unjust, unnecss
sary. and has already brought grievous
sufferings. not only on the peop.e Of the
South African republics. but upon the
people of the United Kingdom. and the
time has come when 1t should be brought
to close upon the basis of a recognition
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State

said Publication of FiIfpinos
Must Come First, and by sword.

wAsHINGItotNS. Jan. 80. = For more
than three hotirs to-day Mr.. Bacon (Dem..
Ga.) occupied the attention. Of the senate
with discussion of the Philippine ques-
ton. HIS argument, which had for its
basis bis own resolution declaratory OF
the governments policy towards the Phil
ippines, was listened to carefully by his
fellow senator's and by a large gallery.
He maintained that the United States
owed as mucHfo the Filipinos as 1t does
to the cubans, TO whom, by resolution of
congress, self-goyernment had been prom
ised, and ne strongly urged that his res
eolutions declaring it to be the intention
OF this government to confer the right of
self-government upon the Filfpinos be
adopted, not only. as means of ter
mlnating the war, but for extending to a
struggling people justice and freedom.
AS Bir. Bacon was concluding livery
colloquy occurred between him and sew
eral other senators.
I Mr. Spooner inquired on what theory
Mr. Bacon proposed a declaration by this
subsequent congresses
Mr.. Bacon responded that the same
declaration which the Fifty-sixth con-
gress had made with reference TO the
Cubans ought to be made with reference
to the F'ilipinos. Congress had the right
to make such a declaration, even if it
were not binding upon future congresses.
Mr.. Teller, the author of the Cuban
resolution. said that it had been mat
ter Of sincere regret that he had not in
corporated In the resolutions the people
of ali Spanish possessions acquired by

cont thing that has enabled Glasgow
to accomplish so much is the high order
of the public officials Partisan polltlcS
has absolutely no place in our municipal
affairs
When the city of st. Paul reaches that
millennial condition-when the ward poll
tician ceases from troubling and the tax
payer is at rest-this question of munic-
ipal ownership may become a practicable
issue. The fact that the municipal cleo
tons in st. Paul are held at different
time than the county, state and national
elections would seem to indicate that the
fathers of the city charter contemplated
the divorce of politics from municipal at
fairs, and perhaps. in their golden youth,
the pioneers of st. Paul may have had
such rosy dreams. But the politician
RACES just as furiously in May as he does
in November. and until civil service has
robbed municipal Office and service of it's
excessive emoluments and insecurity OF
tenure the politician will continue to pur-
sue the fat job with his utmost vigor.
But the distinctiveness Of the city election
from other elections should tend to make
easier the first steps in municipal re-
form, and civic questions could be present
ed in such way that they could be
voted upon by the citizens without danger
of political entapglements. And it should

A JUST DEMAND.

Inc demand winch is peliS put ioi-
ward by the delegates from Puerto Rico,
row in Washington, are not at all as rad
ical as the imperialist press is disposed
to regard them. These men simply con-
fine themselves to asking that they be
given the advantage of territorial form
of government. (.
This demand was not looked upon as at
all unreasonable some short time ago. The
first military governor of Puerto Rico,
Gen. Guy v. Henry, was III favor of it,
and the general disposition In administra-
ton circles was to regard the demand
as within reason and as capable of be-
ing granted after some preliminary work
in the way of governmental authority
under American auspices had been ac-
regard it with great disfavor is nothing
less than afterthought The exigeneies
of Imperialism dictate that course. And
yet there is nothing even in the imperial
list situation which is inconsistent with
the allowance of the Puerto Rican de-
mand.
1t must be quite plain to the administra-
ton that the movement in favor of free
trade inaugurated by the president will
meet with the settled opposition of those
who are interested in a variety of pro-
tected industries. Already the president
is being abused in shocking manner on
account of the free trade policy. What
with free tobacco and cheap wool from
the Argentine and cheaper commodities
of different kinds from France and else
where as the result of reciprocity, there
! will be little chance for the administra-
ton to defend its Puerto Rican policy ON
any theory other than that of the early
! introduction of the island into the Amer
! lean system. t@
Whatever the colonial policy may prove
| to be which is now in process of incuba-
tior, it's application to the Philippines is,
after all. the main thing. Conditions do
not warrant it's permanent establishment,
| even as an experiment or as subter-
! fuge, in any other OF our new posses
sions.' Indeed, the embodiment Of
Puerto Rico and Hawaii in our political
system represents the ''open door" for
/ the administration out of it's principal
! embarrassments in the present situation.
! The door may hardly be wide enough. but
| 1t represents an avenue of escape which
! is not available elsewhere.
| The Puerto Rican demand will be
| granted sooner or later. The require
! ments as to population are already real
! lied In a greater degree than was real
| lied in many of the territories which are
now part of Our system at the time Of
| their organization as territories does
| Puerto Rico fulfill constitutional require
ments. Waving the questions that are
! still open as to expansion of the repub-
lie beyond the body of the Ameri-
can continent, the Puerto Rican demand
appeals strongly to American sympathy.
| But above and beyond all other consid-
| erations it's organization as a territory
! helps the administration out Of one of
the manifold difficulties in which it has
involved itself by its imperialistic pros
| jects.
