His Speech in the House on the
Philippine Question.
EXPANSION HAS COME TO STAY
1t Is an Original Democratic Doctrine
Promulgated by Thomas Jefferson
the Father of Democracy.

One OF the most patriotic speeches
made in the House this session was that
OF Representative Joseph Sibley of Penn
sylvania last week. Mr. Siblev criticized
his fellow Democrats for opposing the
Administrations Philippine policy and
appealed to his colleagues to return to
the teachings Of the Democratic fathers
He declared that no argument against
expansion has been heard which was
not urged against the annexation of
Louisiana and Texas.
"Shall we hold Puerto Rico and the
Philippine archipelago" asked Mr..
Sibley. Every foot. No nation en-
high has a higher right of title to rod
of soil. We have double title of pur-
chase and conquest, and my belief is
that when once the shadow Of our ban
ner has fallen there will survive a race
OF free men, | would hold Cuba until
stability, order, good government and
the protection of life and property are
assured. / am going to echo the presi-
dents query: Who will haul down the
flag? What cabinet council, what war
rior, what statesman, what senator or
representative, what body of men
formed any plan of conquest? The
cries of suffering humanity rang in
our ears and we stopped our ears. The
groans were heard, but we answered
not We saw them stripped and wound
ed on our way to Jericho, and. like the
priest anl the Levite, we passed by
on the other side Not unheard those
cries and groans at the throne of the
Almighty, who, to awaken us from
apathy, our almost criminal indiffer-
ence, permitted the engines of His
wrath to hurl their thunderbolts under
the bows OF the Maine, lying peacefully
at anchor in Havana harbor Nor
keenest-sighted statesman, nor most
daring warrior, had dreamed even of
the possibility of great gain, growth
or greatness to come to us as a nation
from that war where the blowing up
OF the Maine was the first declaration

arms gave us that territory, not be-
cause we are nation altogether free

THE CITY FATHERS IN SESSION
Routine and Other General Business Trans
acted Last Monday Night.
Contracts for Supplying the City With
Light and Printing Awarded.
A Sexton Appointed.

The city council met in regular SEES
sion last Monday night with all mem
bers present except Aid. Fairbairn
Mayor Boyd presided at he meeting.
Considerable routine business was dis
posed of, such as auditing bills and ex-
a niLing the reports of the several ci y
officers
The judiciary committee returned
with their approval the bond of the
chief of police, and upon motion the
same was ordered filed.
The chairman of the board of health,
in his report, called attention to the I'M
sanitary condition of the premises of
various residents within the city, and
after some discussion that official was
advised to have the city marshal serve
notice upon such residents to clean up
at once.
Upon recommendation of the light
committee the bid of the Philipsburg-
Granite Electric Light Go. for furnish
ing the city with street lights was ac-
cepted.
The contract for supplying the city
With the necessary printing for the year
1900 was awarded to The Philipsburg
Mail
The clerk was instructed to draw up
contracts for light and printing.
The attention of the council was
called to tho fact that several weeks
ago carload of powder had been left
standing on q side-track near the depot
for three days and nights Such action
on the part of the railroad company is
dangerous to life and property and in
violation of the state law. The horrors
of the Butte explosions several years
ago were called to mind, and it was the
sense OF the council to have the proper
officers see to it that in the future car
loads of powder are not left standing
within the limits of the city any longer
than necessary.
Upon recommendation of the ceme-
terry committee w. A. Jones was ap-
pointed sexton. Mr.. Jones acted in
that capacity before, but had been alb
sent from the city for some time The
clerk was instructed to advise him of
his reappointment.

A LETTER FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

Thomas II. Brazil Writes From the Pres
ent Seat of War.
A letter was received this week by
Frank D. Sayrs of this city from Thos.
R. Brazil, former Philipsburger, but
since 1894 resident of the Transvaal.
Mr.. Brazil, under date of Jan. 9Th,
writes that he is serving in the Boer
army, but cannot communicate any war
news on account of the strict censor.
He states that all letters are opened by
the military authorities and no infor.
nation concerning the situation at the
seat of war is permitted to pass.
"The bleak parched veldt is my bed
tonight" writes Mr.. Brazil "and
know not what tomorrow may bring
but we live in hopes, and some day, if
survive the war, / may be permitted tc
relate some interesting tales"
He asks that letters for him be ad.
dressed to Cape Town, South Africa
where he has friends who will forward
them to him.
