A notable event in the nationa
senate was the speech Of Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, on the Philip
pines, Tuesday the 9th inst. L
ranked high in literary merit ant
higher as a careful exposition of con
dition in the islands and the duties o.
this cauntry thereto. Mr.. Beveridge
it will not be forgotten, was a mem
of the Philippines Commission. Ht
went to Manila opposed to the reten.
tion of the islands by this country
but study of the situation on the
ground compelled him to change his
views. We would be glad to publish
his speech would space permit, but
as it is must be content with giving
one short extract for the benefit OF
those un-American fellow citizens
whom you will all recognize. Mr..
Beveridge said:
"Onr mistake has not been cruelty;
it has been kindness. It has been the
application to Spanish Maiays of
methods appropriated New England.
Every device Of mercy, every method
of concilation has been employed by
the peace-loving president Of the
American republic to the amazemcnt
of nations experienced in oriental re-
volt. The friendly methods Of peace
have been thoroughly tried, only to
make peace more difficult. There is
not now. and never was, any possible
course but ceaseless operations in the
field and loyal support of the war at

on the stump and in the press of
faction in the United States, that

fired into the breasts Of American

Sucus
Ifit had not been for the insane
desire of President Cleveland and of
Josiah Quincy, then assistant Secre-
tary of State to wipe out every trace
of James G. Blaine's management Of
the State Department. the United
States would now be the owner of q
coaling station in the Galapagos
islands, near Ecuador, for which
Great Britain is said to be negotiat-
ing. Toward the close of Mr.. Blaine's
term, he sent instructions to. Minister
Mahaney at Guayaquil, TO- ascertain
whether Ecuador would part with
one of the islands. just when Mr..
Mahaney had arranged matters, his
resignation was demanded by Mr..
Cleveland, who had come into Office.
When new man was sent, he went
with instructions to undo everything
that Blaine had accomplished. 1t
was with the same idea in mind that
the reciprocity treaties. negotiated
by Mr.. Blaine with various countries,
we're ruthlessly abrogated. Ecuador
will sell, it is believed, but in view of
the commanding position of the is
lands of the Pacific entrance to the
Nicaraguan canal, she will probably
demand a much higher price than
that asked in Mr.. Mahaney's time.
Senator Beveridge, of INDIANA. has
introduced in The Senate, resolution
that the Philippine Islands
are the property of the United States.
Mr.. Bcveridge, who visited Manila
during the summer, will make a
speech on his resolution next Tues
day.
Senator Ross, Of VT, has introduced |
a bill providing that appointments to
civil offices in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam,
Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine
Islands shall be made irrespective of
the political affiliations of arpointees,
and that such appointees shall not be
from office except for in-
misconduct, inefficency,
or neglect of duty.

Washington Letter.
(From our own Correspondent

The Hanna-fayne ship subsidy bill,
which will soon be taken up in Con
gress, has been bitterly attacked by
the Democrats, who have charged
that it means the expenditure of
SI65.OOO, 900 for bounties in the next
thirty years. Even il this were SO,
the annual cost would be only $5,-
100000, about the same as that paid
by Great Britain for similar purposes
and very considerably less than
France cXpcMds. Germany and Japan
spend very nearly as much. There
is, however, 10 probability that the
bill will cost the United States half
of this sum. American ship builders
labor under many disadvantages Us
compared with other foreign builders.
It is not only the difference in Erst
cost, although this is about thirty per
cent more in America, owing to the
difference in the labor cost, but the
cost of operation aud the effect Of
competing bountics. The Seamcns'
ships, insists on wages, accommOda-
tions and food that cost in the aggre-
gate twenty per cent more than those
on English ships, which again are
more expensive than those of any
other nation. Add to all, this the
fact that, there are i'll the world, only
seven steamships of 1900 tons Or
over, outside OF the United States.
which do not receive a. bounty of
some sort Or other, and it becmes-
evident that, the probleEi, Of building
up asmerchant mariue is not So sim
pie as it used to be. The days when
ships can compete with the
world without government aid: are
over. If our coasting trade had not
secured TO us exclusively by the Con-
our flag would have long
since have disappeared from the seas.
In this connection it may be men
toned that it is the evident intention
of the Administration to hold that
the coasts of the island possessions of
the United States are the coasts of
the United States, in the meaning of
the Constitution and are therefore
reserved to American
ships. Representative Grosvenor, of
Ohio, who is understood to be in the
of the President, has re-

AT the meeting of the Board of
Regents of the State University in
Parkersburg this week Robert A.
Armstrong, professor of English, and
DR.. J. w. Hartigan, professor OF BIZ
ology, were removed from their posi-
tons. They were dismissed because
President Raymond was opposed to
them, and as there is no doubt that
they were opposed to him it was inev-
liable that they should go if the Re-
gents were to sustain the president.
Profs. Armstrong and Hartigan are
conceded to be among the ablest and
most popular of the University teach
ers. The fact that President Raymond
has succeeded in removing them indi-
Gates his power, and it is likely that
there will be other removals until the
president has the University reorgan-
lied quite to his liking.
We greatly doubt that the Univer-
sity is being benefited by the present
methods, and we fear that its last state
will be worse than the first.
