WINSTON CHURCHILL EXPLAINS THE

superintendent From Situn-
ton at wepener.

LONDON. April 16.-Winston Churchill,
telegraphing to the Morning Post from
BIoemfontein. under Saturdays date, re-
iteratcs his opinion that the war is bound
to prove extremely expensive business. He
says:
Two hundred and fifty thousand men
will he needed before the end is attained.
The question Of remOunts will continue
one of vital Importance. Great numbers
are now arriving, but, owing to the fact
that they have to be put to work before
time is given them to recover from the
effects of the voyage, their condition IS
low and the death rate among them high.
Thousands therefore, will be wanted in
addition to those here or on the way. and
great resting depO;s must be formed, to-
gether with an ample staff to nurse and
exercise them II that is done, then, about
four five months hence. you will be able
to give your cavalry u new lease of life
and strength.
The fact that the censors allowed Wins
tor Churchil's dispatch the subject of
remounts to pass speaks volumes for the
condition of that question. and concerning
the prospect of an immediate advance to-
ward Pretoria The utmost Lord Roberts
will be able to do for some time to come
will be in the direction of clearing the
Beers from the southern part of the Free
State.

WOLCOTT ANDTHE PHILIPPINES

Senator Wolcotts reply to Senator
Pettigrew on the Philippine question
was a scathing and timely rebuke to
the gentleman from South Dakota and
his fellow American TagaloS, who are
banging away with their blunder-
busses at the administration, notwith-
standing, as Senator WOlcOtt says,
there is mot an honest Democrat who
did not admit that if his party were in
power the first thing to be done would
be to crush the insurrection."
The Colorado senator said: "Scat-
tered through every community there
we're the discontented and unhappy
people who had not been successful
and who viewed with suspicion and
hatred all those whose lives had been
crowned with success, who behind ev-
cry good action looked for a lurking,
sinister purpose" The people are fit
tingly represented in the United States
Senate by such a man as Pettigrew,
for during all the years have known
him." stated Senator Wolcott, Il never
knew him to say a kind or friendly
word about a single person or a single
cause"
Senator WOlcott warmly defended
the position of the President, who has
taken no step that did not reflect
honor upon the people of the United
States" He read from the Presidents
message the extract about the duty of
the government after the insurrection
was over. to spare mo effort to build

Froth

The earnest efforts made by the Pres
ident and his Cabinet to get action out
of Congress for the establishment of a
government in Puerto Rico is suft1-
cient answer to the outcry made by
Oliver Belmont in a December maga-
zine in which he accused the admin
istration of plot to prevent any dis
position of Puerto Rico at the present
session of Congress.
According to the Popocratic theory,
Mckinley desires to be a dictator in
our new possessions and Belmont even
suggested that Congress would be in
vited to append a new title to the
President. He would be hereafter
styled President of the United States
and Emperor Of the Philippines and
Puerto Rico" The amount of cheap
froth that has been emitted from the
jaws of the traducers of the admins
tration since the adjournment Of the
last Congress in connection with its al
legged imperialism" is incalculable.-

and churches" ito foster trade ana
industry" and concluding with ths
words that it was their liberty, not
our power, which we are seeking to
enhance"
In speaking of the attitude Of the
United States toward the Philippines,
Senator Wolcott maintained that we
took the islands mot as a conquest, but
as one of the highest duties we owed
the human race" He upheld the re-
tention of the Philippines upon the
high grounds of humanity and not be-
cause of their value to us in dollars
and cents.
His address, while not a studied
speech, was a notable one, as all of
Senator Wolcott's utterances are. He
showed that the United States govern
ment owes it to itself and to the ma
tives that it establish peace and good
government in the islands, and that
our first duty, in carrying out such a
policy, is to quell the insurrect.on.-

This is as it should be. The nation

however might profitably turn its at
tention to other evils more serious
than polygamy. Wholesale bribery,
the plundering of the people for the
benefit of the rich by INSCRIPTIONS

tion of a popular government. Yet
the House is silent on this evil. An

Copperheads of To-day.

The copperheads will be little slow
about putting themselves in the way of
getting another drubbing like the one
they got on the Pettigrew proposition.
In fact, the copperheads are about as
feeble to-day as they were in 1861 60.
They are feebler. indeed, than they
were at one time during that period.
They carried several northern states
in 1862 and 1868, and ran the Demo
cratic national convention in 1864,
They failed TO run the country then,
however, and they will fail now.-St
