MACARTHUR REFUTES TAFT.
New York Worldly

The preliminary reports of the Phil
ippfne commission is another campaign
document 1t was invited by Secretary
Root on the order of the president, by
cable of Aug II. It is dated four days
later, and complies in the manner ex-
pected with the presidents direction 70
report Influences operating to pro-
long" the guerrilla warfare. Judge
Taft's commission was quick to re-
spond that if Mr. Mckinley is re-elect-
ed the ''insurrection will disappear
within sixty days"
The prophecy of approaching peace is
not new It was the burden of General
Otis reports of a year ago. The Taft
commission is merely following in the
footsteps of its predecessors, and none
of the assertions which are set forth
in this document, so often have they
been made and disproved, viii be ac-
cePted as true by the judieious.
1t is clear, for example, that there is
no truth in the statement of the report
that hOStilitieS are confined to the "ac-
tiVFty of small inSurgent bodies in
mountain Businesses, whence they issue
for usually harmless night attacks or
murderOuS ambush of small American
squads" The intent of the commission
in writing this is clear. It was to con-
vince the people of this country of the
truth of the assertion that the insurrec-
ton. is so nearly dead that ii requires
only the reelection of Mckinley to put
an end to it and cause the surrender of
the chiefs.
Unfortunately for the commission, its
error is exposed in the dispatches the
very day on which the administration
gave out the document for publication
and today From the dispatch of Cen
eral Macarthur it appears that the in
surreotlon, instead of being as describ-
ed by the commission, is energetic; that
a battle with 1000 insurgents. took place
sept 10; that there was such active and
stiff fighting on Sept Is that the
American force opposed to the Fill
pinOs lost 80 per cent. Fighting of sim
lar intensity is reported to have taker
place elsewhere
It is unnecessary to point out all OF
the mlsStatementS contained in the
document. The news of today com
pietely upsets it. But it is worth while
10 note, as indicating the anirnus O,
! the commission. that the report as.
serts that the islands are not only
1 beautiful and a rich market for canned
goods, but 'healthfuI"-and this in tht
face of all scientific and resident Festi
mony and of the fact that of the 2.13
troops who have died since Aug. 6. 1 81

/ OF loss by fevers and other tropica
maladies-

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
BY COL. TIMOTHY CEDE.


Politics in our county are getting
into a very warm condition, but the
political situation is so clouded that it
is difficult to forecast the outcome The
difficulty hinges principally upon the
failure to permanently locate the par
amount issue" A great deal has been
said on that subject, but not enough to
make it plain to the average voter. We
are inclined to think that an election
without a clearly defined paramount
issue" would be a distinct failure. 1t
is something that does not come into
a campaign more than once in four
years and the voters feel that it should
be treated with a great deal of eau
ton.
1t would appear that each. political
party should be allowed to name its
paramount issue" in order to break
even. So far as we have heard, the
Republicans are trying TO force a
paramount issue upon the Democrats
without having one of their own. AS
to what the Republicans viii adopt for
the Democrats, is not certain, because
the issue fiuctuates from time to time
and in different localities. If the Re
publicans could definitely decide
whether they would force the tissue"
on free silver" trusts" or imperial
ism ana stay Win ana Inen MAKE
up their minds that their own party
issue would be at all times and under
| all circumstances, the full dinner pail'
1 it would brush away much of the OBJ
security that is now befogging the mind
OF the intelligent voter.
The danger just now, to the political
situation, is that the paramount is
sue may be suddenly changed and the
whole political field thrown into confu-
! sion on the eve of the election. Any
one can see how embarrassing this
/ would be and how uncertain the result
| Unless we get more light on the sub
| ject, our county will not poll more than
| half its usual vote. For a voter &c
/ go to the polls and cast his vote with
| out some definite knowledge of the
| paramount issue" would he a disgrace
/ that would follow him all through life

! leans maintain a steadfast hold on the

This question is even more importan
than the selection of a rooster OF

It is hoped that the subject will b,
\ fully discussed before she election.
