The large number of suicides report
ed among the American soldiers in the
Philippines Is evidence that the task
undertaken by the imperialistic Mr.
Mckinley Is anything but pleasant to
those who must do the numbering and
pillaging necessary to subdue the lib
erty loving Filipinos. AS many as
three suicides have been reported in
a single week, and it is said that nearly
500 have gone insane. Those who are
responsible for the war in the Philip
pines, those who agreed to pay Spain
800, 900, 900 for the privilege Of complet-
ing the butchery and destruction she
had begun, are the fellows who should
be compelled to shoulder arms and
expose their we'll fed bodies in the
swamps of Luzon. If Mckinley and
his coterie of imperialists who declare
that they and God are doing noble
work were called upon to chase Fill
pinos or be chased by Filipinos, the
war would come to a close instanter.
II the time ever comes when men will
stand on their rights and refuse to be-
come tools to shoot down their fellows
at the command of some so-called supe-
rior, war will forever cease, for the
men who make wars and profit by
them never fight its battles.

The Quay case drags its weary way
through the senate, and will be si'"-
tracked IL excuses enough can
framed for postponing 1t from time 70
time until the end of the session. There
are too many senator's who lack the
moral courage to vote as their judg-
ment, their conscience, their constit-
uents and their constitution dictate, If
It come to point where they must de-
clare either for Quayism or against It,
They dislike to stultify themselves II
they can avoid it, and hence would like
to see the case go over without being
compelled to take a stand to upset the
precedents of a century. There are
some Democrats who, acting on the
principle that birds OF feather are
expected to flock together, will vote
to seat Quay, corrupt as he is known to
be. Several are suspected of having
come under the influence Of that potent
argument on which Quay has always
depended to help him out OF his diff
culties, criminal and otherwise. 1t Is
refreshing to find senator who looks
at matters from a sensible standpoint
and proposes to stand by his ideas Of
right Senator Teller declares 1t Is in
decent to vote one day to deny a man
a seat and the next give admission to
another on the same credentials. He
thinks that after all the precedents of
q century on this question 1t ought to
be regarded as settled. What respect,
he asks, can the country have for a
body that has no respect for itself?

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Republican National COnven-
ton.

Some eight hundred delegates to the
National Convention, as many more al
ternates and thousands Of spectators and
politicians assembled in Philadelphia
last week and this, for the purpose OF
nominating Republican National tick
ct.
President McKinley's nomination was
unanimously conceded, and therefore
the sole talk and scheming was regard
ing the Vice Presidency.
There were several candidates for the
nomination for Vice President, neither
Mckinley or Hanna would give the
slightest intimation as to who they pre-
ferred, and Messrs Platt of New York
and Quay of Pennsylvania set about to
force the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt
of New York, against his will and
wishes.
Roosevelt is prospective candidate
for President four years hence, and he
feared to offend the big state bosses, but
gave out the following statement
In view Of the revival of the talk of
myself as vice presidential candidate,
| have this to say: 1t is impossible too
deeply TO express how touched | am by
the attitude. of those delegates who have
wished ME to take this nomination.
Moreover, it is not Necessary TO say how
thoroughly / understand the high honor
and dignity Of the Office, an Office so
high and so honorable that it is well
worthy the ambition of any man in the
United States. But while | appreciate
all this to the full I nevertheless feel
most deeply that the field of my best
usefulness to the public and to the party
is in New York State, and if the party
should see fit to renominate me for gov
ernor / can in that position help the ma
tional ticket as in no other way. / very
earnestly ask that every friend of mine
in the convention respect my wish and
Judgment in this matter.
But still the Williams pursued him.
Tuesday noon, four acres of human
ity, estimated to number sixteen thous-
and came to order and silence when
chairman Hanna raped for order in
the big convention-hall in West Phila-
delphia. The Convention was opened
with prayer and then Senator Hanna
greeted and welcomed the delegates in
a short speech, and introduced Senator
Walcott of Colorado as Temporary
Chairman, who made long speech on
the issues Of the day. Gov. Roosevelt
came in and received an ovation, ex-
Gov. Taylor of Kentucky also received
an ovation, the roll was called, the com
mittees were appointed; Rev. Levy, who
was chaplain of the first Republican
Convention held in Philadelphia, forty
four years ago. led in prayer and then
the Convention adjourned till next day.
Yesterday the Convention met at
noon. the reports of the committees on
credentials and resolutions were receiv-
cd and accepted; Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts, was made Permanent
Chairman and Chas M. johnson of Min
nesota, Sec'y, and the Convention ad-
iourned till 10 m. today. Roosevelt
was quoted as saying that he would not
refuse the nomination il it came from
the West.
The platform booms Mckinley, pros
perity, gold-standard. protection and
reciprocity; talks of the Spanish war
and its sequences favors canal across
the isthmus. the peace conference at
Hague the government of the islands,
