BEyERIDGE on THE FILiPINOS.

The new herald of Mckinley imper1-
-alism is a brilliant orator from Indiana.
He threw to the breeze his orifiamme,
and it evoked hurrahs from the NC
Kinley followers. 1t was pronounced
both true and splendid by the entnu-
siasts for land grabbing and people OPP
pressing and suppressing. We give a
few sentences Of his impressions while
visiting the Philippines and then say if
You hin they are the people needed TO
swell American citizenship and extend
the empire. He said:
They are a barbarouS race, modified
by three centuries OF contact with a de-
cadent race. The Filipino is the South
Sea Malay, put through a process or
three hundred years of superstition In
religion, dishonesty in dealing, disorder
in habits Of industry, and cruelty, ca
price. and corruption in government.
IT ia barely possible that 200 men in all
the a~rchipelago are capable OF self
government in the Anglo-Saxon sense"
He describes Aguinaldo in this graph

$500, 900 FOR ONE SPEECH.

Especial to The Baltimore Sum-
New York, January 14-The Herald
will publish the following dispatch
from Washington tomorrow: 1.-TWO
hundred thousand dollars is the neat
sum, it is understood, that has been
offered for a speech by President Nc
Kinley in Pittsburg, Pa.
In a conference with a delegation
representing the Americas Club Of
PittSburg, the president was given to
understand that his acceptance of the
clubs invitation to open his campaign
Pittsburg under the clubs auspices
would mean a difference of 5000, 900 to
the republican campaign fund. h
P1ttsburgers want the president to visit
their city on April 9th, the anniversary
of General Grants birth, and make a
speech which will be regarded as the
formal opening Of the campaign of 1900
for the republicans.
1.-The delegation talked with the pres
ident and several members of his cabi-
net, n found them rather inclined to
favor the acceptance of the invitation,
especially after the suggestion concern
ing 5000, 900, but nothing definite could
be determined Upon because of the alb
sence of Senator Hanna, to whom all
details of campaign management are
submitted. It is believed the invitation
will be accepted.
Among the stories told concerning
the visit of the committee is one which

1.-THE newspapers misrepresnt what he
says and seek to put him in a false light
as to all questions. Fair play is proper
in politics as in other things. In eX-
planning his position as to expansion,
he says in a most direct and clear way
that cannot be misunderstood by any
one of ordinary sense:
Il have for one year been discussing
imperialism and 1 have tried ito dis
ltinguish between such an extension OF
the nations limits as would not change
the character of the government and
an expansion which converts a homo
lgeneouS republic into a heterogeneous
empire. When the annexation of any
given territory is under consideration
1.-THE question is: First, whether the
people want to come in, and, second,
whether the people are capable OF
sharing i'm the government and deSti-
my Of this nation. I believe hat all
people are capable of covering them
selves, and that the FilipinoS should
be allowed to govern themselves, but
1 do not think that they are sufficient
lily advanced to share with us the gov
lernment of the nation"
We believe nine-tenths of the intelli-
gent democratic voters in the south
hold that precise view.

A special from Washington City to
the Raleigh Post, dated 18th, says that
all the democratic contestees will be
bounced, and of course the purpose is to
try to put radicals in their places. This
brings no surprise to us. The Messen-
ger more than once, and months ago,
said that the retention of their seats
by democrats would depend upon the
necessities of the republican party. We
remembered. that years ago they turned
out every democrat whose seat was
contested. One democrat from Mis-
souri,, was sent out although clearly
elected by Over 5000 majority. The rad
ical gang has not improved in decency,
honor and sense Of right with time. 1t
is the same old set without conscience
OF convictions of justice. Mr.. Craw-
ford'S case comes up this week. He
stands no chance. Rich Pearson stands
