 fciency in the art of self-goyernment, but it is a reflection upon the Greater to say that He denied to any people the capacity of self-government Once admit that some reople are capable of self-government, and that others are not, and that the capable people have a right to seize upon and gov ern the incapable, and you make force brute force-the only foundation of govern ment and invite the reign of the despot. I am unwilling to believe in that reign or the despot. I am not willing to believe that an aII-wise and an all-lovinS God created the Fflipinos, and then left them tnous- ands of years helpless until the islands ottracted the attention of European na- tionS.
 Renublicans ask: Shall we haul down the flag that floats over our dead ln the Philippines?' The same question might >bave been asked when the American nag foated over Chapultepec and waved over the dead who fell there: but the tourist who visits the City of Mexico finds there a national cemetery owned by the united States and cared for by an American citi- zen. Our flag still floats over our dead, but when the treaty with Mexico was sign ed, American authority withdrew to the Rio Grande, and I venture the opinion that during the last fifty years the people of Mexico have made more progress under the stimulus of independence and self government than they would have made under a carpet-bag government held in place by bayonets. The United States and Mexico are friendly republics. are each stronger and happier than they would have been had the former been cursed and the latter crushed by an imperialistic policy, disguised as "benevolent assimilation"
 .'Can we not govern colonies| we are asked The question Is not what we can do. but what we ought to do. This nation can do whatever it desires to do. but 1t must accept responsibility for what it does. If the Constitution stands in the way, the people can amend the Constitution. I re- peat, the nation can do whatever it de- sires to do, but it cannot avoid the natural and legitimate results of its own condnct. The young man upon reaching his najori- ty can do what he pleases. He can disre gard the teachings of his parents; he can trample upon all that he has been taught to consider sacred; he can disobey the laws of the State, the laws of society and the laws of God.

Murphy tom pany's stock Letter

New York, Aug. S-The stock market opened dull and featureless. The lower range of prices reported in the London market was reflected here in fractional de- clnes upon the opening of business al- though the actual operations for foreign account were in considerable volume. Ap- parently the mornings news from China was without any effect in the dealings and aside from that there was little or noth- ing of any account bearing upon the gen eral market or particular stocks. There were few exceptions to the sagginS ten dency of the market, although T. c. l. and C. r. l. were comparatively steady. Sugar was fairly active, and was again heavy. The Industrial quarters otherwise was ne- gIected The active features of the rail- way list were Union Pacific, Northern Pa cifc the Reading issues and Atchsons. The local traction group was neglected with the exception of Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which moved in line with the gen. eral market.

COTTON MARKET %
 TAKES ON LIFE It Was a Day of Irregularity and
 Excitement. BEARS WERE CLOSED OUT The Basis of the Change Was Degree of Confidence in the Crop Ac- counts-Net Advance at Close

New York, August S.-The cotton market showed considerable irregularity and ex- citement all day and was pecuation heavy. The opening call was favorably influenced by local. Southern and foreign buying orders, which caused an advance of l to points,
 Speculative interest on the bull side was not satisfactory, however and the local bear raid soon disposed of the early im- provement. Later urgent foreign and Southern demand made it's appearance and values soon worked their way up to 0 level 10 to 15 points above the closing of the previous days figures. A rather firm CT general sentiment became apparent.
 The basis of the change was degree of confidence in the crop accounts. The bull contingent also had the advantage of small new crop receipts. At all points they fell below the recent full average. During the afternoon the feature of the trading was furnished by the shorts who lost no op- portunity to cover. There was no rush of new speculative buying, however, some of the traders here, passing their views on private cables predicted a bullish Liver pool opening tomorrow following a recon Sideration of yesterdays weekly crop re- port from Washington. The government report, due next Friday, was also feared and as the market has thus sustained a considerable decline, conservative shorts preferred to place themselves in a position for an unprejudieed view of the situation upon the appearance of the bureau report tor August, ore of the most important statements of the season.

 New Orleans, Aug. S.-ln keeping with the American advance of yesterday and the un- favorable tone of the weekly bureau re- port, foreign markets were higher today Liverpool futures advanced 10 points for the current month and TOT for later ar rivals. With the exception of Texas wealth er conditions were somewhat more favor able and in view of this New Orleans, after opening 2@5 points higher than last night, sold off about 5@9 points. Newe from the interior being of a bullish nature, worms reported in counties of Mississippi, Louis- jana and in Texas together with hot wind scare from Arkansas, caused further cover- ing by shorts, and buyers becoming more numerous than sellers, market quickly as- cended under the influence of light offer ings, and with but occasional relapse, maintained the major part of the advance at the best figures of the day. The strength that is displayed by the August option is due to the slow movement of new bales to the out ports.
