WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
How the Admi N ration II Carryinr
ON the Sanguinary
Conquest.

Headquarters National Democratic
Committee, Chicago, 1900.
Mr.. McKinley's censor in the Philip
pines appears to be getting a little bit
careless about the private letters of
soldiers. In this way he is letting
something get through that ought to
hurt, if it does not hurt the administra-
tion.
For example, here is a letter from
Stephen +. Windsor, of company B,
Forty-fourth infantry. It was written
from Manila to friend at Quincy, Ill.
Among other interesting things he
says:
I'VE are capturing lots of Mauser
rifles, spears and bolos; and when we
capture the negroes, we line them up
and give them all the chance they want
to run away. When they start to run,
we don't do thing but shoot them.'
And this is Mckinley war.
Another soldier, member of Col.
Gardeners regiment, the Thirtieth,
contributes another pleasing chapter
to the inspiring history of benevolent
assimilation. After reciting that the
Filipinos "are getting gay and refus-
ing to pay taxes, as our forefathers
did in old times, he says:
"Our orders are to kill and shoot
everyone on sight, men, women or
children. Everything goes"
Is the censor asleep? Or does he

think that the American conscience
has become so indurated that nothing
can get through so atrocious, so cruel
and so barbarous that it will hurt
the administration"
For some time those well-informed
regarding the situation in the Phil
ippines have believed that the order
has already gone forth p. xlay and
spare none. That the Hekinley ad-
ministration, driven to desperation by
the gallant and patriotic resistance of
the Filipino people, have resolved upon
a campaign the ruthlessness of which
would have caused Hyder Ali in his
cruelest days to draw back in horror.
The foregoing gives simply one side
of the situation in the Philippines;
it tells of the perils and suffering that
must be borne by the Filipino people.
There is, however, another side of the
picture, fully as sad and horrible. For
If the Filipinos suffer, "our boys" suf-
fer, also.
Every mother and father should read
the following graphic and heartrending
statement, penned by, Rev. j. j. Nc
Laughin, who is stationed at Manila,
and writes only from personal observa-
ton and experiences:
I remember just what fine a8pL,
pearance he made on dress parade i'm
mediately after enlistment. How, with
his new uniform, shining buttons and
equipments, he stood erect, the moist
cynosure of the admiring eyes of moth
er, sister and sweetheart; but he was
in America; ''our boy" in the Philip
pines is different person.
Life in Manila centers largely around
the life of the soldier; and, as he lives,
so will he give the impetus to the So
cial and business life of the city. Amer
lean extravaganza is characteristic of
tour boy" here. He receives fairly good,
pay, yet cares but little about saving
any of it. He will secure whatever at
tracts his eye, no difference what the
cost. He runs into debt, SO that by.
the time payday comes around he has
often banked his allowance at two to
one. And many an indulgent and too
trusting Chinaman or native here has
appealed in vain for the accounts which
"our boy" has contracted. He lives as
fast as his means will allow, and if by
chance, on payday he can square his
accounts with small surplus he will
almost invariably snake a day of it, -
feasting at the best restaurants, at
tending the theaters, calling at the nu-
merous saloons, and oft times: ending
up with a night in the guardhouse.
@ Don't condemn the boy without a
hearing. Ny heart fairly oyerfiows
with sympathy for him. He has lost
his personality, certainly his ambition,
in the stern rigor and routine of army
discipline. He has not had any social
opportunities for months. He has not
had the privilege Of greeting an Amer
ican woman of refinement and culture
since he left home, and his heart fair.
IL yearns for societ =, CONF anionship.

either perishes victim of sin or re-
turns home defi.ed, polluted and de-

He is only seeking that which his

CLEVELAND NOT DRAWN OUT.
Former Presidents Recent COmmun.
ication Does Not Worry
Democrats,

A Kentucky admirer of Grover
Cleveland attempted to draw him out
on the subject of the present politi-
cal campaign. He did not proceed di-
rectly. He only asked the former
democratic president if he had
changed his financial views since the
publication of his letter on that SUBJ
ject to number of Chicago business
men written in 1895.
In reply to,the attempt to draw him
out Mr.. Cleveland said that his opin-
ions had not changed. He had not
seen the letter of 1895 since it was
published in that year, but on look
ing over it now he had no reason to
amend it in any way.
That is all there is of it in any
way. It is not political sensation
A great many men who four or five
years ago expressed views similar to
those of Mr.. Cleveland at the time
are as firm as he is in their old be-
liefs. They are honest money men
still. There are hundreds of this class
in Chicago. Their names appear on
the recent registration lists in every
ward.
This year they are supporting the
national democratic candidates. Their
principles have not changed. They
believe that the dangers to be appre-
hended through the reelection of Mr..
Mckinley are greater than any possible
danger which could come through the
election of Mr.. Bryan.
The fact is that ex-President Cleve-

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

We do not believe that the
American people can be bluffed, brow
beaten or bought; hence we look for
Bryan's election.-Albany Argus.
There is no living man who can
say who will influence Bryan if he
becomes president. Every living man
can tell you the name of the man
who has Influenced Mckinley the last
four years and would influence him
the next four.-Richmond Dispatch.
The republican campaign book
maintains that colonies are really
good things. This is taking a slap at
the men who thought differently some
years after they are no longer able
to defend in the public prints their
action in rebelling against England
Cedar Rapids Gazette.
-McKinley's policy at it's very
inception led to the quadrupling Of
the American army, and if it is con-
tinued no man can reasonably expect
ever to see the United States army
materially less than 100000 men. In
fact, an army of 100000 men is mere
ly the beginning.-Anaconda Stand
ard.
The farmers, like the rest of
the American public, must pay the
trusts royalty on every conceivable
thing that they have to buy for sus-
tenance, convenience and comfort.
Whether they will longer tolerate the
monstrous imposition without the
protest which the November election
will give them the opportunity to
make remains to be seen.-Buffalo

THE sULU QUESTION.
Secretary Meiklej0hn's Letter to
Bryan Evades the Real
Question,

"Acting Secretary of War Meiklejehn,
says a Washington dispatch, "has writ
ten to Mr.. Bryan" denying the truth of
the latter's statement that the Nc
Kinley administration has recognized
slavery in the Sulu islands. Mr.. Mike
john ''calls Br. Bryan's attention" the
dispatch goes on to say, ''to the fact
that the president approved Gen.
Bates agreement with the Sulu sui
tan with the understanding and reser-
vation that. this agreement was not to
be deemed in any way to authorize or
give the consent of the United States
to the existence of slavery in the Su1u
archipelago, a thing made impossible
by the thirteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States"
That is all very we'll, Secretary
Meiklejohn. But the sultan and dolos
of Sulu continue to hold their slaves
and keep their harems just the same.
And the United States authorities in
the Philippines-acting under the or
ders of President McKinley-have
made not the least attempt to interfere
with either of these practices. The
constitution declares that slavery
"shall not exist in any place subject
to the jurisdiction of q the United
States" It does exist in the Sulus in
direct violation Of the constitution, and
Secretary Meikleiohn well knows, too,
that President Mckinley, despite his
paper disapproval-which may or may
not have been communicated to the
polygamous s,,aye-driving sultan-has
made no attempt to suppress it. >.
