In his message President Mckinley
said he had every reason to believe"
that the cession of the Philippines to
the United States was in accordance
with the wishes and aspirations OF the
great mass of the Filipino people. But
what reasons had Mr.. Mckinley for be-
lieving this? He specifies none. And
certainly the burden OF proof is upon
him, for the only expression of the
Filipino people so far came through
the ENJOYS of the Filipino republic, and
those expressions were hostile to the
cession. The ENJOYS did all in their
power to bring them TO Mr.. McKinley's
attention, but without success. How
can he say that he had every" reason
to believe that the Filipino people ap-
proved the cession, when he refused TO
listen to the only expression of senti-
ment that any of the Filipino people
in an organized capacity ever attempt

We have opposed the forcible annex
alton OF the Philippines on two purely
material grounds-that we believe 1t to
be bad business and bad politics. Eth
ical grounds cut little figure In the last
decade of the Nineteenth century. We
have considered it bad business be-
cause 1t will cost many millions to re-
construct the islands. The cost of the
little war there will be but bagatelle
compared to the cost of the task which
follows the war. We have considered
it bad bolitics because we firmly be-
lieve that 1t will endanger the success
of the Republican party in the year
1900. The labor vote is lining up
against the Republican party. The
trades unions are declaring against
expansion.-San Francisco Argonaut

every decent citizen, they still retain
the favor unwilling but profitable, of

London, Oct. Cit is stated in financial
circles that the Red Boy mine near Baker
City, Ore, has been purchased by an Eng
gllsh syndicate as the result of visit to
London last year of one of the owners of
that property. Before the deal will be
closed they will have furnished the present
owners with about 100000 worth of ma
chinery and instructed them to sink the
mine another 1000 feet, for which the syn
dictate pays. After this work is done, if
the mine still holds out, and it is believed
it will, the balance of the purchase price
will be paid. This will be the first deep
work done in that mining district and is
considered very important in all mining
circles.

UNITED STATES TORRANCE
IT IS IN REPLY TO FRANCE
United states VIII Approve Nearly
All of the Several Proportions
But Not TO the Full Length-WiII
Not Declare Inhibition Against
the Import of Arms.

Washington, Oct. ll.--There is no
longer any doubt that the government
heartily approves the many propositions
laid down in the French note, made pub
lie on the 9th inst, in regard to com
mon program to be adopted by the pow
ers as basis for peace negotiations with
China.
As to the first of the proposed terms
of settlement. the punishment of the
principal culprits. this government has al
ready declared itself in unmistakable
terms.
As to the second, the maintenance OF
the inhibition against import of arms,
this government will not declare itself to
the point of making it an absolute pre-
requisite to further negotiations.
As to the third and fourth provisions,
providing for indemnities to states, So
cieties and individuals, and the forma-
ton OF permanent guard for the lega-
tons in Pekin. cordial consent will be
given.
As to the fifth. which requires the dis
mantlement of the Taku Notifications,
this government is not disposed to 90 quite
to the length of making it an indispen-
sable condition as does the French note.
The sixth Of the French conditions reads
as follows:
Military occupation of two or three
points on the road from Tientsin to Pc
kin. which would thus be always open
to the legations wishing to 90 TO sea or
forces proceeding to Pellin from the sea. y
This paragraph would seem to make it
obligatory upon the powers to maintain
garrisons at these points, and, while the
conditions are such as to make their occlI-
patton for the safety of the members of the
legations and others desiring to travel be-
tween Pekin and Tientsin, this government
is disposed to make the demand as a
matter of right to be exercised by any
or all of the powers at will. The formal
note embodying the views of this govern
ment substantially as outlined above is
in preparation, and probably will be
handed to Mr.. Thiebaut, the French charge
d'aflaiIes in Washington, within a day or
two.

Growth of the Different Viands In
wolves an Outlay of $50O,OOO,OOO
Recently man who Is fond of arith-
metic made up his mind that he would
find out how much dinner really cost
He first ascertained that the dinner he
was eating cost 20 cents, presumably
He cOntradicted this and then made
out the following statement about the
cost of that dinner.
The pepper he said, came from TO-
600 miles away. 1t grew on bush
eight feet high, which must have had
a growth Of at least five years. The
pepper was picked green; it had to be
dried in the sun, and this meant en-
ploying women. 1t took one ship and
1000 miles of railroad to bring the pep
per to the United States.
The -four of which the bread was
made came from Dakota; some Que
owned the land, and that meant the in
vesting of capital, and he had also to-
pay wages to Workingmcn. The -four
had to be ground, and the building Of
the mill and the plant, or machinery,
LlOiC LlOhtJ ut Hill
ers had to be paid, coopers had to be-
paid for making the barrels, and, OF
course, the wood of which the barrels
were made had to be cut and sawed
and shaped and this meant the en-
ployment of more men. Then the -four
had to be shipped over the railroad and
handled again by cartmen before it
came into the house.
The tea on the table came from China
and the coffee from South America. The
Goldfish had to be brought from Maine.
Men had to be employed to catch the
fish; other men and women were EN-
ployed in drying, packing and boxing
it, and It, too, had to make long rail-
road journey.
The salt came from the Indian reser-
walton in the northwestern part of
New York State The spices in the
cake came from the spice islands in the
Indian archipelago. The cannt peaches
came from California, and they, too,
represented the employment of capital
and labor. The little dinner represent
ed, directly or indirectly, the employ
ment of $500,000,0O0 of capital and D.
100000 men.-Memphis Commercial

Of wheat on the Dana place, near Cakes
