OUR DUTY TO THE FILIPINOS.

If Mr.. Bryan is elected president it
will follow, in all probability, that Don
Emilio Aguinaldo y Fami will be recog.
nized as the head of the independent

government which is to be established
according to Mr.. Bryan's plans. In
other words, Aguinaldo, who deliberate
ly declared war upon the United States
army and government in February,
1899, and who has ever since been the
central figure in the Philippines, inspir-
ed the people to make war on America,
will be the chief of nation under the
protection of the government which he
has just been fighting.
After waging conflict all this time
against our country, under Aguinaldo's
direction, that element of the Filipinos
which is making the trouble will insist
upon the continuance of him as their
commander in chief, and if they do not
secure such concession they will fight
just as persistently under Mr.. Bryan's
administration as they have under that
of Mr.. Mckinley.
In order to appreciate the difficulties
before a democratic president, if one is
elected, it is we'll to remember that
there is another large element of Fill
pinos who have maintained friendly
attitude toward US and who will make
most serious objection to the recogni-
tion of Aguinaldo and his associates. 1t
is even probable that the Moros in the
Sulu group and in Mindanao, the Visay-
ans in the central islands, and the Vicos
in southern Luzon, as we'll as some of
the tribes in the northern valley of the
Cagayan in Luzon, will object to a set
tlement where their interests are not as
carefully considered as those of the
Tagalogs. In consequence there will
arise most complicated situation,
which will bring far worse results than
the legitimate effort to establish our
rightful sovereignty acquired by treaty
with Spain.
We have already gone through the
most bitter experiences that we can
possibly have under our determination
to bring about peace and order and the
general acknowledgment by the Filipi-
nos of our sovereignty. The tendency
hereafter, if Mr.. Mckinley is reelected,
will be to improve. It cannot 60 the
other way. In fact there is every rea-
son to believe that if the present admin.
istration is continued there will be q
speedy end to all resistance to American
authority. The guerrilla warfare will
lose it's inspiration, and we shall be as

If Mr.. Bryan is elected president the

the anti imperialists have said and after
the rosy promises they have made, that
the Filipinos will experience rude
shock when they find that the realiza.

Bryan and the Army.
1t is no idle prophecy to predict that
Mr.. Bryan will require even larger
army and a greater expenditure of gov
ernment funds to carry out his plans
than Mr.. Mckinley will need to estab-
lish order, quiet and good government.
There are, moreover, all sorts of COM
plications that will arise in connection
with the interests of foreigners. De-
mands for indemnities will pour in
upon this independent Filipino govern.
ment, and on the United States govern.
ment as it's protector. There will arise
questions of authority as to which shall
decide upon these points-the Filipino
or the American officials. The imprac-
ticability of drawing clear line of de-
marcation between the responsibilities
Of an independent Filipino nation and
an American protectorate, such as Mr..
Bryan outlines, will face and harrass
him every moment after he takes his
seat in the white house. It is no exag.
ge1ation to say that Mr.. Bryan will run
the risk of international complications
that may lead to war which will cost
many times more in lives and money
than our present conflict in the Philip
pine islands, if he declares to the world
"hands off - while the Filipinos organ
ize an independent government under
this visionary protection of the United
States.
Here is situation that will almost
surely develop and cause trouble, not
only between the United States and
European government, but with the
Filipino government, if Mr.. Bryan car
ries out his intentions. If, for instance,
Germany or some other European coun-
try demands a large indemnity from
the Filipinos for injury to her interests,
now or in the future, and the latter re.
fuses to pay or grant the foreign de.
mands, whatever they may be, the for
eign nation will at once appeal to the
United States. If the United States
knowing that the demands are just,
tells the Filipinos that they must com.
ply, they may fatty refuse, and then it
will remain for either the United States
or the foreign power to compel them to
yield, and this may bring about war.
This is only one illustration of score
of misfortunes which are quite possible
under Mr.. Bryan's scheme of divided
responsibility. But if the United States
firmly establishes it's sovereignty, all
dealings will be with and through the
United States government, and all ques.

the purpose than small companies, part

They are as much factor of progress as
the steam engine, and, like it, they tenn
porarily throw few men out of employ
ment, but eventually they employ more
men than before, and at better wages,
while reducing the prices charged the

the last hundred years and the lowering
of prices to consumers are due to the
Increased production of labor caused by
inventions and better business methods.

ter business methods.
Some people, like Bryan, never see the
sunlight, but only the shadow cast by
it's obstruction. They see the disadvan-
tages attendant upon progress and none
of the benefits. They opposed the rail

medium of big corporations. They are
reactionary as we'll as ignorant and
either cannot or will not see the advan.
tages as we'll as the disadvantages. They
would destroy, not cure.
An Economic Question.
But while the big corporation is
necessary and inevitable, its power for
evil as we'll as for good has been grow
ing with it's size. How can we, without
interfering with it's efficiency, restrain
the evils? Must we wait for the slow
operation of natural laws to furnish the
remedy for extortionate prices which
may follow short sighted policy devoid
of human feeling? Must we rely upon
the breaking out of fresh competition
or the falling off of business which may
make even high prices unremunerative?
Must we wait till we can cultivate anew
a sense of human feeling in the stock
holders and officers Of corporations? Can
legislation avert the evils of unwise
corporate greed? If so, what shall the
legislation be and to what extent shall
it go? To condemn and exterminate all
corporations, or all large corporations, if
any line can be drawn, would be more
disastrous to US than any injury we may
suffer from abuse of their powers.
The problem is too vast too complex,
and too subtle for emotional empires.
1t cannot be solved by our consciences
uuaided and unenlightened. We need
to bring to it the open mind and the
scientific habit of thought. AS indicated
by the address of the gold democracy, it
is not political question, either in it's
origin or it's nature. Its solution calls
for the dispassionate consideration of

ATHENS GOLDEN AGE.
The Only Class OF Women That Then

The Only Class OF Women That Then
Enjoyed Freedom and Culture.
During the golden age Of Athens, when
the ashes of her illustrious lawgiver had
long been al rest in his native isle tfor
Scion was an Athenian but by adoption)
the daughters of the classic city enjoyed
more freedom than they had in earlier
days, says the Westminster Review.
Husbands when they went from home
often took their wives along with them,
but from a moral point of view it was not
always the best of society into which they
We're thus introduced. The house of the
celebrated Aspasia, the mistress of Perl
cleS, was a faVofsl3 resAt of even the
wisest and highest cultured of the citi-
zens of Athens. This remarkable woman
was noted, not only for her beauty, but
for her talents and for the elevation to
which she had attained in learning The
unfortunate class to which she belonged
was then the only class of women in
Athens that enjoyed freedom and culture
Whether from desire to heighten their
charms by means of knowledge of "di-
vine philosophy" or from genuine love
of learning, many of them frequented the
schools and the company of philosophers
and studied mathematics and other sci
ences
Their personal beauty often made them
SGuiD-
tors and the themes of hcentious poets
and, as We have already said, Aspasia
who was at their head, welded such a
powerful influence over even their best
and wisest men that they resorted to her
house as to lecture room, ACCOMPANIED
by their wives They evidently wished
the latter to profit by the learned and
brilliant conversation of the gifted cour-
tesan, who at least had taught them that
the life of ignorance and secIusion TO
which they doomed their women was that
which was least calculated to develop
their mental powers and render them con-
genial companions. The corrupt condi-
ton of society, however, may be inferred
from the fact that such women occupied a
prominent, almost a leading. position in
it. and indeed at this period, the golden
age of Grecian art and literature learn

nant in the eyes and light of Greece"

Gals have experienced much difficulty in
deciphering some of the messages re-

should be received and when received

since these incomplete dispatches have

intricate and known to but few; in fact,

and navy departments, respectively, who
are known as cipher code experts, and If
these men can't make out the intelligibil-

Hong Kong the dispatch is sent to Singa-

NEW YORK CHINESE ACT.
Do Not Want to Suffer for the Boxer
Troubles

NEW YORK, July administrations
of growing intolerance of the resident
Chinese have alarmed the merchants and
headmen of Chinatown, and today 4
proclamat ton was read in the streets,
signed by several prominent Chinese.
The matter has been under discussion
for several days, but the mistreatment
of Chinatown residents at points along
the Bowery on Saturday preeipitated the
matter The headmen estimate there are
1900 Chinese in New York and vicinity,
and say not one of them is from the
north of China, or even of the same tri-
bal races involved in the disturbance.
The proclamation (translated) reads:
Honorable Brothers of Canton and
Other Cities: There is now a trouble and
disturbance in the north of China, our

DISLIKE ANTI-HoBo LAW.
North Dakota Railroad Counties Not
Satisfied With Results.

FARGO, July ESPECIAL AT the last
session of the legislature a law was pass
ed known as the anti-hobo law, which
provides that any person arrested for en-
deavoring to beat mis- way on any train
or engine is guilty of misdemeanor and
punishable by fine of not less than $40
or more than 800, or Imprisonment not
less than ten days or more than ninety.
The law went into effect a year ago.
and since that time the several counties
through which railroads run have been
called on to pay out "a considerable
amount for the prosecution of tourists
who make a business during the sum
mer Of beating the railroads from one
town to another.
For the three months ending with June
80 the conviction and imprisonment of
men arrested under this new law has cost

several other counties in the state who
have secured large number of convtc-
tons under the law. 1t amounts to the

and will cost the state a snug sum each
year to carry out. 1t will be looked after
early in the next session without doubt.
