upon Juan Fernandez every one of the principal landmarks dtscribed in the chapters of Robinson Crusoe.'
 Thus did San Fernandez become known. But in the years which have passed since Selkirk's release there have occurred events which would go much further in the construction of a
 narrowing tale than the story of the marooned sailing master. These occur red during the early days of Chilis in- dependence, and while she was strug- gling for her release from the Spanish yoke.
 At this time, Fernandez being a con- ceded portin of Chilis territory, the is- land was fortified and used as a penal colony. Overlooking the waters of Cumberland bay there at this time stood the fort called San Juan Bautista, With it's attendant settlement. Here was scattered a garrison which looked out for the several hundred prisoners who were sent to the island, And dur ing this occupancy Fernandez became an isle of horrors Fl Yunque's nights looked down upon the suffering of a lew hundred Wretches, who for the most part came to the island on their last journey, save the crossing of the Styx. Mostly prisoners of a political class Chill desired their death more than she did their confinement, and took this method of ending their ca reets as being more quiet than public or even private execution on the main land.
 Not alone were the poor wretches forced into confinement on Fernandez, but they were compelled to construct their own prisons. These were deep caVerns dug from the rocky mountain side close by the walls of Juan Bautis- ta In such miserable places of con finement existence became burden, and from these dreadful prison cav- erns there arose many prayer for the coming of that death which the unfort- unates knew to be the one relief from their sufferings. These horrors lasted Tor about twenty years, when either the necessity for condeming humans to a living death passed away from Chili or even the touch of Spanish blood which flows through the republic was impressed by the terrors of the prison caves on Juan Fernandez At least the island was abandoned as peal colony, but was again reoccupied in the same way during the early 30's.
 Again left to it's original condition, the island has until very recently been the home of handful of unfortunate Chilianos, who certainly failed to pos sess the means of leaving the desolate spot about which there hang so many tales of suffering and death.--Chicago

THE PITH OF POLITICS.
By ARTHUR P1LLsRrnyl

The San Francisco Examiner has come
to the rescue. In outer darkness it has
made great light to shine. If it has
not been transferred into a statue of
liberty enlightening the world, it has,
for the nonce, become a frey serpent
set up in the wilderness of the new
Democracy. The Examiner has found
out what Imperialism is. In President
NcKinley's letter of acceptance the Ex-
tminer has discovered concrete ex-
nnlple of imperialism, has attracted to
it the attention of o hitherto bewildered
public, and now all men see and know
what imperialism really is. More wind
has been pumped INTO the inane of i'm,
lerialism by Bryanite orators since the
Fourth of July last than was required
to destroy the city of Galveston. and
yet it was not until the 18th day of Sep

ted for statehood, that the bill OF rlgnIs
granted to them through William Nc
Kinley. through the imperial powers of
the presidential Office, and unasked, be
confirmed to them by congress; that
this great republic, patiently and with
fidelity and by virtue of its ample sover-
eignty, establishes schoolhouses, fosters
industry and, with unselfish devotion,
finally equips the Filipino people for
statehood, and then, because the Phil
ippines are so far away, and because it
would suit the Filipinos better, instead
of admitting them as states, grants
them their majority and bids them go
with parents blessing, would that be
q dangerous sort of Imperialism?
The Republican party has not COM
mitted itself against such policy. Our
great President, in his letter of accept
ance, says: 1T is our purpose to estab-
lish in the Philippines government
suitable to the wants and conditions Of
the inhabitants and to prepare them for
self government, and to g them self
government when they are ready for it
and as rapidly as they are ready for it,
Is not this wiser than to give them
self government without preparing
them for lf-government and before
they are ready for self-government.
When that readiness for self govern
ment can be attained is not now know
able, and to make promises in advance
of knowledge of when such promises
can be fulfilled is unwise and likely to
prove a prolific source of misunder-
standing hereafter.

No. 8.
The Acquisition of the Philippine Islands
and What Is to Be Done
With Them.

With the acquisition of the Philippine
islands there came an inspiration in the
shape of a new national motive. AL
ways Heretofore Except in the case of
the annexation of Texas and the con-
quest of California, when an extension
of human slavery was an incentive) the
sole motive prompting each expansion
of the national domain had been the ma
tional welfare. We acquired each terri
tory Just as prudent man would ac-
uuire new farm-for his own good
and not to oblige some one else.
But in the annexation of the Philip
pines the nation assumed a great and
honorable obligation. We interfered
with Spanish policy on behalf of Cuba,
but what Cuba had suffered at the
hands of Spanish oppression and corrup-
ton the Philippines had also suffered.
Cuba was near, the Philippines were
far-that was the only essential differ
ence-and the sympathies of the Great
Republic were broad enough to reach to
the farther side of the Pacific ocean.
The political party which, genera
ton ago, struck the shackles of slavery
from four million American negroes has
not only freed from outrageous oppres-
sion million and half of Cubans and
a million Porto Ricans, but it has
stretched its mighty arms across the
sea and liberated ten million lowly peo-
pie and set them forth to meet an ad-
yancing civilization.
The national obligation assumed was
not alone to the Filipino people, but to
people of other nationalities resident
and having interests among them. II

new markets., to acquire and hold
strategic points of vantage, to open the
way for American capital and Ameri-
can enterprise and bring to bear upon
lowly and stagnant peoples an Ameri-
can inspiration for American needs
that markets may be developed for Ann
erican products?
1t is not the spirit of commercial
greed, but of commercial enterprise
that prompts nation to make available
for its own people every coigne of want
age that comes within reach and likely
to prove helpful in that world competi-
ton from which there is no escape ex-
cept in oblivion. The life of that ma
tion which does not look out for its own
people will prove brief and inglorious.
Despite the hue-and-cry which the
Bryan partisans are making in bogy
campaign there is little difference in de-
clared policy between the great parties
as to the Philippine question.
Mr.. Mckinley negotiated the treaty
which resulted In their acquisition.
Mr.. Bryan procured the ratification Of
that treaty
The Republican platform declares for
the establishment of stable govern.
ment in the Philippines. The Bryan
platform echoes that demand.
The Republican platform declares
that there shall be accorded to the
Filipinos, 1.-THE largest measure of self
government consistent with their well
fare and our duties" Mr.. Bryan's
platform comedies this but demands
that we no,o declare for their ultimate
independence and protection from out
s:Saa interferenca.
AS to the concluding uecIaratlons OF
Organism the Republican party insists
that we cross those bridges when we
get to them.

Jnnig at this Stage OF pubic knowledge
of the Philippines and the capabilities
of the Filipinos for elf-government to
announce an ultimate policy regarding
them.
AS to standing between them and the
outside world, the Republican position
is that where responsibility rests there
must sovereignty abide. When the
Philippines become independent they
must assume responsibility to the
world. AS long as the United States
must stand responsible to the world for
them it must hold sovereignty over
them.
This is common sense, not criminal
aggression.
Finally, the Republican contention
ia that the United States, being a ma
ton with all the sovereign powers of a
national existence, can do what it ought
to do and will not plead a constitutional
incapacity for doing what needs to be
done in order to fully discharge it's
solemn duties to the Filipino people as
whole, to other people resident or in
terested there, to the other nations of
the earth and to its own citizens and
their industrial and commercial inter:
ests.
On that platform the Republican
party takes it's stand before the people
and the nations.
A government for the Philippines is
now being established under the execu-
tive power Of the president, as jefferson
established government for Louisiana
and Monroe for Florida.
When peace has thus been restored
and congress has become fully advised
as to the facts, territorial forms of goY.,
ernment will be established in the ISL
ands giving larger measure of self-goY=
ernment,
Finally, after the American school
house has done its work, doubtless a
more responsible and altogether self
governing form of government will be
accorded the Filipinos. Then, if they
want it, Independence, but if this con-
summation be reached in the course
of two generations it will be quicker
done than prudent statesmen now deem
probable.

is uedniteiy known that but Tor AmeEi-
can interference in the Philippine isl
lands at the conclusion of the war with
Spain series of atrocities similar to
what have recently taken place in
China would have taken place at Ma
nila resulting in foreible interference on
the part of other nations and the sub
jugation and parcelling out of the
Philippine islands, piecemeal, among
the nations of Europe. Thanks to Am
erican energy the foreign residents in
the Philippines have been protected,
order has been established, the integrity
of the Philippine group of islands has
been maintained and the Filipino peo.

international law requires that who
go destroys a government must estab-
lish another in its place. We had de.
stroyed the Spanish government in the
Philippines because we had destroyed
the instrumentality whereby that gov
ernment maintained itself-the Spanish
navy. Our nation could not refuse or
neglect compliance with this law except
at the sacrifice of honor and prestige
among the nations of the earth, and of
being set down as a marplot and med
dler, an ignominy to which no patriotic
American would willingly submit.
While our national obligations to the
Filipino people, to other peoples resi-
dent in the Philippine islands and to
the civilized world in the light of in-
ternational law were the paramount and
all compelling motives which prompted
the Republican administration to &C.
quire the Philippine islands, that ad.
ministration was not unmindful of the
great industrial and commercial ad-
yantages likely to accrue to the nation
by reason of such acquisitions.
Such material advantages would not
have proven sufficient of themselves
for, if we had been at peace with Spain
and she had offered to sell US the Phil
ippines it is not at all likely that we
would have bought them. An inde-
pendent harbor for naval or coaling
station we might have purchased but
not more.
Nevertheless, great commercial and
industrial advantages are certain to ac-
crue from our possession of the Philip.
pines. Their resources are tremendous,
their possibilities boundless, their neces:
Bities for an awakened industriahsm inn
perative and the field of American in-
Vestment and enterprise will be well

The Philippines are at the thresh-
old of Asia and as Asia is to be the the
hatre of world development during the
coming century their possession by the
United States will prove great ma
tional advantage in q world competi-
ton for Asiatic trade.
And is it, as Mr.. Bryan pretends that
he would have US believe, an ignoble
thing to seek to seize great, national
advantage in the field of commerce.
There are $4,000, 900 wage earners in the
United States. With our incompara.
