SENATOR CAEEERYS
SPEECH

Senator Gallery made .charac-
teristic speech in the United States
Senate last Monday. AS is we'll
known Senator Caffery Is opposed
to the expansion policy of the Re-
publican administrations. On this,
az ON all other questions, the posi-
ton of Louisiana's senior senator is
courageous and unmistaka BILE. He
IS ou:spoken in his views which he
expresses in Language tnat is free
from equivocation or ambiguity.
Mr.. Caffery argued that the consG-
tuition guaranteed certain rights and
privileges to slI the citizens of this
country and that if the Fiiipinos are
citizens Of this Republic they are
entitled to enjoy those rights and
privileges, but. exclaimed the sena-
tor, "the very moment we take the
FiliPinos we have injected into our
system a poison that will inoculatr
our whole body polite" In few
words the senator has clearly stated
the case. He is one of those WAC
believe that if the constitution means
anything it is that every American
citizen must be free and that no
people an be forcibly annexed to
this country. In answer to ques-
ton Of Senator Plat, of Connect
cut, Mr.. Caffery said, "Turn them
(the Filipinos) loose as soon as we
can get rid of them. That would
be better for them and infinitely
better for u.s."
Senator Caffery has evidently not
been allured by the glittering prom
1ses Of the imperialsts. He still
believes in the Democracy of the
fathers who made the constitution
and founded this government for a
people who were able to govern
the mselves. Had they iesisiated
for Filipinos instead of Americans
tie constitution would no doubt
have been a different instrument.

THE KENTUCKY DEMO-
CR4 rs.

The admirable behavior of the
Democrats has prevented civil war
in the State of Kentucky. The
Democratic leaders counseled peace
At all times during the controversy.
The gallant Goebel, whose death
was the result OF Taylor's outra-
geous methods, advised his friends
to keep within legal bounds and not
to commit acts of violence under
any clrcumstances. In striking
contrast to the wise and consefva-
tive course of the Democratic man
ayers was the infamous usurpation
of Taylor aud his friends, who
cared not for the peace Of the
commonwealth. Their policy was
one of s.rule or ruin" With the
aid of partisan and servile mill
tary they vainly attempted to init
midate the legislative and judicial
branches of the State government.
They caused a band of desperate
mOuntaineers to go to Frankfort,
the capital, to terrorize the good
people of that city and to assist
Taylor to override the constitution
of the State. Taylor and the other
Republican leaders may not have
participated IN the cowardly assas-
sination of Gov. Goebel, but who
is stupid enough not to know that
the dastardly killing of the Demo
cratic leader was the Legitimate re
suit of the methods employed by
the Republicans to defy the constr
tutional authority of the State.
1t is to the everlasting credit of
the Kentucky Democrats that a
carnival Of blood was avcrted.
They relied on the law aud the
sohered verdict of the public con-
science for justice. They knew the
awful consequences which would
follow in the wake of civil strife.
They preferred to submit for time
to radical oppression SO that per-
.manent peace and good order might
come to their State without the
shedding of human blood.
The Democracy of Kentucky has
not only won the admiration of
good people everywhere but it has
taught-a wholesome lesson to those
who would disregard the law and
rule by violence. -----,

DEMOCRACY FOR EXP4 "
SION.

The Democratic party is not OPP
posed to expansion. It advocated
expansion in the past and it Is not
opposed to expansion now. But it
wants the country to expand i'll the
right direction. When Louisiana and
Texas were annexed it was not only
territorial enlargement but it was
an expansion of Republican institu-
tons as well. The people who in
habited Louisiana and Texas were
not semi civilized tribes such as are
found in the Filippines. And the
territory annexed was contiguous
to the United States, whereas the
islands in the Filipino group are
thousands of miles away.
The expansionists make the disin
genuous plea that Jefferson, the
founder of the Democratic party,
was an expansionist. So he was,
but he was not the same kind of an
expansionist that Mckinley is.
No word of that great man shows
that he was in favor of going to
Asia for territory and of making
American citizens of some ten mill
lions of people who have not yet
become sufficiently civilized to wear
clothes.
In his speech delivered in Con-
gress last Monday, Champ Clark,
the brilliant Missouri Democrat,
said that he was not opposed to ex-
pansion, but that he was in favor of
taking every foot of the British
possessions in North America.
The Democrats are not opposed
to the right kind of expansion, but
they want to preserve republican
form of government which is i'm
measurably more precious to them
than all the riches in the Filippines
which were SO alluringly described
by Mr.. Beverage, of Indiana. In
the words Of Champ Clark, Demo
Gratis sthink more-far more--of the
liberties of their children than of
al she trade of all the earth.

The commissioner of pensions
who is in position to make a
pretty accurate estimate, thinks
that the pension bill introduced by
Senator Cullom, which provides
for the payment of pensions to any
person who served sixty days in the
war for the Union, would add about
$40. 900, 900 to the present amount
of annual disbursement for ten or
fifteen years to come. Under the
provisions of the bill these soldiers
would annually receive about 81 fe..:
each day Of their service, and would
fare much better than many veter-
ans who were in the war from start
to finish, and who really endured
its ENTHUSIASTICALLY States.
