The Philippine War.

The fact that news of bloody fight
on the island of Samar was not sent to
Washington until long after reports of
it, coming in round about way, had
been published in the newspapers, and
a request was made by the government
upon Gen. Macarthur for report. sug-
gests a desire upon the part of our gen
erals in the Philippines to suppress
news that is not good. 1t also raises a
question in the minds of Americans as
to what is really going on in the islands.
Do we know or do we not? Have we
been told, or has the truth been con-
cealed from us? With 1900 American
soldiers in the islands, and the war
practically ended how does it happen
that small garrisons of our soldiers are
surrounded by ten times their own
number of enemies, and beseiged for
days without relief, until nearly all of
them are slain? And how does it hap
pen that our generals in Central
Luzon, not seventy five miles from
Manila are calling upon Macarthur for
achievements These certain facts
do not dovetail with the claim that the
war is ended, but tend rather to show
that it is in full blast. What are those
sc, 900 American soldiers doing? Where
are they? Are they scattered through
the islands in little garrisons like the
one recently annihilated in Samar!
Is this true when we hold only small
patches of territory here and there
throughout those numerous islands!
Where are the $4,000 additional troops
to come from that will be needed if this
is the case? These are questions that
American people who, against their
wishes, are paying the war tax ought
to be told something about. Let us have
the facts, hit whom it viii. The United
States is of more account than any pol.
itical party.

A meeting of the property owners
along Grand Avenue was held in Muen-
chows hall on Wednesday evening, at
which time differences were comprom-
Used and it was agreed TO ask the city
council to leave forty-foot roadway,
but to macadamize only twenty feet in
its centre. But the petition goes fur

of the avenue; it asks that Forest street,
from Third street to the avenue, be
paved in like manner and that the
whole macadamized portion extend
down as far as the Northwestern rail
road bridge. The matter viii be dis

next Friday evening, at which time it is
hoped that something favorable may be
secured toward the realization of the

pave that portion lying below that put

The Liederkranz society serenaded
its leader, Gustave Mueller, on Sunday
evening, at his home on Grand Avenue,
the occasion being his birthday. The
society gathered under one of the win
dows ut the home and sang several Sc
lections, the sweet strains of music
charming all those who listened within
radius of several blocks. A large
gathering of people filed the sidewalks
west of Mr.. Mueller's home, and after
each selection the singers were heartily
applauded At the close of the serenade
the society was invited into the house,
where several hours of social chat and
musical flow of soul were enjoyed. For
several years past the society has thus
celebrated its leaders birthday, and the
occasion is always one of great enjoy
ment and social helpfulness to all.

Protection VS.. Favordt1sm.

The Appleton Post, in commenting
upon recent article in this paper, emit
tied, Protection VS.. Fayoritism,
exhibits surprise that democratic
paper should be in favor of protection,
by the tariff. The Post says also that it
understands the democratic idea is a
tariff for revenue only, and to levy that
upon things that are not produced in
the United States. The democratic
idea is a tariff for revenue only, and the
PLoT article above referred to express
ly so states. As to what portion of the
tariff should be levied upon articles or
country, and as to how the tariff should
be laid upon different things, there
have been as many views among con-
gresham and senators, democratic and
republican, as there have been of local
tiles whose interests differ Neither
party has had or could have any settled
policy as to that. The question whether
the tariff should be so laid in any case
as to exclude foreign competition is
another question. That the present
tariff does this is matter of current
history, and republicans do not deny
it. As to the idea of a tariff for revenue
only, although in past times, and nota-
bly, during the Tilden- Hayes campaign
the republican papers made a great ado
about it, no one can reflect seriously a
moment without deciding that tariff
which produces more than is needed
for the support of the government must
be fruitful cause of jobbery and cor
rlption, and the experience of this ma
ton shows that to have been the case
The first "billion dollar congress- was
the result of surplus caused by a
tariff that produced more than was
needed for revenue. And the first bill
lion dollar congress- so great a sur
prise in its day, has since been followed
by so many others that the American
people have come to look upon billion
of government expenditure as frugal.
A tariff for revenue only, and that such
tariff shall be so laid as to protect
American industries, is the popular
doctrine among democrats. 1t is not,
of course, the unanimous doctrine
Neither has the republican policy been
unopposed by members of that party.
The parties have not always stood as
they do now upon this tariff question.
But it has been great many years now
since the republicans gave the so-called
protective" idea first place, and the
democrats gave the revenue" idea first
place. 1t is not difficult to discern the
difference between these positions. The
republican idea has led to favoritism
which produced the trusts. The demo-
cratic idea carried out would furnish
fair protection without favoritism, and
enough revenue to support economical
administration.

The Warden of States Prison, who
lives at Waupun, created a sensation on
Memorial Day by hosting British flag
at his residence. A delegation from
the G. A. r. made a request that he
take the same down, this he refused to-.
Later, hundreds of people congregated
about the residence and he was COM
PEELED to pull down the colors.

Killed and Wounded.

At last, and reluctantly in response
to demand by the Senate, the Secre-
tary of War has furnished the people of
the United States statement of the
losses of our army in killed and wound
ed in the Philippines up to May cath,
1900. 1t is:
Killed, died Of wounds and disease,
a officers and LIZA men.
Wounded, l2S officers, 1886 men.
Total loss, officers and men, 3,S15.
This is the appalling cost of imperial
ism, in human life, up to date. And
Americans returning from the islands
say the war has only fairly begun.
267 GARRIsoNs.
A side light is thrown upon the opera
tons in the Philippines by the follow
ing news dispatch dated Manila, May
1st, and Published in the daily news
papers, thirty-two days later,-name-
ly, June I'd, having come by mail. The
dispatch came to the Associated Press
from one of its correspondents at
Manila, and says:
Manila, P. L., May / Correspond
ence of the Associated Press. The last
two weeks have seen a general spread
of rebel activity throughout Luzon
and even into the other islands which
have been Offset by immediate retalia-
ton. The rebels have attacked by day
and by night several of the garrisoned
towns.
267 garrisoped towns And the
rebels attacking them day and night
Yes "rebelS" Rebels against what;
against whom ? They are carrying on
precisely the same struggle for indie
pendence that they began against
Spain. Contrary to the wishes of the
American people our present admins
tration has taken.up the Spanish side
of that conflict, and, in violation of the
maxim of our declaration of independ-
ence, that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed" IS attempting to force upon
those. people government by for
eign and alien race The administra-
ton might easily have avoided this
war, and might now easily end it by
promising the Philippines self govern
ment. The American people would be
glad to see this done.

IT viii hardly do to be too inquisitive
rs TO why eastern democrats. who bol:,
ed Bryan III 1896, are for him now. If
pressed closely they could not give any
satisfactory reason. Bryan has not
changed The Chicago platform is still
the creed of our party. They have the
same reasons precisely for boiling now
that they had four years ago. Failing
to rule the party they tried TO ruin it,
and failing in that they are going to
accept the inevitable and return. They
have been taught good lesson and we
hope they MAJ not soon forget it.

THE following news dispatch from
Berlin, Germany, on the LIST of June,
calls attention to question that may
arise soon
Various German newspapers take ex-
ception to the term of the proclamation
which il is said Lord Roberts will issue
on the occupation of Pretoria by the
British troops, especially regarding the
treatment of noneombatants as opposed
TO combatant burgers. The NosSiSche
Zeitung says
Were the Beers who have honorably
fought for their country to be punished
after the conclusion of peace the civil
lied powers would have cause TO protest.
ANY detention or trial of President
kurger would be contrary to the tradi-
tons of international law, n general
amnesty being the logical result of
peace"
Lord Roberts proclamation would
far exceed the customs of civilized war
fare, which has never punished the
combatantS, no matter how obnoxious
to the congueror. We hope that suisse
Quent explanation viii put il in accord
with the principles of international
law. Nobody must be punished for
having fulfilled the duty of q citizen.
England wages war against the repub-
lies, not against their individual inhab-
itantS."
II is true the British newspapers have
heea discussing the question of punish
ing tho Beers who took up arms in de-
fence o. their country. The idea is so
absurd that it would be laughable were
it not for its cruelty. If England
should now make war on Holland and
conquer it, and then punish The Hol-
landerS who made armed resistance 1t
would be precisely the same thing now
suggested as to the Beers. The indie
pendence of the Boer republics was
recognized by. Great Britain, by the
United States and by ali the nations of
Europe. The republics are as indie
pendent and have the same moral right
to be that England has or any other
nation. To any mind, except that of a
British imperialist, the Boer soldiers
are patriots not criminals.

TUE following appeared in the Mil

"Mr. La Follette's following is large
all through the Wisconsin valley, and
he is gaining supporters right along, )"
said Lester a Rose, of Wausau, Secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Valley Advance
ment Association, yesterday afternoon.
"In the Ninth District, Mr. Bradford is
supposed to be the strong man, but Mr..
La Toilette will cut into his chances In
a serious manner. When the Madison
candidate was in Wausau a few days
ago, there were various straws which
indicated the way the wind was blow
ing, and there is little doubt that his
candidacy will cut a considerable tigure
all through the valley"

of opinion in the Record office

THE reports in this mornings daiiies
that the Beers have beaten the British
back at Lindley with heavy loss; that
the British have been repulsed at
Elandsfontein; and that the Beers have
cut the railroad south ofSLord Roberts
and captured provision train, seem to
indicate that Lord Roberts is getting
into trouble. The Beers may evacuate
cities like johannesburg and Pretoria.
To do so is both an act of humanity,
and good campaigning. 1t is easier to
provision an army than to provision an
army and the one hundred thousand
inhabitants of Pretoria, and until the
Boer army is met and defeated no sub
stantial progress win be made in the
conquest of the Transvaal republic.
