toward those unfortunate people. We
promised them liberty if they would help
us to dislodge the Spaniard, and when
they were in our power we gave Them
powder and ball as substitute. BY our
insensate ignorance of their national
tendencies and peculiarities we have sue
ceeded in convincing them that we are
not only their enemies, but that we are
from choice their sworn oppressors. No
fine talk which Gen. Chaffee or his SUI
periors in either civil or military life
may indulge themselves in will ever set
us right with ourselves or with anyzother
liberty-loving race in regard to odrpres-
ent policies in the Philippines.

WHo,s WHO IN THE pH111PPINEse

History affords no parallel of whole,
people thus practically turning war trait
ors, and in the genius of no other peo-
pie was ever found such maSterful pow
erS of secrecy and discrimination; but it
as needless to say that no powerful state
was ever erected or ever can be erected
on such immoral and unenlightened foun-
dations.
" This language is quoted as used by
Gen. Chaffee concerning the natives Of
the Philippines. 1t is strong, even
though vague as an Indictment of our
Malayan subjects.
Gen. Chaffee should give us his idea
of what constitutes a war traitor. Are
the Fiiipinos war traitors because they
cannot be depended on by the military
representatives of the race which seeks
their subjugation? Is It because they do
not always fight according to the white
mans methods that they are to be des-
ignated war traitors?' Could Gen. Chat
fee or any other civilized soldier or man
reasonably look for fair dealing on the
part of race which is being hunted
and harassed in the effort to bring them
under a new national dominion which.
they repudiate as bitterly as they did
the old one?
There is no expectation entertained bv
anyone that the Philippines will ever
develop into a powerful state, no matter
what rule they are subjected to. 1t is
nc in fl,a Of
environment or climate, to achieve great
ness. All such talk is little better than
foolish. If these people are masters of
secrecy and discrimination that circum-
stance of itself offers no justification or
palliation of tie errand which brings
Gen. Chaffee to their homes He is there
called on to recognize whose civil rights
and privileges are made the subject of
national barter, as theirs have been made
between Spain and the United States of
America
Attempts are of daily occurrence to
mitigate in some way the enormity of
the position which this free people is
made to occupy toward the rights and
liberties of another race. We are told
in one breath that they are as our own
aboriginal savages, and should be treated
accordingly. In the next breath we are
assured that the proper thing to do in
regard to them is to establish the closest
approach possible to representative in
situations among them; to give them
control of their own local affairs; to
promote their education and ultimately,
If thought most advisable. to leave them
to paddle their own national canoe
The truth is that it is this people
which has shown itself masterful pow
er of secrecy and Discrimination in all
that has been done and is being done

1t is rank injustice to the memory Of
President Mckinley to quote him in sup
port of the reciprocity measures That

declared emphaticaIly for protection first
and reciprocity afterwards. The treaties
In question were aimed at Western In
dustries. and no Western man who stud

as an entering wedge, for the reason that
they provided free trade for the West
and protection for the East and South.

had. 1t treats all industries and ali parts
of the country fairly. It's principles ought
to stand or fall as whole, because 1T

GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH.

The report comes from washington that
the administration contemplates favoring
the absorption of the telegraph service of
the country for use in connection with
the administration of the postoftice de-
partment. There is apparently enough
the general subject under public discus
sion.
The tendency of public thought has un-
questionably been for a long time past
favorable toward the idea of the federal
government taking control of the tele-
graph service. Postmaster General Howe
under serious consideration His report
on the subject while member of Presi-
dent Arthurs cabinet embodies the
strongest argument in favor of govern
ment ownership of the telegraph that has
yet been made. All the arguments which
can be advanced today in favor of the
project are there set forth with the great
est force The recommendations of that
report fell on barren ground, and no
thought has ever been seriously enter
tanned of putting them in operation.
The fact that Prof Morse sought to
have his invention owned and controlled
by the general government, and that the
project was seriously considered will be
always regarded as one of the chief rea-
sons why the country should own and
operate the telegraph. The fact that mod
ern progress is naturally suggestive of
the telegraph and telephone as adjuncts
of the mail service of the country will
also be made available in that direction;
and the undertaking is bound on general
principles to be regarded with much pub
lie faver.
While there is much to be said in favor
of the proposal there is also much to be
said against it. The difficulties in it's
way seem at first thought insuperable. If
we are to take the telegraph service over
we must certainly do likewise with the
telephone service; and the moneys neces-
sary to accomplish such an end will be
simply limitless. II we do not think
proper to purchase the proprietary rights
of the telegraph and telephone concerns
we must go into the dual industry on our
own account, which would be new and
necessarily hazardous venture from every
point of view.
But there is, then, a big treasury sur
plus that must be kept down; and the
tendency toward government paternal-
ism is so well-developed as to perhaps
palliate such an experiment. The new
administration feels called on to make
record IN some direction or other and the
project of connecting our colonial posses
sions with our mainland by cable has evil
IDENTIFY led to the conviction that the tele
graph, and telephone business should be
gone into on a national scale.

rying this project to a success he will be
