ing, the question whether Uno beer is OF

Filipinos should ultimately be given
independence If they desire it. He be-
lieves that when. they have shown
capacity for self-government, under
the presidents policy, no power on
earth a hold them in subsection
against their will, and he fully ap-
proves Of the policy of encouraging

this matter" said the senator, .'the
part of true craftsmanship is to pro-
coed carefully, without haste and
without rashness, making the best of
the future and not pausing to lament
over the past" That this is the feel
ing Of an Overwhelming majority Of
the American people is not to be
doubted. A proposition to abandon
the Philippines would now receive the
support of a very small fraction of
our people. When the question was
first presented the opposition to hold
ing the islands was very strong, but
it has decreased to exceedingly small
proportions, due to the fact that Pres
ident McKinley's policy has demon
strated that nothing in the nature Of
imperialism was contemplated, but on
the contrary that the purpose was to
do everything possible to improve the
condition IF tho EilininCc ond fn pra.

reasonably expected. Civil govern
ment in the islands is being gradually
extended, competent natives are given
official positions, educational work is
steadily advancing, in every way the
Filipinos are being assured Of the pc
neficent intentions of the United
States and the testimony is ample that
they are rapidly learning the substan-
tial advantages and benefits of Amer
lean rule.
The latest %deliverance of Senator
Hoar give assurance that he will be
one of the most earnest supporters
in congress Of the administrations
Philippine policy, which will proba-
bly, be continued indefinitely.

far refused to tell who, the other con
spirators are. The fact that he has
admitted SO much is important and it
may be expected that by the continued
application of the methods which
have extracted that much Of a confess
sion from him other and more import
ant admissions will be obtained from
him. 1t would be indeed unfortunate
were the police unable to o the
papers which he says he threw into
a sewer, for with them in their pos
session they would probably find
i: a comparatively easy task to ar
rest and convict all the others who
were parties to the plot. The fact,
however, that Czolgosz has implicat-
ed the Goldman woman is of moment,
as it may result in placing her where
for a long time she will be unable to
spread her creed Of assassination and
violence.

MODIFIED HIS VIEWS.

Omaha Bee: Senator Hoar, by far
the ablest among those who have OPP
posed the policy of the administration
regarding the Philippines, has modi-
fed his views. In an address a few
days ago, Mr. Hoar said that the adop-
tion of the Spanish treaty made it the
constitutional duty of President Nc
Kinley to do everything he has done
since, including the forcible reduc-
ton OF the Philippine people to sub
mission Therefore 1--WE must, what
ever we may think Of the Philippine
question. as brave and patriotic men
look to the future rather than waste
our time in idle regrets for the past"
Senator Hoar still thinks that the

GRAND ARMY ~ENCAMPMENT.

Omaha Bee: The encampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic this
week will be, according to all indica-
lions, one of the most celebrated and
interesting in the history of the or
ganization. There has never been a
time when the public interest and
when the public enthusiasm has not
gone out to the veterans whose valor
saved the nation in its great trial for
preservation and the same feeling pre-
walls today as actuated the people in
the past, when the question of union
was above everything else in their
minds.
The annual meeting of the n a
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic is peculiarly interest
ing and important from the fact that
there are circumstances of more than
usual interest to be considered. ]. is
not an ordinary meeting, but on the
contrary one in which there will be
matters considered of nor than ordi-
nary Importance, not only to the mem
bers of the Grand Army, but to the
general public.
According to the most authentic
advices, one of the most prominent
questions and possibly the enc that
will command more attention than
that of any other, relates to the ques-
ton of the administration of the pen
sion bureau. The antagonism to Com
missioner Evans is most confirmed
and it is bound to manifest itself, ac-
cording to present indications, at the
coming meeting of the Grand Army.
The antagonism which the members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
have in the past expressed toward the
present administration of the pension
bureau, some of them may under pres
ent circumstances modify. 1t would
Seems impossible that any man who
had fought for his country and had
been prepared to sacrifice his life in
defense of the flag could have any
other than a feeling of respect and re-
gard for the head OF the pension bu-
reau, whose labor has been devoted to
taking care Of the men who are en-
titled to the beneicence of the gov
eminent. There is talk Of a persistent
effort to supplant the commissioner
| of pensions but the probability is
that the sober second thought Of the
men who meet in Cleveland this week
will be against any action of this ma
ture.
In any event this is to be hoped
for, that the Grand Army of the Re
public, representing as it does the
patriotic sentiment and the glory and
valor of the nation, will rise above all
selfish emotions and desires and place
itself in accord with the very best
sentiment of the nation.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1901
WELLINGTON A DISGRACE.

1t has remained for Wellington, one
of the senators from Maryland, to be
the only public man and the only
member of the national government
to stand aside when all the nation
uttered it's sorrow and regret because
of the attack on the president and re-
fuse to add his voice to the millions
that have been raised in condemna-
crime of the assassin CZolgosZ. With
the unfeelingness of a brute and the
heartlessness of the assassin himself,
Wellington, when interviewed by a re-
porter expressed himself as follows:
"Mr. McKinley~is my enemy and am
his. l do not like him and | am not
sorry that this thing has occurred
A more brutal remark would be hard
to imagine and coming from a man
who himself is a member of the high
est branch of the legislative depart
ment Of the government of which the
president is the head makes it a dis
grace not only to the man who Is
responsible for it's utterance, but to
the state which he is supposed to rep
resent. The people who elected him
and the body which he disgraces by
his membership should demand his
expulsion front the senate and forever
pulsion from the senate and forever
after he should be stunned and alb
horred by all decent, right minded
men. 1t is to the everlasting credit
and honor of the people of the south
that his malicious and venomous
speech finds no responsive echo from
them and that they loathe and abhor
the man who madei it with the same hon
est intensity as do those of other parts
of the country wherever knowledge Of
it has come.
In commenting upon Wellington's
remarks the Atlanta Constitution says
he has proved himself unfit to be a
member of the United States senate
and that his expulsion from that body
is demanded by a sense of public
honor and decency

BISHOP WHIPPLE BETTER.
For a Tine Fears Were Entertained
for, His Recovery.

st. Paul, Sept. 12-Rt. Rev. Henry
B. Whipple, the venerable Episco-
palian bishop of Minnesota, who has
been suffering from a severe attack
Of angina pectors at his home in.
Faribault, is reported to be somewhat
better this evening. Bishop Whipple
was attacked on Monday last and suf-
fered so greatly that fears were en-
tertainsd for a time as to the imme-
diate outcome of his illness. DR.. A.
J.. Stone of this city .wass summoned
in consultation with DR.. Rose, who
was attending the distinguished pa
tient, and their combined efforts sue
ceedede in warding off a fatRl result.
Owing to the bishops advanced age
it is feared that a recurrence Of the
attack may not be withatood.

AS a cOmpensating measure of re-
lief for the gloom and sorrow which
have filled the nation for almost a
week past and as a vent for the indig-
nation which has welled from every
loyal mind come the stories of com
munities and persons who have UNI
dertaken the pleasureable task of
furnishing those vile enough to have
applauded the act Of Czolgosz. Hard
ly a newspaper published in any city
of Importance has arrived during the
past few days that has not contained
one or more accounts of the quick
wrath which has been visited upon
some fellow who has manifested pleas
ure or satisfaction at the attempt to
assassinate the president. Scores OF
men have been almost beaten to death
by Infatuated citizens for daring to
express approval of Czolgosz's crime,
while in some instances others have
been run out of towns and villages
for the same offense. So long as such
a spirit is manifested by the bulk oil
the American people no fear need be
entertained for the safety of the re
public and anarchists will ever find
it a dangerous place in which to
teach their doctrine of murder and de.
struction.

HELP THE FAIR.

Because of the good such institu-
lions always do the communities in
which they are held it is to be hoped
that the peopleaof the city and coun-
ty will contribute all in their power
toward the success of the county fair,
which begins in this city next Mon
day. Competitive exhibitions of wares
and products are stimulative of great
er effort in the direction of increased
and better production and consequent
ly both producer and consumer are
benefited, the one by the output OF
increased and improved products, the
other by the superiority of what he
is compelled to buy. Aside from the
good natured rivalry which fairs in
spire they are also productive of ex-
cellent results in other directions.
They afford an opportunity for com
p~arison of methods of production and
interchange of thoughts and ideas be-
tween those engaged in like occupa-

coded are calculated to benefit those
availing themselves Of the opportun-
ity. 1t is only by comparison that any
correct conclusions can be drawn as
to the relative merits of various sys-
TENS as applied to the production of
results in certain directions, and it is
knowledge of this fact that has caused
competitive exhibitions to assume the
great measure of popularity they now
possess in all parts of the world given
over to the cultivation and manufac-
ture Of things calculated to benefit
mankind and add to it's conveniences
and comfort. 1t is for this reason that
| governments have at all times been
ready to lend their aid and encour
agement to the great international
expositions, which, after all, are but
fairs on a larger scale.
Again The Gazette asks all who can
possibly do so to add to the exhibits,
whether products of the soil or the
results of handiwork, SO long as it be
something of interest and something
intended for utility or for the gratifi
cation of the senses which add to the
pleasures and happiness of the human
