MuRpERERs ANp PArnIors

The Every Evening says that The
death Of each soldier engaged in the
war in the Philippines is indeed a muir
der. and murder for which the Gov

sponsible."
It follows this with the assertion
that There are ample evidences that
The majority Of the people of the
Philippines have excellent ideas of the
principles OF government and surely
they are inspired by n patriotism that
would make amends for great many
deficiencies" In another place II calls
the Fiipinos those patriotic liberty

deduco that the people Of the United
