The great ball game between the
Chicago and Pittsburg National lea

of discussion among the local en-

of opinion arose as to other long
games which have been played in the
past. The fact is that the longest
game took place at the Western ave-

Chicago and the Reds, played July
80, 1892, lasting twenty innings;
score to 7. Previous to that the

western railroads interested in the
Terminal Railroad association of ST.
Louis was held in New York yester-
day in the general office of the Bal

While il is definitely settled that

ga CONQUERING NATION.

Roosevelt, charging that reasonable
utterances had melted the FilipinOs to
instruction, and said that we must
not judge the President in his moments
of oratorical ferocity or when the fren-
zy of battle was in his blood. The
President was not vindictive, but sim
ply strenuous, and resembled in his
habits of speech certain Tennessean' s
horse of which it was said that running
Philippines. He had once heard of a
lion who had performed part in the
play of "Pyranus and Thisbe, but
he was considerate lion, and, lest his
appearance might create 100 much fear,
he spoke a prologue, in which he
assured the audience that he was not
a real lion, but simply Snug the
Joiner -
He would take it upon himself to
speak the prologue for this performer
and to tell the audience that ii was not
real lion-it was nobody but Funs
ton. In his efforts to bestride the
world like Colossus, Funston had put
a strain on his military trousers, with
results too shocking for modesty to
contemplate or parliamentary language
to mention. Having quelled the insur
rection in the Philippines he had come
back with hangmans moose to deal
with the insurgents at home. Death
had cheated Funston of some illustrious
victims like ex-senator Sherman and
ex-President Harrison, but there were
still enough to keep him busy. Papers
had quoted Funston as saying that the
President entirely approved his gallows
speech and wanted him to accept an
invitation from the junior Senator
from Massachusetts, to go to Boston
and talk to the people there about
hanging the senior Senator from ,
Massachusetts, but the plain truth
was that Funston couldn't hang any
body. The constitution still stood,
and it was by the language Of that
instrument and not by the vaporings
of a blathersKite Brigadier that the
crime of treason was defined. Funston
should go back to the Philippines-to
the land where there was plenty Of
hemp and no constitution.

law for speaking words calculated to

CARMACKON
THE PHILIPPINES.
In Strong Language He Arraigns the Re-
publican Party For the Policy 1t
Is PurSu ng.

Washington, April %. In the Senate
today Mr.. Carmack, of Tennessee, de-
livered the principal speech against the
pending Philippines government bill.
Mr. Carmack said that this bill,
like the Philippine tariff bill, simply
presented one aspect of imperialism.
1t was not a question only of franz
ing just laws for the PHILIPPINES, but
a question of right to make any laws
whatever for that people. The claim
of the Republicans was that they ha
burned enough towns. wasted enough
country and killed enough people to
make good their right. The land was
ours because we had strewed it with
the ashes of its homes and drenched it
with the blood of it's people Oppo-
lnents of this policy denied that we had
derived any just powers of govern
ment from the subjugation of the gov
erned. and that was the real issue of
this debate.
Before proceeding to discuss the
particular feature of the pending bill
he desired to recur to certain passages
of the former debate. The Senator
from Wisconsin Mr.. Spooner) charged
that we had prostituted the question
to wicked partisan purposes and that
Mr.. Bryan had seized upon it to force
an issue with the administration.
Unfortunately for this argument the
fact was that Mr.. Bryan had declared !
his position upon this question long
before anybody knew what the policy |
of the administration would be.
1t was said that we must first in
struct these people in the art of self
government. How much time must be
consumed in this ridiculous expert I
ment2 What was the course in your
political kiudergarten2 The President .
had said that it had taken our own
race thousand years to master the
lesson of self government, and thu
implication was that it would take
the Filipino great deal longer.
The President had misinterpreted the
lesson of history. Long before our
Teutonic ancestors had attained the
culture of the Christian they were self

of slavery in the Philippines, which
was being strengthened and invigorated
by our advent in the islands. Ameri-
can syndicates had made arrangements
to secure slave labor from the MORO
chieftains and this woLld add i'm
mensely to the value Of slaves and make
it much more difficult to suppress 1T.
He therefore offered an amendment to
deprive any company or corporation OF
all rights and franchises where it en-
ployed slave labor
He proposed another amendment to
the bill declaring against statehood for
the Philippines. The native members
of the Philippine commission, with
the tacit sanction of all, We're agitating
for statehood He had been surprised
by the liberation this idea had received
in high Republican quarters. Gov.
Taft had expressed himself as being
in doubt upon the question. When we
remembered that the Republican party
had attempted to Africanize a large
section of our own country, why should
we doubt that it would hesitate to
admit Malay archipelago to statehood
if they believed it would increase their
power in Congress and the electoral col
lege? AS soon as the present govern
ment had served its purpose and the
carpetbag syndicates held the country
securely in their grasp they would
clamor for statehood in order to insure
free access to the American market.
Congress owed it to the people to at
least declare in unmistakable terms
that this thing at least would not do.
In conclusion he said that he had not !
been influenced in this matter by any
low desire for party advantage He |
only wished to see the country recalled
from the bloody doctrines of bloody
men and return to the peaceful paths
by which she had assembled in safety
and security to glory and power. He
would turn from the gospel Of strife
and bloodshed and be guided by that
higher wisdom whose ways are ways
Of pleasantness and all her paths are
paths of peace.

EDUCATIONAL WORK.

pense. In fact, we were simply levy
ing tax of two million dollars on
the Filiplnos to provide salaries for
American school teachers and contracts
for American book publishers. 1t
seemed to be assumed that no ray of
learning had ever penetrated those
Plutonian shadows until borne there
on the shimmering wings of a Yankee
school teacher. The fact was that
nearly all the people could read and
write their own language. We were
sending there lot of school teachers
who could not speak one word of the
native language to teach the natives
1ow to read the language of the

along their own radical lines, and any
attempt to impose our ideas or system
upon them would fall Because we
would not sit silent and allow them to
proceed on their laundering career we
were 10 be held responsible for all the
bloodshed in the Philippines
He proposed to deal with this ques-
I ton of responsibility in the light of
the history which the Republicans
themselves had written. He quoted
| from the official correspondence of Con-
sui Genreal Pratt to snow that in his
/ first interview with Aguinaldo the
Philippine chieftain had distinctly
declared his purpose to achieve the
independence of his country. and that
fact was communicated to the Govern
ment at Washington. Yet with the
knowledge of this fact, the Americans
took him to the Philippines and helped
him to organize an army and allowed
him to issue repeated proclamations,
declaring that the Americans were |
there to help them establish an in /
dependent government of their own. |
When you sought the military aid of
the avowed champions of Philippine |
independence when YOU helped them J
organize an army to fight for indepen-
away was his natural gait. If We
were to be held responsible because
we have held out to the Filipinos the
hope of freedom, what should be said
of those who had habitually maddened
them with words of scorn and insultI
He quoted from the testimony of Gov.
Taft to show that all such language ut
tered in the United States was used by
the insurgent leaders to excite the
hatred and hostility of the people.
Mr.. Roosevelt had habitually spoken of
the Filipinos as 'savages and "bar-
barlans'7 and "Apaches, and these
had been scattered broad
cast throughout the islands to inhame
