FUNSTON'S STRONG PLEA.
Some Plain Truths for the DigestiOu
of the Tagal sympathizers I'm
This Country.

In a characteristic talk 10 the men,
bers and invited guests of the Lotos
club of New York, Gen. Funston on
Saturday evening gave counsel to which
all men in this country, whatever their
official or social station may be,
should give heed. After relating some
of his experiences in the Philippines
and dwelling upon the forbearance,
the patience and the charity shown
by the American army toward the re-
bellious natives, he proceeded to de-
nounce the men in the United States
who by their speeches and writings
are keeping the spirit Of insurrection
alive in the archipelago. Then he said:
Think what you please about the JUS
tice or the propriety of taking the Philip
pines and of holding them; think as you
please, but for heavens sake keep your
mouth shut until We get this war settled
and the sovereignty Of the United States
settled, and then get together In the coun-
try and pull hair and fight 1t out among
yourselves"
In these few words Gen. Funston
stated the gist of the plea that has
been made by every loyal American,
from thelate President Nc Kinley down,
who ever expressed his sentiments rel
alive to the trouble in the Philippines.
So long as armed foes are opposing
themselves to the men whom this gov
eminent has sent to enforce its just
authority it is not the time to discuss
academic questions of right and wrong.
While a vestige of the insurrection re-
mains 1t is the duty of every American
citizen to give such aid as lies in his
power to it's suppression, or at least, to
refrain from giving moral aid and COM
fort to his country's enemies. When
the last Tagal insurgent has laid down
his arms and acknowledged the author
ity of the United States there will be
time enough to discuss the question Of
the ultimate disposition of the archi-
pelago.
No man has n better right to tell
Americans what their duty is in this
matter than Gen. Funston, says the AL
bany Journal. BY his brave and eff
cient service for his country he has
won 1t, and none is better qualified to
give COUNSEL He has had the expert
ence that gives wisdom. There is no
American so old and so wise that he
can afford to disregard the words Of
the intrepid little warrior, the staunch
patriot, from the state of Kansas.

SHOWING THEIR GUILT.
Demeerats Greatly Exercised Owes
the Proposed Southern IT,
vestigstion.

The spasms of the democratic con-
gressmen and newspapers. over the re-
publicans' purpose to investigate the
suppression of the negro vote in the
southern states are confession OF
guilt. All that the Crumpacker meas
ure. which the republicans of the house
intend to pass, asks for is the appoint
ment of special committee of 10 to
inquire into the Acknowledgement Of
voters in certain of the southern states
and to report to the house. The meas
ure proposes to have an intelligent,
unbiased investigation made of the
question, so that the country can know
Just how far the spirit Of the four
teenth amendment has been violated.
It seeks information and not legisla-
ton, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
If there be any "force-billism" or
"bloody shirt waving" in this PROPOSE
ton, let its enemies make the most OF
1t. But there is nothing of the sort.
The committee will make report,
but will not make any Recommended
tons one way or the other. The abuses,
if they are found, may go on indefinite
ly so far as the special committee is
concerned. There is no general desire,
so far as has been revealed, for the
passage of any bill to invoke the pun
ishment on the offending states which
the constitution provides. A few men,
bers have favored such legislation, but
nothing of the sort is contemplated
now. Nothing of the kind is attached
to the Crumpacker proposition. Moth
ing is limited at by any republican
which would Justify the charge that
there will be any enforcement Of the
principle of equality in the suffrage
which the constitution assures.
There are at least two REASONS why
the democratic shrieks of bloody
shirtism" are foolish. They show that
the democracy knows that it is open
to the charge of vote suppression which
is made against it. The shrieks can
not have the faintest influence on the
action of the republican party. To the
extent to which the republicans pro-
pose to go, they cannot be deferred
by the threats of the bulldozers of the
democracy in the north or in the south.
All that the republicans ask is that
the truth as to the situation in the
offending states be laid before the
country. The democrats are afraid
of the truth, and for an excellent rea-
son. The truth will hurt them, and
they try to prevent it becoming known.
In this attempt to hide their guilt
the democrats will be beaten.
