SEVERELY DENOUNCED
Senator Turner Bitterly As

P,rty
FOR DElUDlNG TIE PEOPLE IN
ITS PHILIPPINE POL.
ICY
Says Liberty Has Received Grievous
Blow and Nation Dishonored in
the East
PREDICTS GENERAL AWAKENING
the East.

Washington. Feb 12--Mr Turner
of Washington, concluded his speech
begun last Friday on the legal and
constitutional phases of the PHILIPPINES
question. He held, in the main, that
as the Filipinos had established an in
dependent government in the isianf,s
prior to the fall of Manila. the United
States. under the principles Of interna-
tional law, had no right in the is
lands.
Further along Mr.. Turner exclaim-
ed with great vehemence: "The lead
ers Of the Republican party have dis
honored the nation by their greed for
power and spoils. They have done so
under the false and blasphemous pre-
tense that they were serving Almighty
God by advancing liberty and religion.
Instead of advancing the cause Of lib
erty they have struck it the worst
blow it has received since it first
continent
He maintained that the Republican
leaders had deceived and deluded the
people, but he did not believe they
could continue to do so. There will
come an awakening" said he, "and the
day of awakening is not far distant
If did not believe so, I should de-
spair of my country"
Mr.. Turner then discussed in detail
the attitude of the United States to-
ward the Philippine islands under the
principle of international law He
maintained that under those princi-
plies the United States had no right
to prevent the Filipinos from setting
up a free and independent govern
ment. He called upon his Republican
friends to think what a tangle skein
they have woven in the Orient
Il conjure you," he urged, "to un-
ravel that skein, while there is yet
time. | conjure you to do it, not alone
in the name of the hopeless Filipinos,
who trusted you and whose lands you
have drenched with blood, but I con-
jure you in the name of S0,000,000
american people ana lnelf pOStefllV
to stay your hand, lest their precious
liberties be destroyed along with that
of the unfortunate people devoted by
you to conquest and subjugation and
spoilation.'
He denounced the Philippine COM
mission as puppets of the executive
and declared that their so-called laws
are not enacted in the interest of the
people of the islands. The commits
sion, said he, does only what they are
told to do by the president and secre
tary of war.
Mr. Turner referred to the Philip
pine sedition act as not only unconsti
tutional, but as a "relic of barbarism
too black even for the most despotic
and tyrannical government that now
exists on the face of the earth.''
When Mr. Turner concluded, the
house amendment to the urgent defic
iency bill relating to the opening of
state claims was agreed to, which
passed the bill

WE WANT HARMONY.

Hon. Grover Cleveland, twice
President of the United States,
who after being honored by
the Democratic party with the
highest honOrs it could confer
upon man deserted it and gave
his aid and vote to the Repub-
lican party that stood for all he
professed to antoganiZe and be-
lieved to be injurious to the
welfare of the nation, stood
upon a platform one day last
week and spoke to Democrats
in "a manner which appeared to
the uniformed as very nice,
but on the other hand it was gall
to the great body of Democrats
who had voted for him three
times for President and knew
how he had left his party with
out offering a hand to save it
from defeat. On top of this the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
instead of keeping his peace af-
ter having been honored by the
Democratic party with two
Presidential nominations, felt
called upon to rub it in on Mr..
Cleveland because Mr.. Cleve-
land did not support him, and
we are now threatened with a
Kilkenny cat fight between the
friends of Grover Cleveland
and the friends of William Jen-
nings Bryan. We were true to
both of them. We accept the
nominees of the great party as
our nominees and we give them
loyal support, as this kind of
Democrats we have a full and
free right to say to both of these
distinguished, and we can
truthfully say brilliant, men,
"sit down and keep quiet" The
Democratic party is in splen-
did position to win the Presi-
dency if both of these men keep
silent and allow the great Dem
Ocratic party to get together.
The Republican party is in bad
repute with most of the best
thinking men of the nation and
we Democrats only need new
man to lead us, and the victory
will be ours.

THE commissioners of Kent
County have been asked for Il
right to use the county roads
for running an electric road
through the county by Il com
pany headed by Hope Ii. Bar
roll, Esq of the Chcstertown
bar. The request was accom-
panied by an agreement to in
demnify the county against
any loss or claim of damages.
and the cOmpany's check for
$4,000 was put up us forfeiture,
if the road was not i'm operation
in six months. The proposition
is a most excellent one and
should be accepted without hes
itation. The road will be Il
great acquisition to the county,
great benefit to the farmers
and a wonderful convenience
to all as a quick means of trans
portation of products to the
home markets, steamboat and
railroad stations. Worcester
County Commissioners would
heartily welcome such an invi-
tation to benefit oGr county and
people and would grant the
franchise with all speed.

THE failure of the Senate CON
ferences on the Cuban Recip-
rocity bill strengthens the i'm
preston that there will be no
Legislation on the subject by
this Congress, in spite of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's undated activ-
itv and his threat of an extra
session. With three members
of the Cabinet hostile to the
bill no great weight is attached
by Republican leaders in Con-
gress to the position of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whose wishes,
they say, must yield to consid-
erations of party expediency.
In short, the Republican leaders
hold that it is not practicable
to accede to his views on this
subject against the opposition
of nineteen beet sugar Senators
in the party majority, and that
he must therefore give it up.
AS to negotiating reciprocity
treaty with Cuba i'm time for
the next session, the President
is said to hold that such a plan
is no more practicable than the
Cuban bill. From all this it
would appear that SO far as
Cuba is concerned President
Roosevelt has "thrown his flint
lock into the corn" unless he
is preparing some surprise for
the beet sugar faction.

A GREAT many men are SO
wise in there own conceit and
think they know it all so cock
sure that they pay no attention
to the newspapers. 1t was not
so with the late President Nc
Kinley and it may be that he
owed his political success to his
close reading of the newspapers.
He not only perused the prin-
cipal Republican papers of the
country, but he also read the
Democratic papers. He never
de pended upon his subordi
mates or associates i'm office for
his information as to what the
people of the country, through
theirnewspapers, thought of his
administrative actions. 1t has
been said that Mckinley kept
his ear to the ground. If a
careful perusal of the newspa-
pers ofthe country meant keep
ing his ears to the ground,
he certainly did. Probably
no man who ever occupied
the White House was in closer
touch with the people of the
country than was President
Mckinley, and he frequently
remarked that he never consid-
cred as lost the time he spent in
reading the newspapers, for it
was the newspapers that kept
him in touch with the people.
