WHICH THE BETTER WAY

Fifty years ago Japan was heather
country, without trade or commerce
Her people were unacquainted with
the outside world, and utterly Ignorant
of Christian civilization. Without the
firing Of shot or the shedding OF
drop of blood, Japan was rescued from
her isolation, her people made &C
ouainted with the world at large and
helped on the road to liberty. No
nation presumed to teach the Japanese
self government. No nation assumed
to control them under the specious
plea of benefitting them. No nation
declared its purpose to govern the
japanese and grant them as much
freedom as their condition warranted
and the interests of the controlling
nation dictated. On the contrary,
Japan was left to work out her own
salvation, and although an oriental
island and occupying vantage point
for oriental commerce, no nation selzed
the island. During the fifty years
since Commodore Perry opened the
port of Japan and made a treaty with
the Japanese, the people OF Japan
have made progress unparalleled IN
the history of the world. To-Day
Japan is a world power. Her people
are classed among the intelligent and
progressive peoples of the earth. Au-
tocratic and arbitrary power is fading
away before intelligence, and trade
and commerce flourish without the
bullet and the bayonet.
For three hundred years the Philip
pines have been peopled by Chris,
tians. The Filipinos have builded
schools and universities. The people
have sent representatives to the lead
ing universities of Europe. They have
worshiped the true God, erected
homes founded cities and struggled
for freedom. Yet Christian nation
seizes the island under the specious
plea of acting under Divine provi-
dence, drenches the island with blood,
laws waste towns and cities. devastates
fields and makes sport Of yearnings FOR
liberty and freedom and self govern
ment. Peace marked the dealings
with the heather Japanese slaughter
marx the dealings with the Christian
Filipinos. No one sought to interfere
with the government, Of japan by the
japanese, although they were ignorant
of Christianity and knew nothing. OF
civil liberty. But q people yearning
for liberty, worshipplng Goo, and
eager to take place among the ma
tions of the earth. are coldly told that
thew must submit to arbitrary govern
menr, relinquish the dream of centuries
and be shot II they oppose their con-
querors. 49, 80
Which IL the better way. the one
pursued in Japan or the one now being
pursued in the Philippiness-The Com

Cause Unknown, But Eyesight Gone,

James G. Tidwell of Culleoka and
]. A. Dunn of Mt. Pleasant, are at the
Guest House under the treatment OF
DIR. Edwards. Both men have lost the
sight of their left eyes, though they
had not injured their eyes in any way
that they know of. :.
Mr.. Tidwell's eye began itching
about week ago. and he rubbed il
until Inflammation set in. Sunday ne
came to Columbia hoping that the
eve might be saved. but the sight
was already turning white, and DIR.
Edwards thinks that it is now entirely
gone. =,
Mr.. Dunn was similarly effected
about two weeks ago, but did not come
to Columbia for treatment until Mon
day, which proved to be too late te
save the sight of the eye. DR.. Ed
wards thinks that Mr.. Dunn has IL
some way gotten something IN hls
eve. which caused his trouble.
Mr.. Jessie Overton Of Spring Hill
brought his little son to Columbia Mon
day, to be treated by DR.. Edwards
The little fellow accidentally shot one
eye with target gun last Xmas, and
the other eye is now effected. Mr.
Overton Is also stopping at the Cues

THE PRICE OF HARMONY.

1.-THE crying need of the hour is
harmony, shout the reorganizers. IL
we answer that they are the ones who
destroyed the harmony of the party we
are accused of recalling by cones. 1t
we ask them what they will charge for
harmony we are accused of being dis
turbers of the peace. There can be no
satisfactory harmony that does not rest
upon an honest understanding. What
have the reorganizers to offer as a ba-
sis of harmony2 First, that the par
ty will adopt their ideas on the money
questionable ideas that led them out
of the democratic party into the re-
publican party or into the Palmer ana
Buckner party. which on the money
question was even worse than the re-
publican party. This does not mean
merely the suspension of the advocacy
of free coinage. it means the complete
turning over OF the financial system to
the financiers. II we dare to condemn
the Fowler bill we are interfering with
harmony if we object to banks OF
issue we are alternating the bankers; II
we protest against branch banks we
are disturbing the confidence of the
monied interests; If we point out the
dangers of the bill making the silver
dollars redeemable in gold, we are put
ting stumbling blocks in the way OF
getting together.
It may as we'll be understood now as
learned hereafter that harmony means
full and complete surrender to the
| financiers The next concession de-
manded is that the nominees for office,
national, state, county and precinct,
shall have the confidence of the "busi
ness interests, which the reorganizers
construe to mean men who opposed the
platforms of 1896 and 1900 and lent
either active or passive aid to the re-
publlcans. Out of the millions OF men
who earnestly supported the dem ocrat.
ic ticket in 1896 not one can be found
who sufficiently enjoys "the confidence
of the business interests to make
him an acceptable candidate to the re-
organizers. Wherever they are in
power they insist that candidates for
congress, for the United States senate.
for the state legislature and for all
state and local offices shall be men
who are themselves connected with
the corporate interests or men domi-
mated by those who are connected with
the corporate interests.
But is this sufficient? Not quite.
The organization must be turned ovei
to them and corporation men must be
put in charge-men who secure cam
paign funds by mortgaging the party
to the corporations ana who then en-
ploy the campaign funds to corrupt
votes purchase election officials, ETC.,

REPUBLICAN PARTY CRISIS.

not a new question for the Republican
party to handle. 1t was far more diff
cult for William Mckinley to adjust
it for the little republic of Cuba.
William Mckinley settled it as he did
every other question IN his time that
perplexed and tried his party, by con-
ciliating. by harmonizing by making
concessions and, wherever necessary,
by compromising. The ardent protec-
ton sentiment of some has Deen tried
by the trust developments of the past
few days, and many believe that
some of our protected industries should
be strong enough by this time to stand
alone The task of the administration
| is therefore difficult. 1t is now being
put to the crucial test of the highest
craftsmanship. 1t must be tactful, re-
sourceful, conscientious. unambitlous,
and always conciliatory. The unfor-
tunate break in Republican Senate
] following manifestations of dissatisfac-
| ton in the House. is not tritiing
matter, and the growing unrest OF the
masses is in marked contrast with the
confidence and hope they felt while
they followed thu banner OF William
Mckinley. 1t needs no prophetic eye
to realize that the Republican party is
facing a crisis. How shall it be met?
1t is not a question of 1904; it Is d
question of 1909. Political changes in
this country are sometimes very alb
rupt. The party that enters a presi-
Dental campaign with broken ranks,
disorganizat1on and disatfection, is
beaten before the contest begins.

THE PHILIPPINE FRlARS.
[Courier-Journal.l

The friars in the Philippines are not
opposed by the Filipinos on account or
reiigion-poth the friars and the Fill
pinos, indeed, being Catholics-but
because Of the civil powers which the
friars exercised and Of the manner in
which they exercised it.
Under the Spanish regime these
friars were really the dominating au-
thority in the islands, and it was more
against them than against Spain that
the Filipinos rebelled. In their insur
rections of 1896 and 1898 the Fllplnos
drove the hated friars from their
parishes. Most of them He'd to
Manila, but about forty were Killed
and about 400 imprisoned, not being
released until the advance OF the
American troops. There were, it is
said, 1, 1874 OF these friars in the Philip
mines in 1895. but since then so many

The Americans offer to buy their
lands and send them out Of the Philip
pines is a liberal one especially as many
OF them have no good titles to the lands
and cannot return to them II they
would. The proposition is best for
both the friars and the Filipinos, and
