DE ARMOND'S SPEECH
Delivered in Congress Should be Read TO
Every American Citizen.

To the Editor Of the Post-Dispatch.
The speech Of Judge Dear
mond, delivered in Congress a
few days ago upon the Philip
pine question ought to be read
by every American citizen In
very plain, forcefull words he
shows that the course of our
government in the matter Of
the Philippine Islands has been
one Of criminal aggression aud
Il "perversion Of every prin
clple OF Il republic" and the
operation Of every doctrin e
and the emulation Of every
practice Of despotism."
This indictment is true to the
very letter, nor can a single
pallIating circumstance be ad.
duCcd as an excuse for this
great national crime this dark,
ddmnimg blot upon our count y.
Judge DeArmond. however, Il id
not stop with arraignment of
the government, but he effect
ually disposed of the mea II,
ignoble, cowardly, as was as
illogical contention that having
gone thus far, the govern menl
must continue her present pol.
icy until the FiIipinos are com
Ipletely subiugated, he asks che
pertinent question: "What
iel. agency stands between the
great American republic and
the right? What is across our
pathway leading as horror
points to where glory may be
won Dy the doing Of a just and
generous deed?" He declare.
that what we ought to have
done we still can do" all this
is true. but these appeals tC
honor and generous deeds are
lost; they fall upon unwilling
ears; upon those blinded by
greed of empire and lust o
power, and so the inhumar
butchery will go on until wv,

BUGOLoGCAL.
Way back in 'S3 or 4,
Fire science had become bore,
Wehad nogcrms and thingsto bitcus.
KNEW noJhing OF appendicitis,
Nor did remarks about bacilli
Give Us a feeling damp and chilly,
And keep us guessing mcrriiy
And puzzled temporarily,
Embarrassed, added and pcrplcXed
TO know what bug would chew us next.
Then we could take u juicy steal
And cat it for our stOmach's sake,
Without fear: and we could drink
From cistern, well or kitchen sink,
Or from the spring beside the road
Down on the farm our late abode
And never once in terror squirm
Or tremble ut the wicked germ
Or any other bug or worm.
At night we never seemed to see
Unsecmly bouts or revelry
Or aIy conduct riotous
TO trouble or disquict us
Upon the part Of any bug
Within our gizHards .bnried snug,
Or any germ malcvolent,
AS classified by scientists benevolent
All, no. But them we drank and ate
Aud never once regarded fate,
And we were just rs happy then
AS ever we viii be again
Yea, happier: for then we sought
For Brightness only. as we ought,
And needed not nor gave II thought
TO "all the very latest news"
or scientific bugaboos,
But took as many drinks and chcws
OF meat or milk or rock and rye
As nature seemed to justify.
But now the sharp appliances
OF all the modern sciences,
- it'll their unhear-of rules and laws,
AS Hamlet said, "must give us pause.
No man is safe. We must inspect.
Dcvitalize, tear up, dissect
Steam, steriliza and oft reject
What else were seeming proper food,
But which by science is tabooed
Since with bacilli it is rife,
And teeming with malignant life
With countless animalculae
lnimical to you and me-
1t makes us weary, sore and sick
And tidgety and splenetic
TO witness all this sort of stuff.
Which seems to us, at best, a bluff,
But science has us on the hip:
II we ignore her rules, or skip
Her regulations, she will fall
Upon our necks and curse us all,
For heretics and Johnnie Wises
With all her soul the dame despises
Whatthough we frown and bid dctianc e:
That cuts no ice at all with Science,
And with the germ we still mustrassel
For every body is his castle.
"Man wants but little here below,
AS solacc for his woes:
But woman wants a millionaire
10 furnish her with clothes ;"

NATIONALS EXCITED.
Owing 10 the decision of the Pennsyl-
vania supreme court in the Lajoie case,
the executive committee Of the National
League OF Baseball clubs FASTENED TO
organize at a meeting held last night In
the Fifth Avenue hotel The members of
the committee are John T. Brush, Gin
cinnati, chairman: A. II. Soden, Boston,
and James A. Hart, Chicago. In addi-
tion there were present Colonel John j.
Rogers OF Philadelphia, c. II. Ebbitts and
Edward Hanlon of Brooklyn, Andrew
Freedman OF New York and n. T.. Young,
secretary.
The subject OF the players was dis
cussed at length, and final action was
deferred until today. Supplementary to
this a circular letter was issued to the
umpires. I'm part as follows:
THE executive committee Is determined
that order of the ball field must be
maintained afsl til NJ the progress OF the
game must not be delayed by any player
questioning the decision of an umpire.
You must enforce the rules by removal
from the game of any violator and. In
extreme cases from the ground. III suf-
fcient substitute players in uniform are
not at hand and put In the game within
one minute, the game shall be declared
forfeited TO the non-offending club
"The rule regarding baking by the
pitcher must also be rigidly enforced.
NO batsman should be allowed TO take
first base for being hit with a pitched
ball unless he has made an effort TO
avoid being hit, and I'm no instance should
be allowed his base for being hit with
a slow pitched ball.
Chairman Brush said after the meeting
that the question Of the players who left
the National for the American league
had been gone over carefully. He added:
''It will take time, however. 10 thor
oughy sift the matter and decide on
definite line policy
1t will be remembered that at the last
league meeting II was deemed advisable
10 raise fund OF 100000 for carrying
on a war against the American league.
What effect the Pennsylvania decision
will have on any such proposed action
remains 10 be seen
