excusable IL we ask for "a bill OF particu-

AS for the Filipinos. II is a mere begging
OF the question TO say that we have no tears

one OF them There Is no basis of campari-
son which can be instituted. We are thor
oughly well acquainted with the positions
and interpretations which the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts, has so elo-
Quently advanced in regard to the Filipinos.
We agree with him when he makes his plea
for the negro. But neither we. nor the great
majority OF the American people, can follow
him when he declares that our Nation has
