government in re gard to thorn would bo decided by tho pooplo through thoir representatives in congress Whatover course was decided upon tho executive and his cabinot stood ready to carry out This is tho terrible imperialistic policy that Mr Bryan and others havo been thundoring about It begins to look as if tho demo cratic party would havo to bo hunting for another now issuo on which to light tho

with a groat sense of relief and satisfaction by tho great body of tho people No doubt it will provo a disappointment to that class of patriots who admire Agniualdo as they do Georgo Washington but happily thoy aro in tho minority With tho cessation of hostil ities tho beneiicieut purposes of Amer ican control can bo readily demonstrated to tho inhabitants of tho islandsaud tho wholo question of

foreign de mand Iu tho crusade that has been waged ngaiust the cigaretto tho press of tho country has been foremost The evideuces were so palpable as to the re sults of using them that the young men of the country have noted them and are letting them more severely alone It is a compliment to youug American man hood Senator Thurston lias taken pains lately to reiterato his previous announce ment

tobuslucssl Tho following week pooplo in nil parts of tho county many of whom had nover boforo known there was such a paper as tho Journal rocoived a copy of it with tho luinouucomout that tho prico

through tho mails a lotter an nouncing that a man whoso name it was not necessary to mention had paid for tho Journal to bo sont to tho recipi ents address for a certain number of months tho timo always boing so calcu lated as to cover tho mouth of April during which tho liquor notices were to bo published Then along nbout tho middloof March tho scheme was rlpo and tho bright young men of tho Journal proceeded to tho next stop which was to issuo a warning to liquor mon and druggists that thoir notices must bo published in that paper because it had tho largest circulation in tho county threatening that unless their domands wore oboyod they would filo remonstrances against the issuanco of licenses This threat was not only made against tho liquor mon of Norfolk but against those of Madison as woll becauso it was big gamo that tho young mon wore aftor Human nature is a peculiar institu tion but thoro are certain traits that pre dominate iu tho breast of nearly overy individual When an attempt is mado to drivo a man to do a thing bo ho of high or low degroo ho usually develops tho characteristics of tho broncho aud bucks That is what tho liquor men did thoy bucked Instead of falling over each other to rush their notices to tho Journal that paper only rocolvqd ono little 300 uotico from among the 12 or 15 published in Norfolk aud nono from Madison or other towus And this was all tho profit the youug mon of tho Journal derived from their great schomo which included the wasting of much good whtto paper worth three ceuts n pound of anyones money worth more before it was printed than after upon a cold and unappreciativo public Tho young men however had made a threat that thoy would remonstrate against tho issuance of licenses nud to make that bluff good they filed formal protests agaiust all applicants in Norfolk who had not published their notices iu the Journal When those protests came up for hearing before tho council Saturday oveuiug the pins were knocked from under the young mon so quick that they havo not stopped falling yet nud thoy still dont kuow just where thoy are at Thus endoth tho closing chapter of a great scheme Conceived iu greed fos tered in misrepresentation it failed of fruition The moral to this is thntit is seldom safe to attempt to exercise a gas pipo cinch Tho American spirit which proclaimed millions for defeuso not one cent for tribute is as strong today as it was over a century ngo and applies to matters small as well as large THE NORFOLK MEWS THURSDAY MAY 4 1899 Tho Filipinos nnd tho wators of tho Hlg Muddy are constantly

Ag uiualdos cause and condemning tho ad ministration The Mothodist ministers of that city promptly met and passed resolutions condemning such demonstra tions as calculated to demoralize the troops cast a slur on tho president and bolittlo nnd humiliate America In tho oyos of tho world The demand of Gen Otis for tho un conditional surrender of tho Filipinos who aro lightiug under Agniualdo has tho true ring to it There is no uso fool ing with those pooplo Thoy Bhould bo mado to understand that American sov ereignty over tho islands for the present is an uudeuinblo foot The sooner thoy understand It tho better It is to bo hoped that hostilities aro about over and that the timo is near at haud whon our govornment will havo a clear field in which to disclose tho fall moasuro of its boniliccnt purposes toward thoso sub merged peoples Tho truth conies homo more nnd more to overy thoughtful Amorican citizou that this country has a great duty to porform toward these folks living on tho islands of tho sea America for tho world and tho world for America is a catch phraso that has been used for some timo but soberly and courageously wo must now act upon and cany into effect that proposition A now and splendid era rich iu hither to undreamedof possibilities has already dawned Americas mission is to direct humanitys destiny The Secretary of the Navy Speaks Different members of tho presidents cabinot havo recoutly given expression to thoir own viows regarding tho con dition of affairs in tho Philippines but among thorn all no wordB havo been more significant than thoso uttered by Hon John D Long of Massachusetts before tho Essex club of Boston on Dowoy Day They are worthy of uoto especially for two reasons Mr Loug is secretary of tho navy a department of tho gov ernment that has bcon in constant touch with tho actual prosecution of tho war and whoso officers and men have gained such glorious victories Again nmoug nil tho men Mr MoKinley called into his official family nono have a finer rep utation for natural conservatism com bined with splendid attainments and culture and spotless personal character than haB tho Massachusetts member Ho is tho furthest removed from any thing that would savor of rashness in his make up Consequently his speech will bo read with unusual interest by his countrymen as disclosing tho mind of the president whose warm personal friend as well as advisor he is Ho strikes out from tho shoulder in the beginning of his addresa saying I believe that no more uupatriotio ut terance or one more unjust to tho gov ernment of oar country has been uttered than tho stnteinent which I see now and thou that the treatment of tho Cubans by Spain or the Armenians by the Turks is not to be compnred with our course toward the Filipinos in wanton aud de liberate cruelty He dismisses this chargo by saying that those who makn it sacrifice tho truth to the embellish ments of rhetoric Not only is there no foundation in fact for such a criticism but to his personal kuowledgo the wires have been kept busy by the presideut urging conciliatory action nnd kind treatment of the insurgents aud that all wounded prisoners have been sent to tho hospitals where they havo received the kindest care Speaking of the Philippine iblands Secretary Long frankly says Person ally I should havo boon veiy glad that this elophant had nover been put upon our hands Hnt at tho ondof tho wnr tho Islands were on our hands To havo abandoned them would havo been to leavo all their property and interests in astute of chaos Ho very clearly demonstrates that whilo our government was tiying to ex tend tho ollvo blanch of penco to tho Filipinos incited by Agniualdo thoy sought to destroy llfo and proporry at Mnnllu which wo wore by tho law of nations sworn to protect Ho again voices tho policy of tho administration by stating tho lines on which it Is work ing commission of nblo mon is now at work socking such information as will load to a proper adjustment of existing differences Aftor law and order hns been secured through tho efforts of tho army navy aud tho commissioners tho wholo problem will bo placed in tho hands of congress where it bolongs nnd it will bo for thnt body rotlecting tho wishes of tho pooplo to tako such action regarding thoir proper disposition as sooms fit Tho secretary closed his remarks iu thoso words My personal viows are of very littlo cousequonco but I havo nready ex pressed thorn to tho effect that I should bo glad to boo ovory stop tnken toward their ultimate solf govcrnmont ns soon aB thoy show their capacity for it and ns soon ns there shall bo proper guarantees of ordor and protection to property and organization of govornment in a stablo manner Secretary Long has dono patriotic sor vico in thus so simply nnd candidly dis posing of n lot of rubbish which is ap pearing in print from tho minds of men more garrulous than thoy are just and whoso prejudices and ambitions compel them to ignore truth and history In view of his words and those of others who stand close by tho president and havo a right to bo considered as his representatives togother with Mr Mo Kinloys own statements and actions tho attitude of tho men who are hurry ing and scurrying over tho country de nouncing the imperialistic designs of tho administration are as absolutely ri diculous aB they are utterly
