1KB Qaeitlona,
The Chicago Record has been running
a series of articles daring the summer
describing the work of a kindly mission
ary who went to the Philippines to
teach those "savages" American ways
and how to be . civilized. The mission
ary's name was Connor and the name
of the Filipino whom he undertook to
civilize, Kahyak. The following is the
last conversation reported:
"1 just wanted to ask you about a cer
tain passage in the sehoo history,
said Mr. Kakyak, the Tagolo, address
ing the American missionary.
Washington Connor- Yeis?
Kakyak-'Here it is. (Reads) 'We
hold these truths to be self evident! that
all men are created equal; that they are
endowed ty their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness. That to secure these rights gov
ernments are instituted among men, do
riving their just powers from the con
sent of the governed; that whenever any
form of government becomes dtro
tive of these ends it is the right of the
people to alter or to change it.
Conner-"! remember the passage per
fectly. You are reading from the sec
ond paragraph of the declaration of in
dependence. What of it?
Kakyak-"Well, do the people of your
country still indorse the sentiments con
tained in that declaration?'
Conner-"I don't suppose we are
legally bound by anything contained in
the declaration of independence. In a
general way, however, we still agree
with what it says there."
Kakyak "Do you still maintain that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed ?
Conner ' Nothing contained in that
declaration of independence applies to
the Malay division of the human race.
That declaration was prepared by white
m"Kakyak "Then it should read: 'All
men (except Malay) are created equal,
or perhaps 'all white men are created
equal'?" . .
Conner "For a great many years that
passage was supposed to mean 'all
white men,' just as you suggest. Stephen
A. Douglas, an eminent statesman,
maintained that the nnaleniable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness and the privileges of self-government
belonged to the white man alone.
.Abraham Lincoln claimed that the word
men had a more general application
and included negroes as well. We had
a very bitter and destructive civil war
in America, and after it was all over we
reached the conclusion that the negro
had the same unalienable rights as the
white man. But we have never admitted
that the Tagalo has these rights, if
that's what you're driving at"
Kakyak-"-"! am simply seeking infor
mationtrying to find out the exact
status of my countrymen. You see the
Filipino insur rebels, I., mean, have set
np the claim that they have the same
rights that the Americans claimed in
1776. They have organized a provis
ional government, just as the colonies
did. They are fighting for well, what
they conceive to be their rights. In
wh&t respect are they different from the
thirteen colonies that rebelled against
Great Britain?" . ,
Conner-"The situation here is entirely
different. Our forefathers is America
threw off the British yoke because they
had been made the victims of a long
train of abuses which you will find set
forth in the declaration of independence
in front or you two whole pages. The
Tagalos, on the other hand, are resist
ing a government which is to be wise,
humane and just, with charity for all."
Kakyak "How do we know this?"
Conner "Because we tell you so."
Kakyak "You say ths thirteen colo
nies resisted British authority because
they bad been persecuted and unjustly
taxed. Suppose that after they had is
sued this declaration of independence
and founded a provisional government
of their own Great Britain bad relented
and promised to correct all the abuses
of which there bad been complaint. Do
vou think the colonists would have been
.... 1 a a. r t
willing to go oacx ana accept cnuen
rule?'
Conner "Perhaps not, but"
Kakvak "Another question. I read
in nere that France helped the colonists
in their war against Great Britain, the
same as the Americans helped ns last
year in our revolt against the Spanish,
here in this island. Now, suppose that
before the British bad been driven from
the colonies Great Britain and France
bad made a treaty in which Great
Britain, in consideration of a large sum
of money, bad transfeired the colonies
to France. Do you think the colonists
would have accepted French rule simply
because the French had been their friends
during the war?".
Conner "Your questions are prepos
terous, Mr. Kakyak. It is evident that
you are trying to demonstrate that the
present rebellion in this island bears
some resemDiance to me revolutionary
uprising in America in 1770. You seem
to forget that the colonial fathers were
an intelligent, high-minded body of pa
triots , while the Tagalos are simple
islanders who have a vague longing to
govern themselves and mistake this
longing tor genuine patriotism."
Kakyak "Whether it be patriotism
or not a great many of them have been
willing to die for it. Your colonial
fathers couldn't do more than that."
Conner "Look here, Air. Kakyak, do
you realize that your conversation to
day borders very closely on treason?"
Kakyak "Perhaps so. I have become
rather inflamed from reading the decla
ration of independence."
Conner "I can see that you still cling
to the idea that the Tagalos ongbt to
have a government of their own."
Kakyak "I think they oaght to be
given a chance to govern themselves."
Conner "But the Tagalos are only
one tribe."
Kakyak "We number one and a half
millions. There were only three million
colonists."
Conner "But they were a different
lnd of people."
Kakyak "They held slaves. We are
too civilized to do that."
Conner "Don't yon eoe that it would
be impossible, under prevailing cendi
tiono, to give you Tagalos a separate
and independent government? You are
only one of many tribes. Why there are
tribes right on this Island that are ready
and willing to accept American rule."
Kakyak "Those are the bow men
who live in the remote jungles. They do
not have schools and churches and
printing presses as we do and so they
have never been educated to a desire for
liberty. I read in this history that when
the colonists rebelled against the British
the Indians who lived on the British
possessions surrounding the thirteen
colonies did not join in the rebellion or
the revolution. If I am not mistaken
they helped the British on more than
one occasion, and massacred whole vil
lages of the rebels I mean the colonists.
So, jou see, the colonists did not have
the sympathy of the savage tribes any
more than we have. I'll admit that the
Tagalos do not hold all the territory in
Luron, but they occupy all that part of
the island which is civilized and under
cultivation. As far as that's concerned
tuo thirteen colonies nere only a little
patch of North America. They occupied
less than one-fourth of the British hold
ings in North America, yet they pre
sumed to found a government of their
own without the consent or co-operation
of the inhabitants of the Indian country
and the provinces acquired frein the
French."
Conner "I don't know what you hope
to accomplish by all these paralels. Sup
pose you do satisfy yourself that your
countrymen are real, liberty-loving pa
triots, the same as our forefathers in
America were, what are you going to do
about it?"
Kakyak "I don't know, I'm sure.
Conner "Did you expect us to come
over here and destroy the Spanish fleet
and afterward pay out f 20,000,1:00 for
the mere satisfaction of permitting your
you people to govern themselves?"
Kakyak "Thai's what we thought."
Conner "Then you have very elemen
tary notions of business."
Kakyak "Let me begin at the begin
ning and tell you bow we have been de
ceived." Conner "Mistaken, yon mean."
Kakyak "Perhaps that would be a
better word. When your fleet under the
command of Admiral Dewey came to
Mauila we were under the impression
that the Americans had come to help us
drive out the Spanish and set up a gov
ernment of our own. That's what my
people have been fighting for and pray
ing for ever since 1 can remember. Some
of my neighbors said : 'If the Americans
come in here and defeat tho Spanish they
will take the island for themselves in
stead of letting ns have a republic of our
own.' Then Aguinaldo and other lead
ers who had talked with the Americans
assured ns that the war against Spain
was a war of humanity, that the Amer
icans had gone into it because tbey
believed in the rights of men and
could no longer endure the spectacle of
Spanish cruelties in Cuba. We were told
that the Americans were willing to spend
any amount of money to enforce justice
and confer the blessings of liberty on a
struggling people. We knew that your
countrymen were pledged to drive the
Spanish out of Cuba and he! p the Cubans
to establish a stable government of their
own. We thought you would treat us
the same as you have treated the Cu
bans." Connor "We didn't promise you a
stable government of yonr own. We
have never conceded that you had a
right to govern yourselves. Evidently
you have jumped at conclusions."
Kakyak "But we heard such favora
ble reports of you that we believed you
would give us a chance at self-govern
ment, even though yon had made no
specific promises. We thought that your
conscience might help you to a conclu
sion."
Connor "Do you realize that we have
paid 120,000,000 for these islands? Do
vou expect a business nation to go to
work and throw away any such sum of
money? You may rest assured that we
will keep these islands, especially since
President Schurman has reported so
favorably on the good qualities of the
Tagalos. I notice that ne says in an
interview that in two generations you
Tagalos will be as far advanced, in all
respects, as the J apanese."
Kakyak "Wbeu we are as far ad'
vanced, as the Japanese do you think we
will still consent to be governed by a
foreign power7"
Connor "I don t like the terms you
use. You talk of 'government and 'for
eiirn power' as if the United States in
tended to oppression, instead of making
you highly civilized through the 1 ork-
ings of benevolent assimilation."
Kakyak "Well, I wish I knew just
what was going to become of ns. After
this war is over, Mr. Connor, after all
the fighting rebels have been killed and
peace has been restored, don't you think
your countrymen will relent somewhat
and decide to give ns a cnance to gov
ern ourselves."
Connor "I shouldn't like to hold out
false hopes, Mr. Kakyak. I think I can
best answer yonr question by reading a
newspaper clipping which I have just re
ceived from the United States. It is an
extract from a speech delivered by Pre. i
dent McKinley at the Ocean Grove cama
meeting." (Reads.)
"The flag does not mean one thing in
the United States and another thing in
Puerto Rico and the Philippines. There
has been doubt expressed in some quar
ters as to the purpose 01 tne government
respecting the Philippines. 1 can see no
barm in stating it in this presence.
Peace first, then, with charity for all, an
established government of law and or
der, protecting life and property and
occupation, for the well-being of the
people, in which tbey will participate
under the stars and stripes."
Kakyak "What does it mean?"
Connor "Well, a trne statesman is
always indefinite, but as nearly as I can
figure it out it means, 'You don't get it.'
Note the word 'occupation.' That
means that we are going to remain."
Kakyak "How abont that word
participation'?"
Connor "'Participation' is a beauti
fully copious word. That's why Mr.
McKinley used it But it satisfied the
people at the camp meeting, bo yon
ought not to kick." Gkohe Idr.

KNEW THEIR FRIENDS.
As the First regiment, on its return to
Omaha, arrived at the World-Herald
building on their line of march, it paid
that paper a distinguished tribute. As
the first companies passed they cheered
individually, but as the center reached
the World-Herald, Lieut. Col. Eager
bolted the column, and the regimental
staff uncovered as the entire regiment
gave three cheers and a tiger for the
World-Herald. Major Killian, in com
mand of the third battalion, likewise
honored the World-Herald, and tho boys
testified most heartify to their good will
toward the newspaper that has from
time to time found it possible to add
to their comfort while fighting the bat
tles of the nation in the Philippines. Ar
riving at the Bee building no cheer was
given and only a dead silence prevailed.
A man in the crowd called out: '.'Why
don't you cheer the Bee?" Quick as a
flash came a reply from Sergeant W, H.
Augustus of Co. B: "We know our
friends." Randolph Reporter,
RUSKIN'S NEW LOCATION
Tho famous Ruskin colody, now re-organized
as the Ruskin Commonwealth,
has moved from its old site at Ruskin,
Tennessee, to a new location at Duke,
Ware county, Georgia. The colony now
numbers 208 tried and true co-operators.
They have paid for their new site in full
and also own the Coming Nation and
the machinery for carrying on the va
rious industries conducted by them.
Their new site consists of 800 acres of
fertile, level land, and seventy-five good
houses, besides depot, store and other
buildings. Duke is six miles southwest
of Way Cross, on the Plant System rail
way. The Coming Nation is a 28-column
weekly having an immense circulation
throughout the civilized world. It is
only 50 cents per vear, and the "Colony
Notes" alone are worth more than the
price of the paper to those who are in
terested in co-operation.
Address all communications to the
colony or the Coming Nation to Duke,

HARRINGTON AND NEVILLE.
M. C. Harrington has drawn ont of
the fight in the Sixth congressional dis
trict and taken the stump for Neville.
Every true democrat must applaud the
course he has taken. There must be no
division in the reform ranks this year,
no giving of comfort to the enemy.
Neville is one of the best populists in Ne
braska, sound on all the issues of the
day, and worthy of the support of every
democrat and populist in the Sixth dis
trict. Howells Journal.
PORTO RICO TARIFF
Si
In the case of Porto Rico, the most
pacific and well disposed of all the ceded
islands, the departure from the bene
ficial constitutional doctrine of . free
trade between the ports of the United
States works serious hardship, which
acts at this time in the stricken condi
tion of the island, with conspicuously
unfortunate consequences. The former
market is barred to Porto Rico by the
prohibitive Spanish duties, while the
United States tariff dues on importa
tions from Porto Rico remain as they
were when the island was a "foreign"
country. Expediency, as well as the
reasonable construction adopted by
manv pnnatitMltinnnl Invvara ahnnlrl

the relief of a country which is declared
by the executive to be as much ours as
was tne Louisiana purcnase. rniladel

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
A letter of inquiry addressed to Mrs,
Ralph W. King, president of the Satur
day Afternoon Club of Greely, Col, in
regard to the disastrous results said by
certain anonymous newspaper corret-
pondents to have rrisen from equal suf
frage, brings the following reply:
"I cannot understand how enlightened
people in otoer states can nave received
any such impression, unless it is through
a certain class of individuals who seem
to take delight in opposing and thwart
ing any popular movement. At any
rate I am glad to be able to assure von
that the condition of affairs is quite the
reverse 01 the reports of which you
spoxe.
"1 will confess that when the law was
passed I was rather skeptical as to the
outcome, but I can truthfully say that I
believe already very great benefits have
been derived from it, and if there have
been any evil results, 1 nave never seen
them.

vote. I think they are less bound by
party than men. Oue tbihg is certain
and acknowledged by all, that if the
matter was again put to vote woman

previous majority.
"I know that the bad and ignorant
women do not vote more generally than
the others. Tbey, of course, have the
same opportunity as the bad and igno
rant men, but so also have the good

as in other things, the good women's
work outweighs the others. As to the

never seen any such result. I know that
women takt pride in being able to son

WHAT BANKERS WANT
At the close of the recent national
convocation of the national bankers
they expressed their demands in the fol
lowing resolution:
"The bankers of the United States
most earnestly recommend that the con
gress of the United States at its next
sessions enact a law to more firmly and
unequivocally establish the gold stand
ard in this conntry by providing that
the sold dollar, which, nnder the exist
ing law is the unit of value shall be the
standard ana measure or an values in
the United States: that all the obliga
tions of the government and all paper
money, including circulating notes of
national banks shall be redeemed in
gold coin and that the legal tender
notes of tne united istates, wnen paid
into the treasury, shall not be re issued
except npon the deposit of an equiva
lent amount of gold coin.
The managers of the trusts met with
them. Fifty representatives of trust
companies attended the meeeing of the
trust company section. The report of
tne executive commute- read Dy Anton
Q. Hodenpyl of Grand Rapids, Michigan
showed that the companies belonging
to the section have a capital of f 'J4,
000,000 and a surplus of 07.000,000,
while their cash deposits are f 010,000,
000. Forty-one trust companies joined
the section during the past year.
BOLTED THE PARTY
The Springfield Republican, the oldf st
and most influential republican paper in
the state of Massachusetts, has bolted
the republican party. In its last issue
among other things it says:
You can make the tariff a matter of per
c?nr, the monetary question is confused
an dconf using, both are pocket quest ions,
but the rights of man in the United
States and in Asia touch every home
and appeal to every heart to move or to
harden it. We cannot narrow rights
there without curtailing them here, so
small is the world and so are we knit
together. If we crush that people the
masses at home must pay for it. The
suppression of freedom there is the Invi
tation to militarism at home. Brother
bood is the basis of Christianity or it is
mi a in arlees; enaal rights to all and to
each bis meed of privilege, whether men
or nations, or this repnblio is a lie. To
this touchstone and test our foreign pol
icy most be brought. The soil of Massa
chusetts is no place upon which to
preach subjugation, conquest and mili
tarism, however we may disguise or
palliate them. If it Is, then the glory of
our past is as unsubstantial as a will-
o'-the-wisp, and the heroes we have
gloried in have been creations of the
fancy.

The "London Statist" declares of the
gold exports from New York, that "the

A PLAYED OUT SCIIEME
As the republican leaders look over
this state and see the most complete
harmony among the fusion forces all
over the state, say "What does this
mean? Didn't we get Stebbins and
LIchty tb organize a middle-of-the-road
party? Where are our hired men?
Haven't we paid them well? Yes, this is
all true, but the fellows you hired have
no following. The people know most of
your hired men, and they are 'no longer
a power. The middle-of-the-road dodge
is played out. The people, too, are onto
your latest scheme of buying papers and
running thera as middle-of-the-road ad

cans observe means we are on to all the

LATEST FROM DEWEY
Ha Stands by bis Flrt Report and De
clares that the Filipinos ara mora Cap- ;
able of Self Government than th
Cabana,
A dispatch of the press publishing
company was printed in the papers last
Monday that bears every evidence of
genuineness, giving an interview with
Dewey at Gibralter. In it he re-iterates
his former statement. The interviewer
seems to be an old friend of Lewey for
he said to him, after refusing to tell him
some things that he asked abont:
"Yen know if I were going to give
anyoi e wiat you wish I would give it
to you, for yon never made me say
things that never crossed my mind."
After this Dewey said to the corres
pondent: "You may say this, however, I have
not changed the opinion which I stated
in the early days at Manila. Speaking
from a knowledge of both peoples, I
consider the Filipinos more capable of
self-government than the Cubans. I
took the keenest interest in those em
ployed at the arsenal and was surprised
at their intelligence. With fair oppor
tunit'os and properly directed they have
great possibilities."
When questioned about the report of
the commission that McKinley ap
pointed, of which Dewey was a member,
the admiral said:
"No, I have little to say," he said,
"until the recommendations of the com
mission ot which I am a member are
laid before the president." . , ,
''Did yon read the remarks of Schur
man npon bis return as quoted in the
papers? Tbey explain onr situation."

A
died. I attach gnat importance to his
opinion. lie is an able and high-minded
man whose conscientious and intelligent
devotion to the task assigned him -woo
my admiration. We were Invariably ta
accord."
The admiral has never expressed" re
grot at asking the appointment of, the
commission and has expressed pleasire
In Itelng a member cf it. Owing to his
desire to pnt the report in the presi
dent's hands es soon as possible, which
he f jcls to be his duty, Chicago and the
weit will probably bavs to forego a re-
reception for him. After the reception
at Washington the admiral will go to
Mont pel ler. r j
"I cannot disappoint the people of my ' ;
native town and state," said be. "Tbey ;
are my own people and very dear to
me." -.. .
From Montptlier the admiral expect
to return to Washington for the sessions
of the commission. '
"I do not know if Cotonel Denby will
have returned by tbat time," be said.
"Jl so, I hope to meet both him rod
Snhurmuu at Washington. Of ooi.rse
Gen. Otis cannot come and Worcester, I
cue, is still In the Philippines, but as ws ;
are in accord there ought to be little dc-
loy in making a formal report. I trust

it un'.il the task is finished. At W
