SENATOR HOAR'S SPEECH (Continued from Page One.) Philippines you have brought home nothing of glory. "5. In Cuba no man thinks of count ing the cost- The few soldiers who came home from Cuba wounded or sick carry about their wounds and their pale faces as if they were medals of honor. What soldier glories in a wound or an empty sleeve whlcn he got In the Philippines? "6.

"Another price we have paid as the result of your practical statesman ship. We have sold out the right, the old American right, to speak out the sympathy, which is in our hearts for people who are desolate and oppressed everywhere on the face or the earth Has there ever been a contest between power and the spirit of liberty before that is now going on in South Africa when-American senators hpld thplr peace, because they thought they were under an obligation to the nation in the wrong for not interfering with us.

No people will submit, if it can be helped, to the rule of any peopte. You must have known perfectly well, so far as the Filipino people were like us they would do exactly what we did, and would do again in a like 6ase. You never could eradicate from the hearts of that people by force the love of liberty which God nut thpre For He that worketh high and wise, Nor pauseth in His plan, Will take the sun out of the skies Ere freedom out of man. "This war, if you call it war, has gone on for three years. It will go on in some form for 300 years unless this policy 'be abandoned. You will undoubtedly have times of peace and quiet, or pretended submission. You will buy men with titles, or ofl&ce, or salaries. You will intimidate cowards. You will get pretended and fawning submission. The land will smile and smile and seem at peace. But the volcano will be there. The lava will break out again. You can never settle this thing until you settle it right. "1 believe the American army, of ficers; and soldiers to be made up of as brave and humane men in general as ever Jived. ' They have done what has always been done, and, until hu man nature shall change, always will be done in all like conditions. The chief guilt is on the heads of those who created the conditions. "You will never get officers or sol diers in the standing army, as a rule, tn trlv tfistimonv whih thev thinlr will be disagreeable to their superiors or to the war department. "Was it ever heard before that a civilized, humane and Christian nation made war upon a: people and refused to tell them what, they wanted of them? You refuse to tell these people mis j cat vi utAi, jr cai ui yci uapa iui twenty years whether you mean In the end to deprive them of their in dependence or no. You say you want them to submit. To submit to what? To mere military force? But for what purpose or what end is that military force to be exerted? You decline to tell them.' Not -only you decline to say what you want" of them, except bare and , abject surrender, "but you will not even let them tell you what they ask of you. . f "The statement has been made that many Filipinos favor your, cause. But what is your , cause? What is your cause that they favor? i Do you mean that a majority of the Filipino people favor your killing1 them? Certainly not.

'Never vMmb&k, AU druggist;, xoc. man in the Philippine islands, accord ing to the evidence of Governor Taft himself, favors anything that you are willing to do? "The evidence is that some of them favor their admission as an American state and others favor a government of their own under our .protection. Others would like to come in as a ter ritory under our Constitution. But is there any evidence that one human being Is ready to submit to your gov ernment without any rights under our Constitution, or without any prospect of coming in as an 'American state? Or is there any evidence that any single American citizen, in the sen ate or out of it ,is willing that we should do anything that a single Fili pino is ready to consent to? "The story of what has been called the water cure has been, in part, told by other senators. I have no. inclina tion to repeat the story. I cannot help believing that not a twentieth part of it has yet been told. I get letters in large numbers from officers, or the friends of officers, who repeat what they tell me, all testifying to these cruelties. And yet the officers or the officers' friends or kindred who send the letters to me send them under a strict injunction of secrecy. Other senators tell me they have a like ex perience. These brave officers, who would go to the cannon's mouth for honor, who never flinch in battle, flinch before what they deem the certain ruin of their prospects in life if they give the evidence which they think would be distasteful to their superiors. I do not undertake to judge of this matter. Other senators can judge as well as I can. The American people can do it better. "Let us not be diverted from the true issue. We are not talking of re taliation. We are not talking of the ordinary brutalities of war. We ar$ not talking about or inquiring into acts of vengeance committed in the heat of battle. We are talking about torture, torture cold-blooded, deliberate, cal culated torture; torture to extort in formation. Claverhouse did it to the Scotch Covenanters with the boot and thumb screw. It has never till now been done by a man.who spoke English except in Ireland. The Spanish in quistion did It with the slow fire and the boiling oil,- It Is said that the water, torture was borrowed from Spain. I am quite ready to believe It. The men who make the inquiry are told that they are assailing the honor of the American army. How do the defenders of the American army meet the question? By denying the fact? No. By saying that the offenders havA been detected and punished by mili tary power? "When these American soldiers and officers are called to the bar our friends summon Nero and Torquemada and the bpanish inquisition and the sheeted and ghostly- leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and put them by their side. That is the way you defend the honor of tre American army. It Is the first time the American soldier was put into such company by the men who have under taken his defense. "Where- did this order to make Samar a howling wilderness originate? The responsibility unquestionably, ac cording to the discipline of armies In the field, rests with the highest author ity from which it come. ."We used to talk, some of us, about the horrors of Andersonville and other things that were done during the civil war. We hope, all of us, never to hear them mentioned again. But is there anything in them worse than that which an officer of high rank In tho army, vouched for by a senator on this floor, from personal knowledge, as a man of the highest honor and veracity, writes about the evils of these recon centrado camps In the Philippine is lands? "Now, all this cost, all these young men gone to their graves, all these wrecked lives, all this national dis honor, the repeal of the Declaration of Indepsndence, the overthrow of the principle on which the Monroe doc trine was placed by its author, the de vastation of provinces, the shooting of captives, the. torture of prisoners and of unarmed and peaceful citizens, th hanging men up by the thumbs, the car loads of maniac soldiers that you bring home, all are because you will not tell now whether you mean In the future to stand upon the principle which you and your fathers always declared in the past. "The senator from Ohio says it is not wise to declare what we will do at some future time. We ask you to de clare an eternal principle good at the present time and good at all times We ask you to reaffirm it, becausse the men most clamorously In support of what you are doing deny it. Th.it principle', if you act upon It, prevents you from crushing out a weak nation because of your fancied Interest now or hereafter. It prevents you from under taking to judge what institutions are fit for other nations on the poor plea that you are the strongest. We are asking you at least to go no further than to declare what you would not do now or hereafter, and the reason for declaring it is that half of your de clare you will hold this people in subjection and the other half on this matter are dumb. "You declared what you would not do at some future time wnen you all voted that you would not take Cuba against the will of her people, did you not? We ask you to declare not at what moment you will get out of the Philippine islands, but only on what eternal principle you will act, in them or out of them. Such declarations are made in all history. They are made in every important treaty between na tions. . "The constitution of the United States is Itself- but a declaration of what this country will do and will not do In all future times. The Declara tion of Independence, if it has the practical meaning it has had for a hundred years, is a declaration of what this country would do through all fu ture times. "The Monroe doctrine, to which six teen republics south of us owe their lives and their safety, was a declara tion to mankind of what we would do in all future time. Among all the shal low pretenses of Imperialism this state ment that we will not say what we will do in the future is the most shallow of all. "Was there ever such a flimsy pre text flaunted in the face of the Ameri can people as that of gentlemen who say, if any other nation on the face of the earth or all other nations to gether attempt to overthrow the Inde pendence of any people to the south of us In this hemisphere, we will fight and prevent them, and at the same time think it dishonorable to declare whether we will overthrow the inde pendence of a weaker nation in anoth er hemisphere? "I suppose, according to this mod ern doctrine, that if when the holy alliance threatenend to reduce the col onies which had thrown off the yoke of Spain in South America, not a whit more completely than the Philippine people had thrown off the yoke of Spain in Asia; if they had undertaken to subdue them all at once, John Quin cy Adams and James Monroe would have held their peace and would at least have said it was not wise to say that we would do in the future. "If we had the right to protect nascent republics from the tyranny of other people and to declare that we would encounter the whole continent of Europe single-handed in that case, is it any less fitting to avow that wo will protect such peoples from our selves? "How is it that these gentlemen who will not tell you what they will do in the future in regard to the Philip pine islands were so eager and greedy to tell you what they would do and what they would not do in the case of Cuba when we first declared war on Spain? You can make no distinc tion between these two cases except by having a motive, which I do not for one moment impute, that when you made war upon Spain you were afraid of Europe, if you did not make the declaration. "You said you would not treat with a man with arms in his hands. You have come, instead, to torture him when he was unarmed and defenseless. Yet you said would would make his conduct the measure of your own; that if he lied to you, you would lie to him; that if he were cruel to you, you would be cruel to him; that if he were a savage, you would be a sav ge also. You held an attitude toward him which you hold to no strong or j to no civilized power. You decorate an officer for the capture of Aguinaldo by treachery, and the next week ratify The Hague convention and denounce ! such action, and classify it with pios- j oning and breaking of faith. i "You tell us that the Filipino peo ple have practiced some cruelties them selves. Such things are quite likely t'j occur when weakness is fighting for its rights against strength. Is their con-1 duct any excuse for ours? The Fili-j pino people are but a baby in the hands j of our republic. The young athlete, I the giant, Hercules, the Titan forces a fight Upon a boy 10 years old and then blames the little fellow because he hits below the belt. "If the stories which come to me in private from officers of the army and from the kindred and friends of soldiers are to be trusted; if the evi dence which seems to be just begin ning before the senate committee can be trusted, there is nothing in the con duct of Spain in Cuba worse than the conduct of America in the Jhilippine islands. If this evidence be true, and nobody is as yet ready to deny it, and Spain were strong enough, she would have the right tomorrow to wrest the Philippine islands from our grasp on grounds as good as if not better than those which justified us when we made war upon her. The United States 13 a strong and powerful country tha strongest and most powerful on earth, as we love to think. But it is the first time in the history of this people for nearly 300 years years when we had to . appeal to strength and not to the righteousness of our cause to main tain our position in a great debate of justice and liberty. "Gentlemen tell us that the Filipinos are savages, that they have inflicted torture, that they have dishonored our dead and outraged the" living. That very likely may be true. Spain said the same thing of the Cubans. We have made the same charge against our own countrymen in the disturbed days after the war. The reports of com mittees and the evidence in the docu ment in our library afe full of them. But who ever heard, before an Ameri can gentlemen, of an American who took as a rule for his own conduct the conduct of his antagonist, or who claimed that the republic should act as savages because she 1 had savages to deal with? ' "I had supposed that the question, whether a gentlemen shall, lie, or mur der or torture, depended on his sense of his own character and not on his opinion of his victim. Of all the mis erable sophistical shifts which have attended this wretched business from the beginning, there is none more mis erable than this. "And I tell you that if you disregard the lessons of human nature thus far and do not retrace your steps and set an example of another conduct, you will have, a like experience hereafter You may pacify this country on the surface; you may make it a solitude, and call it peace; you may burn towns; you may exterminate populations; you may kill all over 10, as Herod slew the firstborn of the Isrealites But the volcano will be there. You will not settle this thing in a genera tion or in a century or in ten centuries, until it is settled right. If never will be settled right until you look for your counsellors to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln, and not to the representatives of the war de partment. "The American people have got this one question to answer. They may answer it now; they can take ten years or twenty years, or a generation, or a century to think of it. But it will not down. They must answer it In the end Can you lawfully buy with money or get by brute force of arms the rignt to hold in subjugation an unwilling people and to impose on them such constitution as you and not they, think best for them? . "We have answered this question a good many times in the past. The fathers answered it in 1776, and found ed the republic upon their answer, which has been the corner stone. John Quincy Adams and James Monroe an swered it again in the Monroe doc trine, which John Quincy Adams de clared was only the doctrine of the consent of the governed. The repub lican party answered it when It took possession of the forces of the gov ernment at the beginning of the most brilliant period in all legislative his tory. "Abraham Lincoln answered It when, on that fatal journey to Washington in 1861, he announced that the doctrine of the consent of the governed was the cardinal doctrine of his political creed, and declared, with prophetic vision, that he was ready to be as sassinated for it if need be. You an swered it again yourselves when you said that Cuba, who had no more title than the people of the Philippine is lands had to their independence, of right ought to be free and Independ ent. "And now what have we to say? What have we to say? Are we to have a place in that honorable company? Must we engrave on that column, 'We repealed the Declaration of Independ ence. We changed the Monroe doc trine from a doctrine 'of eternal right eousness and justice, resting on the consent of the governed, to a. doctrine of brutal selfishness, looking only to our own advantage. We crushed the only republic in Asia. We made war on the only Christian people in the East We converted a war of glory to a war of sname. we vulgarized tne American flag. We introduced perfidy into the practice of war. We inflicted torture on unarmed men to extort con fession. We put children to death. We established . reconcentrado camps. We devastated provinces. We baffled the aspirations of a people for liberty?' "No, Mr. President. Never! Never! Other and better counsels will yet pre vail. The hours are long in the life of a great people. The irrevocable step is not yet taken. "Let us at least have this to say: We, too, have kept the faith of the fathers. We took Cuba by the hand. We delivered her from her age-long bondage. We welcomed her to the family of nations. We set mankind an example never beheld before of moder ation in victory. We led hesitating and halting Europe to the deliverance of their beleaguered ambassadors in China. We marched through a hostile country a country cruel and barbar ous without anger or revenge. We returned benefit for injury, and pity for cruelty. We made the name of America beloved in the East as in the West. We kept faith with the Filipino people. We kept faith with our own destiny. We kept our national honor unsullied. The flag which we received without a rent we handed down with out a stain!".

A Republican J'Hift." (Continued from Page One.) asked if he would give him the reso lution. Mr. Sulzer, then, with that self sacrificing spirit for which he is noted, was willing to do almost any thing to have the resolution passed, so he gave Hitt the resolution. Repre sentative Hitt then arose and pre sented the resolution and it was passed. So the republicans are getting credit for the passage of that reso lution, when they had not given the question a thought until Sulzer pre sented it. The resolution which was presented was in the handwriting of Mr. Sulzer and was presented in his own form but in the name of Hitt. What a small thing for Hitt to do? There was Mr. Sulzer who had taken time to draw up the resolution and who was the friend of cuoa, asking to have the resolution passed. The speaker refused to recognize him. Re presentative Hitt stole the bill and took from Sulzer the credit due. Well in this day when small things done by republicans are common, Hitt was just taking his turn to ao tne trior. Verily, wasn't that small for. the re presentative of half a million people. Dietrich also had a chance to make himself small and did It to the amuse ment of every one in the Philippine committee. Senator Patterson had asked a question when Dietrich broke his Sphynx like silence to say "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." Im agine Dietrich knowing what shame meant? Can you Imagine it? For several minutes he was swinging his arms violently like an Insane man and was finally called down by the chair. Senator Patterson sat smiling at the idea of a senator going through such a performance. And when he had concluded, Patterson arose and walked over to him and with his finger point ing right in his face, gave the brewer one of the worst ticklings he ever had. It was an awful calling down and Dietrich should certainly learn by that time that he is in the wrong place to do stunts like that. All the senators regarded it either as a sud den awakening, or a case of imagina tion on Dietrich's part, for there was really nothing going on to get excited at at that time. The senate committee had, Bishop Thoburn before it and he proceeded to make a monkey of himself too. He declared that the Almighty has pushed us into the Philippines and that be commanded us to stay there. When he was asked "didn't the Almighty push us into Cuba also," he answered, yes. He was asked if he hadn't also pushed us out. His emminence got his theology mixed and instead of imparting information to the commit tee simply made himself ridiculous. A vote will not be taken until after the first of June on the Philippine bill. The house has begun consideration of the immigration bilL WILLIAM W.

But who can trust eold? How can we know that it will be a safe meas ure or unit of value? For one, I be lieve that we ought to work away from gold as a standard of value. It was never made for a standard. Al most any other commodity is a better standard, certainly any other metal. If the supply of gold from the mines should give out, as has happened Here tofore, then nrices would fall and taxes and other debts mieht be dou bled. This happened with Rome and was one cause of the decay or tnat empire. A contracting money is more dansrerous than an expanding money. The latter cheats the rich, while the former cheats the poor. A contracting money stops all business by tnrowmg business men into bankruntcy. This throws workingmen out of employ ment and brings them to face starva tion. The natural money for a republic, where the credit of the government is thoroughly estabiisned, is tne pudiic credit, which can be coined and made a legal tender for all debts a citizen is called upon to pay, and which can be regulated, as to quantity, so as to produce a perfect unit of value. This can be done by creating a department of government for the purpose. JNO. S. DiS JHAxv 1 . Jersey City, N. J. . IMPERIALIST FALSEHOODS Thw Kditor of the Manila Times Makes a Statement That Should Attract the At tention of Evsry Thinking: Man Any man who is at all acquainted with history or human nature, ought to know that the claims made by tne imperialists of the adhesion of any considerable proportion of the Phil ippine population to United States and its policy in the islands was ut terly impossible. When they say that Filipinos are attached to us and wel come our government of force in the islands they utter what is manifestly false. The editor of the Manila Times in his edition of the 18th of March last. in giving an account of the school ex ercises that took place the day prev ious says: "But what of these young Filipinos? What of the spirit which animates them toward America and Americans? It needs no deep scrutiny to see that they tolerate, rather than accept, the new conditions. Their lot is one of sufferance. Outwardly, they recognize the American sovereignty; inwardly, they despise it. They did not ask the new sovereignty and new civilization; it sought them. If they can help it, they will have none of it They re gard themselves as prisoners, and as such, submit There is no inclination to accept and identify themselves with the new regime. They regard it as a thing apart something alien and for eign to them. They are really growing up in our midst as strange and indif ferent to us and ours as the wild sav age of Tibet or far away Kamchatka." Then he says that the elders of the people are no more attracted to us than the youth. "On the contrary, they are drifting away, their sym pathies are gradually withdrawing', coldness i3 taking the place of cordial ity. If It be our purpose to make GREAT BARGAINS 7 Importers snd Exporters of 15 far teties land and water fowls Stock and eg-g-s ioi sale at all times. Write , before 70a buy.

If, on thj other hand, we propose to dragoon them in to subjection, our policy seems to have thoroughly paved the way for that hostile expedient" ; j After some further remarks in the same line, he writes as follows of the educated classes: 'To remedy matters, we have two policies open before us. We can either persuade or coerce, lead or drive, these people and show them that it is to their best interest to identify them selves with our American institutions, or we can by legislation force our customs upon them. But one way or another, something must be done. They are too large and dangerous an element to leave alone. It is no exag geration to eay that four-fifths of the insurrectionary spirit lies right among this same educated and cultured mestizo class in Manila. It is not only expediency, but necessity, which re commends a change in our present policy. "Meanwhile, it will pay us to keep our eyes and thoughts on the college youth. They are a grave menace. Upon this article In the Manila Times the Washington Post ' makes the following comments: "We know nothing of this gentle man beyond the fact that he edits, and edits in excellent literary style, a newspaper in Manila. That he speaks with forceful directness and with every appearance of authority, no one can deny. To any claim that he speaks ignorantly or falsely, the student or our history In the Philippines will instinctively reply that he cannot pos sibly be ignorant or as mistaken as those civil and military authorities who, during the past two years, have repeatedly and confidently proclaimed the pacification of the islandsespec ially Luzon and the regime of law and order. Unless we have gone quite mad, such admonitions as these will get a serious and prayerful hearing." It should be plain to any man that if we intend to hold the Philippines "without the consent of the governed the most foolish thing possible is to encourage the general education of the people. This is indicated In the re mark that the college youth 'are a grave menace." When these young men come back to the Philippines with a scientific knowledge of explosives,- the manufacture of fire arms and a perfect acquaintance with the science of war, one of them will be a graver menace than a thousand men uneducated. If we want to hold the Philippines In absolute subjection, the wise plan will be to keep them as nearly in absolute ignorance as pos sible. Common schools and a liberal education will make a very unsafe foundation for a government by force. Another thing In this connection. The people should demand that such men as the editor of the Manila Times and others, both Americans and Fili pinos, who have no connection either with the civil or military government in the islands should be summoned to testify before the senate commit tee that bnth sides of this case may be heard. The determination of Sena tor Lodge and other republican leaders that but one side shall be heard should be met with a protest from every fair minded man1 In these states. ' If the Anglomaniacs of this country want to copy after England so closely as to establish an Ireland in the Phil ippines, , to forever tax the people to support a large standing army there, the right process has been entered upon. The Jflngnsn ana irisn Dotn De long to the white race, but in the Phil ippines the people are of another race and the bitterness will be all the greater on that account. There will be a continual growth of hatred as time goes on. Is It possible for a thinking man to come to any other conclusion? PILES THE BIBLICAL PROMISE We distinctly charge that after the election of 1896 Mr. Samuel Shallen berger was appointed second assistant postmaster, in whose office all mat ters relating to the railway mail ser vice are attended to, in pursuance of a bargain or understanding with the Pennsylvania 'railroad. Mr. Shallen- berger at that time was an attorney for the Pennsylvania railroad. The com pany has made a subscription pos sibly the largest In the United States to the campaign fund. What could be more natural than that the attorney of the railroad should be appointed to superintend the railway mail ser vice immediately after the election. Still, it was a second-class bargain, and In any other country would have d.'egraced everybody connected with it. Shallenberger is still in office. This was in 1896. In 1900 there was another bargain with the Pennsylvania railroad. Again it made the largest subscription and again it received the largest promises. In 1896 it grabbed control of the railway mail service. Tn 1900 nothing less would satisfy it than the control of the Atlantic ccean. Clement Griscom modestly asked for the ocean as a playground a "small park," to be dedicated to him and his associates and maintained at the exponse of the government of the United States. Clement Griscom Is a director and member of the executive committee of the Pennsylvania rail road. He is also the president of the International Steamship Navigation company, which is as surely a part of the Pennsylvania company as Is tne annex flora Jersey City to Brooklyn or the Twenty-third street ferry. Griscom did not ask much or hard. He did not nttd to. After the election all that he wanted was handed to him in good measure, pressed flown, full and running, ever. The Hihb'dy bill Is framed in the interest of his company, and his deep and profound and jabil'ns affection for it'is not d'&guised. It gives subsidies to ships uit as fast as his ship and no faster no slower. It nubsl dizes swift passenger shipsnot too pwift mainly used for pleasure travel by well-to-do people, hut carrying lit tle or no freight The subsidy bill Is conceived in sin and born in iniquity. It Is payment for a big campaign debt that never chould have been corttract ed.

Part leu lam of our treatment and sample mailed f FG0a Mr. W.G. McDanlel, railway engi neer, writes: Hermit Remedy Co. Dear Sirs: I have doctored for bleed ing and protruding plies for fifteen years, the trouble becoming worse as time went on, until I was laid up sick in bed not able to attend to my du ties. My wife came to your office to get treatment, one Saturday, the fol lowing Monday I was able to go to work, and in thirty days I was com pletely cured without the loss of an hour's time. Several doctors told m? that nothing but an operation would relieve, and I think the cure in rry case, in so short a time, is wonderful indeed, and is most gratefully ac knowledged. Very truly yours, W. G. McDaniel, 367 Milwaukee ave.. Chi cago. We have hundreds of similar testi monials of cures in desperate caats from grateful patients who had tried many cure-alls, doctors' treatment, and different methods of operation without relief. Ninety per cent of the people we treat come to us from one telling the other. You can have a trial sample mailed free by writing us full partic ulars of your case.

The esteemed Journal has now blos somed forth as a defender of bar barous practices in warfare against barbarous people, and to make out its case It advances this extraordinary proposition: "The position of the democratic in surrectos on this question is a new one. Never before has it been insistevl that a civilized belligerent at war with a savage foe that did not recog nize the rules of civilized warraro should himself be held to a strict ob servance of them. The point was ut?t er made against American settlers or soldiers in any of our Indian wars, nor has it been observed by any European people in wars with savage races in any part of the world. It Is .1 new discovery and cunning device of American mallgnants for putting; American soldiers at a disadvantage in dealing with a savage and murder ous foe." If there Is anything that has been persistently and vehemently criticised in this country it has been this very thing. Did the Journal never hear -f the speech of Logan? Does it not know that it has been recited in every school house in the land, and that the bar barism of Col. Cresap has been as uni versally denounced? Has It never heard of the condemnation of the mas sacre of the Moravian Indians? Has it never heard of the Semlnoles? If the Journal really imagines that our soldiers have not been criticised for barbarism toward Indians we would urge it to call for "The Exiles of Florida," by Joshua R. Glddings, at the city library, and read one of the most scathing denunciations that was ever penned. Did the Journal ever hear of Helen Hunt Jackson's "Century of Dishon or?" Did it ever hear of the investi gation of the "Sand Creek Massacre" by the government, and the punish ment of Col. Chevington? Did it ever hear of the investigation of the mas sacre of the Piegans or the Manas, and the terrific arraignment of it lu congress? Did it ever hear of Cust er's massacre of the Cheyennes on th? Washta and the storm of denuncia tion that followed it? Really our contemporary must havo been sleeping more than has been suspected to come forward at this late day with such a statement. Tn-i American people have always con demned barbarity in war against In dians. They never approved burning people at the stake because the In dians did so. They never approved of wanton cruelty or torture. Ani there is no more reason why they should approve barbarism azalnst Filipinos than against American In dians. Indianapolis Sentinel. The Root of the Trouble In our small unpleasantness over the sea, The man, who incited the infamy Of giving the world that now famous decree, Has long been a theme for dispute. At first it was Waller. While trying the same. Twas said that one Smith had a hand In the game; And now all of those on the inside proclaim. The root of the trouble is Root The water cure, gentle and fiendish design, The leg-breaker, gift of some spirit malign And other devices of torture condign. At which even Satan would stall! By the arms of the prisoners swing them up high. One day shoot a foot and the next day a thigh; Next day plug an arm; keep it up till they die And Root is the root of it all. Go, tie down a native and smear on , his face Some sugar; then leave him for sev eral days, Till ant3 of the tropics, a eltrantic race. Have eaten the cuticle through; Or catch the poor, undersized weak lings, and then No mercy, no quarter! "Kill all over ten," And Root is the root of this, too. By such Christian methods as these. we are told, These children of men. whom we bought with our gold. We seek in perpetual bondage to hold. Burn, devastate, murder and loot Destroy every home and wipe out every town. They've dared to ask liberty shoot them all down, They're fit but for serfs to a man with a crown Which same-is a person called Root . J. A. EDGERTON.
