The year 1898 saw the ad rent of
the first locamotive engine that ever
snorted through the hills of Korea,
aDd it was one of Yankee build
which makes it nil the more interest
ing for Brother Johnnatlion.
The French Nation is still tremb
ling from her polsied condition over
the Dry fus matter, and the pros
pects are that the earth of Devils
Island will - lose over their victim
before justice triumphs.
Jo 1814 4*1(1 “Hickory. Jackson
fought and won one of the decisive
battles of cur second war with Eng
land, 13 days after peace was de
clared al! because he had not heard
of it. In 1899 Otis' victory over
Aguinaldo was recorded at Wash
ington 12 hours after it occared,
although it was 11,000 miles away.
The century just passing will be
remembered in history aa being the
period of moie great and useful in
ventions than any of its predecessors
since the beginning of the Christian
era. Man has learned to talk around
the world upon the lightnings Hash,
and to travel upon the wings of the
wind. Distance has been annihilat
ed and a pleasure trip of sixty days
takes you around tha globe.
The W<»rld-Herald says that Sena
tor Allen showed himself capable oi
raising above party when ho voted
for the ratification of the treaty ot
peace, llight it is. and the next
tbiDg iu order should be for the party
to get up a little so that it would
be honest enough to uphold measures
that they know is right. If Mr.
Allen was not so bitter against the
protective policy of our country he
would doubtless, under the present
circumstances receive enough repub
lican votes to re-elect him.
Senator Allen, whose tenure of
office will soon expire has proven
himself to be a statesman and a
gentleman, and one worthy the con
fidence bestowed upon him by his
party when he was elected. Mr.
Allen, though a democrat, elected by
a populist legislature, has demon
strated the fact that when the honor
of his country was at stake lie would
be found voting to uphold that hon
or whither the administration was of
his political complexion or not. He
is a man who possesses the strength
of his convictions and will be re
membered in history as one of the
senators who was not elected in
vain.
The news was cabled from Manila
to the w ar department at Washing
ton on the 14 of Feb. that Iloilo,
capital of the island of Panay one
of the group of the Philippines had
been taken by the Potted States for
ces under Brigadier General Miller.
Not a single American so far as
known was killed, but the loss to the
insurgents was heavy. The Dalit#'

|o the World Was not tvp|» thought
b.v the most intelligent, and when the
order was issued from Washington,
instructing Dewey to at once pro
ceed to Manila, and capture or de
stroy the Spanish fleet, the hand that
penned it, nor the biain that evolved
it were cognizant of its full meaning.
But when the order was fully carried
out, and the Spanish fleet was at the
bottom of Manila Bay, Deweys task
hud only begun and the responsibili
ties of the government lie represented
was then launched upon a turbulent
sen. But had Dewey sailed away
and left the Spanish and Filipinos
to continue their bloody strife would
the United States been justified.
This war was entered into for hu
inanities sake, and to annihilate the
greatest factor of self defense the, at
least, semi civilized party possessed
ard then abandon them to tlie blood
thirsty savage Malay’s, whose only
principle is eussedness and only wish
to destroy their oppressors, would
have eondetned us before the world.
The fortunes of war had delivered
into our hands the harbor of the me
tropolis of the Philippines, and that
humanity which we boasted
of, compelled us to no longer recog
nize the authority of the Spanish to
continue his rule of horor as he had
been for 387 years, neither could we
place the saepter ia the hands of an
uneducated barbarous people who
wree not even capable of governing
themselves much less the mixed pop
ulace inhabiting these islands. By
conquest we had the sovereignty of
the archipcligo. Humanities dicta
tions would not allow them to bo
turned over to either party. Selfish
greed and averice would have caused
their re-conquest by some other pow
er very quickly after our withdrawal.
Therefore for the sake of that liberty
we ho delight to hold up to the world
coupled with enough selfishness to,
protect and foster our own interests,
it would seem to be a travesty on
common sense for men to call the
present state of affairs at Manila, an
“unholy war.”
