Cit\ , which wo know by the namu of the
"draft ilots" In 1SU' > these same craven
preachers of peace worn responsible for the
murder of Abraham Lincoln. Nowadays
their Hucceisorn , who use their exact Inn-

ros-or of Vnll.imllghntn In his speech In

tween eulogizing Altgeld , Hip man who
pardoned the atiarfhlsl bomb throwers , and
ouloKlzlng AgUlnnldo , whn-o success would
mean , and could only mean , the slaughter
of American soldiers and the dishonor of
the American Hag. He likened Agulnaldo
to Patrick Henry and called him one of
the heroes of the world He took the po
sition that Afjulpaldo was a hero for killing
our soldiery , but that It they slew 1dm it
would bo murder.
lilo I'rnlNi'H UrmncrnlM.
"While Mr. Lent , : was thus preaching
trention Agulnaldo was bending over a
incs-ago , which lins only the , other day
been published. He bad evidently not
heard of Mr Lents' , but he h.id heard of
some of the minor beroe ? of the antl-
expnnslon that 1 , null-American and nntl-
patrlotle mnxeineut , and he pr.ilbed them
In terms which , If the men were capable
of ono thrill of American feeling , would
make them shudder with horror at having
won and deserved such commend. ill in from
nn enemy of their country Klnally , with
a simple sincerity which Agulmildo's party
allies heio would do well to Imitate , the
proclamation of the Philippine chief con
tinues In so mniiv words to state that bis
hopeof successful resistance to Hie au-
thorltv ot the United States Is based on
the triumph of the democratic party. Con
tinuing , he said :
"Therefore wo must show our giatlturlo
and maintain our position more resolutely
than ever. Wo should pray to Oed that
the great democratic partv mav win the
next prcslilentl.il election and Imperialism
that Is , the American people fall 'n ' Us
mad attempt to subjugate us by force of
arms. "
In other words , Agulnaldo Is fighting for
the democratic party nnd the democratic
imrty for him , the arms of his men who
shoot down our soldiers are nerved by the
aid and encouragement given them by tbo
anti-expansionists of tlio United States nnd
lie continues the bloody war in the Philip

Hear In mind that this airalgnnient of
the democracy Is unconsciously given by
Its friend , Agulnaldo , tbo man who at
the present stands as tlio typical repre
sentative of MU.IEPI-V , the typical foe of
civilization and of the American people nnd
as the peculiar protege of the men who in

hns undei taken to do In the Carolines are

Are wo alone among the great nations of
thu wet Id to announce ourselves too weak
to do our shaiu of the task , too timid to
bear our part of the burden in extending
the reign of law , of order , of pence over
the whole world ? Thut Is what expansion
means. It means not only the o\ten lon
of American Inlliienco and power , It me.uiH
the extension of liberty und order and the
bringing nearer by gigantic strides of the
duy.s when pe.ice shall como to the whole
earth.
Last summer the United States had the
honor to take what was on the whole the
loading part in the I'eaco conference at
The Hague. We were able to play that
part solely liccaiiFo during the preceding
year we had fought to \ictorlotis con
clusion the most ilghteous foreign war in
\hlch any nation Ims been engaged for
uilf a century. Our power to lurtlier
he cause of peace as among the civilized
mtlons of the world has been Imine.is-
irably Increased because we have .shown
ourselves able and willing to do our part
n policing the world , in keeping order In
ho world's waste spaces.
It IH \ntloiiiil Wnr.
rtemember that the war in the Philippines
a absolutely and without qualilicaiion a
mtlonal war With characteristic ncner-
sloti of the facts our opponents have spoken
is though this war wn unnecessary , Jb If
t wore now waged bv President McKlnlcy
in his own authority , and without the
consent of congress In the tlrst place ,
what we have done was Inevitable , so far
as the administration and the American
> eoplu nt large weie concerned. There
\as Just one chance of axoidlng war. If
the nntlppnnlonlsts , the peace-ut-any-
irlco people , had not delayed the treaty
n the senate , 1C by their loose imectlve
they had not misled thu Tag.ils , we bhoiild
irobnbly never have lind any war In the
Philippines. Agulimldo'.s proclamation
> ro\os beyond shadow of doubt that the
nsuiucnts have held out on the blremth :
of the hoped-for aid from the democratic
tarty and from the nnti-oxpunslonlhts hero
n our homo land.
The treaty with Spain was finally ratl-
llert by the senate , but it was not ratltlPd
by the Spanish government until a fort
night after congress had adjourned , leav
ing the president to act as the nation's
representative The lower houuc had ,
meanwhile , taken Its share In the ratillca-
Llon ( the opposition was BO small as to bo
Insignificant ) by passing the appropriation
of { 20000,000 , as required by the treaty.
The Iblands thus , by the ratification of the
Lreaty and by the action of the senate and
house of representatives In passing the
J2rt,000,000 appropriation bill , became part of
the United States , and it was juat us much
the president's duty to keep order In them
by the use of the niiny , ns it would bo
his duty to keep order in Arizona by the
use of the army In cns-o of an Apache
outbreak. Nor Is this nil.
In p.usslng the army bill contrress ex
plicitly recognized the fact that there was
, i Philippine- Insurrection and that It had
to bo put down by the uao of our armed
torceb. It provided for an army of oxer
bO.oOO regulars ami over 30,000 volunteers
especially with a view of ineetlng the pres
ent exigencies , It sot forth thnt the army
should bo kept up to the e figures for two
jenrs. in other words , congress explicitly
provided an army of nearly 100,000 men tor
the purpose of cairjlng out the Philippine
war. Under tnich circumstances , the talk
of this war being' unauthorised by congress
can be duo only to Ignorance or else to a
willful Intention to suppress the facts.
The path of expansion Is the path of
national honor , the path toward unlvorsal
peace. You , my countrymen , riinnot refuse
to tread it unless jou mo willing to re
nounce your claims to be the hells of the
ages and to abandon nil pretense of tol-
lowlng In the footsteps of Washington , or
Lincoln , aod ot all the treat Americans

"If congress would drive out the friars , "

church property , the bottom would drop out
of the Insurrection within a week.
"Some people returning have spoken of
the brutality of our soldiers in the Philip

OPPOSED TO LABOR TRUSTS
rrcldrut KlRti ot tlie Illinois Central
lIclletcN In Krcu Coiiipet Itlon
In the I.nlior MiirUet.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 21 SUivesant 1'lsh ,
president ot the Illinois Central Railroad
company , waa before the Industrial commis
sion in Its afternoon gcislou. He made an
argument for the shipment of the products
of the Mississippi valley states intended for
export via New Orleans , claiming the advantage -
vantage of .a descending grade. With equal
tonnage he says freight uiuld bo carried
moro cheaply from Chicago to New Orleans
than from Chicago to Now York.
Speaking of the competition of rl\cr trans-
portatlon ho said thnt railroad rates had
become BO low In recent ycsirs thnt It was
no longer formidable. In three years not
a halo of cotton had been carried Into New
Orleans by boat , He presented a table
showing that there were tlx systems of
rallrcads , representing over 18,000 miles
terminating In Now Orleans.
Ho aald that the capital stock of the Illi
nois Central did not represent the value by
$20,000,000 , and declared that railroads gen
erally Instead of being overcapitalized , were
really undercapitalized. The road had never
failed to pay dividends , but during the dull
times succeeding the panic of 1801 It had
been necessary to reduce the force very
materially. He thought It would have been
more satisfactory to reduce the wages than
to curtail the force , hut this had been found
Impracticable because of the danger of , a
strike. He expressed the opinion thnt wages
would always bo controlled by the law ot
supply and demand , "except ns 1(8 ( opera
tion may bo Influenced by labor trusts seek
ing to prevent free men from selling their
only capital In the best market. "
Ho hastened to say after this remark that
by "labor trusts" ho did not refer to such
labor organizations as the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers or the Order of Rail
road Conductors and others of the same
kind , but to professional labor -agitators.
Jlr. TIsli advocited the fixation of rail
roads by 'taxing ' their grofo receipts , the
abolition of the ticket brokerage system
and the giving of passes.
Senator Mnllory "aSked If ItWas under
stood that value vv.ls lo be received when
passes Were Issued to members of congress ,
stale legislatures , etc.
"I have' been told that ouch Is the case , "
the witness replied , "but I don't know"
He said that the Interstate Commerce law
opened n loophole for the granting of pasoes
by making so many exceptions to the pro
hibition.
"I don't know , " ho said , "why a pass
should bp given 'lo ' a minister rather -than
a shoemaker , nojh do. business In the copi-
nimilty , and bqlh ; lo good there , possibly
the shoemaker the meat. It is a dlacrlmlna-
tlon. "
Mr. Fish said there was a commercial
necessity'for lower rates for exports than
for articles intended for domestic conBiiuip-
tlon , and that If not permitted to make this
difference the export buoincss.could not bo
held. Ho did , not 'believe In , government
ownership. It "would " be a bad day for the
| government and n good day for the railroad
' men If' the government should take charge
of the roads and ho did not think they
could be managed as cheaply by the govern
ment as under the present way.

LONDON , Oct. 21. The marquis of Dnt-
ferlti and A\a , commodore of thd Hoy.il
Ulster Yacht club , replying to n request bx
the Associated I'rosa for on expression , of
opinion legardlng the contest tor the
Alnirlcn's cup , telegraphed :
"I can only offer my waimcst congratula
tions to the jnchttng world cf America on
the sue oss of their ship. "
The Edinburgh Scotsman , commenting upon
the result , sajs : "No expert explanations
or excuses can alter the broad fact which
Impartial lavmen will rMognUc , that
Columbia has proved Itself to be the better
boat by winning three races off the reel.
American yacht bulldeis and yachtsmen arc
entitled to full credit for their success.
"The history of the conlpjt seams to show
that , however fine a boat Ilrltlsh designers
may produce , the Americans can go It ono
better. The ordeal of sailing acres * the
Atlantic mid racing In strange winds and
waters evidently constitutes a handicap that
Drills ! ] jachtsuicn do not full ) nppieclate. "
The Glasgow Herald , after congratulating
American yachts-men and thinking them for
the courtesy and good temper with which
the race was conducted , say * : "Tho Sham
rock had Its chance ) csteid-iy , but failed.
Fife followed up the ordess of Wntson with
the Valkyrlo 111. Ho will bring bick many
lessons which will bo turned to good account
In thu future. "
The Glasgow Moll gays : "Tho Americans
defended the cup fairly and squarely , and
Great Urltaln need not bo ashamed tj t > 3
called a nation of ehopkeepeis after the
chivalrous conduct of Sir Thomas Upton. "
The Glasgow Record observes "Thu third
and final defeat fell very Hat after the an
nouncement of the vlctii ) of British arms at
Glcncoe. Shamrock was the bett challenger
yet sent across. "
The Uelfast Northern Whig says : "We
should have been glad to win the race , but
the second beat thing Is to acknowlcdgo de
feat gracefully , until the next time , when
It may Htlll be hoped the positions may bo
reverted. "
The Belfast News-Letter says"What
ever else IH to bo suld , the contests for the

Wo failed , but only to try again. "
DUCHESS WRITES A NOVEL
le Mory ivlilch IN DCK-
tluiMl < o ArmiNi- Keen liilci-t-Ht
Wherever It Is Kciul ,
( Copyright , 1SCD , by Prebs Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Oct. 21. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telcgiam. ) The duches > s
of Sutherland's first novel , "One Hour nnd
the Next , " will be published Monday , and I
( who have a cop > ) predict It Is destined to
arousa keen Intel cst and controveisy , e\en
during the present war excitement. It Is an
autl-fcucinllat stoiy. KB purpose is to show-
that socialist theories are in advance of the
times , that the salvation of the working
classes must be worked out by gradual de
velopments , not by sudden changes.
The duchess' hero , Hotlcrt Lester , Is n
man of restless energy , wealth and educa
tion , who plunges Into the socialist propa
ganda as a means of distracting his mind
from the suffering of his beautiful but epi
leptic wife. He settles In a manufacturing
town ana stirs up strife between mastcro
and men , ending disastrously for the latter.
Ills secretary , Agnes Stainer , the school
master's handsome daughter , Ignotnnt of his
marrlngo , without any encouragement fall
In love with him. lie sees her Infatuation
and utilizes his Influence to enlist all her
energies in his agitation. She becomes more
frank In displaying her feelings , and , chiefly
owins to her encouragement , he kisses her.
Agnes' father witnesses the scene and In
dignantly intervenes. Lester's agitation has
failed and ho leaves , but Agnes learns of
his marriage. This stupefies her and the
story ends with her maddened disillusion
ment.
The story Is a somber , thoughtful , con
scientious essay against socialistic doctrine ,
It recalls somewhat Mrs. Humphrey Ward'e
"Mnrcolla , " wealing a close study of the
conditions of the working class nnd their
life and a marked tendency to dwell on the
miserable side of things , Painfully realistic
are the duchess' mluuto descriptions of Mrs.
Lester's epileptic seizures and the death
bed scene of a pathetic subsidiary character ,
Its style Is rather heavy and pretentious ,
Its dialogue to largely didactic , hut , though
without fascination , the work Is undoubtedly
clever.
