The devil Is never so defiant as when he comes in the garb of a priest, with a Bible In his hand and a text on his tongue, to enlist in his service the people who mean well and who do hit bidding in the name of faith and fatherland." George C. Mercer, of Philadelphia, made an rtddres on "President McKlnley." Professor Shorey, of the Chicago University, also spoke. COCKIIAVS ORATION.

Tbe Hon. W. Iloarkf Oppote Retention of the Philippines. CHICAGO. Oct. IS. The anti-Imperialist meeting came to a close to-night. Hon. IJourke Cockran, of New York, delivering the oration of the evening. Music Hall was filled and the remarks of the orator were Erected with approval by those present. Mr. Cockran based his objection to the policy of the government on the broad ground that one people had no right to force a government on another. He discussed the question In a dispassionate manner, claiming that there were many reasons why the United States should held the islands, but no reason why it should attempt to force upon any people a form of government to which that people objected. The conference adjourned at the conclusion of Mr. Coekran's address, those In charge of the meeting expressing themselves as delighted with the success of the affair. Mr. Cockran'a address -was,- in part, as follows: Vlh dealing with the fruits of the late war, then, two courses are open to us. One, the old course nf treating our success as an opportunity to wrest from the conquered foe the utmost ho can be made to yield; the other, to establish a new standard of Justice in the dealings of nations with each other by refusing to accept either tribute or territory for ourselves and by making. In the conditions of peace, provision for improving the conditions of men. If, on the ' other hand, we conclude to accept no other reward than the establishment of free and beneficent governments In the territories wrested from Spain, we will show that we 'did not take up arras for conquest or plunder, hut for Justice and humanity. The President proclaiming such a policy so novel and so enlightened would take a place In history as distinct and conspicuous as that of Abraham Lincoln, while this country vould acquire a moral Influence among nations unprecedented and unparalleled. "The example Of a great conutry, redeeming at the close of a fucccssful war the profession with which It was begun risking the lives and treasure of its citizens for no other purpose than the rescue of a suffering 'people from Intolerable oppression would produce such an effect on the world that it would be difficult for any other country to make war for a baser purpose. It would be an inspiring answer to the universal aspirations for peace which brought Into existence the recent conference at The Hague. NOT TOO LATE. "Our Eastern complications prevented us from rendering a priceless service to humanity and gaining unmeasurable glory for ourselves at The Hague, but that opportunity Is by no means lost. The policy of civilization and humanity may still be adopted by the American people, even if the President fall to imitate it, aye, even If he should oppose it. Indeed, the glory of establishing ourselves in the primacy of civilization will be increased, not lessened, if It be achieved by the people themselves in spite of the officers who control our government. T do not say this through a desire to make any Issue with the executive. I repeat that the purpose of thl3 conference Is to promote unanimity, not to aggravate division. Whatever we may think of the President's action, it appears only fair to admit that the policy to which he appears Inclined and which we condemn casts the only shadow of doubt on his own political prospects, ii the issues of the next elec tlon were confined to tho preservation of existing economic conditions. I don't think any man "doubts his campaign would have been a triumphal march to success. What ever doubt now clouds the result he has himself created, and however this may affect our, opinion of his prudence, it should be accepted as a proof of good faith. "We all agree that our promise to estab lish an Independent government In Cuba, which accompanied and Justified the decia ration of war with Spain, should be re- , spected. Jieyond this some hold that the spirit of our pledge forbids us to turn that war to any purpose or conquest whatever, while others appear to think that our prom ise with regard to Cuba is the only limita tlon on our right to use our success for territorial aggrandizement. "However men may differ as to our policy , now. I do not think anybody can fairly dispute the sincerity of Congres3 in declaring that the war was not undertaken for con- . quest, but for humanity. Nobody at that time anticipated that any other question "would arise from it than tho disposition of Cuba. It Is quite true also that Dewey's victory in Majilla and the subsequent cap- ' ture of the town introduced a new feature in the problem which greatly aggravated the difficulties of its solution. Had the United States withdrawn from the Island at the conclusion of hostilities, leaving the natives and the Spanish to decide the question of Kjverelgnty between them, we would have been entirely within our rights as a civilized power and we would have taken the easiest pathway to domestic tranquillity. On the other hand, it is said that, having accepted tho aid of the Filipinos in our operations against Manila, there would, have been an element of perfidy in abandoning them to their own resources after Spain' had granted our own demands. However this may be. the cession of the Philippine islands -by Spain to the United States? is an accomplished fact, irrevocable and therefore beyond discussion.

fronts us now Is the course which we should pursue to them. THE GROUND OF DIFFERENCE. "If we begin by eliminating from the discourse all tho?e features on which everybody Is agreed we will probably find the field of controversy sensibly narrowed. In the first place nobody contends that, as an original enterprise, the conquest of the Philippines would have been desirable or defensible. Nor, so far as I know, does anybody assert that our armies should be withdrawn without first providing for some stable form of government. If we went there reluctantly and if we cannot leave immediately it follows that our authority must be maintained In the Philippines. for a while at least. The ground of difference then Is confined to the duration of our authority and the manner of maintaining It while it lasts. "Since the conclusion of the treaty of poace no one of recognized authority has declared the policy of our government on the question. Indeed, in the absence of Congress there Is no power to declare.it. We are not opposing any policy, but protesting against the absence of a policy. The sent'ments expressed by the President are your sentiments and mine In the abstract, yet we are shocked by the bullets and bayonets which accompany them in the concrete. The President says our flag stands in the Philippines for the same principles of government that it typifies here. If that is so we are at one with him. The flag stands here for self-government; does It stand for self-government there? Is It proposed to make these Islands territories of the United States, the inhabitants citizens, with a citizen's right to go freely from ona part of the Union to another? If so, an entirely new question Is presented, on which entirely new lines of division would arise. On that question this conference would divide against Itself, and I am quita pure that the President's present supporters would be rent In twain. "The demand for the cession of the Philippines was Justified by the statement that we were bound to rescue them from the oppression of Spain and hold them until they had shown their capacity to govern themselves. "Nobody would question the right of the President to hold the Philippines until a stable government can be established. On the contrary, I think every one would aid him to fix a satisfactory test of their capacity to govern themselves and to maintain order in the meantime. "We are told that it would be cowardly to treat with these inhabitants while they have arms In their hands, and that we would be discredited In the eyes of the world If we disarmed them by justice and kindness rather than by bullets and by steel. Nobody doubts our capacity to subJugate these islands. The Filipinos themselves do not dispute It. They do not deny that we can exterminate them; they only deny that we can subjugate them. CANNOT PERPETRATE A WRONG. "This country has become great because

of the Justice which has always governed her. There is one thing, and only one, which this Nation Is not strong enough to do, and that is to perpetrate a wrong. There Is but one force of which thi3 country stands in awe. and that is its own conscience. This country Is familiar with diffi culties She has often faced them. She has never known remorse, and with the blessing of God she never will. "It is said that Aguinaldo is a savage. I do not know whether he is a savage or not. but I do know that certain documents emanating from his government, of which he is the reputed author, indicate not merely civilization, but a high degTee or. intellectual culture. And I say, moreover, that whatever he may be, it does not lie in the mouth of this Nation to impeach his civilization or his capacity to make war. If he be a savage, then we have made alliance with a savage to war on a Christian people, and our own position as a civilized rower is impeached. It was by our act that he was landed at Manila. "When we nrotest against the forcible seizure of territory as a violation of the Declaration of Independence we are told that Jefferson himself violated it. This statement ia not true, but if it were it would not answer the objection. Louisiana was purchased as an act of necessity, and the law of seJf-preservatlon Justifies every measure. Our Mississippi commerce had been so hampered by the vexatious restric tions imnosed bv the authorities of New Orleans thait it had been proposed in the Senate to seize the land forcibly. Jeffer son undertook to secure It peacefully, and In the course of his negotiations he found it necessary to take the whole territory of TvniiKlana. This turned OUt to be an in calculable benefit, and St is a benefit which can be enjoyed without the slightest taint of injustice at its source. "If there were no other objections to this policy of conquest it would be enough to say that It involved me existence vi standing armv. Barbarism places men's hands at each others' throats in destruc tion: civilization employs them on .the bosom of the earth In production. Men are civJlizpd to the extent that they can dis pense with arms. The soldier, whether in barracks or In the camp, is withdrawn from the fields of industry. His own hands add nothing to the product or tne country. His pay and his sustenance must, therefor h drawn from the product of others. The laborer is the whole producer. On him must fall the whole cost of a military establishment. And this standing army im poses upon each laborer the burden of supporting; two men himself and a soldier. "We are here this evening to protest against an attempt to replace the ancient American policy of peace and morality by a nollcv of Imperialism involving me ex istence of a standing army to menace liberty and oppress labor, because we want this country to remain the land where the whole product of the soil is distributed among the toilers who create It; where the patriotic workman who produces is more honored than the paid fighting man who destroys: where the laborer's dinner pall is a higher badge of dignity than the soldier's knapsack; where the enduring glory of Justice is cherisnea ana tne vain giory nf eonauest despised: where the flag which typifies freedom and the Constitution which secures justice enshrined in the hearts, sustained by the arms, glorified by the memories of a free people, shall remain invincible, indestructible, inseparable iorever." STEAMING HIS ARM. Jeffries In Trying; to Get In Shape for the Sharker Battle. NEW YORK, Oct. 18. Jame J. Jeffries came to New York to-day from Asbury Park and his lime arm was steamed. This trentmrnt will have to be Kent up for a week and the champion will not be able to do active training until It Is finished. The fclsf fellow rose with the sun and reached New York at 7:20 o'clock. He went dlrectlv to the doctor's office. The steaming pro cess occupied thirty minutes. The effects are very pleasing, and Jeffries declared the injured member felt much better after the operation. Jeffries will not rest absolutely. The road and track work will be kept up and a certain amount of exercise will be given to the uninjured arm. Pnffllist Guilty of Manslaughter. PAR K ERSBURG, W. Va., Oct. IS.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ZIONSVILLE, Ind.. Oct. 18. The family of Major B. M. Gregory who died July 15, to-day returned to Grenada, Miss., a Confederate flag, captured by Major Gregory, of the Tenth Indiana Volunteers, at the bat tle of Mill Spring, Ky., Jan. 19, 1862, thus carrying out the wishes of Major Gregory and the regiment respecting the disposition of the flag, after his death. A description of the capture of the ,flag may be briefly toid In Major Gregory's own words, in a speech at a reunion of his regiment, the Tenth Indiana, at Lebanon, Sept. 19, ISO 4. as follows: 'You remember, boys, of the severe fight ing at Logan's fields on the morning of Jan. 19, 1S62, and the defeat and utter rout of the enemy, and the pursuit ten miles to their fortifications on this side of the Cumberland river, and how we lay on our arms that night expecting hard fighting the next morning. And at break of day you remem ber how our artillery poured shot and shell Into their works, both on this side an4 over the river, how they fired their steamer. which they had used during the night in making their escape, and how they went pell mell and left everything. And how we rushed over their works finding them deserted and how we rushed down the bluffs to the Cumberland river to find It a rush ing torrent and no means of crossing In pur suit, in a snort time, nowever, some -one found a little old canoe. I Jumped into It with a board for a paddle, and Colonel Manson and captain Carroll got in. We finally succeeaea in landing on the other shore, where we found wagonloads of officers irunns ana outnts. Arter looking around a little I thought I would steal a march on Colonel Manson by climbing the bluffs to tno lortincations, believing that if there were any rebels there they would surrender to the first officer that appeared, so I climbed up the bluffs alone. Comrades, you that were there remember how abrupt and commanding they were. As I approached tne top l discovered this flag, and no rebels appearing to surrender I seized the flaer and ran down to Colonel Manson, holding out tne nag for his Inspection. He took it. iooKea ai it ana commented on it, saying it w u g-tonous capture.

MOBBED WITH AMMONIA

FAITH HEALER DOWIE BOMBARDED BV CHICAGO MEDICAL STUDENTS. Audience Routed by the Fumes of tbe Chemical Police Clubs Used to Clear Away the Rioters. CHICAGO, Oct. IS. Dr. John A. Dowie, the alleged "Divine healer" and professed foe of the medical profession, attempted to lect'ire to-night In "Zlon Tabernacle," at Madison and Pauline streets, on "Doctors, Drugs and the Devil." Mr. Dowie had announced that he wished 10,000 medical students would attend the exercises. The lec ture hall Is located close to several large medical colleges, and the students accepted the invitation with the greatest enthusiasm. Only one-fourth of the number called for by Dr. Dowie was present, but they sufficed. Twenty-five hundred students gathered at Wood and Harrison streets and marched to the tabernacle. Every student was provided with small bottles of nitrite of ammonia and hydro-sulphurate of ammonia, with which they Intended to bombard Dowia when he began his address.-The police had, however, learned of the plan and thirty officers were placed In front of the hall. When the crowd of students reached the hall and saw their way barred by the police they scattered along the street, and emitted college yells that were heard several blocks away. As the carriage containing Dowie appeared the alleged healer was greeted with yells and a shower of missiles. In a few instances stones were used and ammonia by the pint was thrown into the carriages. Guarded by the ponce and dodging the missiles. Dowie was driven to the door of the hall, where he was dragged through the throng by half a dozen officers. The students were forced back by the police, but managed to hurl enough bottles of ammonia into the ball to force the waiting audience to rush for the outer air. To the few who remained Dowie made his talk, but it was a very mild affair compared to the harangues he frequently bestows upon the medical profession. Bottles of ammonia were hurled through the open windows, and when the -windows were closed the glass was smashed with stones and the tide of ammonia flowed steadily in. The students made a determined effort to mob Dowie as he left the hall, and the police were forced to use their clubs vigorously to force a passage for him. Several students were arrested and taken to the police station with difficulty, their companions making determined efforts for their rescue. FIGHT IN NATAL. (Concluded from First Page.) will probably be used in armored train defense by the garrison. "General Cronje, after warning the women and children to leave Mafeklng, opened flre on the town with cannon this (Sunday) afternoon. No response was made. '"After a few shots were fired at Mafeklng the white flag was hoisted. A Boer party bearing a flag of truce was sent to inquire whether the town surrendered. No definite reply was received. The Boer messenger was detained for six hours and then released. "The Boers repulsed a small force of Cape mounted police near Barkely West, near Cape Colony, capturing two. "In spite of the severe strain, the health of President Kruger continues good. "The first batch of military prisoners is expected here this evening." "Gen. Jan H. M. Kock, second in command of the Boer forces, is still at Ingogo. He has cannon commanding Hothas and Linnet passes and has cut the railway be tween Dundee and De Jaager's drift. Sev eral Transvaal commandoes are moving toward tho Biggaraburg mountains, to the south of Glencoe. The telegraph superintendent at Heidelburg, Transvaal, reports that on Sunday night a balloon passed over Nlgat in the direction of Standerton." From Lorenzo Marquez, Dalagoa bay, the following dispatches were received to-day: "The Volksten, the Boer official organ at Pretoria, gives the following account of the occupation of the British camp at Ramathlabama, just north of Mafeklng: The British camp at Ramathlabama has been captured and sacked by General Cronje, after severe fighting. Many burghers were killed or wounded. The British loss is not known. The Volksten adds that success has thus far everywhere attended the burghers, although It admits that in the various skirmishes near Mafeklng and at other points the Boer casualties number some sixty or seventy killed and wounded. "The last of the leading Randites and managers of the gold fields and that of the Eckstein, Robinson and Champ d'Or mines, together with. a body of engineers, arrived here to-day. They report- that they were searched for gold at tho frontier by the Boers. "A representative of the Transvaal government has arrived here and is buying up ail the provisions obtainable. "One hundred and thirty persons just released from the Barberton jail, Transvaal, have been put over the Portuguese border." Acccordlng to a special dispatch from Durban, Natal, the Zulus are arming with assegais. Chief Dinizulu says he is unable to restrain them. It is expected they will be joined by the Swaizels. Ladysmith, Natal, reports that the native tribe of Barolongs, under Chief Wessels, Is said to be co-operating in the defense of Mafeklng, undertaking outpost duty. It isreported at Ladysmith that dysentery and desertion are prevalent in General Cronje's command. A native tribe In Zululand, whose cattle had been raided by Boers, applied to General Sir George Stewart White, the British commander in Natal, for permission to make armed resistance. General White refused the request, as he is opposed to the use of colored auxiliaries in the coming struggle. WAR OFFICE3 STATES! EXT. Engagement Expected Detween Ladysmith and the Pass?. LONDON, Oct. R-The War Office has Issued the following statement: "News has been received from General Sir George Stewart White, commanding in Natal, that the anticipated movement of Boer forces across the Drakensburg already reported from several quarters was likely to be continued on Oct. 17. in which case some of them might be expected to arrive at Boaan bank that night and probably to come into contact with our cavalry between Ladysmith and the passes of Dra kens burg. "On the north the Boer forces from In gagane are advancing, accompanied by a few batteries of artillery. "On the Buffalo river the Boers from Vryburg are moving towards Vants and Eorkea drifts. Our cavalry remain In ob servation and report movements In the Orange Free State. The Basutos are said to manifest an attitude hostile to the Boers, and they may neutralize a certain number of the Boer forces." A new and serious element in the mill tary situation Is the rising of the warlike tribe of Basutos; under Chief McIIoko, against the Orange Free State. The Brit lsh must keep the Baeutos quiet, and the paramount chief has thus far behaved well. Reports are current, however, that the other chiefs may follow the example of Mclioko. Moreover, the unrest among the tribesmen is spreading Into Zuzuland. Advices from Pretoria, summarizing the reports to the Transvaal government from General Cronje, in command of the chief laager, on the west side, announce that the Marico and Rustenberg commandoes. with field telegraph, occupied Burmann's drift near the outskirts of Mafeklng on Uonday and took possession cf a fountain

In the neighborhood, thus cutting off the water supply of the town. The Boer artillery then began shelling, but the British did not reply. A Boer account of the skirmish with the British armored train south of Kimberley Fays: "The train came upon the burghers while they were destroying the railroad. The burghers tired upon the train with Mausers, and subsequently with artillery. The third shot hit a truck and the train then steamed off. after which the burghers continued the work of destroying the line." Another dispatch from Pretoria says that the burghers have occupied Taungs, south of Mafeklng, and Lobatsi, to the northward, without opposition. With regard to Xorvalspont It appears that the Cane railway officials destroyed th3 bridge on their line on the Orange Free SMte side and then abandoned the station. A dispatch from Durban. Natal, says that refugees who arrived there yesterday (Tuesday) from Pretoria declare that the Boers' Transvaal canital admitted a Boer repulse at Mafeklng. eight bnrgners neing Kiuea and a number wounded. All mepsages to and from South Africa are subjected to scrutiny at Aden. m CECIL RHODES. He Has Founded nn Empire, and Oom Pnul Hnt? Htm. New York Letter in Philadelphia Press. Perhaps Oom Paul Kruger knows, and: perhaps he does not. Just how much his personal hatred for Cecil Rhodes influenced him when he flung his ultimatum in England's face and practically declared for war just when all things were making hope fully for peace. "That murderer." Is Oom Paul s gentlest word In speaking of Rhodes, when, indeed, he can so far overcome his loathing for the man as to refer to him at all. Next to religious fervor the predominating senti ment In Oom raul's mind is hatred for this grand Englishman, who towers as a colossus among his countrymen In South Africa, just as Oom Paul towers a master pplrit among the Boers there. When In 1S71 Cecil Rhodes's health gave way and he was obliged to leave college, he consulted a physician, who told him he must go to a milder climate. He was a methodical old doctor, and in his private memorandum of the case he Vrote as a footnote: "Cannot live six months." He was a thin-faced, lanky lad of eighteen years then, with dull eyes. His countenance did not suggest intelligence and indicated nothing of force. That was only twentyeight years ago. Now he is the diamond king, the gold king, the railroad builder, the multi-millionaire among multi-millionaires. In his private humdrum capacity, in his public capacity lw is the founder of a vast empire, a statesman who in Gladstone's time was counted second only to the Grand Old Man himself, since Gladstone's death counted second to none in all the vast British dominions for relentless force and sheer weight of personal power. "It ia no use for us to have big ideals.' said Rhodes, once in conversation with his friend. Chinese Gordon, "unless we have money to carry them out." That scnitment was the keynote of his early career in South Africa. He had blj ideals and he needed a colossal fortune to carry them out. So he went and got the colossal fortune, just as a carpenter would go and get his tools to do a piece of work. His one ideal, around which all other ideals centered, was a vast United States of South Africa. His dream was a compact fedcrated nation like the United States of America. He stood first and above all things for the right of the governed to a voice in the government. No taxation without representation. No rule of an oligarchical ring are the cries with which he has made South Africa ring until they culminated in the demands for representation which made' Oom Paul throw down the gauntlet. How thoroughly he Is Imbued with American Ideas he is constantly showing in his utterances, private and public. When the home rule agitation was going on in England he exclaimed, impatiently, "Why don't they go and read the Constitution of the United States Instead of speculating on this and doubting about that? There is no speculation or doubt about it. Home rule is not an experiment. It has been worked out and solved in the United States for more than a hundred years." Another time, commenting on the vilification that was being poured in the English papers on South African ambitions and on him personally, he said: "That is the sort of talk that led to Bunker Hill. I am loyal. The Cape is loyal. But continued injustice and misrepresentation will alienate the most loyal. If England interferes with us well, the United States of South Africa is not an ill-sounding name." . As to his wealth, it Is up somewhere among those prodigious figures where a million or so does not matter either way. Some place it at $75,000,000 and some at $150,000, 000, and a figure between the two Is probably about right. It is impossible for those who see him now to think of him as ever having been a weakling, sent abroad to die. He is six feet one inch tall in his shoes, and heavy and muscular in proportion. His appetite is a marvel. His gray eyes, pomewhat sunken In their orbits, have an almost melancholy expression, in curious contrast with the bold resolution of the other features. In speech Rhodes la simple and direct and in manner frank. He has waged several tierce wars with native and he is building a railway and telegraph line from Cairo to the Cape, to say nothing of the lines he has built in the Cape country itself. He has founded an empire, and he Is but forty-six years old. THE CITY OF DIAMONDS. Description of the Tluce Where Precious Stones Are Mined. New York Tribune. The city, or, rather, the settlement, of KImberley, 647 miles by rail from Cape Town, which current developments have made the center of Interest in the South African war, is a city of the desert. It could never have existed except for the dis covery of rich deposits of diamonds In its vicinity in 1S67. Now it has a population close upon 30,000, most of whom, however. are colored, comprising a large number of full-blooded natives, who are employed In the diamond mines. West Griqualand, on the western borders of the Orange Free State, was. In fact, a country of half-breeds until, upon the discovery of the diamond deposits, it was ceded to Great Britain. The Grlquas, called by the Dutch-speaking Inhabitants "Baas tards." are of mlx?d origin, partly Dutch and partly Kaffir, or Hottentot. It was on tfce Colesburg kop, or hill, that the first dia mond In South Africa was found. In 1870 the famous diamond mines were fairly discovered, and from that time on the growth of KImberley began and continued with a rapidity hardly surpassed by any of the Western boom towns of this country. Its name, given to it in honor of the Karl of KImberley, who was then the lirltlsh secretary of state for the colonies, is shared with it by one small village in England and by three towns or stations and one gold field in Australia. The earl took his title from the old English village, and his admirers passed it on to the Australian and South African settlements, through which the world mostly knows it. Although, not unhealthy. KImberley has never been called a pleasant place of residence by any one who has visited It. Situated in the barren, brown Karoo desert, at an elevation of more than feet above the sea level. Its attractions lie beneath the surface. What trees are to be seen there have been planted by the settlers. Its water supply Is derived from the Vaal river, which gives its name to the Transvaal Republic. The town is lighted entirely by electricity, and at the present time is vigorously and successfully policed, though in the early days of its existence it,- like other mining towns, was the scene of constant crime and disorder. . .

(Concluded from Flmt rase.) that I may say that I appreciate more than I am able to express the very heartfelt greeting that the people of Youngstown have accorded me on the occasion of this visit. I have traveled a long distance throughout the country, meeting the people at every station through eight or nine States, meeting them In great assemUagei like the one that is before me to-night and everywhere I have gone there has been the the same manifestation of kindly feeling, one toward another, of general good will and of lofty patriotism. i "The country everywhere is prosperous. The Idle mills of three years ago have been opened, the fires have been rebuilt and heart and hope have entered the homes of tho pcopJe. For that I feel like extending to all of you sincere and hearty congratula tions. The government of the United States. your government, the great machinery ot administration is going on well. We are collecting, every working day of every month, $l,600,0w, which goes Into the publio treasury to pay the current expenses of the government and the extraordinary expenses occasioned by the war. One million of that sixteen hundred thousand cornea from internal revenue, largely upon spirits and tobacco, and the other six hundred thousand comes from a tariff which you know all about here, put upon foreign products that come into the United States for consumption. I do not think any of you feel very seriously either form of taxation. None of you seem to be suffering because of that large sum dally flowing Into the public treasury. While that sum Is flowing into the treasury wages are flowing Into tha pockets of labor and profits ere rewarding capital. "Sot only are our financial affairs In good condition, fer we have fcS6.0u0.O0Q In gold now in the treasury belonging to the government, but we are at peace with every nation of the world. We are In close friendly relations with every great power on earth and with the email powers of the earth. Never was there more amity and good feeling and good-fellowship existing between the United States and other nations of the world than to-day. We aro having a little trouble, it Is true, In the Philippines. That we could not help. The Philippines are our. The men whom wo emancipated from slavery, the men to whom we brought liberty, a fraction of a single tribe in a single Island of the great archipelago, the very men emancipated assailed the flag, and the soldiers of the United States are carrying It on that Island. and nothing Is left for us to do tut put down that rebellion great applause) and that we propose to do renewed applause), and. In my Judgment, it will not last long. "As I said. -that territory is ours. It la ours Just as fully as any foot of territory in the United States. There Is no Haw in our title. Openly made was the treaty ot peace, openly ratified by the Senate of the United States, openly and publicly confirmed by the House of Representatives and It ptands to-day the territory of the Union, and as long as it is our territory the sovereignty of the United States' must be supreme.
