He docs not w ant to He considered as unfriendly to the administration, that not being his i i ment. hut he is still ojiposed to tin- idea of this aoaatry holding the I'hi!ii. ines and subjugating the natives. He is tirruly of the belief that we have no business in the islands. When the expansion Idea fired the country Mr. Sherman v as erit ii-Ned for his stand airainst a policy of conquest In the Philippines, and was called un
patriotic because he refused to see the nisdutn or justice of tnhigg " NUN eio of territory to w hieb we were not riphtIv entitled. Now, he thinks, there has been a revulsion of footing, rid in evidence af this he ment ions the r- ipt gf a number of letters from men gf high standing in public life who w. re at first
disposed to criticise him for his Philip

It can hardly he said that Mr. Sher

When Mr. 5herman say s he thinks the president has. come to the sober sec
ond thought and "is now dispovd to avoid further bloodshed in the islands
and will readily submit to any honora hie arranpement to the end of reestab
lisbliL'- i.eace. it should be taken as
wy a what Mr. Sherman thinks the president aujrht to do rather than what President
McKinley thinks about it himself. Mr. Sherman say s we have no moral ripht to cede the islands to another power, because thev do not belong to us. We have not even the ripht to claim the islands by conquest, because we have not conquered them. We have no more moral ripht to claim the Philippines than we have to claim Cuba, Wf cannot pnvern the Filipinos OOOOrding to our standards, bcenuse they have their own customs, habit, and laws and
have no sympathies in common with the Anplo-Savon. It will He impossible for us to hold them in subjection without lnre armies there, entailing an enormous expend it are of money. But what would Mr. Sherman have us do under present conditions? His idea is thai we should withdraw our troops, gradually or at once, and turn the islands BVr to the natives. "Instead of sending soldiers, let us send Btatestaen to the Philippines, men who
can assist the islanders to establish a substantial republican poverr.nient, with which we can easily secure trade treaties that will gtva us all the privileges and profits of possession without the responsibilities theieof. It might be well for this contitrv to hold a naval
station in the islam! of Luzon, but Aguinnldo is u Illing to give us that. He I would verv willingly form a close.
friendly alliance with this country and concede every reasonable privilege MM in ' -.-lit nsk for." When President McKinley reads thii ' opinion of his former secretary of state he will undoubtedly conpratulate himself that the venerable statesman is neither in the eahtBCt nor in the senate. Were he still chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs, the proposed joint resolut Ion declaring the purpose of the United States to hold the Philippines would strike a snap in the committee room.

Ii.wa, South Dakota and Kansa results are passed over with brief paragraphs as not of leading importance. On Nebraska he says: "The Nebraska rampalKn wa fought on national Issues and the f u!on candidate for Jude r c. iv. d about 14.""' this year. s against 3,oo0 last ytar for the fusion candidate for novernor and 12,00 for the fusion electors In WJ6 and the fu-bin candidate for

That the root nt i li etinn enrried with it a severe c iiiilemnat ion of imperialism is evident to all intelligent people, and claims to Che contrary on the part
