Senator Spooner’s full speech on the Philippines bill and defense of the army, as it appears in the Congressional Record, is a masterpiece as an argument, and a denunciation ofthose statesmen who have’ damned the whole American army for the individual acts of soldiers, infuriated by acts of native treachery, torture and butchery.

The man who is caged in or cooped up Gay after day without sufficient exercise is sure to suffer for it. Quite often the nyer is the first organ which becomes disordered, and constipation, biliousness sick headache and general physical torpor make life miserable. There’s only one way to deal with liver "trouble ’’ and that is to go to the root of the disease and cure it once for all. Such cures of the disordered or diseased liver almost always follow the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis«-overy. It always helps. It almost always cures. It regulates the liver, strengthens the stomach and purifies the blood. * . _"P r - Pjfrce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best, medicine made,” writes Michael Maher cf UttleftHs, N. Y.

Cuba has been christened with Uncle Sam for a godfather and the American Goddess of Liberty for a godmother. Here’s to the infant Republic’s new career!

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson stated in a recent speech that the market of the .Mississippi Valley is the best market in the world for American manufacturers, and he added that the markets which irrigation would create in the west would be of the same class.

Mr. Nixon, who succeeded Croker as Tammany leader, it seems must be a decent, self-respecting Democrat. He proposed a somewhat honest administration of Tammany, and the next announcement was that he was out on the sidewalk. That rotten organization is now being run by a triumvirate—three of Croker’s lieutenants.

Mr. Bryan suggests five Tennesseeans as available Democratic presidential candidates. Among them is Senator Carmack, whose red hair and attacks on the army and the flag have made him conspicuous on the floor of the Senate. Tennessee Democrats should get together at once, however, and decide upon a general candidate from among these five, as, of course, only one of them can be elected this time.

The Washington Post has been a consistent devotee of the opinion that Cuba cannot stand alone. It now comments with considerable chuckling upon the report to the effect that while some Cubans were celebrating independence, a dynamite bomb was thrown into their midst, wounding eleven of them. The Post had ex pected just this sort of thing and says: “Things are moving, however, a little more briskly than we had expected, but no matter —the upshot was never for a moment in the slightest doubt.” The attention of the esteemed Post is respectfully called to the fact that where dynamite is used there can be no upshot. The force of a dynamite explosion is always downward.

The state platform gives considerable attention to state affairs. This is commendable. It is a matter of supreme importance that Indiana should be well governed—supreme to Indiana citizens, at least. There is an honest commendation of Governor Durbin’s policy, an endorsement of the non-partisan management of the state’s institutions, and a demand that the wise, conservative, Republican financial administration shall he continued. It is a demand throughout for a continuance of business methods in the administration of the state’s affairs, for business men in control of the ship of state, for business accuracy in conducting the state transactions and business economy and business progressiveness in all the affairs of Indiana.—Logansport Journal.

The last blow has been struck to silver and Mr. Bryan, and it lias been delivered, too, by “Uncle Bill” Stewart, of Nevada, who was a silver man, and has been a silver supporter, advocating free silver in and out of season, since the days when Mr Bryan, was toddling around in dresses. In the Senate the other day, Senator Stewart touched on the silver question, digressing for a moment from the Philippines bill. He said that since the time, six years ago, when he was so strongly urging free silver, there have been added 14 or 15 hundred million dollars of new gold to the country’s stock. This, he says, has brought good times. Before this there was not money enough, and the millions were suffering. “But when,” he said,” we got relief by the output of gold then I was not "Vool enough to follow up a dead issue. The issue of silver is dead, so far as the United States is concerned.”

Senator Stewart followed up his little digression in his speech in the Senate, to the effect that silver was dead, by stating that he thought the Democratic opposition to the Philippines bill most unwarranted. The Democrats were the most anxious for the war; they ratified the treaty of Paris, now they cry abandonment of the islands. “Where the American flag is planted and has been watered by the blood of brave men, it will stay,” he said, “and not be hauled down. Do not intimate such a thing ! The party that intimates the pulling down of that flag under the circumstances in which it is floating in the Philippines will be repudiated by the American people. I hope that no one will make such a suggestion. Some senators on the other side have been already apologizing for such an ex pression, and I am glad to hear it. Our army should be free from such attacks as we have heard here. Sugges-1 tions for the improvement of the hill 1 are in order, but suggestions that the j American flag shall be hauled down in ‘ the Philippines under these circum- j stances will be repudiated by all ' patriotic men, North and South. It is not a ladder on which to climb into office.” 1

AMERICA’S MISSION IN THE PHILIPPINES

By Senator Charles W. Fairbanks

of Indiana

There has been considerable debate as to whether the constitution follows the flag. No matter how diverse and conflicting our opinions may be upon this subject, there is one opinion which we all entertain, and that is that, the American schoolhouse follows the flag. The transports which carried our soldiers into the Philippines also carried our school-teachers, until today there are some 835 American teachers distributed through 550 towns in the Philippines, and nearly “four thousand Filipinos ijre employed as elementary teachers.” Governor Taft says that the normal school at Manila was attended by 750 Filipino teachers and that “there is great enthusiasm on the part of the teachers in studying English and in preparing themselves.” The people of the Philippines are generally uneducated. Perhaps less than 8 per cent can read and write in any language. Fortunately, they evince a commendable desire for an education, and, I believe, we shall find in the magic of the schoolroom a potential influence working for the advancement of civilization, good order, and civil government in the Philippines. We do not find here any evidence of that imperialistic purpose which seems to disturb the imagination of our patriotic friends in opposition. What We Have Accomplished. When we came into possession the islands we found much need for the improvement of harbors, the construction of roads, the improvement of municipalities, for Spain, during her centuries of control, had done little toward the betterment of the conditions in the islands. We.have been carrying forward the work in an American way so as to promote the health, the commerce, and the prosperity of the people. While Spain, in 1896, appropriated nothing for public Improvements, our commission has already appropriated 51,000,000 for the Improvement of public roads, and a like amount for the improvement of Manila harbor. The public revenues have been faithfully collected and intelligently and conservatively administered, so that there is today in the insular treasury a surplus of about $5,000,000. " During the fiscal year 1901 the revenues of the islands amounted to $lO,817,662.31, and the expenditures were $6,763,821.68, leaving a surplus for the year of $4,053,840.63. This is certainly a most creditable exhibit. The surplus does not go into our treasury, but is to be devoted to making improvements in the islands—to the construction of much-needed works, long neglected by Spain. Our Record in Porto Rico. We invite the attention of our friends to what we have accomplished in Porto Rico for the advancement of the principles of republican government and for the promotion of the welfare of the inhabitants of that island. We heard much criticism a few months ago of our legislation with respect to that Island and its people, and the country was for a time deeply stirred, fearing that we were ignoring and subverting the doctrines for which

J our forefathers stood. It is a gratifying and reassuring fact, indeed, that the people are so sensitive of the national honor and that they will not readily sanction any supposed breach of it. The storm which raged with intensity for a time subsided in due course and the Integ- ’ rity and beneficence of our action are now beyond challenge. Porto Rico is enjoying a measure of republican government which is entirely new to her and is blessed with an unprecedented measure of prosperity. We are attempting to do in the Philippines, under greater embarrassment, precisely what we have been doing in Porto Rico, and If we will but persei vere in the right and have confidence in each other’s patriotic and humane purposes similar results will doubti less follow. Our Purpose in the Philippines. I supported the treaty of Paris with a full consciousness of what its ratiflj cation involved. I realized fully that : grave responsibilities would rest upon us by the cession of the Philippines. I did not support the treaty because of the material or commercial possibilities which the islands might afford our citizens. I have not been able to bring myself to the consideration of our duty in the islands from the standpoint of their commercial advantages to us, no matter how considerable they may be. I have from the beginning put our duty upon a higher plane. The obligation to care for and protect those who, through one of the great evolutions of human history have been committed to us, has seemed to me always to be our paramount duty. It does not matter to me whether the Philippines have gold in abundance or forests of rare and valuable woods, or fields of unexcelled fertility, or ports filled with a large commerce present or prospective. The supreme question with me, as with an overwhelming majority of the American people, has been and is that question which concerns our duty to men and to humanity. Question One of Human Rights. While we are a nation of tremendous commercial activities and untoid wealth, they are not our greatest glory, nor are they the controlling factors in determining our national duty. The questiqps of human rights and human liberty are the potential questions which have summoned our mightiest armies and have assembled our fleets and stirred our country to the utmost depths. It was not gold nor the dream of empire that summoned us in from the fields of peace to the theater of war. It was not the thought of territorial aggrandizement which led the American congress in the exercise of its exalted constitutional power to declare war against Spain. It was not the lust for mere martial victory for which 250,000 of the flower of the youth of the land left the vocations of peace and went down to the battlefields of the republic. No, not that. But be it said in honor and praise of the great republic that it was to overthrow the power of tyranny and to give to the oppressed children of men’ the privileges of republican government. Responsibility for Bloodshed. Whoever says that the course of the administration and the Republican majority in congress is inspired by the sordid and ungenerous motives grossly misjudges men. Aid of the government in its effort to maintain the laws wherever its jurisdiction extends and wherever it is assailed is not censurable, it is not criminal, and it never will be. Opposition to the efforts of the government to assert its lawful authority has never been regarded with favor. We erect no monuments to commemorate the efforts, no matter how earnestly and honestly they may have been rendered, of those who put themselves in the pathway of national duty and national progress. Blood has, indeed, been shed, but it has been shed in an effort to establish the lawful .authority of the government in territory which indisputably belongs to it by virtue of the law. I regret most sincerely that blood has been shed, but I am gratified to know that it is slot upon our hands. The Folly of Opposition. So long as a vestige of insurrection remains in the islands, opposition in this country means an increase in the death list of our soldiers and seamen. It means an increase of the money required to support the army and navy; it means an increase in the pension roll; it means hindrance in building up the waste places in the islands and in the establishment of civil government. Granted that such opposition springs from exalted motives, and I do not question it for a moment, we can only regret that there are those who so erroneously, though honestly, read their national duty. The suggestion that our attitude is governed by “the greed for gain and the lust for power” is unfounded and ungenerous. Our responsibility came unsought and without any desire whatever for the extension of our commercial dominion. All parties recognize that we are under certain obligations and dirties which we cannot rightfully or honorably abandon. We are in the Philippines, and must continue there, in the discharge of our. solemn duty. All parties seem in -accord as to this. The divergence of opinion is with respect only to a proclamation as to the length, of our stay. A Program of Progress. 1 Our present duty in the Philippines may be stated concretely thus: First, : put down all insurrection and compel recognition of American sovereignty:

second, establish schools and educate the people; third, promote public improvements, construct highways for the ready intercommunication of the people of the islands, improve harbors for the accommodation of commerce; fourth, erect municipal, provincial and insular governments, modeled, so far as possible after our republican institutions, and as rapidly as is practicable admit the Filipinos into the administration of their own affairs. These are a few of the vital objects to which we are addressing ourselves and which will engage our attention indefinitely. The Nation’s Moral Duty. We find in what the government has accomplished in the Philippines much to commend. We find in what it is doing the most abundant assurance of our ability to successfully solve the great problem which is upon our hands. We have the courage, we have the ability, to meet every emergency which lies before us. Let us go forward, animated by the one great purpose to discharge our duty in full measure, inspired by the same high purpose which actuated us when we resolved upon war against the Spanish power. Those who read in a large way the purpose of the All-wise Ruler see in the tragic events of the last four years a far-reaching Providence. Havana and Manila and Santiago and Buffalo tell of the mighty cost of human liberty; they chasten us; they show how narrow is the boundary set to our finite vision, and how we should address ourselves to the duties of the hour and courageously and hopefully await the demands of the future; they show that moral duties abide with nations as with men. If we shall nobly meet the demands of the hour, accomplish peace, and lead the Filipinos in the way of civilization and self-govern-ment, we shall have earned the approval of our own conscience and have won the admiration of the world. Having been twice defeated for President, it would be a decided come down for Mr. Bryan to be simply defeated for governor

WHERE CHEAPNESS PREVAILS

Cheap Labor and Cheap Money Go Hand in Hand in Mexico. A recent visitor to Indianapolis was C. C. Hiatt, of Detroit, a mining engineer who came here to confer with local men who have large interests in Mexico. The Indianapolis Sentinel quotes Mr. Hyatt as saying:— j “One thing that makes Mexico an advantageous place for the investment of capital is that all work can be done so cheaply. For example, in mining, persons can be hired for 80 or 90 cents a day in Mexican money, which means about 35 or 40 cents in gold. In the camps of Colorado wages for the same work range from $4 a day upward. In all other industries the same difference prevails. The tobacco trust illustrated the opportunity for making money. On a capitalization of $1,700,000 the trust last year transacted business to the amount of $8,400,000 and paid a dividend on its stock of 59 per cent. The greatest price it received for cigarettes, which is its big product, was 5 cents for 18 hand-made cigarettes. In its factories 228 machines with a capacity of 120,000 cigarettes an hour each were kept in constant operation. The cigarettes come out of the machines faster than they can be counted, so perfect is the machinery.” 1 All this is Interesting for several reasons; first, because of the fact that cheap money and cheap labor are intimately associated in Mexico. Again, testimony is borne to the fact that without the parentage of our protective tariff, there are trusts in Mexico more grasping than our own, one in particular which, if tobacco products were put on a tariff for revenue basis, could readily destroy an industroy which is local to every Indiana community.

The Delineator for July.

The great world event of June, the coronation of King Edward VII., of England, will picture scenes that have had no parallel in the lives of the present generation, and for this reason an article by Sir Edwin Arnold on the Coronation Festivities, and a description by the Sir Walter Besant of the Pageants of London, in the July Delineator, are especially timely and interesting. Another of Miss Laughlin’s charming stories of authors’ loves appears this month, telling of the pitiful passion of John Keats; and the concluding paper in the series of pictorial photogranhy treats of genre pictures, the illustrations being remarkably fine. There is an interesting description of the life of Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross Society, in her picturesque home near Washington. To the series on athletics for women is added an illustrated article on bowling, by a New York woman who has won many honors in this sport. The housekeeping department has been adapted to the many difficulties of the hot weather season, and the receipts for Summer drinks and inexpensive desserts will be welcomed. In fiction there are two high-class stories: The Unpromising Land, by Julian Van Boskirk; and A Daughter of the Wilderness, by Francis Lynde.
