Some of our sappy Democratic editors tDe npplicalion of the title of “iadrones” (rliieves or bandits) to the tew Filipinos who are still carrying on a desultory guerilla Warfare ag unst United States authority. These writers could probably apply i h*> terms “wash Indy” and “ash gem.'eman'’ to such respective laborers.

The recent anti-imperialist propaganda contains such a large amount of exclusive information about horrors in the Philippines that some people have beeu led to unkindly remark that it had a home-made appearance. Some of our small ,st gauge editors appear to think we are verging on *the brink of a national system of effete plutocracy because the President is using one of the Government boats, which has been styled the Piesident’s “yacht.” Why should not the Chief Executive of the greatest country in the world have at his disposal, when he wants to go anywhere by water, the use of a email Government vessel? Probably some of our friends would prefer to 6ee him go around from port to port on a raft. ——w—a« Hon. James H. Eckels, the brilliant y r 'Ung Comptroller of the Currancy during the last Democratic administration, is quoted as saying that the party can make nothing out of it’s cry of “imperialism.” In fact Mr. Eckels believes that the acquisition of the Philippines is a good thing for the country, which view seems to be shared by a good many meu prominent in Democratic circles. Senator Gorman, for instance, has expressed himself as being entirely out of accord with the views shared by the eonMfgent of which Senator Carmack is the most voluble spokesman. It looks as though Mr. Eckels might repeat his experience of 1900 when he admits he voted for the Republican candidate as a patriotic duty.
