A marked disposition has appeared of Ig eu the part of certain of the rabid anti-ex- pension newspapers of the country in treat- ing of the news of fighting in the Philip- pines to represent every engagement as a slaughter of the Filipinos and to score up the dea@ and woun: fight the natives as so many additional items in the fulfillment of the American purpose. 8 course is Intended to mean no less than that it is the plan of this government to slay all the belligerent Fulpinos and thus pacify the ! nds by the sheer waste of blood. Such representations are despicably unjustified. The United Btates ts in possession of the Philippines by Virtue of @ right which Is no longer within the range of debate. in pursuance of that right tt is proceeding to establish govern- ment to replace both the tyranny of Spain and the anarchy of native attempis at rule. ts words of assurance to the natives have been distorted and misint ts crafty leaders of the nS ed by the American agitators ion. Its purposes have been » ats good faith impugned, its ac- orted, its re by the very inte have be through pac erican surrender. Every stroke which the so- of the Filipinos have to prolong the ageny of t plishme @f American rule. Every speech utter 4a Congress In deprecation of the police: bolding the Philippix Bong the strife. Every flattering reference @othe “Washington of the Philippines” has Dperated as a stimulus to his evil activities and neceseltated further endeavors to sup- Press him. Every shaft aimed for domestic political purposes at the American adminis- tration has cost Filipino lives. ‘There is no American purpose or desire to pacify the Islands by slaughter. Could the new sovereignty have been established without the shedding of @ drop of blood the d friends clivered has tended of has served to pro- achievement would have been glorious in American eyes and a source of everlasting pride to the nation. The purpose of this country. having become endowed with re- sponsibilities in the archipelago which can- not honorably be shaken off, has steadfast- y¥ been to perform the assigned task to the best interests of all the Filipinos. That seme of them, misled by both native and American advisers, have thrown themselves almost naked against the weapons of the American troops and have perished in large numbers in consequence of their folly 15 solely the result of the persistent agitation in behalf of an impossible form of govern- ment for the archipelago. So, when occasion arises to present the sad news of the fighting in the Philippines made necessary by these un-American al- lies of Aguinaldo it does not Me in the mouths of the anti-expansionists to charge the bloodshed up to the United States gov- ernment. The people may be relied upon to understand where to place the blame for this deplorable slaughter. ———_+ ee The New Commissioners. Out of the field of prominent and capable citizens of the District whose names were bete him in connection with the com- missionerships about to become vacant President McKinley has made his choice im a manner to commend the hearty ap- proval of the community. Of Mr. Koss, who is renamed for another term, there is little occasion to speak. He is too well known and too heartily admired as an administrator of local government to re- quire introduction or encomium. Mr. Mac- farland, however, although known by very many of our people, is new to the field of public life as a participant, having been for many years an observer of men and events and a painstaking recorder of capital news. His selection is certain to evoke the univer- sal comment that the President has found a man of absolute integrity, sincerity and capacity for this important and trying post- tion. Identified with the District from boy- hood, a student of virtually al! of its af- fairs, both as citizen and correspondent, Mr. Macfarland will carry into the District offices a keen appreciation of the needs of the capital, a loyal sense of its re- lationship to the general government and a disposition to further its already ad- vanced position as the nation’s beautiful city. His tastes are refined, his Judgment excellent, his address calculated to elicit hearty support among both associates and citizens. It is a cause for general con- gratufktion that the President has obtained the consent of such a man to accept the trying and even sacrificial duties of thea commissionership, and In relinquishing his present responsibilities for a post that will bring its trials along with its honors. Mr. Macfarland wins the thanks of the com- munity for his divyplay of public spirit and cod citizenship in thus obeying the call to an office which he did not seek, and for ‘hick he is eminently qualified. ——_+ += ____ That Cuban Mare's Nest. And so it is the esteemed Washington Post which is behind this assault on the President and the Secretary of War in the ter of extra allowances for four Ameri- army officers on dut in Cuba. At east the presumption scems authorized by an editorial deliverance in today’s issue of that paper. Who would have supposed such a thing possible! The Post, the cham- pion of Spain in Cuba as long as It was prudent openly to champion her, now exssay- Ing in the interests of the Cubans the role auditor of Cuban accounts? The Post— the old aristoci »solutely bloated with culture and refinement, trying to put Amer- ican officers in high station in a strange land on short commons for the discharge official obligations? Well, well! The Joke is on Senator Bacon. The gentleman ean of from should be on his guard against this mad wag of Washington journalism. He should read {t—if he does read tt—care- ly, studiously, even laboriously, to catch the point. The Post frothing at the mouth for an economic administration of the af- fairs of a people whose thrées while under the heel of Spain could not move It! Carry the news to Weyler! And why is the esteemed Post so wrought up by The Star’s reference to the tittle-tat- tle of the barracks and the backbitings of the social chebs of Havana? The editor of The Star has, doubtless, incommon withthe editor of the Post, no personal knowledge whatever of the condition of affairs in the barracks and the clubs of Havana, but it {s a matter of general report and credence that the most of the venomous mischief making against American rule and the American army in Cuba is concocted in the 1 clubs of Havana. ———__~ ++ Tom Watson says he is politically dead and wants to be allowed to rest in peace. Mr. Watson at least claims the considera- tion due a man who doesn’t bother people for sympathy in his troubles. —_~+ +> —___ Minister Wu Ting Fang intimates that If this country is to prosper to the full ex- tent of its foreign opportunities the old cry will have to be changed to “the Chi- nese Must come.” Governor Rooseveit's assertion that a perfectly good man is useless to a com- munity is calculated to give a number of practical politicians a renewed lease of self-esteem. 2 ___ Col.

Admiral Dewey and Platforms. Admiral Dewey 1s about to receive his first lesson fn practical politics. The racket at Chicago over the real platform upon which he is to stand as the hero of Manila bay 1s exceedingly suggestive. The struc- ture is’ the work of non-union labor, and union labor Has put it under the ban. If Admiral Dewey occuples it, and reviews the procession which 1s to march in his honor, he will offend union labor and come in for a share of {ts @ispleasure. If he declines to occupy it, he will offend those who have organized the demonstration and throw everything out of plumb. It may not be inappropriate to describe the admiral's position as belng between the devil and the deep sea. And it makes just as much difference, too, who builds the platform, figuratively speaking, upon which a presidential cau- didate stands. There are divisions among the politicians as among the laboring men. One already hears the threats that are cir- culating. There are many democrats who declare that if the populists build the plat- ferm at Kansas City they will not support the candidate who stands on it; and there are many more popullsts who declare that if the Job is bossed by such men as Mr. Hill and Mr. Gorman they will march by nother route. So that the hero’. in Chicago next troubles ‘k will be but a for of what his troubles as a politician will be later ff he insists on remaining in the ring and defeating Mr. Bryan for the democratic leadership. And, by the way, what has become of the platform which Admiral Dewey him- self was to construct? The country was assured soon after he announced his can- didacy for the presidency that a full, clear statement of his attitude on political ques- tions would soon follow; and when he left the noise and worry of the town and be- took himself to the quiet of his country nn AY, APRIL 27, 1900-16 PAGES. place everybody thought that the change was for the purpose of clearing the writing | desk for action. But still there is no state- ment. The country is just as much in the dark today about how Admiral Dewey would put down trusts, or reorganize the Su- preme Court, or prevent the republic from becoming a military despotism, it was weeks ago. Can it be true that Mr. Mc- Lean has gently but firmly advised his dis- tinguished kinsman against ther perils of platform building? Such is the report, and Mr. MeLean is an old hand in the use of the political saw and hatchet. His sugges- ticns on that poini are worthy of the ad- miral's attention. ———_~ + = _____ The Filipinos have concluded that bolo men and anti-expansion sympathizers are not much to be depended on in a fight. ——_>+o—___ The Boers still refuse to contribute their expected share in the triumphal programs arranged by the English generals. 2 ____ SHOOTING STARS. A Mysterious Spell. “There seems,” remarked the romantic young man, as he looked moonward, “to be a mysterious spell In the atmosphere.” “There is," answered the young woman, who is a teacher in the public schools. “I have been correcting examination papers all day.” Transition. A few weeks since with might and main We wailed our chilly lot; A few weeks hence, and we'll complain Because it is too hot. The Language of Finance. “Do you think there will be much interest in this political enterprise?” “Interest! repeated Senztor Sorghum. “Ivll be more than interest. It'll be divi- dends.” A Business Proposal. She was standing on the front porch read- ing the story paper, which had just come In the mail. “Madam,” said Meandering Mike, ‘‘did I see you brush away a tear jes’ now?’ “Spos’n I did,” she returned. “It's no business of yours “I spoke in kindness, lady. You ain't treatin’ yerself right to cry an’ read both at once. It's a double strain on yer eyes, en’ you might as well listen to my hard luck stories, an’ save yer eyes exclusively fur de weeps. If you likes touchin’ stories, lady, here’s yer chance to have ‘em brought to yer door, an’ you needn't pay two dol- lars a year’s subscription in advance, neither, It's de chance of yer life, lady, to trade off cold victuals for pathos.” Early Promise. “I'm going to be proud of that small boy of mine one of these days,” he exclaimed, earnestly. “Is he talented?” “No. He's going to be a business man. IT told him last week that if he'd be a good boy I'd take him to the circus. Instead of taking me right up he thought the proposi- tion over for a minute, and then asked me if I thought it was a good circus.” Statixtical Study, ve heard the bands, ‘The cheering loud, 7 The clapping hands Of many a crowd.

That transient mirth Before the frost— Oh, was it worth ‘The price {t cost? —+>___ A Joke With a Moral, From the Indianapolis Press. The Washington Star recently contained an accouht of a conversation in which one citizen asked another, “Are you a Boor sympathizer?" and again, “Are you a Fil- ipino sympathizer?” Receiving a negative answer to both questlo: he asked, “Why not?" and other replied: “I'm simply a U.S. A. sympathizer.” This Is a joke with an excellent moral. There are too many men who grow frantic over the cupldity of England and the woes of Aguinaldo, who yet will not walk two blocks and spend half an hour at a political primary. They mis- take wind for patriotism. ———-+s__ Objectionably Extraneous Matter. From the Boston Herald. We find one of our exchanges chuckling over the amount of ant!-imperlalist litera- ture which {8 forced into the Congressional Record as appendices to congressional speeches. Leaving aside the character of this literature. the printing It at government expense Is an abuse that ought to be pre- vented. It is not fair dealing to use the offi- cial paper of Congress for such a purpose. Fortunately, the public printer puts these outside documents in such small type that it is only with great difficulty that they can be read. But they ought not to encumber the Record. This is a very buiky affair without incorporating extraneous matter into ft. It is suffictently a campaign docu- ment in Its legitimate printing; its Ulegiti- pre material should be discouraged by all sides. ————+ +> __ Must Men Take Out a “License to Workt” Fiom the New York Sun. The bloody record made in Chicago in the last few days, when nearly two dozen men have been the victims of assault varying in results from injury to death, was intended to have a special meaning. ‘The reason for these outrages was that a certain number of men, joined together in a labor union, propose to regulate the labor of all other men. They virtually constitute themselves a bureau from which every la- borer must obtain a “license to work,” pay- ing money for it, or, in case he asserts his independence, lose his place or his life. And what ts being done at Chicago has recently been tried at the Croton dam in New York, and {s being tried in other places. The state demands a license to work from no one, except In cases where the occupa- tion may cause danger to others. The state 1s bound to see that no band of conspirators is permitted to force other men to take out licenses. In this country men are equal. ——_~+-_____ England and India, From the Philadelphia Inquirer, The suggestion that the Hindoos are being allowed to starve because England {fs spend: ing the money that would otherwise have been expended for their relief in carrying on the war with the Boers is erroneous, There cannot be any honest and intelligent dispute us to the vast benefits which British rule, as exercised by the viceroys, through the agency of local Institutions, has con- ferred upon the swarming millions of Hin- dostan. The construction of railroads and of irrigating reservoirs and canals. has greatly reduced in number and lessened in severity the recurrent famines to which from time immemorial the country has been subject, and if they still periodically occur it is because thetr entire prevention is_be- yond human power. When the rain docs not fall the crops will not grow, and famine more or less extensive, according to the con- ditions, is the inevitable result. ———_~+ ++ __ The Cannon Cracker Must Go. From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia have forbidden the use of the can- non cracker on the Fourth of July, on the ground that it is dangerous not ‘only to those who handle it, but to the public gen- erally. The common council of Milwaukee should enact a similar ordinance. The fire- cracker is for the “small boy,” and the “small boy” should not be intrusted with bombs.

CORBY’S “PIOTHER’S BREAD!” You can do away with home baking if you buy Corby’ “MOTHER'S BREAD!” It's even more nutritious than bread baked at home. By our patent process we utilize 20 per cent more of the gluten in flour than is possible by the old-fashioned way of mixing. This makes Corby’s “MOTH- ER’S BREAD” 20 per cent more healthful. Your grocer sells it—we deliver it to him fresh three times a day. Eve: loaf of “MOTHER’S BREAD” is stamped.
