Grant, re- turned not long ago from the Philli- pines, The colonel felt it to be his the weak and | duty to say something and he said: “From the time that Bryan mado his first speech of acceptance to the week of election, any war on the Filipinos was a useless slaughter. Every one of the outrages follow- ed closely on some demonstration In favor of the insurgents’ cause in the United States.” A writer in Public replies to Grant heed nowadays—in the centennial year of 1876 made one of his little but great speeches. It was made that year at Des Momes, Ia. In it he said: ‘Now, 1n this centennial year of our existence, I beheve it a good time to begin to strengthen the foundations of the house commenced by our fathers one hundred years ago at Concord and Lexington. Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the more _per- fect secunty of free thought, free speech and free press, of pure minds, unfettered religious sentiments, and of equal rights and privileges to all men, irrespective of nationality, color or religion,’ “Mighty words those ! “Js there anything from first to last in our onslaught upon the inhabitants of the Phillippine islands that tends to ‘strengthen the foundations of the house,’ to encourage ‘free thought, free speech and free press,’ or to pro- mote ‘equal nights and privileges to all men, irrespective nationality, color or religion ?’ Will the son of Gen. Grant, with the following sledge-hammer reasoning: “Queer logic ! “A single inquiry wovld seem to knock it badly im the head. Who are responsible for the bloodshed and misery of an unjust and unholy war— they who begin or those who object to it ? “Of course this argumentation of the son of Gen, Graat, of Appomattox, is nothing new. We heard it over and over from the Republican stump in the campaign of the ‘full dinner pail.’ But what better could illustrate the wrong-headedness of this whole Phil- lipine crusade of the government, in violence, not alone of every Repubii- can principle we ever professed as a people, but in flagrant definance of ‘the decalogue, the golden rule and the sermon on the mount ? No mat- ter what a government may do— whatever enormities it may undertake, criticism and protest must be withheld, lest as a result of the government’s determination to push ahead in its evil course there may be bloodshed and desolation ! “Could unreason go further ? Could meanness itself ? “So the wolf upbraided the lamb for defiling the stream. So the burglar should indict the householder for de- fending his home So the tyrant ex- cuses his tyranny, for who would ‘be tyrannized if everybody submitted cheerfully to the tyrant’s will in ad- vance ? Such logic is not only medie- val darkness, it is too brutal for toler- ation among pirates. Barbarism of the lowest grade condemns tt. y “But there is another thing ‘to be said. It may be repetition, but re- petition 1s necessary in these times. It was in the time of the revolution; it was in the time of the Man of Nazar- eth; it was in the time of Martin Luther, and in the time of many a reformer betore and since Luther, who ‘resolved to enter Worms in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, although as many devils should set at him as there were titles on the housetops.’? It has been said, and it is here repeated, that before the advent of Dewey or Merritt in the orient, or any other official there, under the star-spangled banner, to carry on the work of ‘benevolent assimilation,’ the Filpinos were heroicaily contentling for their independence, inspired by the declara- tion of Indepedence proclaimed at Philadelphia 125 years ago. “As Senator Hoar. witha voice of flame, said in the senate, it was notthe speech nor the literature of anti-im- penalists, or the cry of any others speaking in similar strain, that insti- gated the Filipinos to resist our arms, but our own example, our own teach- ings, life upon line, from the days of Sam Adams down to the hour when, through congress, we unanimously re- | solved ‘that the people of the island | of Cuba were and of right out to be | free and independent,’ . “What chaff, then, 1s all this talk about Byran and Hoar, Boutwell and Schurz, and the host that say amen to their righteous protests, this talk about encouraging the Filipinos in their ‘re- bellion !’ Is it possible that anybody who litters the press with such rot sup- poses that the voice of liberty is to be thereby silenced in this land of Henry | and Hancock, Sumner and Giddings, Channing and Lovejoy, and the great Emancipator who said: ‘They who | deny freedom to others deserve it ‘not themselves, and, under a just God can- who so spoke, please ponder and answer ?” MORGAN, THE MONARCH. The Minneapolis Times, while gen- erally wrong inits conclusions when discussing political economy, some- times speaks out a powerful truth. In the following editorial the Times types some interesting facts: “In the sun of Austerlitz Napoleon cast a shadow that threatened to en- gult Europe. Men and governments feared lest the domination of one man earned by arms, should come to mean the unhappiness, if not the enthrall- ment. of Christendom. J. Pierpont Morgan has lately basked in the sun of England’s royal favor. This man, too, casts a shadow over commercial England, cne very palpable and very fearful in the opinion of many Britons who regard their national supremacy as menaced if not usurped. We read —and with surprisingly little comment —that if Mr. Morgan had been in this country at the time, the recent wild frenzy of speculation in New York would not have attained the proportions it did; that had Mr. Mor- gan been 1n his office on the corner of Broad and Wall street many men who were comfortably off a tew weeks ago would still be possessed of living incomes; that by his consolidation of interests, pertaining particularly to himself and to those friendly to him, and by his control of properties in which he does not have an actual majority of stock, this New York banker has become, as it were, the emperor of American economics, We learn now that Mr. Morgan has con- sented to abridge his stay in Europe and is about to return to the United States forthe purpose of settling dif- ferences between interests that love him not the more but each other the less, To those familiar with the great banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & company and = its. operations throughout the last decade, the prom- inence of the personalty of Mr, Morgan in the financial work is a sur- prise. That the house of which he is the head chould rank in America with those of the Rothschilds in Europe is not amazing, but the Street in general and not a few of the leaders therein in particular, beheve that the late Mr. Coster, one of the “company,” was the leading spirit, the balance wheel as it were, and that Mr. Morgan him- selt, while by no means a figurehead, cared as much for society, for sports of the expensive kind and for the pleasures that go with riches as he did for business. The public estimate was wrong, of course, and Mr, Morgan can safely lay claim to the title of great financier. The appellation “Napoleon of Finance” would pe par- ticularly ungrateful in New York where the career of young Mr. Ward is by no means forgotten. Mr. Morgan not only has money for other men, but he has that greater gift, the power of getting ail there 1s_ of influence out of the millions he and his friends pos- sess and of discounting the power of the money of his opponents. We hear much nowadays 1n depre- cation of imperialism, as applied to government and territory. There is an imperialism much more to be feared, much more imminent and much more dangerous to the public than that many people believe to be not long retain 1t.’ Si “Nor would we pause without one other word. Gen. Grant—thereds but foreshadowed by the acquisition of foreign terntory could possibly be. It is the imperialism of the millionaire. to paint Mr, Morgan as an ogre. Were the nation attacked by 2 foreign foe he would be one of the first to re- spond with his money, 1f not with his person. Were we in danger of the success of financial heresy, Mr. Mor- gan would spend and be spent to avert that danger. The great banker is not unmindful of the rights of working- men. It was very clearly shown dur- ing the recent strike of the miners that the man who controls the coal carrying roads would not be a party to continue injustice and crushing ex- actions as agaiust the workers. The danger lies in the fact that to no one man in a repnblic should such power be possible as that of Mr. Morgan and many of his_ friends at believe lies at present in his grasp. Knowingly. Mr. Morgan would not tear down any of the bulwarks of republicanism (the term is used in its broad sense), nor of intention would he outrage democracy. If, however, the question between a wrong tothe republic and a profit to himself and his coterie arose, the re- public would suffer. Is there aremedy for the danger refered to above? ‘There 1s and it is in the common sense of the people. Thank God we are a repubiic and still have the ballot. We can, and we will, send men to congress whose aim will be to legislate in favor of the many, regardless of the fact that upon the few parties must depend our campaign contributions. We can elect congress- men who would never allow a ship subsidy bill, for instance, to go beyond committee or who, in view of the absolute righteousness of the claims of those who believe the tariff is excessive would, early in the session, prepare and pass an amended tariff in con- sonance with present - conditions and needs, It is well for this country that Mr. Morgan is not as greedy of polit- ical place as he is_ of control of trans- portation lines and industrials. It is better for this country when the pre- sence of no one man_ is necessary to prevent financial disaster m Wall Street or to heal the wounds that have come from speculative strife. A COMING ISSUE. There. are far more papers and people giving serious thought to the government ownership of railroads than is generally known. ‘The issue does not appear to be confined to any party, nor to any section. The Mid- way News is Republican in politics but it begins to realize that govern- ment ownership agitation 1s bound to assume a conspicuous place in the political issues of the next presidential campaign. ‘The News says: The government ownership of railroads is liable to be an issue in the presidential con- test. The problem has been made the subject of deep and careful study on the part of the present owners of railroads, and the neces- sary legislation is already well advanced. The entire railroad interests of the country are now massed into about three systems, be merged into one. Congressman McCleary leaves im a few days for Europe to study this question. The laws to be enacted by congress ure already drafted and sv far as the railroad interests are concerned pratically perfected. S. F. 1770, introduced by Mr. Pettigrew, has had its second reading and is now before the the committee on interstate commerce. In the final completion of this legislation there is but one point unsettled, and that is whether the government shall buy the railroads or whether the railroads shall buy the govern- ment, And that is where the issue will come. Tue following few lines from the Fargo Forum could not be replaced by columns of eloquent sermons: “Speak kindly to the erring !—And thou mayst lead them back,—With holy word and tones of love,—From misery’s thorny track.—Forget not thou hast often sinned,—And sinful yet may be;—Deal gently with the erring one,—As God hast dealt with thee.” To The Pan American Exposition at Buffalo. ‘The most popular railway from the northwest to the great show at Buffa- lo will be the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. It runs, every day, flve beautiful trains from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago, connecting directly with all Eastern lines. Its celebrated Pioneer Limited, the famous train of the world, leaves Minneapolis 7:30 p. m: and St. Paul 8:10 p. m. daily, arriving at Chicago 9:30 next morning. Special features of the Milwaukee's service are the observation, buffet parlor cars on day trains, private com- partment and standard sleepers on night trains,gas well as buffet smok ing cars and the best dining service in the world.
