THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 11, 1902. CORNISH 0N PHILIPPINES Oongressional Oandidate Outlines His Pl for Dealing with Islanda. ULTIMATE INDEPENDENCE FOR FILIPINOS Polley of President McKinley Pla and Worthy of Support by All Repubiicans An Times. OMAHA, May 10.—To the Editor of The | Bee: Since presenting myselt as a candidate for the republican nomination for congress I Am advised that some who have followed re- oent political discussion do not approve of my views regarding the course to be pursued in the Philippine Islands, yet my opinions were well known when the republicans of thia district sent me as a delegate to the national convention two years ago to aselst in framing the national republican plat- form. 1 antagonized the Spanish treaty at the time Mr. Bryan was advising its rati- fleation. It {s gratifying to me to note that 0o less an authority than Judge Taft, presi dent of the Philippine commission, has re- cently declared the acquisition of the Phil- 4ppine islands to have been a mistake. In the last presidential campaign, in the of democratic charges and the asser- tion of some republicans, I denled that the republican pgrty would break faith with fLuba. Cuban’ independence is now assured. I denled that it was the republican policy /to permanently maintain an arbitray, mili- Aary form of gevernment in the Philippines. Today three members of the Philippine commlssion, & majority of the judges of the supreme court, nearly all of the governors of the provinces, and I belleve all of the chief magistrates of the municipalities are Filipinos. This is a growth in the right di- section. I denled that our motives In the east were to obtain a division of the spolls mhen China should be divided. The crisis in China came. We were there. But to the glory of President McKinley, history will record that we were there to preserve peace, to do justice, to lead the armies of Europe out of that land, leaving the gov- ernment thereof to its own inhabitants. But it 1s useless to discuss the past ex- kept as it may bear upon pending Issues. Some Questions of Polley. Existing conditions should be consldered in determining present poilcles. Several fnteresting problems confront us. 1. What should be the course of legisla- tion In reference to the modern tendency of capital to become centralized and com- bined in order to economize production, ex- tend trade, prevent competition and secure monopoly ? 2. In matters relating to the distribution f the products of toll between wage earner end capitalist and in the various social and Sabor problems that are daily assuming more importance, what will be the effect of the disfranchisement in the southern states of two-thirds of the population, who happen to be colored, but who are in fact the laboring population of the south? 3. Shall the Filipinos be given a form of ®overnment approaching the form of gov- ernment in our territories with a view to ultimate admission as states in this unfon, or shall the form of government given to them be adapted to ultimate Independence of the Islands, or shall it be so adapted as 5 hold them indefinitely after the manner of crown colonies? 1 recognize the embarrassment of having ‘well known and often expressed views upon #beso questions, whilst my moet formidable * competitor for the nomination, although he thas visited the Philippine islands and has been called upon officially to Investigate and form opinions upon all theee questions has never, to my knowledge, given utterance to any statements which permit us to know his views upon any mooted question. He s therefore antagonized by no one on ac- «count of his convictions. Iam not disposed to underrate the strength or abllity of an opposing candidate or speak slightingly of his political system that for ten years has worked so well. Yet I cannot imitate him, mad at the risk of defeat desire all men to know my position. T want no privileges In government that Are not the equal privileges of all fts citi- mens. I look upon equality before the law Pt capitalist and laborer, of white man, black man and brown man, as & necessary condition precedent to the proper solution ©f all social and economic questions. Bpe- clal privileges possessed by favored classes or by men of a particular color will sooner ©f later be found a bar to future develop- ment, and will be attended by the evils that slways follow injustice. End of the Philippine Matter. 'The acceptance of the Philippine islands B8 & territory with & view to ultimate in- corporation as a state, in line with the past precedents of this country, seems to me to be open to all the objections that have heretofore caused the adoption of immigra- tion restriction laws. The racial charac- teristics of the Filipinos are such that without radical changes which could not be Prought about within & century they would Dbe unsatisfactory citizens to pass upon the great soclal and economic problems that are confronting highly civilized peoples. To admit them, therefore, Into full privi- Joges of citizenship within any reasonable $ime seems to me to lnvite corruption. On the other hand, to hold them perpetually in subjection after the fashion of crown colo- nies 18 too un-American to be thinkable I therefore believe that our legislation re- specting them should be moulded in such manner as not to hold them In permanent subjection against their will or destroy their national aspirations, but to give them an Independent government at the earliest practicable moment, the time and manner being largely questions of expediency. 1 do not criticise others who seek the dame ultimate goal as myself because our methods may be dissimilar. I shall. there- fore, it elected, address my arguments as heretofors to republicans and attempt to | secure the adoption of my views in repub- lcan caucuses and republican platforms In holding these views I consider myself one of the most radical of republicans, in harmony with all the principles that first attached me to that great party and have since made me one of its ardent supporters. The last republican national platform de- clared in reference to the Filipinos “the largest measure of self-government consist- ent with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law.” It further de. clared “ft was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race | or color in regulating the elective fran- chise Polley of McKinley. President Schurman of the first Philip- pine commission, probably as well informed as to the desires of President McKinley as any living man, sald President McKinley always contemplated ultimately an inde- pendent form of government for the Fill- plnos. No other construction can be placed upon the words of President Roosevelt in bis last meesage, that we would give to them “freedom after the manner of really free people.”” The influence in the repub- lican party of such eminent statesmen as Tom Reed. Senator Edmonds and the late President Harrison and John Sherman has never been shaken, and no republican platform ever read them out of the party. Every republican con- gressman and senator who belleved as I 414 has been supported for re-elsction hy the republican organizations, both state and national. Democratic charges do not make republican policies. The true lovers of Abraham Lincoln are found in the republican party, I know of no person who will openly confess to a desire to exploit the labor and resources of the islands, and if any legis- lation permitting such result creeps in it will be only through accident and inatten- tion. While in control of these islands we should consider ourselves possessed of & sacred trust to be administered not for our selfish gain, but in the interests of hu- manity, believing such interests to be best subserved by adhering to the fundamental prinicples of our institutions. It any republican takes issue with the principles here announced I would be glad to meet him on the stump before and re- publican audience. If any democrat be- lieves mine to be an inconsistent position 1 challenge him to sustain the un-Ameri- can laws adopted by the controlling wing of the democratic party in the southern states or the trust-breeding democratic state of New Jersey. Convictions Not Ready Made. 1 know that it is urged that a representa tive who will get our share of the federa patronage may well take his political con- victions ready-made from eastern leaders of the party. I belleve that the time has come when republicans of the central west should form independent conmvictions and have the courage to espouse them earnestly and assume the position in the counsels of our natfon to which our average intelligence and growing weaith entitles us, to the end that the central west shall become the granary and packing heuse of the world and the center of pure American thought. If, with such opinions, the republicans of this district see fit to choose me as thelr candi- date, T shall endeavor if elected not to dis- appoint them. By so doing they will en- courage young republicans to hope that no individual by mere affability can obtaln a life-long monopoly of the honors at the dis- posal of the party, amd that earnest labor and independent thought in its behalf will sooner er later obtain fitting reward. If, on the other hand, I am defeated, I know of no one who can smile and look pleasant in defeat better tham myself, or who can with better heart continue, under limited oppertunities, to advocate all that he holds dear In our institutions.

COAL COMPANY’S EXPANSION erland Brothers Increase Capital Stock to Hundred and Fifty [ ‘The Omaha Coal, Coke and Lime company will file amended articles of incorporation Monday by which the title of the corpora- ktion will be changed to the Sunderland Brothers company and the capital stock in- creased from $30,000 to $150,000, fully paid. In the last year the company has greatly extended its business. The Eighth street warehouse was completed at a cost of $20,- 000; the company purchased the old Carter whits lead works site at Twentleth and Hickory streets at approximately $20,000, and is now placing on that ground material which when put into shape will make the best equipped coal yards west of Chicago. This equipment will cost approximately SNOW STORMS IN THE NORTH Heavy Precipitation Does Great Damage in a Nnmber of States. FEARS OF BLIZZARD IN SOME SECTIONS Three Inches of Snow in New York Kills Fruit Blossoms and Red River Wheat Belt from Over-Moisture, fers ST. PAUL, May 10.~Dispatches from northern Minnesota report a heavy snow- storm this afternoon. Garden stuff is sald to be injured to some extent. WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., May 10—Snow Is falling here tonight and threatens to turn into a blizzard before morning. GRAND FORKS, N. D.,, May 10.—A storm prevalled over the entire Red River valley today, Winnipeg reporting a heavy snow- fall and the storm reaching south to Fargo, west to Larimore and east to the Minne- sota timber. Two inches of heavy wet snow fell here. The soll is so full of water that it can absorb no more and it is inevitable that the wheat area in the valley will be materially reduced NEW YORK, May 10.—Unusually cold weather and high winds prevalled through- out morthern and western New York today. In Wayne county the wind and rain stripped fruit trees of their blossoms, causing dam- age estimated at $50,000. A similar report comes from Ballston. This morning snow to the depth of two or three inches fell at Lyon mountain and other points in northera New York and northern Vermont. Amusements. At the Boyd— “Janice Meredith," a dramatic version in four acts of Paul Lelcester Ford's revo- Iutionary story by Edward E. Rose. Pro- duced at Boyd's theater Friday night by Blanche Walsh and her company. The cast: Charles Fownes, John Brereton ........ obert Lowe Philemon Hennfon ason Mitchell Lord Clowes .. ..R. Paton Gibbs Lieutenant Mob aymond Whitaker Robert Harold, Jr. ..Denman Maliey afterward R Bauire Hennlon Colonel Rahl Joe Bagby . Mra. Meredith.. Tabitha Drinker. Bukoy ... Janice Meredith .. Forrest Flood Harriet Sterlin Fanny Marinof . J. R. Haywood ...Blanche Walsh It was perhaps owing mainly to the fact that Omaha people had had a previous op- portunity this season of seelng the drama- tization of Paul Leicester Ford's popular revolutionary story that the audience which greeted Blanche Walsh Friday nighf was rather small, considering the popurarity of both Mise Walsh and the play. Those who were there saw such an interpretation of the name part of the plece as would be quite Impossible to excell in any particular. Miss Walsh makes Janice the impetuous yet truly admirable girl that would seem to be the author's ideal. The part is too trivial to be glven serlous consideration by an actress of Miss Wash's unquestioned abllity and the fact that she is wasting her time with it is not only a surprise, but something of a shock to her many admir- ers here. As for the play, it is as good and in many ways better than many of its kind that have been put before the public stnce the book play craze was born a season or 80 back. It is one of those heroic melo- dramatic pleces which appeals to the patri- otic spirit of an audience to such an e tent ae to sometimes make them so far forget themselves as to actually shout thetr approval of the many hairbreadth escapes of the hero. Miss Walsh has & good sup- porting company and all of the possibilities of the plece are brought out. The produc- tion is in keeping with the excellence of the performance. The plece will be offered again this afternoon, and tonight Miss Waleh, will offer her new play, “La Madele- ine,” for the first time in this city. CORNISH SPEAKS IN FIRST Congressional Candidate Opens His Campaign in His Home Ward. There was not a large crowd at the meet- ing of the First Ward Republican club Friday night, there having been a misunder- standing In regard to the date. In the ab- sence of Frank Bandhauer, W. F. Koetler presided. N. C. Pratt was the first speaker. After announcing his desire for nomination at the hands of the party for congress, he #ald that he would keep up the fight until the party has spoken and then his coat will be off for the nominee. As the republican party has originated every measure for good on the statute books, he was proud to say that he had always been in line with the party idea. The privilege of holding office should not be confined to any one man. He pledged himself if elected to the office to do all that can be done for the state and district. Mr. Pratt was followed by E. J, Coraish, who sald in part: “Did you ever stop to think that it we pay equally with the other people of the country the people of Omaha pay more tax to the national government than we pay in city, county and state taxes.

There has never been a republican elected to office in Douglas county In the last eighteen years but what has had my support. I have opinions which some republicans have mot had, but it is only by having opinions and expressing them that a party can be kept right. I bave always sald, however, that in the end the republican party would be right. I had the same opinions which I bhave now when I was elected to represent the republicans of Nebraska at the Phila delphia convention.” OMAHA GUARDS’ MAY PARTY Thurston Rifies and Officers of South Omaha Cavalry Troop the Guests. Two hundred Omaha soldiers, with as many of their tair friends, enjoyed them- selves at the armory of the Omaha Guards Friday night, the occasion being the annual formal May ball of that company. Save for the nature of the decorations and the general martial air that follows soldlers everywhere, however, no one would bave known that the men were of the military, for full drees was the order of the evening and the familiar uniforms of blue were dis carded in favor of the conventlonal attire of black and white. The Thurston Rifles, together with the officers of the cavalry company in South Omaha, were the guests of the Guards on this occasion and the affair was a success in all features. So profuse and handsome were the decorations of flowers and colors, €0 numerous and artistic the cozy corners and lounging places arranged for the com- fort of the guests, that no one would have thought he was in an armory, for all the features common to euch a place were masked completely. A program of nineteen dances, including four regular extras, was ended along in the small hours, and perfect music from an orchestra of elght pleces enhanced the gen: eral effect and added the last touch to ms- sure general enjoyment. MEDICINE MAKERS PROTEST Manufacturers of Live Stock Food and Remedies After Agricultural Department. Omaha manufacturers of stock food and medicines are still agitated over the action of the secretary of agriculture in publishing criticlsms of the preparations offered for sale, and the letter written by the secretary to Congressmam Robinson does not assure them that their preparations may not be the next to recelve the attention of the departe ment. One of the largest manufacturers of the city wrote to Secretary Wilson on the sub- ject. He called attention of the secretary to the fact that in considering the cost of the preparations he should take into consid- eration not the wholesale cost of the com- ponent parts, but consider what such a preparation would cost the farmer or stock rajser It purchased at the local drug store. In this connection he cited the case of the hog cholera remedy promulgated by the de- partment a few years ago. Since then it has been used extensively by the farme who have had it prepared by druggists at a cost ranging from 10 cents to 25 cents & pound. An Omaha manufacturer makes the remedy and sells it to the consumer at § cents a pound, much less than it could be obtained for before it was manufactured in quantities. Continuing his letter to the secretary, the manufacturer says that the department is fiylng in the face of the experience of many reputable farmers, as it is practically im- possible to continue the sale of a medicine or stock food which has not demenstrated ite fitness to live; that the fake remedlies are driven out of the trade by natural pro- cess, while only the worthy remedies attain such prominence as brings upon them the atteation of the department. The Omaha men have again appealed to the Nebraska congressional delegation to see that thelr business inter are not jeopardized by the Department of Agricul- ture.

The deputies say that they are at- tempting to carry out his orders to the very letter and as a result they meet with violent opposition whenever a new subject s reached. One of the deputies id last evening: ““People do not seem to be Informed of the rule that Commissioner Fitzgerald has adopted and thelr protests delay us in our work materially. Having in prior years been assessed but a small percentage of the real value of the property listed, they belleve that they are being unfairly treated when we attempt to adopt the market value. This opposition wiil delay us so that we will be several days later in com- pleting the assessment than we would otherwise be. But we are making good progress, all things considered. Still, I wish the people would understand bow things are so that we would not have to spend so much time in explaining.” Horse Sale a Success, The three days' sale of horses which has been golng on at the yards this week closed yesterday. Old horse buyers stated last evening that the sale had been the most successful one of its kind held at the yards in years. The atock offered Yor sale was fine and the bidding active enough to bring rich prices for the bulk of the horses sold. Each day of the sale brought out growds of spectators. Narrowly Bscape Death. While at work kalsomining roo: over the city offices yesterday morning a leak- ing gaspipe nearly asphyxiated several workmen in the rooms. Three men were at work on a scaffold and while a strong odor of gas was perceptible, but little at- tentlon was pald to it. | Suddenly ome of the men toppled off of the scaffold and fell to the floor. This alarmed the other two and all windows In the bullding were thrown open. After some little effort the injured man was revived. District Missionary Soclety. The annual convention of the Third Dis- trict Nebraska Christian Missionary so- clety will be held in South Omaba Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday of next week. The exercises will be held at the First Christian church, Twenty-third and K streets. An elaborate program has been prepared and those who are looking after preparations here say that a large crowd is expected, as each of the towns in the district have selected delegates and nearly all have signified thelr intention of attend- ing the convention. Grading Installment Due, The work of entering up the schedule of assesments for the grading of E street from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street was completed last evening and Deputy City Treasurer Gustafson stated that the first installment was due today. The cost of the grading will be paid by the pronerty owners in ten installments,’ running as many years. Dog License. Although the owners of dogs were not re- quired to take out licenses until today, up to last evening the city clerk had is- sued over 100 licenses. Magie City Gossip. A. R.

It s understood thac the majority of the eity council has become divided on the question of assessment of corporations and that the members withdrawing from the al- leged alliance are Councilmen Karr and Whitehorn. In regard to this Councilman Karr sald: “I have heard reports today that the ma- Jority of the council has arrived at a basts of settlement of the assessments of the corporations whose assessments are yet to be fixed. So far as I am concerned this is mot s0. I find that we are in & much difterent position than we were at the time we had the matter up before. The supreme court of the tate has pessed upon the law, declaring one portion inoperative. We now know what to do, and I am going to do it fearlessly and without prejudice to anyome. We will follow the terms of the writ of the court exactly. I have been invited to con- sult upon the subject and have refused to have anything to do with any conference or consultation. I am personally standing in- dependently of all parties in the matter and am only going to act after there has been shown to the Board of Equalization the real value of the property and franchises of these corporations, when I will be ready to make the assessed valuation upon the same basls that of other property in the city. It has been my intention all along to do nothing but what I understood to be fair. We had no right to disregard the terms of the law which permitted the corporations to subtract from their assessment the bonded DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD KIDNEY TROUBLE Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It.
