A. Gard- ner of St. Louls secured the floor and moved the adoption of resolutions which he presented. These slightly differed from the Wetmore resolutions nffered early 'n the fon and prebipitated another lively debate. The point of discussion was more whether the proposition would be looked upon as - partisan action by the congress than on the merits of the case. Little of importance had been left over for this elosin lon, so the attendance mall, but the warmth of the debate made up for that. A vote was finally reached before 11 o'clock, and by a vote ©f 190 to 20 the resolutions were adopted aa follows: ‘Where: The trust system has been and is & menace to republican institutions, and, hereas, It allowed to form combinations in restraint of trade and the elimination of competition the wealth of the entire country will be concentrated in the hands of a few, and, ‘Whereas.

Yet it Is well worth while to think of it and it Is pleasant to learn by an experlence which teaches us what to follow instead of what to avold.

Tt is. rare indeed that A great work, 4 work supremely worth doing, can be done save at the tost not only of labor and toll, but of much pussling worry dur- ing the time of- the performance.

Timid people, people scant of falth and hope, and people Who aré not accus- tomed to the roughness of the life of ef- fort, are almost sure to be disheartened and’ dismayed by the work and the worry, and overmuch cast down by the shortcom- ings, actual or seeming, which in real life always accompany the first stages even of what eventually turn.out to be the most brilljant victories. All thig le trus of what has happened ring the last féur years in the Philip- nds. The Spanish war itself was y task, but It left us certain other tasks ‘which' were much more diffioult. One of these tadks waa that of dealing with the Philippines. The easy thing to. do— the thing which appealed not only to laz; and selfish man, but to very many goo men whose™ thought did not drive them down to the rot of things, was to leave the slands. Some Other Nation's Chance. Had we done this a period of wild chaos would have supervened and some stronger power would have stepped in and selzed the fslands and have taken up the task which we in such .a case would have flinched from performing. A less easy but infinitely more absurd course would have been to leave the islands ourseives and at the same timfe to assert that we would not permit anyone else to interfers with them. This particular course would have combined ail the possible dis- advantages of every other course whioh wes advocated. It would haye placed us in a humillating position, because, when the actual test came 1t would have been quite out of the question because .some striking deed of savagery had been com- mitted in the islands to stand by and pre- vent the re-entry of civilization into them, while the mare fact of our having threat- ened thus fo guarantee the local tyrants and wrongdoers against outside interfer- ence by ourselyes and others would have Ut & premium upon every species of yranny and anarehy within the islands. Success Crowns AlL Finally there was the course Which we adopted—not an_easy course, but one fraught with Janger and aifcuity, as is generally the case in this world when &reat feat is to be accomplished as cldent to working oat national destiny. Weo made up our minds to stay in the islands, to put down violence, to establisy peace, and order, and then to introduce & Just dnd wise civil rule accompanied by a nieasure of self-government which should ivcrease as rapidly as the islands showed themselves ready for it. Well, it was a formidable task, but think of the marvel- ously succeseful'way in which it has been accomplished. he first and. yitally important feat was the establishment of the supremacy of the of the American flag and this had to be done by the effort-of those gallant fellow- Amer 9f wuie iv wiom 8o great & debt is due—tlie officers and enllsted men of the United States army, regulars and volunteers allke.
