Obituary notices over five lines, ten cents per advocate the retention of the Philippines is to advocate imperial ism. Imperialism, is it? And we :houldn'< keep the Philippines? Then let us be consistent. Let us be consistent. Let us send for Spain and say to her: "Here take back Florida We should not have taken it for that was imperialism." And let us send for France and say to her: "Here is the great Louis iana purchase. We give it back to you. To retain it is imperial ism." And then let us call in Mexico and turn over to her Texas and California, and beseech Russia io resume sovereignty over Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Every step toward territorial expansion in these directions is just as much imperialism as is the absorption of Puerto Rico and Manila. It is the very height of absurdity, this meaningless cry of imperialism ! hat Bryan and Bailey and other 'Democratic leaders are raising. We are not looking for trouble with foreign nations, and we are going upon the war path for the -ake of conquest, but we are look ing for commercial expansion, and the eyes of all Europe are turned upon the commercial field that China offers. There is not an European power that would not jump at the c hance of securing the Philippines. Their possession pushes us right into the commercial rivalry of the far cast and gives us an important standing. With Hawaii, Quain and Manila we shall have a string of possessions and naval stations extending right across the Pacific, and they will all he useful and valuable to us and vastly more useful when the Nica rauga ('anal is constructed. The United States is too hig to be governed by a narrow policy. Let us extend our commercial im portance and not lie turned aside even so much as a hair's breadth by the parrot like cry of imperial ism. the last straw for the drown ing Democratic leaders to grasp at. WASHINGTON LETTER. (Front our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, IS9S. Xo other country ever did. and it is not likely that any other country ever will, in the short space of three months and a half tight such a remarkable war as the U. S. has just fought to a success ful close. It was one line of suc cesses, without even a single set back from Dewey's victory in Manilla Bay to the acceptance of the terms of peace, by the French Ambassador, authorized to act for Spain. Without detracting in the slightest degree from the honors a grateful country are paying the heroes who participated in the fighting, it is well to call attention to the fact that there is a man in Washington, to whose iron will and sleepless energy more credit is due for the glorious results and ending of the war than to any other single individual. That man is William McKinley, who has shown himself worthy to be the Chief Executive of the greatest and strongest nation that the world has ever seen, by gaining the admira tion, love and confidence of our own people, and the respect of the entire civilized world. lie has raised the United States to a higher position than it has ever occupied in the eyes of the world, and yet, he is as unostentatious as he was when serving in the house, and has no pride other than that which every man lias who conscientiously performs his duty. Every Ameri can can point with pride to Presi dent McKinley and say to less favored nations: This is the sort of a man that a free country pro duces at need. The members of the military, commissions, that are to act with Spanish commissioners, at San Juan, Porto Rico, and Havana in arranging for the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rieo, by Spanish troops, will be selected this week, but there is no special hurry about selecting the live peace commis sioners that are to negotiate the formal treaty of peace between the I'. S. and Spain, as the Commis sion will not meet until Oct. Ist, at Paris, and the President wishes time to select the very best men to be had. All of the revenue cutters that were transferred from the Treasury Department to the Navy Depart ment at the beginning of the war, have been ordered back into the Treasury Service, and they will, as fast as possible, resume their peace ful avocation of watching for violators of the tariff laws. President McKinley took occa sion in a letter declining an invi tation from Gen. Breckenridge to review the troops at Chickamauga Park, because of his inability to get away from Washington, to say a few words that will do much to soften the bitter disappointment of the thousands of volunteers who had no opportunity to do any fighting. These words were: "The | highest tribute that can be paid to j the soldier is to say that he per- t formed bis full duty. The field of duty is determined by his govern ment, and wherever that chances to be is the place of honor. All have helped in the great cause, whether in camp or battle, and when peace comes all will be alike entitled to the nation's gratitude."' Gov. Otero, of New Mexico, who ) is visiting Washington, said: "President McKinley's adminis tration is immensely popular with us, and right here I want to say that New Mexico is as loyal and patriotic as any state or territory in the Union. Because many of our people are of Spanish descent, a lot of foolish stuff has been written accusing them of siding with Spain. A greater slander was never perpetrated. Our ter- I ritory raised five companies of j Hough Riders, three of which did i magnificent service in the hard j lighting in front of Santiago. The i captain of one of them, Max Luna, I ol' Spanish lineage, especially dis- I languished himself in the charge at San Juan. It was reported that he was killed, but he is very much ! CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1898. alive, and it wouldn't be astonish ing if his Republican friends in sisted upon nominating and elect ing him to Congress." None of the volunteers are likely to be mustered out of service for some time to come. This state ment is made upon Secretary Alger's authority. While the matter has not been definitely de termined, the Secretary thinks that the garrisons that will have to be maintained in Cuba and Porto Rico, will be made up entirely of | volunteers, divided as far as pos sible between the troops of all the states, the regulars being returned to the forts and army posts from ! which they were taken. As yet, ' 110 one can do more than guess at j the number of men we shall send 1 to Cuha when the Spanish troops are withdrawn, and unless there is absolute necessity for sending them | before, the President does not wish | our troops togo until cool weather. While there is no reason to be lieve that the present temporary peace will not be permanent, 110 j chances are to be taken. Each vessel in our Navy, that is where jit can be done, is to be thoroughly overhauled and putin first-class fighting condition as fast as the work can be done. An Enterprising Druggist. There are few men more wide awake | and enterprising than L. Taggart who I spares no pains to secure the best of | everything in his line for his many ! customers.
