The President** Policy Dcllncd by Hi HIM elf iu I'rrfcrtl) Plain TerniM. The words spoken by President Mc- Kill ley the other day in regard to his Philippine polity were definite and cer tain enough 1o any logical mind. Their significance was completely missed by alleged public guides, who evidently re quire to be furnished with an under standing ay well as with declarations. But -the Pittsburgh speech is culeu lated to drive the president's meaning home to every citizen of ordinary intel ligence. It was explicit, positive, un mistakable, It was an argument, but it was also a challenge. The president assumed the offensive and handled his anti-imperialistic detractors without gloves. Speaking of the soldiers w ho had the privilege of being mustered out in April and who preferred to remain in the service, the president said: "They did not stack arms. They did not run away. They were not serving the in surgents in the Philppines or their sympa thizers at home. They had no part or pa tience with the men, few in number hap pily, who would have rejoiced to have seen them lay down their arms in the presence of an enemy whom they had just emanci pated from Spanish rule and who should have been our firmest friends." And what the cause for which these brave and patriotic men fought and suf fored and fell? The answer is found in the following pregnant and pointed sentences: "Peace brought us the Philippines, by treaty cession from Spain. The senate of the United States ratified the treaty. Kvery step taki-n was in obedience to the ritiuire ments of the constitution. It became our territory and is ours, as much as the Louis iana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body of insurgents, in no sense representing the STILL PREFERS THE FIRST-BORN. When a new baby Is born in a household the pa»ents do not expel the otl children. —W. J. Bryan, at Kansas City. sentiment of the people of the islands, dis puted our lawful authority, and even lie fore the ratiticatio. cf ihu treaty by the American senate were uttacklnf? the very forces who fought for and secured their freedom." In other words, the American soldiers fought to assert and maintain American supremacy over territory rightfully and legally belonging to the United States. They fought a small minerity of aggressive insurgents who did not represent the natives and had never obtained the "consent of the gov erned." This minority reciprocated kindness with cruelty, mercy with bul lets. II interpreted humanity as weak ness and assailed our rights and inter fered with the discharge of our interna tional obligations. The president takes all the responsibility for the Philip pine war, and he announces that there will be no more parleying, "no pause until the insurrection is suppressed and the American authority acknowledged and established." And what is to follow peace? "A government under the undisputed sov- ' ereignty of the United States, a govern ment which will do justice to all and at once encourage the hist efforts and as pirations of these distant peoples and the highest development of their rich and fertile lands." Tlic Philippines, in fine, are treated now as American ter ritory. as much as Porto Hieo and Alas ka, t»s much as Louisiana was after the purchase. This is the executive's pol icy. This is the policy he is now pursu ing and commending to the people. The people, acting through congress, are at liberty to modify this policy. They have the riglit and the power to give the Philippines independence at any time. The executive has not the authority to take any such step. lie keeps the fruits of the war, the fruits of the ponce negotiations. As we have already said, the r< publican party will follow the president and come out for permanent retention of the eastern is lands. The democrats will oppose it and appeal to the electorate.

"If there ever was a liuie in the his tory of the United States," says the deiiioeratie Nashville American, "when the true-blue American citizen should show his love of country it is at this juncture. On the bloodstained fields ol Luzon thousands of our countrymen tire heroically battling 1 under the stars .nd stripes." Many other southern democratic papers are taking a:i equal ly patriotic position. The Louisville Courier-Journal, the Xew Orleans Pic ayune, the Chattanooga Times and otli ei ; rominent papers in their section art demanding a vigorous prosecution ol the war until American sovereignty is recognized in all parts of the domair which .Spain ceded to the United Statef in the treaty of peace. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, whe returned to Washington the other day from a trip to the Pacific eosst, reported that the entire west was solid for ex pansion. Expansion sentiment is evi dently almost as widely diffused through the south. As has been shown ihe leading newspapers of that region are for a vigorous assertion of the na tional authority in the Philippines, ant in all the rest of our domain in whicl) it. may In resisted. Those papers musl represent the sentiment of their com munity 011 this issue. There ara good reasons for believing that the east ii almost as earnest for expansion as the west or the south.

The whole country is for the assertion of the na tional authority over the territory Which we gained in the war of 1898. The policy of the administration in pressing the war to an early and glo rious conclusion will be indorsed by an overwhelming number of the American people.

Philadelph.ll, Sept. <">.—Tuesday was the big day of the Grand Army en campment. The presence in the city of President, McKinlcy increased the interest and his drive over the route of the parade aroused the greatest, en thusiasm among the throngs 011 the streets. Admiral Sampson and the captains of his fleet called upon the president before 9 o'clock. Afterward the presidential party, including this admiral and the captains, entered car riages and went over the route of the parade. The distance covered by the parade whs five miles. Independence hall was passed during the march and caps were lif|i>d and colors dipped by the veterans. Post No. 1, from Hock ford, 111., the oldest post in the Grand Army, headed the line. From the fronts of the buildings to the curb the people were packed in a solid mass, and even, breathing was difficult. As a result of the crush about 401) men, women and chil dren were overcome aiuT taken to vari ous hospital:!. The parade was six hours in passing the reviewing stand. About 35,000 men were in line. After a portion had passed, these veterans bringing up the rear, the, president left to visit Admiral Sampson's fleet. Gov. Stone of the Department, of Pennsylvania reviewing the remainder of the proces sion. As the various posts passed in review the president stood smiling and bow in pf, and on numerous occasions waved his hand to the more enthusiastic of the marchers. When the torn battle flag's were dipped in salute he joined in the applause. The visit, of the president to the squadron proved to be the greatest marine spectacle ever seen here. It was the intention to have Mr. McKin ley visit only the Xew York, but he grew so enthusiastic over the great fighters that he made up his mind to inspect all of them. Accordingly lie visited the flagship New York, cruiser Brooklyn and the battleships Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas. It was his intention to also visit, the cruiser De troit. but, he was unable to do so on account of lack of time. There was almost a continuous roar of guns dur ing the one and three-quarters hours that it took to inspect the vessels. In all 402 guns were fired. At. 1:1") the president boarded the barge. He was accompanied by Secretaries Hoot and \\ ilson, Commander Winslow, Mayor Ash bridge and Senator Sewall. Every vessel in the harbor propelled by steam let its whistle go and this with the cheers of the crowd on shore made a deafening noise. The president was the first to step on board the flagship, and as he did so the entire squadron belched forth the president's salute of 21 guns, or 12(5 guns in all. The bands of all the ships simultaneously played '"Hail to the Chief.'' The presi dent was received at the gangway by ({ear Admiral Sampson and the staff officers of the ship. The rail was manned by the men during the formal greeting. The call to quarters was Ihen sounded and every man on board ship sprang to his place just as though an engagement was about to start. The sight, greatly pleased the presi dent. Mr. McKinley was then shown over the. whole ship. As he left the Xew York the entire fleet, again fired the president's salute. Capt. Taylor was at the gangway of the Indiana when the chief executive came aboard and was greeted again by 21 guns. The battleship, like the Xew York, was also cleared for ac tion, with the ammunition up. From the Indiana the president was rowed to the Massachusetts, Brooklyn and Texas. lie did not inspect these ves sels, but contented himself by greet ing the commanders of each. Enthusiasm was rampant last, night. Wherever President McKinley ap peared lie received a tremendous ova tion, particularly at the Academy of Music, where the Grand Army was officially welcomed to the city and state by Mayor Ashbridge and Gov. Stone. The president was introduced as "Comrade" McKinley. and made a short address. Gen. Sickles made a brief address, expressing his admira tion for the nation's chief executive. A few minutes later the presidential party, with Admiral.Sampson and his staff, left the Academy of Music and proceeded to Odd Fellows' hall, where President McKinley was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered by George (>. Meade post, Lafayette post, of New York, and Kingsley post, of Boston. The distinguished visitors were ffriven through the "Avenue of Fame," which for the first time they saw illuminated. Immense throngs surged through the avenue and the cheering was deaf ening. When the chief executive en tered the banqueting hall all present arose and ehered their distinguished comrade. When the president was introduced by the toastmaster to the diners he made a brief speech. Secretary lioot and Prof. Sclnirman made brief addresses in which they referred to the war in the Philippines, \ Hot Wnvo.

The number of members in good standing June .If), ISM. was 257,9M. Senior Vice Commander .Johnson as commander-in-chief was elected to serve the unexpired term of the lain Col. Sexton. Commander Johnson will continue in office until the end of this encampment. Daniel Foss, of Wilmington. Del., junior vice commander, was elected To the office of senior vice commander, succeeding Col. Johnson. The surireon general. Albert S. Pierce, reported that during the past. IS rnonlhs It,OS.'! deaths had occurred lin the Orand \rtny. There are, the report, states. 3,072 deserving sick and maimed soldiers not receiving pen sions. In the government and state homes for soldiers and sailors there are 0,4 M inmates, and ">4 old sailors, and soldiers are in almshouses. In his report Daniel If. Lucas, ehap lain-in-ehief. states that there are 6,- fiS2 soldiers' graves unmarked. The first business after recess was the selection of a place for the next encampment and Chicago was chosen bv acclamation. The report of the committee on pensions was then read and a motion was made to refer it to the committee on resolutions. This created much discussion, many of the delegates favoring the immediate adoption of a resolution covering the evils mentioned in the report. After a discussion lasting nearly four hours the report was referred hack to the committee on pensions, with inslruc tions~that it lie presented at to-day's session embodying recommendations and resolutions. The compiaint of the veterans as contained in the pension committee's report is that the law governin«r the granting' of pensions is misconstrued by the pension examiner. The re port is not critical, but is said to con tain a statement of facts as they exist in the pension department. There were lively times' at the an nual convention of the National Asso ciation of Naval Veterans. A resolu tion providing for the admission of participants in the Spanish war to membership in the association started a rumpus and the result was that there is now a >-1»Iit in the organiza tion. At the convention held in Cin cinnati last September the resolution above mentioned was introduced, and was laid over until this year. Num bers of speeches were made and the vote on the resolution was overwhelm ingly againsx admitting' the men of the lnte war. When the result was announced, the delegates from New York and the delegates from the Ad miral Hoggs association, of Newark, N. ,T., walker! out in a body. It 's their intention to start an opposition association to lie known as the I'niteri States Veteran Navy and the head quarters will probably he in New York. The bolters claim they will get nearly -00 members from the Naval Veterans' association and will admit to membership all those who were in the navy during the Spanish war. The !7th annual convention of the Women's Relief Corps began Wednes day morning. Nearly 300 delegates, representing every state in the Union, were present.

STORY SOUNDED WELL. Bat There Won Itenson to Ilellev* Tliat It Wax iVot Wholly True. "Wh en I first went west," tells a retired bu sines* man, who now does nothing in the way of work except to mow the lawn anil gee that the cat is in the barn at night, "this maimed hand paved my life. "Is that so?" asked the visiting neighbor, who knew that this form of invitation would be sufficient to insure the story. "Yes, that's right. If I hadn't lost that first finger when I was a boy I wouldn't be here now. .lim Dixon and me were tradin with the Indians. We exchanged beads, fake jewelry and bright calico for furs. All the buffalo were not gone then and we did a good business. One time we happened to strike a wandering band of savages that held us up on sight and it was plain from the way the red devils danced around us that we were to lie put to death after the Indian fashion. All at once 1 recalled that a good many of the Indians knew me as the •four-fingered' trader who was always on the level with those wild merchants, so I held up the hand and kept it up till one of the young bucks let out a significant grunt and "then hurried to the chief in command. He came to me in a dignified manner, ex amined the hand, grunted about 16 times while deliberating, said 'How,' and released me as well as my partner. We were treated right up to the handle and permitted to de part when we wanted to. It was the closest squeak and the worst scare I had out in that country when near calls and heart-failure frights were the rule." "Brave man," said one neighbor to an other, as they walked awaj-.

One of the Bohemian citizens of the town went home the other night after having donned a pair of skates that would have slid him over an Arizona desert with the mer cury bubbling out of the top of the thermom eter. He had no recollection of how he got home, and even the next morning he was not certain whether he was on a storm tossed Atlantic liner or making a leap from a balloon minus a parachute. He went down to the breakfast table with enough wet towels wrapped around his head to make a turban for the malidi. His wife met him with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not scold him. She wanted to inform him of his conduct the night before, however. "My dear," she said, "did you know that you came very near killing us all when you went to bed last night?" "Nope," said her husband, thickly, as he felt his hot forehead. "Well, you did. You knocked over the baby's cradle. Then you blew out the gas and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do yon think of that?' Her husband is usually a resourceful man, but the fumes of many cocktails taken the night before somewhat clouded his intellect. He made a grand brace and •tried to look pa thetic. "M'love," he said, as a ray of inspiration burst through his brain, "wasn't I here to die with you?' —Washington Poet. Qneerness of Men.
