Clllllcallon Would Suffer Were the Fli»g Come l)own-\o Dan* l>«>r of MllltitrlHn»—Commer cial Cialii anil I'ronperllj • The Chicago Auditorium, on the night of. Tuesday, September ~0, was the scene of a tremendous recept.on to Senator Albert J. Heveridge, of Indiana, who spoke to an audience of pepole on the retention ol the Philippine islands by the 1 nited States. The senator's speech. was substantially as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen: 'Westward the star ol empire takes its way. Not Hie star of kingly power, lor kingdoms .tre » very where dissolving in the increasing rights of men; not the star of autocratic oppression, lor civilization is brightening and the liberties ol the people are broad ening under every tlag that floats. But the star of empire as Washington used the word when he railed this republic an em pire ' as Jefferson understood it when he d« « iared our form of government id* a lor extending 'our empire;' as Marshall understood it *h» n he ( lose d a noble period of an immortal constitutional opinion by naming the domain of the American I" o ple 'our empire.' This is the 'empire of which the prophetic voice declared 'West ward the star of empire takes its way - the star of the empire of liberty and law, of commerce* aneJ communication, <»t so cial order and the' Gospel of emr Lore, the star ot the empire of the civilization of the world. Westward that star of empire take s its course-. And to-day it illumines our path e>f duty across the Pacific into the islands and'lands where Proviele*nce has calle d us, Ir path the American government is inarching forward, opposed at everv step bv those 1 who deny the right of the republic "tci plant the institutions of the tlag where events have planted that flag itself. For this is our purpose, to perform which the* opposition to ihe government declares that the republic has no warrant in the constitution, in morals, or in the* rights of man. Anel 1 mean to examine to-night every argument they ad vance lor their policy of reaction and re treat. Some ineapalile of Self (iovernment. "It is not true, as the opposition asserts, that every race is naturally self-governing without instruction or guidance. If so, tin- Indians were capable of self-government. Our America—or is America euirs?—be longed to them, whether they wire or we re not capable- of self-government. If they were capable of self-government, it was not only wrong, but it was a crime* te» set up our inde pendent government un tin ir land without their consent, It this is true*, the Puritans, instead of being noble, are despicable* characters; and the patriots of 177»;. tej which the opposition compares the Filipinos, were only a swarm of land Pirates rebelling against their captain. If the oppeisition is right the Zulus who owned the- Transvaal were capable of self government, and the Boers who expelled them, according to the opposition, de-serve tin* abhorn !*•(* e»! righteous men." The speaker told of the benefits which Hawaii had and the Philippines would re ceive* under American rule*, anel asked: "Dare Mr. Bryan say that he would have India back to its condition before- England took it? If he* dare not, he* is answered. Dare he say that he- would witheir;*.w Kng lish rule now? If he- dare not, he is an swered. Dare he* say that he would take the English residents from tin- Malay states and turn them back again te» the tiger rule of their brutal lords? It he-dare not. he- is answered. I>are he* say that the Boers should restore* the Transvaal to its original owners? If he dare not. he is an swered. Dare he deny that the* gve-ate-st progress shown upon the* map of earth to-day is the progress of Hgypt during the last L'O years under English rule? If he* dare not . he is answereel. And he dare not. If he proclaims his trust in the Filipino people-, who know not the meaning of se-lf government, 1 declare my faith in t hp American people, who have* developed the realities of liberty." MnkiiiK it >1 Intake in Cuba, The* senator spoke* of the- good results of the Dutch occupation of Java anel the Malay peninsula, and then, coming to Cuba. added: "If the opposition declare that we ought to set up a separate government over the Philippines because we are setting up a separate government over Cuba. I answer that such an eH'or in Cuba does not justifv the same error in the Philippines. I am speaking for myself alone, but. speaking thus. I say that, for the gooel of Cuba more even than fe>r the* good of the* rnited States, a separate government over Cuba, uncon trolled by the' American republic, never should have been promised." As an American possession, he said. Cuba might se>e»n bee*ome fitted for statehood, but as an independent country he drew for it this future: "When we withdraw our restraint revo lution will succeed revolution, as in the Central and South American countries; Havana again fester with the yellow death ; systematic education again degenerate into sporadic instances; and Cuba, which under our control would have been a source of profit, power and glory to the* republic and herself, will be a source of irritation anel of loss. e»f danger and disease to both. The Cniteel States needs Cuba for our pro tection. but Cuba needs the Cniteel States for Cuba's salvation. "The resolution, hastily passed by all parties in congress at an excited hour, was an error which ye ars of time, propinquity of location, common commerce, mutual interests and similar dangers surely will correct. Our great president, jealous of American honor, rightly anxious for the good name* of the republic above every other consideration, justly counting the* fulfillment e>f national engagements the most exalted national achievement, con siders that resolution a promise. And American promise means performance. And so the unnatural experiment is to be tried. What war and nature* aye. what God bath joined together is to be* put asun der. 1 speak for myself alone, but, speak ing thus. T say that it will be an evil day for Cuba when the stars and stripes come down fre»m Morro castle." llryaii'M Plan for I'll ili r»|»inc*. Then, turning to Bryan's plan e»f pro cedure in the Philippines, he constintn el: "< 'onsider. now. tin* opposition s propose d method of procedure in the Philippines: It is to establish a stable government there, turn that government ov«*r tothc Filipinos, and protect them anel their government from mob-utation by any other nation. It is thus admitted that we must 'establish a stable government.' If we 'establish a stable government' we must see- that that stable gove rnment is maintairn d. For, it we are not going to take* care that this stable* government, which the* opposition says we must establish, is k< pt stable, why should we establish it? If the* govern ment we establish ceas» s to be stable after we turn it over to the Filipinos, how can we pre\>nt inte-rle-rence by eithrr nations, the lives and properties of whose eitize ns would be Imperile d and destroyed unless we reenter and restore the- government's stability? 'Establish government?' Why snoulel we? Have the Filipinos asked us to 'establish government* for them? How does Mr. Bryan know that the Filipinos will let us 'establish government' for them? "If the American government has been on the point of dissolution by reason of internal disturbance, how dare' we con clude that the Filipinos, those children of sedition, schooled in the practices e»f revo lution against authority, would not resist and rend in pice-es their own government? Reme r.ibe r that they are Malays. Re-me ru ber that as a rae-e they have not that civil cohesion which binds a people into a na tion. Re-me mbe r that < very island is en vious of cve-rv oth< r one; and that in each island e very offi< er is a general, jealous of his dignity, intriguing for advancement. How long would this stable gove rnme nt, which the» opposition asks us to establish, remain stable, if we withdraw our forces?" Financial Plan in Orient. In this connection the senator raised a new question, asking how Bryan would finance his Philippine government. He* said: "If. then, we 'establish a stable* govern ment.' as the opposition demands, and turn that government over te> the Filipinos, they must also borrow money. But sup pose the Philippine government cannot oay U.s 'iebt when it fallb due, as has been CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1900. the case In many Inftanr** on our t/wn continent within the last quarter o! a cen tury; as is the ease to-day with one of the governments <>t Central America. If th.it loan is an Knglish loan, England would seize the revenues of tlie Philippines f«>r the payment of her debt, as she has done before and is dcjlng now. So wouK? France or Germany or whoever was the creditor nation. Would we have a right to inter fere? Of course not, \inless we w< re willing to guarantee the Philippine debt. *ll, th»*n, the first purpose of the oppo sition candidate is carried out. we must: "Keep stable government which we first establish, or the purpose of the estab lishment of that government is defeated. "If tin- second proposition of the "opposi tion is performed, we must: "First, control the finances of the Phil ippines perpetually; or. "Second, guarantee tlie loans the Phil ippine government makes with other na tions: or. "Third, goto war with those nations to defeat their collection of their just debts. "Is this sound policy? Is it profitable? Is it moral? Is it just to the Filipinos, to the world, to ours# Ives? Is it humane to the masses of those children who need first of all. and more than all, order, law and peace? Is it prudent, wise, far-seeing statesmanship? And does the adoption of a similar course in Cuba justify it in the Philippines? SuftKCKtn Program for (■ovarii men 112. "Here is the program of reason and righteousness, and time and events will make it the program of the republic: "First, we have given Porto Rico such a c ivil government as her situation demands under the stars and stripes. "Second, we will put down the rebellion and then give the Philippines such a civil government as the situation demands, un der the stars and stripes. "Third, we are regenerating Cuba, and when our pre paratory work is done we should have given Cuba such a civil gov ernment as her situation may demand, un der the stars and stripes. "The sovereignty of the stars and stripes can be nothing but a blessing to any peo ple and t«> any land." Commercial liulii for Philippine*. The commercial advantages to this coun try of keeping the Philippines formed an other chapter in the senator's speech. Said he: "To-day our trade in manufactured ar ticles. as well as in the products of the farm, is chiefly with Europe. Our agricul tural trade will continue to dominate old world markets, although It will not absorb all our surplus, Uut our manufactured trade with them is nearly at its zenith. Evi ry year we buy $300,(>00,000 of tropical products. To-day we pay much ol this vast amount in money. Suppose we paid for this in products which our artisans and mechanics make and our farmers raise? Think of the markets that would mean for every American factory and farm! And remember that wages and prices depend on markets, not money, and prosperity de pends on wages and prices. And consider the- incalculable benefit to both if this tre mendous trade is between the- American people and their own possessions! And then contemplate the magnitude of the markets which those possessions command in addition to their own markets! "The mercantile argument is mighty with Americans in merely mercantile times, and it should be so. Rut the argu ment of destiny is the master argument In the hour of destiny, and it should 1>» so. The American people never yet entered on a great movement forme-rely mercantile reasons. Sentiment and duty have starte d and controlled every noble current of American history. And at this historic hour destiny is the controlling eonsidera | tion in the- prophetic statesmanship which conditions require of the American people. "History establishes these propositions: "First, every people who have become great have become colonizers or adminis trators. "Second, through the- colonization ai <1 administration their material and political greatness develops. "Third, their decline is coincident with their abandonment e»f their policy of pos session and administration, or departure from the true* principles thereof. IlenifH Danger of Militarism. The opposition, he continued, says all this means a large army and a military control. This the senator denied, saying: "The greatest colonial power that the world has ever seen, thee mpire of (Ireat Rritalri has a smaller standing army in times e»f peace than any power of Europ» less than half av many as (iermanv. almost two-thirds less than the soldiers of France, nearly one-third less than the soldiers maintained by Austria, an absolutely non eolonizing power. "What is it that establishes militarism in Oermanv? On the west the immediate proximity of France. h» r hereditary foe. de termined on Germany's destruction. On the east the immediate proximity of Rus sia. her hereelitarv foe; on the south the immediate proximity of an heterogeneous em of re, destined to dismemberment, in the swiftly approaching future. What is it that establishes militarism in France? The immediate proximity of Germany on the east, her hereditary foe, against whom she has sworn a national vendetfa; the imme diate proximity of England on the north, an enemy at whose hands centuries of de feat has loaded France's blood with the pol*on of hatred; the immediate proximity of Italv on the south, the third of the anti- Freneli dreibund. These are the things which establish militarism in Europe— not ce»lonization. not possessions, not obe dience to the great natural law <sf expan sion and growth " Prodirtu n Prospermia F'ntnre. Tn conclusion the senator predict'd a hapov and prosperous future for the Phil ippines. saying: "Of these institutions, the American con stitution is the highest, noblest and ulti mate e\Pr»-s ion: and so our constitution can crow only where the* simple r forms of our institutions have already prepared the way. Therefore, our eonstiiutlon may fol low the flair, but our institutions do follow the flag". Our constitution did not create our institutions; our Institutions created our eonstitulion. "Free institutions are as definite, certain, end concrete as our constitution itself, free speech is an institution of liberty. ?.-v ce* schools are an institution of liberf'v. The freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience is an institu tion of liberty. Any .American schoolboy can catalogue free institutions And as fast as the simplest of th'-se Institutions pre pares th' se children Providence has uiven into our keeping for higher grades just that fast more complex forms of our institu tions will follow. "And so the answer to the politician's battlccrv that 'the constitulon follows the flag' is this great truth of popular liberty, our institutions follow the flag. "Our institutions not onlv the Hair, thev accompany it. Thev troop be neath its folels of glory. Wherever an American e-itiz# n goes In carries the spirit of our institutions. On whatever soil his blood is shed to establish the sovereignty or our fl.'". r . there are planted the imnerish able seeds of the institutions the na tion: and there those institutions flourish in proportion as the soil where they are planted is prepared for them. Predict* American Mastery. "Men—patriotic, brave and wise—have nought to stay that tremendous purpose of destiny, but their opposition was as the; fing« r of a babe against the resistless pour of the gulf stream's mighty current. Iwr God's hand was in it all. Tils plans wcm working out their glorious results. Ann just as futile is resistance to the contin uance to-day of the eternal movement e»f the American people toward the mastery of th.e world. This is a destiny neither vague nor undesirable. It Is definite, splendid and holy. When nations shall war 110 more without the consent of the American re public; what American heart thrills not with pride at that prospect? And yet our interests are weaving themselves so^rap idly around the world that that time is almost here. When governments stay the slaughter of human beings, because the Americ an republic demands it; what Ame r ican heart thrills not with pride at that orospect? And yet to-night there sits in Constantinople a sovereign who knows that that time Is nearly here. When the* commerce of the world on which the- world's | peace hangs, traveling every ocean high w i\ of earth, shall pass beneath the guns of the great r< public; what Arm « ic an heart thrills i.ol at that prospict? Vet that time wfll be Inn before the second admin istration of the last American president of the ninenteenth century arid the- first president of the* twentieth century, Wil liam McKinloy. When any changing of the map of earth reepiln s a conference of tho powers, and when, at any congress of the nations, the America! republic will pre side as the most powc rful of powers and most righteous of judges: what American heart thrills not at that prospect? And yet. that prospect is at hand, even as I sneak. It is the high and holy destiny of the- American people, and from that des tiny the American bugles will never sound retreat. 'Westward the star of empire takes Its way.' " SANK IN MID-OCEAN. The llrlllnli ship Nonpareil FuiiiKlcra A Timely II<•»< »«■ of the Crew. Xew ork, Oct. 1. —Tin* liritNn tramp steamer (ilenfjoil, which arriv ed Sunday from Alexandria, and other ports in the Mediterranean, brought into port shipwrecked seamen, taken from the Kritish ship >'oll p:ireil on September Their vessel foundered shortly after tlicy abandoned her. ('apt. Matlield on his arrival here reported that bis ship, the Vonpareil, sailed from New York 011 September 10, botnid for Soiiri bava, Java, with a eariro of ease oil. Two days after leaving Sandy Ifook a strong southwest ffale sprang' iifi and soon assumed the proportions of a hurricane. The seas boarded the vessel fre quently. tons of water falling 1 upon the deck, doing considerable dam;.-;-' to the fittings, and finally throwiu • the vessel on her beam ends. Tli • Nonpareil remained in this position mid all efforts to right her were tin availing. The storm '•onlinued until the Kith at noon and then moderated, t>lll the sea continued to run very high. It was found that the cement along the port side of the waterways and the stannchions had started and strained so violently that tin" decks had also started. The large spare spar which had been secured to eve bolts in the deck on the port side broke adrift, wrenching the eyebolts out of the decks. All riiese damages opened up the decks and let a lot if water into the hold. Conditions con tinued to grow worse for several days and en Monday. September 17, tie wind increased to a fresh gale and vim ship was under water on the port side. The gale became so violent tb•; vrew were set to work throwing over tlie cargo. Unsettled weather and a very rough sea continued throughout Tuesday and Wednesday and on Thursday there was much heavy lightning aril violent squalls. The seas, widen swept over the vessel, washed every thing from the decks, 'illed the deck houses and smashed the en bin sky lights. The cabin was filled with wa ter up to the deck. At 3 o'clock in the morning'of Saturday, the 2:3 d, tli'i ship was lying at an angle of 4(1 de grees and the crew were in constant danger of being washed overboard. The chief officer and several men had been injured. At !:!!< o'clock in the afternoon the smoke of a steamer was sighted and as she came nearer she sighted tie; wreck and headed toward it. The steamer proved to lie the (llengoil, bound to New York. She hove to and sent a boat and took off part of the men, the injured being sent first.

Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap plied. the weary patient seldom survives. Being 1 fully, aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham. early in her career, gave ex haustive study to the subject, and in produc ing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is: Aug. f>, 1809. " DEAR MRS.
