The president may have forgotten that he, before the treaty was ratified (six weeks before), issued a proclama- tion to the Filipinos asserting that the cession of the islands was complete, and that our military government would be extended to “the whole” of Philippine territory. He may have for. gotten that this proclamation was a groas violation of the constitution, void both in morals and in law. He may have forgotten that, irrespective of the legal aspect of the proclamation, it was drawn in such an excess of wane tonly tyrannical language, that Gen, Otis was alarmed, and tried to sup- press it, fearing that its publication would drive the Filipinos to instant in- surrection. It was published by accl- dent, and the insurrection followed. All these facts Mr. McKinley may have forgotten, but the future historian will not forget them; neither will he for- get to charactérize the conduct of a ruler who tried to shuffle away from the consequences of his own inconsid- erate action. elweoeen nies tro pe ry has another in as The Election in Maine. If the Hon. Mark Hanna can draw any comfort from the returns of the Maine election he is welcome to the enjoyment of it. An unusually active and earnest canvass had been made In the hope of securing such a majority as would impress the country with the belief that the people have implicit confidence in the McKinley administra- tion. The most distinguished orators of the country were brought in and the strongest defense of the president's course that it was possible to invent and present was made. But the result is not reassuring to the Republican. managers. On the contrary, it is most discouraging, *= * "=. = Am «m———— gd The Centre Reporter oue dollar, * STOCK SHIPPING. ped from Gentre Hall, Active Work, Btation agent F.

The evidences of an existing political partnership between Mr. Croker and Senator Platt, of New York, are strong and numerous, The advantage to each in such a “pooling of issues” is pal- pable. But it is equally clear that if there is such a political firm as Croker & Platt there is a third partner, who, though silent, is quite as deeply inter- ested In the concern as either of the others. The silent partner in the con- cern is Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Some months ago it was charged that Mr. Croker and Mr. Platt were inter ested with the mayor of New York In a trust to control the ice supply of the city and extort big profits from the sufferings of the poor. Governor Roose. velt expreasod the most intense indig- nation at the time and declared that if the facts were as alleged he would use his authority as governor to re- move the mayor and otherwise punish the conspirators against the health of the people of the city. The investiga. tion proceeded, the disgraceful facts were revealed, but the governor has not acted. The reason ia obvious. Governor Roosevelt and Senator Platt are so closely bound together in their political relations that an expos ure of one involves the diagrace of both, The removal of Mayor Van Wyck will be followed by a complete exposure of the conspiracy to rob the public by over charging for ice, and Platt and Roosevelt will be as deep In the mire as Croker and Van Wyck are in the mud. For that reason the promise enforce the law made by Roosevelt three months ago fs-sudll unfulfilied, - NO. Al TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. | HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL FROM ALL INTEREST PARTS.
