Don Emilio Aguinaldo.
IlltereHlnp: side-light,, on tho i hur
ncter of our Filipino ally ot jesterday
and foe of today. i:niIlio Agulnaldo.
are suppliefl In a communication to
the Chicago Retold by Joseph L. Stlck
ney, tlie e-naal ofllfer who, as a
cortespondent fur the New Yoik Her
ald stood beside Dewey on the bildgo
if tho Olympl.i duiing tho sea battle
of Manila. Tor s week-, Sir. Stlck
uey saw Aguiimldo almost dally ami
had an oppoitunlt to get some Idea ot
the man.
Mr. Ktickney ei edits Agulnaldo with
uueommon shrewdness and thinks thrt
in cunning ln ha, ovcim.uchtd all of
those who hae gone up against him:
but his Impressions as to Agulnaldo's
iharactci aie not rearming. He olu-.
the case of the oung nians sell-out
to Spain which took place In 1S07. This
em .listed In a purchase of the iiiiitr-
gent leaders tor the sum of JS00 Oflu
(Mexican), equal lo about $100,000 in
gold. Agulnaldo and his associates
agiced to sui render all the aims in
tho possession of the natives and to
iult the ateliipelago, remaining away
at tho pleasuie of the Spanish govern
ment, and to use their utmost influ
ence to disband and disarm all the In
surgent foit'LS. Agulnaldo was to go
lo Hong Kong to receive the Hist In
stallnient of the Spanish monej,
amounting to JIOO.OOO (Mexican), and
lie was then to cable to Attacho, who
suuendered. himself to the captain gen
eral as n hostage On teeelving Aguln
aldo'n cable message that tho money
had been paid Attacho was to dissolve
tho insuigent organization, disband
the troops nnd give up their arms.
"This pan of the progiamme," wiltcs
Mr. Stlcknej. "was cauled out In De
cember, 1S97, or the early pan of .Tan
uaiy, 1&9S. The cash payment was di
vided among the junta and Agulnaldo
started for Paris He had gono no fai
ther than Slngapoie, however, when
tho destruction of tho Maine In Ha
vana haibor brought on an acute ten
sion of the relations between tho United
States and Spain, and he remained In
Singapore to see whether the Filipinos
might not pi ollt by Spalu'ci dlflicultiesj.
It was then that oecuired th" negotia
tions with our worthy repies.-ntatlve,
Corsul Pratt, which, Agulnaldo now
kilins, In pait Justify his asset tlon
that the United States mado an alli
ance with him by which ho was to
assist In expelling the Spanlurds lrom
the Philippines, and In letuin the Unit
ed States wa, lo recognize tho Inde
pendence ot tho Filipino republic. U
l, of course, Impossible to tell how big
a fool an Ameilcan consul U capable
of being, but developments at Singa
pore and Hong Kong lead to the be
lief that the ruooid lias lecomly been
advanced u long distance. No one need
suppose, however, that Senor Aguln
nldo was deceived as to the authority
of a mere consul to bind our govern
ment. He Is altogether too shrewd and
loo well rend to have any Illusions,
though of course now It suits his game
to iet up the claim that his return to
Cavlte was due to the solicitations and
agreements of our consular ipprrsm
tntlves." To show how well Agulnaldo has
studied tho situation Mr. Stlckney ie-calls-
a Lonveisatlon between that
wot thy and General Andeison, the
commander of tho Hi at detnehment of
Amcrhan Hoops landed nt Cavlte. It
should, thinks the prwnt narrator, he
romembeied that Agulnaldo hud prob
ably never tegaided the United States
as anything moio than a geographical
expitssiou until within live months pie
edlng this conversation, for no on
had ever thought of the possibility ' i
our Int"ifelenco with the futuie of tin
Philippine archipelago - Agulnaldo at
his tccond or third meeting with Uen
eral Andeison asked him point-blank
whether the United States had an
Intention of tteatlng tho Philippines ns
colonics. As Oeneinl Anderson had no
ouleis or authority to levcal the pol
lej of his government he leplled that
he rotild not answer thnt question: hut,
be added, the United States bad been
a nation for more than 120 years with
out colonies, and Agulnaldo could Judge
for himself whether out government
would tiv to colonize a distant tenl
tory at this late day. "That Is true,"
replied Agulnaldo, "and besides I have
lead the constitution of the United
States very caiefully, and I cannot
llnd In It any provision for colonies "
This man who now delict, us owes to
Admlial Dewey his tiansportatlon to
t'nvlte fionv Hong Kong nnd to tho
fiiendly nsslstanre of the United States
all the power and piestige that he now
enjoys among his people. He is evi
dently an egotist and an lngrate, and
the sooner the senate frees the presi
dent's hand so that fiteps may bo taken
to call a halt on Agulnnldo's swaggei
the better It will be for all concerned.
In the case of Cornelius Smith It will
be noted that he li'is been the persist
ent architect of his own misroi tunes.
Tactics like his Invariably lecoll .
Tax Revision.
A concurrent resolution Is now befoie
the leglslatuie providing that a com
mittee be appointed, consisting of five
members of the houso and three liiem
beis of tho sennte, to ascertain fioni
the boards of county commissioners the
assessed valuation of nil the teal es
tate and personal propeity In their re
spective counties and the num
ber of mills levied for poor
tax, road tax nnd school tax
in tho seveial districts in their le
spectlve counties. This is for the pur
pose of ascertaining the exact number
ot mills leal estate and petsonal prop
eity, subject to local taxation, has to
pay under tho present system. Tha
committee is also to ascertain tiom the
auditor general or the presidents, scc
letailes and tieasurors ot the seveial
coipotatlons of all kinds doing or car
rying on business in this common
wealth, the -value or amount Invested
In and by their seveial coipotatlons,
and the amount of state taxation they
have been paying, if any, and the num
ber ot mills on each dollar Invested.
The whole Inquiry Is for the put pose
of ascertaining th" differences In the
amount of tuxes paid by real, personal
and corporate property, and the total
amount paid by all, nnd the totnl as
sessed valuation of all real, personnl
and coiporatc pioperty combined, and
to further asceitaln the number of
mills It would icquiie to be levied on
all of said piopoiths on a Just and
equal basis.
Inasmuch as the lesolutlon calls for a
complote report by Match 1, giving
fewer than SO vvoiklng dayy for thi
completion of the inquiry. Its good
faith teems open to suspicion. But
theie can be no doubt that such an In
qulrj, if honestly and thotoughb made,
would be very aluablo. Tho question
ot the equali?atlor. of taxation Is re
el lvlng earnest attention from an In
cieaslpg number of expert investiga
tors and the time Is not emote when
piacticnl steps toward Its solution will
bo foiced upon the legislatures of all
our prominent states. In tills je.spcit
Pennsylvania 1ms for long boon back
ward but the giowmg divergence be
tween Its receipts and Its expenses will
.-peedily presi to the fiont th! whole
subieet of ta- levlslou and readjust
ment and open nt Hanlsburg a field
tor intelligent law-making which has
In lecent yeais been full of weeds and
thistles.
11 Is not surprising tJiut the Deino
nats in congress should bo "agin the
government"; that is their traditional
mission; but self-iespec ting Hepubll
eans ought to bo the last persons In
the world to think ot giving them aid.
An Unavoidable Duty.
"All this talk about forcing our gov
ernment upon an unwilling people, all
this eloquent Invocation of the spirit of
the Declaration of Independence, Is tur
unci away from an leal point that con
cerns the senate in this discussion. Xo
Fenator can bupposo that there ex
ists an American statesman who up
pi ouches the consideration ot the Phil
ippine ptoblem with any other than
the most benevolent intentions concern
ing the Filipinos and their futuie.
Theie nic rea3ona why the natives of
these islands, after theli experience
with Spanish misrule should misunder
stand the presence at Manila of nn
American at my, but there is no reason
why an American senator should mis
understand It, and no Justification of
his courtw In misrepresenting It. He
Knows that there Is no American In nil
this broad land Mho wishes any other
late to any single native of the Phil
ippine Islands than his free enjoyment
of a prosperous life
"He know 3 that close in the wakci of
Ameilcan lule theie would tome to the
Filipinos a liberty that the imve never
known and a fur gient-i llhetty than
the could over have undei the niro
gant rule of a native dictator. He
knows, moreover, that it would be solf
rule, tho rule of the Islanders to the full
extent of their capacity In that direc
tion, and that each succtssivv Ameri
can piosidont would welcnmo the time
when ho oould lesommond now leasos
of self-government to nn ndvnnclug nnd
Improving people. The Filipino1 may
not know these things yet, but every
American senator knows them, and
puts himself and his country In a false
position when, by attributing the Hplrlt
of conquest mid aggression to those
whoso policy hnn rescued the Filipinos
from Spain and would now rescue them
from native tvrnnts, he encournges
them to doubt the geneious sentiment
of out people.
"I do not know, and t don't think any
one else can know. Just whnt ought to
be done with the Philippine Islands be
yond this that we ought as Instantly
n possible to complete the withdrawal
of their sovereignty from the kingdom
of Mr.atn and that we ought ourselves
t - iih obligations and ptudently
u'ge them until wo have had
"Htunlty In our own councils to
. i mine their best disposition. Thto
Is all that the treaty of Paris proposes
or Imposes. It Is all that the adminis
tration has at any time suggested. It
Is no more than a safe and consctva
tlve policy ndvlsca It Is no less than
our purposed obligations require. It Is
a plain, clear, positive duty. It is ono
of those duties that are not to be got
lid of by evasion nor even by denial.
It would leiunln after yo.u had re
jected the treaty. IL lies In the naturo
of tho situation. Your army, our navy
and your ling are nt Manila. You can
add to their dangers If you will. But
their duty abides, and the will of the
nation must lie done." Senator Thomas
C. Piatt.
Senator Fllnn Is u eiy busy man
In these dnvs. Besides i tinning the)
antl-Quav movement In Harrlsbuig ho
incidentally shone In society on Friday
lust by having a big leceptlon nt his
Iittsbmg home for delegates to the
Young Women's Christian nssorlatlon
(invention. It Is evident that the sen
ator has designs on the feminine vote
of the futuie, slnco it Is said that ho
never does anything without a motive.
A stiff tight between steam and elec
lilc roads In promised at Harrlsbuig
over the resurrected bill to give trol

afford to view with equanimity.
Persors vvno tall: the loudest In the
Interest of good government in this
vicinity often Indirectly nssist the Dem
ocratic party in furnishing bad gov
ernment. The senator-elect from Montana, Wil

income of $lu,000,000 a year. He will
piohably be heaul liom at Washing
ton. Ponatois who piefer tho leadetshlp
of Agulnaldo to that of William Mc
Kinley should be honest enough to re
move fiom Washington to Malalos.
If Agonclllo Is wise lie will embrace
the opportunity for lucrative employ
ment In the dime museums befoio the
peace tieaty Is ratified.
