TIW horrors of history, the unspeakable- miseries of war, tho dire scenes durlnff, n pes tilence, the ruthless waste by fire or flood, or the woe of famine or earthquake, nothing bai ever beon pictured more malevolent In its de struction, more horrlblo In its results than the awful calamity at Galveston. Indeed, tho wretchedness of the Island rtty today probably surpasses any thing In the way of desolation and ut ter loathsomeness ever portrayed In fact or fiction. In the overwhelming of Pompeii no unsepulturod teiror lent Its curse. Beneath a coverlet of ashes soft as the snows the inhabitants lay In n grave which well ml'jht be thought to be eternal. In war, no uncon trollable elements prevented u safe and swift Interment. The Johnstown Hood which has long been rrcalled as mark ing an epoch In the iccord of disas ters, seems now by comparison almost uneventful. It occurred In the early summer when there was no fierce heat. The devastation was complete, but the tropical climate, the accompanying forte of lrrchlstlble cyclonic phenom ena, the might of the sea and the fury of tho Hoods from the skies, the un burled corpses, the ghouls, were ab k nt from the calamity In our own state. If the sympathy of the world went out toward the sufferers there, how much Increased should be Its Im pulses for the southern city In her ill starred condition. Upon the site of Johnstown a new town has risen, more beautiful than the old. The ranltary state of Galveston may preclude a habitation there for months to come. Indeed many years will be required to lehnbllltato the Island which lay so be nt tif til In the bay. It is a Fatlsfaetlon to note that prae thal demonstrations of Interest aro being ponied out for the ruined e'tv. Amoiic the gifts Is the sum of $10,000 from the Carnegie company, while oiIkis In smaller "amounts will swell the aid for the destitute. Tlieie are those who will prate of a judgment, of an Inseiulable visitation and a rebuke of modem day clvlllz-i-tlun In Its sins, but the majority will siy, "Why Galveston, Instead of our cit?" And, not taking time to ponder (.mi- the why or the wherefore, will bo Mllt with their assistance. It Is bet t i to do this than to Imagine vain it.isonlngt) over what no man can Je ti inline. Certain' causes produce cot t tin effects. Certain ntmospheilc In Slucmt's united to form tho awful tropical storm In whose pathway lay tin M.ind city. It is enough to kmw that thero are wretched, homeless and beie.ived ones asking our help. In reviewing the frightful lesults of this storm It cannot hut bo regretted th.it the devoted residents of Galves ton did not heed the weather reports and take some precautions In the pos sibility of its coming. The "wnrnln was given on Friday, but who, but whlih one of us log.irds as serious such warnings? Tho most we can do today Is to send our mite toward tho fii-I.itlon of such misery as comes to oui notice but onco in n lifetime. Mr. Croker appears to have fulfilled tho Ideal of the Ice man of song at Saratogu after all. Resources ol Dakota. RI'l'OItT.S OP TI1K census takers make public many facts nut generally known legardlng Dakota and Indi cate that the land of wheat must bo a veritable farmers' paradise. Tho figures show that Dakota Is a land which not only raises tho beat wheat In tho woild, but can ralso lf.O to 3J0 bushels of potatoes or 350 to 1100 bush els of onions to the acre, Is suro to be ii good mortgage) lifter. The average hUed farm Is 277 aeios, and women mo farm owners ns well as men, the census showing 1,255 farms owned and operated profitably by the weaker sex, One Instance Is given of a school teachor In Nelson county who raised 41 bushels of wheat to the acre on a furm of 133 acres. No stato In tho union has so many newspapors per capita, and crime nnd pauperism, are air ; unknown. Tho census shows 07 prisoners In Jntt and 33 paupers in the poor farm the smallest per centaKe of any stato In the union: The climate Is dry and Invigorating and the population Is mixed as fol lows: American families. 8.122; Ktig-llHh-Cnnndlnns, 4.04S; Scandinavians, S.711, and Gcrmani-, 2.KS1. No state hns so lai'Ke n number of families cul tivating the soil, and it seems ull In all an Ideal community. No matter how vexatious tho po litical situation may at times bo In the Smoky City, the citizens of Pitts bum find comfort these days In con templation of continuous reports In tho local press to the effect that the home' club Is "playing good ball." No Promise of Filipino Independ ence. tlrom President MeKlnlej's better ol Accept- nine.) N OP.ODY WHO will nvnll him self of the fact3 will longer hold that there mjs any al liance between our FOldleM and the insurgents, or that any prom ise of independence was made to them. Long before their lender had reached Manila they had resolved If the com mander of the American nrfvy would give them arms with which to light the Spanish army they would later luin upon us, which they did murder ously nnd without the shadow of cause or Justification. There may bo those without tho means or full In formation who believe that wo were In alliance with tho Insurgents; and that we assured them that they should have Independence. To such let mo repeat the facts. On tho 26th day of May, 1S3. Admiral Dewey wns In structed by me to make no alliance with nny party or faction In the Philippines that would Incur liability to maintain their cause In the futuie, and he replied under date of June C, ISIS: "Have acted according to spirit of department's instructions from the beginning, and I have entered Into no alliance with tho Insurgents or with any faction. This squadron can re duce the defenses of Manila nt nny moment, but it Is considered useless until the nrrlval of sufficient United States troops to retain possession." In the report of the first Philippine commission, submitted on November ?, ISM, Admiral Dewey, one of Its member.'1, said: "No alliance of nny kind was entered Into with Agulnaldo, nor was nny promise of Independence made to him at any time." General Merritt arrived in the Philippines on July 2:, 1S0S, nnd n dis patch from Admiral Dewey to the gov ernment nt "Washington said: "Mer ritt arrived yesterday. Situation Is most critical at Manila. The Spanish may surrender at any moment. Mer rltt's most difficult pioblem will bo how to deal with the insurgents under Agulnaldo who have become aggres sive and even threatening toward our in my." Hero Is revealed the spirit of the Insurgents ns early as July, 1!)S, befoio the prototol was signed with Spain. Kven then the Insurgents were threatening our army. On August 13, Manila was captured nnd of this and subsequent events tho Philippine commission says: "When the city of Manila was taken August 13, tho rillplnos took no part In the attack, but came following In with a view to looting tho city and were only prevented from doing so by our forces preventing them from entering. Agulnaldo claimed that he had the right to occupy the city; he demanded of General Merritt the palace of Mala canan for himself and the cession of all (he churches of Manila, also that n. pait of the money tnken from tho Spaniards as spoils of war should bo given up, and above all that he should be given the arms of tho Spanish pris oners. All these demands were re fused. Generals Merritt, Greene and An derson, who were In command nt tho beginning of our occupation, nnd un til tho surrender of Manila, state that thero was no alliance with the Insur gents, nnd no promise to them of In dependence. On August 17, ISIS, Gen eral Merritt was Instructed that there must be no joint occupation of Manila with the insurgents. General Anderson, under date of February 10, 1900, says that he was present nt the Interview between Admiral Dewey nnd the insurgent leader and that In this Intel view Admiral Dewey made no promhes whatever. Ho ndds: "Ho, Agulnaldo, asked me If my govern ment wns going to recognize his gov ernment. I nnswered that I was there simply In n military capacity, that I could not acknowledge his govern ment because I had no authority to do so." Tho mention of Ice at the conven tion of Now Yoik Democrats appears to havo caused a greater panto than would an alarm of fire. Faith in the Future. (Trom a llrcent Sp'-ech ty SVnitor Stoirf) HV SHOULD NOT the present generation enjoy opportunities similar to to those furnished our fathers by tho acquisition of Louisiana. Florida, Texas, New Mexico, nnd California? Why should not tho wealth, power, nnd enterprise of the American peo ple bo Increased and encouraged? May not tho acquisition of the Islands of the Atlantic and the Pacific wrested from Spain place the United States In the near future foremost as a mnnufaetuilng, commercial, naval, nnd pollticul power? Tho suggestion that the acquisition of territory Is Imperialism Is refuted by tho fact that neither Jefferson, Monroe, Jackson, Polk, nor any of their associates nro regarded as Im perialists. Tho Imperialism they ad vocated made homes for patriotic, lib oi ty loving, self-respecting citizens, whose loyalty to the government of the United States Is unsurpassed by the peoplo of any of tho thirteen original states. If to assist tho peoplo of tho Philip pines to establish lounl self-government nfter the plan adopted by Jeffer son Is Imperialism, then Jefferson was the pioneer Imperialist of the United States. The Philippines will never be dependent colonies. They will be al lowed to conduct their own affairs W with the assistance of such officers at It may he necessary to appoint to nld them In establishing local self-government. They will not havo a voice In tho legislative councils of the nation until congress shall nscertaln and de termine that their admission ns stntes would ho desirable. Notwithstanding tho treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo promised to make stntes of tho terri tories acquired from Mexico, New Mexico Is still a territory. Tho sug gestion that wo must not trust tho fu ture, that those who will come nfter us will admit the Philippines ns states, whether qualified or not, is nil assump tion that our system of republican government Is a failure nnd that patriotism will become extinct when the seats In this chamber are filled by our successors. No person occupies n seat here to day but myself, who was a member of the senate In tho Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, Forty-llrst, and Forty-second congresses. I wns Im pressed during that time with tho anxiety of many senators for the fu ture and their forebodings of calami ties which they contended would nec essarily follow If tho opponents of the Union In the civil war were again al lowed to participate In the government of the country. They assumed In their arguments that future congresses could not bo trusted nnd that tho government wns in danger of belnsr uttcily subverted. How they mis Judged the fututc let tho heroic pa triotism and valor of the soldiers from every stato In tho Union In the late war with Spain nnd In the far-off Phil ippines bear witness. Tho patriotism nnd fidelity to tho Interests of tho whole country exhibited In both houses of congress by members from the South ns well as from the North prove that a reunited peoplo now en joy a more perfect union than ever before. I have faith In my country and In the American peoplo that they can extend a helping hand to tho Filipinos and enable them to peacefully assem ble and perfect In duo time local self government where llfo nnd property will bo as secure us it now is in any state of this Union. I havo seen order grow out of confusion In that vast territory acquired from Mexico until the governments of the far West are ns efficient In protecting life, liberty, and property nt tho best-governed stato of tho Kast. No one pretends that tho Filipinos aro now fit for statehood, but I repud iate tho suggestion that they aro not fit for just such government as Jefferson extended to the Louisiana purchase and Monroe to tho acquisition of Flori da. There may not be enough Ameri cans in that country to organize a stato government without congres sional or executive action, as In tha case of California; but it the sam congressional nnd executive caro that were extended to all other acquisitions of territory except California aro ex tended to tho Philippines, they will progress it may bo slowly, but they will progress in working out good gov ernment for themselves and security for life and property, which will bring prosperity and progress to them and great x;omm'erclal and political ad vantages to us. "Neither In the Philippines nor else where will the cause of human liberty look for Its champion to a party whose only hope of obtaining power lies in tho suppression of human rights and In an organized conspiracy to nullify the guaranties with which the constitu tion endeavors to surround the citizen. From thousands of polling places in this election. In which tho Democratic party Is so much concerned about 'the consent of tho governed,' the negro citizen will be excluded by laws so contrived as to keep out the negro Ite publlcan while admitting the white Democrat, though both present them selves with similar qualifications, ex cept as to color. Tho party which will not allow the constitution to follow tho flag through the Carollnas, through Mississippi and Texas, has no occasion to distress Itself about the constitu tion's Journey 4,000 miles across tho ocean." New York Republican Plat form. The accounts of tho trouhles exper ienced ly United States military au thoiltlcs with I'edro Paterno, the Filipino aRltator, toad like tho plot of n comic opera, hut they also have a seilous side in illustratliiK the nnnoy nnces and dllllcultles that havo been encountered nt every step by represen tatives of our government In the en deavor to icstoro order ninonK the restless denizens of tho archipelago. Tho lnsloilous ending of Paterno's pence fiesta, however, may havo good effect to a certain extent In tho way of convincing tho Filipino agitator that It Is useless to attempt to hoodwink the reptesentntlves of tho government by arts that have been so successfully employed In keeping the Ignorant population of the Islands in a state of unrest so long. The annual reunion of the survivors of the Fifty-second regiment, Pennsyl vania Volunteers, was among tho pleasing events of yesterday in Scran ton. The regimental roster of the Fifty-second contains tho names of some of tho best known citizens of this vicinity, as well as. many from abroad, and their presence In tho city at tho annual reunions and camp-fires of tho comrades of '01 is nhvuys regarded with pleasure nnd Interest by tho pa triotic of every creed. A movement Is on foot out West to exterminate tho prairie iloir; because It Is alleged that he Is a nuisance to tin fanner. When tho praliln clop; has been disposed of It will probably dawn upon tho fnrmer that bo has had a mls&lon In destroying a worse pest. Tho United States should bo will ing to lot somo one clso discover tho North 1'ole. If thoro is unythlnir of value thero some of our wicked Im perialists can fence It in later. Mr. Wharton Harlccr seems to re gard the presidential race as seriously as though he was neck and neck with tho leaders. And there wns no cnthuslasni In Maine save on part of the Democracy.

If the real history, inspiration nnd conditions of this in surrection, and the influences, local and external, that now encourage the enemy, as well as the actual possi bilities of theso islands and peoples and their relations to this great East, could be understood nt home, we would hear no more talk of un just 'shooting of government' into the Filipinos, or of hauling down our flag In tho Philippines. If the so-called anti-imperialists would honestly nsceitaln the truth on the ground and not in distant America, they, whom I believe to bo honest men nnd misinformed, would be con vinced of the error of their state ments nnd conclusions nnd of the unfortunate effect of their publica tions here.
