Y along the abandoned bed of the Delaware nnd Hudson ranal to the Pennsylvania line," says the New York Herald. "Arrayed against the project, which is backed by the Pennsylvania Coal company and all the Independent coal operators, was the vast wealth and political Influence of the anthracite coal trust, headed by J. P. Morgan & Co., and participated In by every an thiaclte coal rond In tho country. The New York, Ontailo and Western mll road and tho Hrle railroad wore the ostensible fighters of the proposition, but all the anthracite coal 'barons' were- back of tho contest, and the pro ject has been fought at cveiy available point. "The original application before tho commission was actively opposed by the Kile, Now Yoik. Ontailo and West ern and other anthracite coal roads, and a great amount of evidence wai taken bearing on the question as to vhethur the proposed road was re- lulied In the public Interest. The new company was tepiesentud by Thoinii (3. Shearman and John A. Oarver, while Frank II. Piatt. David Wilcox. John P. Kerr. William F. Dunning and Uerbeit F. Kinney appeared for the opposing loads. "The ralltoad commission found in favor of the company and granted a certificate m slating. Later the oppos lng roads obtained .1 writ of certiorari 10 levlew the decision of the commis sioners, which was aigued In June. The decision of the court &ustalns the finding of fact by the commissioners, that the load will frve a public eon a enlcnce, nnd the unanimous atllrma tlun by the appellate division makes It Impossible to carry the question to the Court of Appeals. "In addition to attempting to defeat tho building of the road In New York state,, tho antlueclte roads also en deavil'ed to prevent the construction .if an extension of the line in Penn sylvania connecting the New York load with the anthracite coal regions.

We must proceed in the Philippines with the same wlc caution, taking earh succosslie step as It becomes desir able, and accommodating the details of our policy to the peculiar needs of the situation. Hut as soon as the present reiolt Is put down and order established, it will undoubtedly bo possible to glie to the Islands a larger measure of self-government tint Jefferson originally gaie Louisiana. Other Precedents, Tli- next great step lu expansion was the ac quisition of ITorlda. This was pnlly aeqtilre-d hj conquest and partly bj purchase, Andrew Jackson being the most prominent flgure in the inquisition. It was taken under Piesldent Mon roe, tho nttertimc Piesldent John (Julncy Adams being active in seeming the purchase. As in tho case of tlie Philippines, 1'lorlda was acquired bv purchase frcru spiin, and In I'lotida the Semliioles, who had not been consulted In the sale, rebelled and waged war exactly as some of the Tag-ils hevo rebelled and waged war In the Philippines The Vniinole war listed for many jcars, but Piesldents Monroe, Adams and Jackson dee lined for a moment to lonsldcr the question of abandi nlug Plot Ida to the Semi noles, or to treat their non consent to the got eminent of the I ntled 5-latcs as a lalid reason fcr turning oier the trrrltory to tliein.

The purchase wis made by the men who had just put tluotifli a triumphant war to restore the union and free the slue; but none of them deemed It necessary to push tho doctrine of the "consent of the gonrned" to a conclusion so fantastic as to necessitite the turning oier of Alaska to Its otiginal owners, the Indian nnd the Aleut, lor tliiity years the t'nited Stiles authorities, military and eiill, exercised tlie supreme authority in a tract of land many times laiger than the Philippines, in which It did not seem likelv tint there would ever bo any consid- Nearly thirty jcars passed before the next in stance of expansion occurred, which wa.s over tho island of Hawaii. An effort was made at tho end of President Harrison's administration to secure the annexation ol Hawaii. The effort was unsuccessful. In a debate in congress on I'cb. 2, lo'll, one of tlie leaders in opposing the annexa tion of the island', stated: "These islands are more than two thousand mllesi distant from our extreme western boundary. We hive a serious race problem noil- in our reiuntry and I am not in faior of adding to our domestic fabric a mongrel population (of this character). Our constitution makes no provisions for a colonial establishment. Any territorial government we might establish would necessarily, because of the population, be an ollgarchv, which would have to be supported by armed soldiers" Yet Hawaii lias now been annexed and her delegates have sit in the na. tional conventions of the two great parties. Tlie fears then expressed in relation to an "oHgarehv" and "aimed soldleis" aro not now seriously en tertained by any human being: ct they aro precisely tlie nbnelions urged against the acquisi tion of the Philippines at this verv moment We arc miking no new departure We ire not taking a single step which in anv vv 1 v arte.

Our army Is relatively not as large as It was in the days of Wajne; we haie not one tegular for ciery tliousind Inhibit mis. There Is no more danger of a draft that there is of the re-intro-durtlon of slavery. When we expinded oier New Mexico and Cali fornia we sccurid fiee government tci these teni tories and prevented their falling under the "mili tarism" of a dictatorship like that of Santa Anna or the "Imperialism" ol a nal empire in the elajs of Maxlnitllian.

Iheie Is no more militarism or im lirlallsm In garusenli.g Luzon until older Is it stored than there was imperialism in sending soldiera to South pikota In lt'. during the Ogallalla outbreak. The reasoning vvhleli Justifies our baling made war against Sitting Pull also Justifies our having checked the outbieaks of Iguiniltlo and his followers, directed, as they vveie, against l'lliplno and American alike How to Beget 'Militarism." The onlv certain way of rendering It necessary fin our republic to enter on a caieer of "mill tailsiu" would be to abandon the Philippines to their own tribes, and at the sime tune cither to guarantee a stable government among these tilbes or to guarantee them against outside Intel ference. A far larger army would he required to cairy out any such policy than will be re. quired to secure order under the mcrlean llig; while the iccnie of lhl flag 'on the islimla is really the only piuslhte seiurlty agalnit outside aggression. The whole argument against Ptes. c ut Mclilnlev'a pulley In the Philippine be comes absurd vvtisn It Is conccdul that we should, to quote the laugiiige of the Kansas City plat form, "gives to th Philippines llrst a stable .fcrm of government " If they are now entitbd to independence, they ore alo entitled to decide lor Iheui.clies wlie-thcr their government shell be stable! or unstable, clvllled or naiagr, or whether they shall liaic any government at all; while It is, of course, i-quilly ev blent that under such cotilltlons we line no rlnht whatever to guarantee! them against outside Interference any moie than vie hive to make such a guarantee In the case of tl.e Hovers (who aie merely the Chinese analogues of Aguiiuldo's fillowers). If we lava a rUht to establish a stable government In tl.e islands it ncce.iiily follows- that it Is not only our right but our duty to upport that gov ernment utitll the natives gradually grow fit to sustain it tl rmsrliM How else will it be stable! The minute we leaie It, It ceases to be tihle. Properly speaking. Hie epiestlon Is new not whether we shall expandlor -ve have alicady expanded but whether we shall contract. The Philippine aie now part ol American territory. T11 surrender them would be to surrender Ameri can territory. They mut. of course, be governed primarily lu tho Internts of their own citizens. Our first care must be tor the people ot the Itl a lids whli h have come under our guardianship as .1 lentil! of the must righteous foreign war that hii lieen wiged within the memory ol the present generation. They must be administered in Hie tntcirsts of (lit Ir Inhibit Hits, and tint ueicssaril) means tint any question uf personal or paillsnn kj1IHc In their administration must be entirely eliminated.

'Ihe minor pl.iees In their administration, where It Is Im possible to llll them by natives, must be filled by the strictest application of the merit sjstcm. It Is ler.i important that in our own home ad ministration the merely ministerial and admlnls tratlie oillccs, where the duties are entirely non po1itlr.il, shall be tilled absolutely without refer ence to partisan allllliliins: but this Is tinny times more Important in the newly ncciiilred Isl ands The merit s.uteni is In its essence as demo cratic as our common school system, for It simply means equal chances and fair play for all. Self-Government. It must be remembered always that goiernlng these islands In the Interrsts of the Inhabitants may not neccssirlly be to goicrn them as the Inhabitant at the moment prefer. To grant sell, government to Luzon under Aguinaldo would be like granting self.goiernment to an Apache reser lathm under some local chief; and this Is no more altered by the fart that the Filipinos fought the Spaniards than its would be by the fact that Apaches base long been trained and employed in the I'liited States army and bale rendered signal serviic therein; Just as the Pannees did under the administration of President Orant; Just as the Sloikbrldge Indians did in the elais of Oeneral Washington, and the friendly tribes of the Six Nitions In the elass of President Madison, There aro now In the L'nlled States communi ties of Indians which have advanced so lar tint it lias been possible to embody them as a whole' In our political s.istem, all the membets of the tribe becoming t'nited States citizens There are other communities where tlie hulk of the tribe are still too wild for It to be possible to take such a step There are Individuals among the Apiches, Pawnees, Iroquois, Sioux and other tribes, who are now I'nlted States litizrus, and who are entitled to stand, and do stand, on an absolute equilltv with our citizens of pure while blood. Men of Indian blood aie now serving In the army and navy and in congress ami occupy high positions both In the business and the politi cal woild. Theie is every reason why as rapidly as an hull m. or any body of Indians, becutues tit lor self goiernmenl, he or it should bo grant ed tuo fullest equality with the whites; but there would be no justification whatever In treating this fact as a reion for abindonlng Hie wild tilbes to work out thcli own destruction. Lxai t lv the same reasoning applies In the ciso of the Philippines. To turn over the lshuds to Aguln li do ard his followers would not lo be to glee self government to the islanders; imdcr no circum stances would the maioritv Huh giin self govern ment. They would siinplv be put at Hie mercy of a syndicate of Chinese half-biccds, under whom coemption would flourish far more fiecly than eier it nourished under Tweed, while tjiannlcal oppression would obtain to a degree only possible under such an oligarchy, oursi ttuly, Theodore llooseielt. 2S-T. w - rirri iirine im "i Coffee Tea & Chocolate fe AGH- CONDENSED MILK FOR.
