'DEMOCRATIC POSITION.
There has been an immense
am our t of .criticism of the gov
ern njrt's course in the Phili
piues, but there has been no
clear-cut policy formulated to
take tve place of the McKinley
policy. It, was quite reasonable
to look to the Democrats of the
56th congress to formulate a pol
icy. Congressman" Williams, of
Mississippi, present ed the follow
ing preamble and resolutions in
th House Thursday, that are re
garded as the Democratic posi
tioii: :
"Whereas, The hope has been
held out that the Filipinos now
wag ng war against the forces of
the United States in the island of
Luzon would lay down their arms
if authoritatively , assured that it
. was the intention of the govern
ment and the : people of the
. UDited States ultimately to grant
to the people of that island their
independence and the absolute
control of their domesiic affairs,
and, - . .
"Whereas, Such is the intention
of the government and of the
American people who do not be
lieve in wars of conquest or crim
inal aggression against other
peoples j.nd have frequently de
clared their horror thereof, rio,;
therefore, be it : .
'Resolved, By the Senate and
; House of Representatives in Con
gress assembled: - 'J
' 'Section 1. That it has always
been our intent and purpose ito
recognize the right of the Fil-
ipinos to self-government' arid
nat'onal independence,1-and that
in pursuance thereof we shall
ma -o formal recognition of these
rights and withdraw our land and
i sea forces upon the establish
ment of peace and the inaugu
ration of a constitutional
government or governments' b
of them, provided, the said gov
ernment agrees, or the said gov
ernments agree to refund the
20.000,000 which was paid;by us
to the Queeri' of Spain; tc give 'tis
in fee simple, with;1 right :6f 'Sov
ereignty vested in'- us,' -a place
suitable for a naval station and
other places fitted for coaling
stations and to grant the AtUeri-
can peoplaVdnperpetnityl the
right of free access to all their
; ports for goods merchandise
' and persons Sent on peaceful or
missionary pursuit. .
''Sea 2. We pledge our friendly
assistance and 'counsel in the
ivork of inaugurating such a gov
. xnent. .'''. ;: .. '.;
"Sec; 3. , We pledge ourselves
to treat.as an unfriendly mani-
testation towards; Jhe ' United
States any foreign Interference
or aggression;for the period of
10 years from and after the es
tablishment of such a goverment,
provided, that the government
and people of said islands shall
surrender into our, keeping
during -that period the entire
question of their foreign rela
tion's and shalljpay the expense
to which we may be' put for such
troops as shall, :at the request
of said government,; be kept on
Philipine. territory and. of such
ships and naval forces as may be
kept in the Philippines, or adja:
cent paters for protection herein
promised."
Whether or not. the views "will
be adopted or are the wisest, it
is a relief to see a plan proposed
in place of the one objected to.
WILY, WIFY ROBERTS.
Mr. Roberts seems
to be
a
lawyer of no mean attainments,
and comes before Congress with
no manifest embarrassments of
conscience. His attitude seems
to Ido to let the committee prove
his polygamy if it can, and when
proven he will ask, ' Well, what
of it if I am a polygamist ?" He
j ostles the committee with the
protest that if he is a member of
Congress he should be allowed to
take the oath of office, and if he
is not a member of Congress
t ley have no business meddling
into .his love affairs.
It is natural and right for a
man to sticky close to one wife,
and if the intensity of loyal affee
tion increases -with the multi
plicity of them it is no wonder
that Mr. Roberts does not deny
any of them, nor the twins either.
An Atlanta dispatch says,
"A general order.has been circu
lated by the Southern Railway,
Tipplicable only to the.Sputh Car
olina division, that all .employes
of the company must stop using
cigarettes or resign their posi
si tions and th at; in future no one
will be. employed who -smokes
cigarettes. ' Assistant , General
Passenger, Agent S H Hardwick
says it may soon be, made appli
cable to all the different branches
of the road. The order issued
by the South Carolina depart
ment is an iron -clad rule and ap
plies to all the departments of
the line throughout the State."
' Now 'let ispmbojyleap to the
front and declare there's nothing
bad in the use of . the cigarette,
but that the cigar' manufacturers
have bought somebody,- -
