Inw cq a BY WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTUtt. JN". C. SaTCBDAY MORBTINO, APRIL 7. THE SEAR-TAIL PREDICAMENT. Some time ago Bishop Potter, of New York, was out-spoken in his opposition fco the policy of expan sion to bich the MeKinley admiu- i?cratio5aa committed itself. Bat he took a trip to the Philippines, spent some time there, changed his views and came back an expansion ist. This doesn't prove that expan sion Li right, but simply that the Bishop confesses that he was mis taken when he opposed expansion, but thought he was right and also that he may be wrong now when he thinks he is right, aa he was then. His opinions were worth more whqn, from the stand point of an intelli gent American, familiar with the history of his country and the ge nius of her institutions, he gave them without . any pressure bemg brought to bear than they are now after associating with the officers of the army in the Philippines, who, of course, made the cause for which they are contending as strong as pos sible, and thus influenced him with out Beeming to be endeavoring to do so. He simply saw the Philippines, and the situation present and pros , pective through General Otis' glasses. He substantially admits this when he tells bow much he was influenced by the report which Gen eral Otis gave him the day he left Manila. Shortly after he returned he was interviewed by a representative of the New York Evening Post, which quotes him as follows: "Upon the general question of ex pansion my mind has not been great ly chanced since seeing the East. I do not think that, as a principle, it is a good one to act upon. But the ques tion as to whether we shall keep the Philippine Islands is now purely an academic one. Practically, the matter ! is settled. We shall keep the islands now, because there is no way to get rid of them. Discussion, then, as to the desirability of taking this action is gu-ely academic, as I said. Conditions ave changed we can't do now what it might have been desirable to do two dys after th battle of Manila bay. "Granting that the islands are ours and must remain in our possession. I believe that a military government is for a while the only feasible form of government. It is nonsense to talk of the native Filipinos having the ability to form, a government of their own. It is only ia rare cases that any of them show a real governing power. "I was much pleased with i he condi tions in the islands. The War is prac tically over, the only insurgent activ ity now being of a guerilla character that resembles the advanturous free booter wars of Southern Italy. The maj jrity of the Filipinos are friendly to us; have every confidence in our soldiers, and are ready to come under our government. This friendly feel ine is snown everywuere uj iuo children, who are devoted to the ; soldiers. 'Several friends of Aguinaldo called upon me in Hong Kong, and tbey told me that they were satufiVd that there could be no success for bisun dertaking. The better c'.ass of Fili pinos are satisfied that the American occupation means increased pros perity. , . "1 am glad to be able to speak in praise of the American army in the PnUippices. Tneir morale is very high, tney are fine appearing, healthy and splendidly disciplined men, well officered. Especially noticeable for their appearance are tbe Western regiments. Of General Otis not too much can be said in his praise. He has shown a most commendable caution in the conduct of affairs there from the very , first A reck less, slap dash kind of man would get us into lots 'of trouble by rushing into places and taking leps that General Otis baa been much criticized for not taking. When oc cision demanded, I think he was shown commendable firmness and wisdom. His report of tbe whole mat ter, which he gave to me the day I left Manila, is worth studying, for, I be lieve, it shows an full comprehension of tne difficulties and a rare wisdow in meeting them. "While in tbe Philippines l was emitted every ojpjrtunity, through idness of ttcueral Uus and all of the authorities, to ooserve every side ofhe problem No attempt was made tojprt-judice me one way or the other. G 106 whole, I think I have considerably changed my views as to the right aTfcd duty of a superior nation to govern a Neaker. I think that is inevitable.' 15 where throughout the East the problem is the same to bring these people, to see and recog nize the superiorityvof what we know as civilization and gTjve them the op portunity to adopt it." There are two - points in this worthy of note, one in the begin ning, the other in the concluding paragraph. The good behavior, dis cipline and soldierly bearing of the army has nothing to do with the merits of the case, although, of course, all this is creditable to the soldiers. A question of each transcendent importance as this, involving such a radical departure from the estab lished policies of this country, can not D9 sol red or quieted with the declaration that it has become a . - purely "academic" one. - It is more than that, for it involves a revolu tion in our governmental system, the adoption of new methods, a p'at , terning after European nfonarchies, L which may eventually result in dan 'ftrto ths Republic itself, as the Fathers intended it to be and as it has beenjnntil quite recently, re garded by the world. Oars is not a 'composite Government,; only xn so rar as is cuswm a number of States, each - sovereign in - itself, I but together forming a united whole for "certain purposes, to promote the common good, merging all into one, without , de stroying the individuality or sover? eignty of any. Under it every citi. sen of tho Republic, in whatever part of it he may abide, is entitled to . all the. rights and privileges which the laws of the country con fer upon any other citizen. There is no distinction made in favor of the citizens of one State or tern- ... - M 4.Va tory over tbe citizens oi miumo State or territory. As people oi tne United States they stand upon the same plane. This has been the rec ognized principle from the begin ning, and has been applied to . all the territory acquired by the United States, either by purchase or treaty. Any departure from this will be a departure from the policy adopted from the beginning when the first acquisition was made, and uniform lv pursued ever since until the ex pansionists of this day proclaimed a new departure, because, forsoothe! there is some salt water between us and these new acquisitions and they have mixed populations. Appar ently the constitution of the United required in the suits of Importers pro- testing again . - mfU hrauffht from tbe island.

COMMERCIAL. ft WILMINGTON iMARKKT. of ... 12 .... 890 .... 293 .... " 26 year. 17 317 Tbls States wasn't built to take a sea voyagei Pleading as an excuse for holding on to what we should never have taken hold of, that we have the Philippines now and can't let go, is simply too ridiculous to be seriously asserted. It is too much like the story of the man who had grabbed the bear by the tail, without one half its' plausibility. What is there to prevent us from letting go? What i'o ttorA to oomrjel us to hold on ? A Are we under any obligations to the Filipinos to continue to be for all time their guardians, whether we wish to or not ? Is there any other nation or nations which have the right to "insist on our maintaining that relation with these islands? Have we by virtue of this alleged purchase at Paris so handicapped ourselves as to have forfeited our in dividuality and our right to choose our own course ? What is there to prevent us, if we want to, from getting the representatives of theBe people together, telling them to get their people together, organize their governments, and when they get them to running, to pull out and let them take care of themselves, with the mutual un derstanding that they and we will befriends and that we will look after them as long as they behaved them selves and didn't forfeit our interest and friendship by cutting tach other's throat? That's all nonsense about our n3t being able to let go. We can let go if we want to. The point in the concluding para graph to which we have referred, in which the BiBhop speaks of his charge of viewB as to the "right and duty of a superior nation to govern a weaker" is the right that might has always contended for. That was tbe justification of the appro priation of Africa by the land-grabbing European nations, and is the justification of the land grabbing nations which are now moving to divide China among themselves, and that would be the justification for holding Cuba as it is proposed to hold the Philippines. There is too much of the essence of plunder in this for a respectable argument, coming even from a Bishop. A REPUBLICAN TRIBUTE TO .n. BRYAN A correspondent of the Philadel phia Enquirer, a Republican paper, in reporting one of tho recent speeches of Wm. J. Bryan, pays the following tribute to tna.manwnu fills more of the publio eye than any other man in Ameers.- Speaking of his marvellous power to noia an audience and his masterful treat ment of the . money question, he says : ' "TTavinir finished the money ques- Voa, he opened for a half-hour on tbat of trusts Here, again, the soundnos o' the man's heart was appirem, nu his judgment did not Jag so mucn oe hmd aa in the former case. One was made to feel what a mere tncK ana uju -.11 sr likel-v to be in their inception and enforcement that would be passed by the party in power, aBd how certain Bryan and his followera would be to open fire the moment their guns were in position. - Indeed, in our present state of knowledge, about all tbat any political party cn do is to confront the trusts witn a ueieriuiua tion to find out and enforce the right method of handling them. Bryan is "be first man of political power who has made the impression on the people that he knowa their enemies ana win fight them to the best of his ability to th vrrv end. Indeed, if he were more ii.tellectually sound, he would be to tbe masses a far less acceptable leader. He would quickly sink into the rank of tr-e theorists. j ..... "The last hour was occupied with imperialum. Here he got back, to tbe minds of those who heard him, on to the broad platform of : tbe Declaration of Independence, and walked up and down on it as the secure footing, and the only footing, of liberty ana nj;m. He divided the adherents of imperial ism into three classes those w no say There is money in it, those who sav God is in it,' and those who say 'We are i n it and cannot get out The firat two gave fine sweep for scornful and reproachful rejection, and the third was slurred over. The appeal, on the whole, was to that which is noblest in our record i and soundest in thn American mind. Moderate men cannot but realize, in view of the Porto Rico proposal, that those who bold to justice must all combine as against the growing; tyranny of the administration. "If tbe people are to be put to a choice between Bryan, in bis large beartedpets, bis impassioned defense of the many, and McKinley, ho has so long been the conduit of class leg islation, the mouth piece of tbe money power, and whispering in whose ear even now is jnarz nanus mo h--onification of class interest, the lead inr Mmhi&tnnheles of wealth gotten by legislation it will certainly not be strange if they take to their heart their own champion and for tbe nonce step into oblivion the counsels and schemes of the self seekers at home and abroad, in commerce and in tbe State." The idea of sidetracking a man like this with Admiral Dewey, or any one else, is simply absurd. 4 " V , STAR-OFFICE, April 6. ; SPIRITS TURPENTTNlH-NothiDg steady at 63 c per gallon foif machine made casks and 53 eta per gallon for country casks.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE. "A MAN WITHOUT A C0TJHTRY." The people of Porto Rico occupy a unique position. According to the scheme of; government proposed by the. Republicans in Congress they are under the American flag and yet remain aliens. They are "citixens of Porto Rico," whateveMhat may mean, bn although their island is a part of the United States they are to have ni voice even in governing themselves, after having been as sured byj the proclamation of the General who commanded the army which entered Porto Rico that they should have all the rights and privil eges enjoyed by the citizens ot the United States in other States and Territories, some of which are the right of keif government and repre nntAtiori in the Congress of the United States. When jSenator Foraker presented the bill for the civil government of the island, he admitted his doubts as to its constitutionality . by saying that the 'Supreme Court wonld have to pass upon it, bnt a way has been found for ascertaining the views of tbe Supreme Court as to the status of the people of that island, whether they are nnder the constitution aliens or Americans. It seems that the He York Herald made a con tract with a native of Porto -Rico, who in pursuance of the contract, arrived at New York. What hap pened aiid what is proposed to be done,, is! thus told by the Herald: The story of this man's arrival un do" contract to work in the 8Utes, and tbe rpp frtunity it afford for obtain ing a speedy decision from- the highest judicial tribunal as to wbtthcr Porto Rics is i foreign country, is of sur passing Interest. Ue was detained oy tne uomssis sioner of Immigration, and it was or dered that be should be deported. Counsel will to day apply to the United ftatea Circuit Court for a writ of abeas iwpus, and if tbe decision of tbe Commissioner is sustained -appeal will be carritd to the Supreme Uourt of the United Stale. A decision from tbat tribunal should be 'obtained oa sueh proceedings In a tithe of tha tun SAT DOWN OH THEM- When the Hawaiian Government bill was under discussion in the House of Representatives Thursday Congressman White (colored) and Liinney, OI mis Dtaie, auu uur . , i 1; i man Pagh, of Kentucky, offered strengthen nerves, stomacnt liver, Kidneys amendments to strike out tne euu- cational and preperty qualificat on, and the House very unceremoniously sat down upon all three of them, al though Mr. Linney accompanied his amendment with a frantic attack on the proposed constitutional amend ment for this State. The position in which White and Linney found themselves was a somewhat embarrassing one, for if they passed over in silence this ef fort to establish qualified suffrage in Hawaii they could not consist ently oppose it in North Carolina, and- yet they had reason to know that these amendments would be squelched, and that thereby this Republican CongTess would be prac tically endorsing and justifying "If I had tbe power," says Senator Cullom, of Illinois, "I would declare free trade with Porto Rico and treat the people of that island just as we would expect to be treated if we were in their place." This is according to the Golden Rule and the Gospel, but if the Senator will reflect a moment ne cannot fail to find instruction in tbe fact that neither of those in struments has yet been recognized in any Republican policy or legisla on. Charleston News and Cour ier, Dem. Major General Miles has cer tified to the Automobile Club of NewYork that within five years there will be completed a national qualified suffrage in the South, for highway from ocean " to, ocean, to 4 e militarv road m the time of war and for the ubo of all vehicles whn neaca reigns over the lana the arguments advanced for its jus tification in Hawaii are the same arguments as are advanced for itB justification in the South, the only difference being that . they nave really more application and force in the South than they have in Hawaii where the purpose is apparent to .. j get rid of the native as a voter ana put the government in the control of tbe few thousand Americans ana other white people of the islands. By this act tbe Republicans in Congress effectually estop them selves from criticising . movements to restrict suffrage in the South. NAVAL STORES MARKETS.

Bv Telegraph to tne Morning 8tar. M"kw York, April 6. The cotton market opened steady with prices two points lower to four-points higher, following iavoraoie ljiverjjw "- After the opening the general list lev t-lled up to an advance of four and seven points on yesterday's prices, partly on the streng h of the Liver pool cotton statement, which had an unmistakably bullish significance After waiting in vain for the Wall street contingent to renew their re cent buying tactics, some of the room operators commenced to sell, in the absence of outside or public support, and the market eased off seven to ten points from the best figures of the morning. Selling was accelerated by generally favorable crop and weather accounts, and also by reports of weak ness in Southern spot markets. At most, however, it was a narrow mar ket, with the local nt-snation mcrenwu by unsatisfactory accounts from the dry goods market, which points to a materially smaller call for cotton Emulsion Cures Coughs and Golds cures them quicker and better than any cough mix ture ever made.
