SENATOR BACON 05 THE PHIL IPPINES. - Senator Baoon, of Georgia, who with several Representatives in Con gress made a trip to the Philippines and spent some time there, visiting the most important islands and cities, mingling with the people and studying the situation, present and prospective, has been giviog his views since his retnrn. With the exception of the fact that he speaks from personal observation and contact, and not on hearsay or from reading army reports and newspaper correspondents, there is nothing in his views that well in formed readers did not know be fore, bnt as the views of a Senator, based on his personal observation, they have more than ordinary in terest. We quote a few extracts from a somewhat lengthy inter view, enough to show what this conservative Senator thinks of the task that confronts the United States in this work of "benevolent assimilation" and how it may pan out: -x "There are," he said, "but two ways in which we can govern the islands. These are either absolute military rule on the one hand, or such a liberal gov eminent as will satisfy the people on the other; there can. be no half-way buaness. V x "As for the Filipino people them selves, I found them distinctly supe rior to what I had expected. I believe this would be the conclusion of every fair man who was brought iu contact with them. Since I left Washington I have been brought in touch with many brown races and I do not hesitate to say that I consider the Filipinos equal to any and superior to most in poict of character and mental ability. They labor under the handicap of a tropical climate, and, therefore, are not as vig orous physically or as industrious as the Chinese or the Japanese, for in stance, and this must be taken into ac count in dealing with them, but, as I have said, I am convinced that they are the equals of any in point of char aeter and ability. "There has been no revival of the business enterprises of the islands such as I expected to see. Toat this is the case--tnat there has bsen no return to the conditions which existed before the war was admitted on all aides Never theless there has been quite a bjom in Manila on account of the large amount of money being spent there as the re sult of American occupation. I am convinced that we have vol untarily undertaken the most difficult and most expensive problem that has ever fallen to the United States Gov eminent; that it will involve a vast amount ot labor, expense and trouble of all kinds before we work it out. What the end will be no man can telL "In my opinion, the Philippine question must, to a very great extent at least, cease to be political in- its character, but it is bound to be for a long time to come to a very serious business and public question with . which Congress must deal. I do not believe that the United States govern ment, or the people of the United States in their private capacities, will ever get back one-tenth of the money that has been spent and will have to be spent in working out the problem, and I find this the very general opin ion of army officers on the islands who are most familiar with the conditions there and with the material resources of the country." We are in the Philippines but in our opinion eight out of ten of the statesmen who have been advocating and supporting the expansion policy would be glad to find some way out if they could do it without an ap parent admission of a blonder after all their talk of holding on and an acknowledgement that they had un dertaken a task too difficult of accomplishment. But having gone in with a grand flourish apparently under the impression that cowing or snbdning the little yellow men would be a short and easy job, they do not like to admit a failure. If it wasn't for that, and some good way could be devised forgetting out without throwing the onus of fail ure on them they would, in our opinion, gladly get ont and be con- upon the Filipinos three years ago. He evidentally does not believe in the incompetent or semi savage contention, which was never advanced until the split came be tween the Americans and Filipinos when it became necessary to find some pretence to justify robbing them of their country. Senator Bacon is of the opinion that we have a long and worrying task before us to secure complete control of these islands, control that would, mean pacification, order and security for life and property. Any other kind of control wouldn't be worth a handful of sand on the sea shore. Army officers, some of them of considerable distinction, anticipated him in this, for they had previously expressed similar views. And he doesn't think, as a money making scheme, we will ever get our money back. In an interview a Congressman and a Republican, of uoioraao, wno spent some time in the islands, from whioh he returned a few weeks ago, agrees with him in this. That could be proved, we fn this State" several years ago there was a mighty clamor raised against him for taking so many laborers out of the State, and the. result was the passage of laws that finally drove 'i'Peg into other pastures. It is natural that, under the circum stances when labor was scarce, far mers should complain, and objeot to his carrying away the laborers on whom they were dependent to make their crops, but their loss was the general gain. It was a temporary embarrassment which in the end did good. If "Peg .Leg" had taken away a hundred to the one he took the State would have been the better for it to-day, because it would have forced the farmers from raising those crops for the labor on which they were dependent on the migra tory negroes, to raising something in the growing of whioh they wonld not have been dependent on that labor, which in the end would have been a distinct gain to them. We will be dependent upon negro labor just so long as we think we can t get along without it. But we Whatever you drink out side, let your home beer be Schlitz. That is pure beer.

Suppose peace were a certainty within six months and the people acknowledged freely and in good faith American supremacy, and went to work to build up their busi ness how long would it take to pay back the $300,000,000, say, expend ed in the efforts to overcome them and establish American dominion? TTT t nemay get possession ox mines. forests, and other sources of wealth, but the money that would be made out of these is simply the difference in the value of what is produced and the cost of production, but this profit would go to a few persons while defraying the cost of the war in the islands must be borne by the masses of the American people, who will derive no benefit whatever from it. We might, if we saw fit, pursue the course that Spain pur sued, tax the Filipinos to pay the debt, but they could never do it and would have about all they could do to pay the interest, not to speak of the principal. From a money standpoint, the purchase was a bad speculation, for it has cost more than ten times the purchase price to secure recognition of that $20, 000,000 trade. ii tney want a plan to get out of a nasty job without crawfishing or acknowledgment of failure they will find it in the Philippine plank of the Democratic platform of 1900, which reads as follows; "The Democratic platform of 1900 not only presented a plan for the permanent settlement of the Philip pine question, but it presented the only complete plan that has been offered to we American people.

While he admits that these are going to cost a great deal of money, he ar gues that if judiciously expended it will be a good investment, and it doubtless will, for if we are to have a navy, and the conditions now make that necessary, we must have ships that will be equal if not superior to the best ships of other nations, for there is no sense in putting inferior ships on the sea to cope with float ing fortresses. If we are to be the world power that our statesmen are now proclaiming us, we must be in a position to assert that power if need be or if questioned.

That's all we need and that is all we ever should have claimed. There are some points in this ex tract from Senator Bacon's inter riew which are worthy of note. It has been contended that the Fili pinos are an unintelligent, incom petent mob of ignoramuses who could not be entrusted with self government lest they would get to butchering each other. There are ignoranmuses enough and savages, too, in the islands. There is no doubt about that. But 11 m mere are a good many people who do not belong to either of these classes. This fact was recognized up to the time that they shot at our soldiers and we began to shoot at them. Then they suddenly became an ignorant, semi-savage mob. Be fore the altercation began Admiral uewey expressed the opinion, offici ally, and somewhat emphatically, that the Filipinos were five times more competent for self rule than the Cubans.
