a disinterested patriot. As for Goebel
a great many bad things are said about
him. There is one thing, however,
which commends him to us The hard-

tbe Louisville <Sc Nashville It. K. Co , and

A late dispatch from a correspondent
of the New York ilerald who has travel-
ed over tbe Philippine islands states
that in Manila tbe leeling of the natives
ugaiust the Americans is growing strong
er everyday, and tbat nowbei'' on his
trip did he find .any friendly natives ex-
cept at Moros aud they were unwilling
lor the Americans to hold any territory
except tbi town of Jolo, He furllii r
i sa.vs that the ollicially reported desire of
part of the natives for American rule is
Dot borne out by tbi facts. This dis-
patch was sent from Hong Kong and
escaped the military censor. Of course
Dtis would never allow such news as
this to go out if he could help it.
< The Dreyfus trial, the greatest and
wmt ulisurd legal farce ever known in
history, is still going on iu France and
will probably last several weeks. In
toy court in Christendom when' even u
modicum of common sense prevails, two
thirds of the testimony given against
Drt.vfu# would not he admitted. What
In not mi re opinion of the witnesses is
mostly beresay aud immaterial or in-
competent, for other good reasons. One
witness after another gets up and makes
a stump speech without let or hindrance,
tells what he thinks, and what be heard
some person tell what somebody else
said he thought about it. The tales told
tiy the old women gossips at a tea parly
me more iu conformity with logical rules
of evidence than the testimony of the
French generals who have been allowed
t ' froth forth their venom against
Drevfus.
i'he Atchison Globe considers itself
denounced by the Sedgwick county He-
I i iu convention. A recent issue
ulaiued the following editorial
Some ot us are republicans and some
.if u-* arc democrats, but we are all
Americaus. The country's good is more
important than th<- success of any party.
As Allien: aim w are about to make a
mistake in making the war a party issue-
Republicans who ar< nicty men without
hope of reward should Insist on tlir war
beiug disposed of, It is very expensive
in I very discreditable If tne republi-
cs make an issue of the war, aud cx-
puusion. they will lose the next presi-
dential election. The people have been
patient, and cheerfully paid war < x|icn-
>tluy do not believe in. but when
tUy go to the polls they will vote their
r at convictions on the war question.
If ti c republicans want to wiu they
must see tbat the prolissional republican
p '.itlcians bundle the war question with
ordinary common sense and show, an or-
dinary dcsiri for siivim: tbe p "k uu
about war is becoaing oaaiaoas. UaJa
•ever falls out of s clear sky Th
clouds sre gather.nz. and republicans
u«du'l if they do not r eed th warn-
ing."
Fiynn's late fool freak at a G. A. R
reun.on has stirred up considerable
ram'iunctiousness among the republi-
cans. Pretending that he was mad
about a circular that had keen issued by
an old crank named Eggieston telling
tbe i*iOp.e that the only way they could
get free homes vi; to hire 'awyers to
work a bill through congie-.s und Mating
that Got. Barnes and Scott, oi Peiry,
bad told him that it was doubtful that
a free hornet bill could pass, he lashed
out blind!/ tuc fun usiv with both feet
at Barnes, Jenkins, Scott andTh mi>s >n
As Eeglesion has been working tbe
same free home racket for over two years
it looke very much as if the circular Is a
mere excuse for Flynn to shoot ofl tbe
loaded roast he had carried around for
sometime. A great many of Fiynn's
friends had been beefing because he had
lately connubiated too much with Barnes
aud he probably made this brilliant
break to square himself with them. His
roast was so poorly figured out, however,
that he has already bad to crawfish on
several of his statements. And the lat-
est report is that he hunted u? Jenkins
to withdraw some of the charges he
made against him. The whole affair
is nothing but a kindergarten spat and
probably inside of a few months he
will be inviting them all to slide down
his cellar door.

McKinley has at last come out and
said what he proposes to do with the
Filipinos. He says tbe Philippines are
as much ours as tbe Louisiana purchase
or Texas or Alaska. We bought them
from Spain aud they became our terri-
tory, and he proposes to suppress the
isurrection and establish American au-
thority no matter bow many people are
killed, or how many dollars are spent.
He failed to show however, that Spain
had either title or possession to sell us,
or how this government could acquire
any right to subjugate and govern
9,000,000 people living 7,000 miles from
this country, by a purchase from another
country that never had had possession of
tbe territory nor control of tbe people
out government was trying to buy.
McKinley kn« w that Spain had no title
to those islands tbat she could sell to us
oi any other nation, and that this gov
eminent had no right to attempt to buy
them, but he went through the farce of
buying them from Spain to get a color
of title expecting to be able to bulldoze
the Filipinos into submission to our
sovereignty with little trouble and with-
out a flglit. One of his commissioners
stated a short time ago that he had no
idea it would lake more than 50v,rJ troops
to coerce the Filipinos into submission
when ho signed the treaty. But in these
roHeate calculations McKinley and his
crowd ot land grabbers were badly mis-
taken. They now find it will take 100,
000 troops to subjugate the people they
tried to buy and before they get through
they will probably find that seyeral hun-
dred thousand more will be required to
keep them permanently in subjection.
And when it is done what will the tann-
ers, mechanics and laborers who furnish
the soldiers and the millions of money
required get out of it.
Furmors Against Expansion.
On his return to Washington lately
from a tour of the west Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson gave out an inter-
view in which, after dcscanting per-
functorily upon the prosperity of the
farming classes iu the Bection visited, he
lauuehed oul upon polilicul themes.
|]Amoug other things he said: "The
people of the United Htutes are satisfied
with the present policies of the adminis-
tration. They are gratified with the
good wages for labor and with the pros-
perous manufacturing activities They
are sanguine of our commercial future
The West is uuanimously in favor of ex-
pansion."
It would be interesting to know by
what legerdi main Secretary Wilson dis-
covered this unanimity for expansion in
the west while undergoing the short pro-
cess of beiuu whirled across the couutry
in u palace car.
His ability or willingness to interpet
the minds of the agriculturists of the
country is less than that of the VFarm
aud Home," an agricultural journal
published at Springfield, Mass., and at
Chicago, 111.. with a wide circulation
among the tai mors over the entire coun-
try Home time ago it made a canvass
of its readers on the subject of expan-
sion, uskiug iliem to mail their replies on
postal card to a series of questions.
About 21,000 replies were received, 10
per cent being from New England, 20
per cent from tbe Middle Stales. 40 per
cent Iroui tL' Middle Wes' and the re-
maining 20 per cent divided between the
South and the Far West. Over 50 per
cent of the r plies were from the west.
"Should the Filipinos be held in sub-
jection by t..< Cnited States, or should
they be silt ved to form an independent
government ' was one of the questions
asked. Ea:t of the five sections of the
country dec! *red in favor of indepen
dence by a decided majority, tbe totals
beine 12,520 for independence and ft,416
for conquest-
"In genera", should the United States
adhere to or depart from its former pol-
icy of noninterference with nations be-
yond either ocean?" was another ques-
tion. Ther> were 15,842 in favor of our
minding our own business and only 3,-
SS9 who indorsed an opposite course.
From this it would seem that Secre-
tary Wilson is indebted to his imagina-
tion and not lo facts for his opinion that
"the west is unanimously*in favor of ex-
pansion," and to bis wishes for the
character of all his statements on tbe
subject. The test applied by the agri-
cultural paper is a fair one. It indicates
that the farmers of the country, who
do much of the thinking and the largest
share of the voting, are opposed to the
abolishment of the Monroe Doctrine and
'.he substitution of government by con-
quest for government by consent.—St.
Louis Republic.
