This resolution was defeated, as it required a two- thtrda vote, and the vote atood 15* for it and 181 against it, only two Repub­ licans voting qfalnat and only five Democrats favoring It To this statement, the Bryan man replied that no such bill wa* ever pre­ sented by tbe ftepubUcaaa, and further that congress had no power to pass a conatltulpnal amendment, as that could only be accomplished by a three- fourth* vote of the legislature of each ■fate In tbe Uuion. The McKinley man, In the face of thle flat refusal to acknowledge the ab­ solute trutb, naturally desired to get the exact record for his statements, and referred the case to the New York Pres* for Its statement, That paper thus replied: "You are almost exactly right.

But the actual population would bring thlB up nearer to |28 per bead, or almost *6 more than It was In 1895.. The total amount at this date Is 2100 million dollars, as compared with 1600 million dollars five years ago. EJvery dollar today Is worth one hundred cents gold and as good as every other dollar.

OmMfitie FltthtM Wfcite Bteied th# Cry «r InpirtalitB. President Beth Low, of Columbia university,'in his speech, seasonably recalls another Democratic national platform, beside that of 1861 with its terrifying predictions of Republican imperialism and the imminent down­ fall, of the nation at the hands of the Republican party. In 18*1, the Democrats resolved, at New York, that,under the Republican party's "repeated assaults the pillars of the government are rocking on their base, and should It succeed la November next, and Inaugurate its president, we Will meet, as a subjected and conquered people, amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the constitution.” The same Democratic platfrom fur­ ther declared certain seta of congress to be "a flagrant ueurpatlon of power which can find no warrant in the con­ stitution, and, if sanctioned by tha people, will subvert our form of gov­ ernment, in which the aspurate exist­ ence of the states will he eatlreiy ab- -orbed, and an unqualified deepo’ i ftt be established in place of a Feueral Union 0* co-equal itatea,” How mild and gentle compared with these words of thirty-two years ago, ore the same Democracy's "Imperial* i*t” murmurs of today.

OfBoUt gtMrdi -Showtkera Senr U'u* A*f Alllnw With A(aiwldo—rotors tha lilNd* Oeiarwlnetl by C(l|r«> u (he riokl Authority. .President McKinley'S letter of ac­ ceptance is more than a mere political statement of opinion. In its complete review of the acts of his administra­ tion it affords also much information, entirely new to the public, particular­ ly in regard to Philippine affairs, as to make it a state paper of the high­ est rank. No citizen who cares .to bo fully Informed about the.: questions of such vast consequence , can afford to overlook the Information, official in character, that the letter supplies, much of It never known until now, and many of -the facte of most recent occurrence. ’ Important in this Information Is tbs confirmation of what was previously only surmise, that It the Untied States did not take the Islands, another pow­ er stood.ready to. acquire them from Spain, This is not explfcity stated in the letter, but It was one of tbe cir- cunurfances controlling the president's Instructions to our commissioners in Baris to negotiate terms of peace with Spain. Full quotations from these instruc­ tions as oent our commissioners from timo to time, make a graphic narra­ tive and also completely confirm the correctness of the president’s position that circumstances compelled, the United States, aa a matter of duty, to aaaume full responsibility for the Phil­ ippine {glands. As the president says, "war brings responsibilities which we could not honorably rfcn away from.'! The official records further fully show that there was never any alli­ ance between thi3 government and Agulnaldo. No other view of this is, possible In regard to these confidential official communications, unl«3s we as­ sume that Admiral Dewey and Gener­ al Otis and other official representa­ tives of the United States on the ground deliberately lied to him and to tha people In their official capacity. The. president’s instructions to the Taft commission, now in the Philip­ pines, are of the highest Importance M a complete reply to cvciy pretense of Imperialism, showing the promise to the island*™ of all the rights and privileges that Americans have at home. Of vital interest, and right down to dote, is information that has Just ar­ rived at Washington, Ic-lng the latest report of the Taft oommf3slon, dated *0 recently as August 21, This re­ port, signed by all the members of the commission. Democrats as well s i Re­ publicans, shows that the insurrec­ tion is virtually suppressed, AU West­ ern Luzon, except two provinces, is substantially af peace, The people ar* busy planting their crops and asking for municipal organization. Hallways and telegraph lines have not been dls* turbsd for five months. The econom­ ies! administration of the revenues of th* Islands by the existing military government has already created a sur­ plus fund of 16,000,090, schools are be­ ing Mtabllshed everywhere, and the natives ar# availing themselves of the opportunities tor education with such Aagsrnese Stmt, is a taw years, English Wilt be th* official language! It is the purpose to admit Filipinos to such offices under the provisional government as they are able to fill, In order that they may familiarise themselves with tho duties of self-gov­ ernment, But the American people wilt not waut the Philippine Islands tented over to Agulnaldo and his tol- lowsrs under a protectorate. "They wilt hot make the murderers of our soldier* the agents of the republic to terry the blessings of liberty and or­ der to the Philippines,” "These facts show my countrymen what is being done to bring the bene^ fits of liberty and good government to tees* wards of the nation,” says p m , ident McKinley, He adds: "Not for aggraadlssmest, not for trade, not for exploitation, but for humanity and civilisation.” After showing what has keen done, the president gives this fledge for the future: "It la our pnrpoas t« estshliah in the Philippi*** * government wdtebte t» tl» WMtt ASdaoMttteM ef fee inhab­ itants and t o prepare them for self- government, and to give them self- goyerament when they arq ready for It and as rapidly as they are ready for it " This, of course, is according to the conclusions that congress may teach In it3 own time and way. For it must be remembered that whatever Presi­ dent McKinley has done- or' is doing, is always subject to the authority of congress, and that his acts,are simply adding the ground and making the best that passing opportunity may per­ mit, of circumstances as they arise. He is the custodian under the constitution of these possessions of the United States. Their final disposition can alone be made by congress, acting as the people's , direct representatives. That, however, will surely be just as McKinley sayB: "The American question is between duty and, desertio. :he American verdict will be for duty and against desertion, for the republic agalnBtboth anarchy and imperialism.” | f t o b t n ' s C o n c e r t BY FRANK D. UK0OK9. /I d Actual Occurrence. When the first days of spring'Came In Washington, a tree in one of the tittle parks, of which there arc many In the rity, whitened - witlt bloom nearly iwO weeks beforo there appeared any buds or verdure on tho Other tree.- or shrub­ bery. There were no leaves on the'tree which bloomed. The blossoms swelled and burst their petals on the branches until -they looked like a summer cloud. Fronting oa this park is a homo In which n sick child had lain for weeks and weeks. She was nursed by one of the old black mammies ‘so numerous in the national capital. As the sunshine be­ came warmer, so that the window In the room at the sick child could be raised at certain hours, tho- child asked tbe old mammy to- push her white bed near the window, and It was by this open window the old mammy Bat and held the child's hands as she told her this story: "Ifoney, dst tree dat took so like de cotton,hi my olo home is what dey call de Japimee magnoli. It doan* got tw lebcs on it, honey, tike do magnolia in Dixie. An I tell you, honey, why it ain't got no lebes. Artor while, honey, dar Will come a robin redbreast to,sing dar in do middle of de white bloom. An de good mau want you, my honey, to see dat robin redbreast, an so ho doab' put no lebes on do tree. Ivase If dar wuz lebes on dat tree my honey cudden see de robin redbreast. Dot’s why. An do robin red­ breast ho gwine to sing fo' you, honey, jes' fo’ you.” A few days later, while the sun was shining warm and flooding tho room, the old mammy moved the white bed to the window and raised tho sash. And s robin, with breast as rich as est-dinsl, lighted on a branch of the Japanese mag* nolia and sang until Its notes filled the tree of bloom and all the little park. It was in the morning. After a little white the robin took its flight, and th# window sash in the sickroom was lowered. "Honey, whst did I dona tell you7' said the old mammy a* sh* tucked the coverlets about the sick child. . "Dat wna fo' you, honey. De good man he knowed yon wu* sick an he send de robin redbreast to sing fo* you. An do robin- redbreast he gwln# away. \\hat he gwine, honey?

Kate he know you'* sick, honey, an de good mau gwine to take kecr ob you an de robin redbreast,” In the afternoon* jnet before the nonilet gun was iircd at Fort M?#r, in the Vir­ ginia hills, tho robin came back and tote hi*"place in the bloom of tho magnolia two and Sang. Tho sick child wa* again wheeled in her white bed near the wii- dow, and the black mammy was by her "I know-ed he'd done cotoe bate.” eh# fg i*® **» «*<* «»>Hd.
