BACON WANTS_A DECLARATION
Continued from First Page.
sequences of the act, thus violate the
principle of the right of self government.
It is incredible, nay. Impossible, that the
liberty-loving people of these United
States will consent that by power of arms
the dominion of this government shall be
enforced upon a people who have owed
us no allegiance—'Who are struggling to be
free.
“There is not a civil official of the gov
ernment who will admit that he favors
such an act. There is not a public man
in the country who will admit that he
favors the enslavement of a people. There
U not a senator who would not iepel the
charge if made against him. And yet
there ore many who arc advocating a
course, the inevitable consequence of
which, if successfully pursued, is to ac
complish the enslavement of the people of
the Philippine Islands."
Want* fin Avowal of It.
He quoted from the speech of Senator
Foraker the statement that it was not the
purpose to hold the Philippines permanent
ly, and said:
“I am especially glad to have the as
surance of the distinguished senator that,
of his own knowledge, the position thus
stated by him is the position of the Presi
dent of the United States. If that position
can be assured as the one which this gov
ernment will take and adhere to. there
will bo little difference or contention be
tween us. The resolutions which 1 have
introduced, and the adoption of which 1
am now advocating.’ agree substantnally
with tho position announced by the sena
tor from Ohio. What I desire, however,
is that there shall be now an avowal of
this position by the law-making power
of this government, in a jojnt resolution
of Congress approved by the President.
Pledge* ere Made.
"When we declared war against Spain
we also declared that we did not go to
war for our aggrandizement or for the
acquisition of territory. We said that, on
the contrary, we went to war to make
good to the people of Cuba the title to
the independence and freedom, which all
recognized that as a people they had al
ready won, and to secure for them the
establishment of a stable government. The
war has passed, and In a way almost mi
raculous we were shielded from the great
sacrifice. There has been no foreign in
tervention, and there will he none. Not
only has there been no European Inter
ference as to Cuba, but It is a recognized
and conceded fact that we may without
hindrance from European governments
work our own will with the Philippine Isl
ands.
"Now, what I wish to accomplish by
these resolutions is that the United Slates
shall In this hour of victory; in this hour
of undisputed physical power, mafce sub
stantially the same declaration relative
to the Philippine Islands that they have
made relative to Cuba.”
Itlght* of the Fillpliio*.
Mr. Bacon declared there was no dif
ference In the rights of the Cubans and
Filipinos, and they should all be consid
ered equal under the resolution adopted by
Congress, although the Philippines were
not in mind at the time of the declara
tion of war. He said our obligations to
the Philippines rested upon the alliance
of the Americans with the Filipinos dur
ing the war, and added:
‘"But that alliance and co-operation did
put us mider a strong moral obligation
not to make a peace with Spain which
did not include In its terms the sunder
ing of the bonds which bound to her the
Philippine Islands. That obligation did not
grow out of the fact alone that the Philip
pines were in rebellion to Spain, because
we did not declare war to correct all the
wrongs indicted by Spain on her colonies.
We declared war only on account of
Cuba, and our obligation to the Philip
pines grew solely out of the accident of
war which threw us Into co-operation and
alliance with these insurgents against the
dominion of Spain.
Island* Should He Free.
"Again, we hear frequent and earnest
assertions that it is our duty to see to
it that European nations do not appro
priate the Philippine Islands. Well, sir,
I do not wish to see these Islands be
come the prey of the land-grabbing na
tions of Europe. I wish and hojie to sec
the inhabitants of the Philippines a free
and independent nation. They have the
territory and the population sufficient for
nationality, and they have shown their
leadiness to fight for their freedom. I
hope that by negotiation or otherwise it
may be arranged and agreed among the
leading natione that they may remain a
free nation.
•1 am willing that the United States
shall through peaceful measures endeavor
to accomplish this result. But lam not
willing that the United States shall go
to war to protect the Philippines from be
ing despoiled and appropriated by one or
more European nations. No Asiatic com
munity Is the ward of the United States,
and to no Asiatic community do the
United States owe the obligation of guar
dianship. I am not indifferent to the
welfare of such communities, but I am
unwilling that the treasure of this gov
ernment shall be consumed and the blood
of the American youth be poured out for
their protection. We have nobler uses
both for tho treasure and the young man
hood of this country'.
Early Action Important,
"I am most deeply impressed with the
Importance of the prompt announcement
by this government of the declaration
contained in these resolutions, that the
United States do not intend to establish
its dominion over the Philippine Islands
"One good result from such a declara
tion will, in my opinion, be the prompt
conclusion of all questions growing out of
the war with Spain.
“Another and most important result will
be the Immediate relief from Ihe most ,m
barrassing and threatening situation in the
Philippine Islands. It is useless for us to
shut our eyes to the fart that Ihe Ameri
can and Philippine armies are confronting
each other with danger of collision. Why
is this? It is because the Filipinos who
fought Spain for their freedom, do not in
tend to become the vassals of the T'niteJl
States, and while senators announce on
this floor that there Is no intention to Im
pose this government upon an unwilling
people, there are other utterances which
lead the Filipinos to a contrary conclu
sion.
Filipino* Would Fight.
"In consequence of all this there is dan
ger of bloodshed between the American
and Philippine armies. If this declaration
is promptly and authoritatively made by
tiiLs government, the apprehension will be
relieved, and there will lx- no distrust of the
American army or thought of hostility to
it.
"Unless we make this declaration, an
accident, a trifle, may precipitate that
clash at any hour.
"It is not to I* hoped that the Filipinos,
who were fighting for their freedom be
fore we declared war against Spain, will
surrender their country to the United
States without a struggle. Every report
we receive shows that, they will not do
so. If there should come a collision, if
there should be battle between the Ameri
cans and Filipinos, ii will t>e a fearful
shock for us to realize that a war under
taken for the liberation of Cuba has been
converted into one to subjugate the Phil
ippines."
\nt IlelM'l*.
Mr. Paeon said that the Filipinos W'ere
erroneously spoken of in dispatches as
rebels and insurgents, and declared these
were not 111 terms, as they were not rebels
against Spain, and could not be called
rebels against the United States.
Mr. Bacon then entered upon an argu
ment against the annexation of distant
territory with a dense population of an
alien and inferior race. He said:
■"lf annexed, this territory must either
he In the end admitted as states in the
Union, with their people as citizens en
titled to equal rights and powers with the
citizens of other states, or the territory
must be held as colonies with their people
as subjects and vassals of the United
States
"It is impossible that our people should
ever consent that these Asiatic communi
ties should be admitted as states into the
Union, clothed with the power to assist
in making laws for Americans.
The Logical Itesnll*.
“What is ihe result if these islands are
acquir'd a 1 "! held'as cokfhies? The logic
of the situation will be to acquire more
Asiatic territory, and after that, to reach
out for still more. There is no reason for
the acquisition of the Philippines which
will not apply to the acquisition of other
parts of Asia, each acquisition furnishing
a reason why other parts still beyond
should be also acquired.
"Under this policy our government will
abandon its peaceful career and reach out
to the ends of the earth for empire and
power that we may with a strong arm
dominate and rule over distant lands and
peoples of every race, condition and color.
This reaching out for empire will inevita
bly lead to wars, not auch wars as the
little one with its trifling sacrifices through
which we have Just passed, but great
wars with all their sacrifices.
"It means vast armies, composed In
large part of our young men, ready on a
day’s notice to cope in bloody conflict
with the great military powers of the
earth. England is especially eager that
the United States shall seize the Philip
pines. Why? Is it because she is so anx
ious to witness the further expansion and
aggrandizement of power of the United
States? Or ts it because she sees ahead
of her a gigantic world's war over the
partition of China in which the United
States shall be compelled to take part, and
In which she wishes and hopes that they
may be her ally?’’
The Curse of War,
Mr. Bacon made an earnest argument
against war.
"As war is the greatest curse of a na
tion," he said, "so is peace Its most price
less possession. In this one respect we
are the most blessed of any nation of the
earth. Situated as we are, and powerful
as We are, we need never engage in war
unless we voluntarily seek it. When we
cease to confine ourselves to our own
hemisphere, when we undertake to meddle
with the affairs of all the world, especially
when in so doing we surrender the Mon
roe doctrine and consent to the intermed
dling of Europe in the affairs of the
American hemisphere, then indeed will
this priceless immunity be gone forever.
"War seldom fails to claim its victims,
anT"the vacant places and broken homes
will find poor compensation in the glitter
and splendor of a government i>owerfu! In
the possession of a vast empire, paid for
in the lives of its citizens, and held at the
price of ever recurring wars.”
(treat C'o*t of Colonic*.
Mr. Bacon discussed the question of the
cost, civil and military, of keeping up a
colonial government in the Philippines,
and said that the vast expense must nec
essarily add largely to the taxes Imposed
on the people, and that the war tax would
have to be continued indefinitely, as it
would l>e lmt>osslb!e to raise the increased
amount through tariff duties. The great
difficulty and danger of transporting large
bodies of troops across thq Pacific, in the
face of hostile fleets, was Also commented
on by him.
He urged the point that the Pllippine
Islands, so far from being an element of
strenght, would, from their distance, nec
essarily be the weakest point, if they be
came a part of the United States; that in
case of war our enemy would strike us
there, just us we struck Spain there, be
cause it was her weakest point.
Work Enough at Home.
He concluded by urging that the Amer
ican people nad enough to do In develop
ing their own country, which, exclusive of
Alaska, was ample for a population of
300,000,000, and in developing our own re
sources there was enough to task the en
ergies and inspire the hopes of our people
for centuries to come.
Following Mr. Bacon’s speech, the Nica
ragua canal bill was taken up, and re
mained under discussion until 6 o’clock.
The Caffery substitute, which was pend
ing, was laid on the table by a vote of 32
to 22. Amendment after amendment was
voted down, and until almost the last min
ute it seemed likely that a vote on the
measure would be reached this evening;
but Just as a final vote was about to be
called for. Mr. Allison, Republican of
lowa, exploded a bomb under the bill by
offering an amendment providing that the
Secretary of the Treasury should issue
bonds to raise money with which to con
struct the canal.
Tho friends of tho measure then consent
ed to an adjournment, and at 6 o'clock the
Senate adjourned.

PERFUMERY SECRETS.
How the Scent of Flowers I* Canglif
in Fat anil Transferred to Alcohol.
From the Birmingham (Eng.) Post.
The fluid substance of which a bottle
of first-class scent consists is not water,
but highly rectified spirits of wine, im
pregnated with the desired odor; but the
infusion of frpgant flowers In spirits of
wine would fail to produce the desired
result. Ar. intermediate process Is requis
ite, and that consists of enchaining the
subtle perfume of the flowers by means
of fat, for which they have a very strong
affinity, whereas spirit is simply a solvent.
Some flowers are macerated in fat, while
others are simply brought into close jux
taposition to grease-covered screens, with
the result that the fat becomes ueavMy
charged with perfume, and will yield it
afterwards to Ihe spirits of wine. The first
task of the manufacturer, unless this work
is done for him by an intermediary, is to
derive from the pomades what is called
a "simple extract.” In Birmingham, the
pomade, worth from 5 shillings 6 pence
to 7 shillings a pound, is first opened out
into filaments by a squeezer, and is then
placed in a churn containing some twenty
gallons of spirits. The beaters of the
churn are kept rotating by machinery for
al*>ut a week, at the end of which time
the spirit is drawn off and is found to have
taken up the odor of the flowers in an in
tense degree.' The spirit is afterward
frozen to facilitate the removal of a cer
tain residue of fat, and after this it forms
are di.uted and blended into articles for
a perfectly clear and limpid "simple ex
tract," and is placed upon the laboratory
shelf!
It is in tho lalioratory (hat the materials
the toilet. It is here where the receipt
book, and s.lll more a cultivated appre
ciation of odor, comes into play. Scents
are placed upon the market bearing the
names of most of the odoriferous (lowers
known. Few only of these are direct ex
tracts from the flowers by which they are
called. The vast majority are imitations
—perfume pictures, in fact—of the orig
inals. Violet scent is not wholly derived
from the violet, but Ihe floral extract has
to be h< Iped and reinforced by odors more
(permanent and derived from other sources.
Of late years synthetic fragrant oils have
been obtained from that Protean substance
coal tar.
The old-fashioned "Ess Bouquet" is
composed of eight ingredients in their ap
propriate proportions, the predominant el
ements being musk and vanilla. "Jockey
Club” makes a call upon nine sources of
supply, musk, civet and orris being promi
nent. "Opopanax” has twelve ingredi
ents. whi.e “Parma Violet" scent has
fourteen. Upon the other hand, there are
some simpler blonds. Among them is the
once fashionable but now vulgar patchou
ly oil and attar of roses. Many Improve
ments have been made In the formulae or
iginally In use, and the odors of not a
few deltoately scented flowers are now
transferred to the toilet table, which, ten
years ago, were not regarded as tvithin
the range of practical treatment.

SHE BALKED AT THE OPERA.
IT ISN'T E.ISV TO SHOW A RAW
TEXAS GHtL ABOIT TOWX.
A Chaperon Who IVml Everywhere
Hilt Dmlceil the Opera—Couldn't
Get Out of Going There, and Then
Had a MM Serious Time in Identi
fy ins the Celebrities.
From the New York Sun.
A young woman, who knows a good
deal about music, but very little about
the New York 400, had a trying evening
not long ago, and is not sure whether
she will be punished for perjury or receive
a martyr’s crown when accounts are set
tled. In her youth, before her inclinations
counted for anything, she lived in Texas.
Her family still lives there, and friends
of the family, who visit New Y'ork, have
a way of expecting her to be their guide,
philosopher and friend. Sometimes she
doesn’t. It all depends upon the friends.
A weak or two ago a dear old lady came
up from Texas with wads of money tucked
about promiscuously in her luggage and
pockets. She hadn't seen New York be
fore, and she didn't come to see it this
time. The visit was a holiday treat for
her granddaughter, aged la, and thirsting
for experience. The young woman, who
escaped from Texas years ago, was called
into consultation. She had known the
grandmother and loved her, and she was
prepared to offer herself up on the altar
of old acquaintance and family friendship,
but she wished the sacrificial rites had
not been Eet for holiday week.
When she called at the hotel her old
friend welcomed her with open arms.
“I’m not going out at all myself,’’ she
said. “I’m too old for gallivanting
around; but I want Jenny to see all there
is to be seen; and I knew you could show
it to her. You just take her around and
have a good time, and never mind about
the money, I don’t care what it costs.’’
The New York woman looked at Jenny
and sighed; but it was cheering to know
that the cost needn’t be considered. When
a little girl has frowsy blonde hair, and
grown-up clothes, and an inquiring ex
pression. giving her a good time is likely
to be expensive.
For a week the guide and the novice
burned money; and the smoke of the fire
went up from all the quarters in which
girls delight. They lunched on reed birds
and champagne, wherever reed birds and
champagne come high. The guide didn't
include ohampagne in her plans, but the
infant from Texas demanded it. Appar
ently she had an idea that in New York
champagne was the only beverage, and
that if one were going to drink tea and
ice water one might as well be visiting
Kokomo, Ind. So the New York woman
strangled her misgivings and effete ideas
about children and devoted all her atten
tion to seeing that the glasses were not
filled often. She took her charge to mati
nees, and mercifully refrained from telling
her that the heroes were all sober married
men in private life, and devoted to their
wives. She appealed to married friends,
and, under the chaperonage, arranged a
dinner in Chinatown. She rode in auto
mobiles and pointed out the houses of the
nabobs. She spent hours at milliners and
dressmakers, and tried vainly to tone
down the effulgent taste of youth and
Texas. She experimented with the Art
museum, but dropped it quickly, for the
experiment wasn't a success.
Altogether her devotion was admirable,
but from one ordeal she shrank. She didn’t
feel that she could show the opera to her
protege and escape nervous prostration.
Not a word did she say about opera, and
as the days went by she congratulated
herself that she had avoided the reef.
Thursday evening she dined at the Fifth
avenue caravansery, where her friends
were staying. Between the salad and des
sert the infant looked thoughtful.
“Well, we re going home Saturday morn
ing. Thai leaves just one more day. I'll
have fits at the tailor's and dressmaker's
all day, and we’ll go to the opera in the
evening. We've pretty near forgotten
grand opera. Y'ou see about tickets, will
you?”
The blow had fallen. The music iover
groaned inwardly. If the opera had been
"Faust,” “Carmen”—but it would be
“Lohengrin.” and to hear Wagner with
the Texan infant would be awfuf.
The infant wanted a box. Boxes and
champagne were New York, but when the
victim gently explained the Metropolitan
box system, she agreed to descend to or
chestra chairs. No orchestra seats could be
secured, and. at last, the couple found
themselves settled in dress circle seats at
the left of the hduse.
“It’s pretty big,” admitted the infant, as
she looked at the house, “but it isn’t as
big as I expected."
The friend apologized for the Metropoli
tan.
“What’s grand opera like?"
“Oh, well, they sing, you know, and I’ll
tell you the story of this opera?”
She told the story, but it seemed very
brief and bald.
“It must be an awfully short opera,”
said the infant critically. “It ain’t much
of a story.” When the curtain went up she
listened attentively while the chorus did
its stunt.
"I can’t understand a word they say,”
she announced reproachfully.
"Of course you can’t, child. It Is in Ger
msn."
"Oh! Is it all German? Yes? Well, what’s
the use of going to opera if you can’t un
derstand it? What are they singing about?
The victim explained.
“Well, they’re wasting lots of time about
It. That’s Elsa, she’s nice. I hope she’ll
stir things up.”
"She will,” said the victim grimly. Then
she tried to cheer up and resign herself to
not hearing ihe music.
"I’m sorry Jean de Reszke doesn’t sing
to-night," she said politely.
“Is Jean de Reszke a man or a woman?”
asked the infant in grown-up clothes. That
floored the New York woman. Such an
abyss of igorance was appalling. She sat
limp and overwhelmed; and the swan song
trickled through her head without giving
her any sensation whatever. She was try
ing to remember what she was at 15.
"I must say, I like the ’Runaway Girl’
better than this,” the infant asserted,
stoutly. ”1 don’t believe lhat anybody
really likes this. What makes them just
go on and on like that anil not do any
thing at all? Have you seen this before?”
The New Y'ork woman replied in a
dreary way that she had. She didn’t men
tion that she had probably heard it twen
ty times. The infant looked at her sym
pathetically.
“It’s just too bad you had to come and
stand It again. I don’t wonder you look

A woman cannot have a fair skin or fine figure if her wo
manly organs are weak or diseased. Such a thing is utterly im
possible. On the other hand, a woman with strong, vigorous
perfectly healthy organs cannot be homely, emaciated or unat
tractive. The minute you drive disease out, the features, the
skin and the figure will show a wonderful change for the better.
Beauty in woman is nothing but the outward indication of
health. Wine of Cardui does for women what cosmetics and
powders cannot do. It is for the cure of all feminine ailments.
It doesn’t matter much what the doctors call the trouble. Wine
of Cardui is the remedy. No suffering woman ought to delay

A CHANGE
TO MAKE MONEY.
In Ihe next month there are certain articles we want to get for a collection
which wc want to get up, and for which we will pay liberal prices. Some no doubt
will be hard for any one to furnish, but there may possibly be a very bright person
who can furnish the hardest ones. The first thing we want is
A CUSHION FOR THE SEAT OF WAR.
This is not very hard, so can only pay $5 for It.
A SHEET FOR THE BED OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER.
This will be rather a hard one, so the first person bringing it in will get 125.
For
A PAIR OF SUSPENDERS FOR THE PANTS OF A DOG
We will be willing to go as high as $lO.
These three things we want this week. Who will be so lucky as to furnish them?
THIS Is ONE WAY for you to make MONEY', and another way la for you to
come to us when you want anything in the
Furniture, Carpet,
Stove or Bicycle Line.
Especially in the latter line can you make money for some time to come.
Fifty-Dollar ’99 Wheels
can be bought for THIRTY-SEVEN AN D A HALF DOLLARS. These are genu
ine ’99 wheels, and of the very best make. Some of them are made by the Lathy
people. We have decided to close out our wheel business entirely, and these prices
are the ACTUAL COST OF SAME. No humbug. Come and see for yourselves.
We have the following makes of whe els: LUTHY, VICTOR, IMPERIAL,
CRAWFORD. All high grade wheels—no ne better. We have only a limited stock,
so come at once If you want them.

lonesome. It ain’t so bad for me, because
1 like to see just what opera’s like, even
if it is like this; but it's a pity to let you
in for this just on my account. You’re
awfully good about it.”
The victim’s sense of humor began to
assert itself.
“Don't worry about that,” she said, with
a queer little smile. Then the curtain
went down and the lights flared up.
"Now, this is fun,” remarked the In
fant.
“I love to look at people and their
clothes. I must say, though, there aren’t
half so many Jewels as I thought there'd
be. Now, you show me the big folks in
the boxes. That’ll be lovely.”
The New York woman hesitated for a
moment. She dkln’t know to whom the
single box belonged, and she didn’t know
a member of the 400 by sight; but she
thought of the infant’s disappointment and
disgust stirred her to action. She
wouldn’t confess her ignorance. Her pro
tege ought to have something for her
money. She wanted to see celebrities.
She should see them. The chaperon ran
a mental eye over the society columns of
the papers. Then she sat up energetically,
and began to fill the boxes across the
house. She didn’t consult the diagram
on the programme. That would be too
tedious and less interesting than fiction
pure and simple. She pointed out the
Vanderbilt boxes, and named the occu
pants. She sprinkled the half horseshoe
with Astors. (The Astor box was on the
other side of the house, but that made
no difference to the infant, since she didn’t
know it.)
"Oh, is that Mrs. John Jacob Astor?”
cried the infant ecstatically.
“It is," said the chaperon, wondering
whether 'Mrs. Jack Astor was in Nice or
Alaska.
“Who's that with her?"
"That's Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney—
Vanderbilt, you know; married Secretary
Whitney’s son. The New York woman
recklessly cast facts and probabilities to
the winds, and warmed to her work.
"Lovely,” gurgled the Infant. “Go on.”
She went on. She knew the Goelets,

who were all in Europe. She introduce!
the infant to the Rockefellers and Goulds.
She pointed out George Vanderbilt and his
bride, and, growing rash, she threw in
foreign titles with careless abandon.
“There’s Lilluokalanl,” she said, point
ing out a swarthy dame with a tiara.
"Oh, does she wear her crown now?’’
“Yes, indeed.”
Finally the chaperon exhausted her list.
There wasn’t a bright particular star left
to fling into the constellation, and she s ink
back into her seat. The infant was glow
ing and looking tremendously pretty.
“What will the girl’s say when I tell
them I've seen ail these folks,” she said
triumphantly. Then she looked thoughtful
for a moment. ,
“Oh, yes. Where’s Chauncey Depowl
Pa knows him.”
The New York woman roused herself for
a final effort and looked desperate!?
through the boxes. She picked out a well
groomed man in the box she had presented
to the Whitneys.
"There! with Ihe Whitneys. He knows
them well, you know." .
