From the very nature of tilings, should the Philippine islands pass under the dominion of the United States, we could never hope to Amer joanize them. A few thousand adven turous Americans might try their hands in business and speculation here, but no considerable number o f Americans would go there, even tf it were a colonial dependency of the United States, And even if our pro pie should desire to go there to enter • usiness they could do so advanta geously enough under any olhei government, for it is quite certain that Spain will have to relinquish the islands'to some stronger European power sooner or later. The colonial system of govern ment being r pugnant to the spirit cf our democratic institutions, it would be folly to inaugurate it in tins case. The Philippine natives, mostly Ma lays, are among the most vicious and depraved people on earth. They are an intractable and unruly race, and would he perpetually warring against any government that might be insti tuted. Their leaders would o.onsbitiy foment strife and rebellion and a standing army there would find nself perpetually employed suppressing insurrections. In our judgment our government will experience to its ful] satisfaction what it means to deal with such a class of people before it gets throupdi with the Cuban insur gents, and why should it pile its troubles mountain high by retaining thy Philippines? It may be said that it would be oiuel for the United States to turn the Philippine natives bark to Spaim t hereby permitting a continuance of Spanish brutality and oppression. We must confess that we see now a great deal of jingoism in all this talk about oppiessed Cubans and the line- The war has demonstrated that the Cuban and Philippine insurgents are so worthless a lot that it is hard to realize how they could bo oppressed' The events of the next ft tv years in Cuba will cause the United States to sympathize a great deal with Spam In some particulars, for our government wilt realize in the severe sch xil of experience many of the vexatious problems Spain was called upon to solve. Besides, it is not the business of the United States to go blustering around the globe, seeking a fight wherever a government is oppressing its people, if that is the correct doctrine then we should say to the Sultan cf Turkey that he should ameliorate the condi tions of his Armenian subjects, and it lie fails to do so, declare war against Turkey. We might with propriety, also, demand that England grant home rule to Ireland, Yv r e might say to Nicholas, of Russia, that he should no longer permit the Siberian horrors llwever much we may sympathize with a down irudeen race, it is not always our duty to revolutionize the governments of the world and bring hem to our way of thinking - There are many ways of oppressing people, and the United States have their ways- If the Philippine insurgents are oppressed by the Spanish tax gatherer, is it just to impose a heavy tax on our people to remove the burdens from the shouide > if tie thieving Malays?
