STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY dEFIEMBER 22, 9, . PHILIPPINE PROBLEM. Ecrious Statement Made by a j Leading Singapore Paper. rra VIEW OF OUR DUTY in the east I n Opinion of Whnt la I.lkclr to En no lr die Inalllutlon of n Joint i Srinitlsh-AtiicrleniiCoiiiiiiliiiiloii He nit of the Ilctnrn of tlm Philip. pine to Siinln An American Pro I tcctorntc Snlil to lie the Onlr Solu tion. Of tho latest war nows tho Item that most closely concerns tho far cast is the nnnouuconieut tlmt tho futuro of tho Philippines, concerning which tho Unit cd States gorcnmicnt is clearly unable to mako tip its mind definitely, is to bo considered by n joint commission of JVmoricau nnd Spanish delegatus. That Btatoment, if authentic, as thoro iaovery reason to suppose it to bo, may woll glvo cnaso for anxiety to nil who are interested in tho maiutonauco of tho balauco of power in tho far east, who desiro to eco peaco provail and com morro prosper nml who aro convinced that by retaining n lnrgo degreo of con trol over tho Philippines tho United States would thereby bo doing no moro than nssnming that position as n great power on tho Pnciflo that it is right and nocossnry for her to acquire It may well bo asked why, in tho nn nouueement of tho proposed institution of a Hispauo-Amcricau joint comiuis clou for tho determination of tho futuro of tho Philippines, thcro should bo up prohended any possibility of peril. Our reply is that tho danger Is to bo found In tho presumption, in tho fact of tho creation of such n commission, that tho rosult to bo arrived at must bo of tho nnturo of a com prom I so between tho in terests of tho two parties to tho discus sion. Compromise, to our thinking aud according to our ostimnto of tho situa tion, would in such n matter bo fatal to tho canso of lasting peaco. To compare, in passing, tho rclativo positions of tho populations of Cuba and of tho Philippines under Spanish rulo It is truo to say that whilo tho easier opportunity for American intervention was apparent in tho Cuban caso, partly owing to proximity and tho resultant commingling of commercial interests, yet tho diro necossity for intervention from somo humane quartor or other was far moro clamant in tho caso of tho Philippines. It is proper to nssumo that in both cases, Cuba and tho Philip pines, tho main features of Spanish ad ministration call it maladministra tion if you will wcro practically iden tical, and that therefore all tho conse quent grievances nud disabilities that ensued to tho dit-advantago of tho two populations wero similar in nuturo and perhaps in intensity. Had that been all tho mild and tract ablo Filipino population might uovor havo showod intoh r.incoof Spanish rule in tho way in which their brothers in misfortuuo in Cuba havo dono. But within thoPhilippinostherohas oxistcd for centuries a dominant power that has absolutely overridden tho entiro civil and military executivo and by its influence over theso has in effect held in tho hollow of its hand tho lives and fortunes of each individual Filipino bo yond all hopo of appeal for protection to tho ordinary tribuuols of tho law. Wo refer, of courbo, to tho great roll gious fraternities who sway to their arbi trary will every power of church and stnto in tho Philippines. Thoir mem bers, in many instances, aro grasping, unscrupulous and vicious. It bus been related by tboso who know that tho honor of wifo or tho virtuo of daughter of tho unlucky Filipino is hold at tho disposal of tho frailo on demand. Ito slstanco to such a demand means certain denouncement of tho victim to tho oivil power as a "Freemason" or a "sympa thizer with insurroctos. " Tho civil odlcial knows much bettor than to quostion any chargoof this kind omanatiug from snub n sourco, aud tho tmluoky man vanishos, porhapi forover, from his family. What goes on in Philippino prisons without trial in tho way of torturo, misery, thirst, starva tion, mutilation aud murder has boen of lato a common enough thomo. Theso religious orders havo, it is well known, boon expelled from Spain. Thoyhavono existonco in Cuba, but tho unfortunato Spanish colony of tho Philippines has boon thoir happy hunting grounds for many generations. It is against tho intolerable ocnturios of oppression and extortion at tho hands of these religious incorporations and thoir pliant tools of tho civil powor that tho Filipinos havo ontered upon thoir struggle, now at last crowned with suo cess owiug to tho encouraging influence and aid of Admiral Dowoy. By this in stitution of n joint Spanish-American commission as to tho Philippines what is likely to ensuo? First of all, it is to bo roniombered that tho American dele gates will not bo ablo to forget that Spain has boon defeated, her flcots havo boon wiped out, Cuba romoved from her jurisdiction, Porto Rico surrendered, whllo tho United States declines tccon Bon t to tako over nny of tho undoubted immense pecuniary indebtoduoss of ei ther Cuba or Porto Rico. Knowing nil that and going into conferenco with tho delegates of tho defeated powor with tho express object of treating with thorn ovor what has been apparently deliber ately left us nn open quostion tho dos tiny of tho Philippines can it humanly bo wondorcd at if tho tendency in tho mind of tho American dolcgatos will bo irresistibly toward concession and alio viation of tho terms, so as to onablo Spain to say that ont of tho general wreck of her colonial fortunos kIio had laved eoino fihreds of hor ancient digni ties and possesions? But what will all this moan? Jf it moans, in ony dogreo, a survival of , vJBpaush authority; if it moans tbo con ' tlnuod action of tho slenderest powers til tho obnoxious, cruel and extortiountn religious fraternities; if it means that thoso (as of necessity nlwoys) aro to re tain nn arbitrary powor of bending tho civil, magisterial and judicial ofllcinls to their irresponsible will, thon indeed will tho last state of tho pcoplo of tho Philippines bo worse than tho flrtt, for tho very first Impalso of tho Spanish powor, as mum ns may bo left of it, Ju iplrod by tho deadliest animosity of tho frailos, will bo toward tho crushing, tho extermination, of ovory man and woman who Jiwl dared to utrfvo for equity, justice, 4nuaUul govopraent froodom wid liborty of thought, speech wl ftctiott in tho Philippines. For i America tho question is this: "la Amer ica, after rousing hopes, aftor counto uanclug tho shedding of blood in aspira tion to thoso blessings of liborty aud justice which aro tho root and founda tion of national llfo of tho United Statos, to abandon tho slniplo people of tho Philippines to n fa(o which to com prohoud is to shnddor at?" Of courso America does not know. How can sho? But it is right nud fair to say, from an absolutely impartial aud unbiasod point of view if thoro bo bias at all it is in tho direction of a desiro to vindlcato American honor nnd roputntlon for justico that, whatovor tho canso of tho Cubans bo worth, that of tho Fi lipinos, from the poignancy of thoir suf ferings nnd tho hopolossness of thoir sighs for tho barest rights of humanity, deserves mi iuflnitoly deopcr nnd moro practical sympathy. Thoir spiritual rulers wo do not refer to tho simplo villago secular priesthood, most of thtm truo Filipinos havo boon practically so many Torquemadas to them. Every body should know nud understand what that monns. If, thou, tho joint commis sion is to imply tho smallest reasscrtion of Spanish authority ovor tho Philip pines aud tho temptation to accord it is no small one tho American pooplo, or thoir mandatories, will bo responsi ble for tho boginuing of an intorminablo civil war in tho Philippines, whoro now, within tho jurisdiction of Agui naldo nnd his civil magistrates, all is peaco ; llfo and property, ovon of Span iards, rospected; rovcuuopcnoofully col lected nnd applied to public purposes, nnd nil tho doceuoies of good govern ment nud justico faithfully nnd impar tially observed. Is that to bo undone forover, with nil tho bitterness of disap pointment and despair suoh n result will cntnil? America must answer tho ques tion ; sho alone. But it is moro than civil war that President McKiulcy will bring in sight if ho sanctions so obviously risky a thing ns this joint commission, with all its inevitable programme of compromise nnd concession to Spain, unthinking of nil that that may mean to hapless mil lions who liuvo burned thoir bridges bo hind them and gouo hand in hand with American soldiers nud sailors to tho liberation of thoir country from n rulo that has proved itself Cbiueho in its barbarous indilTerenco to tho miscrlos of tho ruled. Wo cannot boliovo it. If in America they could realize tho facts of tho situation in tho Philippines! But by tho fact of tho creation of this com mission thoy too clearly know not what they do. Thon, again, is it not easy to eoo that, onco grant Spain tho most nominal re covery of hnr authority over tho Phil ippines, or oven n portion of tho Philip pines, tho wny to oxterual iutrlguo on tho part of foreign nations, whom it is needless to specify, is thrown thorcby wide open. Spain has been beaten in tho war. Does America think that Spain will forgot this or forgivo it? What will bo tho inevitablo weapon of ro vengo? A foreign combination certainly. And how can that best bo promoted? Obviously by tho opening up of a way for foreign intervention in tho Philip pines which will bo of sucli n character as to challenge nnd to break up nny ar rangement that n joint commission may como to which recognizes nny concur rent status of Spain and the United States in tho Philippines nnd nny of tho dopeudencies thereof. To tho thoughtful and impartial ob server thoro iB hut ono wny only ouo. Tho Unitod Statos must so net aa at onco to secure tho permanent happiness and liborties of tho hitherto oppressed Filipino nation and to prcsorvo tho is lands from becoming tho theater of ex ternal intrigues, connhed at by Spain, which shall havo for thoir objoct tho oxtinutioii of tho nowly exerted uiid al together beneficent iuilucuco of Ameri ca in tho far east and tho disturbance of political power in such n manner aa to paralyzo tho action of tho pcaro lov ing and commerco promoting nationali ties already woll established on tho bhores of tho Pacific Britain, Japan and tho United States. Tho collcctivo interests, political and commercial, of thoso powers are of un absolutely over whelming character, nud tho loss tho chanco of conspiracy to disturb thoso interests tho hotter for humanity nt largo. Does America deliberately moan to abandon in tho far eatt ita present mag nificent opportunity of usefulness to civilization? Wo refuso to bcliovo it. Tho joint commission idea, even with a Filipino representation thrown in to glvo geuuiuo ovidonco and too fair play, is n peril to tho interests of tho Unitod States and to tho general interest of ull pucifiu nations that, too, evon if it wero hold at Manila, as it would need to bo. The only solution la nn American protectorate, ostensibly temporary, pos sibly, ovor tho Philippines, thus nt onco furnishing a lovor for tho liberation and elevation of a long oppressed and much onduring pcoplo nud n' security against tho intrusion of disturbing in fluences permanently unfriendly to the United Statos aud to tho nations whoso 0ympathies and aspirations in tho Pa cific ocoan aro thoroughly consonant with her own.

Tho girls scorn to think n wedding tho culmination of nil tho joy that can como to them. It is often tho end of their hnpplnosg.

I may Bay this, nnd on tho best author ity, no mnttcr how wealthy tho prospective brldo may bo, she does not load tho liouso down with dozens nnd dozona of now gar ments for indoor nud outdoor wear, nor ovon yet does sho buy such n useless lot of llngorlo ns was onco considered necessary. Whoro thoy wcro onco provided by tho hnlf gross of cncli special kind of underwear six sets or n dozen nt tho utmost aro thought enough, ns fashions In theso days change as often ns they do in outor garments. I know ono Indy v ho lind six dozen of ov crythiug, and nil of tho finest. Tho most of thoso garments nro up in hornttlo now, yellowed by ngo nnd hopelessly out of stylo. In thoso days tho fnshlonnblo brldo Is supposed to havo n few clothes boforo sho buys, her wtddlng outfit. Thoso nro not thrown aside, but put In thorough order, nnd if sho is going away a pretty traveling gown ia added. This, may bo of gray, llirht FOR AUTUMN WEAIt. brown, modo or Vendor; noer bluo or green or purplo or black; neither yellow nor tnn. If a young lady did so far forgot horself os to wear nny ono of thoso forbid den colors, sho might oxpect nil tho mis fortunes In tho dictionary. But sho may wenr yellow garters, or nt least ono. Her traveling cloak depends much upon tho sc.ion, in summer It often being of grny taffeta, with ribbons of tho snnio col or. In autumn it li naturally of heavier stuff and generally in tho ulster shapo, with n dotnchablo hooded enpo. Her trnvollng hat may bo n closo enpoto or a straw turban, but for fall It is oftcner of folt In nlplno form. This la a good shopo. Tho hat, gloves and as many things ns can bo nro of nearly tho same shado of color. This plan of ndopting ono color la n Fronoh plan nnd has much to recom mend It. Wo nil sponk of tho nent nnd pleasing effect n Frenchwoman nlwnys has on tho bcholdor, nnd sho looks ns if hor outfit, being nil In ono color, though por hnpa n dozen different shades, must cost n small fortune Tho renllty hi just this: Tho lady has choson for herself ono color, gonorally a neutral one, nnd everything Bho purchases nftcr thnt has n direct refer enco to tho color. Elthor It will match or bo In darker or lighter shado, or it will bo something thnt ia Intended to go with that special color.
