SI.OO A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.
Friday, May 19, 1809.
In addition to the $ 20,000,000 given to
Spain to buy her insurrection in the
Philippines, there will be many more of
foreign nations for property destroyed by
our ships bombarding the Filipino towns,
besides the cost of the war. McKinley is
piling up a pretty large bill for the Amer
ican people to foot.
The fact is now generally known that
the volunteers in the Philippines are re
tained against their will and contrary to
their legal rights, in a war on the people
of those islands, which is both indefensi
ble and a usurpation of power by the
President. Appearances are growing very
black against McKinley. The volunteers
were entitled to their discharge agreeable
to terms of enlistment when the Spanish
war ended. They are being retained
against their will and wishes because the
war is so unpopular at home that men
will not enlist to go to the Philippines.
If the volunteers are discharged the con
quest will have to be abandoned, and
McKinley will stand disgraced before the
world.
Left Off the Ticket.
By one of those typographical ommis
sions which constantly are on the lurk to
vex the printer and disgust his patrons,
the name of the candidate for Treasurer,
Wm. T. Fryer, was omitted in setting up
the list of candidates and the mistake was
not discovered till after the paper was
issued. Mr. Fryer’s name will be on the
ballot nevertheless, aud if it is in evidence
as prominently as two years ago will lead
the ticket, realizing the truth of the text,
the last shall be first.
Jefferson and Jackson.
The Cecil Star in aunonncing the ticket
nominated last week, with the ordinary
perfunctory flourish on such occasions
among party papers, works in the
following :
“Cecil, eager for the fray and anxious
to do her part in bringing the State in
line again with the enduring principles
taught by Jefferson aud practiced by
Jackson,” etc.
What evidence has the party given in
several years that it is anxious to get “in
line again with the enduring principles
taught by Jefferson and practiced by
Jackson ? ” No proclamation of that fact
has ever been published since its apostasy
to the goldbug heresy in Gonnau’s State
convention of 1896. Don’t credit the
party in Maryland with principles it holds
in contempt by silence.
Too nany Bosses.
There is grave trouble among the Cecil
democracy. The convention which nom
inated the ticket last week was called out
of time and out of order, so says Murray
Vandiver, chairman of the State Central
Committee, S. C. Rowland of the County
Committee and John S. Wirt, who are all
out with letters of protest and denuncia
tion of the act of Johu Banks aud A. L.
Crothers, who seem to be blamed for the
unwarranted proceedings. The conven
tion appointed delegates to the State con
vention, which was out of order, aud
instructed them to support Mr. Wirt for
Governor, which Mr. Wirt considers more
as an insult than an act of friendship,
and resents the same in the following
vigorous language which he publishes in
the Cecil Democrat :
The letters of Hon. Murray Vandiver, Chairman
of lhe Democratic State Central Committee, and
of Mr. S. C. Rowland, explain themselves. I am
in entire accord with Mr. Vandiver in the posi
tion that the delegates to the State Convention
elected on Tuesday were improperly selected,
and have no right to be admitted to the Shite
Convention.
It is also proper for me to state that 1 have
expressed that opinion to every one who cared to
know my views. I made but one request to the
gentlemen who were running the Convention,
and that was that no delegates to the State Con
vention should he named, but that the selection
of such delegates should be left to u subsequent
convention, whose right to do so would be
unquestioned by anyone.
I neither asked nor desired that the Convention
should endorse me ns u candidate for Governor.
It was not done with my knowledge orupproval,
and I had no voice whatever in the matter or in
the selection of delegates. From the beginning
to the end of the matter there was not the
slightest pretence of treating me with the scantiest
measure of personal respect.
I have never decided that I will be a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Governor.
Certainly every reasonable man must concede me
the right to decide that question. Should I de
cide to be a candidate, us a sincere party man 1
am entitled from the Democrats of the county to
have a delegation selected in an orderly and reg
ular way. 1 think also that lam entitled tosome
decent consideration in the selection of delegates.
Undoubtedly the Convention on Tuesday wus
deceived. It is, therefore, in a spirit of entire
courtesy to the members of that Convention that
I regret to state that under no circumstances
would I accept the support of the present delega
tion to the State Convention for Governor or any
other political position. A proper spirit of self
respect imperatively requires me to do this, and
to say without any qualification that this decision
upon my purt is limit and irrevocable.
Should I decide to be u candieate a public
announcement of that fact will be made and the
question be submitted to the Democratic voters of
Cecil in the usual and regular manner.
John 8. Wirt.
The bosses, Banks and Crothers, have
evidently “put their foot in it,” in their
impatience to run the county and are
facing trouble that may dethrone them.
They have heretofore acted on the theory
that any trickery resorted to by the ma
chine in the primaries and convention
which created dissatisfaction would blow
over by the time of election, if the con
vention was held early, but the preseut
was so uuskillfully managed that it is
likely not to be so easily smoothed over,
and may endanger the success of the
ticket. The people are growing very
restive under the system of bossism that
lias so long prevailed in Cecil and show
signs of some vigorous kicking this fall.
Backbone of Imperialism Broken.
From the National Watchman.
Public opinion is omnipotent in a re
public. Until after popular government
is displaced by militarism, no adminis
tration can stand against an enlightened
public opinion. At last President McKin
ley realizes that he has blundered and is
seeking to cover his retreat in such a
way that the people generally may not
discover it. Surrounded by a small coterie
of moneyed men, whose instincts are
those of the pirate, but whose success,
both financially and politically, has been
phenomenal, he mistook the cravings of
their depraved natures for the sentiments
of the American people, and eutered upon
a course of criminal aggression, disre
' garding our national traditions and tramp
ling under foot our national ideals. Public
opinion condemns his policy of conquest
1 and imperialism as treason against the
genius and spirit of our institutions.
The censored dispatches which reached
us from Manila last week announced that
Aguinaldo had sued for peace, but an
analysis of the situation based upon all
reliable information that is obtainable
leads to the conclusion that McKinley
rather than Aguinaldo, is the author of
the peace proposal.
The first dispatches that were received
stated that General Otis rejected any pro
posal for peace until after an uncondi
tional surrender was made by the Phil-
I ippine forces to the forces of the United
States and the sovereignty of the United
States acknowledged by the Philippine
1 leaders. The later dispatches inform us
that negotiations are under way, aud that
| an agreement upon terms of peace may
be reached within two or three days. This
last statement that negotiations are in
progress in no wise comports with the
bragging, bullyiug announcement that
was first heralded throughout the laud
. that an unconditional surrender was all
-, that would be considered by the American
authorities.
>
It must be constantly borne in mind
-, that all the avenues of information and
s communication between the American
s people and the Philippines are under a
e strict military censorship; that Otis’ rules
e in Manila with as much absolutism as the
1 rule of the Czar in Russia, and that the
1 American people are powerless to acquire
any information in regard to the situation
in the Philippines except such as is doled
out to them by the government censor at
t Manila and the President of the United
v States at home
s It must also be borne in mind that pub
e lie opinion in the United States has
changed with great rapidity during the
s past two months until there is no longer
1 any doubt that an overwhelming majority
s of the American people are opposed to a
■' colonial or imperial policy by this govern
meut in the Philippines or elsewhere.
i We must also remember that the scandals
g growing ont of the administration of the
, War Department, particularly that which
( referred to the embalmed and worthless
. canned beef that was supplied to the army
!, as rations, together with the attempt of
? the administration to whitewash the beef
s trust and the Commissary Department,
aud not only prosecute the general com
manding the army for making complaints,
but to discredit the testimony of our offi
j cers and soldiers, has gone a long way to
make it difficult for the government to
{ secure volunteers, particularly to go to
Manila to wage a war of conquest. The
j attempt of the administration to snub the
p general commanding the army aud at the
I same time confer undeserved honor upon
Shafter, together with its efforts to de
prive Admiral Schley of his just merits
„ and confer undeserved honors upon
Sampson, has weakened the power of the
administration and dampened the ardor
j of citizens who would otherwise eagerly
seek to serve their country in either army
or navy.
The mistake that the American nation
’ was ready to abandon its ideals and enter
’ upon a policy of conquest and imperialism
has at last dawned upon the politician in
the White House, who now realizes that
j his rash course is liable to cost him a
[i renomination by his party in 1900. The
■ payment of twenty millions of dollars to
1 Spain for the privilege oi entering upon a
J war of conquest and subjugation, abhor
rent to all true Americans, was not a
e blunder but a crime. The President ilis
“ covered that the American Congress dared
not defy the people and furnish him with
. a permanent army. He made the dis
-1 covery that the opposition to his course
' in the Philippines made it hazardous for
L him to call for volunteers for that purpose
, which Congress provided for. Hence the
. only course left for him was to hold un
• lawfully the volunteers that entered the
, war against Spain, rush them to the front
3 and flood the country with accounts of
t great victories and stimulate national
pride at the same time by presentiug vivid
pictures of the heroism and gallantry of
, our soldiers. This being done, the next
- move is to make it appear that Aguinaldo
and his forces are discouraged and are
’ suing for peace as a means of extricating
. himself from a difficult and unpopular
position.
Why should Aguinaldo sue for peace ?
It is not a month since General Lawton
, proclaimed that the sovereignty of the
United States could not be established in
the Philippine Islands with less than one
hundred thousand soldiers. P'oreign mil
itary experts pronounced the attempt to
subdue the Philippines with the handful
of soldiers we have on the Island of Luzon
. as ludicrous and impossible. It was not
necessary to rush our volunteers whose
terms had expired and who were entiiled :
to be returned to their homes into the
jungle under a torrid suu unnecessarily
sacrificing life and health because there j
was no question of the ability of General
Otis to hold the city of Manila indefinitely |
against the Filipinos with the aid of ]
Dewey’s guns in the harbor. Congress ]
had provided for a sufficient number of
soldiers for a period of two years running ,
beyond Mr. McKinley’s term of office. 1
Then why this rashness and haste so sud
denly followed by the stalling announce
ment that the Filipinos are whipped and
are suing for peace? In view of all the 1
information obtainable there is every -j
■mm ikiLTxir.A.jsrn jours.iut-a-L: peidat, 3vta.t 19,1899.
reason to believe that the overtures for
peace originated with the Americans
rather than with the Filipinos. That the
Filipinos are able to permanently resist
the small army we have on the Island of
Luzon is the only conclusion warranted
by expert opinion.
Great is the power of a censored press
in the hands of a politician. It is plain
that a call for troops would have been
issued immediately after the passage of
the army bill if it was believed to be a
popular move that would meet with a
ready response. Who can doubt that
fresh troops would have been enlisted
and forwarded to the Philippines and onr -
brave soldiers whose terms had expired
relieved from duty and returned to their
homes if such a move favored McKinley
politics? Who believes that any Presi
dent would hold an army against the wish
of the soldiers and their relatives and
friends and rush them into action sacri
ficing life and health, besides making the
United States liable for heavy damages
for this unlawful procedure, except an
exigency existed.
An exigenc) - did exist, but theexigency
existed in the United States It was a
political exigency. Public opinion con
demned an unrighteous and unnecessary
war of conquest, and President McKinley
found himself driven to the position
where he must make a virtue of necessity,
acknowledge that the backbone of im
perialism is broken and treat with the
Filipinos for an independent local gov
ernment.
The American people will welcome the
close of hostilities and rejoice that the
w icked schemes of the imperialists have
failed. We confidently look forward to a
complete backdown by the administration
to be followed by an attempt to seek
praise for itself aud make political cap
ital for the Republican party through
claiming that they have accomplished all
that they ever contemplated doing; that
it was their purpose from the beginning
to accord the Filipinos the largest possible
measure of self-government.
The public, however, cannot be deceiv
ed in regard to what their real purposes
were. The failure to secure a permanent
army is the cause of their failure. The
snapper on the imperialism whip is a
standing army. The government must
ever remain amenable to public opinion
until afttr a large permanent army be
comes a national fixture. The people
must not be lulled into repose or inaction
by any false sense of security because of
the imperialistic progiam. The trusts
and combines are as much determined as
ever that a large military power shall be
powerless to defeat the purposes of those
who form what Cleveland termed the
“ communism of pelf.”
Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the hard service they endured during
the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, ofßoss
ville, York county, Penn., who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front, is now
frequently troubled with rheumatism. “I
had a severe attack lately,” he says, “and
procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. It did so much good that I would
like to know what you would charge me
for one dozen bottles.” Mr. Andeison
wanted it both for his own use and to
supply it to his friends and neighbors, as
every family should have a bottle of it in
their home, not only for rheumatism, but
lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises
and burns, for which it is unequalled.
