SATURDAY, May 6, 1899.
A MASS meeting was held at
Central Music hall, Chicago, on
the afternoon of April 30 to protest
against the imperialistic policy
of this government toward
the Philipinos. The following
resolutions, every utterance of
which is full of truth and every
sentence glows with the fire of
patriotism and sparkles with 'the
spirit of liberty, Werer adopted:
The frank exs:iodn of honest
convictions upon great questions
of public policy is vital to the
health and even to the, preservation
of representative, government.
Such expression is therefore
the sacred duty of American
citizens.
We hold that the policy kuowh
as imperialism is hostile to liberty
and tends to militarism, an evil
from which it has been our glory
to be free. We regret that it is
now necessary. in the land of
Washington and Lincoln to reaffirm
that all men, of whatever
race or color, are entitled to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happis.--ness.
We still, maintain that
governments derive their just
~--;: powers from the consent of the
governed. We insist that the
forcible subjugation of a purchased
people is "criminal aggression,"
and open disloyalty to the
distinctive principles of our government.We honor our soldiers and
sailors in the Philippine islands
for their unquestioned; bravery;
and we mourn with the whole nation
for the American lives that
have been sacrificed. Their duty
was obedience to orders; our duty
Ie diligent inquiry and fearless
protest. We hold that our own
government created the conditions
which have brought about
the sacrifice.
We earnestly condemn the policy
of the present national administration
in the Philippines.
It is the spirit of '76 that our
government is striving to extinguish
in those islands; we denounce
the attempt and demand
its abandonment. We deplore
and resent the slaughter of the
Filipinos as a needless horror, a
deep dishonor to our nation.
We protest against the extension
of American empire by Spanish
method's, and demand the
immediate cessation of the war
that is against liberty, begun by
Spain and continued by us. We
believe that a foolish pride is the
chief obstacle to a speedy settlement
(of all difficulties. As Mr.
(Gladstone said to England, "we
are strong enough to cast aside
all consideration of false shame,
walking in the plain and simple
ways of right and justice." Out
,government should at once announce
to the Filipinos its parpose
to grant them, the independence
for which'they have so long
, fought, and should seek, by diplomatic
methods to secure this
independence by the common
consent of nations. It is today
as true of the Filipinos as it was
a yeai a go ' of 'the C'Ctttbans that
they "are and of right oug(ft to
e^ qe ^eand ipdegpndet."* DEWEY day, May 1st, was celebrated
generally by Americans.,,,
JUDGE BLISS of Sherman has
rendered an opinion declaring the
new school trustee law unconstitutional.
The law provided that
where cities operating under
special charters, elected four trustees,
making the mayor ex-officio
member of and president of' the
board, they should abandon the
old board and the county judge
must order an election, at which
election six trustees must be
elected for the board, and the
mayor removed as a member of
the, board.The Taylor Courier says:
"Members of the Texas legislature
are allowed 40 cents a mile
in the way of mileage. In the
way of mileage Smith county
members draw something' over
$100 a session. Where :members
live a further distance they draw
a larger sum; and when all of
them, which is the case now, ride
on free passes this 40 cents a
mile is a clear pick up."
THE WHEEL suggests that if
they need more pay, raise their
salary and stop such foolishness.
C. H. Alexander of Dallas has
been arrested and placed under a
$25,000 bond charged with being
accessory to the killing of Major
I. G, Randall.
Constable Warden was in Ferris
Monday. lIe says our sister city
is enjoying a progressive boom.
One of the Lancaster banks is
moving to Ferris, and other improvements
are going on. Ferris
naturally has a lot of wide awake
and progressive people, who encourage
every enterprise intended
to benefit and build up their
town. He says there was more
business going on in Ferris Monday,
than he has seen there in
a long time. How much we
would like to see Palmer take
such a start.-Paliner Rustler.
The only admendment we have
to offer to the above is that there
is nothing of the Lancaster bank
moving to Ferris yet, and here we
will repeat that no town holds
out better inducements for a
bank.
THE insurgent leaders in the
Philippines are treating with Gen.
Otis for peace and the officials of
this government are of the opinion
that the "scrapp" will soon
be declared off.
