Is doubtless difference ot opinion be
tween Republican and Democrats, "and
even among th aeveral member of each
party,. aa;to what ultlmat disposition
sball .be. made' of the islands, There la,
we feel justified in saying, n difference
among th whols American people in
their Insistence that the Filipino shall
b Justly treated In the meantime.' ' f
No political party oould stand for
moment befor the people advocating
cruelty and barbarity In the Islands. The
BepubUcan, party Is not guilty of that
ox treratty. But , there are cruelties and
bavbaritle there, committed by Ameri
can soldier by eommand of their ofd
cer. The vidence before the Benate
committee wa ao strong that th secre
tary of war baa cabled an order for the
oourt martial ot th accused officers. It
would not be Just to bold the Republican .
party responatbt for cruitle perpe
trated Without its sanction. But It i en
tirely Just to bold it responsible for not
knowing and prohibiting such trahine
tions a th water cure, for lnatahe.
when It had the means both of knowl
edge and prevention.
. For more than a- year these cruelties'
have been publicly charged and hay
been as constantly denied byth Repub

Democratlo minority forced a senatorial
Investigation and produoed witnesses
who' war themselves participant In the
