The best speech ever delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the Houso of Cern- mos-at least so many people say- -in this issue.

The Unitedi Statü S lias nut wI i ucc guueby ot shameful duplicity, but is daily slaug'h- tering- a people whose only offenco is theîr desire to ho a free and indepen- dent nation. Americans wore justly indignant at the wanton massacre of Armenians by the cruel Turks andt at the slow torturing deaths inflicted upon the reconcont rados in Cuba by Weylcr; and if some prophet had said the United States government would soon bo guilty of like conduct, the roply would doubt- less have been like that of Hazael te Elisha, "Is thy servant a dog, that he s houl d d o this great thing?ý" And yet, CrERING THE UNITED STATES.- Endless discontent is cropping up iu the United States over the Philippine question. The tremendous blunder'our neig-hbors made is every day now bc- ceming more apparent. The plea that the United States Goverument lias possession of the Philippines "1not by cheice but by the fortune of war" is not strictly accurato, as Mr, J. R biHot of St. Louis, Mo., points out in a recont letter to The Outlook. lie says ]Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila- it was then determined to taxe Manila; similarly, Cervera's fleet was dostroyed at Santiago-then it was dotermined to take Santiag-o. Neither was taken by accident or chance, but because the Amerieans chose to proceed against them by force. The Filipinos are foeced to dofend their native land against. the oncroachments of a foreign power that is trying to force them into the condition of a subject race. They sent representatîves to plead their cause before the Paris Commissioners and were dcnied the privilege; other ropro- sentativos were sent te Washington and they were treated in the same im- perialistic manner. Tho United States is challeng-ed to point te a single effort te satisfy the Filipinos of their peace- able intentions toward them s 'ince the surrender of the Spanish forces at Manila. Previous te that the Govorn- ment did make, through hier reproson- tativos, very fair promises te the Fuli- pinos, wbich the government bas shamue- fully atnd disgracefully violated. An American officor says - "Consul- General Pratt of Singapore, Consul Wildman of Hong-Kong and Consul Williams of Manila gave Aguinaldo (the Filipino leader) te understand that the Filipinos would become indepen- dent, that the peace commission would provide for their independence, if ho would lead the natives against the Spanish. Such was the understanding on the strength of which he organized his people. H1e received arms and ammunition from the United States for that purpose, -and it is well knewn-that the Spanish forces wero locked in on the land side by Agninaldo's mon, and thus forced te surrender te t-ho Amien- cans." Well mav thîs officer say "Those people have been treated outrageously."
