the civil power of the Executive Is not enough
The Populist feels that he cannot carry oit his
policy to a satisfactory conclusion with these
alone. He must have soldiers and sailors M

1--WE want the Army and we want the Navy.
Why do they want them? There may he two
reasons One is that they themselves perceive
that their wild theories are revolutionary. ana
that they can only he forced on n free people
under the protection of military power Per
haps they know as well as others that Social
ism Is only another form of despOtism. and
that they cannot override the rights OF prop
erty. limit the activities of individuals ana
make human beings machines except with the
mid OF arms The other and more immediate
reason Is that the preachers Of social revol'l-
ton are uneasy at the thought that force
exists ready to maintain the Constitution and
enforce the laws until they are changed by
regular process Of government. They want
liberty TO riot without fear of restraint. They
object to having life and property protected
when those lives and that property happen to
belong to persons who are not liked by some OF
their friends They have declared in the Chi

TIE CHIEF ISSUE.

"The tariff" said the sound-money Demo
Gratis n few weeks ago, lis not the issue. Inc
"cnrrency IL the chief, II not the only impor-
liant. issue in this years campaign" We need
not argue now whether they were right or
wrong Let us take them at their word.
Some Of these same gentlemen only Few,
II is TO be hoped-are now declaring they can
not support Mckinley against Bryan. because
they do not like his tariff views lie Is all
right on the currency question, and stands on
the soundcst of financial platforms. But he II
q Protecionst, and they are Free Traders. and
so they cannot vote for him. Rather than do
so they will not vote at all. even though they
thus make Bryans success possible.
What logic is there in that? The tariff, they
say, IS not the issue. Yet they will let it con
troll their votes The tariff is not the issue; yet
they make it the supreme issue when they
subordinate all other issues 10 it. The cur
rency they say, is the real issue: yet they sacrl-
flee it to the tariff, which, they say. Is not the
issue at all.
1t is not conceivable that any considerable
number Of honest. patriotic, sound money Dem
ocrats will take so selfcontradictory and I'M
patriotic a view of the case If the currency
Is the supreme issue, as they contend. they Will
vote right on it, regardless Of what they reckon
the minor issues OF the campaign.

ARBITRATION WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

The announcement that a general arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and this country
has been drafted and will be submitted to the
Senate for ratification Is cordially to be well
coined. The principle Of arbitration, Of inter-
national as well as other disputes, Is com
mendable one. 1t has for many years been ad-
vocated and whenever possible practised, by
the United States. Nor Is 1t to be forgotten
that It's first great and successful application,
which set a precedent for all the world and for
all time, was effected by Republican statesmen.
under a Republican Administration. Their"
need be no fear, therefore, that the treaty now
under consideration will be received In othe"
than generous sympathetic and patriotic
spirit, or that it will be judged otherwise than
on its merits and according to its probable eff
feet upon American interests.
1t is necessary however to distinguish clear
" between a special arbitration treaty con
cluded for the purpose of settling some one
dispute aud general and lasting treaty. pro
viding for the arbitration of ali disputes that
may in future occur. The latter would effect
something more than mere arbitration. 1t
would make a sort of judicial alliance or union
between the two countries by establishing a
fixed tribunal. which should in the weightiest
ment Of either That would be a radical change
of constitutional principle and practice, and it
Is an interesting question TO what extent It
would involve this country in those foreign
acknowledgements which have hitherto been sedu-
lousy avoided. There are many supposable
and not improbable cases which no nation has
ever regarded as tit subjects for arbitration
and with reference to which it has always been
contended that no nation could in honor SUI
render its sovereignty. But it is certainly prac
ticable and desirable to establish by treaty a
permanent international code Of arbitration
and TO create permanent judicial machinery
for the effective application thereof. That, il
is to be hoped, this treaty will do.
The conduct of the present Administration
in dealing with foreign affairs has not been
such as to commend unQuestiOningly 10 the
Nation any treaty it may negotiate. Such a
document must and will receive the most care
full scrutiny of that branch Of Congress TO
which the Constitution wisely requires it TO
be submitted for ratification. 1t may be that
the Senate will deem some notifications Of
this present treaty necessary If so, it IS TO
be hoped they can and will be made, and that
with the least possible delay an equitable and
honorable means may thus be provided for the
settlement Of the controversies now pending.
and Of such future controversies as may be
deemed by the parties to them fit subjects for
arbitration

posed to all devices and schemes for the debase-

The people Of New-Jersey, both Republicans
and Democrats, are going to stand by that
plank and vote for the man who represents
it's spirit though his name is Mckinley and he

I'VE WANT THE ARMY"

A mass meeting was held in Washington the
other night TO elect delegates to the Populist
National Convention, 1t was Bryan and
Sewall meeting way through. Representative
Populists and Socialists were present who
manifested great enthusiasm at the idea or
indorsing the Chicago ticket. Carl Browne, re-
joicing in the assurance Of the candidate that
when he should be President the CoXey Army
might tramp down the grass and camp In the
parks Of Washington, made much-appreciated
speech. Mr.. COwden, who proclaimed himself
a Socialist, bore testimony to Mr. Bryan's ac-
ceptability to his friends. Colonel Redstone
proved that Mr.. Sewall was an Old-line Green
backer who was entitled to the support OF
believers in absolute fiat money as we'll as
those who wanted to compromise on a dollar
worth fifty cents Mr.. Turner reviewed the
progress and prospects Of the POpulist move
ment. and said: 1--WE want the White House,
1--WE want the Army and we want the Navy,
land until we get them we cannot consider our
success complete"
I'VE want the Army and we want the Navy"
That Is a significant statement, frank ac-
acknowledgement Of aims. a clear revelation Of
the methods to be employed for the triumph
Of Populism. Over n century ago the fathers
Of the Republic ordained Constitution for our
government and endowed 1t with the power
Of self preservation. From that day to this
party has contended against party, but the Con
stitution has been over ALL and the Army and
Navy have been at the service OF no party.
Even when Civil War broke out the bipartisan
tradition so far prevailed that the officers who
Joined the rebellion gave up their commands
and individually, as private citizens, took up
their new service. Now. for the first time in
the history Of the country, the control Of the
military forces is sought by political party
for the purpose of effecting changes In the Gov
eminent. If these forces ever do become fac
tor in party strife, that will be the beginning
of the end OF the American Union. When Rome
was on the decline the Roman army became
the Roman State. The Emperor had power
while the soldiers were with him. and the sue
cesslon to the throne was through being pop
ular commander Of large body Of troops. For
several centuries the Sultan was the absolute
ruler Of the Turk, but the January was the
ruler Of the Sultan. Several times within a
hundred years France has shown what 1t meant
10 have an army as political resource Now
the Populsts say they must have the Army TO
nut In force their ideas. Legislation Is not
enough; the control of the courts Is not enough;

they cannot accept its wide departure from
