From the ~ Louis Post Dispatch.
The Post Dispatch took occasion
during the recent campaign, 10 say that
q part of Che Mckinley programme is
the annexation Of Hawii
Developments since the election have
confirmed this view. Senator Lodge
who speaks for ths New England
syndicate which Ia loaded up with
Hawaiian bonds at so cents on the
dollar declares that the admission of
Hawaii is an event of the near future.
Senator Hoar, who represents the
missionary element and the salvation
Of the Kanakas through the appropri O.
alton of their lands and other property
echoes the sentiment
But this Is not sectional movement.
New England finds an echo on the
Pacific eoast where Clans Spreckels in
sists that his Hawaiian sugar plantations
shall be brought within reach Of the
sugar bounty which is sure 10 be part
Of the new Mckinley tariff law,
With the business interests and
the moral phase thus combined in
behalf Of the Spreckels sugar tit the
Plymouth Rock Of Ages and the
missionary children, what shall stand
against the demand for more bonds.

A Minority Party.

From the St Louis Republic.
Replying to the New York Tribune Z
sweeping charge that the Democratic
party has always been corrupt and is
now degenerate, the local Republican
organ points to the conduct of the bolt
ing Democrats in the recent election as
q proof of the self sacrificing patriotism
Of many Democrats and makes a
startling statement with regard TO their
number.
ut Ia safe 10 assume, IT says,
that at least 900 900 Democrats
voted for Mckinley. Over 1870 900 more
Democrats helped Mckinley Indirectly
by voting for Palmer instead of
Bryan
The latest estimates place Mckinley 5
plurality in the neighborhood Of COO,
900. Subtractin9 900 600 from the
Republican vote, and adding it 10 the
Democratic vote, would wipe out this
plurality and place plurality of 400,
600 TO the credit Of the Democrats.
Adding the Palmer vote to this number
shows that the total Democratic
plurality, IL all the Democrats had
voted together, would have been over
I 800, 900.
This enormous total according to the
estimate Of the local Republican organ
represents the anti Republican plurality
in this country. The Republican party
therefore. while II has gained power on
one issue which split the Democracy Is
in hopeless minority Of the popular
vote and would be beaten out Of its boots
on platform representing Republican
policies alone
The figures should be carefully and
prayerfuilY studied by the statesmen
who are trying to lead the Republicans
into q riot Of protection. II will give
them an idea Of where the party will be
when the riot IL over.

Headlight > plan Of using the state con
victs would be Of greater benefit TO the
people Of the entire state than any other
way Of working them. It would

PARTY CANNOT PERISH.

Representative MeMillin, of Tonnes

the future OF the Democratic party.
= have no fear a. "a chat, said
Mr. MeMIllin It can never perish
while the people love our institutions
and il adherss To the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson.
- Equal aud exact Justice TO all men,
Of whatever state or persuasion political
or religious Vas laid down by Jefer
son N 1901 az the essence Of Democracy,
and will continue 20 be.
ProeIaiming this principle, Bryan
WAS duly and regularly nominated at
Chicago He carried half the states on
this principle, notwithstanding the fact
that most Of the banks and corporations
and all the trusts opposed him, and the
Democratic administration IN power
opposed him He polled more votes
than Mr.. Cleveland got either time he
was elected.
II am patriotic enough TO wish pros
pertfy to the American people under
Mr Mckinley administration or the
administration Of any and every presi-
dent they may inaugurafe, but / am
not foolish enough to believe that
reduction Of currency will cure hard
times or that increase Of taxes will IN
crease wealth
Mr Mckinley advocated the single
gold standard He stood for mere
taxes and less currency, while Mr..
Bryan stood for less taxes and more
currency Increase Of taxes with
decrease of currency cannot and will
not produce prosperity under Mr.. Nc
Kinley or any one else. Increasing
population and business with a
stationary currency cannot restore
prosperity.
COMPARED WITH THE DEFEAT OF
JEFFERSON.
The Democratic party will win in
1900, notwithstanding the defeat Of
Bryan in 1895, inst as Jefferson won IN
1900, notwithstanding the defeat of
Jefferson IN l198 You ask If the men
who nominated Palmer and Backner
will control? I know of no instance IN
history where about one hundred
thousand, who separated from their
party, came back and took control OF
the six or seven millions from whom
they separated Do your Don t give
yourself any uneasiness about the future
of Democracy. Many parties in che
past have tried to attend the funeral of
the Democratic party. But in the
round up the Democratic party has
