STILL WESTWARD.

Years ago, when the late Secretary Sew
ard negotiated with Russia for the purchase
of Alaska, the scheme was not popular.
1t was with difficulty that the Senate could
be induced to ratify the treaty. The press
hostile to the purchase ridiculed the idea
| of purchasing a country of ice and worth
less natives. The shrewdness of Russia
was applauded for desiring to get rid of a
barren and worthless country. Neither Mr..
Seward nor anybody else knew of the real
value Of Alaska That sagacious and pro-
phetic statesman cared very little about the
value of Alaska. Thirty years ago he fore
saw what has since begun to take place in
the countries to be reached by the Pacific
| ocean. He could see then what has since
taken place in Japan. Until forty years
ago that people kept itself aloof from the
civilization of the world. Finally 1t was
forced upon that people Judging of it's
effect upon the Japanese as none but a
great statesman could, Mr.. Seward foresaw
that when Japan felt the impulse of pro-
gressive civilization it would awaken from
it's lethargy and become one of the COM
petitors in the race. Few knew how far
Japan had come into touch with modern
civilization until it's war with China. Then
it was discovered that Japan was a modern
people, and because it was such could corr
quer China with nearly ten times its
population. To-day Japan must be counted
with the modern and progressive nations.
1t proposes to take part in the worlds pro-
duction and commerce. It's statesmen have
put it upon the gold basis because a silver
standard is the badge of national inferiOri-
ty 1t is establishing a navy, and the init
nations of what may be it's purpose re-
garding Hawaii may be accepted as evil
dence that Japan proposes to be one of
the controlling forces in the world of to-
day. There are indications that the hither-
to inert mass of China is Weakening. Rail-
roads are building, the il terror is being
opened, the prime minister has been abroad
to note the worlds civilization to the end
that it may be gradually introduced into
China.
This awakening of the vast populations
of Japan and China to the aggressive i'm
pulse of the newer civilization was what
Secretary Seward saw years ago. He saw
that in the years to come the awakening
of these countries would fill the Pacific with
a commerce greater than that of the Attain
tic, and that it was important that the
United States should secure every foothold
on the Western coast of this continent that
was within it's power to obtain. This led
him to purchase the ice and mountains of
Alaska, and if he were alive to-day he
would urge with all his eloquence the ac-
QUESTION of Hawaii. 1t is in the track of
the great Pacific commerce of the future

TIRED OF PRESIDENT ANDREWS.
Trustees of Brown University Object
to His Frce-Trade Views.
Providence Special Dispatch.

There IS possibility that President E.
q. Andrews, of Brown University, will
soon resign his office. Dr. Andrews has
been travelling abroad for a year. on ac-
count of ill-health. and he is expected to
return directly after the celebration of
the Queens jubilee.
At yesterdays meeting of the trustees
and fellows of Brown University. Congress
man Joseph H. Walker of Worcester, at
free-silver teachings claiming that his
economic views were contrary to the views
sustained by nearly every man in Rhode
Island, and urging that the fellows should
see to 1T that in his outside work Pres-
dent Andrews should not misrepresent the
university. This opinion was sustained by
Chancellor William Goddard, the multi
millionaire manufacturer, and a commit
tee. consisting of Chancellor Goddard ex-
Chief Justice Durfee and Francis Way
land, was appointed to confer with Presi-
dent Andrews and notify him that it was
the wish of the officers of the university
that he refrain from teaching the objec
t1onable doctrines. The vote appointing
this committee was unanimous.
Some time ago President Andrews under
~. 1t was his desire to secure at least
$4,000, and he made personal appeals TO
Ine wealthy manufacturers to contribute:
Under ordinary circumstances he would
have succeeded; but his efforts were
crowned with nothing save disappointment.
such men as the Knights not only declined
TO give, but scored President Andrews for
having the presumption to teach free trade
ana free silver, and then apply to manu-
IdcturefS VINO depended upon stable cur
rency and protection, as they hold, to
keep their mills running. At that time the
feeling inimical to President Andrews ran
high, and everybody was outspoken-so
much so that when last winter the init
nation was dropped that President An
drews might not return to his post of duty,
those who were cOgniZant of the strong
undercurrent against him expressed them
selves as not a all surprised.
To-day they say that this action of the
board of fellows is but the contamination
of the plan limited at early in the year
There is a rumor here that the trustees
feel disappointed because John d. Rookie
Teller whose son was graduated here this
year, did not make a generous gift to the
university, and that the principal reason
why the gift was withheld was Mr.. Rookie
fellers opposition to President Andrews's
silver teachings However this may be, it
is a known fact that rich alumnus a few
ceiling a bequest to the university because
it is allowed to remain under the charge of
a man holding and expressing such views
as President Andrews does.

A TEMPERATE CONGRESS.
Few Men in Either House Addicted
to Habits of Drink.

Washington Letter in Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
This is probably the most temperate Con-
greSs in the matter of drinking that has
ever participated in the legislation of this
country. 1t is a generally accepted fact
that the statesmen of earlier generations
were freer in taking their toddy and toddy
taking was more general among them than
among those OF later days. But during the
past fifteen or twenty years there has al
ways been in Congress a considerable num-
Der of Well-knoWn men whose drinking
habits were more or less a matter OF COM
mon knowledge. Some of the most famous
legislators in the past have appeared. upon
the floor of Congress at one time and an
other decidedly under the influence of
liquor. 1t is not necessary to mention
names, but Congress after Congress has
had in its most honored membership a
large number of men of Incorporate drink
ing habits. at times they nave appeared on
the floor, and some have been seen help
leSSly under the influence of liquor in COM
mittee rooms or in the corridors of the
Capitol.
During this session there is not one eX-
ample of this sort of intemperance that
a man in this Congress to whom any one
would refer as an inebriate There are
men in both houses who drink something
probably every day of their lives, but / can
count over not more than four or five men
in the Senate who drink a great deal, and
there is probably no greater number in the
House None of these are men who get
drunk. They are men who drink enough
all the while to keep their faces red and
to render them less alert than they would
otherwise be at times, but not enough to
attract attention to themselves as men of
Incorporate habits. In the recent past there
have been assembled together in the Sen
ate a score of men whose names were IA
nous and whose drinking habits at times
led them to excuses. | do not believe
there is one such in the present Senate, and
l know that there are some who formerly
drank quite heavily who now do not drink
at all. Two or three there are who drink
a great quantity of whisky every day but
never vary much in their habits and are
so constituted as not to show it. There is
one senator who drinks probably more,
year in and year out, than is drunk by any
two of his colleagues, and yet there are
few persons not among his intimatcs to
whom it would occur that he is drinking
man at all. For sobriety this Congress has
never had an equal.

ton whether they should be appointed or
elected. Some of the States still adhere to
the early practice of making the supreme
JuSges appointive by the Governor, and it
is claimed that the courts in these States
have maintained a higher standard than
those where the judges are elective. Con-
sidering the haphazard manner in which
nominations for judges are often made, the
wonder is that the judiciary should main-
tain as high an average standing as it does.
Most lawyers will admit that better plan
could and ought to be devised, but revolu-
tions of this kind are not apt TO go back
ward, and probably there is no case on rec
ord of the elective system once tried, be-
ing discarded for the appointive system.
But even under the appointive system, or
where judges are elected by joint ballot Of
the two houses of the Legislature, the
courts partake of the political character of
the appointive power, especially where it
continues unchanged for a considerable
length of time Some way should be found
to place the courts above the suspicion of
partisan bias

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
MONETARY REFORM.

In politics, as in war, the enemy some
times compels the adoption of particular
plan of campaign or line of battle. AS in
war some movements must be promptly
met and resisted regardless of conse-
quences, so in politics some issues must be
joined when offered and fought out to
finish. AS the situation looks now, as soon
as the tariff question is out of the way it
will become the immediate and paramount
duty of the Republican party to take up
the money question. 1t cannot do other
wise without an exhibition of cOwardice
such as no political party can afford to
make, and, in view of the traditions of the
party and it's pledges to the people, it ought
not to wish to do otherwise. The enemy
has made this line of battle inevitable. All
remember with what tremendous energy
the silver question was forced to the front
in the last campaign. The history of the
country affords no parallel to the sudden
ness with which the money question came
to the front as the paramount question of
the times or to the rapidity with which it
overshadowed all other issues. The action
of the Democratic party was like a des-
perate charge by a powerful enemy, hope
full of finding weak resistance and deter
mined at all hazards to capture a strong
hold. They did not succeed, but they made
a strong fight. They chose their own line
of battle and the Republicans had to meet
them on it whether they wanted to or not

campaign. and was the turning point of the
election. To the brave and honest stand
which the Republican party took on this
question and to the efficient and patriotic
aid of the sound-money Democrats, Mr..
Mckinley owes his election. Other issues
and other causes contributed largely to the
result but it was the money question that
turned the scale. But for that many thou
sands of Independent Republicans would
not have voted at ALL and many thousands
of Democrats who voted for Mckinley or
for Palmer would have voted the regular
Democratic ticket. The one factor needful
to insure the election of Mckinley was fur
nished by the money question.
The other great issue of the campaign
millions who voted for Mckinley under
stood that if he was elected the tariff ques-
ton and the money question would be
settled on Republican lines. Exactly what
these lines would be nobody knew, but all
expected they would be such as would put
an end to agitation and bring about res
toration of confidence and prosperity
When Mr. Mckinley was elected it was
taken by common consent that of the two
great unsettled questions of the campaign
the tariff question should be taken up first
One or the other must have precedence, and
as there was urgent necessity of increased
revenues for the government it was con-
ceded that the tariff question should have
the right of way. Thousands of persons
who voted for Mckinley on the money
question, and who did not indorse his tariff
views, admitted that the tariff question
should be disposed of first because the

party was pledged to legislate on that SUBJ
ject, and nothing could be done with the
money question until the other was out of
the way. Eut no person who favored mon
etary reform, least of all those who voted
for Mckinley on that ground alone, sup
posed that taking up the tariff question
first meant the side-tracking or indefinite
postponement of the money question They
felt that he and the party were as much
pledged to one reform as to the other, and
whichever was consummated first the other
would be taken up next and with the same
purpose of carrying it through.
This, then, is the present situation The
tariff question will be disposed of within
two or three weeks at furthest. The money
question is as much live issue as it was
during the last campaign. The mere cleo
ton of Mckinley settled nothing beyond
giving the Republican party an opportunity
to prove its honesty and redeem it's pledges.

country looking after bis fences and trying
to strengthen his hold on the Democratic
machine. The free-silver propaganda is
active. The free-silver Democrats every
where are keeping up their organization
and control of state and local committees.
Everywhere they are busy closing and
barring the doors against soundmoney
Democrats In short, they are doing all
in their power to keep the money question
alive and to make free silver, or, as they
call it now, bimetallism, the leading issue
in 1900 Under these circumstances the
duty of the Republican party is plain. 1t
should embrace the earliest opportunity to
redeem its campaign pledges on the money
question. AS the Democratic party shows
a determination to force the money ques-
ton again to the front the Republicans
should advance to meet the issue more than
half way and show their determination to
fight it out to a finish. AS soon as the
tariff bill is disposed of a bill or resolution
should be introduced in both houses pro-
viding for the appointment of a monetary
commission to report at the regular ses-
sion. That would be at least the beginning
of a movement in the direction of none
tary reform and an earnest of future ac-
ton. Perhaps this is as much as the party
can do at present. 1t certainly is the least
it should do. Not to do this much will be
coWardly.
