Extension of Power. No Colonies aad
No Partnershfp with
Great Britain.

A large number OF people are asking
Us what Is the policy of the democratic
party on the Hawaiian. Philippine and
Puerto Rico annexation questions. IL
is impossible TO answer THIS question at
this time. The democratic party, I'M
like the republican party, is not oper-
ated by a junta. IL makes its express
slons known through the people. in ma
tional convention assembled every four
years. What the party as whole be-
lieves about these questions will find
expression in the platform OF 1900. I'm
til then every individual democrat is
free TO express his opinion and to en-
deavor TO find expression for it in the
next national platform. This is de-
mocracy and the truth expressed by
the majority. We are of the opinion
that the great masses OF democracy are
favorable to the extension of the power
OF this republic. We want no colonies,
but we do want coaling stations. We
want the Nicaraguan canal, and the
democratic party will construct it. We
want TO drive England and every other
foreign power out of the West Indies
and the democratic party will doit. we
do not want an alliance with England
or any other foreign power.
The republican party favors an al
lance with England, favors British
partn ership in the Nicaraguan cana
and British partnership in all our at
fairs, national and international.
The next national convention OF tn
democratic party will draw the lines s.
plainly on these questions that ever.
true American, whether adopted or ma
tive-born, will rally to its purpose
National Democrat.

The Appointing Power Abused by the
Administration In military
Assig nme nts.

The policy of appointing TO military
positions men without experience or
fitness. simply because they are some
body's sons or grandsons or are able TO
bring the right influence to bear on the
appointing power, is causing wide
spread dissatisfaction. Al one time 1t
hooked as IL the president did not in
tend TO adopt this policy, but the last
few days have been exceedingly prolific
in this class OF appointments. II Is
hard TO understand how the military
service can be strengthened. or such
strength as ii possesses be preserved
through this besotted policy. 1t is not
the way 10 meet great national crisis.
/, Is argued that many of those men
with cheaply won commissions will be
placed where they will do the least pos
s,ble harm, but their placing cannot
alter the fact that this policy of be-
slowing military honors on the unmili-
tary and undeserving has IL in II TO do
incalculable harm. What encourage
ment is there for experience and long
service when men who have no mill.

'sThy will be done" means more than
"Thy will be borne" No matter what
sorrow invades your life, we are still
to do Gods will. We may see after
wards that the sorrow rightly accepted
fitted us to do some new duty. or to do
our old duty more effectively. Speak.
Lord, for Thy servant heareth," Is a
right cry for the hour OF beyvildering
grief. Lord, what wilt Thou have me
to learn and to do? 1t is how we learn
the new lesson, not how we like 1t, that
il OF highest Importance. 1t Is not
the loss of tool that should chiefly
concern us, but the more faithful and
fruitful use OF the tools that are left.
Instead of a resignation that passion
ately or passively, defiantly or despair
ingly, let's go the priced possession, let
there be the herosm of renunciation,
which says, "Now that know Thy
will, l lay this down of myself, to live

have lived with it," Let there be bet

BRYAN'S APPOINTMENT.
shrewd Trick OF the Admiuistration
20 Get the Democratic Leader
Out of the Way.

Secretary of War Alger has weakened
on his scheme to keep William j. Bryan
out OF the army. Cle~er secretary OF
war, Alger. 1t was stupid politics and
worse patriotism for him to persecute
the man who received 100000 votes for
president of the United States. Nc
Kinley. with a narrowness character
istic Of the man, ignored Bryan's offer
for services, and when Bryan be-
gan to raise a regiment OF soldiers AL
ger thought it would be smart thing
to prevent the acceptance of that regi-
ment. All the anti-democratic papers
were filled with spiteful glee over Al
gers shrewd trick. But ii seems new
light dawned on the secretary OF war.
He has discovered that he made monu-
mental mistake when Missouri offered
Bryan a regiment, and so he changed
his plan. Now he proposes TO accept
Bryan's regiment and send 1t to guard
outlying islands of the Philippines. The
Ladrones or Mariana islands have been
suggested. This Punishment OF Bryan
to the other side OF TIE world is really
a brilliant idea. The only wonder IL
that it did not occur to Alger and Nc
Kinlcy sooner. How anxious Alger and
Hanna and Mckinley are ITO be fair
! with the late democratic candidate fol

Present Appearance Indicate Demo.
cratic success ut the Polls
Next Fall.

Democratic success in returning mem
bers to the house of representatives this
fall Will go long way towards secur-
ing democratic victory in the presiden-
tial contest of 1900. But there is dam
ger even in success. The danger will
consist in sending unfit men TO the
lower house. If cranks and impractical
enthusiasts are elected they will do the
party incalculable harm. Democracy
is of the people and is for the people.
The party does not exist 10 further the
ambitions of aspiring politicians. IL
has a prouder and more practical mis-
sion. There are plenty of wise, careful
and brilliant men in the party who can
do il and the people good service in
congress. Such men should be nomi-
mated and elected. Men with some one
fixed idea to which all other things are
secondary should not be given place
| on any democratic ticket. Wild speeches
in congress, incendiary utterances on
| the part of sincere but mistaken fanat'
! les can do no good and cannot fail to dc
| much harm. Conditions point toward
| democratic success at the polls thii
fall. That success should not be turned
into defeat by mistaken choice o
congressional candidates. Let the sc
lection be made with extreme care ant
the result in 1900 will fully repay tn
efforts of the present.

ANOTHER PANIC THREATENS.
Adoption Of Revenue Measure VIII
Produce Conditions Sim iinr to
Those of 1893.

Congressman Joe Wilson declares
that rhe adoption of the revenue meas
ure will produce panic in this coun
try similar to that inaugurated by the
banking interest in 1898, and the effects
of which are still widely felt Senator
Lindsay declares that its passage Will
be followed by n raid upon the treasury
gold. and that the reserve Will be drawn
out by the gold syndicate, compelling
suspension of specie payments, forcing
gold to a premium and throwing the
finances of the country into confusion.
This menace was TO he expected. un-
fortunately il is bluff that cannot with
safety be called. The conditions are
not fundamentally different now from
what they were when the last issues OF
Understanding bonds were forced
from the Cleveland administration, as
the price of immunity from continued
treasury raids. The exigencies of the
war period, indeed, give added strength
TO the position Of the gold-hoarders.
They have it in their power now to
drain il in n day. The success Of the
proposed addition to the greenback cir
>ulation will give them, the pretext.
Specie payments will then have to be
suspended. unless the president shall
use the authority he already possesses
Of selling bonds TO replenish the re-
serve, and the endless chain machine
will then pump out the gold as fast as
it can be gathercd-as often rs the con
spirators choose to resort TO it.
There is no installing the temper OF

ment by the throat. Their demands
