The Ohio D. mocracy.

Chairman Findlay of the Ohio democratic of the convention touching the questions raised by the war as one of expansion with the consent of the governed. The Ohio
 democrats thus defined their position: "We recognize the eternal truth that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the natural and inaienable heritage of all mankind. and since the hand of deSpotism has been lifted from the Island of Cuba, dominated by Spain, we should afford it's inhabitants an untrammeled opportunity to establish a free and independent consti
 tutional government, deriving it's powers from the consent of the governed, and we remind the country that congress, in the resolutions which declared war; resolved
 that the United States hereby dsciaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction control over said island. except for the pacifcation
 thereof, and asserts it's determination,
 when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its
 people; and we believe that until the peo- pie of the island of Cuba and ahe Philip pines be free from Spanish domination, and declare otherwise, that we should keep tho faith upon which the war was begun and prosecuted"
 In other words, whenever Cuba or the Philippines want to be annexed they should be annexed. They should at any rate be relieved of Spanish domination, and be given a fair and full chance to say what they want in the way of govern ment.
 Here is very good platform for all democrats to stand upon. The most strenous anti-expansionist will scarcely say that any of the islands involved in the war should be again subjected to Spanish mis-
 rule. That would be refinement of cru
 city. Nor will any be apt to say that petition for annexation should be refused. Pacification. however. comes first, and this will necessarily take place under military rule After it is thoroughly secured, then comes the question of the determination "by the governed' of their permanent form of government and the democrats of Ohio practically say that their determination should become operative and conclusive. Upon this broad and sound platform all democrats surely can conscientiously stand.

much work to be done, and none too much time to do it in.
 Every citizen and householder of the city should begin to prepare the needful deco rations. The building that is not decorated when the Peace Jubilee is held will be an exceptional house .and the owner of it will scarcely be loyal to the city that he resides in, or just to the brave boys who went forth to fight his battles. The city should be decorated as it never was decorated before.
 A battery of light artillery should be sent here, there is not a cannon in the city, and the city authorities should ask the war department to send a battery to come from Huntsville perhaps, or some other nearby camp. A jubilee without the booming of cannon would be as tame as a celebration without music.
 These and many other preparations de- mand time. The preparations can not be too elaborate or too broad. The more elaborate they are. the deeper the impress sion the jubilee will make, tho moro impressive its lessons will be, especi- ally upon the young. After all the chief aim and end of the jubilee should be the medication of a higher and broader patriotism. The love of country and of the countrys heroes should be paramount. All other objects should be incidental.

Affairs in China.
stand

The concessions in China that cabled news so freely relates to, are, in plain American, charters or franchises. They may relate to the building of railroads or any other semi- water supply to telegraph system, or a score more of other projects requiring con- siderable capital. As a general rule, the government that grants charter to an in- dividual or an association of individuals is expected to protect the rights of the of the concesionaire or grantee. But in China this is practically impossible, because stronger nations do not respect her sov- eretgnty, and are intriguing against each other.
 This leads to "sp4leres of inf1uence." or territories claimed at first for commercial purposes. but really for aggrandizement in the sternest sense. This species of land grabbing first arose in Africa. where it's real nature is scarcely concealed. "A sphere of influence" is really but another II.
 England would prefer an open China because she is not afraid to compete with all other nations in securing trade; but as the open door has become impossible in China it is plain England will confine her sphere of influence to the Yangtse valley, and the district tributary to Hong Kong hi hos aid tn ba fba haa of England will have all she can do to keep the upper hand of the great Yangtse valley It contains population of 300 GOO ,OOO, and is the richest and best part of China.
 The French sphere of influence Is south Of Hong Kong. adjoining the French prov inces of Anam. Tonitin and Cochin China, all of which she would be glad to extend The Russian sphere is in the extreme north of China. She proposes to dominate Man in the winter season for her great Siberian railroad. Germany is endeavoring to se- cure the contrdi of the Shantung peninsula, which lies between Manchuria and the Yangtse valley.
 Each proposes to fasten its grip upon the districts dounihated by it through customs regulations and duEes, and later through rates upon the railroads 1t may build to in- terior points. Each may go so far as to control local taxation. In other words spheres of influence in China mean it's par

The Southern Peace Jubilee.

The machinery Of organization is nearly perfected. and today the work Of prepara- ton will be taken up in earnest. In New York a committee of one hundred has been appointed by the municipal assembly to arrange for 8 peace celebration. Its chief feature will be welcome to returning regiments, and this should be made feat ure of our Southern Peace Jubilee. Every Alabama regiment will surely be here. and every other regiment in the south should be urged to come. Let us have a display of soldiery that every boy and girl who witnesses 1t will remember to the end of their respective days.
 on September a. and the Chicago celebra- tion in the first days of October. The southern jubilee is booked for October 20 or therabouts, the exact date depending upon the time that President Mckinley can be induced to come, for The Age Herald does not believe that the popular chief magistrate will deny the people of the south an opportunity to see him and know him better.
 The committees appointed by the citizens under the leadership Of the Commercial club should organize at once, and proceed to the business in hand. The scope of the jubilee is broadening daily, and there is

They Deserve As Well at Our Hands As the
 BIue-Jackets Of the Navy.

From the Hartford Courant.
 A yellow contemporary lengthens the list of it's offenses against the truth by saying; "American volunteers are every whit as good soldiers as regulars"
 Of course this is demonstrably, utterly and everiastingiy not so.
 The volunteers arc as brave, as willing, as periodically eager to serve their coun- try as the regulars. But to assert that they are "every whit as good soldiers is nonsense. It's all one with asserting that special education and training for special line of work should be done away with as quite unnecessary and waste of time. On the same principle young Bill Hodge, who has done odd jobs around the farm house and barn on rainy days with ham meT and nails. is every whit as good car penter as the expert journeyman who learned his trade years ago; Jim Smith, who has acquired smattering of law in his uncie's office at Chatham Four Corners, is every whit good lawyer as Mir. Choate; Dick Jones, who never sat in boat until this summer, is every whit as good an oarsman as Bob Cook or Court ney. Teaching doesn't count, the amateur equals the professional. the beginner and the veteran are on the same footing Was there ever & more preposterous conten- tion?
 In camp, on the march, in action and after the action, the American regular is a better soldier than the equally brave, but not so well instructed and disciplined American volunteer. He is. we fully be- 1ieve. the very best soldier now wearing uniform anywhere in the world. He has not had anything like justice at the hands of the war correspondents this summer he never gets it-and he is not getting anything like his fair share of the coun- try's thanks and welcome now the war is over.
 We are glad that General Young has at last spoken up for him. "Here the Sew enty-first New York and the Second Mas sachusetts have been simply gorged with delicacies" says that gallant and just minded officer. they have in fact more than they can use. while the poor regulars, who fought so well and suffered much without complaint, have been overlooked. Nobody has given them a thought and they have not had thing but government tions since they landed"
 It's a shame that they should have been treated so. It's ingratitude and worse if anything can be worse. The regulars deserve quite as well at our hands as the blue Jackets Of the navy. We are doing ourselves a wrong when we slight and neg lect them.

THE RACE OF THE OREGON

From the Bangor Commercial. Lights out! And a brow turned toward
 the south. And a canvas hiding each cannon S
 mouth. And ship like silent ghost released Is seeking her sister ships in the east. A rush of water a foa1ling trail, An ocean hound in a coat of mail, A deck long g-lined with the lines of fate. She roors good-by at the Golden Gate. On! On! Alone without gong or beil. But a bunrnig fire, like the fire of hell, Till the lookout sees as his glasses show The white. cathedral of Callao. A moments halt meath the slender spire: Food, food for the men, and food for the
 fire Then out in the sea to rest no more Till her keed is grounded on Chiie's shore. South! South! God guard through the un-
 known wave, Where chart nor compass may heip or
 save. Where the missing wraths of the sea abide And few may pass through the stormy
 tide. Northl North! For a haIfbor far away. For another breath in the burning day; FoSIa moments shelter from speed and
 pain, And brow to the tropfc sea again.
