homes. Does the Republican party stand
for this? Let the Journal answer.
Again, II is well known by every we'll
Informed person that the railroad cOmpa-
nies In this State have for years robbed the
people Of their hard-earned products In
the way Of high rates for transportation.
Freight rates west OF the Missouri river
for years have been almost double the rate
east OF the river. Cities In kansas are dis
criminated against in favor Of Kansas City,
st. Joseph and other points east. This is
unjust. for 1t takes from the producer all
the profits OF his labor to pay freight
POpulism holds that railroad companies
are the servants OF the people, receiving
their charter or privilege to build and Op-
crate their roads In the State from the
State government; that they are run for
the accommodation Of the general public;
that they are not Independent corporations
but derive their powers from the State,
and that while they should receive fair,
just and equitable remuneration for SER
vices rendered, that remuneration should be
In proportion to the price received by the
producer, thus giving to each-the producer
and the railroad Company-an equitable
share of the profits of labor IL holds
further, that inasmuch as the railroads
derive their authority and power from the
State. maximum freight rate should be
enacted and laws passed by the Legislature
compelling the roads to abide by and carry
1t into effect
This has been the position of Populists
on transportation, but since a Republican
Supreme court, the tool of the corpora
tons, has decided against this, they now
favor a maximum rate made by the Rail-
road Commissioners, subject to being
changed when necessary.
What is the record of the Republican
party?
Let the past answer. They have ever
stood as the firm friends of the railroads
and against the people, and the railroads
use every effort to secure the election of
the Republican ticket in every State cleo
ton.
SO far have shown concluslvely, think,
what POpulism stands for, as opposed to
Republicanism. In future article will
notice some other points OF interest and il
possible remove the mist from that fright
full socialistic, communistlc plank which
the Journal has discovered in the Populist
State platform of Kansas.

The First Campaign Lie.
q. w. BuRDICK.

After the closing OF the POpulist con-
vention az Topeka last June smooth
faced fellow who looked as though he had
average intelligence and credited OF being
a truthful man, In very important ana
matter of fact manner stated to a crowd
OF delegates that "NO wonder Mrs. Dlggs
favored the disposng Of the metropolitan
police throughout the State, that she was
the owner OF drug store and ran
joint" He was referring to the eloquent
speech OF Mrs Diggs In the afternoon at
the convention, where she had taken Occa-
sion to commend the decided action OF the
convention in demanding the repeal Of the
law creating the police board, and the Inn
mediate suspension Of the metropolitan po-
lice system. WhereupOn a delegate to the
convention, i'm very serious and some
what surprised manner, with earnestness
depicted on his cOuntenance, asked II he
knew such to be the case? The slick
smooth-faced would-be gentleman replied
that he knew such to be fact, that he
had been in her drug store and joint" The
questioner had nothing more to say 1t
was q charge that he had never heard made
before. but knew nothing about 1t, but
however could not believe 1t on general
principles
This seems to have been the first cam
paign lie Of the season. The facts Of the
case are these: A little more than two
years ago Frank l.. Diggs, a very bright
and promising son Of Mrs. Diggs, who had
recently graduated In pharmacy and at
this time occupying position in Wood
ward & FaxOns drug house, Kansas City,
was sent to Perry, where he took charge
of bankrupt stock of drugs. His manner
of attending to this business was 80 sat-
isfaCtory to his employers that they pro-
posed to sell the stock to him. A deal was
contaminated and now he has the entire
stock paid for and is doing a thriving busl-
ness besides caring for an invalid father;
this has been accomplished without the
all OF Mrs Diggs or any other relative.
1t Is enough to say that he has never
taken out n permit or government license
and has not sold or kept for sale liquors
Of any kind.

What to DO With the Philippines.
WILLIAM G. LEE.

In regard to the proposition to make the
Philippine islands an American Territory
and not a State, while they have an ample
population, the objection Is often made that
this would be to set aside our national pre-
cedentS and our fundamental principle of
local self-government,
II is true that the arrangement would be
contrary to our previous precedent Of try
Ing to make all people under our dominion
live the same political life; that Is, partake
In the same kind of popular government,
regardless of their fitness for 1t. But this
Is a bad precedent. 1t would be wiser to
adapt the government to the people. 1t Is
q truIsm that democracy Is not best for
all people, and yet in practice we insist that
II is the only thing which can be.
II, Instead Of giving the negroes Of the
South the ballot to protect themselves, the
FTeedmens Bureau had been continued,
with whatever improvements might have
been necessary they would have been bet
ter off, The SpanLsh-speaking people of
our Southwest might have been given the
rights of citizens without the responsible
ties of voters, for which they were unfit.
Tho Indians have been treated as alien
nations, and hence fit subjects for aggres-
sion by our own nation. II they had been
made citizens, with the rights of citizen
ship except suffrage, then they might have
been protected by our laws. AT the same
time their tribal organizations might have
been continued; IL the Indians were not
sufficiently advanced to do business in the
white mans way, their tribes might have
been made corporations, to hold their lands
as property In trust.
But our foolish rule has been that all
men must be voters or else have no rights;
and so the Indians being manifestly inca
pable of voting, have been left to the spoil
ers. The Indians in Oklahoma who have
been persuaded to take land In severalty
are, I suppose, forced to enter into the
competitive struggle with white business
men, by whom they will soon be reduced
to poverty and want
England has shown more common sense
In handling her subject nations. The Eng
lish themselves are as fond of freedom as
we are. and those British dependencies
which are fit for II have the fullest meas
ure OF democracy; yet all the range from
these to absolute despotsm is found among
the divers nations under Queen VictOras
sway.
II the Philippine islands should become
permanent possession of the United States,
that would be more satisfactory to the
European powers than for any one of them
to gain the prize.
Why should not the Philippines be ter
ritOry, with no prospect of becoming n
State? Their native tribes might be made
trust corporations for conserving the rights
and welfare of the individuals belonging 10
them. The Governor would be appointed
BY the President, and a Legislature might
be formed also by appointment. until such
time as the residents OF the islands are

than the common sOldlery who bear the
brunt of battle, bring victory to our arms,
and libeTate the struggling Cubans from
the Spanish yoke? Do you say that the
government will give gold dollars for every
paper and silver dollar 1t issues? 1t will
not. There is no law for such exchange or
redemption. II all paper and silver dollars,
and all bonds of the government, should
be presented for payment in gold now, or
in hundred years, this government would
have to repudiate It's debt or go into vol
untary bankruptcy.
1t will be noticed that the above dis
patch says that "a suggestion has been
made to the Secretary Of War that any
tradesman who refuses to accept United
States money of any kind at 100 cents on
the dollar should be removed from any ter
ritOry over which the American flag
floats" Such an order ought to be made
and executed; and as the American flag
floats over the United States any creditor
Of the government who demands payment
in golC should be banished from the land
forever

prepared to take part in elections. The
last named condition might be hastened by
having an electorate composed only OF
white men, intelligent representatives OF
the native groups, and such indlvid-
uals as in the course OF time show
themselves sufficiently educated and capa-
BILE. In other words, the government should
be made republican, yet not democratic;
but for the sake Of justice, there should be
provision for continual admission to the
governing class Of those individuals from
the non-governing class who are fit to help
in the work Of governing; and, also, the
disfranchised elements ought to have
friends at court" in the shape of some
capable and firmly-seated official persons
whose interests lie with the dlsfranchsed
rather than with the enfranchised classes.
Such an electorate would be anomalous.
But what harm In that? Are not govern
ments formed to promote the welfare Of the
governed? Under this kind Of a govern
ment the Philippines would be protected
from anarchy, and from the religious dicta-
tatlon which some powers would be likely
to offer and they would be opened, as
Japan and Hawaii have been, to the infu-
ence Of American civilization.

" JlngOlSm:" Is II Good for This
COuntryP
+. @. JOHNSON.

There is so much jingoism in this country
and its advocates are so busy with voice
and pen creating sentiment among the
people, that, even at the risk Of being mis-
understood and misjudged, 1 am impelled
to say word In the interest Of what
deem to be the right course for us to pur-
sue as a nation in this most momentous
period in our history.
The people of this country have seen
with horror the oppression of the Cubans,
and for more than two years the voice
of Americans had rung out in convention
and council asking that only sufficient rec
Ognition be given the Cuban insurgents to
enable them to contend with some de-
gree Of equality with the "unspeakable"
Spahiard. The voice of the people was not
needed and the horrible warfare went on
from bad to worse, eliminating in Weyler's
lnhuman policy of herding the already
starving populace into the cities and viii
lagos, thus making their unhappy condi-
tiOn more helpless. When the barbarous
practice of the Spanish power had become
so glaring that the world looked in horror
the Maine was dispatched to Havana har-
Dor, and all know the fate Of her gallant
crew.
The hearts of the American people had
for months been bleeding in sympathy for
the Cuban people; they were ready to take

liberty; but 1t required an act of the most
fiendish treachery on the part of Spain's
minons to induce this government to en-
ter upon "a war for humanity in which
the war cry in each battle has been "Re'
member the Maine!
The war Just closed was a just war; 1t
was one by which much good is ultimately
to come to the world, as l believe. We
entered upon its prosecution united peo-
pie, supporting the government by our
united, unquestionlng and hearty moral
and material influence as people. Our
best young men rushed to the front; money
was voted lavishly for carrying the con-
test to a successful issue; extraordinary
means were TesOrted to In order that the
sinews of war be provided-all 'in the in
teresc of humanity" Events followed
each other In rapid succession the stars
and stripes fOated over Manila harbOr,
over the Ladrones, the Caroltnes' Hawaii,
Santiago. We find ourselves all at once
practically In possession of lands 10000
miles from our capital.
AT once the voice OF the jingo is heard
when the question is asked as to their
disposition, and his unfailing answer is,
keep the territory which we occupy" II
asked to give a reason why we should
allow this war to degenerate into war
for conquest, his answer Is, I'VE have as

answer expresses the real idea of the aver
age man, who simply speaks out upon Inn
pulse without giving the matter as much
thought as It is entitled to. But there are
influences In this land Of ours that see In
the retention of Spanish territory means
for the building up Of greater fortunes
than we have even dreamed Of. There are
others who see opportunities for political
prominence, and the ambitions of those
classes are now being fed by the clamor
