democrats Are Learning.

The report of the proceedings of the
Missouri Democratic Convention shows
that the Democratic party is not wholly
besotted and hopeless, but that it may
be progressive. 1t is learning. 1t has
still another step to go, but considering
the adamantine stupidity of the men
who have been allowed to call them
selves leaders it has done very well
indeed. In another three months we
may expect it to advance to the last
post and stand before the country alive
and modernized and worthy of the
trust of the people, which its incompe-
tents forfeited.
The blind, addle-pated managers of
the party got together and resolved
to force the financial issue to the rear
and to appeal to a people, now burn
ing with patriotic zeal, on the negative
issue of national isolation. The State
conventions were to adopt platform
opposing territorial expansion, and. of
course, the very commercial expan-
sion that has been the highest ideal of
the Democracy. They were to do this
not because it represented a principle
of the party. for its traditions are all
against it. but because the Republican
party was supposed to favor territorial
and commercial expansion. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is still to prove that his party
goes as far as popular sentiment. in
this by his treatment of the Philippine
question. The Vermont Democrats in
IN, ha hon dc Of
submitted to the program and de-
nounced the policy of expansion that
would make the nation prosperous be-
yond all precedent. Bailey was to car
ry the same imbecile doctrine through
the Texas convention. There was re-
volt and the leaders were routed. The
resolutions proposed by the purblind
bosses were thrown into the waste
basket, and the annexation of Porto
Rico and, under proper conditions, of
Cuba, was advocated. This was no
short step toward an intelligent and
patriotic policy. Missouri Democrats,
although bullied and urged by Bland
TO carry out the original scheme of
cowardice and folly, followed the ex-
ample of the Texans. We may now
expect this to be the course |
of majority of the party throughout |
the country.
Perhaps it was unreasonable to hope |
the insurrection against the incompe- |
tent leaders should, at the first STEP go |
SO far as a demand for the permanent |
retention of the Philippines. 1t is to |
be considered that the bosses were or
ganized. while the people were not. To |
have smashed the original scheme was
fine as beginning, but it was only
Having asserted them
selves, the Democratic masses are like
ly to go to the full length and to advc-
cate the annexation of all the Spanish
in the Pacific. To stop
with Porto Rico and Cuba would be in
consistent. So much is virtually
achieved, and it is of little conse-
quence whether the Democrats con-
denim or approve, except as an indica-
ton of their right and ability to live
any longer. Some convention of Demo-
Gratis will declare for the annexation
Of all possible territory and for the
glorious destiny of the republic, and
hen all the leaders will be swept aside
and the National Democracy will take
he head Of the grand procession.

MINERS IN HARD LUCK.
Aiondikers CO compelled to Accent
Aid From Natives.

Seattle Wash. Aug. u.-By the steamer
Conemaugh. which arrived yesterday
from st. Michaels, it is learned tha, a
small army of stranded argonauts camp
ed along the beach in the neighborhood
Of St Michaels and Fort Get There, have
in part been forced TO rely upon the char
ity of the natives.
There are indications of the Government
being called to aid men without supplies
or money and enable them either -tos go
inland or return 10 the States. TbatJhe
miners have been compelled to accept the
aid of the natives is in itself proof of
the desperate circumstances in which they
are

Electric Lixht Monop.Ix

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Chicago Edison
Company has completed the absorption
Of every important corporation now fur
nishing electric light inside the city Inn
its OF Chicago and consequently now has
"a monopoly of the business of the city.
Eleven companies have been taken into
the fold. The only electric light company
not included In the deal is the Cosmopoli-
tan. and while 1t has a franchise and
some wires laid, 1t has not yet got a
plant and IL not prepared to go into busi-
ness

Most naval officers are too well discip-
lined to reveal to the public the feelings
they entertain toward commanders who
have, in their opinion, received unde-
served favors. Chaplain Mcintyre is an
exception, and from the point of view of
the service, he was at least extremely
indiscreet. But we may infer from his
on Sampson what are the real
Of the officers of the navy.

Her Name Live. I'm Law

Chicago. Aug. 1.-THE name of Mrs
Louisa Luetgert, whose husband is at
Joliet under a life sentence for having
murdered her, was mentioned as defen-
dant in a suit filed yesterday in the cir
cult court to foreclose a mortgage on
property near the sausage factory where
her body was destroyed.

Congressman skinner sapguine

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 11.-Congressman
Skinner made a flying visit here today
to see some of the Populist leaders. He
was asked his opinion of the attack which
Senator Butler made on him last week.
He laughed and said he cared nothing
for It. He added: Il have no doubt of
my denomination by our Populist con-
ventfon. August Is. and of my indorse-
ment by the Republicans"

The Strategy Board.

Capt. Mahan and the strategists in Washington
evidently feel that the time has come for them
to step down to the front Of the stage, let us all
know that Sampson was their agent, and defend
their tiinid and ineffective strategy. One of the
il We ever again engage in naval conflict it is ex.
tremely desirable that there shall be no such
thing as naval strategy board in Washington
The evening times., 1898-08-11

1t is entirely reasonable that the
Spanish troops now in Spain should be
ordered to prepare for a voyage to the
Philippines. The Spanish government
has no doubt that 1t will be allowed to
take vengeance on Aguinaldo and his
followers. and to rob the islanders in or
der to strengthen the depleted treasury

Governor Of NewfounaIand.

st. Johns. N. F., Aug. n.-A movement
is on foot requesting Sir Herbert Murray
to withdraw his resignation Of the gov
ernorship rendered to the colonial office in
London some weeks since. Government
newspapers advise the public not to sign
the petition. owing to Cir Herbert's hos
tile dispatches to Joseph Chamberlain
against Reds railway.
The evening times., 1898-08-11

General Merritt is not waiting so much
for peace news as gunboats. While
there is no reasonable doubt that he can.
WITH the aid of the navy, capture Manila
at his pleasure, the possession of that
place would inaugurate troubles that he
does not care TO experience at this mo-
ment. General Miles is not bothered by
the prospect Of peace. but is moving
steadily toward his goal.

Broom-corn Crop F.iI.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 1.-THE broom
corn crop in Kansas will be almost total
failure Within five years Kansas has
become one of the broom-corn States of
the Union. During the last year four
extensive broom manufactures have been
located in Central Kansas. Many of the
fields will not produces a ton to the acre.
The evening times., 1898-08-11

Another and not more pleasant side
of Spanish character is revealed in the
refusal of the offer of this country to
surrender Admiral Cervera and the naval
prisoners. Spain is withou. gratitude TO
these men who risked life in her service
and will not go to the expense of their
return to their homes. She simply aban-
dons them utterly. and would do so If
their fate were less kindly than the gen.
erosity of the United States makes 1t.

The statement of one of the Spanish
naval officers, a prisoner at Annapolis,
that he intended to make this country
his home, is not surprising, in view of
the kindness he has experienced here
and the Indifference of his own nation to
his fa.e.

A Question Not Answered.

The real question has been whether Admiral
Sampson could not have been more generous in
recognizing the part which Commodore Schley
took in the actual fight, and whether any good
reason has yet appeared for placing the former
in command over the head of his senior. whose
gallantry and activity as naval off,cer have not

THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.

It gives an American comfortable sort of feeling 10 read the estimates of the wealth of tue several nations of the world, as prepared by Mitchael c. Mulhsll, the eminent English statisti- clan, than whom there is no greater authority living. In all the essentials which go to make up available wealth, the United States is far in advance of any other country in the world. Au- other very important fact is noted, that while most European countries have attained their growth, the United States is apparently on the threshold of an industrial development which has scarcely been dreamed of.
 Mr. Mulhall submits the following table of estimates, as being the resul. of careful and comprehensive investi gation into the sources of national wealth in the several countries

Porto Rico it appears does not offer much inducenent to immigrants from the United States. The island has Q population of 234 persons to the square mile, which is greater than that of any state in the Union. The population of Porto Rico is mostly of an agricultural character, and they are not over indus trious or enlightened. No doubt the introduction of American methods and machinery will largely increase the possibilities of the agricultural devel. opaseat Of the island and stimulate the expors srsde. Capital will find profit able employ in agriculture and in commercial pursuits, and there should be fair demand for skilled mechanics. Porto Rico is destined to become pop ular with Americans, and especially sitn residents of the Atlantic coast, as wiater resort, and 10 doubt much of fh4 European travel will be diverted 10 1aoa'sn Forto Fieo!

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

Levi Strauss & Co.,, of San Francis co, the well known manufacturers of copper riveted overalls, who have a reputation second to none for business integrity and for the high quality of goods manufactured by them, were re- gently the object of complaint (mads by some ill-willed person., filed with the Commissioner of Labor of the State of California, alleging that Messrs. Levi Strauss & Go. were employing great many Chinese in their factory.
 The complaint prompted an investi- gation, which was made by the state labor commissioner, E. l.. Fitzgerald, without the knowledge of the firm, and the first intimation received by them was letter from MT. Fitzgerald, in which he says: ''I was gratihed to see so large and complete factory and so thoroughly systemitized and equip ped, and further that the sanitary con- ditions are thoroughly in accordance with law" The commissioner adds that he witnessed 600 white female em- ployes at work, and that the number of Chinese employed is only about one per cent of the force, and they are em- ployed on work which white men would not do. In conclusion the commission CT says 1T take pleasure in reporting that your factory can be chased as q white labor institution under present conditions, and it pleases mo to give credit where credit is due.
