CRYsTALLIzING SENTIMENT.

Our history gives us no record OF
such rapidity Of capitalization of the
sentiments of the people as we now
have presented to us. In less thah ten
weeks there has been born OF Amefl-
can thought, and it has well nlgh at
tanned full stature, the sentiment that
this nation along the line of its natural
and irresistible progression shouio
hold the lands it takes by act of war
from Spain in the Orient, and the land,
outside Of Cuba, it takes in like man
ner in West Indian waters.
This thought and conviction Of the
people, not inharmonious with the doc
trine that we will not intermeddle with
European affairs, nor permit the fur-
ther spread of monarchism in this hem
isphere by aggressive interference OF
European Powers, is crystallizlng into
the demand for the announcement of
definite and enlarged foreign policy.
The Government is already so far COM
mitted to it that every day makes 1t
more difficult to avoid it or withdraw
from it.
That the question will become an is
sue in approaching campaigns is evi-
dent from the fact that Mr.. Belmont OF
New York, Democratic candidate for
the Governorship Of that State, has al
ready entered the lists with opposition
to the policy inscribed upon his ban
ners, if 1T at all involves any alliance
with Great Britain on the basis of re-
tention of the Philippines, the idea be-
ing that the one is embraced within the
other.
In fact, however, the propositions are
severable. There may be retention
without alliance. We invade no realm
of European politics, we trespass upon
no European rights by our proposed
holding Of what the fortune of war
awards US, If there is political divi-
sion,t however, upon these lines, 1T will
be because the Republican party will
declare for the new doctrine. or be-
cause of new alignment Of the people
upon new party issues clustering about
the newborn sentiment.
That such new alignment may be re-
allied is promised by the attitude Cali
fornia Will unquestionably assume.
Her interests are so inextricably in
terwoven with the propositions of an
nexation of Hawaii and retention of
the Philippines, that it is safe TO say
that the majority of the Democratic
party in this State will declare for the
policy, regardless of what the Repub-
Hcan party may do. The two great
parties in this State may divide their
membership upon that issue with the
Overwhelmingly larger number in each
for acquisition. as already indicated.
Before any National platforms are
drawn, however, it is probable that the
war will be over and the policy of the
Government be announced, if not def
initely settled If not, the new align
ment will be inevitable and old issues
viii be retired in the presence of the
new, and old political enemies will be
found rallying side by side under the
banner of a new and broadened foreign
policy for the American nation.

one suggests that it springs from a

Nothing Of the kind. If any such

France is alarmed over the fear that
the bitterness of feeling between the
French and OUT people at this time will
prevent the Americans being largely
represented in the Paris Exposition OF
1900. No fear, Jean; the Yankee ma
ton does not allow such things to in
terfere with opportunities to advertise
to the world that this is a wonderful
country, and to exhibit samples of it's
products and manufactures. The lead
ing journals of the East are advocating
a liberal appropriation by the Govern
ment to conserve our exhibits at the
fair, and it is safe to say that Jonathan
will take more than keen delight in
showing the Frenchman that despite
the sneers and taunts of Gauls, he is
open to business with the world, and
France in particular, at the old stand.
The timid and hermit nation people
who oppose any acquisition of territory
by the United States forget that it is
not a new policy, when they raise the
objection that it is not warranted by
the Constitution. President Lincoln
favored acquisition for colonization

Congress: Having practiced the ac-
QUESTION Of territory for nearly sixty
years, the question of constitutional
power to do so is no longer an open

BIRD FRIENDS.
San IIeandro Reporter: The birds are
the farmers friends. There is scarcely
one of them, if indeed there be any,
that is not an insect destroyer, even
though it may feed at times on grains,
berries or fruits Last year the San
Jose Mercury" published in it's COL
umns from time to time general syn
opses of report by the Department
Of Agriculture on the dietary habits
of the common American birds, based
on the examination of the contents of
the stomachs of many thousands Of
specimens. The conclusions drawn were
that very few birds are really de-
structive of cultivated grains. berries
or fruits, and that even those render
great service during the year by de-
stroying countless numbers of insects
and other farm and orchard pests. Yet
the slaughter of birds goes on, and
many localities in this State which once
We're filled with the life, beauty and
songs of irds have beeen made desolate
in this respect by their ignorant or
wanton destruction, and in consequence
harmful insects have multiplied.
ALFALFA YEAR.
Riverside Press: This is certainly the

rancher remarked in the Press" office
the other day that he had sold two and
a half tons to the acre of his second

He figures on six cuttings, but the
total would be about enough to average
five cuttings of two and a half tons per
acre. That means $3.50 per acre this

They were not Armed.

Roxboro, n. c., Nov. 2.-(SpeciaD.-
What was almost a race riot occurred
in RoxboIO in the court house Monday
night. S. r. Adams, Republican candi-
date for Congress, aroused the negroes
so that they made dash at Il handful
of whites and drove them from the
court room. The whites returned arm
ed, but no further trouble occurred.
The matter happened as follows, and
the writer has no desire to color or over
draw i'll the least for any political effect
The bare facts are enough to stir every
drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in Person
county to action.
Mr.. Adams was showing up the record
of Congressman Kitchin. alleging that
he (kitchin) voted for Bailey, a Clevc-
land man, against w. G.. Hilin, Bryan
man. This statement was calculated to
deceive. Mr.. r. III. Dowdy begged to
make a statement III which he told that
Bailey was the nominee of the party.
and while Kitchin had been for Mr. Hill
lin. yet when it came to voting for
/ Bailey. or Tom Reid. very naturally
l>ltchin took the former and besides Mr..
j. Bryan himself is no stronger silver
man than Bailey.
Mr.. Adams grew angry at the explana-
ton. and denounced Mr.. Dowdy. and
again reiterated his position.
Mr.. A. 7. Kitchin then asked if Bailey
was not strong silver man. Mr.. Adams
again grew angry and denounced the
conduct of Mr.. Kitchin as ungentc-
manly.
Mr.. Adams continued his speech and
began TO tell an old. old anecdote when
Mr.. Newell interrupted him by saying
chestnut This again made Mr..
Adams very angry, and he asked for
Newell's name. and used very strong
language, saying no one could bulldoze
him. The mayor of the town asked all
good citizens, white and colored. for
order, and some of Newell's friends adj
vised him to 90 out. Just as this june
ture j. 5. Merritt. brother of w. ID.
Merritt. Republican, opulist solicitor
and candidate, arose and calmly began
TO insist on order. He soon dashed HIM
self into fury and torrent of abuse
poured from his lips. Finally he made
ii dash at Newell, and the negroes fol-
towing his lead, arose en- masse. ana
started towards the whites. The whites
beng totally, unarmed and few in num-
iers Withdrew rather hurriedly. There
was no further trouble. but our town is
excited over the occurrence and trouble
