| out the condition of public sentiment
| As a result OF his investigation, tie SAYS
| that the foreign policy of the admins
| tration will be the principal issue in the
| Presidential campaign. Of that issue
| he said: 1.-THE sentiment OF the country
! is, III my opinion, oyerw helmingly in ia
yor of maintaining American supremacy
| over every foot OF territory which came
| to us.As result of the war with Spain
The anti-expansionists Of the East have
really done President Mckinley good
| turn by their examinations. For they
| have aroused the sentiment of the peo-
pie and made an issue that will be set
lied in the Presidential election next
year, and settled right, as every ques-
ton involving American dignity and
) honor has always been settled when
submitted to the voters"
Although now a voter in New York
ex-Secretary Carlisle can't Keep bis
fingers out Of politics. While in Wash
ington, several days ago, he made a
statement showing in the most positive
! manner that, in 1896 Goebel claimed to
DE a sound money Democrat and was
working with that faction of the party.
Ex-senator Blackburn, who has been
in Washington about a week, supposed
to be sick, SAYS that Mr.. Bryan has not
craWhshed on his promise 10 speak for
Goebel, and that he will manage Brvan's
stumplng trip. which, he says, will be
! confined TO the strong Democratic dis
tricts, because its principal object is
TO bring kicking Democrats into the
| party traces.
Jim" Boyle. an old newspaper man
who was private secretary to President
Mckinley while he was governor OF
OHIO, and during the presidential cam
paign, but who has been for the last
| two years, L. S. consul at Liverpool,
| England, Is in Washington on a vaca-
ton. Being close observer and care
| ful man, these words OF Mr.. Boyle's are
gratisying to all Americans, and should
turer who is seeking to extend his for
eIgn trade, especially with England
The most gratifying thing to citizen
of this country is the eyer increasing
demand in England for Yankee manu-
features. What l would try to impress
| on our people is the vital necessity Of
sending oyer only high class goods. By
keeping our products up to high stan
English, who are always willing to pay
the very highest prices for the best.
But any deterioration from this stand
ard breeds distrust and means a dim-
mutton of imports. In some lines, by a
failure to pursue this correct policy, we
have already suffered less, notably in
the bicycle trade, which, in 1898, fell
Oft 90 per cent. from the preceding year,
owing to the fact that a great many
trashy wheels were sent from this coun-
try TO England, the result being that
some degree of suspicion was sure to at
tach to all American maLes of bicycles
in the future"
It seems difficult for the Navy depart
ment to Issue an order concerning Rear
Admiral Schley which does not put the
inventive faculties of some newspaper
writers on double duty and produce a
lot of stories which anyone at all famil-
lar with the practices of the department
know to be farcical. Sometime ago Adj
miral Schley asked to be given sea duty
and last week he was ordered to hold
himself in readiness to take command
OF the South Atlantic squadron, the first
os,t.er t,.,,i.y Tho. l...1 L.vn to comply
with his request, the appointments of
that rank made since he filed it having
all gone to his seniors. First came a
batch of stories about the command be-
ing an unimpOrtant one. That is pure
bOsa. No flag command is regarded in
the navy as unimpOrtant, and any one
of them may become at any time the
most important. 1t is always custom
AIRY before assigning officers of high
rank 10 any particular duty TO ascertain
their wishes, and there isn't any reason
for supposing that the custom will be
devl lted from in this case. Therefore,
1t may be taken FOR granted that if the
order is issued assigning Admiral Schlev
to the command Of the South Atlantic
squadron, he has no objection to assum-
ing it.
