During next year., just before the cleo
ton, Democratic newspapers will spring
up like mushrooms in every part of the
territory and die again as quickly after
the election. OF course, an ephemeral
advertising sheet can have no influ-
newspaper, and it is really money
thrown away to boost such amateur eff
forts at journalism.

PROSPERITY FOR YEARS.

KANSAS CITY Star.)
Stability and conservatism, along
with great activity among merchants,
manufacturers and bankers, render the
present business situation of the coun-
try the most satisfactory one that has
ever existed, and the time is far in the
future when the present prosperous era
will come to an end and be followed by
the inevitable period of depression that
always results from a business boom.
The boom period, in fact, has not yet
beer reached, and it will not be, as long
as the present spirit of conservatism
exists.

Nobody goes to the Cochiti district,
twenty-five miles west of Santa Fe,
without declaring that the operations
under way there will make the camp the
largest gold mining town in New Mex
leo. Generally visitors to a gold district
are divided in their opinions as to its
future, but all agree that the Cochiti
mineral district is liable to become as
great a producer as Cripple Creek.

Political economy should be included
in the curriculum of every school. Some
form of civil government should be
taught even in the lowest grades. Pride
in American citizenship is too often
based upon prejudice, passion and ira
dition rather than upon knowledge and
reason. Many of the shortcomings in
administration of the government are
the result of ignorance Of the voters.

The Standard Oil Company has filed
an answer to Attorney General Smyth's
petition asking that it be expelled from
the state of Nebraska as a trust. The
answer denies that it has been a trust
since 1892, and asserts that the state
antitrust law is unconstitutional. Let's
see; 1892 was the year in which the
Standard Oil Company disposed of the
Independent wells in the Florence dis
trict. 1t was a trust while swallowing
It's rivals. Now that the swallowing is
completed it denies the allegation.

VICTORIES OF PROTECTION.
washington Post.)

w oehf
While the protectionists We're con-
tending that our home market was the
greatest commercial prize on earth they
organized home market clubs, printed
home market literature and put tariff
schedules at rates high enough to afford
fair wages. This policy, in connection
with out patent system and its active
stimulus Of invention, finally enabled us
to get more production for a dollar, in
spite Of higher wages, than any of our
foreign competitors. 1t gave US not
only superior men, but better machines.
So, while defending the home market
and doing our best to fill It, we grad
ually obtained a foothold in foreign
countries. The victories of protection,
as n after another they have substi-
tuted home products for foreign, fur
nish the most fascinating chapters in
the worlds industrial history. While
decreasing our imports by supplying
our W wants, we are exporting wares
to the countries, and in some instances
to the very towns, whence we used to
import the same articles. The Dingley
tariff, warranted by the free traders to
kill the export trade previously built
up, has given 1t an unprecedented i'm
petus.

OLD DEMOCRACY A MEMORY.

OLD DEMOCRACH A
New York SUM-
The elements of the change of policies
that came in 1896 had been preparing
for some time, and Grover Cleveland's
administration of broken promises has
tened the hour of explosion. But to the
country at large the sudden ending of
the historical continuity of the Democ-
racy, the violent precipitation with
which the party rushed to threatening
extremes, was not less surprising than
sinister. The somersault shocked the
old-fashioned Democrats like the Nor
folk Landmark. Some of them will new
er get over it. Some of them still rub
their eyes and cannot believe it. Alt
geld, as a man who speaks his mind
and never wraps himself up in phrases.
seems particularly brutal and offensive
to the good old souls. What! This an
archist a Democrat! Never; there must
be some mistake. He has no right to
talk as he does. He has no right to REQ
resent the Democracy. Yet he is the
clearest, the most logical of the Demo-
Gratis. Bryan only follows muddy this
candid Democrat.
Altgeld's treatment of the old Demo-
cratic party is as summary as hanging.
but since "the new Declaration of indie
~pendence" was proclaimed at Chicago
the old Democracy is but a memory.
The Altgeldian Democracy, the Bryan
lite Democracy, has the name of the old
concern, but it has f1lched its principles
from the Populists.

The veterans of the civil war, both
south and north, will readily accept the
views of President U. S. Grant as ex-
pressed in his second inaugural address
on March 4. 1873, as follows:
Il say here, however, hat I do not
share in the apprehensions held by
many as to the danger Of governments
becoming weakened and destroyed by
reason Of their extension of territory.
Commerce, education, and the rapid
transit of thought and matter by tele-
graph and steam have changed all this.
Rather do l believe that u Great
Maker is preparing the world in his own
good time to become one nation, speak
ing n language, and when armies and
navies will be no longer required"
This statement was made in connec
ton with the recommendation that San
Domingo should be annexed to the
United States.

not take the bold, determined stand which
was to have been expected from Mr.. Hoar.
lie lays himself open to the suspicion Of
attempting sharp practice for the sake OF
his policy. If this campaign I'm the Philip
pines is unrighteous it should be condemned
now throughout the length and breadth of
the land No measurement of time or cir
cumstance can be applied to truth or jus
tice.
II. therefore, this war is evil why should
not Mr. Hoar encourage the holding of
public meetings now? Why should he not
advocate the most intense agitation in pro-
test? Why wait for the result to weigh for
or against the truth? 1t is plain that what
Mr.. Hoar means by disturbing influences"
as applied to his position and that of his
colleagues is the combination of public s.
timents in depreciation of domestic turmoil
in time Of war. Mr.. Hoar knows that the
people are impatient of agitation in favor
Of public enemy. He has no faith in the
Judgment of the people. He is higher
oracle. Therefore he deems it necessary TO
admonish the public to its duty. But he
prefers. a politician. to wait until the
occasion has passed in order to find pa
tient, though perhaps stubborn, audience.
Swiftly or slowly, this movement of pacifi-
ca5tion in the Philippines is to continue to
conclusion, and no one knows it better than
does Mr.. Hoar No enumerated denals no
hiGh-sounding propositions no oratorical
illusions to Washington and 'the fathers
viii suffice to change the belief of the peo-
pie that the duty of The nation in the Phil

The Samoan situation.

Comment official and OF hery-ise in Lon
DON Berlin and :n Washington. about the
Samoan crisis is all of an assuring char
acter. TIL. dominant note is that oi peace
There is no anger or heat. Everybody eX-
presses a desire for full nfOrTna ton This
of course insures that full information
will be fort Incoming. and that when it is re-
ceived will he acted on in spirit of wis
dom and discretion. Each of the three
powers has an important duty to perform.
and, fortunately for themselves and for the
world, all three are in the humor and in the
position to meet the emergency fairly and
fully.
The situation, in this aspect. calls for
thankfuInesS and for hearty praise. And
yet it is siupIy the situation demanded by
common sense. why should it be impos-
sibIe for tie' many and the United States
peaceably To compose their differences in
Samoa? We lid not like the German ad1ni-
rails maneuverS at Manila. and through
Admiral Dewey We promptly and very
clearly made the fact known. Germany
then withdrew. leaving us in charge of her
interests lherr. We accepted the trust,
and are guarding her interests today, as
faithfully a. may be There is no written
compact al Manila. but there is one be
tween the two governments. with Great
Britain also Il party. in existence and in
binding force in Samoa If without a COM
pact the two governments can get along
together. why not with a compact?
The Samoan arrangement has never given
satisfaction to anybody in interest. 1t is
trifie clumsy. and lends itself too readily to
MISUNDERSTANDING But a better one has
not suggested Itself and no really serious
effort has yet been made to devise better.
Maybe this latest episode will hasten such
an effort. That would make il a sort of
blessing. There is some difficulty about
Withdrawing. None of the powers wishes
to appear to confess failure by retreating
il the face Of the other two. The attitude,
so far. of each toward the other is this: Il
don't like this arrangement, but if You can
stand il / can.
What the ups].nt of it all should be the
early future must determine. That bit of
cannOnading has cleared the atmosphere as
TO the difficulties if not as TO the remedy

The reasons given why Mr.. Sherman of
New York will remain in Congress are
Creditable alike to his constituents and to
himself. He yields to their desires, and
will continue to serve them. They recognize
the value of the services he has already
rendered them, and want a man of expe-
rience at this time to hold their commits
sion in post of so much Importance and
responsibility. Their idea about the mat
ter is most decidedly correct. The man of
experience in Congress is a very valuable
man, and those constituencies are the best
served which upon proving a representa-
tiFe's worth avail themselves as long as
possible of it
That MIR. Sherman has decided wisely, as
we'll as with a due sense of gratitude to
the people who have honored him, is prob
ably beyond doubt The post of an APP
praiser at the port of New York is a de-
sirable one in many particulars, but it does
not rank with seat in the national House
of Representatives. That carries with it
opportunities for national usefulness which
To d man of Mr. Sherman's tastes and ca
pacities ought TO be at all times very al,ur-
ing. Mr.. Sherman has shown himself to
be at home in that field He has been
employed in ii for ten years. has achieved
distinction presiding officer and as a
committeeman. and yet is only forty-five.
One hears the pessimistic assertion now
and then that Congress is longer an in
vitlng arena for the brightest men. Why
not: Very much depends, of course, upon
what one has in view. But assuming that
a man desires TO distinguish himself, and
possesses ability and application and a
taste for public affairs, why is not Congress
as inviting ever? Why not more invit-
ing: The questions for discussion and de-
cision are growing larger every year. And
now that the United States is a recognized
world power the congressional arena takes
on an added Importance. One of the surest
paths TO the widest notice and to a long
remembrance will be the political path
leading TO Congress and its opportunities.
Plenty of the brightest men will continue
to find their way to Congress. The era is
one of many attractions for the ambitious
but Congress will continue to hold its own
as against all of them.

AguinRluo in Retreat.

That which was feared in connection with
the advance upon MalOlos has come TO pass.
Upon the approach of the American troops
Aguinaldo fed with the bulk of his forces
leaving the former capital smoking and
empty to receive the advancing army. Con-
sequently, in order To catch up with the
rebel leader and force him to accept bat
tie it will be necessary to interpose a bar
rier in his rear 10 bring him to a halt in
the retrograde movement which he has
adopted. 1t is evident that he has by this
time measured the quality of the American
army. He no longer boasts about his Prov
ess or his ability To march in triumph into
Manila His proclamations of late have
been mainly appeals to the Filipinos to
stay the advances of the Americans. He
is clearly perceiying that he cannot sweep
in victory TO the capital. The Americans
have shown a capacity to resist the heat
and to accommodate themselves to the
jungle. They have not been halted in any
of their forward movements While they
failed in one stratagem which had for its
object the hankins of a wing of the in
surgent army, they have not at single
point been unequal to the hard conditions
which the lighting ground has imposed
upon them.
Consequently. it is 10 be seen that Agui-
naldO, doubtless shrewd Judge of chances.
has concluded to rely h4nceforth upon a
purely defensive plan of campaign, which
he may be enabled to Conduct indefinitely
unless he is forced into the sea or into the
arms Of a secondary column thrown across
his path This latter enterprise Will prob
ably require more troops for it's accom-
pilshment than are now at Gen. Otis dis
pOsal, for it will involve the establishment
oil new base of supplies higher up on the
island and the maintenance of a strong
guard at all points on both lines as we'll
as at Manila to preyent surprises and
checks In view of the approach of the
rainy season ii would be the course of eau
tlon to give Gen. Otis more troops if he
should in any manner indicate that in his
Judgment they are to be desired. H seems
10 be at present quite confident of his abil-
lty 10 force the rebel leader to a final stand.
and the administration is wise in trusting
IN his judgment The man on the field is
ordinarily the best judge of his own needs

No ProIniscs to AEuinaIdo.

Occasionally a wall is heard from the
anti-expansion people that this government
has not dealt fairly with Aguinado, having
promised him independence in the days be-
fore the battle of Manila last May and
then proceeding to attach the archipelago
as American territory. Assuredly it would
be awkward situation for the United
States if it had actually given Aguinaido
such promises, if il had held out to him
with any degree of formality the hope of
definite independence for the Philippines.
But the fact is otherwise. The statement
that such assurances were given to the
TagaI leader in Hong Kong is repeated
with variations every few weeks. Some
times it comes from Hong Kong, sometimes
from one OF the Tagal committees in Eu-
rope. sometimes from some coadjutor of
Aguinaldo in the American nation But it
is always upon the authority of an inter-
ested person, usually that of Aguinaldo
himself. It has never been accompanied
by any substantial proof or even corrobora-
ton. One feature of this campaign of pre-
tense was the publication of what purport-
ed to be a photograph of Aguinaldo stand
ing alongside the American consul at Hong
Kong, with every evidence of close inti-
macy. 1t has since been demonstrated that
this photograph was fake, having been
created out of two photographs which were
united in an adroit manner.
In short, having once started on the pro-
gram of deception it became necessary for
| Aguinaldo to go to any length to justify
his claim that he had been promised inde-
| pendence and had been used as a tool to
| circumvent the Spaniards There were two
or three officers who might have ap-
preached the Tagal with such allurements,
! If they had been at all necessary These
were Admiral Dewey and the Hong Kong
| consul, and perhaps the former consul at
| Manila 1t is incredible that they should
| have bargained without the knowledge of
| the State Department. for they had abso-
| luteiy no jurisdiction over a matter which
| might and which actually did involve the
| grayest deliberations by both an interna-
\ tional assemblage and the Congress of
| the United States. The future of the Phil
| ippines was not a thing to be bartered
/ away or disposed of by them to a man who
| merely represented a certain suppressed
! revolutionary movement in the archipelago.
| Nor is it credible that they did consult the
State Department and secure permission to
| negotiate with this man on the basis Of
| American assurance of Independence. The
! fact that these officers have denied that
4 any assurances were given to Aguinaldo
] and that their denial Is reinforced by the
most positive official statements bearing on
