There are some people who wouldat
allow a common person to criticise a
government or the men conducting a
war because they are long ways of and
are not supposed 20 know as much as
the..men right in the conflict. Well,
that will not down in this country. The
strength of our government is in the
freedom OF the prees and OF the masses
to discuss all publis matters freely.
Cenaorships lead to despotlsm and are
imperiaIistic In character. Free speech
and free press are necessary to our
form Of government, and those who love
it best will never gainsay this right
There are things tending towards imper-
ialism which our people should always
Oppose as dangers that menace our free
Institutions.

Likewise great many others. Bat IL il
not at all likely that the admiral will
ever consent to run for Office, though a
presidential bee sometimes getsto buzz

those who wish to run him for office are
in both parties the:matter 10 decidedly
mixed and can only end in confusion i.
When the conventions have met it will
be learned in all probability that the two

that the case of the Philippine islands is
a peculiar one. The islands we're taken
from Spain that owned them with war
on its hands and were paid for. The
original taking Of them by Dewey was
proper az part of the Spanish war; but
when that was settled it was the duty o.
the United States as republic to con-
suit the Wishes of the people and as
much as possible assist in forming
government for the people, without
splitting hairs as to their capacity for
self-government, retaining such dicta.

should justify. Had Otis used good
judgment The matter might have been
eettIed without resort to arms, notwith-
standing the TACT that there has been
much to make it appea: that Aquinaldo
was the hireling Of some foreign power.
When war was once precipita.ed then it
became the duty of Americans to back
the government in the contest, which
hould be as speedily ended as possible.

Under the head OF blow at FTe'

men.s heretofore expressed by the DEa-
eCRAT:
War ia imminent in South Africa
Whoever may commit the first overt act
che war il it comes will be the direct and
deliberate result of England's aggres-
sions upon the Trsnsvaai republic.
It will be blow at Freedom, q crime,
against Liberty, an assault upon the
right Of -self-6overnment.
1t is az inevitable as it 10 right that in
such war the sympathy cf all true
Americans will be with the Boers and
agalnst the British. Our history. our
traditions, the breath of our own Decla-
ration Of Independence, the very in
stincts of our natures 40 free men,
prompt Us now az always they have done
in ths past to side with the oppressed
against the oppressor, with the weak
against the strong, with those who bat
Gle for freedom and for the right OF every
people to govern itself against those who
deny and assail that right.
Ii 10 time for this sympathy to find
expression. Let it net be said that the
people OF the United States stood dumb
while great empire sought the life Of

A HOLIDAY SUGGESTION.

1PON publication Of the orders OF the War De
| partment instructng the quartermaster general
- to forward free OF charge from San Francisco
all boxes OF Christmas presents which may arrive
here prior to November for officers and soldiers
in the Philippines. some OF our Eastern contempo-
rares at once pointed to the express companies
tina. they could make great hit by agreeing to
transport the boxes free OF charge to this city
What has been the effect OF the hint upon the
express companies of the East we have not heard
AS rule express companies do not try to make
that kind of hit at the public Their aim is at the
public purse and they count nothing hit that does
not touch it. The chances are that so far from carry
ing Christmas gifts for the at the front free OF
charge they have not even consented to pay the war
tax by affixing stamps the receipts they give to
the shippers
Whatever may have been its effect in the East the
suggestion is a good 1t has holiday liberaity
and wholesome Christmas cheerfulness about it. and
therefore we recommend it to the attention OF the
Wells Fargo Company. Between now and the goth
of the month there is ample time for good many
Christmas presents to be sent from Pacific Coast
points to San Francisco be forwarded to the sol
diers. The express company people, while scorning
to pay war taxes are not averse to being known as
philanthropiss. Doubtless they would also like to
be known as patriots. The number OF presents sent
to Manila will not be very large nor will their weight
be considerable Here then is an opportunity for the
express company to show that not just in all things
it can at least be generous in some things
We repeat the suggestion of our Eastern contem-
poraries therefore with our cordial Endorsement.
having no doubt it will be received by the express
managers in California in the same spirit with which,
it was received in the East
