the British ambassador, last week, and
explaining to them Germany's attitude
regarding Samoa, Emperor William
sent instructions to the German am
bassadors in London and Washington
to the general effect that Germany con-
siders the new government in Samoa
illegal and the action of the British
and Americans clear violation of the
Samoan act. The report of the be-
havior of Admiral Kautz toward the
German cruiser Fake has given UNI
bragg throughout the empire and it is
considered certain that, If the report
is confirmed, the United States will
readily admit Germanys right to salts
faction and will repair Admiral Kautz's
errors. II is hoped, however, that the
accounts are exaggerated.

Slain by Rioters.

In riot which broke out on the
main streets of Pana, ILL.,, in front of
the telegraph Office, between white
and black miners, in which deputy
sheriffs took part, five men and one
woman were killed. Nine persons
were wounded, several SO seriously that
they will probably die. The cause OF
the riot was the calling out of 100 dep
uty sheriffs in the Flatham and Pen
well mining districts to protect sew
eral families of Negroes that were en-
deavoring to load household effects
preparatory to leaving for Iowa. The
goods they were moving were said to
belong to the Pana Coal Co., who had
placed guards over their property to
prevent the Negroes from getting
away with it.

PRESIDENT
In the meantime the Federalists and
Republicans We're marshalhng their
forces for the Presidential contest Of
1900. The conservative and mediatory
influence Of Washington had been with
drawn, and party spirit ragged untramell-
ed
The press was in the hands Of the
Federalists. and Jefferson the mark at
which all their arrows were aimed. He
was pictured as an atheist, libertine. a
monster in human form. One of the
fayOrite charges against him was that
he was an ally Of Napoleon Bonaparte,
the Corsican tyrant. The political
preacher had already appeared in the
Presidential canvass, and although not
so alliteratiye as III modern times, was
equally as sensational
The great preacher then In New York
was DR. John Mason, and he was
shocked beyond measure 10 find from
the 'Notes on Virginia that Jefferson
had doubts as to there having been n
universal deluge. Some days before
the election DR.. Mason published Il
pamphlet entitled. The Voice Of Warn
ing to Christians on the Ensuing Elec-
tion." in which he exclaimed: "Christian,
expected to elevate to the chief ma eis-
tracy insults yourself and your Bible"
We can imagine what sort Of narti-
san this reverend politician must have
been when we learn that In one of his
sermons he paused and with uplifted
hands and eyes burst into prayer:
Send us. if Thou wilt. murran upon
our cattle, famine upon our land.

continent.
We hear now strange doctrines from
some who claim to be Democrats We
are told that if the party fails to de-
clare in its National Platform for af-
frmative action on Il single issue, its
members should desert the flag and
follow after strange gods
No Democrat. who honestly reveres
the doctrines and teachings of Jeffer-
son. can be Il Republican or popuHst.
The Republican party of today is the
lineaI political descendant OF the old
Federalists, and holds to the doctrine of
Hamilton. that this is Government of
unlimited powers, and that Congress can
do anything it deems necessary for the
general welfare.
The POpulists believe that the Gov
eminent is Il great eleemosynary insttu-
ton, and that it should support the peo-
pie. instead of the people supporting
the Government.
The Democratic party holds that there
should be no partnership between the
Government and any individual or class
but that all the benefits and burdens OF
the Government should be equally and
justly distributed. every citizen being
protected in life, liberty and property,
and made the architect of his own for
tune
1t holds that NIL property should be
taxed in proportion to the protection re-
cciyed from the Government; and 1t does
not believe i'll the system under which
Mr.. Vanderbilt pays no more upon his
hundreds of millions to support the Ma
tional Government, than does the poor
est citizen who must in war risk ife and
limb to protect these millions.
The Democratic party is national. not
sectional, and cannot exist on one issue.
1t is coexiStent with the whole Union
and with the autonomy Of our Govern
ment.
You may believe in the single gold
standard and | in the free coinage of
silver ut the ratio of Is to /, but if
we are ,lefferSonian Democrats, there
is no other political home for us than
the old party which has existed for Il
hundred years in peace and war, sun
shine and shadow in every Township.
County and State of the entire Union.
To abandon this PARTY now because
of difference on one question I'm Ma
tional Convention is to desert the flag
in the face of an enemy because a coun-
ell of war has Numbered in directing
the campaign.
The Democratic party is the only OBJ
stacle to the supremacy of the Federal
list ideas of Hamilton, and the man who
deserts its flag gives aid ana comfort
to those who maligm the character ana
teachings of Jefferson.
