NOTHING MORE WANTED.
au.r,c.u PrinctpIcs Are All That Are Necessary i'm Haadlfng the
 Phil.rpsnes.

At She expansion mass meetings held n Chicago a set of resolutions intro Iuced by Gen. John c. Black, indorsing !he administration course in the Philippines as thus far developed, was unanimously adopted.
 The fifth of these resolutions declared ,s follows: "The government of the United States should be, and we be- Heve will be, true to its principles in The disposition of all questions that may rise in the future in our relationship with the people of the Philippine is lands"
 Every true American will heartily Ioin in this expressed hope for the maintenance of American principles in the ultimate solution of the Philippines problem. If those principles are up- held with steadfast faith, not only will such loyalty to the right do away with all danger arising from the existing sit nation, but it will add infinitely to the luster and glory of the American name, and will place this government forever beyond the reproach Of having cleaved to its principles only until tempted to their repudiation by sudden prospect of dazzling profit and power. which it was too weak in moral force to resist.
 A constant loyalty to American in- stitutions demands that now, as never before, this government shall announce to the otter great powers of the world the potency and the vitality of the Mon- roe doctrine as controlling it's interna- tional policy. Under that doctrine, since it was first formulated, the United States have consistently claimed control of affairs in the western hemisphere, forbidding the encroachments of mon- archical governments within this legit- mate sphere of American influence. American honesty in voicing and en. forcing the Monroe doctrine must be proved by a sturdy refusal to repudi- ate that doctrine, no matter what the .nducement.
 If the government of the United States is true to it's principles in the disposition of all questions that may arise in the future in it's relationship with the people of the Philippine is- lands," it will not permanently hold those islands as an American colonial possession. Such acquisition would be contrary to the spirit of the Monroe loctrine-a doctrine as binding upon us in honor, as it has heretofore been upon the land-hungry governments of the old world.-St. Louis Republic.

ALGER WILL STAY IN.
The Cabinet Incubus VIII Not be Affected by Public sentf-
 pueut.

The talk of Alger entering the sen- ate in succession to McMillan, of Mich igan, with the admission of Gen. Alger himself that the position would not be displeasing to him, although he would not scramble for il" has been taken as an indication that the secretary of war has concluded to do the president the kindness of slipping off his shoulders before the race for the presidency be- gins.
 The inference is unwarranted. Gen. Alger has publicly announced his deter imitation to retain his place in the cab inet until the end of President Mckin- ley's term unless the president turns him out, and if the president should take that radical step the man from Michigan will "know the reason why" and make matters warmer than the president cares to have them next year.
 Without doubt, should President Nc. Kinley be given a second term he will reconstruct his cabinet to the extent of one member at least, and Gen. Alger might not be invited to retain his seat at the council table. A seat in the sen ate would then be good place to shift to.
 Senator McMillan's term does not ex- pire until 1901, the senatorial and pres idential terms expiring together. If Alger should be elected senator he can still keep his promise to hold on to his seat in the cabinet to the last day of McKinley's term as president.
 Friends of Mckinley who hope to get the Michigan incubus off the presi- dents shoulders before the campaign of 1900 is under full headway are reck- oning without their Alger. He is neither to be coaxed, bluffed nor tricked out of his determination to have his own way and to hold on to whatever he has bought and paid for.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"CURRENCY REFORM"
Scheme of the Republicans to Place and Keep the Money Power
 in Control.

After much tribulation the house re- publican committee has, it is alleged, brought forth a scheme of currency "reform."
 This scheme is not so broad, nor so long as that devised by the Indianapolis "sound" money convention. It is . compromise and it will satisfy nobody.
 Briefly summarized, it is as follows:
 'The redemption of all obligations of the government in gold on demand.
 ''Greenbacks, when once redeemed for gold, to be reissued only for gold.
 Permitting national banks to issue notes to the par value of their govern ment bonds deposited in the treasury, instead of 90 per cent, as at present.
 Permitting the minimum capital of national banks to be s25 5000, instead of s50,000, as at present."
 There is nothing in this about mak- ing silver dollars redeemable in gold, nor is there suggestion of making all the outstanding obligations of this na- ton gold obligations.
 Neither is there hint of placing the issuing of paper money entirely in the hands of the banks.
 It seems that the house republican caucus committee was not prepared to approve wild cat" money secured only by the office furniture of the banking houses.
 It must not be concluded, however, that the schemes of the money power to place the gold standard absolutely in power will be abandoned.
 The plan suggested by the caucus is simply an entering wedge" Later on stronger methods will be advocated.
 If the republicans remain in power the wild cat" morey scheme will be urged, and if the house and senate can be controlled such a plan will finally be put into execution. The only hope for the people to escape slavery to the money power rests in the success of iemocracy.-Chicago Democrat.

Mckinley Wants to Omit.

Recent advices from the presidents Philippine commission indicate that MT. Mckinley is indeed anxious to '.let go of the bear" These outgivinps talk of autonomy" local self-govern. ment" and almost everything except empire and nailed-up flag. The thorough whipping of Aguinaldo's main force or the capture or surrender of the insurgent leader would in all probability be the signal for an end of the war. No attempt would be made to conquer the rest of the islands by force The war might have been averted if the presidents first proclamation had given any promise of freedom or even or autonomy to the inhabitants. In. stead of this it proclaimed the "soyer. eignty' of the United States and called upon the natives to submit" or be Killed. The responsibility for this cruel war cannot be escaped by MT. McKin- iey' but If he can decently get rid of the issue of subjugating, annexing and ruling the islands, as Mir. Carnegie an tleipates, he will no doubt do if with alacrity.-N. Y. World.

THE CAMPAIGN OUTLOOK.
Chances Are Good for De me. cratic Victory in Ohio
 Next Year.

Between Hanna and Foraker," says Ohio has a right smart chance to go democratic this year." Ohio democrats may fairly be congratulated on the favorable outlook, but there is mat ter that is of far greater general i'm portance than the result of this year s Ohio election, and that is as to how Ohio and some other states will go next year, when president of the United States and a new house of congress will be elected. Local democratic vic tories are desirable, but the democ- racy wants to score national victory next year, and it is to be observed that some leading republicans regard such an achievement as absolutely out of the question.
 Senator Hanna says that Mckinley win be renominated and reelected. and Senator Depew says the republic an party will have practically no op- position. Such talk as this carries little weight ordinarily, but these re- publicans expect the democrats to di- vide on national iSSues next year, as they did in 1896, and if this expecta- tion is reasonable, the forecasts of the probabilities in which these republican senators have permitted themselves is far from unreasonable. The democrats cannot expect to win if they are not united.
 It is to be hoped, therefore, that dem- ocratic victories in this years state elections will enlarge the possibility of democratic victory in next years na- tional elections. A party that sur vived 24-year period of exclusion from federal power and patronage can easily repeat that experience if it wishes to do so, but its members in general pre- fer that it should not wish to do so.- Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

MT. Mckinley is going to find it hard sledding to carry both Alger and the electoral college.-St. Louis Repub- lie.
 It is said that the anti-Hanna re- publicans of Ohio are as busy as bees. Contemplating their labors, Mir. Hanna is talking harmony. That's him you hear humming to the busy bees: Honey, do you love your man ?'-Al- bany Argus.
 Mark Hanna said that meeting of the republican national committee is unnecessary. There is nothing for the members of that organization to do but to carry out rhe orders of it's chair man, who is also the whole thing St. Louis Republic.
 -Secretary Alger announces for the half-dozenth time that he has no intention of resigning Why should he except upon the presidents invita- tion? It is too late to load up a scape- goat. Mir. Mckinley must carry the beef rings burden.-N. Y. World.
 The factional fight within the republican party of Ohio has been an interesting feature of the game of poli- tics for years and now that it threatens to rob the president of his own state delegation in next years convention it assumes national importance. The de- velopments of the state convention next month will be awaited with anxiety at the white house and with more than ordinary interest by politicians the country over.-Minneapolis Times.
 Sooner or later the attempt to hold and rule the Philippines as sub- Jugated colony must and will be given u1 for time and events are sure to demonstrate to the American people its utter folly and enormous cost both in blood and treasure. The sooner President Mckinley begins to study the problem of how to unload his Philip pine policy the better it will be for him. For unless he shall get rid of it betimes 1t IS sure to break his political neck.-- Grand Rapids Democrat.
