WHO ARE THE ANTS?


the republican party take
courage and count upon victory
next year as a certainty. 1t
finds it's comfort in the fact that
the democratic party will go
into the campaign under the
antitrust, anti-anuexation,
anti-imperialism and inti-gold
standard banner, and that mo
ants ever succeeded"-that the
people want positive declara-
tons. The Tribune says posi-
tive declarations made the re-
publican party great and
powerful, but il it will stop to
think it will discover that it's
party was born of subterfuge,
deception and sophistry. The
republican party came into ex-
istence in 1856 as an anti-Slav-
cry party, but gave no hint as
to how the slaves were to be
liberated or how they we've to
be provided for afterward. 1t
also announced itself as an
anti-union party if slavery was
to be perpetuated. 1t was an
anti.supreme court party. so
far as the Dred-Scott decision
was concerned. Between 1861
and 1868 it was an anti-peace
party, except upon terms of it's
own making, In 1870 it began
to unfold as an anti-free silver
coinage party.
In 1862 it passed the Morrill,
high protection bill because it
was an anti-industrial competi-
ton measure. This anti-compe-
tition policy has grown until
the industries have a monopoly
of every article tf consumption.
In 1898 it was an anti-silver
purchase party and in 1896, as
in all former years, it was an
anti-truth-telling party, and to-
day it is an anti.constitution,
nti-Declaration of Independ-
ence, anti. Filipino autonomy
and anti-human freedom party
AS ants the republican bosses
are pretty we'll loaded with
negative theories, as the Trib-
une would put it. But the par
ty now has some very positive
declarations.
1t stands pat for Imperialism,
for unwilling subjects in lieu of
unwilling slaves, for robbing
other people of their territory.
for butchering people who re-
fuse to accept military rule, for
trusts, for monopolies, for gov
eminent subsidies for private en-
terprises, for refusing the mails
to citizens of the United States
when it likes, for sending fed
eral soldiers to quell neighbor-
hood broils, for the elimination
Of state lines, for class legisla-
ton for its rich friends, for the
burden Of the taxes to fall upon
the laboring masses-for every
thing in fact that the god of re-
publics has always been care
full to warn the people to be-
ware of. But the Tribune will
make stupid mistake if it goes
into the next campaign believ
ing that there is nothing posi-
tive" IN the democratic party's
antitrust, anti-imperalism, an

ing OF a st."
In some quarters an effort is
being made to create the i'm
preston that silver coinage is
to be abandoned and a modified
platform presented to the
people.
This talk comes from
the enemies of the De-
mocracy. To win in 1900 we
must present an honest, I'M
compromising front to- the ad-
yocates of the single gold
standard.
Not only must there be a
courageous stand for silver
coinage but there must be no
compromise on the ratio.
This will not prevent the
Democracy from waging a
vigorous war on trusts and i'm
periaiism. The people in con-
sidering these new questions
will not abandon the principles
of bimetallism.
The republican party stands
for the gold standard, for the
trusts and for imperialism.
The Democracy will wage an
uncompromising war on all
these principles and will ask

NATIVES DRIVEN OUT OF A CITY.
San Fernando Cleared of All Persons
Except Property Owners.

L1CGpC Properly oWHCESs
Word has been received by the War
Department that Gen. Macarthur, at
San Fernando, has issued orders exclud-
ing from that town all persons who do
not own property. Several hundred ma
tives were affected by this order. Great
excitement accompanied it's carrying out.
The guards formed a line extending
across the village and under rigid sur
Vigilance the natives were forced to
march out. The natives were allowed to
take what they could carry. With un-
renting vigilance the work was carried
on till all were gone.
Most of those expelled were Macabe-
hes. They have always been thought
friendly to the Americans. Gen. Mac
Arthur finally came to the conclusion,
however, that expulsion was necessary,
owing to their insincerity. They were
suspected of plot to massacre the gar
rison. This is the inauguration of new
policy in the Philippines.

IN HONOR OF DEWEY.
A Magnificent Arch to Be Built in
New York.

A Magnificent Arch to Be Built IN
New York.
When Dewey reaches New York in
October he will find among the many
decorations in his honor triumphal arch
and colonnade at Fifth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. 1t will require the
work of twenty or thirty sculptors for
several weeks to complete the work and
enough have volunteered to make certain
the erection of the arch. They will work
gratis. Were they to charge at the pro-
fessional rate, the arch would cost $780,
600; as it is only the material will have
to be paid for-which means SlO,UOO.
The material will be "staff," like the
peristyle at the Chicago Worlds Fair.
The arch is to be on the general lines
of the Arch of Titus, but having in eff
feet four piers instead of two, the long
piers being pierced through the sides. At
one end of the colonnade subsidiary
sculptural groups representing the army
and the navy are to be placed, and at
the other end similar groups representa-
tive of the East and West Indies. These,
emphasizing the colonnade, will only en-
nance the effect of the arch itself, at
which the main sculptural adornment
will be focused or concentrated. The
enrichment of the arch is to symbolic

and New York's Importance as the coun-
