The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1899-1900, 1899-09-27

tne Bhhpe OF Congressman LentE, VINO I'll.
vided bis time between feryeut hopes for
the success Of AguInaldo, and, therefore, for
the ruin Of the American army In the Phil.
ipplnes, and the firmly expressed conviction
that the mantle Of Washington and Of Lin.
coin had fallen upon the shoulders of ex.
Governor Altgeld. Truly, Mr.. Bryan's new
dlspensation begins with a queer catalogue
of saints when they canoDize Agulnaldo as
q hero and Altgeld as a sage.
The combination 10 entirely appropriate.
Those who would encourage anarchy at
home most naturally strike hands with the
enemies Of our country abroad. The friend
Of the bornb.thrower and his apoloGists are
doing what 10 6t and mete when they strike
hands across the SECS with those who are
fighting our soldiers in foreign lands.
Fundamentally the causes which they cham
pion are the same. The step from encour-
aging the assassination Of the guardians of
the law at home to the aiding and abetting
of the shooting down Of our soldiers abroad
is but short one; and 1t matters little
whether the encouragement be given by the
exercise Of the pardonlng power, BY raving
speeches upon the platform, or by the cir
culation Of silly documents composed by
men too feeble to accomplish the mischief
they design.
