Will Be

Notwithstanding the overwhelming de-
and his side p~artnerJones, the democratic
newspapers profess to gather a little
political comfort out of the claim that
Nash, the governor-ekct, did not receive
a majority of all the votes, cast in the
Ohio election. They speak of the non
republican vote as if it We're democratic
property to be combined at will and
cast for the bourbon nominees in 1900.
They overlook the fact that five tickets
We're in the field in Ohio, and that Nc
Leans millions were not influential
enough to align them under the demo-
cratic banner.
Finding it impossible to secure the
labor vote and the social labor vote for
himself, clean did all that it was pos
sible for money to accomplish in the
way of making such political ~organiza-
ions destructive of republican strength
in various localities in the state. A very
large republican vote could be DETECTED
vi noo III NY Gpi Ills MS AldSOI
Jones as an Independent candidate for
governor, which was accordingly done
through the connivance of Mclean.
But all these crooked political devices
came to naught. Nash was elected by
an overwhelming vote and the admin;s-
tration of President Mckinley was vim
Dictated. The more sensible democratic
spa are inclined to take the stu
alton somewhat philosophically, how
ever, the stalwart Chicago Chronicle ex-
pressing itself as follows:
1t is not necessary for the republicans
to hold a national convention for the
nomination of a presidential candidate
nor to adopt a national platform. 1t
would be an idle form. Mckinley is al
ready the republican candidate for presi-
dent by the unanimous will of that party,
and he is it's platform. The republicans
in the states which they carried have vim
Dictated his war policy. That covers the
whole case.

IS Mr.. DAILY Ill?

Telegraphic advices from reliable
Ill in the city of New York. The Inter
Mountain has published these reports.
and has every reason to believe they are
correct. They are as we'll verified as
other ~telegraphic matter of a similar
type. There certainly is nothing un-
reasonable, unlikely. improbable or mir
aculous in their statements. AS a hui
man being, Mr.. DAILY is subject to the
ills that flesh is heir to, and he is no
more likely to be reported i'll when he
IS Well, than he is to be reported we'll
when he is i'll.
Were it not for his position of COM
manding influence in the business and
political affairs Of this state, the ques-
ton of his health would be of immediate
concern to his personal friends alone
as is the case with the ordinary man. But
his environments are such that the pub
lie not only feels an interest in his well
fare but has a right to know his condi-
ton, when circumstances seem to indi-
cate something out of the usual run. In
giving the news which it received to the
public. the Inter Mountain exercised not
only a right but a duty.
However,, the Anaconda STANDARD
takes exceptions to the reports concern
ing Mr.. Days health, and characterizes
them as "tirades of abuse" 1t comports
itself in such a way as to Indicate that
the publication of the kilograms referred

WELCOME case now in progress! It

links the two propositions, as if their
relevancy was established. The public
will be at a loss to understand this, and
will be forced to the conclusion that the
Standard has somehow gotten it into its
head that the success of it's fight against
the world, the flesh and the devil. de-
ponds upon advance knowledge of Mr..
Days ability to work the political ma
chine next year. 1t seems to fear that
the report of that gentleman's unfortu-
nate illness may discourage the work of
reform, which is supposed to be proceed
ing on it's merits.
1t is not so much the fact that Mr..
DAILY is i'll hat disconcerts the Standard,
but the fact that the fact is known.
Hence, it's spluttering criticism because
the Inter Mountain published the news.
If it should happen, in the good fortune
of things, hat Mr.. Days illness is of
brief DURATION, all will rejoice thereat;
and the Inter Mountain hopes to shortly
see him again at the helm of the great
enterprises that have made the state as
we'll as himself fan1ous the world over.
But for the Standard to construe the
statements concerning his health as a
"tirade of abuse in connection with the
Welcome case, is an evidence of Journal
istic senility of the most advanced type.

GOOD

The bourbon press will regret to see as
good a democrat as General Joseph
Wheeler predicting early peace in the
Philippines, and saying all manner of
good things about the islands,. True, the
latest dispatches from Manila indicate
that Aguinaldo is surrounded and that his
capture seems probable within a short
time. He has, at least, been definitely
is equivalent to his early downfall. Cen
eral Wheeler has looked over the field
with the eye of a coEnessieur and this is
! what he has to say:
The Philippine archipelago is a remark
able group of islands, fertile in soil and
opulent in mineral deposits. God has
blessed the country with great natural
wealth, but its Inhabitants have thus far
failed to realize the multiplicity of OPP
~portunities open to them. From their dis
covery to the present time little progress
has been made in developing the SEEM
ingly unlimited resources OF these is
lands. This is because the natives, a
mixture of many races Ia never been
taught thrift and enterprise. But they

push and energy this fall will crush out

cans would tear them to pieces. All that
is necessary to crush them out at once is

them until the work is done. The evil
features of these islands have been exag-
gerated to our people. Their extent is so
great from north to south and the varia-
ton of the altitude is such thai there is a
great variety of climate and variety of
productions. Americans will find this an
excellent field for their energies and the
Wealth-producing powers of these islands
under American influences will be very
great.
1t has been often stated that these DeO-
pie are revolutiOnists; that they have al
ways been so. This is not sustained by
history, which, | think. shows conclusive
ly that they are inclined to peace. even
under great oppression. 1t is this uueS-
ton | desire TO discuss. From the dis
covery of the Philippines to the year 1919
there is no record of any instructions of
these people against the Spaniards. TAX
ing the entire record on this subject we
can safely say that the Filipinos are not
an insurrectionary people. When the
present revolt against the United States
is subdued it is probable hat lawless
bands will rob and plumber to some ex-
tent, but the perpetrators are generally
known by the people and with energy can
be hunted down, n prompt punishment
will finally stop this evil.
The action of some people in the United
States in asserting that the people Of the
Philippines ought to have independence
does a great deal of harm and assists
Aguilando in maintaining the insurrec-
ton, as he publishes all assertions by
Americans of that character and he tells
his supporters that if they hold put until
winter independence will be given them.
1t also has a bad effect in this-that the

THE 3 SITUATION.

Major General Fitzhugh Lee, whose
democracy cannot be doubted, has pub
lished a entitled THE Future Of
Cuba" in which he discusses the situa-
ton at some length and with the utmost
FAIRNESS. His statements are in con-
trast with those of the ignorant bourbon
newspapers, which assume to be thor
oushly posted on all the great problems
or government. General Lee does not
cfltlclse the course of the dministra

difficulties encountered by the federal

M'LEAKAS 4 HAS-BEEK.

Some men are constitutionally out of
luck in a political way, despite the IA
vors which good fortune showers upon
them in other directions. John II. Nc
Lean appears to belong to that great
class of men who fail to make direct on
nections with available political oppor-
tunities. With millions at his COM
mand he has been trying for years to Sc
cure a foothold on the pedestal Of fame,
but has been met all turns with the
most discouraging failures.
In 1896 he was on the verge of a vice
presidential nomination, and the prize
seemed literally within his grasp. when,

Sewall Of Maine was selected as Bryan's
running mate. This year, as the dem
ocratic candidate for governor of Ohio,
he doubtless dreamed Of a speedy reali-
cation Of the national prominence for
which he hungered. But his great
wealth was unable to float him on the
upper wave. The deadly undertow Of
fate drew him under, and now he is look
ed upon as one Of the best developed has
beens in the country. The Chicago
Chronicle, recognized as a leader among
the great democratic ~ewspape in the
west, has this to say Of the late Buckeye
tandard bearer:
Through barren Of political results, it
is sometimes instructive to consider what
might nave been. The result shows
that the nomination of John r. Mclean
for governor of Ohio by the democrats
was a mistake. It revived the ancient
hates caused by his hostility to Thur
man, Pendleton and other great demo-
cratic leaders. He was not regarded as
a citizen Of Ohio. The same charges
We're made against him that were made
against Hanna, and other causes pre-
vented him from receiving a vast vote
which a different democratic candidate
might ave received. His nomination
gave the republicans an easier victory
than they expected. OF course his de-
feat takes him permanently out of poll
tics.

SAVED ACA/K.

Had the prophecy of DcFalb, the emin.
ent Vienna scientist, proved correct, the
entire world. including the Welcome case
and the Anaconda Standards art depart
ment, would now be doing business again
with the nebula hypothesis.
Some years ago, DeFalb predicted an
earthquake that arrived on schedule time
no essential feature of the programme
being omitted.
He at once bounded into notoriety, and
when he later foretold a tornado or two
that kept their appointments his fame
was worth one hundred cents on the dol
lar.
But the tidal aves arranged for in
August last failed to make direct con-
nections, and somehow got lost in the
shuttle.
The indications are that the end of the
same fate.
1t was the theory Of DeFalb that Biela's
comet would collide with the earth. Our

everybody would have been getting ready
to so out of business permanently.
Fortunately, however, the eminent sci
enlist made a mistake, as eminent scient-
lists often do, and the world joys along to-
day just as if it never had an escape in
it's life.
The fact is, there is no occasion for
alarm, whatever predictions of this type
may be made.
Conditions in nature are such that a
very slight disarrangement Of the eternal
