things at our doors had become intoi-
erable we took up arms to redress
wrongs already too long endured,
without thought in any mind of con-
quest or aggression. But no one can
control the issues of war. Porto Rico
and the Philippines are ours, and the
destinies of Cuba are for the moment
intrusted to our care. It is not per-
mitted us to shirk the vast RESPONSE
bilities thus imposed upon us without
exhibiting nerveless pusillanimity
which would bring upon us not only
the scorn Of the world. but what is
far worse, our own self-contempt. But
as we did not seek these acquisitions
which came to us through the irre-
sistible logic of war--we are not striv-
ing anywhere to acquire territory or
extend our power by conquest. 1t is
no secret that in more than one quar-
ter outlying territory only awaits our
acceptance. but every overture Of this
nature has been. and, l am confident,
will be declined. The whole world
knows that we are not covetous Of
land; not chancery in Europe sees
in US an interested rival In their
schemes of acquisition. What Is ours
we shall hold; what is not ours we do
not seek. But in the field of trade and
commerce we shall be the keen COM
petitors Of the richest and greatest
powers, and they need no warning to
be assured that in that struggle we
shall bring the sweat to their brows.
1t was written of old that a mans
foes shall be Of his own household.
The simple fact is that at this moment
the whole world is our friend except
certain leaders of the Democratic
party. All countries crowd into our
markets, but our opponents say our
tariff is barbarous. Our achievements
in war have received the ungrudging
praise of foreign nations, and meet
with unjust and carping criticism only
at home. All other countries bid us
godspeed in the work of bringing or
der and civilization to the Philippines,
and it was left to a man in Cincinnati
the other day to wish that "Otis and
MS army might De swept INTO the sea.
1t is hard to exterminate rooted ten
dency-the Proverbs say something
about braying in a mortar. The party
which, by vicious leadership in 1861.
was made to place itself across the
path of freedom and progress should
take care not to follow the lead this
year of men as, lacking in sagacity as
they are in patriotism. But we may
take comfort in the reflection that no
leaders can carry all their party into
courses their judgment must condemn
and their hearts reject. There are,
thank God, many Democrats in Ohio
who do not desire the humiliation of
their country or the dishonor of their
flag.
Yours faithfully, JOHN HAY.

PRESIDENTS PHILIPPINE POLICY,

We thank President Mckinley for his
manly declaration of his policy in regard
to the Philippines, and give II all the
prominence we can. In . speech deliv-
cred at Ocean Grove, N. j., last week the
President Said:
"Piety and patriotism 60 we'll together.
Love of country and love OF flag are not
inconsistent with religious faith. More
people love our country and our flag
to-day than ever before. Wherever that
flag 10 raised it stands not for despotisin
and oppression, but for liberty, oppor-
tunity and humanity. What that flag
has done for ms It Will do for all people
and for all lands which by the fortunes
of war have come within our Jurisdiction.
'That flag does not mean one thing In
the United States and another thing In
Porto Rico and the Philippines. There
has been some doubt expressed In this
icy in connection with the Philippines
1 see no harm in stating 1t In this pres
ence. Peace first, then. with charity for
all establish a government Of law and
order, protecting life and property and
occupation for the we'll being OF the.
people governments In which they
participate under tho Stars and stripes."

MLEANISM AN ISSUE
90 THE DEMOCRATS INVITE A COM.
PARtSON7

The Abuse of Senator Hanna By LoLsau
Recalls the Washington Gas MIaenats's
Record, Which II Years Absence From
Ohio Has Not Obliterated.
In signed statement, published BY
7 The GAINESVILLE Signal, John R. Mclean,
the Democratic nominee for governor,
says
Before the campaign. that will open
shortly, Is over. Mr.. Hanna and the
forces that are behind him in Ohio will
appreciate that they have bigger task
on their hands than on any other occa-
sion since he became the supreme boss
OF Republican politics. Ohio is good
fighting ground this year. The people
are in revolt against Hanna for his
tyranny and brutality, against McKin-
ley for his subversion of the priciple
on which American independence was
founded, and against the Republican
party for its pandering to the infiu-
ences that are hostile to every interest
of the people.
1t is surprising that such a declara-
tion should be made by a man with
McLean's known political record The
people of Ohio have not forgotten the
Cincinnati riots. They have not for
gotten the notorious tally-sheet frauds
OF 1885, of which John R. Mclean was
to have been the chief beneficiary
They have not forgotten the ruthless
manner in which the best men of the
Democratic party have been cut down
to satisfy the personal caprice of man
who, by lavish use of money alone has
dominated it's conventions.
Does the Washington boss imagine,
since he removed from Ohio IA years
ago, that his political record has pass
ed out of the minds of the people
Does he desire to set up Mechanism as
an issue against "Hannaism?" If so,
II SO, the Republicans stand ready to
take up the gauntlet. Mr.. Hanna has
never bought up a Highland house
convention. He has never ruled any
city in the interests of lawlessness and
crime. He has never been compelled
to leave the state to evade response
| bility for election frauds. Mr.. Hanna
stands before the people as fearless
party leader, in whom the majority
have voted their confidence to fill the
highest office they have the privilege
to confer.
| The Republicans have no desire to
place personal issues over the great
questions of national policy, which de-
mand the serious thought of the people
or over stasa issues, which the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor pretends
are paramount to national questions
in this campaign, but if that is the in
tention of Mclean and his mana gers
the Republicans stand ready to meet
it Vigorously and fearlessly.
! IS between Mechanism and Han.
ns..sm" the Republicans have nothing
to fear, and if the campaign is to be
fought out on that issue they are
ready for the fray and willing to stand

Kilbourne's Real Feeltpps.

The GAINESVILLE Times Recorder
vouches for the following significant
remark, which doubtless indicates how
Colonel Kilbourne really feels toward
Mclean:
AS Colonel Kilbourne paid his bill
at the Clarendon one week ago today,
he said: "Well, this seems like pret-
ty stiff reckoning for me under the cir
cumstances, but this is not the only
score that will be settled from yester-
days doings. / look for Judge Nash
to carry the state by 100000 votes this
fall"

OHIO q. viewed by Outsiders.

Ohio is too rich. too sound. too pros
porous, too busted in productive indus
tries, to lend a serious ear to Demo-
cratic clamor for a debased and cheap

servative. too broad-minded and too
patriotic to condemn policy, military
and civil, in the Philippines to which
the administration was driven by

Setting up Indian republics would

The Charleston IN. c. News and
Courier is one of the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers of the South. Its
hatred of the Republican party is we'll
known. 1t is the organ of the anti-ex.
pansionists in the Southeast. The fol-
lowing editorial utterance Is a sample
of the sentiment it seeks to spread
"The United States flag lost all its
original beauty and significance when
it crossed the Potomac in 1861, and it
received indelible stains when it was
raised over Hawaii and Porto Rico,
but it never appeared so mean and ugly
perhaps. as where it flaunts itself as an
emblem of liberty and of civilization
and Christianity over the capital Of the
ravaged Philippines"
1t is almost incredible that the anti
expansionists should have spread the
above broadcast as they have done.
What must Ohio soldiers of the Union
who followed that flag across "the Po-
tomac in 1861" think Of vulgar, insult
ing, traitorous 'anti-expansionists
like the man who wrote the above and
his fellows?

THE DIG FIGHT TONIGHT.
Ftz FavOrite In betting, hut Plenty
OF JeFries Money.

NEW YORK, June S.-Everything is in
readiness for the big fight tomorrow
night. between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim
Jeffries. and, with the possible exception
of police interference, or an unlocked
for accident TO either one Of the princi-
pals. the fight will take place as scheduled
in the arena of the Coney Island Sporting
Club.
Brady and Julian seem TO be confident
that the contest will be permitted to go
TO a decision without any Interference
so far as the legal authorities are con-
cerned.
Fitzsimmons is still a prime favor
lite in the betting, but there is plenty
Of Jeffries money in sight, and while no
large wagerS have as yet been recorded
there is no doubt that with growing con-
fidence in the ability of the promoters
to pull off the mill successfully the bet
ting will assume large proportions by to-
morrow night.
CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
Everything was practically at a stand
still to-day at the training quarters Of
both pugilists both men doing very lit
tie work Jeffries punished the bag for a
few minutes. and after a brief spell OF
practice with the medcne-ball skipped
the rope a couple OF hundred times.
George Siler, Of Chicago. who is to
referee the contest was one of the visi-
tors at the cottage by the seashore to-
day. Referee Siler was accompanied by
his wife. who told Jeffries that she
had bet a new bonnet on his chances
When asked with whom she had the bet
she laughed and said: "A very. dear
friend Of mine who will pay for the bon

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA?
London Papers Talking Seriously of
Its possibility,

LONDON, June S.-The morning papers
are beginning TO talk quite seriously Of
the possibility of war in South Africa.
Mr.. Chamberlain, Secretary of State Tor
the Colonies, in his speech In the House
of Commons yesterday announced that
his reply to the petition of the Uitlanders,
which had been held back pending the
result OF the conference at Bloemfontein,
would now be presented TO the Trans
vaal. This reply Is semi-oficially de-
scribed as explicit, but conciliatory,"
but it is believed TO be in the nature Of
a practical ultimatum. The resources OF
diplomacy are regarded as exhausted,
with the failure OF the conference. No
thing is left, it is felt, but recourse
10 force.
THE SITUATION DANGEROUS.
LONDON, June S.-The advices re-
ceived here from South Africa, emanating
from British sources, show more COM
pletely the utter failure of the recent con-
ference between President Kruger and
the British High Commissioner, Sir Al
fred Miner.
The London afternoon papers all refer
to the dangerous situation. Throughout,
il is added, President Kruger sought To
use the franchise proposals as means
of obtaining a promise 10 settle the diff
ferences under The convention by arbitra-
ton. but the British commissioner refused
10 treat the two subjects as the President
intended, taking the ground that Internal
reform I'm the Transvaal was necessary
in any case, in order TO preserve the IN
dependence of the republic, and as re-
CARDS arbitration, there were certain
questions upon which IL could not be adj
mitted while on other questions arbitration
was possibly admissible, provided suit
able tribunal was suggested, not inyolVlng
which the British Government would
never allow,
