A Test Vote.

1WO weeks from to-day there will
be an election in Missouri for
the congressional seat occupied
by the late Mr. Bland. More than local
significance attaches to this election for
the reason that the lines have been
squarely drawn for and against the ad-
minstration's Philippine policy. The
democrats in their platform declare
that 1--WE are unreservedly opposed to
the militarism and imperialism of Pres
ident Mckinley" while the republican
resolutions say: I'VE believe it to be
the duty of congress, as declared by our
president, to establish a form of gov
ernment suited to the needs of all the
inhabitants of the territory that the
providence Of Almighty God and the
fortunes of war have brought under our
control" The district is safely demo-
cratic under normal conditions-that
Mr. Blands successor will be a demo-
Crat there is no reasonable doubt Ow-
ing to the time of year at which the
election is held there is no expectation
of a heavy vote, but both sides are en-
deavoring to make as good a showing
as possible, and unless local issues play
a part the election will be a pretty fair
test of Missouri sentiment regarding
latter-day Mckinleyism.

that time. In order to avoid conflicts
between them a north and south line
of demarcation, by which the undis-
covered parts of the world were di-
vided between them, was drawn in
1494. $40 leagues west of the Cape Verde
islands, all the heather lands east of
of this line to belong to Portugal, and
all to the west of the line to go to
Spain. Under this division and by the
work of her navigators Portugal OBJ
tanned her claim to Brazil, the greater
part of the rest of the new world, as 1t
was in the hundred years after Colum-
bus being appropriated by Spain.
The four centuries which have passed
since those expansive days, when Spain
and Portugal were dividing up the
greater part of the world with each
other, have made havoc of the preten-
sions of both. Relatively to the great
nations of to-day both are of less ac-
count in the political affairs of the
world than Pisa, Venice and Genoa
were in the days before the capture
of Constantinople. Portugal has
population of about 100000 in Europe
and about as much more in its depen-
denotes in Asia and Africa, while in
territorial area Spain has virtually
been reduced to the dimensions which
she had at the time that Columbus
started on his voyage of discovery.
England and France, in the days when
Columbus and Da CANA We're travers-
ing the worlds undiscovered waters,
had yet to enter upon the period of
their greatness: Russia was Asiatic
rather than European in its ideas and
civilization, Italy was only a 'geog-
raphical expression" the Holy Roman
empire was dropping into that condi-
ton described by Voltaire when it was
neither an empire nor Roman nor holy.
and the days of the United States
were still far in the future. 1t is
long time since Francis l. asked to see
the will in which Father Adam be-
queathed the earth to Spain and Portu-
gal and ruled France out. The CEN
turtles that have passed since then have
left but little of the earth's surface in
the possession of either of these two
nations. The coming celebration of the
400th anniversary of Da Gama's epoch
making voyage will evoke gloomy re-
Elections in Lisbon and wherever Portu-
guese are found all over the world.

der is being pushed with commendable
zeal.
There is good reason to believe that
this is a murder that will out the au-
thorities believe themselves to be in
possession of facts and of clues that
will result in the apprehension of those
on whose hands is the blood of this
murdered man. The theory is that the
crime was committed by men who
fancied that on Cullinam's person or
in his cabin they could find the wealth,
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars, which he was known to possess.
Already it is ascertained that the MUIR
derers were foiled in respect to the
plunder-at best they could have real
lied but trihe, as Cullinam had his
money in a safe deposit.
This new crime, staining the records
of a law-abiding. order-respecting
county, was a heartless, brutal cold
blooded murder 1t is ardently hoped
that the department of justice will ap-
prehend the guilty and fix the crime so
unerringly that the gallows will do its
work on the men who are responsible
for the hideous deed.

THEREIN Mr., Croker speaks for
M Tammany, his interview print
ed in the Standard yesterday
morning is significant. This interview
touches many points which are peril
nent this year and which, in the mod
ern political phrase, will be of para
mount interest when next years lines
are drawn.
Mr. Croker has reversed his views in
respect to the Philippine affair He
goes so far as to say that contrary to
his former opinion, he now believes
that our policy toward the islands is
wrong first, last and all the time: that
we really did wrong in paying twenty
millions for them that I'VE have no
right to keep them" Mr.. Croker's in
terview includes the remark that the
reverse of this talk, appearing in his
interviews of last spring, was based
on information that was not COM
plete.''
While l was in Europe" said Mr.
Croker, Il talked with some of the best
informed men there or anywhere else
on the subject of colonial conquest,
made an investigation for myself. l
reached the conclusion that we have
no right at all to keep the Philippines.
We were wrong in the first place to
give twenty million dollars for them
While this remark about the school
ing Mr.. Croker got in England may be
true, the fact remains that man does
rot have to go away from the United
States to learn the news about the
United States or to find out what pol
icy is right. Within our own country
change of sentiment respecting impe-
rialism has been going on. All men
who keep track of public opinion have
noticed it; returning from Europe, Mr..
Croker would readily gather informa-
ton concerning it. This change is
moving at such a pace that before the
lines are we'll drawn for next years
national campaign the expansionists
will be fairly and squarely on the de-
fensive.
1t will be interesting to notice the
effect of Mr.. Croker's talk. He is not a
figure of account in national politics;
the Standard has often pointed out the
incidents illustrating the fact that
Tammanys sway is compassed by
Greater New York's boundaries. But
the national convention of next year
will have preliminaries; these will in
Clude, for instance, New York's state
convention, which must prepare for its
delegation to the national convention.
1t must consider. informally at least.
the men and the measures for the years
campaign. When the time for these
prelimnaries arrives it will beyond a
doubt, be found that Mr.. Croker is
simply one among many men who will
be prepared to admit that they spoke
in haste when they spoke in advocacy
of imperialism.
