APPROVAL OF CONGRESS.

1t is said that the Philippine war is
being conducted without the authority
OF congress. This is not so. Every
step in this progress has been made
by the president with the approval of
the American people as expressed by
the votes of a large majority of their
representatives and senators in con-
gress. 1t is not being conducted, as is
claimed in the democratic PLATFORM,
Unauthorized by congress-" but it is
being conducted with the approval OF
congress, legislatively expressed, as I
will show.
Congress has confded to it by the
constitution the power to raise and sup
port armies, and these armies have re-
peatedly all along the pathway of our
history been used to defend and pro-
tect the territory of the United States
and TO suppress rebellion against the
authority of the United States. The
president did not raise the army we
have; he does not support it. It was
congress that raised this army; it was
congress that appropriated the money
to support it.

A DIsCREDITED ISSUE.

Hon. Geo. D. Perkins: In the midst
of the popular distress of 1896 there
was opportunity for the Chicago plat
form and candidate. The people were
looking for relief. The democratic
party came to them and said: Here is
the remedy. Here is the only remedy.
What you want is more money, and
cheaper money. 1t is the gold stand
ard that is pauperizing the country.
Things will go from bad to worse until
the gold standard is dethroned. Try
our remedy, 16 to free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver. The statement of
the disease and the cure for it was sim
pie enough, it was comprehensive
enough, and the temptation to try it.,
to try anything, was very great.
But the democratic party had been
to the people with remedies before, and
the people We're not wholly forgetful
that the public health had been sacri-
feed through democratic doctoring;
and this led to a pretty careful analy-
sis of the democratic doctor stuff Of
fered in 1896. The compaign of 1896
was the greatest political campaign
this country has ever known. 1t was a
great educational campaign. The peo-
pie followed Mr.. Bryan's advice and ex-

NIuscatine journal: The parcels
post treaty between the United States
aud Germany took effect October 1. 1t
is the first of the kind between this
country and another nation. No doubt
it will work well and lead to Others of
the same kind. But i'll looking over
the provisions of the treaty certain
contradictions and defects in our own
postal service are made clear. Under
the treaty postal parcel not exceed
ing eleven pounds can be sent to Ger
many at the rate of 12 cents pound.
But between points in the United
States postal package of merchan-
disc is limited to four pounds, and the
charge is 16 cents a pound. A package
nearly three times as large may be
mailed to Germany at one-fourth less
cost at pound rates. The foreign rate
is far more favorable than the domes-
tic, and the proper conclusion is that
the latter is out of adjustment. On an
11-pound package sent to Germany the
postage will be $1.32. On package of
the same weight from Germany to the
United States the postage will be 81
cents, with duties added in both
cases. Each country, of course, fixes
its own rates, but it is a striking cir
cumstance that parcels can be carried
by mail to Germany so much more ex-
tensively and cheaply than between
two OF our own post offices.

Plain Duty of Voters.

Marshalltown Times-Republican: The
only real solicitude expressed about
the coming election in Iowa is that Of
getting out the voters. It is feared
that the lack OF active interest in poll
tics this year will initiate against the
real verdict which the voters should
give at the polls on the 18th of Novem-
Der. II the era of prosperity tends to
make people satisfied with present con-
ditions, as it undoubtedly does, it is fair
and reasonable that they should mapi-
fest it at the ensuing election. Yes,
more, it is their plain duty to so give
utterance to their approval as to thor
oughly rebuke and rout malcontents.
While in Sioux City early this week
Governor Shaw expressed solicitude
about the stay-at home vote. Possibly
this may grow out of the responsibility
he feels, and because, as the reporter
put it. Governor Shaw looks always
as il he were anxious to be doing more
than he is already doing" He is re-
ported as saying II think the situation
is such as to guarantee republican sue
cess. 1t is only a question of majors
ties. However, there is this danger,
that OF over-confidence. That breeds
stay-at-home votes and enough OF these
will defeat any party, no matter how
strong"

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
A Pathetic Picture.

Des Moines News: One of the most
pathetic episodes in the history of the
race is begun in South Africa.
A thin line of pious farmers stands
up to meet the murderous dunn dunn
bullets and deadly scrapnel of the
greatest empire on earth. At home,
the women and the old men and the
crippled face the untold terror OF an
uprising of the native blacks.
In the Boer republic and in the
Orange Free State the rains are scanty
and the cattle ranges are wide. The
farm houses are far apart. Only on
Sunday do the neighbors come togeth-
er at the country church to sing the
psalms which they deyoutly believe
are as applicable to their little repub-
lie as they were to the Jews of Dayid's
time.
Now the farmers are standing on the
borders of their land to meet the pro-
fessional fighters of England. Olive
Schreiner's pathetic story of the
Dutch women putting up the meat and
bread into the saddle bags for their
husbands and sons and brothers, the
meat and bread that constitute about
all their commissary supplies, recurs
TO one.
View the struggle of the Beers as
you may, one of the saddest tragedies
of our race history is being enacted on
the little stage down in Africa.

MRS. PARTINGToN,s BROOM.

The aunties at Chicago managed to
assemble 16o delegates from all parts Of
he country to listen to speechesand to
pass resolutions condemnatory OF the
so-called policy of imperialism as hos
tile to liberty, as unconstitutional and
tending to militarism, and demanding
the immediate cessation of the war in
the Philippines. During speech of
this tenor by DR.. Bigelow, the report
says, "a stylishly dressed woman arose
in the audience, and extending her
gloved hand toward the American flag,
which hung suspended over the speak
er, exclaimed:
"'Take down the flag; don't disgrace
it any longer
She refused TO give her name, but it
turned out that she was the sister of
one soldier, the daughter of another
and the wife of third-all of them
now fighting in the Philippines. There
could not be a more effective answer to
the disloyal and un-American utter.
ances of that conclave of old women
than this spontaneous cry of outraged
patriotism from the wounded heart of
the sister, daughter and wife of Amer
lean soldiers fighting for their coun-
try's cause and flag in the Philippines.
They demand that the president shall
take down the flag in the Philippines,
where it stands for the honor and au-
thority of our government, for liberty
and civilization and public order. They
may well be asked to take it down
when they use its folds only as can
opy under which to proclaim treason
to the republic and dishonor to its
flag.
1t is difficult to comprehend the
mental attitude of the men who aver
that the war with the Filipinos is war
of subiugation, and that the policy of
the president in enforcing obedience
to the authority of the United States
in territory where its sovereignty
is undisputed is hostile to liberty. 1t is
impossible to comprehend the mental
processes by which they arrive at that
conclusion. They evidently imagine
that they represent wide and power
full public opinion, latent and passive
it may be, but sure to manifest itself
at coming elections. And SO they give
formal notice that their organization
proposes to contribute to the defeat of
President Mckinley if renominated in
| 1900 and to every person or party
| which stands for the so-called policy
of subjugation. They are for the most
part very worthy and respectable men,
some of them OF honorable national
reputation. But they have as utterly
failed 10 comprehend the trend and at
titude OF pnolic opinion on this subject,
or the noble and patriotic sentiments

amined the questions for themselves.
1t was no trouble to get together po-
litical meeting in 1896. If d hall was
not convenient, railroad car, a hotel
Office, a street corner, any place, would
do. The people wanted to know
whether the free and unlimited coinage
of silver would be a good thing, and
whether it would be an, honorable
thing. They decided, you know, that
it would not De; and ever since the
verdict was filed the times have been
getting better. The scarecrow can be
found still uncovered in some democra-
tic platforms, and in Others, as in the
Iowa platform, it is noticed that some
work has been done to cover it up. But
nobody jumps at it now as they pass
by. I do not say that it is a dead is
sue. But | do say it is a discredited
issue.

SHALL WE .coNrRAcr2

President Mclinley's remarks on
Monday at Cedar Falls made an effec-
tive counter blow to the ''anti-imperial-
lists" ut is no longer question of
expansion with us" he said. "We have
expanded. If there is any question
about it at all, it is question of con-
traction, and who is going to con
tract?" This is the correct way Of put
ting the question. 1t is the way in
which it is beginning to present itself
to sensible persons of every party.
Leading democrats, as well as repub-
licans begin to see it clearly.
In speech delivered at Austin, Gov.
Hooo. one of the most conspicuous Tex
as democrats, said: I'VE have already
expanded. When the $20,000,O0O voted
by the last congress for that purpose
was paid to Spain for the Philippines,
the United States got all the title
there was to those islands, and we en-
panded in defiance of the Texas demo
cratic platform. The Philippines now
belong to the United States. 1t is for
the next congress to say what we shall
do w Il them" Among clear-headed
men of all partisan beliefs, this is the
position which is being taken. Until
very recently ex-Gov. Hogg has been
an ardent Bryanite, but his attitude on
this vital issue puts him outside of the
Bryan contingent. There is no com.
mon ground on which democrat like
Hooo and one like Bryan can stand
We have already expanded, and the
democratic party must reconcile itself
to make the issue "Shall we or shall
we not contract?" The voters of this
country must consider whether or moi
they wish to take step backward.

Nothing but silver and surrender.

Marshalltown Times Republican
In his tour of the west President Nc
Kinley is uttering strong sentiments
in support of the present national pol
icy and effective truths in aid of re-
publicanism. At Madison, S. D., in
congratulating the people on the new
era of prosperity and its salient feat
ures, he summed up the present atti-
tude of the people in the graphic
statement that "Fear has given place
to confidence. CONSERVATION and des-
pair have given place to faith and
courage, and the voice of calamity is
no longer heard in the land, and the
orator of distress and discomfort is out
of a job"
The truth is, the enemies of republic
canism can find nothing in the present
condition of the people or the attitude
of the administration on which to base
a plea for a,change that the people are
willing to accept.
Bryan, in recent speech at Des
Moines, asserted that former issues
have not changed, the platform of '96
is still of vital force, and that the Fill
ipinos should be conceded independ-
ence "the very moment they have es-
tablished stable government"
The New York Sun deduces "Silver
and Surrender" from this program and
declares that it is the only thing in
sight on which the democracy relies.

Protests are coming in thick and fas

Protests are coming in thick and fast
and with no uncertain sound, against
the proposed reduction in the saloon
license, as petitioned for by certain
representatives of various labor unions
at the last meeting of the city council.
As already published in the Courier, it
is stated that there are no active car
penters' or machinists' unions in this
city, and hence the attempt to make it
appear that any considerable number
of men belonging to these trades desire
the saloon license reduced, is a serious
Misrepresentation of the facts. A
member of the tailors' union called at
the Courier Office Friday and desired
the statement made that the union, as
a body, does not favor the reduction
in the saloon license, and that the men
composing this union have been mis-
represented by the petition presented
10 the council. The majority of public
sentiment in this city. is unquestion-
ably opposed to reduction of the sa-
loon license, and we are confident the
city council will so recognize.
