A GREAT PACIFIC POWER.

Oar Outlook Toward Asia and Its I'm
msnss Commerc al value to Us.
The people Of the United States have
not thoroughly realized that this ma
tion is great Pacific power. Our pos
sessions, on our continental shore and
Of the archipelagoes Of the Pacific, are
more extensive and valuable than
those Of any other nation, Russia and
England not excepted-aad we make
no exception to the empire Of China.
Once there was opposition to our ex-
tension to the Pacific coast. There
now we have three great states, Cali
fornia, Oregon end WABhingto1: tle
enormous territory Of Alaska; the Aleu-
tian archipelago, spread across the
north Pacific; tho Philippine islands,
worth as much as all the West Indies.
We have an outlook toward Asia as we
have toward Europe; and we have in
the greatest ocean of the globe the is
lands that have fallen into our lap,
and that would be regarded as acquisi-
tions beyond al price by any other
nation on the face Of the earth, and
there would be no question about hold
ing them forever In any ether country
than ours.
Once 1t was considered almost GRIM
inal to think of extending our govern
ment to the Pacific. Why? Because
1t would take six months to 60 there.
We get there now in six days. and less
time. In the course of this century the
conquests Of the world for the uses
Of man have been carried on until the
world is a neighborhood Of nations.
Our cranks are trying to get our peo-
pie to take no part In this wondrous
development. They would make us a
nation of little Americans"

And Admiral Schley Will Protect
American Interests in
South frica.
Candidate McLean's Scheme Exploded

tucky by a Large Majority
This Fall.
WASHINGTON, October 13. 1899

WASHINGTON, October 10. 1899
Secretary Hay finds his judgmt nt in
leaving the Presidential party and re
turning to Washington fully Justified by
the situation in South Africa. While
this government has nothing whatever
to do with the quarrel between Grea
Britain and the Transvaal Republic, and
intends maintaining strict neutrality,
everybody was glad to know that the
opening of hostiities found the Secre-
tary of State at his desk. There are
hundreds of Americans in South Africa
engaged in mining and other occupa-
tions, and the look to our consular Off
GERS over there for protection of their in
terests, and the consular officers look TO
the Secretary of State for their orders.
One American warship, the Montgomery,
has already received orders to proceed
to South African waters, and it is ex-
pected that the Chicago, which will be
Rear Admiral schley's flagship, which
will be ready to start in about two weeks,
will receive similar orders. When Schley
gets over there, those who had 30 much
to say about the insiguficance of the
command OF the South Atlantic Squad
ron will see how little they knew about
it.
Secretary Root declines to discuss the
military movements this week in the
Philippines, further than to say that he
is perfectly satisfied with what is being
done and that Gen. Otis is being allowed
to conduct the campaign to suit himself.
Although the condition of the roads over
there will not permit of any extended
movements OF large bodies of troops, the
movements that are being made are all
part Of the general plan of the cam
psign, which has for it's object the crush
ing oi me rebellion. Although the de-
ti.s of the campaign are not known out
side of the War Department, it is known
that it includes general advance on the
part of the entire army and that all
towns of the least importance which are
taken will be garrisoned and held also
that the increased naval force is to play
an important part in the campaign.
Advices from Ohio indicate that Mr..
McLean's scheme of carrying the State
by getting Republicans, who for one or
another cause were disposed to be dis
satisfied to stay away from the POLLS
looks very different since he and his as
sistants have been trying to put into
practical operation from what it did
when they first discussed it among
themselves There has at no time been
any doubt in Washington that Ohio
would sustain President Mckinley and
h policy by electing the ent re R pub

there are Republicans in the State who
have real grievances, and others who
think they have, is true, but even ii
there were enough of them to affect the
result, would it right their grievances or
help them in any manner to elect NC
Lean? Most assuredly not, and nobody
knows it any better than the men most
directly concerned. None of them have
any grievances against President Nc.

considerable number of them will help
bring about result which the Demo
Gratis would hail as a condemnation OF
the national administration and it's poll
cies Ohio Republi, ans are not in the
habit of biting off their noses to spite
their faces and they will not do 80 this
year.
Kentuckians who visit Washington
these days are eagerly questioned con-
cerning the campaign in that State. The
Democrats are divided in their opinions,
but the Republicans are confident OF
success. One of the latter, Mr.. j. +.
Allison, said: "The Republican nomi
nee will defeat Goebel by 10000 votes
1t will be the worst landslide on record
in the State. 1t will give Kentucky to
the Republicans for long term of years,
because the dissentions that have been
bred in the Democratic party this year
are the initial stages of feud within it's
ranks compared with which Clay coun
ty vendetta is like fight between fake
pugilists. 1t will also result in giving
the State to Mckinley next year by an
overwhelming majority"
The decision of the Treasury Depart.
ment to anticipate the payment of the
interest of the public debt for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year ending June

week, is based upon the soundest of
