TWO VERY DIFFERENT MEN.

Senator Hale and William Jennings Bryan
are both opposed to national expansion, but
they give very different reasons for their
position. as might be expected from two men
of such different characters. Senator Hale,
in his speech before the Republican caucus
of the Maine Legislature said:
| am not an expansionist. dread the an
nexation of territory thousands of miles
away of a foreign people, with no hablts
and no life like ours / dread the results OF
it. / dread the effects. l am honest IN that
1 cannot, with my views, vote for any meas
ure, law, or whatever II may be, that
involves us in that.
Nothing could be more frank and explicit
than this. It is the statement of a man who
has reached certain conclusions after careful
deliberations and who, having formed his
conclusions, proposes to stand by them, not
ostentatiously but firmly and conscientious
~ There is no attempt to befog the issue
or to treat the question in any other way
than on its merits, and no attempt to for
tify his own conclusions with the arguments
or views of others expressed under entirely
different circumstances. There is no attempt
to make political capital for himself or his
party, a majority of which probably holds
different views, and no attempt to en-
barrass those who do not agree with him.
With this frank and manly statement of
Senator Hale compare that of Mr. Bryan in
speech at Springfield III. He said:
The party that was willing to oppose the
gold standard because it was wrong ought
to be great enough to oppose an English
colonial system because 1t is wrong. II Is as
toniShing that any man living in this age
of the world, living in the United States.
should uphold the securing of land by con-
quest jefferson was against it long years
ago. Blaine was against IL in 1890 And
a year ago last December the Presi-
sage to Congress. and in that message
he said: Il speak not of forcible annexation
because that is not to be thought Of; under
our code of morality that would be GRIM
inal aggression My friends. there is a great
moral question involved, declared so by our
President; code of morality is In question
and according TO the code, torcible anneXa-
ton is criminal aggression.
This is the statement of political trick
ster and demagogue There is an air of in
sincerity and opportunism about it that
shows a lack Of convictions and willing
ness to do anything to win. There is no
evidence that Mr.. Bryan has considered the
question on its merits or reached any con-
clusion OF his own, but there is a manifest
purpose to embarrass and trip up his polti-
cal opponents. The first sentence illustrates
Mr. Bryan's habit OF playing on the preju-
dices Of the people. He tries to swing the
free silverites into line against expansion
by saying, THE party that was willing to
oppose the gold standard because 1t was
wrong ought to be great enough TO oppose

FOR A GREATER CHICAGO.
Effort to Consolidate City, County and
Township Governments.

CHICAGO, JAN 5.-The Times Herald
says: Greater Chicago is in sight. Steps
have been taken to secure legislation to
consolidate the city and county govern
ments and abolish the different township or
carnations within the city limits. To ac-
complsh the desired result an amendment
to the Constitution will be necessary. Presi-
dent Lombard. of the Civic Federation, has
appointed a committee to draft the amend
ment. The committee is TO hold daily ses-
sions so as 10 have the constitutional
amendments ready for presentation to the
Legislature by Feb. J. BY a two-thirds vote
the Legislature can submit the amendments
10 a vote of the people at the general cleo
ton in November 1909 The amendments
take effect Immediately after their approval
by the electorate and without further action
by the General Assembly.

Merely an Experiment.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 5.-Concerning
the bursting of the big eight-inch Calling
gun at the Sandy Hook proving grounds
which was built at the Otis steel works, in
this city, Manager Bartols. of the latter
company, said to-day: THE gun was built
according to specifications and instructions
furnished by DR. Calling, and was, of
course, an experiment. The fact that the
gun exploded after it had been fired a num-
Der of times with $50 pounds of powder and
three hundred pounds of projectiles. does
not necessarily mean that DR. Calling S
theory is at fault. The inventor has no
doubt, profited in experience with the first
built-up gun, and if another is made, which
will probably be the case, the defects will
probably be overcome

GATLING'S NEW GUN BURSTS.
Flies Into Pieces While Being Tested
Mt the Sandy Hook Grounds.

NEW YORK Jan. 5-The Herald says:
lone of DIR. Gatling's new cast steel guns,
which General Miles regarded as likely to
revolutionize coast defense artillery burst
last night at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds. 1t was an eight-inch gun. con-
structed in accordance with the inventor s
latest theories. 1t was loaded with charge
of 14O pounds of powder and a 300-pound
projectile. Government officials are exceed
ingly cautious in testing new ordnance, and
all interested in the test were concealed in
a bomb-proof shelter. The gun was dis
charged by means of an electric button.
Pieces of the gun flew in all directions and
about the walls of the shelter, but no one
was injured

The charge that one Bresmes, now fugi-
tive in Spain, was the instigator and author
OF the destruction of the Maine excites
some interest among Americans in Havana.
Captain Sigsbee is of opinion that some day

know Bresmes personally. he thinks the
story not incredible. Whether Bresmes
is guilty or not. he says, lit is not for me

some one Of his kind who conceived and exc
cuted the crime"

Mr.. Littleton's speech on taking the
speakers chair was in good taste and
eVinced the spirit that should animate the
House during the session. The speaker of a
legislative body, as Mr.. Littleton showed
that he understands, is not its arbitrary
ruler but its mouthpiece and presiding Off
GER bound to administer parliamentary law
with strict fairness and impartiality. To
this spirit the body itself should respond
with support entirely free from factious-
ness. The speakers remarks regarding the
duties of the House and it's responsibility
to the people are worth remembering.

The three-cent levy for the state sinking
fund should be continued until the entire
indebtedness has been paid off. With the
return OF prosperity, this levy can be con-
tnued without materially burdening the
taxpayers of the State, and it is a self
evident proposition that the speedy eXtin-
punishment of all bonded obligations, thereby
stopping interest charges, is in keeping with
correct business principles and i'm harmony
with the spirit of personal economy. The
saving of interest alone. as shown by the
above Statment amounts to S25,150 per an
NUM- mere IS widespread feellnS that
the taxes levied for state purposes form the
larger portion of the burden imposed upon
taxpayers, but this popular faacy is en-
tirely dispelled by a single statement of
facts, by way of comparison The amount
levied for state purposes aside from the
school fund which is II cents on the hun
bred and ] % cents for educational pur-
poses is only II cents, out of which all
expenses OF state government including the
judiciary, are paid-tncluding also payments
on state debt-while the average county levy
is 81 A.
These comparisons are cited in the hope
that they may awaken the people to a more
complete realization of the fact that com
plant of oppression on account of taxation
is due in large measure to local causes rath-
Ell than to incompetency, mismanagement
or extravaganza on the part of those into
whose charge is given the administration of
the fiscal affairs of the commonwealth.
Much credit is due to the retiring state au-
ditor. Hon. n G. Daily, and his efficient
deputy. Capt. w. IT. Hart, audtor-elect, for
pleasure of submitting to your honorable
body. The retiring treasurer, Hon. e. J.
Scholz, has likewise actively cO-Operated in
bringing about these substantial and highly
gratifying results, and the detailed reports
submitted by these worthy officials furnish
ample COnfirmatory evidence Of their notable
efficiency in dealing with large responsible
ties and their fidelity to public interests.
In this connection it is pertinent to men
ton that in the prosecution of the Spanish
American war, Indiana advanced to the
federal government a sum of money APP
prOxmating $500. 00o. This was used in the
mobilization equipment and forwarding of
this States quota of troops, cOnfOrmably
with the call of the President. All claims on
this account have been filed with the proper
authorities at Washington and are being
adjusted as expeditiously as possible. Claims
to the amount Of $107 1925 have already been
formally passed upon by the auditor of the
War Department, and warrant for that
amount was deposited with the state treas
urer on Dec. 20, 1898 The remainder of In
diana's claims against the general govern
ment are in process of adjustment and it is
confidently expected that complete remuner-
alton will be accomplished within COMPARE
lively brief period. 1t is gratifying to know
that all reports agree that Indianas pend
ing claims on account of the war are in bet
ter shape than those of any other State in

an English colonial system because it is
wrong" Still harping on the English The
assumption that the honesty and patriotism
of the country was all arrayed against the
gold standard and that, as a logical Sc
quenoe. it should be arrayed against IAN
English colonial system is very Bryan
esque. To answer a fool according to his folly
one might say that a party that was will
ing to favor the gold standard because it
is right ought to be great enough to favor
national expansion because it is right. That
would be as good an argument as the other,
but nobody but Mr.. Bryan can afford totuse
such arguments.
Mr. Bryan says Jefferson and Blaine were
opposed to the acquisition of territory by
conquest. and quotes President Mckinley
as saying in his last annual message: Il
speak not Of forcible annexation, because
that is not to be thought of; under our code
of morality that would be criminal aggres-
sion" Whatever Jefferson or Mr. Blaine
thought regarding certain propositions
in their day has no bearing on the
present situation, though as a matter
of fact the former favored the acquis-
ton of Cuba without specifying by
what means, and the latter was, if
anything, too aggressive in his American
ism. The attempt to place the President in
opposition to national expansion or to the
acquisition of any territory by conquest is
dishonest trick on the part of Mr. Bryan
What Mr.. Mckinley said related to Cuba
alone. In his message of Dec. 6, 1897 after
bo
bring about O. settlement of the Cuban oues-
ton, he said:
OF the untried measures there remain only
recognition of the insurgents as belliger-
entS; recognition of the indeDendence of
CUBA; neutral Intervention to end the war
by imposing a national compromise between
the contestants and intervention in favor of
one or the other party I speak not of fore
lble annexation. for that cannot De thought
OF: That, by our code of morality would be
criminal aggression.
Not only did this relate to Cuba alone.
but it related to Cuba before the war 1t was
a disclaimer of any filibustering purpose.
The war changed everything, including the
code of morality applying to Spanish terri
tory 1t would be absurd to claim that any
code of morality prevents a nation victor
ious in war from requiring the vanuuished
nation to surrender territory as war indem-
nifty. In attempting to convict the President
of inconsistency Mr.. Bryan misrepresents
his position and the situation with which
the President was dealing.
The fundamental difference between Sem
ator Hale and Mr.. Bryan is that the former
Is an honest and fair-minded man with con-
Victions, while the latter is time-serving
demagogue. One is a statesman who seeks
to serve the country, the other is an office
seeker who seeks to serve himself.
