a Raalcal ohnpre 10 Party POLICY.

In 1856 the Republican party, at its
first regular national convention hold
in Philadelphia, adopted this reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the highwayman' s.
plea that might makes right" EN-
bodied in the Ostend circular, was In
every respect unworthy Of American
diplomacy and would bring shame and
dishonor upon any government or
people that gave it their sanction.
This Ostend manifesto was the joint
letter addressed in 1854 to Secretary of
State Marcy by Buchanan, Mason, and
Soule, our ministers to Great Britain,
France, and Spain respectively. At
President Pierce's suggestion, they
had met to exchange views in antici-
patton of negotiations for the acqui-
sition of Cuba from Spain, by pur-
chase or otherwise, with which Mr..
Soule had been charged. The result
was the famous circular, which urged,
most ably and strongly, that the acqui-
sition of Cuba was Of paramount i'm
portance to the United States,
upon the great principle that self
preservation is the first law Of nature,
as the close proximity of the island to
our coast rendered its possession by a
foreign Power constant menace to
our repose and security. It was sug.
gested that Spain be offered ga price
for Cuba far beyond its present value, u
and il that be refused, then "by every
law, human and divine, we shall BIT
justified in wrestling it from Spain il
we possess the power, and this upon the
very same principle that would iustif,
an individual in tearing down the burn
ing house of his neighbor, il ther,
we're no other means Of preventing tn,
flames from destroying his own house. !
But these arguments were rejected will
contempt by the new party as onl,
"the highwayman's plea" and tn
policy based upon them was character
ICED as one which "would bring sham
and disbonor upon any government o
people that gave it their sanction. -
In the days Of the Ostend circular
the Democratic party was drifting
away from its policy Of the rights O
the people and the reserved rights Q
the States under the Constitution, ant
thereby paved the way to Republica
success.
Now the Republican party is tn
party of expansion and Imperialism
and it is losing the support c
thousands of its voters throughout tn
country.
1t is curious how political histor
repeats itself, and how successfr
political rarty will be guilty of tn
very plumbers by which, when con
mitted by its opponent, it was enable
to elevate itself to place and power.

A late contribution to the war litera-
ture is contained in a soldiers letter
printed in the Daily Commercial of
Bangor. Maine. 1t was written by Cap
tain--not mere private, mind Mark
L. Hersey Of the Twelfth United States
Infantry, to his father. Captain Her
sey is at Manila, and under date of
May 18th he wrote:
The volunteers have done splendid
fighting, there is no doubt about that.
The great criticism 20 be made on
them is their utter disregard of the
laws of civilized warfare. / heard q
man of the Montana Regiment state
that, when he had a new revolver
issued to him he tried 1T on an in
offensive native, who was padding a
boat out in the stream. This revolver
proved to be q good one, for the native
fell over dead into the water. He
thought it was a good joke. He also
told of one Of his comrades, who, when
a native (wounded) asked him for
water, kicked him il the head until
he died. Filipinos claim that their
women are ravished, and / guess with
a good deal of truth. So far have
heard Of no such disgraceful acts being
done by any of the regulars. In my
opinion, the hatred created by these
acts of wanton cruelty will make any
thing like cordial feeling between
the insurgents and Americans. for {
good many years to come, impossible
even if We succeed in conguering then
by force of arms.
Truly, war is hell" from ever,
conceivable point of view.

The serious accident on the Will
mington & Chester trolley line near
Bellevue, Tuesday morning, SO closely
following the dreadful accidents of
similar character in Pittsburg and
Philadelphia. emphasizes the necessity
of the strictest precautions with re-
spect to the running of cars on sub
urban trolley lines.
As long as these trolley lines were
confined to city streets, there was
slight danger of collisions between cars,
even where thore were but single lines
of tracks. The fact that following or
approaching cars could readily be seen
made such an accident as heavy col
lision between two cars almost out of
the question.
But with these suburban lines it
is different. They make long runs,
on single track, with switches as tbe
meeting points for cars moving in OPP
posite directions. Frequently these
roads are marked by heavy grades and
sharp curves, and thess are naturally
points of danger. The high speed at
which the cars are run as soon as the
city streets are left behind also adds
to the risks OF the journey.
As fact, these suburban trolley
lines are practically like the steam
railways, and require the same measure
Of precautions against accident. On
the Chester line, it is said, a block
system is in use, similar to that of
the New Castle line. This system is
designed to prevent one car running
upon piece of line between switches
while another car is coming from the
opposite direction on the same stretch
Of track. But in the accident at Belle
vue, Tuesday morning, two cars NOV.
ing in opposite directions on the same
stretch of track came around SHARP
curve and rushed together in head or
collision. Manifestly, such an accident
should have been prevented.
| Not only will the trolley line mana
gers have to guard against accidents o
this character, but they will have t.
guard against what are known as rea
collisions, caused by one car coming
up with and running into a car ahead
At night there is peculiar liabilit.
to this class of accidents, as any mis-
hap that cuts off the motive powe
from car also cuts off its suppl
of electric light, leaving it in tota
darkness, and thus preventing thos
on the following car from discovering
its plight until it is too late to avoi
a collision.
An efficient block system, like tina
employed on steam railroads, will b
the only eifeotual remedy. With sue
a system, accidents can be reduced t
tho minimum, and when employees dis
regard the safety appliances provide
for their guidance, the law will punis
them. 1t will not do to expose th
people who travel on popular trolle
. lines to the danger Of such accidents q
a have occurred within week in Pitt:
burg, Philadelphia and near Whining

The Observance of tho Fourth.

The Fourth of July was more gener-
ally, and more deliriously, observed in
Wilmington Tuesday than ever before.
And the same may truly be said of
every other community of Importance
throughout the country.
In Wilmington there was the greatest
demonstration of noise the city ever
heard. 1t did not equal the midnight
fusilade that greeted the advent of the
Centennial Fourth, but it was more
frequent and continuous. 1t is safe
to assert that there was not quiet
minute within the city limits from
about 10 O'Clock Monday night until
long after the hour of Tuesdays mid.
night marked the end Of the 123d
anniversary of American independence.
In other respects the day was also
observed in the most wholesale manner.
There were more outings; more picnics
and excursions; more meetings with
speeches and music; more fireworks /:
more accidents; more fghtings; but,
strange to relate, less fires than usual
on the fiery Fourth.
No doubt the war feeling, coupled
| with better times and more money in
the pockets of the people, contributed
to this general and generous observance
of the great national holiday. The
sound Of battle that has been borne
to the ears of the people of the United
States for more than year, and the
stories of thrilling combats on land
and sea, in which their soldiers were
engaged and their men 'stood be.
hind the guns" served to excite a
feeling of unnatural enthusiasm that
found vent Tuesday in a saturnalia Of
noise and demonstration.
The Fourth of July, 1899, is now ar
event OF the past, but it goes into
history as record breaker.

From no standpoint, not even from
that Of law, is the war in the Philip
pines justifiable. Congress has never
declared war against the people of these
islands, and the course of the McKin-
Icy administration in prosecuting
the war is therefore in violation of the
Constitution, and without warrant. 1t
cannot be maintained that the islands
are colonies Of the United States, for
to claim that this government had a
right to buy the country and its people
from Spain by the payment of $40, :
600, 600 is to claim right to revive the
institution of human slavery. For the
elimination of this institution, the
United States went through civil war
of four years duration, sacrificed
thousands of lives, and expended bill
lions of money. To claim that Nc
Kinley has right to establish slavery
in the Philippines, and by force OF
arms compel nearly ten millions OF
people to submit to the CALLING yoke,
is to give the lie to the Declaration Of
Independence and trample the Consti.
tuition of the United States under foot.

Abiding to the recent newspaper
interview with Senator Chauncey M.
Depew in London, in which he paid
tribute to the great work done by Mr..
Bayard while Ambassador to Great
Britain, the Albany, N. Y, Argus
says:
Has anyone forgotten the bitter
calumny, the abuse, the vituperation
which these few words recall? Thomas
f. Bayard was Ambassador to the court
of st. James, and Grover Cleveland
was President; the Republican party
was out of power, and anxious to get
in again. No respect for the personal
character Of Bayard, one of the purest
and most honorable of men and states
men, awaited to stop the mouth of
Islander. In the effort to make little
cheap party capital, Republican
Congress evsn proposed the impeach-
lnent of Mr.. Bayard, because he was
striving to promote that Anglo.
American entente which is so popular
project today.
Now Bayard is dead, and the
Justice that Mr.. Depew and other Re-
publicans could not, or would not, do
him when alive is easy enough 10
render. 1--WE did not know it, and
blamed him." says Mr.. Depew-as
very likely he and his -Republi-
cans may be saying a few years hence
of other Democrats whose motives they
are today aspersing and whose character
and principle they hold up to ridicule
and contempt.
"For Mr.. Depsw personally The
Argus holds sentiments of respect and
regard; but he is of a party whose
press and public speakers have SO per,
sistently declared that the only good
Democrat is a dead Democrat, that IL
is only when the grave has closed over
our Tildens, our Seymours, and oui
Bayards-Democratic statesmen o.
whom the American Republic SHOULD
forever be proud-that their politica
opponents can pay to their senseles
clay the belated tribute of justice. "
