The speeches made when the new
Spanish minister was presented to
President Mckinley were out of the
ordinary, in the matter of plain Ian
guage. The minister said: 81 have
come to renew the relations of friend
ship, which have existed from of old
between Spain and the United States,
and which were interrupted by the
war of last year. The treaty of peace
which Spain has signed put an end to
that war, and now, looking only to
the future, Spain desires that her re-
friendly as they were in times past,
and from the days in which this coun-
try was struggling to gain it's indie
pendence." President Mckinley said
in reply: "You will find, Mr.. Minister,
a cordial welcome in this country, not
only from those whose friendship
you acquired during your former res
idence, but from all our people, who
rejoice as / do at the renewal of the
ancient bonds of annuity which, with
brief interruption, have united our
nations for more than one hundred
years. That these friendly relations
may be confirmed and strengthened,
to the advantage of both peoples, is
my earnest wish, and can assure you
that every member of this government
will heartily cooperate with you to
that desirable end.''

responsibility before the world will

congress go ahead, when the rebellion
is stamped out, and institute
in the Philippines free government
which will protect life and 'property, a
government such as we haye. Our
duty is not to back out, but to hold on;
not to encourage anarchy, but to pro
mote order"

the United States should continue tc

P. B. WINSTON'S VIEWS.

The Minneapolis Journal of last even
ing gives an extended authorized inter
view with P. B. Winston, upon the
gues tion of expansion, which is one of
Ihe strongest statements of the kind
we have seen put forth. Mr.. Winston
Is one of the most uncompromising of
Democrats. whose Democracy has never
at any time been questioned. A man
who was a Democrat when some of
chose who are now attempting to shape
the policy of that party, were in the
paths of Republicanism. 1t is probable
shat no man has contributed more
money to the cause of Democracy in
&his state than has Mr.. Winston. He
has always stood unfinchingly by his
party, and swallowed silverism, fusion
ISM and all the other isms that the
Bryanites put forth, and he now sounds
a note of alarm, not as sorehead, but
as one with the deepest interests of his
party and country at heart.
;and who would guide it from
<ae rocks which the so-called anti
zmperialistic policy in leading it,
Standing the man he is, his words of
warning ought to have much effect
with his party, whether they will or
rot remains to be seen. The interview

with the proposition that the war with
Span was national war. 1t was the
war of no party. All parties approved
and urged it All parties are entitled
to the glory that comes from the war;

as it may sound, is sometimes an un-

RENE NIB Err MANILA BAY.

There has been great deal of criti-
cism during the past few days over the
action of Admiral Dewey in allowing
the title of the Washington home which
was recently given him to pass from
his name, and much of it has been in as
bad taste as possibly his action has been.
The fact is we'll illustrated that the
hero of Manila Bay is human like the
rest of us and just as likely to err. But
when thedeed of the property was
given over to the Admiral, there was
no string to it; no provision that it
should always be kept in his name. 1t
was given to him wholly for his own
use, for home, andit seems that now
it is to remain his home as long as he
Lives, so what is the great difference.
When the first step was taken in trans
ferring the property, some of those who
had been the largest contributors to the
fund to purchase it, said they would
not care so much if the title was passed
80 his son. Well, the title is there in
his sons name now and they should
rest content. They did not want Mrs.
Dewey to have it. and she has placed it
beyond her power to claim any title to
1t in event of the Admiral's death, and
1t would seem this ought close the in
cident. The most unfortunate feature
of the whole affair, is the idle gossip
that has arisen in connection with it as
20 some of the reasons why the trans 'er
was made. and all of which proves to
be without foundation.
1t has been a marvel that Admiral
Dewey has been the only great Ameri-
can hero who has been free from bitter
attacks from some quarter. But this
attack has been mild compared with
what other great men have been sub
5ected too.
At the worst, however, the great Ad-
zniral has been guilty only of mere i'm
propriety to those who gave the prop
erty to him. II it was expected to find
IN him the perfect man, it has only been
another case where the people have
been disappointed. But it is better to
overlook these small faults and turn to
his supreme courage which made him
great commander and one of Americas
greatest heroes. Think of what he has
accomplished for this country in such
a short space of time; how he changed
the writing of history. In short simply
remember Manila Bay and his courage
on that May morning when supreme
courage was needed. That will live in
history, when the Washington house has
crumbled into ashes.

Time the Remedy

Thirty eight years ago the southern
people of this country almost unani-
mously rose against the national gov
eminent, because they chose to govern
themselves in certain way and accord
ing to certain ideas, which they saw
they could not make to prevail in the
nation as then constituted They asserted
that they had the right to govern them
selves as they pleased. They were
thoroughly and intensely in earnest; so
much so that they fought for four long
years. 1t was the bloodiest civil war in
history. The government at Washing
ton maintained that the will of the ma
tion was above the will of states and

individuals. The arbitrament of arms
decided that it was right.

u6CIu0u budb III WAS TlS nU.
To-day those same people who based
their government upon the consent of
the governed, will almost unanimously
concede that in the light of history
secession was wrong; that it was right
that the national government should
prevail and that the republic should re-
main one and indivisible. Today there
is no more loyal part of this union than
the southern states.
''If President Lincoln had taken the
same narrow view of the consent of the
governed clause of the Declaration of
Independence that the anti-imperialists
would have us take, we would have a
divided nation, perhaps more than two
parts; in fact, no rebellion in which the
masses of a given district are involved
could legitimately be repressed.
The day will come when the
Tagals in revolt will, like the
southern people, approve the force
that restrained them.
Democracy au4 Expansion.
1.-THE Democratic party has ever been
the party of territorial and commercial
expansion Democrats annexed all OF
Of the United States proper west of the
Mississippi river, not to mention Florida.
AS the successive steps in national ter
rltorial growth were taken the same old
arguments that we have now were ad-
vanced in opposition to those previous
expansions Democrats have always
stood for freedom of trade. The ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines extends our
trade influence, makes up for the tariff
restrictions that are each year impos ed
by jealous nations and gives us splen-
did foothold in the east for the great
trade the future will there develop.
GAS President Mckinley very appro-
priately said, the issue, if there is to be
one, will be that of contraction. We
have already acquired the Philippines,

Bryan and the Treaty.

Democrats have no cause to con-
denim the president. Mr.. Bryan him
self journeyed to Washington to urge
the senate to approve the treaty and
Democratic votes made the treaty a
fact. To run around now and attack
the president for what has transplred

the treaty is most illogical and unpa-
triotic.
Il fully believe that we are able to
establish and maintain in the Philip
pines such government that in the
very near future the natives will be
thankful that we came and overcome
by force of arms those who resisted our
rightful authority. I am not an i'm

pans1onist. l mean that | would not

did in wrestling from her Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, is certainly
blessing to the people of these islands,
and will result in peace and CONNER
cial prosperity such as they have never
known. The Democratic party, through
it's representatives in congress, largely
influenced the action of this govern
ment which brought on the war with
Spain, while the strongest opponents
were among the Republicans. The
speaker of the house who has more in
fiuence in shaping legislation than the
president, stood stoutly in the way OF
any action, and the president himself
was thought by those who watched the
trend of events just prior to the declara-
tion of war to be standing in the way of
popular feeling by not acting with
those of his own party in congress, who
were for prompt and decisive action. L
do not believe the war with Spain
would have come when it did, if at all,
had it not been that the attitude of the
great majority of the people of this
country, irrespective of party affilia-
tions, forced the war, and with it the
result we have today,
Now, then, why have not the Demo
cratic party and the Populist party as
much to do with these new possessions
as the Republican party? And when
the war was ended and treaty of peace
was entered into, could that treaty
have been ratified without the votes of
Democrats and Populists? The Demo
cratic party should claim its share of
the benefits which came to this nation
in consequence of the war, as we'll as
the credit for the blessings which will
fall to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines.
Mckinley Did His Duty.
"If were Republican, said Mr.
Winston, ''and Democratic president
should perform his duty in an honor
able and successful fashion, should
not hesitate to approve his acts; being a
Democrat, cannot do less fora Re-
publican president.
President Mckinley has done
his duty in the Philippines. The
senate having approved the treatyO |
with Spain, and Aguinaldo having
attacked our army there, the only
course before the president was to
proceed to restore order. am de-
lighted to observe..that the Filipino
rebels are being soundly trounced,
and l look forward to the early
pacification of the islands under a
better government by far than they
have ever had, and the best govern
ment it is possible for them ohave.
II thoroughly agree with the presi-
dent that so long as there twas any |
armed resistance to the United States, |
so long as there was rebellion in ex-
istence he had no right to make any |
specific promises about government.
He had no right to recognize any gov.
ernment in the islands except that of
the United States. He was, therefore,
right in insisting throughout that there
could be no communication with or
recognition of the insurgent govern
ment. The first precedent to organiza-
ton of government was the recogni-
ton Of the authority of the United |
States.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
twenty-five Years Constant Use without
a FaiIure

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
+ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty-f years
constant use without a failure. For
