To the Enemy.

About the worst thing you can find
to say of the Hon. William Mckinley,
president of the United States, is that
he tries to identify his administration
with the flag of this country. The
worst thing, we mean, from your point
of view.
1t is true. He does. He did so
boldly and openly in his fine little
speech of Monday at Cliff Haven,
when he said:
Loyalty to the Government is our
National creed. We follow, all of US,
one flag. 1t symbolzes our purposes
and our aspirations; it represents what
we believe and what we mean to main
tain; and wherever it floats, it is the
flag of the free, the hope of the oppres-
sed, and wherever it is assailed, at any
sacrifice it will be carried to a trium-
plant peace"
You may refine arguments, you may
invent phrases, you may pile on ridi-
cule and abuse, but the President of
the United States, who no ds that posi-
ton, holds position which is impreg-
nable.
Wherever the American flag is as.
sailed, at any sacrifice it will be carried
on to triumphant peace.
That is the declaration OF the Presi-
dent, the policy of his administration
and the fixed purpose of the people of
his country. New York Sun.

Patriotic Utterances.

Father Lavelle eloquently spoke the
sentiments of a large part of Ameri-
can citizens when on Tuesday, on the
shores of Lake Champlain, at the Cath
Ollie Summer School, as president of
that institution, he introduced the
President of the United States to the
thousands assembled there. Said the
patriotic president of the school:
We know what American victory means
1t means, not to Cypress, not to tread on the
necks Of the fallen. 1t means to lift them
up. to place them upon their feet, and to do
all that is in our power to extend civiliza-
ton and comfort and happiness and pros.
perity to all mankind. This war has brought
under the dominion and protectorate of the
Stars and Stripes many millions OF our
Catholic people, far removed, some of Them
from the American continents; but we pre-
dict for them unhestatingly that they will
make American citizens as loyal, AZ sturdy
and as true as those that are here to-day,
Mr.. President, and no man could ask more.
We rejoice with our whole country over
the triumph that has been achieved and we
are proud of the President, OF the sturdy
commandments who has in so digni-
fed, 80 thorough, so intelligent and 30 sue
cessful manner headed and directed the
great struggle.
President McKinley's fitting response
to these patriotic sentiments was en-
bodied in the phrase that drew forth
the rapturous applause of the assem-
blage:
We follow, all of us, one flag. 1t symbo-
Lies our purposes and our aspirations; it
represents what we believe and what we
mean to maintain, and wherever 1t floats. ii
is the flag OF the free. the hope Of the OPP
pressed. and wherever it is assaulted, at any
sacrifice it will be carried to triumphant
peace.

In the Far East.

MANILA, August 16.-The Filipinos
sustained severe defeat before Ange-
los to-day. Ten companies of the
Twelfth infantry with two cannon at
tackled $500 insurgents entrench-
ed near the town. A fierce fight fol-
lowed in which the Filipinos were
worsted and driven disordered. Their
loss is two hundred. The Americans
lost two killed and twelve wounded
The Twelfth occupied Angeles and s

Disqui ting advices come from Negros

insurgents. Outbreaks are feared.

Freaks In Democracy.

The latest development of the freaky
character of Democratic politics comes
from Richard Croker. Croker went to
Europe early in the season, an expan-
sionist Of the most positive kind. He
has recently returned to this country
and during his absence abroad or on his
return voyage, he has sloughed his ex.
pansion skin and is now wearing a very
tight fitting anti.imperialist hide. The
reason he gives for the change is this:
The war in the Philippines has been
turned into partisan scheme to elect Pres
ident Mckinley to second term. 1t is al
most incredible that President OF the
United States is willing to desoate and de-
stroy thousands of homes and shed the
blood Of poor, unfortunate savages to keep
himself and his friends in office
This is reasonable and as a reason
for becoming an anti-expansionist does
great credit TO the heart and head of
the Tammany boss--or would, if there
was anything in it. The entire lack of
fact, reason or credibility in Mr.. Crok.
er's conversion to anti-imperialism has
led to inquiry into the real cause of his
change of heart. The change took
place, it appears from his utterances
on the subject, some time between July
z, when he is on record to this effect:
l believe in holding whatever possessions
we have gained by annexation, purchase or
war. Jefferson was an expansonist. 1t is
an insult to the American people and to our
flag even to suggest that we abandoned the
peoples we have released from bondage,
and August 10, when he expressed his
adherence of the means Mckinley is
employing to ensure reelection. Opin-
ion in New York is that seven weeks
of horse racing in England neither ex-
plains nor justifes Mr.. Croker's fero-
cious flop. A relaxing grasp upon the
power of control in Tammsny Hall, it
is believed, has had much to do with
the Boss sudden conversion. Never
theless, say the opponents of the true
inwardness of Mr.. Croker's sudden
political shift, rebellion against his
power will not down, the Mszet inves-
tigation will not cease, Bryan will be
chary, and Van Wyck may regard him.
self fortunate if he can rely on Cookers
hostility.

Governor Roosevelt.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Gover-
nor Roosevelt was to-day the guest of
the Western New York Pioneers AS
ISOLATION at picnic held at Olcott.
Fully 10000 people, mostly farmers,
had gathered around the speakers
stand which had been erected in the
grove. On the platform were Mrs.
Roosevelt and many prominent politi-
clans of Erie and Niagara counties.
In the course of his address Cover
nor Roosevelt referred to the monu-
ment of General Brock erected on the
Canadian side of the Niagara river, on
Queenstown Heights, saying:
"And so as we pass down the Mag
ara and see the monument of the man
who fought us in 1912, when all fought
with valor, we feel no ranking. We
may voice the Englsh's poets thought
that as long as the waters in the Mag
ara river wage their turbulent war, so
long may there be peace between the
two nations on the banks of it. We
pray for peace, we crave no war, but
fear no war when to shun it or flee
from it would mean a stain on the
honor Of the flag" (Cheers).
said: "Last year we had to resist what
Spain was doing or hang our heads in
shame as free men (cheers). Now
that we have started the work we can't
skimp it. Once having put our hand
to the pillow we can't leave it in the
furrow. Liberty, honor and justice in
the East must be established and main
tanned. We can't shirk our duty.
We're there. You can't run away I'M
less you make every man in the civil
war and whose ancestors was pion-
eer ashamed to claim kinship with US.
Morally, you can't run away. Once
the present matter is settled, turn
around and see the islands are not ad-
ministered for politicians, but for those
people themselves. 1t will bring us
commerce and increase our trade, but
above that it will give US the conscious
ness of doing the great work of great
nation in the world"

Vinegar and Norwood.

AS was expected, the enemies of
their country are pitching on co Presi-
dent Mckinley because of his patriotic
references to the country's flag, in his
eloquent address at the Catholic Sum-
mer School near Plattsburg. The
clause that particularly provokes their
venomous stings-as people foresaw it
woud-was his declaration that "Wher-
ever the flag is asssiled, at any sacri-
flee it will be carried to triumphant
peace"
The Republican of Springfield rightly
constructs this language to mean that,
among other things, the Filipinos will
be brought into subsection to that
flag, but into its expression of this
meaning of the Chief Executive of the
Nation that paper inevitably pours the
vinegar and wormwood of its nature.
In the estimation of the Republican,
"Rather than lead the nation through
such course as Mckinley is now lead
ing it, any man should prefer to live
and die the obscurest and humblest
citizen in the republic"
Undoubtedly Judas Iscariot, Bene-
dict Arnold, Clement l.. Valandighsm,
and all the race of traitors, big and lit
tie, that fill the gaps between these
beacon lights of treason, would have
preferred to die the death of ex-
IRENE obscurity, but their distinguish
ing iniquity denied them this happy
fate. Their deeds made them both
famous and infamous, and the men of
the Republican school of infdelity to
patriotic duty and moral obligation will
some day be praying for the deep and
dark obscurity that is denied eminent
wickedness, while Mckinley, for lead
ing the nation through the course he
has been and still is leading it, will be
the compeer in glorious fame of Wash.
ington and Lincoln, and their asso.
ciates Of great and enviable repute.

event; but as the island is now part
OF the United States and it's inhabi-
tants are our countrymen, the impulse
of kinship is added to the common in
stinct of humanity. Here is this ma
toms opportunity to show in a practi-
cal way that it has not a mere merce-
nary interest in the people of the West
Indies. 1t is true that this truth has
been presented hitherto in ways that
should remove all doubt of this, but re-
peated exempli6cations will strengthen
its hold and interpret its significance;
and, applied on the occasion of the re-
cent appalling destruction from natural
forces, its effect in propitiating the
good will of all the people of the West
Indies may have far-reaching infu-
ence on the relations of the saved and
their ssviors.
Montpelier was the banner city of
the State in its contributions of money
and supplies for the Cubans before the
war with Spain began. Here is an
other opportunity for the practice of
the charity that never faileth, for the
casting of bread upon the waters with
the full assurance of the returns prom
ised in the Scripture.

Bryan is conserving to the side-track-
ing of silver. In his recent speeches
at DesMoines, Iowa, he approved the
plan Of the Iowa Democrats to drop the
16 to issue, and to substitute therefor
an anti trust and anti.expansion cry.
In one of his addresses he declared
that the "Chicago platform was writ
ten for all time" but the party is not
obliged to be continually harping about
it's details. "As new issues arise" he
said, 1--WE may turn our attention to
them, take them into the family and
fight on them without apologizing for
any former fight we have made" So
the Democracy is planning to win their
gold brethren back to the party fold i.
The scheme is rather thin, but any
thing thin or old will serve Democrats
in their desperation.

Aid to Porto Rico,

The Journal printed yesterday the
substance of Governor Smiths appeal
to Vermonters for aid for the suffering
people of Porto Rico. A prompt re-
spouse came in the shape of liberal
contributions, before the day ended.
To-day the Journal contains an ex-
tract from Secretary Roots letter and
the full text of Governor Smiths APP
peal to the people of this State.
Americans have always been prodi-
gal in their responses to the cries of
suffering humanity for aid, whether
the call has come from starving Irish
men or perishing Cubans. This peo-
pie "has known no limit of kindred OF
nation" when the cry has been for food
or clothing, or for succor for the sick
and wounded.
Under the conditions existing il
Porto Rico after the passage OF the
frightful hurricane, American assis
lance would be forthcoming in any

"What's the use of spending SO 900
to 81 900 in fire works." is a common
remark apropos of one proposed fea-
ture of the Dewey celebration. 1t is a
large sum of money 10 go up in smoke,
the nights of mid October are cool, they
do not tempt people to stand for hours
in the open air, the risk from rain is a
large one. Therefore many believe
that an illumination of the town might
suffice for the evening demonstration.
The proposition to have every town of
the State represented in the procession
is good one, and every county, with
its banners. The day parade and pro-
cession will be the main things, and
after that the bulk of the people, com
ing from distant points of the State,
will be glad to take the train for their
home. 1t is matter of doubt that
enough people will remain throughout
the evening to justify the expenditure
of 30 large sum of money in fire
works.

The President.

PLATTsBURGH, N. Y, August 10 -
President Mckinley visited the Catho-
Ole Summer School of America at
Cliff Haven this morning. AS the
President entered the auditorium the
spectators arose and sang song COM
posed for the occasion and set to the
music of Donizettis', Ell Puritani.
President Mckinley was introduced
to the school by Rev. Father Lavelle,
the president. When, In his remarks,
Father Lavelle predicted that "the
many millions of people recently
brought under our protectorate would
make American citizens as loyal, as
sturdy and as true as those that are
here to-day" the audience cheered en-
Enthusiastically.
The President had not intended to
speak but the warmth of the greeting
extended to him led him to change his
mind. As he arose the audience ap-
plauded, cheered, waved flags, hand
kerchiefs and parasols, until he made
motion for them to desist. When
quiet had been restored he said:
"I had not intended to say word but
cannot sit in silence in the presence Of this
splendid demonstration of your good will
and patriotism. L cannot forbear to give
expression to my very high appreciation
OF the gracious welcome you have given
me here today, and the more than gra-
cious words OF commentator uttered by
your president. Whatever the govern
ment OF the United States has been able
to accomplish since L last met you here
has been because the hearts of the people
have been with the government OF the
United States. Our patriotism is neither
sectional nor sectarian We may differ in
our political and religious beliefs but we
are united for country. Loyalty to the
government is our national creed. We fol-
low, all of us, one flag. 1t symbolizes our
purposes and our aspirations; it represents
what we believe, and what we mean to
maintain; and, wherever it floats, 1t is the
flag of the free; the hope OF the oppressed;
and wherever it is assailed at any sacrifice
it will be carried to triumphant peace.
We have more flags than we ever had be-
fore. They are everywhere. l saw them
carried by little ones on your lawn and as
long as they carry these flags in their little
hands there will be patriotism in their
hearts. That flag now floats from the
homes Of millions, even from our places of
worship; it Is seen from our school houses;
from the shops and the factories; from the
mining towns and it waves from the camp
OF the pioneer, in the distant outpost and
on the lumberman's hut in the dense for
est. 1t is found in the home of the hum
blest toiler and what it represents is dear
can never defeat its blessed mission of
liberty and humanity Thank you again
for this most cordial and gracious greeting"
The President only once raised his voice
when he said that "the flag wherever it is
assaulted will be carried to a triumphant
peace" The cheering which interrupted
his speech at this point fairly shook the
roof

It's long life, but devotion to the true
