Whv Thew Come Over.

At the republican primaries and con-
ventions being held it is noted that
men who have previously been con-
nected with the democratic and popu-
list parties are taking part in the Or
ganization Of the republicans for the
coming campaign. This is the most
natural thing in the world. During
the last two years there has been a
shifting Of issues by the anti-republcan
politicians, SO that there is no more
reason for democrat or populist who
stood for Bryan in 1896 to remain in
his party now than there would be for
horse accustomed to eating corn to
deliberately change his diet to husks.
The Bryan of two years ago is not the
Bryan of to-day. The Bryan party OF
two years ago is not the Bryan party
of to-day. Then it stood for what is
considered to be an American system
of finance and was making a fight
against Il crown of thorns and cross
of gold. Now it is encouraging the
enemies of the American flag and is de-
claring that the nation which it once
claimed was able to dictate the policy
Of the world is not capable of honestly
and honorably governing few islands
which Providence has placed in our
possession.
There is nothing in this anti-oxpan-
sion talk to make an honest populist
feel consistent At heart he always
was an expansionist and just because
the republican party is in power and
has to assume the responsibility for
the extension of American influence
and American commerce, is no reason
to him why the politicianssof his party
should sit back in the breeding like a
balky horse. When the populist bosses
crack the party lash and try to drive
their followers away from the platform
of 1896 and onto a platform which is
abuse Of the American statesman and
the American soldier, they will find
the rank and file of the populist col
umn SO weakened by assertions and
sickness that they wouldn't make re-
spectacle firing line in sham battle.
When the populist bosses dictate pol
icy in order to catch a few recruits like
John Sherman, Andrew Carnegie and
Edward Atkinson they will find the
old veterans like PETER, Snow and a
host of others dropping out of the
ranks and making sneak for the rear,
or boldly proclaiming that they did
not enlist for that kind of war.
The loss to the populist party is
especially noticeable in the lack of dash
and courage that comes from honest
convictions. If there is any breath in
the populist party this year it pumped
in by ofiiceholders or candidates. The
rank and file of the party are not sus-
tanned by desire or hope of winning,
they are not enthused by the resolu-
lions their conventions adopt, and
they are ready to vote with the repub-
lican party. which has won their
honest respect, and in this new issue of
sustaining the government in time Of
war has touched the chord that is the
same in their hearts as with all other
patriotic Americans.

7.<nt Mckinney, recently delivered on
the occasion Of welcoming home the
Pennsylvania regiments, without feel
ing distinct thrill Of patriotic graft
fcation, and the president has spoken
what is in the heart Of every loyal
American citizen and he has spoken it
well. His remarks, put into con-
densed form, are as follows:
First-You and your brave comrades
have enlarged the map of the United
States and extended the jurisdiction Of
American liberty.
Second-They (the soldiers in the
Philippines) were not ser wing the in
surgents in the Philippines or their
sympathzers at home. They had no
part or patience with the men, few in
number happily, who would have re-
ioiced to have seen them lay down
their arms in the presence of an enemy
whom they had just emancipated from
Spanish rule and who should have been
our warmest friends.
Third-It became our territory and
is ours as much as the Louisiana pur-
chase or Texas or Alaska.
Fourth - The insurgents assailed
our sovereignty, and there will be no
useless parley, no pause until the in
surrecton is suppressed and American
authority acknowledge, and estab-
lished.
Fifth-Our prayers 60 with them
(the new ,volunteers), and more men
and munitions il required, for the
speedy suppression of the rebellion,
the establishment of peace and tran
guilty and government under the
undisputed authority of the United
States; a government which will do
Justice to all and at once encourage
the best efforts and aspirations Of these
distant people and the highest develop
ment of their rich and fertile lands.
Speaking for the American people,
he said it to men who have fought in
our battles of the Philippines, and with
soldier cheers from their bronzed
throats they approved this policy"
The people for whom he spoke approve
it now with their hearts, and in the
election of 1900 they will approve it
with their ballots. And in the ballots
Of the American voters rests the au-
thority of the government to complete
the work begun by the administration
of President Mckinley,

CHAPTER XIII.

"No word of this to anyone, Whit
taker," said Grafton, as they turned
away. He was beginning to see through
it all. He knew that two ladies of the
garrison were calling at his quarters
just at that luckless hour near retreat,
when, as he had urged, Merriam went
thither and asked for Mrs. McLane. He
knew that they had left and gone on up
the row while his wife was expostulat-
ing with Fanny aloft and Randy was
waiting below. He knew that one at
least of their number would be sure to
tell what was occurring, not as mat
ter of malice by any means, but simply
because she couldn't help telling any
thing and everything that she saw and
heard. He knew that sympathizing
women were dropping in every few
minutes to see "dear Florrie" herself,
if a possible thing, or to inquire how
she was, and he quickly conjectured
that one or more of these visitors had
let fall the fatal observation. What
Grafton did not know was that such
visitation had befallen after Florence
had virtually asked Randy to tell where
he had been, and after his hapless fail
ure to explain Immediately the entire
circumstances. 1t reused the demon
of her passionate nature to be told the
truth by other lips than his. But this
