Expansion and tbc Dcmocrncy.

Washington Post: (Ind.l: The New
York Journal Is making powerful
and persistent effort to prevent the
Democratic party from wrecking Itself
on anti-eXpanslon. Having frequently
'dwEIt upon the dcvOtlonIof the party
TO the idea OF the party tC national eN-
pansion ln'thc days OF the glorious
past" the Journal undertakes 10 In
tercst the practical politician OF these
times In what expansion did for Dsmoc-
racy. II Is II theme that really ought
to have fascinating interest, not only
for Democrats. but for all Americans.
And II the past has any lessons for the
present, the story OF on. national eX-
ransion should be 4 warning to those
fearful souls in both parties who are
bemoaning the grand results OF our
short and splendidly successful war.
The journal asserts-and who VIII
question It's Qccuracy-that from the
time when jefferson turned the United
States Into u continental power until
the disruption OF the Democratic or
ganization In 1860. the party that JEFF
ferson founded always stood consist
emily for national progress. 1t never
missed chance OF advancing the flag.
1t bought Louisiana. and Florida, an
neXed Texas, conquered California and
the great plateau region OF the south
west. occupied Oregon and Washing
ton and tried to secure British Column
bIa.
The peace treaty will be ratified. and
by that act expansion will become an
accomplished fact. To suppose the
Democratic party capable OF going in
to n presidential campaign with de-
mand for the abandonment: of any IN
1,nh aA 80 trtn h.
longing to the United Staes Is to credit
that organization with degree of fol-
~ which has no parallel In its history.
Such campaign would be more disas-
trous than the Democratic attempt to
beat U. S. Grant with Horace Greeley.

country TO exact concessions In return

apparent. and regret Is felt In some
quarters that such a condition was not
extended TO the Carolnes.

The Baltimore Sun Almanac for 1899
presents all those features which have
made II heretofore the standard refer
ence book In matters relating TO Mary
land and national affairs. The year
1898 was a memorable one in the his
tory of the United States because of the
war with Spain, and the Sun Almanac
gives the most important facts connect
ed with this conflict.
Tire leading events Of the war are de-
scribed In detail. but cOncisely. SO that
the render Is enabled to secure such in
formation as he desires without wad-
ing through n mass Of verbiage. The
story OF the Maine disaster Is told Sue
cinctly, and IN abstract Is given of the
findings of the naval court of inquiry
which conducted the Investigation into
the cause OF the destruction of the bat
tlcshlp. The naval battle of Manila
bay, when Montejo's squadron was
destroyed BY our -Asiatic squadron. un-
ger the command of Commodore George
Dewey. the destruction of Cervcras
squadron, off Santiago, and the cap
turc OF the Spanish admiral, and many
OF his officers >and men. are among the
most notable achievements in the his
tory Of the American navy; the battle
of II Caney and the surrender OF San
tlaSo and the invasion of Port Rico.
The Sun Almanac gives compact ac-
count OF these battles, bringing out ev-
cry point of interest without unneces-
sary elaboration.

The decision Of the supreme court
OF Pennsylvania in denying the petition
of Senator Quay for 4 writ OF certIorari.
removing the trial of the conspiracy
cases against him from the local to the
supreme court, is severe blow to his
chances to succeed himself In the United
States senate.
I, Any man who has been In politics rs
long as Mr.. Quay has could not escape
making very bitter enemies in his own
party, not counting those opposed TO
him in politics. eager to trip him UP on
the least technicality that presented
itself, and to n1align and mIsrepre-
sent. In view OF his fight against such
odds Judgment rs to his guilt of the
charges made against him can very
properly be suspended until his trial is
terminated. This much is fair TO the
man. In political sense II is feared
that the decision Of the court has DOOM
ed him.
Flfty-hve Republican representatives
remained out of the caucus that noml-
mated Quay for the senatorship, and
they absented themselves for the sole
reason that they would not bow 10 the
1ictum Of the caucns until Quay purgcd
himself of the charges that were before
the courts. Now that they are fortified
In their position 1t Is not to be presumed
that the situation has been changed.
Mr.. Quay has hard fight before him,
but IL he loses the goal OF the senator
ship, and is finally indicated in the
courts he ought TO rest content.

Ex-President Cleveland's attempt to
be witty over the situation in the Phil
iDplnes was very cheap effort. No
one ever accused him of being humor-
list, and to commence this late In life to
make a reputation as a wit Is one OF the
saddcst exhibitions of the vanity OF n
very vain man. But since we look back
during the times when he occupied the
white house we remember that 1t Is not
the first time he has rcsorted TO chastity
humor. He ridiculed the inflrmities of
old soldiers whose claims for pensions
he denied with brutal buffoonery.. 1t
must have been Il recollection of the
jolly time he had vetoing pensions bills
that aroused him from the inocuous
desuctudc of his powers of raillcry, and
wien he expressed himself the other day
that he was well satisfied with the
policy that committed the government
TO n slaughter Of those to whose relief
1t had foolishiy gone" he dropped again
to the level OF his pension wtticisms.
In commenting or this exhibition OF
seniie righteousness the Washington
Star takes Mr.. Cleveland 10 task and
pertinently remarks. that il he means
to say that "the killing OF natives has
been feature Of the policy of the cx-
panslon" inaugurated by the war with
Spain lie travels outside OF the record
NO natives, In Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines. have been killed by the
United States. The natives have well
coined the Americans. American inter-
vention has put stop to the killing of
natives by the Spaniartis. How many
lives have been saved In cuba alone by
the appearance OF the Americans In the
field cannot be stated with accuracy,
but the number Is undoubtedly very
large.
A more Interesting question for Mr..
Cleveland is this: How many lives of
the natives OF Cuba were sacrificed while
he held hands off and let General Wey-
Ter proceed with his slaughter at pleas
ure%" What excuse docs he now offer
for ignoring the representations of
Cuban conditions made TO him by his
own officials In Cuba. and TO the coun-
try through the agency OF reputable
newspaper. correspondents, and accept
ing instead the lying statements of
Senior de Lone and his paid iIunkieS?
What Is his share In the responsibility
for all the horrors visited upon the re-
concentrates? How does the record
stand on that question:"

Admiral Dcwcy's Politics.

Owing to the persistent use of Rear
Admiral Dewey's name as a possible
Democratic candidate for President in
1900. and the doubt which has arisen as
to his political belief. an Inquiry has
been instituted in Molb pelier the Yer
mont home of the naval hero.

tional Life Insurance Company. said

entered the navy. In 1851

Charles Dewey said he knew OF no
reason why the admiral should have
changed his politics since that time.

The only exciting elements in the
senatorial situation at Charleston ore
confined to the Very much disturbed
Democracy. as the Intclligencer's latest
adrices indicate that affairs In councils
OF that party are very much Involved.
as strong opposition TO Colonel NlcGraw
has developed with fresh arrivals of the
legislators. Ex-Governor Wilson and
General Watts have entered the contest
with risor for the empty honor OF the
caucus nomination. and these factors
mean hard fight.
n On the other hand the contest on the
Republican side remains friendly and
whatever the outcome mag be, the re-
suit will leave no bitterness behind.
The legislature convenes to-day at noon
and the opening session may reveal
some obstacles to an early settlement of
! the senatorial question, although It Is
confidently hoped that tho Republicans
Will be awarded the Justice they are en-
titled to.
