DiSGRACEFW SUBSERYJENcY.

In every meeting of the democratic
national committee since 1896. any
suggestion pointing to a fusion of
that party with the silver repub-
leans and populists has been frown-
ed down. The plan of keeping
the democratic party free from entang-
ling alliances, so successfully carried out
in Montana in the campaign of last year
was looked upon as the only safe and
reliable course of procedure for the fu-
ture. The so-called silver wing OF the
democracy took strong grounds against
cooperating with other parties, and to
place itself wholly above suspicion, while
Wooing to a reunion it's recreant gold
bug lovers Of the east, it went so far as
to assent to the naming of a

Those democrats in the silver states,
who for local reasons feebly insist that
their party is still the champion of silver,
have had nc hesitancy in declaring that
those silver republicans and populists
who desire to be counted as bimetallists
in the future must abandon their re-
spective organizations and become FULL

OUR FOREIGN POSSESSIONS.

Aside from their marvellous wealth in
natural resources, Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines give abundant prom
Use of yielding products heretofore pur-
ing to. the official report of Secretary Will
son, the United States expends each year
$50, 900, 900 for rubber, $1,000, 600 for Egyp-
tan cotton, and $500, 0GO, 900 for various
tropical products produced by foreign
s%eountries.
Sufficient information has already been
gained to show that this vast annual out
put of none can be kept at home, SO
to speak, by utilizing our new possessions
for the production of the articles named.
Both climate and soil especially adapt the
Philippines, as we'll as Hawaii and Porto
all kinds. and in a few years they will
supply practically everything required in
that line for American consumption.
1t is difficult to over-estimate the Inn
p%ortance of these possibilities, or their
tremendous significance to American
commerce. With the vast carrying trade
in the line of tropical products transferred
from foreign ships to American bottoms,
ship building will take on new life in this
country, with all that implies to our in
dustrial life.
OPPORTUNITIES for the investment OF
American capital to provide for an ade-
quate supply of tropical products will be
readily seized, and the commercial and
industrial enterprise of the republic will
encircle the globe. Expansion means a
new era of prosperity TO, our country, and
more independence in the transaction OF
its business affairs. Ten years hence
anti-expansionists will be as scarce as
snow birds in August.

THE FIGHTING WEST.

|
Oh, East. have 0 heard of the fighting
West
It's deeds in the Philippines
OF the lads who braved with a laugh and
A death mid alien scenes?
Wherever the swarthy foeman made
His walled defense, and where
The brush, the ditch. and the ambuscade,
The men of the West were there.
The jungle e~ncompassed with death
about
Opposed their march in vain;
With a ringing cheer and a joyous shout
They plunged through swamp and cane.
Ihey raked with a pitiless stream of lead
The thicket and ditch. and then
They tended the wounded and buried
their dead,
And ever swept on again.
A turgid river their course would bar;
it's flood n shore
With kissing bullet-but, To-. they are
Stout ~breasting the ford, and DER.
From town to toWn-'twas a weary way.
But who is the lad would lag?-
Through mud and rain n the fierce
SUMS ray
They followed the dear old flag
Oh, East, you have earned your laurel
Wreaths
In many a struggle long.
Your spirit of desperate valor breathes
In story and verse and song.
Now grasp the hand of the best there be
OF valley and plain and crest
From a river broad to a sunlit sea-
The land of the fighting West.

DANIEL As A CANDIDATE.

1t is apparently impossible to suppress
the anti-Bryan feeling in the democracy
of the east and south, Notwithstanding
the pledges of Tammany. In a leading
editorial, the Richmond Times. n of
the most able and influential democratic
newspapers of the south, dominates Sem
ator Daniel for the presidency, as fol-
lows:
If John ". Daniel were nominated for
the presidency upon such a conservative
democratic platform as he would APP
prove, it is our deliberate opinion that.
barring FitZhugh Lee, who is just now
out of politics. he would do more to re-
unite the democratic factions and poll
more democratic votes a any other
man whom the party could select. The
entire south would rally round him with
enthusiasm. Daniel is also popular in
the west. While not opposed to prog
ress. he is in favor of making the cor
porations serve the people. Major Daniel
also has the confidence of the democrats
in the north. 1t is our opinion that if
any democratic candidate can carry New
York state in 1900. John W. Daniel can
do it. A few years ago William j. Bryan
leaped into prominence. He is popular
today. But William J. Bryan has many
political enemies, and if he should be
nominated he would provoke a fight
against him more desperate than any
public man whom the democrats might
put up.
Virginia was formerly known as the
mother of presidents, and it would cheer
the heart of the southern democracy if
that honored appellation could be again
given that ancient commonwealth. Tt
cannot be denied that the candidacy of
thusiasm throughout the south, or that
he would poll a greater vote in New York
and in New England than Colonel Bryan.
The noted Virginian is gifted With rare
oratorical powers, with the Websterian
eye, and features that remind one of the
soulful CLEANS of Edwin Booth. His
personality is striking, and were he
closer to the scar and yellow leaf would
remind one of the typical fine old south
ern gentlemen of the olden time.
But the suggestion of the Richmond
Times is more significant in h it shows
a disposition to find a substitute for
Bryan rather than in bringing Daniel to
the front. If the Nebraska MAJ was
wholly satisfactory to the democracy of
the old dominion, the Times would not
have sought the opportunity, in compli-
menting Daniel, to say that Bryan's
nomination would provoke a more des-
perate fight than that of any other can
didate that could be named by the party.
1t indicates an appreciation of the in
herent weakness of the colonel within
his W party lines, and shows a dispose
ton to shrink from the campaign bur-
dens which his candidacy will imply
While the Daniel movement and the Van
Wyck movement and the German move
n1ent and the Patterson movement may
count for little in heading off the aspira-
tions of Bryan, they indicate a feeling
of intense restlessness over the lead
pipe cinch of the western Achilles.

the democracy, for want of ability to
back on silver. Silver men can afford to
discount that kind of loyalty, however.
This sort of ground hog case fidelity to
free coinage means that campaign pledges
would be forgotten after election. The
worst form of opposition to the true in
t~reachery and Indifference of it's pretend

fledged democrats! The traditions of the
democracy We're held to be so sacred, it's
views as to free trade and other public
questions so important. that no silver
man would be recognized as such UNI
less he creased his conscience and swal-
lowed all the noxious chemical COM
pounds to be found in the political
apothecary shop of the democrati, par

This democratic attempt to place all

With the free coinage issue. was prelim-
mary to the final selection of a para
to the rear. Such a course of conduct
was sufficient to show an inherent lack
of sympathy for practical bimetallism
on the part of the leaders of the demo-
cratic party. 1t indicated a pronounced
political prolapsus of Z. e assumed 10y
atty of that organization to the silver
cause. In the face of these colspicu-
Gus advertisements of d~isloyalty to the
free coinage movement, and the public
declarations made by every democratic
leader of note that the paramount issue
in 1896 must give way to another ques-
ton in no way related to bimetallism,
no self-respecting silver republican or
populist can pin his confidence to the
professions of that party.
Yet a handful of men, who have tied
themselves up to every aim and purpose
of the democracy, who are in full. SYM
pathy with it's declarations as to anti
expansion and anti-everything else that
is advocated by the republican party,
and who are searching for political
crumbs in the slop-jars Of Jeffersonian-
ISM, meet in Chicago and assume to
lion of sensible silver republicans. These
so-called representatives Of the silver
republican party, degenerated into
wheezy switch engines on democracy's
political railroad, have had the colossal
gall to attempt by resolution to COM
nit the organization for which they as
sumo to speak to a fusion with the DEM
ocrats ext year and the Endorsement
of their candidates and platform.
Idiocy of this type can have but one
effect. 1t will disgust silver republic
cans with their so-called provisional
committee. and convert the national
convention of that party into a demo-
cratic auxiliary that will do business
under a cheap disguise that will deceive
no one. With very few exceptions, sill
Yer republicans will refuse to respect
the call of a committee guilty of such
.hish-handed proceedings. They do not
propose to be delivered over to a party
whose treachery to silver is advertised
the bill-boards of every political cir
Gus in the country, months and months
in advance of any definite knowledge as
to what it's policy in 1900 may be re-
specting public issues, or who may be

provisional committee in Chicago has
over-played its hand. 1t has earned
compensation the democracy
see. fit to accord it, perhaps, but it
has also earned the distrust and disgust
of 50 per cent of the silver republican
voters in this nation.
