Opposed to Expansion.

Many think 1T strange that the
Democratic party as an organization
should oppose expansion in view of
its traditions. Individual Demo-
Gratis are scarce who wish the gov
ernment to withdraw the troops
from Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines and abandon these
countries that belong to us as right
fully as Alaska or Arizona, yet to be
consistent and logical as anti-expan-
sionists that is the inevitable con-
clusion. The Democrats denounce
expansion and yet stand ready to
execrate the administration at the
suggestion of backing out" If
they disapprove Of the policy of the
administration let them recommend
a better one. Every Democratic
representative in Congress. voted for
the war. Having committed the
party to the war it is pusillanimous
to retreat in the face of an enemy
and it is absurd to ask the Ameri-
lean nation to disgrace itself by such
cowardly action. Every man
knows in his soul as well as he can
know future event that this war
will be fought to a successful conclu-
sion and no probable contingency
can intervene to prevent this con-
summation. Even w. ]. Bryan, the
oracle of the Democratic party, said
in San Francisco a few weeks ago
that he would not advise the gov
eminent to withdraw the army from
the Philippines until the insured
ton is suppressed, and yet the party
as such denounces the policy which
Democrats as individuals approve.
Theirs is an anomalous condition.
The Rev. S. A. Steel, famous
lecturer of Mississippi, in a speech
at st. Louis last week explained the
of the Democratic party in
diligently in few words; 81 am
Democrat from the crown of my
head to the sole of my feet, but it
amuses me to hear Democrats rails
ing the cry of 'anti-expansion,' for
the Democratic party has always ia
vored expansion and claims credit
for the acquisition of all the vast ter
ritory that has been added to the
domain of this magnificent country.
There is just one way to explain
this anomaly-the administration
favors it and Democrats are opposed
to the administration" What pro-

The government is recruiting two
volunteer negro regiments for service
in the Philippines. 1t has also au-
thorized Col. Tillman Of South Car
DINA to enlist regiment of Indians
for the same service. This line OF
policy meets with approval. The
negro can endure the heat of the
tropics without detriment to his
health, he is incased with a tough
integument and his skull is consid-
cred bullet proof. Our colored SOL
diers have proved themselves good
fighters in the civil war, in cam
paigns against the Indians, and In
Cuba. They are more ready IN obe-
dience and more patient under the
restraint of military discipline than
white volunteer troops. The lndl-
an is also good fighter "from way
back" but the Philippine climate
may hasten his demise to the happy
hunting grounds where his fore.
fathers have preceded him.

of business, organizers and pushers
of great industrial enterprises, were
conspicuous for their absence. The

THE COMING ASIATIC.

MIR. Townsend showed in his letter
yesterday that he made his statement
that nearly half of the generation to
be born on these Islands would
be composed of Asiatics, after care
full calculation and was not car
ried away by the mere number of Ash
atics on the Islands. But even on this
calculation he finds 40 per cent and not
half as his result. The Star has already
published its reasons for thinking that
Mr.. Townsend's views were incorrect,
his letter does not alter the position of
The Star The letter centers its ideas
upon the Asiatic to the exclusion of all
others.
Taking his first table, Mr.. Townsend
dwells on the fact that the Asiatic wo-
men, numbering 24per cent of the popu-
lation, are credited with 25 per cent of
the children under l year of age, he
loses sight that the Portuguese women,
who numbered 10 per cent of the popu-
lation, are credited with "a per cent of
the children under l year, and that of
children between l and years,
these same Portuguese women are cred
tied with % per cent while the Aslatics
are credited with % per cent. Moreover
the Portuguese have 26 per cent of those
between and Is, while the Asiatic has
but IL per cent. And from this 26 per
cent during the last three years there
must have been considerable acces-
sion to the ranks of Portuguese moth
ers, a race, it must be remembered that
averages 5.6S children per mother, as
against 1.65 per mother of japanese and
2.SS per mother of Chinese. While the
Asiatic may be taking steps, it can be
shown that the Portuguese is taking
strides, and in smaller degree the pro-
gress of the part Hawaiian might be
shown to be very large.
The main part of Mr.. Townsend 5
argument is based, however, upon get
ting at the number of women of each
nationality between the ages Of Is and
As and considering them as possible
mothers. Upon this plan he arrives at
the result that So per cent of the posi-
BILE mothers on December 81, 1898 were
Asiatics, and if this is the case, he con-
siders that 40 per cent is not too great
an estimate for the coming generation
of Asiatcs ... ....
But one is not disposed TO allow Mr.
Townsend all his possible mothers. In
the maternity statistics if 1896, which
We're calculated Upon all above 10 years
of age, without subtracting those who
were over As, and are therefore more
favorable to the Asiatics upon the
showing of the argument, the percent
age of Asiatic mothers to the total fe-
male Asiatic population above Is was
43.9. The percentage of the Portuguese
mothers to the same class of population
was r.. AZ, that of Hawaians IS. SO, and
of part Hawaiians So. "a.
Viewed in this light the figures claim
ed would tumble to pieces. That Mr..
