a little growing by those who are
not we'll informed about the great
republican victory in Massa-
chusetts. What nonsense again!
The democrats expected nothing
in Massachusetts, and made no
fight there. The state of Massa-
chusetts, $4,000 republican in 1898
drops to $4,000 this year. In
Pennsylvania, which gave Nc
Kinley nearly 100000 plurality in
1896, the grand old party lost
by tens of thousands, and, though
leading at the finish, looks like a
hen which had been trying unsuc-
cessfully for four days to follow a
duck across lake. And what of
Ohio? The republican candidate
is elected by some $4,000, 10000
less than the plurality of 1898,
and more than 10000 less than a
majority of the votes of the state.
This looks like an endorsement of
Mckinley, Hanna, the trusts and
expansion done in oil with the
left hand. In Iowa the republi-
cans actually nearly held their
own and in South Dakota where
the farmers are utilizing this beau
tiful November weather to the
utmost in doing their fall blowing
and threshing their grain, the
republicans made gain. There
we're no state tickets in either New
York or New Jersey and therefore
no state contest IN any sense.
Let those people who are fond
of playing with such fire as the
trusts, imperialism and Eilitarism
go dancing on to their doom while
Hanna handles the violin. The
American people still have the
Declaration of Independence in
full view and they have not yet
voted to tear it to tatters and
forget one hundred and twenty
years of the most glorious ex-
istence under the flag Of freedom
in the history Of the world.

THE AFTERMATH.

The average republican spell
binder or newspaper gets to lying
with such regularity and enthusi-
asm before election that he goes
on reckoning without his almanac
after the contest is over. Hence,
after Tuesdays little brush IN a
dozen states, nearly all of which
are republican as regularly as the
rising and setting Of the sun, we
note in republican papers ''grcat
republican victories" and "tre-
emendous republican gains
Now, let's get down to official
calculations and see just what
happened Tuesday. In Nebraska
the republicans knowing the state
to be the home OF the leading
democratic candidate, made a
night-and-day canvass to beat that
gentleman and take him out of
the race before the democratic
national convention. What hap
pened? Nebraska, which gave a
fusion plurality Of 2,72l in 1898,
gave a fusion plurality of $1,000.
In Maryland there was straight
party fight between a democratic
and a republican candidate for
governor and the democrat won
by a majority of over $4,000, and
yet at the election Of 1893 the
republicans won by 7.lO9. In
Kentucky late returns indicate
that Goebel, democrat, is defeated
by few less than 1000 votes, but
no one is foolhardy enough to
claim that republican victory.
With a candidate Of average popu-
larity in the. field against q straight
republican, Kentucky would have
gone democratic, and by a majority
Of at least 10000 votes? It ia
wholly unnecessary to mention
Mississippi and Virginia. They
we're expected to 90 democratic
and they did 50 with proper en-
phasis. Here and there We bear

WE MAKE THE SURRENDER.

In late issue of the Washing
ton Post, which has become
agitated frequntly of late over the
opposition to President Nc
Kinley's un-American policy of
imperialism, devotes considerable
editorial space to comments on
the agreement whereby this gov
eminent sanctions slavery and
polygamy and promises to main
tain the Sulu Sultan's harem.
The Post does not deny that the
United States government is placed
in an embarrassing position by
means of this treaty or agreement.
ut must be admitted" it says,
"that the liberation of polygamy
under our flag is one Of the un-
pleasant incidents Of the Philip
pine situation And this tolera-
ton Is to be permanent necessity
the Post seems to think, inasmuch
as il makes the following astonish-
ing announcement of willingness
to surrender American principles
and standards of decency rather
than to offend the presumably
formidable Sulu monarch; cit is,
however, a direct and inevitable
result Of the Paris treaty. All
that and much more that is not in
harmony with American ideas and
customs is IN the treaty?
The American people will be
astounded at this view Of the re-
sponsibility incurred when their
government assumed control of
Philippine matters. The argu-
ment then used, and the stock
argument of the imperialists to-
day, claimed that civilization was
to be advanced by American
sovereignty in the far east, that
benighted heather were to be up
lifted and enlightened and morally
bettered. We were to raise those
peoples to our standard, not to
descend to theirs. This was the
main excuse for American agrees
sion in the Orient, and the plea
was worked FOR all it was worth.
Therefore it will not be CRAFTY
Jag to Americans to learn that the
administration was consciously
and with purpose surrendered to
savagery by recogn izing and sane
tioning barbarous customs and
moral codes mot in harmony with
American ideas and customs"
We are not likely to elevate the
Sulus or Filipinos to any marked
extent under this system of con-
formity to their standards. The
frank confession Of the Post on
behalf Of the imperialists is com.
mended to the attention of Ameri-
can deople as outlining an utterly
