Not an Endorsement of Policy

The democratic platform in Ohio
upon which Mr.. Mclean ran, dealing
with the subject of Imperialism, says:
We are radically and unalterably OPP
posed to imperialism. We demand
that the Cubans and Filipinos not
only be permitted but encouraged to
establish Independent republics, de-
irving all of their governmental
power from the consent of the gov
erned."
The independent candidate for gov
ernor, Mayor Jones. during the whole
of mis- canvass, constantly reiterated
his opposition to the republican policy
of criminal aggression and since
the election has issued a signed state
ment, from which the following is
quoted: Il believe the nOnpartisan
vote of Ohio may be recorded as favor
ing a christian policy toward the
Philippines. Personally l believe the
Filipinos have a right to be free as
well as the Americans, and L have
frankly said so whenever the question
was raised
On observation, then, the total
vote of the three candidates would
not seem to indicate any substantial
foundation for the reJoicings of the
friends of the administration policy
of Imperialism and their declaration
that the result in Ohio was 4 vindica-
ton of President Mckinley's course.
The total vote shows that Nash re-
ceived about 435, 900. Mclean $50 600
and Jones 100, 900, which leaves the
republican candidate in a minority of
40 600 IL can hardly be counted by
the most hopeful of forcible annexa-
tion ''rooters' that their cause has
been upheld in Ohio, when the opPo-
sition polls a majority of such size.
There may be some consolation to
Mckinley, personally, over the result,
but it needs an exceptional vision to
locate the cause for the expansion-by-
force cheer.

there is a possibility of a breach in
the friendly relations of this govern
ment and those of the South African
repu blics, which are engaged in war
with Great Britain, the following from
pos, as voicing the natural non-biased
sentiments of the American people:
Editorials such as the London
Times congratulating England on the
support of the Americans in her
war with the Beers, are an insult
to American intelligence, to Ameri-
can sense of justice, TO American de-
votion to the principles of their faith
ers' declaration of independence from
the CALLING yoke of British oPpres-
sion. 1t is an insult for the London
Times to class Americans with the
sultan of Turkey, trying to curly
favor with the monev-bags of Lom-
bard street, as sympathizing with the
British in their reverses in Natal and
Cape Colony. President Kruger, of
the Transvaal republic, in talking
with an American traveller some time
ago, said:
g 1t has been my custom for years
always to include in my morning
prayer to Almighty God petition
for the preservation of your great re-
public, your United States of Amer
lea
Why should President Kruger do
this? Because his heart and those of
his people are imbued with the same
liberty loving spirit of the Dutch
colonists along the Hudson, with the
shirt of NashincrtOn and Jefferson
and because in working out his plan
for the independence of South Africa.
the great American republic was his
model, its heroes were his heroes, and
he felt that when the trying ordeal of
conflict came, as it was sure to come
-foreseeing as American patriots
foresaw the revolution-he was sure
Of the sympathy. the moral support,
aud doubtless, if need be, the material
aid of the American people"

Paris, Feb. Is. - The Matin says:
s'Was he not born under lucky star,
this man, whose whole life was moth
ing but a long success? Did he end
by believing himself Destined from all
time to the summit to which he rose!
We do not wish to know if the giddi-
ness of greatness seized him to the ex-
tent of making him forget the humble
friends of old. Others. after all, We're
as much to blame for it as he.'
The Figaro says: II don't think that
on this prematurely opened coffin will
fall a single word of hatred or con-
tempt that is really deserved. 1t is not
the death of the president that is dang
erous for the country, but the choice Of
his successor. That may bring disor-

Washington, Feb. IS. - The house
finally passed the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, to which it had devoted
over a week. No important amend
had been adopted. The speakers rul-
ing upon the motion to recommit the
BILL With Instructions to incorporate in
it the Nicaragua canal amendment
was sustained-155 to 96. The naval
appropriation bill was taken up and
over half the bill was completed dur
ing the remainder Of the day. There
was no general opposition to the meas
ure, although it carries $44 100000 be-
ing SS,00O,OOO more than the largest
naval appropriation bill ever passed

tween the government and the Fitch

The Senate.
At its session yesterday the senate
adopted resolution instructing the
vice president OF the United States, as
president of the senate, to express to
the government and people of France
the sympathy of the senate in the be-
reavement that has fallen upon the
French republic in the death of Pres,
ident Faure. The naval personnel bill
for which the navy department has
been contending for so many years
was passed by the senate. 1t was I'M
der discussion for several hours but
was passed practically in the form in
which it was reported by the senate
committee. Its provisions have here
tofore been fully given. The remain
der of the days session was devoted
to passage Of bills on the private pen
sion calendar, seyenty-four in NUMBER,
and to the reading of the Alaska code
bill. The agreement under which the
Alaska bill was read provided that no
other business than the formal reading
should be transacted.
