paraphrases of the crime that destroy

OF intense sympathy.

letter contained one that she hal writ

The Issue. 'Tis Made.

Turn and twist, argue and explain a!
they may, the Mckinley administration
and its imperialistIc cohorts can not I'M
make the issues they have made.
The unwarranted condition now ex.
listing in the Philippines, will be the
bane of The Republican party in thu
next presidential cam0aign, and they
seem to realize it but alas! too late.
They have promised, in the blindness
of their hopes, an early cessation Of the
unhOly war, that was stated by them
without right or authority, but the Fill
iplnos will not down. The fight is
against right and liberty in the name Of
right and liberty and benevolent assimil-
alton.
That the danger of this issue to Re-
publican party is beginning to dawn
upon the clouded vision of Mckinley and
biz abetters, is evident upon every hand,
and with the desperation of drowning
men they arc fighting to keep it off.
The Boston Herald, originally an ar
dent opponent of imperialism and ag-
erosion, but suddenly snapped ends,
no doubt blinded by the glare Of pos
sible dukedom or earldom In the king
dom of Mckinley, u now evidently sor-
py of its change, for it scents the danger
that is treatening, for instance it says:
ss1harn caauRs 70 ha EttIo
pect that the insuryent warfare in the
Philippine Islands viii be brought to q
conclusion before the next cool season.
This Is likely to carry the question
over as an unsettled one into The politi-
cal campaign of the. fall, and it is by
no means impossible, Judging by pres
ent appearances, that the issue, shall or
shall not the war In the Philippines be
continued? will become the most prom
inent political Issue brought before the
country. 1t has been possible thus far
70 obtain an absolute authoritative test OF
public opinion. Gr. Emil Pretorlous has
recently said that of the 900 German.
American newspapers published in the
United States, not one Is in favor of our
retention of the Philippine Islands. This,
If 1t is true, Is certainly startling state
nsent, because these paper circulate
among number Of millions of German
American readers. This feeling of re-
eistance cannot be confined to. the Ger
man Americans alone, for the Irish
Americans have In many instances ex-
pressed themselves In the opposition.
IL the campaign in the Philippines had
been, before this, brought to an end By
the surrender Of Aguinaldo, the carry
n rtff toct To 81
would have been aVoioed, bnt such a
solution seems to US now improbable.
And this from paper that promised
afew days ago that the war in. the PHI
ippines was about over, "Aguinaldo is
suing for peace is significant.

1t is hard to believe as reported that

that the meeting was at the Mecca of

Col. John McGrath of the Truth; High

Senator Matthew 5 ouay of Penn

Ex- Senator Matthews Quay of Penn
sylvania was acquitted by jury of "his
peers for conspiracy in the misuse OF
State funds. but he stands convicted in
the eyes of the people of the whole
country. But such is the condition in
that politically rotten State. And TO cap
the climax, the Governor of that great
commonwealth, in violation of law and
all precedenis, appointed the said Quay
TO the United States Senate after tue
Legislature, which had adjourned the
day before, had refused to elect him,
yet his party, the republicans, have a
large majority IN both branches of that
legislature.
In discussing the matter the American
one of the most influential Republican
papers Of Pennsylvania saws:
"But what of the Republican party
IN Pennsylvania and IN the United
States? How long Will it be able 10
stagger under the oppressive burden of
such revelations as the Quay trial dis
closed? Acquitted. with mountain of
accusing testimony unanswered. Quay
-Republican-goYernOr. in defiance of
law. precedent, and the will of the leg
islature, appoints Quay to the seat in
the Senate he so long dIShOnored and
from which he was driven by the moral
uprising and revolt in his party. The
man who would silently take a verdict
of acquittal such that Quay managed to
get yesterday Will doubtless take a Sat
in the Senate under such an appoint
ment. The one IsAs worthy and honor
able as the other. and the one Is a fitting
sequel to the other. But the evidence
presented on the trial to establish
Quay's guilt still lives, and the case
against him will be tried on that EVIL
dence at the firesIdeS of honest citizens
all over the land, and from the verdict
there rendered by the undeDauched con-
'clence of the people Quay will find no
'Scape, In that forum legal acts and |
eSal jngglerY will be of no avail"

our State Po1Itics.

Although our next State election IS nj
yet many months distant. all kind o.
speculation is being INDUCED In BY The
press and people relative to the prob
able personnel of the next Demo
cratic State ticket. The names Of sew
eral prominent men from various Sec
tions of the State lhave been suggested
worthy subjects for the gubernatorial
nomination. while there are some peo-
pie who hold that Senator McEnery
! is the proper man. and in fact the only
available candidate for the position.
1t Is rather premature TO discuss this
question definitely but the Democrat be-
lieves that there are many good men In
| LOUISIANA, whose Democracy Is OF the
purest water, from which governor
might be selected without going TO the
Unlted States Senateifor Il candidate. 1t
Il argued by the auhrrents OF McEnery
that be is the only man In Louisiana
who can unite AL forces under single
standard aud score victory for the
Democratic party.
We are cot inclined towards the same
belief. Twice Mr.. McEhery was nOml-
mated for governor and twice he was
defeated ard defeated by another Dem
Ocratic candidate each time, which
clearly shOwedlthat he was not the only
man about whom the Democracy would
rally. 1t is true, 1t was he who saved
the Democracy at the last legislative
election for U. S. Senator. 1t was upon
him that all the Democratic forces CEN
tered, when they realized that all hope
for their respective candidates was LOST
and though be saved the Democracy AMI
was elected his election was the result
of compromise by the factions entered
INTO AT The last moment, as he was not n
for the position. The course |
which, Mr.. McEnery has pursued in the !
Senate has not altogether met with the /
approval OF all of the members of the
Democratic party in Louisiana, and as a
result, MANY of his staunchest friends
Of the past might in tue future be found
sTIayec against him
Tue Democratic party is stronger and
more firmly united to-day than it has
ever been. The splendid administration
