The Anaconda Standard will never
get over abusing Mark Hanna for the
fearful drubbing he gave the Demo-
cratic pnrty ns manager OF the Re-
publican national campaign in 1896.
The election of Bryan. the Standard
figured, meant the doubling In price
of the silver output of the Anaconda
company, regardless OF how it affect
ed the balance OF the country. Every
time Mr.. Hanna appears i'm print the
Standard editor snarls like n spitz
pup behind n stone fence. Mr.. Hanna
has seen something Of the W rid,
ven though he never had the pleas
nre of visiting Anaconda or eading
the Standard, and will probably
never regret any of his utterauccs be-
cause they do not lind favor with the
copper kings personal organ.

PATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS.

The great majority of the American
people are loyal to the % r. When
the flag uf their country Is assailed
purity lines become as ropes of sand.
In such n crisis patriotism, not party
traditions. rule their thoughts and
actions. And this Is a fortunate
thing for the perpetuity Of our insti-
tutions and the material interests of
the country. During the civil war,
and again in 1916, thousands of Dem
ocrats voted with the Republicans
because they considered the policies
and attitude of their party inimical
to the country's best interests-the
politicians having got off wrong.
Whatever may be the form of gov
eminent meted out to the people of
the Philippines, howevermuch states
men may differ on that question. the
tendency OF a radical element in the
Democratic party to denuunce the
war, aided by n handful of Miss
Nancics" of former Republican afilli-
ations, is causing patriotic Demo-
Gratis tn declare themselves in no I'M
certain manner.
Not long since that gray-headed
veteran Of the civil war, Gen. John
NJ. Palmer, gave uttrrance To the fol-
lowing:
mo party can he successful be-
fore the American people which
would require Il armies to abandon
Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines.
1t would be regarded as n humiliu-
tiOn OF American arms To abandon
either. Dewey, 10y his destruction Of
the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, in
vOlved the country in unexpected
strife, and the treaty oi peace which
followed it imposed upon the coun-
try responsibilities which it cannot
avoid"
The views of Henry Watterson are
too well known To require repetition.
But another leading paper Of the
south has spoken. The Atlanta Com
stitution with true loyalty says:
The Constitution IL a Democratic
newspaper, differing with the admin
istratiun and the policy Of President
Mckinley in 80 far AZ II relates To Re-
publican issues. The Constitution is
an American newspaper and has no
bullets to fire into the backs Of the
men who are awaiting A~guinuldo's
attack. This illustration completely
defines our position i'm regard to the
present phase of the Philippine ques-
ton.
And IL says further:
No question OF politics, no trim
ming of sails, no debating of details.
hut godspeed and triumph for the
men on the firing line. That il the
policy, the spirit, the grit which pa
triotism calls for.
And now comes eX-Gov. Pattison
OF Pennsylvania, the only Democrat
who has been elected governor Of
that state for years, and says:
"MIy duty as an American citizen
commands my support OF the coun-
try's president at this ju%ncture. tits
vain and idle to speculate about
what we shall do with the islands, or
what sort of government we shall
set up, or how much self-government
we shall extend to the natives until
we have solved the immediate ques
ton"
And there are Others. But these
are enough To show the trend Of SEN
timent and show how futile and in
famous IL the effort to make political
capital over a war that could not be
averted and that must be brought to
a successful issue.

PROSPERITY TO BE PERMANENT.

Mr.. James IL Witty, of the Improved
Mercantile Agency, is among those who
have confidence that RichmOnd's present
prosperity I'm general trade is here TO
stay at least. for awhile. The recent
financial scare frightened money some, but
it's effect cannot impede legitimate busi-
ness enterprise; ID will only make those
few more conservative whose tendencies

gratifying sign he notes rs the strides
made during the past year i'm the manu-
featuring branches-cOnsiderng Rich
mond naturally a manufacturing city and
well located as an important JObblng CEN
tire.
Looking back ten years bank clearings
have increased about sixty millions: man
ufactures over ten millions, and jObbing
six millions. while the next census will
hardly show a population OF less than
l25.OoO.
Much has been accomplished during the
latter part OF the last year but the in
fiuences attracting capital and enterprise
are stll alive and al work. With the pro-
per realization Of the new era OF affairs
and some EFFORT towards continued ad-
vancement, Richmond is destined TO rank
