The TarIae Ratification Meeting.

The enthusiasm of our friends is often
embarrassing. as Mr.. Bryan is doubtless
Just now realizing. He has been making
some speeches recently, in his efforts to
hold Nebraska in line and to accommodate
his friends in Kentucky and Ohio. which
have touched sharply upon the administra-
tons Philippine policy. These speeches
have. of course, been faithfully wired to
the Filipino juntas in Europe and Asia and
thence dispatched by the underground
route to the Tagal headquarters in Luzon.
They have given great satisfaction there,
whatever may have been their effect in the
states. As result Mr. Bryan has been
canonized by his Tagal allies and it is now
reported that at recent ghost dance and
high feasting at Tarlac ordered by the
Tagal panjandrum in honor of the demo-
cratic party of the United States Mr. Bryan
was extolled in the most extravagant
terms. Mr.. Bryan should be pictured in
Filipino history" says one of the Manila
organs Of the insurgents in reporting the
function at Tarlac, with equal glory with
DIR. Rial; Rial. Bryan and Aguinaldo are
the glorious trinity of our political redemp-
ton
Had the Tagal partisans of the Nebraska
leader been more discreet they would per
haps have waited a bit before spring1ng
this combination on the world. 1t cannot
fiatter MIR. Bryan in his heart to be thus
associated at this juncture, and he may
fret under the further reference to himself
as the Lafayette of the Philippines"
But what are Messrs. Hoar, Mason, at
hnson and certain others going to do about
1t? They are entitled to similar recogni-
ton Indeed, they have done more to win
them the right to front seats at the TarIac
barbecue than has even Mr.. Bryan. They
date almost from the earliest beginnings
of Aguinaldo in their love for the Filipino
and their attacks upon the United States
Have they fallen from grace to be thus
ignored when the tom-tom is sounded and
the boos flash?

The mistake which is said to have been
made by the army officials as to the prob
able location of Aguinaldo his next
jump is easily to be understood when one
examines the maps of the Philippine coun-
Try. Just north of Tarlac, on the railroad
line. Is the town of Bayambang. The town
now believed to have been chosen for the
TGgal capital is Bayombong. There is not
such accuracy in the average spelling of
geographical names, especially in such re-
gions Luzon, as to warrant any sus-
plcion of a mistake when words approach
so closely as these two. There is but the
difference of two letters. the same in each
word. which might readily be attributed to
an error in writing or in telegraphy. The
nomenclature of the Luzon cities and towns
is deficient in variety. Besides these two
cities. almost twins in name may be found
ROngabong. over east of Tarlac. and Bonn
BON. very close to the new rebel capital.
There is also a Lake of Bombon. south of
Manila There are also many exactly SIM
liar names. such as San Jose. One of these
is to h found about five miles east of An
geles. one ten miles southeast. another fif-
teen miles north and still another about
fifty-five miles northeast. There is a San
Hdefonso three miles south of Angeles and
another twerty-Ihree miles east. There
are Two San Isidros on a line north of Ba-
color. within fifteen miles of the latter
place. And so goes the repetition. The fu-
sion of Spanish and native minds has not
resulted in much originality. The calendar
of saints and the explosive vocabulary of
the Filipinos have been jointly drawn upon
to the utter confusion of the American
mind Much of the difficulty arises from
the fact that the populat ton is not migra-
tory in the least. living within tribal lin
it's and thus contenting itself with it's i'm
mediate surroundings In this manner
there is no native confusion Of geograph-
zeal names, for but few of the inha bitants
ever encounter more than one town of the
same name, so restricted Is their personal
sphere. Aguinaldo. it may be noted, is by
this time one of the most travelled of Fill
ipinos. somewhat against his will. but
nevertheless active in his peregrinations in
front of the American forces.

The Washington Centennial.
From the Kansas City Star.


The President of the United States has
appointed the governors of all the states
OF the Union as committee to prepare. in
connection with the local committee of the
District of Columbia, the plans for a ma
tlonai celebration in the year 1900 of the
establishment of the seat of government AT
Washington city.
In spite of the misjudgment which placed
the capital of the United States away OH
to one side of the republic and in the face
ton has grown to be a popuious and beauti-
full city. 1t is doubtful whether 1t will ever
cease to be the national seat of govern
ment, though it Is reached with considera-
BILE Inconvenience by large majority OF
the people who go there on public business
OF to see the points of interest in which II
abounds. 1t is becoming more popular
every year a place of residence and
H.any public men of wealth have built there
luxurious mansions
The celebration of the founding of the
city 100 years after its esta blishment will
illustrate in an impressive manner the re-
narkable power of the American people In
the development of their institutions The
growth of Washington and its transforma-
ton from a shabby and struggling town
into a magnificent city, with the finest
boulevards in America, is in itself a grand
testimonial to the spirit of nation which
has reached the highest summit of power In
a little more than a century.
The Washington centennial will be an
event in which all of the states will Join
with hearty good will and with the display
of loyalty which is becoming in the people
to feel for the center of government.

A Political Machine.

A good deal of skepticism prevails about
the machine in politics. Many people
declare that the machine is but another
name for organization. And then they add
that IS organization is absolutely neces-
sary in politics, all denunciations of the
machine are either foolish or hypocriti-
cal. II those who hold TO this view will
but turn their eyes 10 Kentucky just now
they will find a situation full of instruc-
ton for them for others.
Mr.. GOebel is the architect and builder OF
a political machine. The work it is de-
signed to do is 50 plain there are no deniaIs
OF concealments on the subject. At the
close OF the election in 1896. when it was
found that the state had given twelve of
her thirteen electoral votes TO Mckinley
Mr.. Goebel and his friends at once raised
the cry Of fraud. They loudly asserted that
Mr. Hanna had bought the gold democrats
with the Louisville COurier-Jourier at their
head. out OF hand, and in the same breath
asserted that If it was possible to prevent
II. such thing should never happen in the
, state again And with only this trumpery
lie for basis they drafted and passed the
Goebel election law.
That law puts suffrage in the state COM
pletely at the mercy of partisan electson

and Whiie there were complaints here and

tive years, but never as the result of stuffing
ballot boxes or tampering with tally sheets.
! But when st went for Mckinney in 1886, Mr..
Goebel charged that the state had been

Desert in Order to Fight.

Recently received copies of the Honolulu
newspapers contain occasional accounts of
the trouble experienced by the army off,
GERS in charge of the detachment of troops
at that port, by reason of many desertions
There is a popularity about these deser-
tons, however which distinguishes them
from all others, and which reflects the
spirit animating the American army today

from the garrison camp and hide them
selves in The holds of the army TRANSPORTS
which touch at that port. 1t Is most sgnifi-
cant that In every case thus far noted the

Francisco These deserters have simply
been anxious to leave the quiet of garri-
son duty in peaceful Hawaii for the dam

his performance of duty. This is in fact

The Filipino Non-combatant,.

Since his arrival In the Philippines, Gen.
Wheeler has written a number of letters
home which his correspondents have wise
ly given TO the public. They have proved
to be both interesting and informing and
the latest. which finds it way into print
from Alabama, contains suggestion of I'M
usual Importance. After referring to the
harm done by the Aguinaido Aid Society
in the United States in encouraging the
Filipnos in arms, Gen. Wheeler makes this
additional statement respecting the socie-
tvs actions:
1T also has bad effect in this-that peo-
pie who are disposed to be favorable to us
and who desire us to govern the islands
fear to assert themselves because they
know that if they should do SO and the
Americans should abandon them they would
be in great, danger of their lives, and in
all probability their property would be con-
tscated."
This suggestion could not easily be over
alued- 1t is very much to the point. Agui-
naldos forces are estimated at only about
twenty thousand men. But they are armed
and organized, and of course exercise a
terrorizing influence over all the non-com-
batants- In the absence of the United
States they could easily make themselves
for period at least-the masters of Lu-
ION. and while in supreme authority could,
and as Gen. Wheeler believes probably
would, bitterly Cypress those who had
fhown any open friendship for the Amer
leans while the newcomers remained. The
friendship of these people is in every way
most valuable, and 1t ought to be secured
as promptly possible.
There is but one way to deal successfully
with the F'iiipinos, whether we consider the
very small number in arms, or the millions
who are merely observers of the struggle.
One and all should be impressed with the
fact that the United States has come to
stay; that 1t is neither a vacilating nor
prosecuting nation; that in return for
submission to its authority it has to offer
the best and most liberal government the
Filipinos may at any time be capable of
supporting. To those who then may still
hold out against Us the sword is the only
thing. But by a large majority of all the
others our outstretched hand is likely to
be taken and our promises accepted. The
orientals are not alone in distrusting and
despising a wobbler. Whether in man or
nation, the faculty of firmness and de-
c.E!on is of great consequence; and it is
plain enough now that one of our difficult
ties-probably our greatest difficulty-in Lu-
zon is the opinion obtaining there that We
may change our minds any day and quit
the field.

Candidate. and PIatforms-I9Oo.

1t Is generally believed that next year
nominations for the presidency are already
as good as made. Mr.. Mckinley will again
be the republican candidate. and MI Bryan
the democratic-populist candidate. But how
about the platforms?
Mr.. Mckinley, of course. must stand on
the record. That commits him to sound
money. protection and expansion And
whatever Congress shall do at the coming
session on the subject of the currency and
on that of trusts will still further commit
him The partys performances up to date.
therefore, will be the republican platform.
Mr. Bry1n, II is true, still stands on the
Chicago platform. But what does that
promise for next year? 1t has been three
times rejected-in the presidential cam
paIgn of 1896, in the congressional cam
paigns of 1888. and in all but two OF the
state campaigns of this year The demo-
cratic victory in Maryland was largely the
result of ignoring the Chicago platform
The party omitted all mention of 1t, and
nominated a gold man for governor. The
results in Mississippi and Nebraska alone
are in line with the Chicago platform

standing army chatter is nonsense. The
man who talks about the menace TO seven

OF an army Of hundred thousand men
might well talk about the burden of a
public debt OF a hundred thousand dollars.
And as for that spook of a secret alliance
between the United States and England,
raised aloft to alarm and prejudice voters
of German birth or extraction. the recent
cementing of strong friendship between
England and Germany makes that ridicu-
lOuS
There is nothing, then, today which
promises Mr.. Bryan any returns at the
polls next year. If his campaign is to re-
ceive boost it must be from some devel-
opment between now and then; and that
development, to be available for his pur-
poses, must be in the nature of some dis

A Black Eye for the Ants.



There Is one fact that stands out clearly
in the recent elections, and that Is the ut
ter futility of making anti-expansion q
part of the democratic creed. Wherever
the anti-expansion issue was pressed the
people jubiantly manifested their disap-
probation of it. Ohio is enthusiasts tically
expansiCnist Mr.. Bryan made anti-expan-
sion speeches In Ohio and Kentucky, and
the candidates he stood sponsor for have
both been defeated. His siren plea for
anti-expansion could not prevent the over
whelming defeat of Mclean in Ohio OF
rescue Goebel from disaster in Kentucky.
In both these states tSis evident that the
plea for Aguinaldo and the backward step
is not one to conjure with.
On Mr.. Bryans advice the democrats
made the fight on expansion in Iowa. with
the result that Iowa largely increased the
republican, majority. In Kansas and South
Dakota republican gains are noted In
Massachusetts the anti cause received a
terrible black eye In New York state the
republicans have made decisive gains. All
these things indicate beyond peradventure
that the people indorse expansion.
