An Honest Opinion.

A very remarkable interview with
Ex-Governor Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, appeared in the Sunday issue
of the New York Tribune. 1t is re-
markable because of the views ex-
pressed by the Ex-Governor concern
ing the political situation and what
should be the attitude of the Demo
cratic party in the national campaign
next year. Mr. Pattison has recently
been suggested by certain class Of
Democratic leaders as a possible can
didate for the presidency next year
He has been travelling through some
of the states the past few weeks and
was on the way to his home in Phila-
delphia when interviewed in New
York. Among other views expressed
we quote the following as of special
interest
Il found everywhere in the West
unparalleled prosperity, not in manu-
factures only, but in agricultural pur-
suits. Farmers are getting good
prices for their products. AS they
constitute the great mass of the voters
of this country, they form an import
ant element, possibly the most i'm
portant in all political calculations.
Besides, the relations of the United
States to the commerce and markets
of the world are different from what
they were four years ago. The people,
/ find, fully understand this Then
there was great paralysis in industries
of all kinds. Some attributed it to
the financial question, and others to
various distempers, real or imagined,
in the economic system of the country.
"No matter what was thought
about it, everybody knows the re-
suit. We are now approaching an
other campaign, this time with pros.
perity everywhere. / do not think
the farmers and wage workers, with
wages increasing, orders coming in
from all over the world, and every
workingman and every dollar o.
capital put to the severest tension tC
keep up with the demands of trade
will stop long to discuss or even con
slider obsolete issues
The Ex-Governor also placed him
self in opposition to those Of hi
party leaders who style themselves a.
opponents to expansion or i'm
peralism, and in line with the sup
Dorters of President Mckinley so fa
as the Philippine question is con
cerned. He says "After becoming
possessed of these outlying countrie
AS the result Of a victorious war W,
cannot abandon them. If we CAV,
up the Philippines Germany, Franc,
or England would take them al
gladly. They would never revert t.
Spain, and they certainly would no
be left in the hands Of the nativ
population"
Mr.. Pattison has dealt the ''calam
fty howlers" and anti-expansionists
body blow, and at the same tim
killed his prospects Of receiving tn
nomination Of the Democratic part
for President. 1t is the policy Of tn
yellow Journals aud the followers O
Bryan to deny that there is an in
provement in business circles, or con
ditions Of any kind exist that tend e.
bring happiness and contenment L
she people.
