Democracy and Lynchinss.


The twentieth plank In the Ohio
Democratic platform says:
"We deplore the frequent and out
rageous exercise Of lynch law In this
and other states, especially against our
colored citizens, and we recommend
the adoption Of prompt and efncient
measures to suppress such unwar-
ranted acts of violence"
The colored people are not likely to
be caught by this bait They know
that in Republican states lynchings
are very rare; but in Democratic
states they are common. In fact, the
proportion in Democratic states is
more than 20 to in Republican
states as proved by official statistics-
They rightly think that the best
way to secure prompt and eficient
methods to suppress such unwarranted
acts of violence" is to bring the Dsm-
ocratic states into the Republican
ranks, and Undue them with the spirit
OF the Republican Proclamation Of
Emancipation" That would do vastly
more toward securing all the colored
men wish in this respect than to make
Ohio Democratic this fall.

Ex-Gov Boutwell, was unable to attend
yesterdays opening session of the anti
imperialists conference at Chicago, but he
sent a letter in which he said:
Massachusetts will be represented in the
conference. but the state has already so
declared its opinions that its further action
can be forecast. The democratic party has
denounced the war in the Philippines and
the republican party has refused to sane
ton the doings OF the President, and it has
traversed his policy by demanding peace
and recognition of the right of self-govern-
ment in those whom the President is seek
ing to subdue to his will.
This is rather stretch of the imagination
for the venerable Massachusetts statesman.
His memory must be failing him, his
powers of Interpretation of plain English
are growing feeble. 1t is impossible to
believe him guilty of deliberate misstate-
ment. What the republicans of his state
did say about the President and the war in
Luzon, in their platform adopted at the
recent convention. was:
We express our confidence in the patri-
otto ideals of President Mckinley and the
high qualities of craftsmanship with which
he has impressed them on his adminstra-
ton. The recent war with Spain.
which was neCessitated by humanity, has

suits so speedily and splendidly attained.
skill and the statesmanlike spirit with
which the President has approached the
perpleXing problems arising from the war.
Under the treaty with Spain, the law of
nations put upon the United States the re-
sponsibility for the peace and security of
life and property, the welI-being and the
future government of the Philippine Is
lands; accepting this responsibility, it IS
our profound trust that the present hostil-
tiles can be brought to an early termina-
ton, and that Congress, guided by a wise
and patriotic administration, will establish
and maintain in those islands. hitherto the
home of tyrants, a government as free, as
liberal and as progressive as our own"
Mr.. Boutwell, may have been msled. along
with other anti-imperialists, into believing
that the way to end the war in Luzon is to
foment the strife by encouraging the ma
tives to hope for the impossible in the shape
of a government more free. more liberal
and more progressive than our own. The
republicans who drew and adopted the
platform just quoted think differently.
They. in common with the majority of
Americans. believe that the way to end the
war is to fight hard and to stop talking.

The anti-expansion campaign has reached

a Short Campaign.

The following appeared in yesterday
New York Tribune:
Richard Croker favors a late national
convention for the democrats next year.
He believes Bryan will be nominated, but
thinks the convention should be held as
late as possible. 1t is a good thing to let
the other fellows show their hand said Mr..
Croker last night. We are in no hurry. 1t
is a good thing to get a line on what the
republicans are doing, shape our cOnYen-
ton action to meet it and then start in and
make a hard, sharp, quick campaign
While il is not at all likely that the demo-
cratic national committee viii consult Mr..
Croker this point, his observations are
sound and worthy of notice. He takes
ground the very opposite TO that taken by
George Fred Williams, who would be glad
to see mid-winter convention and a ten
months spouting match. Mr.. Croker's is
by far the better plan. A campaign Of three
months is sufficient for all purposes, and
neither party should think of cutting out
work for longer period.
Mr.. Croker expects the republicans to
go first" and he thinks 1t "a good thing
to let the other fellows show their hand"
His reference must be TO the platform, as
it seems quite as likely that the republi-
cans will nominate Mr.. Mckinley as that
the democrats will nominate Mr.. Bryan.
As TO platforms. there must be a pretty
plain showing of hands in that way by both
parties before the national conventions
meet. The coming session of Congress will
he called upon to deal with the currency,
trusts. government for the new possessions,
and taxation; and If there are any demo-
Gratis who imagine that their party has no
responsibilities in the premises, and can
content itself with simply criticising and
opposing the propositions of the other side
they imagine vain thing. The democracy
must come forward. if not with bills of its
own. with amendments and suggestions as
to the bills Of the majority which will clear
ly enough define its position on those sub
jeCts. and mark out its course in the cam
paign.
Mere criticism, mere haunting of an OPP
ponent, does not suffice to carry party
into power in this country. Every party
asking control Of the government must
have and should have a policy of it's own;
and by June of next year the country is
almost certain to know the attitude of both
parties on all the leading questions of the
day. The showing of hands will begin
when Congress meets. and 1t will continue
until Congress adjourns.

Mr.. Carnegie's Philanthropy.

From the. Chicago Tribune
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie in a recent inter-
view expressed his sentiments as to the
responsibilities of persons owning a large
sum of money. SO far he himself is con-
cerned he said that he should gradually
give away his fortune. bestOwng it in in
stallments where 1t would do the most
good-a most reasonable disposition, not
only because there are no pockets in
ShrOudS, but also because he can be sure
that the money is used as he wishes 1t to
be,
1t is probable no one but Mr. Carnegie
knows how much money he has, but the
rate at which he is giving it away indi-
Gates that his fortune is an immense one,
as he apparently contemplates continuing
his donations for several years to come.
This year he has given over s., 800, 900, and,
with the exception of about 100000 given
to educational institutions, 1t has all gone
for the building of libraries. The benefi-
Charles are Washington, D. c.. Pittsburg,
Pa; Atlanta, Ga; Erie, Pa; East Liver

and Pittsburg, Tex; Beaver Falls Pa
to Pittsburg, Pa, amounting to 81. 1900 600
The latest is to Washington, D. c., the
people Of which city heretofore have been
dependent upon the Congressional Library
His scheme for the erection of a public IL
brary in the capital city is peculiarly in
teresting. He has twice increased his origi-
nal donation of $25O0OO, bringing it UP to
$35OOo0 The Increases were made by him
owing to the recent advance In the price Of
building materials, which embarrassed the
commission and for a time endangered its
plan to put up building which should be
an ornament to the capital. The commits
sion, however, has had enough on hand for
the interior equipment, and with $1,000
for building fund will be able to put up
a library which will add to the attractions
OF Washington.
1t Is not remarkable that Mr.. Carnegie's
donations should take the direction of IL
braries He is fond of books and study, and
appreciates the value of libraries to the
people. He knows that they the best
means for enlightening and helping them
and that they are essential auxiliaries of
education The Libraries which he is ere
ating all the country will be perma-
uent tributes to his generosity, as well as
to his discernment of the intellectual needs
of the people. Mr.. Carnegie is founding
"a monument more enduring than bronze"
and is setting an example for other mil
uonaireS to study.

A Dreadful Responsibility.


From the Philadelphia inquirer.
From the actions of Mr. Atkinson and the
democratic leaders Aguinaldo has got the
idea that this country is going to rise in re-
bellion against the Presidents policy and
overthrow 1t at the polls. He will know
better after the election. Meanwhile, he
officially proclaims to his people that ''in
America there is a great party that insists
on the government recognizing Filipino in
dependence" Therefore. he adds, I'VE must
show our gratitude and maintain our posi-
ton more resolutely than ever
Just think of the respons biiity that the
men who have led Agulaaldo into this false
and hopeless belief must shoulder He Is

eve Are Going to Keep Them"

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
Admiral Dewey sends cold chill down
the backs of the American hackers of
Aguinaldo by remarking, even in the sa-
cred precincts of Boston. which is Profess
sor Atkinson's post office address and Mr..
Williams keepsake. that 1--WE going to
keep the Philippines" Observe that Ad-
miraI Dewey says not that we are going
merely to restore order to the Philippines,
but that we are going to restore civilization
to the Philppines-that Is, we are going TO
keep them, just as we keep Louisiana,
New Mexico Alaska and Hawaii. Thus,
the admiral sits down hard on the anti-im-
peralistic democracy as well the i'm
peralistic Aguinaldo. And incidentally such
democratic organs as have been trying to
get Dewey to run as a democratic ctfldl-
date for President also feel a cold chill
running down their spines.

A sad waste of pity you'll note day by day
Mongst people of wisdom bereft;
For creatures unthinking great care we
display
And the people who need it get left.
But by far the most twaddlesome note of
regret
Is this sentiment feeble and tame
Which again and again bids US sorrow and
fret
This tale of the moth and the fame.
Here's a toast to the flame that attracted
the bug
Who seeking for things to devour;
Who, fixed with a berth so secluded and
snug
In your wardrobe, would feast by the

Perhaps it is wicked to gloat
But this moth, just the same, who gets
caught by the flame
