Even the democrats in North
Dakota see the signs of the times,
as the following from a Seattle
paper will show:
Among the guests at the
Butler hotel is Tracy R. Bangs,
Grand Forks, N. D., who with
Capt. Alexander Griggs and w.
d. Prindle is visiting in the city.
Mr.. Bangs is a democrat, having
been appointed United States
district attorney for his state by
President Cleveland. Yet Mr..
Bangs believes that North Da.
kota will be carried for Mckinley
in 1900 and that he will be re.
elected president.
"While 1 am opposed to Nc
Kinley's- position on the expan'
sion question, - said Mr.. Bangs
yesterday. ''yet I BELIEF that he
will be reelected. Bryan will
probably be the democratic nom.
inee. He will be controlled by q
radical element of the party,
which will insist upon declaring
for the free and unlimited coin.
age of silver. I am opposed tt
that policy myself and believe
that there are many democrats
in the country who will not in

Silver is a dead issue.

General David B. Henderson,
who will, without doubt, be the
next speaker of the house, to
succeed Mr.. Reed, has no fears
about the success of the Repub-
lican party in 1900 and the con-
tinuance of our present national
policy. He is quoted as saying
in reply to the question whether
in his opinion Bryan would be
the democratic candidate for the
presidency next year: He may
be. but if he is, he will get a
much smaller vote than he did
three years ago. The Grange
states, which in 1896 voted for
Bryan, entered the Republican
column in 1893. They will be
found there in 1900" Evidently
the general is of the opinion that
the people of the country know a
good thing when they see it and
are not going to risk the sub
stantial benefits which they have
received through the restoration
of protection for any fancy
promises on the part of Mr..
Bryan or any one else. The
electi0a of Bryan would mean a
change from present conditions,
and no change could
mean greater prosperity THAI
that which we now enjoy. In
1896 the constant cry of the Bry.
antics was: "Any change must
be for the better; nothing could
be worse than present condi.
tions." They were not far
wrong, for the conditions then
existing, as the result of Free
Trade Tariff tinkering, were such
as to bring the coun,ry almost to
the verge of revolution. But to-
day it is different. Conditions
are such that any change from
the restored policy of protection
to American labor. and industries
would inevitably be a change for
the worse.

year will average high. They
are very much pleased with

the P lilippine commission, who
recently returned from the
Philippines, thus summarizes the
situation there:
1.-The rebellion is not Philip.
pine rebellion; it is Tagalog re
bellion. The rebellion does not
even embrace all of the island of
Luzon.
''The- Filipinos are desirable
set of people.
'The Filipinos will, when peace
is restored, yield to the elevating
and softening influences of edu-
cation.
''Not more than 1,500,0 600 of the
5000. 600 people of the Philippine
Islands are in revolt.
''The people of the big Negros
Island are friendly.
.All of the other people of the
entire Philippine group of 500
islands, with the exception of the
Tagalogs-who comprise one-half
of the natives of Luzon-are
neutral. The natives Of the
other islands. who are f0minally
in revolt, are, in fact, only ter
rorized and coerced by the Taga-
logs.
1.-Two generations of education
in the Philippines will bring the
people of these islands to the
state Of advancement that will
equal IN most essentials that of
the Japanese.
''The Sulu group, comprising
the southern third of the Philip
pine archipelago, is at peace, and
will remain so. The Sultan of
Sulu has accepted the situation,
only asking q favor at the hands
of the United States.
1.-The difficulties in the Philip
pines are, therefore, not difficult
to overcome. The retention of
these islands is a thing to be de-
sired by the people of the United
States.
AS to the outlook for trade in
the Philippines, this may be tax
en- as the result of Prof. Schur-
mans Investigations: 'The peo-
pie of the Philippines will be con.
sumers of American products,
not only in this decade. but in
the generations to come. They
constitute the only people, practi-
cally, in the orient who will be
large buyers of either Europe or
America, eventually. The op-
portunity for investment in
these islands is good.
''Mindanao, which is as large
as Luzon, is an unclaimed para
disc for investors and specula-
tors. The climate of Mindanao
and the southern islands of the
great group is cool and pleasant.
3.For reasons of commerce and
because of the opportunities for
investment, the Philippine Is
lands should remain as they are
"a part of the United States. O
''As to the prospects of trade
IN China-the Chinese are quick
to imitate:s and they may, by rea-
son of foreign invasion, become
the manufacturers of the world.
England does three-fourths of
the foreign trade with China.
The United Statess sellsone-e eighth
of the goods that China imports.
The other eighth is sold by
Germany, France, Russia. Spain,
Italy, and the other countries of
Europe.
1.-The United States should not
remain passive if the doors of
trade should be closed in China
by any European power. The
United States should hold the
same view of the Chinese trade
facilities as England holds
