would have totally to ignore the
"Monros Doctrine" For if We
do not do q. we wish to be done
by, we ought not to seek to ac>
quile territory in the Eastern
Hemisphere.
Mr.. Monroe was opposed to al
lowing n foreign power to acquire
any moro territory on this CONT
mont, and as q consequence, he
would not desire that our govern.
ment should acquire territory in
foreign land, Oh the Eastern
Continent.
Besides destroying our theory
of government, and ignoring our
past history and traditions, a
policy of conquest and expansion
will sorely involve us in a COM
plication with foreign powers, and
lead to interminabls wars. We
connot hold and govern the Phil,
Iipins Islands for any sonsidera>
bic time without getting into a
quarrel with somo other powerful
nations As an example, We will
take the British Empire, which
during Queen Nictoria's long
reign, has not been at peace with
all tho word, for 80 short u time,
as two years in succession. And
il we were to get into war with
a strong foreign power, we would
bs at great disadvantage in vag-
ing war 60 far from home. Now,
in our compnCtneSs, we ars indie
pendent Of all nations and defv
any power. BY closing oar ports,
We can protect ouselves from the
attack OF foreign foe, and damage
them in u commercial way. aS
New York is today the tin&nclal
center of the world, and not Lon
don as formerly. Let us then be
satisfied with the territory va
have and stay at homo, and cul.
tivste friendship with all nations.
This would be following the al,
vice Of tsst great and good man,
George Washington, and it is the
ONLY COURSE to insure our pros
perity and happiness as = FREE
GOVERNMENT.

NON EXPANSION POLICY.

RoanORs, NlrSlnla, Jan. rs, 1899.
| have been requested to write
and read piece against the policy
and propristy of extending our
government over tho Phlllipias
lslsnds--that is against expanding
our government, SO as to include
those Islands which arc in the
Pacific ocean on the Eastern
Continent, at least 1000 miles
from our Pacific coast, and double
that distance from our Atlantic
coast.
1t must he rsmsmb bsred that
these Islands are situated in

= climate too full Of malaria, and
not at all conducive to health, and

which things make tbs country

qusnce is, that they cannot now
he governed, except hvA KINGLY
or ARBITRARY government, they
must necessarily remain in THE
condition for many generations.
And they cannot.nou 10 governed
except IN the most ARBITRARY
manner, and at great expense.
Admiral Dewey did not go to
Manila for purpose of conquest at
all. Flo went thers with his gallant
little fleet to capture, if ho could,
tho Spanish feet. At the tune he
went thsre, and for many years
before, an insurrsotion was going
on, and the fact 10 the insurgents
are still fighting and they hold to-
day a large part OF the Islsnds.
And the Insurgents, under Axuin-
aldo, are vsry much sverss to be-
ing annexed to tho United States.
They are fighting for their own
independence and design 10 sstab-
lish = government OF their own.
So it is probable before we can
establish our government over
them, We will have to conquer
them. They do not appear to
consent that We shall govern them.
Then the question arises, is it
right or is it wise for us, 90 far
distant from them, with all the
obstacles and draw backs in tho
way, on account of climate, di-
vsrsity OF races, and their savage
and unpromisins condition, to At
tempt to conquer them and sE~
tend our government over thsm.
1t would certainly he contrary
to the very idea OF free govern
mont, like ours. The bed rock

/ governed. The Declaration Of
Independence, written by the I'm,
mortal Jefferson, rests on THIS
BED ROCK or foundat;on, and up~
on no other. Our government
WAS formed on the basis that tbs
people gave their consent to the
form OF government under which

Governor Bradley Denounced.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 3o.-The Sew
enth district Democratic convention, whicn
was expected to sound the keynote for the
Goebel Democracy, as well as to nominate
candidate to succeed Evan Settle, de-
ceased, convened at o'clock, but owing TO
a tie-up in the committee on resolutions IL
accomplished nothing this afternoon. The
hitch in the committee arose over the ques-
ton OF reaffirming the platform OF the
Louisville convention, at which Goebel was
nominated 1t Is understood that John K
Alien, leading candidate for the congress
sional nomination, while he supported Goe-
bel, is a dissenter from the platform as to
the Endorsement of the Goebel election law.
Speeches Of the leaders breathed denuncia-
ton against Governor Bradley for military
interference and also against Judge Toney,
of Louisville, for interfering with the Louis
Vile election by injunction.
Two members of the committee on resolu-
tions who objected to the reaffirming OF the
Louisville platform finally gave In, and the
platform reaffirming both the Chicago plat
form Of 1896 and the Louisville platform,
together with denunciation OF Governor
Bradley was adopted The resolutions say:
I'VE condemn in unqualified terms the IN
tereference with elections by military pow
er or federal authorities and further con-
denim the use of the injunction or mandamus
to control elections. We think such inter-
ference by any of the above agencies un-
constitutional and destructive of free gov
ernment- Such interference invalidates the
election wherever used. We believe that on
a fair ascertainment of the result of the late
election the entire Democratic ticket was
elected, and we have faith and confidence
in the fairness, integrity and fitness OF the
State Electoral Commission in arriving at
the true results of the election"
