1T IS A DEAD ONE.
The Anti-Expansion Lunacy VIII
Not Last Until Next
Year.

A promising democratic issue has
been destroyed by the collapse of the
rebellion IA the Philippines. There will
he no anti-expansion talk in the cam
paign of 1900. There will be none in the
canvass of 1899. Bryan began talking
on the anti-expansion line early. lie
started it before the peace treaty was
ratified. lie urged his friends to re-
frain from obstructing the treaty. He
aid this because he knew that obstruc-
ton would not defeat the treaty, while
II would be death to the Instructors.
Expansion could be fought afterward.
he said. and would he wining issue for
his side.
Bryan was mistaken. The country
has already expanded. The only men
who could have fought expansion to any
purpose or with any effect have ac-
cepted it. The sensible anti-expanders.
II there could be said to be any sense ut
all on their side, were the Filipinos, and
they have virtually acquiesced to it.
Aguinado and Luna, as anti-expanders,
were entitled to a show of respect. They
are not Americans. They committed
the blundcr of taking Bryan. Hoar and
their fellows to be true opponents OF
American ideas and intentions. Bryan
and IIoar declared that the United
States wanted to cnslave the Filipinos,
and hence they fought against the
Americans. They have discovered, or
will very soon discover, that these per-
sons do not represent American senti-
ment, and, they are beginning to sus-
pcct, do not know American purposes.
Hence the Filipinos are willing to trust
themselves to the American sense of
justice and propriety.
Thus anti-eXpansion as an issue is
dead. Expansion is here, and it will
stay. Americans are not in the habit OF.
fighting facts. Even its opponents will
say that nothing can be accomplished
by trying to put Aguinaldo in possess
sion of Manila. The clock of time will
not be turned backward at the bidding
of Bryan or any other reactionary.
American sovereignty over the Philip
pines, which was guaranteed by the
peace treaty, has been agreed to by the
I'ilipinos, or will be agreed to in II day
or two. The Filipinos will have all the
home rule which they can stand with
safety to the interets OF the United
States and of the Filpinos themselves.
This self-government will from time tn
time be extended as the Filipinos be-
rome fitted TO use it. All this can be
promised with the utmost confidence.
Long before the democratic convention
of 1900 meets Ag,iinaldo and his men
will be so thoroughly satisfied with the
American connection that they would
fight against anybody who would want
to end it. In every direction fate is hit
ting the doomed Bryanite.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

The PEE-WEES.

All day they twittered. all day they sang,
AS out and in they flew.
With fallen leaf or a bit of moss,
And straw and twig or two,
They deity fashioned their cozy nest,
Shaping II bit by bit.
And as they worked they twittered and
sang:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit!"
They built just under rocky ledge.
Secure from rain or dew;
Where a summer brook went babbling by,
AS summer brooks will do.
They gathered the velvety woodland moss,
And lined their nests with IL,
And still they twittered and gaily sang:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit"'
AT last the cozy nest was done,
And filed with a little brood
And the old birds worked from morn till
night,
To bring the young ones food,
But at last the nest had grown too small.
Or the birds too large for It:
For away they fluttered and gayly sang:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee-wit"'
But every year the pee-wees come,
And line their nest anew;
And freshen II up with a bit of moss,
And twig and straw or two,
And every year they raise their brood.
And watch the young birds fit,
And still they twitter and gayly sing:
"Pee-wee! pee-wee-pee- witt
