GUNS FROM TEDDY.

Teddy Roosevelt seems TO have
considerable trouble in adhcring to his
fixed purposes. Under no circum-
stances was no going to accept the
Republican nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent. The result is history. When
he was preparing to go to the Rough
Riders reunion in Oklahoma he indig-
nantly resented the imputation that
there was any politics in the project.
Nevertheless it appears from the dis
patches that in a spectacular sweep
across the country he managed to
make seven speeches in one day and
discussed politics in every one of them.
AS it was the first charge of the con-
quering hero 1t cannot be uninterest-
ing to note how he bore himself Here
are few gems culled from the seven:
I'VE will win this year. and we are
going to do 1t right off the handle.

There is just one body that I put
ahead of that regiment 0he TWEEN

Army of the Republic"
II can hardly help talking politics.
because every principle OF national

II am good American. and so can't

II want to see how they meet these

Kansas City. But it makes no diff
ference how they stand. We will
stand fair and square on all these
questions"
1T we ever have another war maybe
] Will have some Filipinos In my regi-
ment."
All of these speeches were made in
Kansas. and In each of them there was
reference to the Twentieth Kansas. In
each of them, also. martial glory was
set forth as the chief end of mans
existence. From Teddy's remarks Il
is apparent that nobody can be n good
American who entertains views that
differ from his; that he Is going TO the
rescue of every principle OF national
honor and civic righteousness" in
which work he will be ably assisted bv
Hon. Mark Hanna and Hon. Tom
Plat. both pre-eminent examples of
civic Righteousness and, most sur
prislng of all. that the Republican
party stands "fair and square on
the questions of trusts and imperial-
ism.
Teddy Is distinctly and incomparabl,.

THE NATIONS FORESTS.

The American Forestry Association.

thrown much light upon the causes
operating to rapidly reduce American
forests. particularly in the West. az
well as on the efforts being made TO
Eornteract them.

The loss Of life and property by the
burning of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company's docks and ships
is the most appalling marine disaster
since the loss OF the La Bourgogne. in
which about GOO people persisted. 1t Is
difficult to understand how the flames
could spread so quickly as to destroy
ships at the wharvcs before they could
be moved out of danger. The frghtful

war must be declared and troops sent

is for Congress to do it. AS late as
Friday of last week. more than week
after the first troops were ordered to
China. Secretary Hay said in an inter
view that he had no information that
any American citizen had been injured
in China. Secretary Long said:
Except for the supposed losses by
the expedition of marines we know Of
no American citizens who have been
placed I'm jeopardy of life or liberty or
property. We have been simply NOV
ing along for the general welfare to
the best of our judgment"
Acting Secretary of War Meikeljohn
said: I'VE have no official informa-
ton concerning the loss OF life. liberty
or property OF any American citizen in
China" Moving along for the gem
eral welfare" leaves something to be
desired when offered in justification of
disregard of the Constitution.

ANOTHER MUSIC WAR.
Chicago Record.)

1t is of interest to note that some
eastern critical writer's who hitherto
have taken leading part in furthering
the cause of good music in this coun-
try have been pleased to say a good
word for the much-maligned rag
time" tune. The rag time" craze pre-
sumably has been dying out, but 1T
expires very slowly. and possibly 1t
will never disappear wholly. The
knowing musicians who have assailed
it as "A pernicious influence destructive
to taste are now met by equally learn
cd critics. who affirm that "rag-timc :
at least. is Indigenous and natural:
that it springs from deep sources. and
that. together with the native negro
melodies. it is properly to be used by
the composer, as Dvoral1 has already
used tin the production of distinc-
lively national music.

a HUMILIATING ALLIANCE.
PHILADELPHIA Times.l

American soldiers and sailors have
braved danger in many lands under
their own officers and for their coun-
try's honor. This is the first time
they have ever been employed in the
service of foreign nations and under
foreign command. 1t ought to be the
last time.
This is one OF the natural results of
international alliances and cordial
understandings" We have to stand by
our allies and take our orders from
them. But this is a thing that Ameri-
cans have never done and arc not will
ing to do now.
The very thought OF American sail
ors and marines starting in upon an
underlined mission of war under COM
mand of a British admiral excites not
merely uneasiness but indignant
shame. And the sacrifice of these
brave mems lives will not be lightly
weighed by the American people.

The Republican platform. viewed in
the light of a vindication of Republ-
can politics in the past or n declaration
of the policy to be pursued by the
party in the future. seems to have
fallen like n wet blanket upon some of
the most ardent supporters OF McKin-

hesitate to express its wonder as to
who wrote the platform, or who re-
vised IL. do not conceal their disap-
pointment, not to say disgust. As an
attempted vindication ii is found impo-
tent and lame; as a definition of the
party purposes in the future 1t is
vague and evasive. and upon some
subjects non-committal. AS we have
already pointed out, all the astuteness
of the trainers of the platform seems
to have been expended in the single
direction OF endeavoring to bait trap

foolish Democrats who are soon to as

gauntlet and accept a renewal of the
fight upon the old lines of 1896.

The stories of the suffering and ne
elect endured by the sick and wounded
British soldiers I'm South Africa are
shocking past belief. and will move
the sympathies of the civilized world.
For these men there was no question
of the right or wrong of the war. One

them left to die of fever and starve
by thousands in pestilence- ridden
camps. without medical attention or
even water. The secret of how it was
possible to maintain so large an army

base of supplies Is made plain: the sick
and wounded We're left to shift for
themselves in large measure, while
every energy was devoted to feeding
those who were fit for service in the

THE REACTION AGAINST
IMPERIALISM.

1t Is truly characteristic of anti-im-
perialism, by which appellation the
supporters Of the movement so desig-
mated meant to discredit all Americans
who uphold the attitude of the admin
istration toward the problems which
have grown out of our war with SPAIN
that it should have reacted upon its
advocates and become suggestive of
disloyalty. of ridiculous pretcnsions,
and OF everything else contrary to
vigorous Americanism. Baltimore
Herald.
The Herald is mistakcn-it means
vigorous Caesarism. Americanism is
vastly different thing. Nobody. not
even n Republican newspaper, is OK
cusablc for MISLEADING the one for the
other. The Herald makes another mis-
take: 1t says anti-imperalism sug-
gests "dlsloyalty." when 1t really
meant "lesc majestic" These, also. are
very different things; indeed essential
ly antagonistic. The disloyal citizen
is he who would see his country
launched into career of conquest by
designing and ambitious politicians.
the administration, and prates might
ly of duty and obligations and other
things as to which he knows little and
cares less. He is disloyal, but never
guilty OF lese majestic.
What the Herald means by saying
anti-imperialIsm has reacted on its
advocates we do not pretend to know.
One thing is plain-thc sentiment
against Imperialism is stronger to-day
than ut any previous time. Even the
Republican party dared not endorse
Imperialism. Its most dangerous tenet
that Congress and the Executive can
govern territory outside OF the Consti-
tution-was not merely passed over in
silence. but was struck out of the plat
form after 1T had been inserted. Tn
fortunately. 1t cannot be struck out OF
the Republican record. When a party
refuses to stand by It's own record, the
usual superstition is that it has suf-
fered reaction. That is the case of
the party OF Imperialism.

INDISCREET CROMWELL.
philadelphia Record

Senator Foraker and other imperi-
alists protest that this Government
wants no share of Chinese territory.
IF the election should go in their favor
they would then be apt to sing an
other tune. In fact. Representative
Cromwell, of Ohio. who is close to the
Mckinley administration. has been so
indiscreet as to say that a slice of
China would be good thing. for %is
Government. But as Il rule the impc-
realistic earth hungerers, for pruden-
tfal reasons, are making efforts to sup
press their manifestations of greed.

that "if the missionaries had confined
themselves to missions. and diplomacy

arisen. Foreign intervention has now

interference calculated to provoke Il

construed as an effort to exclude all
citizens from the enjoyment of that
right who were not entitled to vote in
that year These positions of the SEN
ator are utterly without foundation.
In the first place section five does not
confer the right Of suffrage upon those
whose ancestors were entitled to vote
in the year 1867 without qualification.
but they are still left subject to all the
qualifications of the preceding sections,
except the educational qualification.
And MS other statement that this pro-
vision can only be construed as an eff
fort to exclude all citizens from the
enjoyment of the right to vote who
were not entitled to vote in that yea
is further from the truth than the
Again the senator ~contradictS him
self emphatically when he admits in his
Statesville speech that there are about
50, 1000 negroes in North Carolina who
a read and write and who would be
entitled to vote in the event the propos-
ed is adopted provided
they can pay their poll tax on or before
the 1st day Of March.
The truth is the speech of the sena-
tor is an admission that if the proposed
amendment is construed according to
the we'll settled rules which / have al
ready stated there is nothing in it hat
conflicts with the XIV or any other
amendment or provision of the consti-
tuition. His policy is to have the courts
construe it according to historical facts,
as he contends the facts to be, and not
according to the uniform and immem-
orial rules of construction. There can
be no doubt hat if the senator and
those who agree with him a prevail
upon the courts to hold an inquest over
this proposed amendment and call wit
nesses and prove facts, n decide ac-
cording to the facts they shall be able
to prove, and without regard to the
plain meaning of the language of the
amendment itself, the amendment will
be declared to be unconstitutional. But
the courts Will never do any thing of
the kind.
Look at the question from n
standpoint you may, the conclusion is
inevitable that the negro'S right to vote
is not denied or abridged on account of
his race, ETC., but only because of the
disqualifications in the several sections
of the proposed amendment"

Hon. William j. Bryan's argument

that there is money in it; hat God is
in it, and that we are in it and can't get

points 1t is urged by those who favor
