a pEsPAIRING WAL.

'As sure as day follows darkness.
the apparent harmony Of Democratic
interests in Delaware, covers a secret
determination to win the State and
Legislature of Delaware this fall, and
then enact laws which will disfran-
chise the negro vote-similar to those
lof North Carolina and ouher Southern
States. This, they believe, would un-
der THE jerrymandered districts now
provided for electing members of the
legislature, insure success for the
Democratic party. Mr.. Salisbury is
familiar with DISTINGUISHING laws, and
realizes their advantages Ito him and
his party, and the Republicans should
have vivid memory of their results to
them. Every Republican should reg
lister and vote, and every colored man
owes it to himself to stand true to his
friends, and by so doing remain true
ITO his own privileges. Milford
Chronicle, yesterday.
Trotting out the bloody-shirt busi-
ness again, eh? If there is any intel
ligence or common sense scattered
around among the party membership
ITO which the Chronicle eaters, it is
assuredy insulted in the above
homily. There are we'll defined Con-
stitutional prerogatives guarding
every right enjoyed by the citizens of
Delaware, black as we'll as white,
which can only be changed by the
of two-thirds of all The mem
bers of two successive Legislatures.
While this effusion and others
being circulated by the Chronicle and
papers of its ilk are of course the
veriest bosh, it gives THE key to a
serious trouble now annoying the Re-
publicans. This is that the. colored
vote is deserting them. 1t is said that
agents are quietly ait work now in this
State enlisting negroes to aid the in
dependent negro movement inaugur-
ated some weeks ago by national
negro leaders. The Republican lead
ers of Delaware are aware of this
hence their desperation.

Ey-Congressman Charles A. Towne
who was nominated for THE Vice
Presidency by the Populist National
Convention last May, has written a
letter tio the Notification Committee
of that parity declining the nomina-
tion. In this letter which is a manly.
straightforward document, Mr.. Towne
announces THAT he shall give ito the
Democratic ticket named at Kansas
City, his unqualified support. Speak
ing of Adlai E. Stevenson, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the Vice-Presi-
dency, Mr.. Towne describes him as
a man of unimpeachable character,
ripe experience and sterling principles,
and one worthy the support of all
American citizens.

us. 1t was also plainly apparent that
Democracy was in the ascendant.

The Republican party has been re-
garding the G. A. r. veteran as ia sort
of fixture in it's political household.
On the 2Suh Of this month there is to
be held a mass convention of old
soldiers ali Chicago, organized and
planned by THE Old Soldiers and
Sailors Bryan Club of Denver, Col
orado. This indicates thar the pro-
posed convention will not be held un-
der Republican auspices, and further
indicates that there are veterans of
the Civil War who yet believe in
standing by THE Declaration of Inde-
pendence.

Mr.. Hanna is complaining Of the
apathy SO apparent in Republican
ranks. Mr.. Hanna attributes ehis
apathy to "over-confdence." He is
mistaken. 1t is neither apathy Nor
over-confdence which afflicts the old

of Americanism and love of country
asserting itself, and this finds nothing
in either the Republican policy, plat
form or candidates TO attract It.

Thus the very people who receive least
benefit from imperialism will be III
jured most by the military burdens
which accompany it. g 9 IT Is
not strange, therefore. that the labor
organizations have boen quick to note
the approach of these dangers and
prompt to protect against both militar-
ism and imperialism.
The pecuniary argument, though
more effective with certain classes. Is
not likely to be used 50 often or pre-
sented with so much emphasis as tie
religious argument. If what has been
termed the ''gunpowder gospel were
urged against the Filipinos only it
would be a sufficient answer to say
that majority of the Filipinos are
now members of one branch of the
Christian church, but the principle in
volved is one of much wider applica-
tion and challenges ser, 1us considera-
tion.
We cannot approve of this doctrine
in one place unless we are willing to
apply it everywhere. II there is poison
in the bloodof the hand twill ultimate
ly reach the heart. 1t is equally true
that forcible Christianity, ii planted
under the American hag in the far
away Orient, will sooner or later he
transplanted upon American soil.
Let it be known that our mis-
sionarics are seeking souls instead of
sovereignty; let it be known that in
stead of being the advance guard Of
conquering armies, they are going
forth to help and to uplift
and the welcome given to our mission
aries will be more cordial than the
welcome extended to the missionaries
of any other nation.
The argument, made by some. that
1t WIS unfortunate for the nation that
it had anything to do will he Philip
pine islands, but that the naval victory
at Manila made the permanent acqui-
Bltlon oil those islands Necessary. is also
unsound. We won naval victory at
Santiago. but that did not compel us
to hold Cuba The shedding of Ameri-
can blood in the Philippine islands does
not make it imperative that we should
retain possession forever.
There is an easy. honest honorable
solution of the Philippine question. 1t
is set forth in the Democratic platform
ana 1t is submitted with confidence to
the American people. This plan / UNI
reservedly indorse. If elected, l shall
convene congress in extraordinary ses-
sion as soon rs | am inaugurated. and
recommend an immediate declaration
of the nations purpose--first to estab-
lish Il stable form of government in the
Philippine islands. Just as we are now
establishing a stable form of govern
ment in the island of Cuba; second to
give Independence to the Filipinos,
just as we have promised to give inde-
pendence to the Cubans; third. to pro-
tect tie Filipinos from outside inter-
ference Willie they work out their des-
tiny. Just as we have protected the re-
puhlics of Central ana South America,
and are, by the Monroe doctrine,
pledged TO protect Cuba.
