ent professions of horror at the action
of the United States and of sympathy
with Aguinaldo and his followers.
On September 10, 1893. Mr.. Patter-
son made the following editorial com.
ment upon Aguinaldo, whom he now
looks upon as peer of George Wash
ington:
"Aguinaldo, the man with the whis-
tie, should be permitted to finish his
case in the guard house. Primitive
races understand force. They know
little about diplomacy, and care even
less"
Only four days later, urging the
prompt dispatch of re-enforcements to
Admiral Dewey, he said in the same
columns of the News:
1.-The country will jump to the con-
clusiOn that Admiral Dewey would
not have applied for re-enforcenents
if he were not In need of them. He
asks for battleship and cruiser.
They should be sent at once. Indeed,
they should have been sent weeks ago.
These columns bear witness to the
fact that the News has repeatedly
urged the sending of more ships and
troops to the Philippines.
1.-THE diplomatic situation should not
prevent or delay this action. The in
terests of both Spain and the United
States require this action. Aguinaldo
is an exceedingly able man, and is ap-
parently determined to make trouble.

Lincoln, Neb., July Nv. j..
Bryan's attention was called to>day
to the fact that some anti-lmperial-
lists had announced that they would
be opposed to him on account OF the
silver plank in the platform, and he
was asked as to whether this fact
would seriously affect the anti-Im-
perialist vote. He said:
Several Gold Standard opponents
of imperialism have already announ-
ced their intention TO support the
Democratic ticket, although the anti
Imperialistic League has not acted
officially.

The latest dispatches indicate a

no man can speak with any degree
of accuracy as to the final outcome
The nations of the earth need, as
they have never needed before, the
wisest diplomacy. Great Britain
owes much of her greatness and pow
er to day to her diplomats. Sir Julian
Pauncefort, England's representative
at Washington, has been in this
country for some years, and many re-
spects stands at the head of the dip
lomats of o-day. In diplomacy, this
country cuts q sorry figure. The
ministers and ambassadors sent out
by this Administration were selected
more for their political influence than
for their diplomatic skill. We be-
lieve If any man will cast aside preJu-
dice, and look calmly and soberly, he
will be forced to say our present
Executive is the weakest since the
DAYS OF Hayes. And yet, the party
that placed Mr.. Mckinley in the
Presidential chair in 1896, comes
again in 1900 and asks that he be re-
turned to oflice-a sad commentary
upon the wisdom of the republican
party. Mr.. Mckinley is in no sense
the man to fill the Presidential chair
at this time, nor was he III 1896, as
has been proven by his foreign policy.
Under the present condition Of afiairs,
this country needs man as Presi~
dent. China can put in the field an
army of so, 900, 900, and have a sufi-
Gent force at home to take care OF
home interests and raise food for her
army. 1t will not do to go to war
with China. No one nation is going
TO undertake it. II there is war with
China, England, Russia, France, Cor
many, Japan and the United States
will unite in the fight. China will
speedily go down. Then, unless We
have the wisest and best diplomats,
the nations that conquered China
will be at war among themselves
fighting for division OF the spoil. "
\ child can see what Mr.. McKinley's
attitude would be in such an event.
If Mark Hanna and few others
like him were to request it, Mr.. Nc
Kinley would declare war against the
whole world without an hours no.
