The Coming Of the End.

The city Of Chicago is making great
preparations for the reunion of the
Grand Army of the Republic in Au-
gust When Chicago says u wlll,' she
does It. 1t will cost the city, accord
ing to the estimate, fully one hundred
thousand dollars to entertain the boys
in blue. The old soldiers will meet
and enjoy themselves, but there is an
increasing air of sadness surrounding
each successive gathering of the vet
Grams who fought for the preservation
of the union from 1861 to 1865. At ev-
cry reassembling OF the old brigades,
regiments. companies and mess squads
there are great gaps in the ranks, va
cant places around The camp fire. emp
ty chairs at the table. Each recurring
year the old comrades who fought
shoulder to shoulder have to close up
their serried ranks and shed silent
tears over those who have fallen be-
fore the invisible shafts of the fell de-
stroyer.
These reunions OF the heroes of the
rebellion are approaching their end.
1t is more than a third of century
since the last battle was fought and
the reverberation of the last cannon
died away amid the hills of the South
land. Those who survived the storms
of leaden hail and and the hell of bat
tie one by one have laid down their
arms in the presence of an enemy be-
fore whose silent advance all the great
armies of earth have been swept away.
Commenting on this phase of the COM
ing reunion the Chicago Record aptly
says:
This will probably be the last time
Chicago will have the honor of enter
tanning the men who fought to pre-
serve the union. 1t is thirty-five years
since the last shot of the greatest war
in history was fired and the soldiers of
that conflict are growing old and gray
and feeble. Not many more times
will they be able to assemble to greet
their comrades in arms and show the
public what were tie men who COM
posed the greatest military force that
ever marched under the American or
any other flag. Their ranks are
dwindling fast and before many years
have passed the last of the soldiers
who saved the republic and freed the
slaves will have answered the final
roll call. They Will assemble in de-
creasing numbers for few years more
but Chicago is net likely to look upon
them again as an organization.
There is something infinitely touch
ing in the gathering together each
year CT these heroes. 1t will be
gracious act on the part of the great
western city by the lake to receive
them cordially and treat them tender
ly while they are her guests.-Colum-

Kentucky Customs.

ITO understand the Kentucky noun
taineers one must live among them"
said Mr. ]. H. Henry, of Newport, at
the st. James. They are not a law
less set. They are honest in their
opinions. They are isolated from civ
ilization. They believe that what their
fathers had before them is theirs by
right. This is true OF their land. Many
of them have not the slightest title to
property, yet they have occupied this
land all their lives. They say it was
occupied before them by their fathers.
That is sufficient. The same is true
OF the illegal manufacture OF whiskey.
They argue that as they raise the corn,
they should have the right to manu-
facture moonshine without being tax
ed. They think this Is common justice.
Any argument to the contrary at once
brings the stranger under suspiclon.--

possible purpose could be served except
to divert trade from American ports of
the Pacific to those of Canada. As long
as Nome is o a port OF entry, My

been waived or evaded in particular in

Canadian shipping interests want
Nome made a SUPPORT in order that they

Victoria, diverting traffic from the
American side. Business originating in

strictly belonging to the coasting trade
as that between New York n Boston
would be lone by foreign carriers. There

| The problem is one that Mr.. Bryan does
not try 10 solve
In the matter of expansion his per-
| Torrance surpasses the widest dream
of friend or enemy. He advocates for
| the Philippines independence and pro
lection by the United States against
outside interference, 'as II has for near
ly a century given protection to the re-
| publics of Central and South America"
No brain but Mr.. Bryan's could have
achieved this fantasy. He has yielded
far enough TO public opinion to know
thai we could not tolerate foreign con-
trol Of the Philippines. He would have
us responsible for all the acts that such
a people. absolutely incapable of self
government, would commit If they had
a nice new toy called independence" 10
play with. He would saddle upon us
all the cos Of maintaining order there,
and embroll us constantly with other
nations without power 10 prevent the
recurrence OF trouble. And the threat
that he would use Is the Monroe doc
trine.
The Monroe doctrine. by which we
have preserved the integrity Of weak
American states. is founded upon our
interest in preventing other nations
from obtaining a footing on this contl-
nent. IT is t~wo-edged; requiring us TO
abstain from a similar assertion OF au-
thority elsewhere az q condition OF ex-
ereislng it here. To attempt to apply it
20 the Philippines would be to o
that it applies to the whole globe. As
well declare that we should, II we chose.
enforce II in Malta or CeyIon, Madagas-
car or Japan. 1t would not encourage,
It would compel a league OF Europe
against us to beat down his ResafounI
pretension. We can protect the Philip
pines as United States territory, acuuir-
ed under the two-fold title Of conquest
from Spain and purchase. We could not
guarantee the security OF an indepen-
dent Filipino republic. We could not
hint at Mr.. Bryan's reason for doing so
without compelling the other nations to
destroy the Monroe doctrine. root and
branch. or to accept 1t as applying to
Europe and Asia and Africa as force
fully as to the American continent.
Such are the main articles of this
most amazing platform. It out-Bryans
Bryan. 1t Is very midsummer madness.
and 1t must fill every real Democrat
with wrath and shame. We see no way
by which the party that has surrendered
itself to this political mailman can es-
cape its doom. If the Republican cant
palgn committee had been commissioned
to write a platform for the opposition
that would make victory sure and over
whelming, il could not have done as we'll
as this. No Gold Democrat can stand
on 1t. No Democrat who believes In ex-
pansion can stand on It. Nc man who
respects facts or has read history can
stand on Il. It Is the final surrendered
intelligence. II Is too wordy for an
epitaph. so perhaps II should be called
the elegy OF Mr.. Bryan and OF n party
that he has now led 10 depths OF imbe-
ciIity below which there are surely meme
