INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

The paramount issue this year is TO hold
the fort.-Anderson Herald.
Every day 1T is becoming palmer that
the paramount issue is Organism, and that
is the synonym for free silver and mis-
chievous observation-disclosures Courier
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Bryan
promises that If elected he will not ask for
reelection, but he makes no promise that
if defeated he will not Immediately enter
upon a campaign for renOmnation.-Terre
Haute Tribune.
Nothing is more earnestly condemned
by Mr.. Bryan than the national banking
system but it was as earnestly urged upon
the favor of Congress by Abraham Lincoln,
in the form in which 1T now exists.-Terre
Haute Express.
The Bryanites in this county have a

Lands and to defeat him. The Bryanites
have plenty of money and they are spend
ing it.-Tipton Advocate.
The anti-imperialists of Jefferson's day
were responsible for the attempt of Aaron
Burr to establish an empire in the South
west. He counted on the discomfort of
the people whom jefferson governed with
out their consent.-Fort Wayne News.
Mr.. Bryan goes upon the assumption that
labor and capital must necessarily be at
war. He would not bring about peace.
War between the interdependents is as
necessary TO him the three square
meals day he refuses TO earn legitimately.
Marion Chronicle.
DIT. FIavius Van Vorhis, the free silver
adjunct to the Democratic machine with
the Democratic national committee at
Chicago, says that Indiana is safe for
Bryan but he fears that the Republicans
will buy up the Democratic election Of
ficers. That is fine compliment to the
Democratic election officers. indeed and
the Democrats of the State doubtless will
appreciate 1t very highly.-Columbus Re-

promptly from some one in the audience:

ARGUMENTS OF DESTINY.
All Great Nations Have Been CoIoni-
GERS Administrators.

The mercantile argument is mighty with
Americans in merely mercantile times, and
II should be so: bat the argument of des-
tiny is the master argument in the hour
OF destiny, and il should be So The
American people never yet entered on a
great movement for merely mercantile rea-
sons. Sentiment and duty have started
and controlled every noble current of
American history. And at this historic
hour. destiny is the controlling consider
alton in the prophetic craftsmanship which
conditions require of the American peo-
pie.
II is destiny that the world shall be res
cued from it's natural wilderness and from
savage men. Civilization is no less an
evolution than the changing forms OF ami
nal and vegetable life. Surely and stead
lily the reign of law. which is the very
spirit of liberty. takes the place of arbi-
trary caprice. Surely and steadily the
methods of social order are bringing the
whole earth under their subsection. And to
deny that this is right, is to deny that
civilization should increase. In this great
work the American people must have their
part They are fitted for their work
no people have ever been fitted; and their
work lies before them.
Does any man doubt that shall not
give as beneficial an administration in
the Philippines as England in Egypt? Does
any man assert that the Philippines do
not need, for their own good and for the
good OF the world, such an administration
as much as the Egyptians, for their own
good and for the good of the world. need
the administration Of England? Does any
man deny that the American Republic has
established "A better government In Hawaii
and Porto Rico than Holland in Java2
And will anybody assert that Java and
the world Is not better for the sovereignty
OF the Netherland flag?
III the opposition say that they grant this,
but that the higher considerations OF alb
ippines shall have such government
they wish. regardless of the rest of the
world, i answer that such an argument
would have excluded the Pilgrims from
Plymouth Rock and the Cavaliers from
jamestown. Such proposition would have
established forever the savage sovereignty

New Zealand and Australia.

Germany's second proposition relative to
outrages in China Is open to the same OBJ
lection as her first one. First she proposed
that a joint demand should be made on
China for the surrender of the persons to
the powers as a condition precedent to any
negotiations for peace. Now she proposes
the formation of an international court to
try the Chinese officials accused of com
plicity in the outrages. The fundamental
objection to both proposals is that they
ignore the Chinese government entirely by
demanding that it surrender it's own Of
ficials or subjects to be tried and. If con-

tribe of savages could not be treated more
contemptuously. Incompetent and treach-

The New York Evening Post. the news
paper OF the ultra Independents. at one
time half disposed to support Bryan
because OF its anti-imperiaIism, declares
in recent article that the attempt to
make the issue between an empire and a
republic has failed in the West and Mr.
Bryan has gone back TO the issues of 1896,
which has given the Republicans conf
dence in the East that they will not lose
the German vote. Then, the thousands OF
Independents are disguised because Mr..
Bryan has accepted Croker as leader in
