PROTEST FROM OUR COLONIES.

A more emphatic protest against the
policy of the Republican administration
can scarcely be conceived than that re-
Gently made by the people of San Juan,
Porto Rice. The Philadelphia Ledger
remarks that two years ago the peo-
pie of the island welcomed the Amer
leans with open arms, and expressed
the desire to be forever free of Spain
and given the benefit of American
government. Now, when the great
Spanish feast day comes around, the
streets are ablaze with Spanish decor
atoms, the American flag is scarcely
seen and the populace shouts ''Yiya
EspanaP' This is the result of the
policy adopted toward Porto Rico last
winter by Congress, with the permits
sion of the President. It is not hope
full beginning for our colonial policy.
Nor is it beginning, as will be
noted. The policy has been in force
in Porto Rico and the Philippines for
two years, and both countries would
be glad to get back under the Spanish
flag.

THE PARTITION" OF CHINA.

The actual dividing up of China
among the powers, declares the New
York Press, could be accomplished only
at fabulous cost, Itwould be next to the
greatest dynastic and territorial change
in the history of the world, second only
to the changes that followed the discov-
cry of America, and the status of parti-
ton and ownership could be maintain
ed only by a use of men and money
that in few years would reduce the
richest of the beneficiary powers to the
condition of exhaustion and bankrupt
cy that Italy has reach through her
participation in the triple alliance,
The cheapest way, and in the long run
the only practicable way, is to let the
Chinese govern themselves.

A TASTE OF IMPERIALISM.

Here and there evidence is crop
ping out that the people are becoming
dissatisfied because Congress has fail
ed to repeal the war taxes. It is as
serted by the administration that we
are at peace with all the world, and yet
the war taxes are still being collected.
It may be said that we are having trou-
BILE in China, and that the cost of send
an army there is very great, The
trouble in China had not begun when
Congress adjourned. Hence the Re
publicans cannot say their refusal to
reduce the war taxes was due to ex-
penditures IN China.
While we are not at war with the
Filipinos we are doing a good deal of
fighting in the Philippines, and it costs
vast amount of money to maintain
the 10000 soldiers there. The indi
cations are that even more soldiers
than are there now will have to be kept
there for many years if the policy of
holding the islands as a permanent
possession prevails.
The money spent in holdining the
Philippines is giving the people taste
of Imperialism. To rule people with
out their consent large army is nee
essary, and large army means heavy
taxes. No argument that Mr.. Bryan
or any other orator will make during
the presidential campaign will have SO
much influence with the people as
these war taxes which they are now
paying. They cannot see that the
Philippines will ever be of much bene-
fit to this country.
But they know that they are costing
a great deal of money and many valuable
lives.
Some of the Republicans are claiming
that we have the Philippines now and
we cannot honorably get rid of them
that we are under obligations to the
whole civilized world to hold on to
them and provide them with an en-
lightened, liberal and stable govern
ment.
If that is the case the Republican
party ought to be turned out of power
for insisting upon having them. The
main reason why it insisted on having
them was that it thought 1t would gam
great glory by adding so much terri
tory to the republic, and that the pop
ularity thus acquired would be suficl-
ent to give it long lease of power.
1t did not foresee that the islands
would be costly possession-that an
army would be necessary to hold them
and that their commerce would not be
sufficient to offset in the smallest de-
gree the sacrifices the American people
would have to make to rule them.
The Republicans are saying that i'm
perialism will not cut much of a figure
in the campaign. 1t is beginning to
look as if the people would give very
little attention to anything else.-Sav-

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF BRYAN

Constantly before the American pub
lie for years, scanned with close
scrutiny, he has given the impression
of sincerity and humanity, The Amer
lean people, cursed with the sinister
spectacle of whole states under the
rule of corrupt and cynical "bosses, :"
of Plat, Quay, Addicks, of men rich
with the spoils of protected" syndi-
Gates and trust, have seen in Mr..
Bryan a handed man entirely re :
moved from all this dirty money-mak-
ing and wire-pulling. His life is sim
pie, his tastes are ideal, his character
is above reproach, his eloquence is
powerful, his industry is untir1ng.-

For 20 years DR.. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health, VigoT, usefulness and happiness than
any ten other doctors in the country combined
DR.. Hathaway treats and cures by method
entirely his own, discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him, Loss of
Vitality, Varicocele, Structure, Blood Poisoning
in its different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
and Skin Diseases, BrightS Disease and all forms
of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under"
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient strong, we'll vigorous man.
DR.. Hathawsy's success in the treatment OF
Varieocele and Structure without the aid OF knife
or cautery is phenomenal The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an oper-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton of sufferers from Varicocele and Structure to
pages u, %, 20, 80 and 81 of his new book.
Every case taken by DIR. Hathaway is specially
treated according to its nature, all under his gen
eral personal SUpervisona and all remedies used by
him are prepared from pureStand beStdrugS in
his own laboratories under his personal oversight.
DR.. Hathaway makes no charge for cOnsulta-
ton or advice either at his Office or by mall and
when a case is taken the one low fee covers all
cost of medicines and professional services.
DR.. Hathaway always prefers, when it is posi-
BILE, to have his patients call on him for at least
one interview, but this is not essential as he has
cured scores of thousands OF patients IN all sec
tons of the world whom he has never seen. His
System of Home Treatment is so perfected that
he can bring about a cure as surely and speedily
as though the patient called daily at his Office

AN INDICATION OF VICTORY

According to a test vote taken by
the New York Journal recently, Will
lam J. Bryan will sweep Greater New
York in November by at least SO, 1886
plurality. Out of the total vote taken,
4,358, only 80 who had no vote in 1896
will vote forMcKinley this year, where
as 295 indicate their intention, on sign
ed blanks, to vote for William Jennings
Bryan.
Two thousand, five hundred and
fifty-six votes were recorded for Bry-
an, 1902 for Mckinley, and 1S scartter-
ing. At this ratio, if the total vote
in Greater New York this year is as
large as in 1896, when it reached 519,-
296. the proportion of the two candi-
dates in November should be:
For Bryan. ................. 304, GIG
For Mckinley .............. 214, $50
The Journals advance poll of the
mayoralty contest two years ago
proved wonderfully accurate test of
the real vote.
It was forecast the fairness and
completeness of which were proven
fully by the official returns. This
straw vote was taken with the same
degree of conscientiousness, and the
figures may be accepted as prophetic of
the actual returns in November next.

How Lieut.. MeLaushlin, Recent

The death OF Lieut. Mclaughlin, Of

fever ct Santiago, recalls dramatic in
cideut, in which he was one Of the prin-

Lieut. Mclaughlin had charge Of a
squad which built telegraph line
along the route Of the American adj

with the advance Of the infantry and
artillery in comaud Of Cen. Brooke,
and when the latter faced a line of Span

was two miles lii the rear.
