cause the Republican VIGOROUSLY in
vites 1t. Mere opposition to Republican
policies will not. however. suffice; the
Democracy at this juncture must have
a policy that will be both positive and
clear. 1t must be one that win COM
mend Itself ito the understanding of the
average citizen on its own merits. and
not because it differs from the Republi-
can policy
Mainly on the issue Of Imperialism,
the battle will be won or lost. There
Will be other issues-issues that in
themselves are of sufficient Importance
TO turn the scale ordinarily-but they
VIII be oversladowed ia this campaign.
1t is to the framing of its declaration as
to Imperialism that the Kansas City
convention should summon it's wisest
heads. No utterance that is indefinite.
no utterance that is merely negative,
Will stand the wear and tear of the
campaign. The plank on Imperialism
must body forth n policy which will be
capable Of practical execution in the
premises; 1t must also be clear that it
will involve no loss OF national prestige,
but will insure the performance of the
duties and the fulfillment of the obli-
cations that have come to us, as a re-
suit of the war with Spain. in accord
dncc icith the best instincts of the American
people.
If this be done, 1t will go far to win
in the campaign which is to follow. The
danger is that in veerins away from
Imperialism. the Democrats may go too
n oil n, Il
done. the Republicans will put them on
the defensive. Mr.. McKinley's: "Who
will pull down the flag?" will be heard
on every stump before the November
election. The committee on platform
should keep in mind the gentlemen of
the Democratic persuasion who will
have to answer that question through
out the country. 1t is not a profound
question, 1t is Il most demagoglc ques
ton, but one withal that there must be
no mistake in answering.
The American puts the nag on his
sugar-cured hams. and his canned beef.
but he is sensitive as to its honor none
the less: and he is prone to hold on to
what he once gets hold Of Notwith-
standing he is chivalrous and loves lib
crty and fair play. and to those better
sentiments the Democracy must appeal.
Let him clearly understand that the
flag has been divorced from the Consti-
tuition and made the symbol of Tyranny
and of knavcry, and he will repudiote
and rebuke the party that has so dis
gracad 1t. He would have 1t mean. ev-
erywhere. and always. what 1t has
meant in this country from the begin
ning-the symbol OF Constitutional
rights and personal liberty of the citi-
zens of this Republic. Under the Nc
Kinley policy of Imperialism this is i'm
possible. either at home OF in the col
onies. Therein lies Democracy's oppor-
tunity.

THE PLATFORM MUST BE
Posi- TIVE.

1t Is now but matter OF two weeks
until the Democratic National Conven-
ton Will meet at Kansas city. For it
there Will be either the advantage or
disadvantage that the Republican plat
form will already have been promul-
gated. 1t will be chiefly an advantage
Or a disadvantage according to tho use
made of TT.
The Democrats cannot carry the
country on n purely reactionary plat
form. That has never been done; 1t
wnl not be done while the United States
is q progressive nation. No more can
the Democrats hope to win on a plat
form of mere denunciation and fault
finding. The temptation to this sort of
platform viii be particularly strong be-

GENERALIZATION OF POWER.
Thomas Jefferson. In q letter writ
ten in 1900, said:

Thomas Jefferson, In q letter writ
ten in 1900. said:
az do verify believe, that II the prin-
ciple were to prevail. of common
law being in force in the United States
(Which principle possesses the General
Government at once of all the powers
of the State governments. and reduces
us to a single consolidated govern
menO, it would become the most cor
ruDt government on EARTH"
That was almost at the foundation
of the government and one century
ago. Gradually. step by step. the Ma
tional Government has increased its
powers at the cost of the rights of the
States. Almost imperceptibly, at first.
but holder as the days went by, the
Republican party has sought centrali-
cation laws and powers that enfeebled
the States.
The great Civil War was the outcome
Of this very principle The days of
John Randolph Tucker were spent in
an earnest and eloquent effort at keep
ing the people alive to the issue, as as
serted by Jefferson.
Yet. In the face of all this. we find
the Supreme Court of the United States
"construing" away. one by one, the
States rights supposed to be reserved.
1t may be in keeping with the times.
1t may be natural that mems minds
shall change to suit the conditions and
surroundings, but the principles laid
down and defined by Jefferson, and
thought proper by those who fought
for and established the Union should
have some respect and consideration.
The days OF patriotism are not over,
else fhe Republic would be no more.
The moment that the party in power
grows dangerously aggressiv or cor
rupt, that moment may the voters ex-
press their disapproval at the polls.
Thus 1t is that parties change and the
control Of the government changes.
The great trouble has been, and will
ever be, the general apathy OF the
voters and the difficulty in arousing
them to the seriousness of the situa-
ton.
In this, together with the increasing
boldness of the Republican party, lies
the great danger to the institutions
cherished by Thomas jefferson, and
upoh WHICH lhe government WAS 1Ounu-
ed.
A strong centralized government may
be advantageous in some respects, but
f. is belived by able men to be far
more dangerous in many others. The
United States is but a compact be-
tween States. and the rights not ex-
pressly given by the Constitution are
reserved to the States. Orators and
campaigners and newspapers should
pay more attention to this important
matter. in order that the younger gen.
Grafton may not overlook it and thus
the more easily fall the prey of de-
signing politicians, seeking to estab-
lish a strong centralized ssnNernment.
that leads on to Imperialism, militar-
ism and monarchy.

is going the rounds OF the press. There
is nothing particularly new or striking
about 1t; indeed 1t Is merely 1896 flap
doodle warmed over; but as it has
been heralded in certain quarters as
Significant" and has furnished occa-
sion for numerous homilies, it is here
with given:
THE advocacy OF Bryan for the pres
3qency by one of the rwo political par
ties is positive menace to the preser-
Vauon and existence OF the financial
commercial and mercantile institutions
or this country. We are sick and tired
of Mr. Bryan and all that he repre-
sents, and we hope that an Indignant
and long-suffering people will give him
such quietus next November as to
remove him for all time from the field
OF presidential aspirants."
We will not pause to admire the lin
guistic beauties of this excerpt, which
might very we'll have come from the
we'll of Hon. Mark Hannas indebted
English We know not what may be
meant by menace to the
preservation" Of anything: and
the field Of presidential aspirants"
leaves us limp with wonder. 1t is the
argument. the broad and luminous
principles, and the wealth of assertion
of these anonymous Napoleons of
finance" that expand our bosom
with JOY and pride. and the abundant
knowledge that the country must still
be safe. The note-shavers still man
the bastions. and the clarion call to
arms Of THE "shent-p silent" gentry
pierces the QuverinE atmosphere
They ore "sick and tired" of Mr.. Bryan;
OF them nobody can be either "sick" or
tired" they are perennial rapture.
TO the man OF sense. 1t is quite SUI
perfluous to point out that to no iegit-
innate business can Mr. Bryan's cleo
tion be menace. The legitimate bus
aness interests of the country are not
fearful OF disaster as a result of Dem
ocratic triumph at the polls. TO claim
chat any political party that polls over
100000 votes is antagonstic to bust
ness" Is to talk rank twaddle. II is

fdge. through national legislation and
fdporitism. that arc sick and "tircd,
of AIR. Bryan and that hate him-Lc-
cause they quite thoroughly understand
that they cannot use him. He insists
that the scales shall be held even--that
IS all. 1t Is quite enough to provoke
the hostility of the crew that wants
not President of the whole people
but the plant tool OF a. clique, in the
White House. This element can be
depended on to do the wi,imperlng for
the campaign; this was foreseen from
the first; but the whimpering Will cut
q small figure in this campaign which
will be fought on broader lines.

IN CONGRESS.
A Brief synopsis OF the Proceedings
in the senate and House
ON Monday.

Washington, May 29.-In the course
of a speech in favor of the adoption
Of a resolution expressing the ~senate's
sympathy for the Beers Monday Sem
ator Wellington (Md.) referred to a
secret understanding existing between
the United States and Great Britain.
When Senator Lodge (Mass.) demand
ed proof hat such an understanding
existed, Senator Wellington said that,
under the circumstances, it was diff
cult to present,tangible proof, but he
believed the proof could be found in the
secret archives of the state depart
ment. Senator Lodge replied that I'M
der our form of government no such
understanding could exist, and as the
secretary of state had emphatically
denied the existence of any alliance or
understanding, he believed the coun-
try would accept his statement as true.
The rSading of the sundry civil appro-
pri2 don bill was completed, but not
ali of the committee amendments have
been disposed of. A lively debate was
precipitated over the proposition to
continue the life of the industrial COM
mission until October 81, 1901. Charges
We're made that the commission was
being used as a republican campaign
machine and that important testimony
had been suppressed. The committee
amendment, however. was agreed to.
Washington, May 29.-Monday was
a duh day in the house, considering
the near approach of the final adj
journment. The Alaskan civil gov
eminent bill was passed and some
odds and ends of legislation were
cleaned up. Mr.. Dalzell gave notice
that the a%nti-trust resolution and bill
reported by the Judiciary committee
would be considered Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of this week un-
der a special order.

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
San Francisco Board of Health Is RE-
strained from Interfering
with MOngoIiana.

San Francisco, May 2o.-The United
States circuit court of appeals, Judges
Morrow, Hawley and De Haven, sitting
en- banc, issued the injunction prayed
for by the Chinese residents of this
city restraining the board of health
authorities from interfering with the
free movements of the Monaghan resi-
dents Of San Francisco and their free
dom in travelling to and from this city.
The complaint of the Chinese stated
that, in enforcing the terms of a reso-
luton adopted by the board of health,
declaring that plague existed in this
city, they were restrained of their lib
critics granted them under the consti-
tuition of the United States and the
existing treaties between the govern
ment of the United States and the Chi
nese government; that the authorities
Disseminated against the Mongolian
race in singing out the Chinese and
Japanese for the enforcement of the
terms of the resolution; that the half
kline prophylactic was not the proper
treatment of persons already exposed to
the plague, and that neither the board
of health nor the federal authorities
had proven that a single case of plague
existed in this city or state. The court
sustained every contention in the COM
plant and granted the injunction. The
decision was read by Judge Morrow
and was concurred in by Judges De
Haven and Hawley.

Table Showing the Actual tx.
penses for Several Years Past.

M
Much discussion is had from time
to time regarding the criminal ex-
penses for a number of years, and
much discussion Is had as to whether
they are increasing or decreasing and
as a rule no two sets Of figures pro-
duced by combatants agree, and each
and every one claiming to get them
from the official records. The work
OF digging ont'' these costs from
among all the other costs and ex-
penses Of the county is complicated
and tedious, and to one unaequainted
in a practical way with the records
and SYSTEMS of the county business
it is almost an impossibility. THE
HERALD is able to present the below
table only through persistent and
careful work in which it had the able
assistance Of County Attorney Latter
+, ty, Auditor Crnzen and CLERK of the
Courts DAVIS, who gave their time
and knowledge most cheerfnlly and
willingly that a correct statement
might be given to the people OF the
criminal court costs of the county
from 1891 to 1899, both inclusive.
