DEPENDENCIES"

The very word dependencies" is n whole
anti-imperalstc argument In itself! See Mr.
Bryan and his friends tear passions TO tatters
at the mere idea of this free country governing
dependencies of a republic having subject terri
tory, At the mention of the bare possibility of
the Republican party's treating Porto Rico or
LUZOn in the slightest degree apart from
the other territory of the United States they
will mlsQUOtc Jefferson to any desired degree
We have frequently pointed out how Jefferson
ruled Louisiana, through n Governor with the
powers under grant Of Congress of the former
French and Spanish monarchical officials. and
how the civil government there by law estah-
lished ignored the Constitution of the United
States. not merely with regard to the political
rights of the people governed, but also with
regard to their personal rights, since it denied
them the jury trial guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton. study Of the legislation of 1901 will
reveal on the statute book many Illustrations
of the treatment of Louisiana rs subject
province by Congress and President Jefferson
For instance on March p, 1904 President Jef
rerson signed an act concerning the keeping Of
public records, Section of which provided:
That all the provisions of this act and the act
to which this is supplement. shall apply as
vel to the public acts, records, office books.
Judlciai proceedings courts and offices Of the
! respective Territories of the United States and
countries subject to the jurisdiction Of the
United States, to the public acts records
office books, judicial proceedings courts and
offices of the several States.
The statesmen of 1901 seemed to be clear in
their own minds about the sovereignty of the
United States extending over three separate
and distinct areas-the States, the Territories
and countries subject to the Jurisdiction of the
United States" Nor was this the first time
that dependencies not strictly part of +be
United States were mentioned in law The
original charter of the United States Bank in
1871, authorized the directors to establish
I! branches ''wheresoever they shall think proner
within the United States" That wouId seen,
to cover the whole ground, but in 1901 this an
thority was not thought sufficient to permit
them to open an office in newly annexed New
Orleans, so an act was passed and signed nv
President Jefferson on March %. 1904, authoriz-
ing the establishment of branches "in anv of
the Territories or dependencies of the United
States Yet Mr.. Bryan says a republic can
have no dependencies!
In these days we also hear great deal about
the innovation Of having people under the SOW
ereignty Of the United States. being inhabitants
OF It's dependencies and yet not citizens. A
tremendous innovation indeed! Just as one
New-York tribune., 1900-10-19

sample of citizenship as conferred by Jefferson
on the inhabitants of Louisiana turn to the
act of February "a, 1904 relating to the record
ing registering and enrolling of ships in the
District Of Orleans 1t provides American
registry for any vessel sailing under French or
Spanish flags belonging wholly TO citizens or
the United States residing in the new acqui-
sition or to inhabitants of said ceded Terri
tories. who continue to reside therein, and
"of which the master is citizen of the United
States or an inhabitant aforesaid Sec
ton . of the same act enacted:
That the inhabitants of the said ceded Terri
tory who were residents thereof on the thlr-
tieth day of April, one thousand eight nun
dred and three. and who shall take the oath lof
allegiancel aforesaid. and who continue to re-
side therein or citizens of the United states
residents of said ceded Territory. shall be en-
titled to all the benefits ard privileges of own
ing ships or vessels of the United States
So it appears that the law recognized IN
habitants Of the dependent Territory who mad
taken the oath of allegiance and fOrsworn
Spanish or French nationality as persons differ
ent from citizens of the United States resident
in that country. OF course, ii is wicked despot-
ism for Mckinley to rule inhabitants OF an
nexed territory who are not citizens! But JEFF
ferson didn't seem to mind.

Ibis OWN CHANCELLOR."

When the German Emperor dropped his
pilot" more than ten years ago, it was said by
shrewd observers that thenceforth he would
be his own Chancellor. That Bismarck should
have successor, in the vital sense of the word
was manifestly impossible. The world does
not produce two Bismarcks in one generation
Had there been another. however, the En-
peror would not have chosen him. He dis
missed Bismarck because he did not want a
Bismarck for his Chancellor. There was no
disagreement between them on matter Of
policy. The trouble was that the policy upon
which they were agreed was Bsmarcks policy.
The Emperor wanted it to be his own policy.
That was all. And so the pilot was dropped
and the German ship of state went Full steam
ahead"' at the Imperial command. Caprvi
was named as Chancellor, since it was desir-
able, if not necessary, to have some one in the
place. A more loyal high minded and patriotic
man never held office Bismarck himself was
not more truly a kings man. But he was
made from the beginning to feel that he was
only handsome fgurehead. He was not the
engine nor the propeller, and assuredly not
the helmsman nor the captain And he was
not even TO be protected in the honor due to
his place. dishonest intrigue arose against
him; he was required, as the price of retaining
Being noble man, as we'll as a nobleman he
resigned. And the Emperor was still his own
Chancellor
The next titular Chancellor was Prince
Hohenlohe, n kinsman of the Emperor and a
statesman of distinguished career He lent to
the place the lustre of a great name. as we'll
as a loyal heart and an active and powerful
mind. His intimate personal relations with
the Emperor enabled him TO discuss matters
Of State with that sovereign more freely and
perhaps more authoritatively than it was posi-
bic for either of his predecessors to do. Never
theless, he was never able to impress his own
policy upon the Emperor. If the two agreed
upon any policy ii was the Emperor's policy.
If they disagreed ii was the Emperor's side
of the dispute which prevailed The aged
Chancellor with philoSophic complacence. per-
mitted himself to be overruled and there was
no fear of Il crisis. When the great ouestion
Of intervention in China came up the Fmperor
and the Chancellor so widely disagreed that
the latter was constrained practically to with
draw from all real connection with the Gov
ernment, though he kept up appearances by
remaining in office until a conventional pre-
text for retiring should arise That pretext.
unhappily a real one has now been presented
IN his failing health. So he resigns and the
Emperor remains his own Chancellor.
Next in the succession comes Count BiiIow.
He is q good man and true of indubitable
ability. 1t is TO be assumed that upon the
chief Issue of the day, TO wit China, he
agrees with the Emperor. But it is he who
agrees with the Emperor. not the Emperor
who agrees with him. And so it win continue
to he. So long as he accepts the Emperor's
policy he will enjoy the rank of Chancellor.
When the time comes that he will not accent
that policy he will follow Hohenlohe into re-
nrement and the Emperor will continue to be

his own Chancellor. 1t is an interesting ex-
ample Of personal government under constitu-
tOnaI guise Thus far, 1t must be unhesitat-
ingly said, the experiment has worked we'll
Some one has remarked that the best govern
ment in the world is that of Car, provided
you are sure of your Gar. Well, Germany
seems now TO be pretty sure of her Emperor,
and So indeed, does the world Not in our
time has any other important sovereign come
10 his throne amid many misgivings and
prophecies of evil. and not in our time. if in
any other have such representations been
more utterly brought to grief. The world is
learning to regard William II as statesman
as well as sovereign, and as an uncommonly
able and benevolent statesman in whose hands
the destnies of his empire as safe as they
could be in the hands of any man. That is the
fact that vindicates the Emperor in being his
own Chancellor and that makes a Chancellor
crisis at Berlin an incident of nothing more
than passing personal interest

ATTITUDE OF TIE "DRUMMERs." !"

There has been much talk about the alleged
hostility of travelling statesmen, or 'drummers." I"
to the Republican party, on the ground that
their occupation is being destroyed by the
trusts. Mr.. Bryan and his advocates have dwelt
strongly upon this topic, and a vigorous effort
has been made to conduct an anti-McKinley
prOpa ganda among this particular class of bust
ness men. On the face of it the thing seems
absurd and that it is absurd is being demon
strated day by day in the testimony of the
travelling statesmen themselves and of all OBJ
servant men. travelling salesman of this
city of long experience and acute observation
writes as follows:
OF forty-three travelling men I have talked
with since Monday morning three for Bryan
and forty for Mckinley. One of these men said
he had talked with fifty men and had found
only Of them for Bryan. In recent drug
meet in Toledo with seventy-eight men present
from twelve States, siXty-siX were for Mckinley
and twelve for Bryan.
The travelling salesman is one of the very
first Of all business men to feel the fluctuations
of prosperity and to suffer from hard times
He is at the present time convinced, beyond all
question, that business is better than it was
under the last Democratic Administration; that
the predictions OF hard times under a gold
standard which Mr. Bryan made in 1896 were
false, and that on the contrary. nothing could
be worse for business and worse for himself
than any tampering with that standard by free
silver cranks. 1t is, moreover now evident that
instead of being gone the travelling saesman's
occupation is increasing in Importance 1t was
authoritatively stated the other day by the
president Of the Carriage and Harness Travel
ling Salesmen's Association that there are now
% per cent more travelling statesmen on the
road than there were three years ago. It was
only natural that he should add that % per cent
of them were for Mckinley.

TIE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Sir. Bryan has put forward, or his friends
have put forward in his behalf only one seri-
GUS reason for trying to shelve free silver and
10 make the quaint and curious thing dubbed
''anti-imperdlsm" the paramount issue of this
campaign In fact. only one reason is logically
possible or conceivable. That is that. great and
important as free silver is, "antiimperalsm'
IS greater and more important. That is the
only reason which could justify the change 1t
is the only reason Mr.. Bryan can give which
is worthy of a moments notice. We do not
say. and we do not believe. it is his real rea-
SOB. But ii is his Ostensible reason.
Four years ago. however-since which time.
Mr.. Bryan himself assures us, neither he
nor his party has changed in the least in re-
sPect TO the silver question-what did Mr..
Bryan say about his then paramount issue?
he told the people of New-York that he be-
leved "tbe gold standard is made I'D of more
misery for the human race than wars OF
'pestilence or famine, more misery than hu-
man brain can conceive or human tongue can
tell. That is what he said then of his para
mount issue the issue he then made paramount
above peace and war, life and death. but the
issue which he TOW tries to shelve and to
ignore. He said that deliberately as the ma
tured fruit OF his statesmanlike and patriotic
judgment
Is he prepared 10 reafirm that declaration
to-day? If so does he mean TO try TO persuade
us that Imperialism and "nlilitarism' are
worse than he declared the gold standard to
be? They cannot be. If the gold standard is
worse than tongue can tell OF mind can con-
ceive ii is idle 10 talk Of anything else being
worse. The finite mind cannot conceive anv-
thing beyond the inconceivable There can be
nothing worse than the worst. Or at any rate
we can conceive Of nothing worse than that
which is worse than we can conceive. On the
other hand. If Mr.. Bryan now admits that the
gold standard is not quite as bad as he rep
resented IT TO be. and that it is so much less
bad that II is possible for us to conceive of
something worse. he convicts himself of ex-
aggeration and false Judgment then and ex-
poses himself TO the suspicion that he may be
equally in error now.
