DOES NOT LIKE KRUGER.

Ellensburg, Wash. Jan. 10, 1900
To the Editor: 1t is with the utmost
amazement that / read in your issue of
yesterday a report of a great public meet
ing held in Seattle to express sympathy
with the Beers and denounce England. AS
an American-born citizen / feel humiiiat-i
ed at learning that native American citi-
gems would take part and express such
sentiments as are reported, for a greater
perversion OF truth and misstatement of
facts has never come to my knowledge as
the utterance of such a meeting. Knowing
the speakers, It Is easy to understand that
part of the speeches were simply sort
of grandstand play for future effect the
balance, plea for sympathy regardless of
justice. Did any one ever hear of public
meetings being held In England to SYM
pathize with Spain during our late war?
Did not England act the part OF u big
brother during our scrap and stand by as
our only strong friend and say practically
to other nations. hands off. and is this the
return we make at first opportunity? What
business have we to NEEDLE with Engand's
affairs anyhow? She will probably settle
her own disputes regardless OF few politi-
cal agitators in the United States. And
then to say In their resolutions that ''the
cause of the Beers Is identical with the
cause for which the thirteen colonies
fought the revolution" That surely is
drawing largely on a lively Imagination
for the causes are as widely separate as
liberty and slavery, as truth and fraud.
All the evidence goes to prove. that
more despotic one man government never
existed than Paul Kruger's-no American,
Englishman or other foreigner, enjoyed any
civil, political or religious liberty that
Kruger did not feel disposed to grant He
was the one absolute ruler who removed
judges and destroyed courts, unless decis-
ions were in his favor; he confiscated pri-
waite property at will. No foreigner could
ever become citizen unless Kruger SO
willed They must renounce their al,egiance
to native country, and live fourteen
years without country and at the end of
that time Kruger himself could deny them
citizenship. There was no liberty for any
foreigner only as Kruger wied. and this
is the sort OF liberty that the Seattle meet
ing compares and likens to the cause of
the colonies of this country. But the
strangest thing of all. Is the Inconsistency
e the Irishmen of the United States In
aiding the Boer cause when 1t Is a well
known fact that no Catholic ever had any
political rights whatever under the Boer
government, neither has a Jew, and STILL
Irishmen cheer for Paul Kruger They
should learn lesson from the gallant
conduct OF their countrymen now in the
field against the Beers.
The only hope that Americans and other
foreigners In the Transvaal can have for
justice in the future. is in the success Of
England. 1t Is in the interest of liberty.

A Change for the Worse.

Joe Blackburn has been elected United
States senator by the legislature Of
the state of Kentucky. He will
succeed Senator Lindsay. A strong,
well-balanced Democrat of sound
ability is supplanted BY brilliant
but erratic genius who is as lack
ing In the qualities Of real statesman
ship as he is gifted in the arts Of whole-
sale disturbance. Lindsay was one of
the solid men of his party, wise, con-
sentative and clean. His opinions car
ried weight because they were backed
by intelligence and rugged common
sense. He was q man of honest pur-
poses and he had reasons for the faith
that was in him. His career in the SEN
ate has been one highly honorable to
himself and has reelected credit upon

Where Is He Al?

From mere folly MI Bryan ms
dropped to positive incoherence. Demo-
Gratis who recognize the inevitableness
Of his candidacy must gnash their teeth
over the impossible position In which
he has placed the party that submits
itself blindly to following his erratic
gyrations. For long time Mr.. Bryan
was convinced that our operations in
the Philippines constituted criminal
aggression" We were there, he said,
without right or warrant, and our duty
was to withdraw and leave the Fill
pinos to form government for them
selves, according to the principles Of
the Declaration Of Independence.
He took another tack later. and ad-
mitted the impossibility Of such action
on our part Then he announced him
self as a believer in a midway sort of
policy. He would treat with the rebels
on the basis Of independence. He would
withdraw the troops as soon as order
was restored. which would in his opin-
ion follow Immediately on the guaran-
tee Of a. native republic" Then he
would sail away, announcing to the
world a virtual protectorate: that is, a
promise by the United States that the
new government of the Philippines
should be guaranteed by us against ag-
gressions by any other power.
At Minneapolis, on Wednesday this
political geyser broke out in an entirely
unexpected spot. He says now that
he is a firm believer in expansion. He
loves to see the boundaries of the coun-
try enlarged. He does not refer only
to contiguous territory, or limit him
self to that He is an expansionist from
the word go, and believes that 1.-THE
whole boundless universe is ours"
Moreover, he has changed his opinion
about the Filipinos. Instead of being
a race of George Washingtons, he now
thinks that they are incapable of self
government and unfit to join their for
tunes with ours on any terms. What
he would do with them, since he re-
jects them with equal emphasis as citi-
zens and subjects, he does not tell the
public.
This deliverance must simply dumb
found the Democratic voter. He has
had to change his opinions a good many
times within the last few years to keep
pace with his party leaders, but never
has such a. lightning Transformation
been expected. Under the leadership Of
Mr.. Bryan, and to accommodate the adj
dresses that he has issued to the peo-
pie, the entire anti-expansion campaign
was organized. Democrats who object
ed to 1t swallowed their disgust as
they did when they took the silver pill.
Party discipline required the sacrifice of
conviction, and they made it. Now, be-
tween night and morning, Mr.. Bryan
quietly doubles on his own track and
asks the party to stultify itself again.
Verify, the way of the transgressor is
hard. Democracy is sorely chastened
for its submission to this leader, the
left corner of whose mouth never knows
what the right corner is about to do.
Never in our political history has there
been anything family resembling the
changes of front on the Philippine is
sue to which Mr.. Bryan has committed
the Democracy within the course of a
single year.

The Nonpartisanship Idea.

No NOnpdrIiSonSnlp lucds
Nonpartisanship in the conduct Of
municipal affairs is an empty dream.
Those who advocate 1t honestly are mere
visionaries, who shut their eyes to facts
and conditions of human nature which
they recognize and act upon in the or
binary affairs of life. Those who advo-
cate 1t dishonesty are playing over the
old fable Of the wolf in Sleeps clothing.
Under pretence of disinterested devo-
ton to the public interest they are after
the offices. And there are a good many
of them.
A strictly business administration Of
public affairs is what every community
should have. It can secure 1t only by
electing to office men of probity, Of
backbone, of devotion to the public in
terest. No matter what party label
they bear, such men will see that the
public business is done honestly, eff
cure such men for municipal offices is
the problem.
To the solution Of that problem the
nonpartisan idea does not contribute
enc iota. Our city officials must all be
elected by vote Of the people. Be
fore men can be voted for, they must
be candidates duly nominated by such
accredited authority as win secure the
placing Of their names on the official
ballot. 1t is the selection Of the candl-
date that is the first point Of attack.
Here we come upon the necessity of
organization. 1t is absolutely indis-
pensable to political action in any COM
munity larger than the town meeting.
Where all the voters can come together
for elaboration, the party can be dis
pensed with. The instant that the rep
resentative system comes into play, and
the voter appoints delegate to act for
him in some capacity, there is organi-
cation. And organization means party.
1t means a party just as much when
the organizers call themselves mon
partisans" as when they call themselves
Republicans or Democrats. Ordinarily
1t means party a good deal more COM
pact. imperious and full of predeter-
mined schemes than either Of the regu-
lar organizations; because its machin-
cry is in fewer hands and so is more
deftly manipulated.
1t is strange how many people con-
meet the word partisan" only with Re-
publican and Democrat. Anything is
partisan that originates in and works
toward the benefit of party. And a
party may be a number of men who
meet in back room and lay plans to
fool the voter. just as well as an organ
ization that stands in the open and
holds its primaries in the regular way.
Mayor Jones of Toledo ran as a mon
partisan" candidate in Ohio; but he had
and has a party so tremendously effec-
tive behind him that 1t might almost
he called a machine. If all the en-
ployes In a certain occupation were to
unite for mutual advantage under the
same rules adopted by labor unions, 1t
would not change the character of their
organization to call it the 'non-union
association"
The work. and the whole work Of
municipal government is to get good
men nominated and elected, Competent,
honest. public-spirited citizens will adj
minister our affairs well. II Republi-
can or a Democrat fills that descrip-
ton, he = exactly as At As " hs called
