Our RIGHT TO HAVE COLONIES.

According to Senator Teller the leader
of the Silver Republicans, the constitution
does not follow the flag, and there IS
nothing in the constitution to pre-
vent this country from having colonies
Senator Telers position is Interesting, as
it may have some bearing on
the presidential contest The position
the Democrats have taken in the discus
sion of the Porto Rican tariff bill is that
the constitution follows the flag, and that
therefore the Porto Rlcans are citizens of
the United States. This being the case,
Congress cannot make tariff laws for
them which are different from those in
force for other citizens The position of
Senator Teller is the same as that of The
Republican party on the question as 20
whether Congress has the right TO make
whatever laws it p.eases for our insuar
possessions.
If the Democratic National Convention
should take the position which Democrats
in Congress have been taking on this
Porto Rican tariff question. would Sena-
tor Teller and the Silver Republicans stand
by the ticket named and the platform
adopted by it? 1t is true that the Silver
Republican vote is not large enough to
be matter Of much consequence TO the
| Democratic party in most of the states.
but in a few of them il is quite large. ana
might be Of very great benefit to it there
1t is probable, however that the Silver
! Republicans viii remain with the Demo
| Gratis. As a matter Of fact there is no.
where else for them to go except to the
! e-oi-the-Road Popullsts. They
would hardly commit the folly OF joining
that wing Of the Populists. The probabil-
ity is that they win fight under the Demo
cratic banner as they did in 1896

THE MoRGAN-JoHNsToN CONTEST.

Alabama has not been the scene Of such
an exciting political contest in many
years as that going on within her
| limits between Senator Morgan and Gov
Johnston for the senatorial seat now oc-
cupied by the former Gov Johnston has
this great advantage, namely, he is on
| the ground all the time conducting his
canvass. Senator Morgan remains in
Washington. but his friends and admirers
| are doing all they can for him.
Within the last few days il has been
said that it is the purpose of the Repub-
licans to give Senator Morgan a helping
hand They will have quite number of
| the members of the Legislature, and if
they should throw their votes to him his
election would be certain, provided his
| Democratic supporters were not bound by
caucus action. 1t is said that it is the de-
sire of the administration that Senator
Morgan shall be reelected. On several
| important matters he has shown a dispo-
| sition that has been gratifying TO it. For
that reason, it is believed. the Republi-
cans in the Alabama Legislature will be
! a his command.
| II Is uouDtIui, however, II ne Will avail
| himself of their services He certainly will
not if he is accorded fair treatment He
will go into the Democratic caucus and
will be bound by its action-at least, it is
| to be supposed he will In that event
there would be no way in which the Re
publicans could help him.
Just now there is an interesting contest
70 To
| the county in which Birmingham is sit
uated, and Senator Morgan has many
warm friends there The great iron inter
/ ests seem to think that he could render
! the Birmingham district better service
| than Gov Johnston could. They are prob
| ably right in thinking 50. Senator Nor
| gan is in the front rank of the abest and
| most influential senator's

DIR. HathawaY's success in the treatment
of Varicocele and Structure without me
aid of knife or cautery is phenomenal
The patient is treated by this method az

DR.. Hathaway always prefers, when it
IS possible, TO have his patients call on him
for at least one interview, but this is not
essential, as he has cured scores of thous-
ands of patients in all sections 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

BRYAN AND THE GOLD STANDARD
LAW.

VIII the gold standard law have any
effect on Mr.. Bryan's chances for getting
the presidential nomination Of the Demo-
cratic party? Recently there has been
some speculation along this line. in sec
lions of the country where there is very
little sentiment in favor of the l6 TO /
idea a suggestion is heard now and then
that as the gold standard bill practically
removes the silver question from the
presidential campaign it might be adyis-
able 10 nominate a candidate who is not
80 closely Identified with that question.
If it were the intention Of the Demo
cratic party TO drop the silver question il
is probable that the advisabnity Of MONT
mating some other man than Mr.. Bryan
would DE seriously considered, but it IS
not its intention 10 do anything Of the
kind. The Chicago platform will be re-
affirmed, and the silver plank is its most
prominant feature 1t may be true that
if Mr. Bryan were nominated and elected
he could not do anything to carry into
effect the silver declaration of his party,
because of a hostile Senate but The Sen
ate is not likely 10 be always hostile 10
silver. Ii is among the possibilities that
the Democrats Will elect not only the next
President but also several presidents in
succession, and it may get control Of the
legislative as well as of the executive
branch of the government Therefore be
cause the chances are against any legis-
lation in favor Of silver during the next
four or five years, il does not follow that
the Democratic party has no further use
for Mr.. Bryan.
If ii could be demonstrated that there
We're stronger candidates than Mr.. Bryan
it is probable that one OF them would be
chosen as the party's standard bearer. At
present. however, il is the consensus of
Democratic opinion that he can lead the
party 10 victory if any man can. Besides
he stands for something more than the
IS TO l idea. AS matter of fact he is a
leader that puts into shape the partys de-
mands before the party itself makes them.
The gold standard law will not lessen his
strength in the national convention in
the least.

The Norfolk Landmark (Dem) says:
Congressman Richardson is making an
intelligent and resourceful leader of the
Democratic minority in the House of Rep

unusually well-equipped, and in debate he

A MISLEADING STATEMENT.

In his speech at the Ohio Club Dinner in
New York the other day the President
said: There can be no Imperialism" The
policy he and his party are pursuing in
respect 10 our insular possessions is so
much like imperialism that it would take
an expert to point out wherein it differs
from it.
According to that policy our insular pos
sessions have no rights under the consti-
tuition. Congress can deal with them
just as it pleases. That is what it is at
tempting to do now. 1t is preparing laws
for them different from those which pre-
vail in the United States.
The Republicans may say that imperial
ism is not contemplated. But what is il
that is proposed if it is not Imperialism?
Is the policy Of England respecting the
black races under her control different
from that which the Republican party has
in view for the Philippines, and which it
is trying to have adopted for Porto Rico?
And would not the policy of the Repub-
lican party in respect to our insular pos
sessions, if adopted. have tendency to
change the United States from republic
admit that the acquisition of Porto Rico
and the Philippines looks towards impe-
rialism. They insist that it is nothing
more than expansion. i is the same sort
of expansion. they say that took place
when the Louisiana territory and other
territory were acquired. They lose sight
of the fact that the Louisiana territory
it should become part of the United
States. It is not the intention that the
Philippines shall become a part of this
country in the same way that the Louis
lana territory has become a part of it,
The Philippines. and it may be Porto Rico
are to remain dependencies. They are TO
be governed as colonies. That is why it
is charged that the policy of the Repub-
lcan party is leading towards imperial
ism.
The Republican party would not hesitate
moment about changing front and as
sorting that its purpose is to bring the
Philippines into the Union, THUS put
ting itself upon a strictly expansion basis,
but it does not dare 10 take that course
because there would be split in their
party at once. The high protection ele-
ment and. in fact, many outside of that
element, are against permitting the cheap
labor products of those islands to come
into competition with the products of this
country. 1t is hardly probable. there
fore. that the Philippines will ever be ad-
mitted into the Union. They will remain
| depend encies-colonies-as long as they are
under the control of the United States.
Therefore, that which is proposed by re-
tanning possession of them is not expan-
sion. but Imperialism. The President may
call il by some other name, but he will MOI
succeed in hiding the true character of the
Philippine policy of his party.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1900.
TWO TALL FIGURES PASS AWAY.

Two notable figures have passed
away within week-John Sherman
and Charles Dudley Warner. Both
were distinguished as leaders in the
thought and activities of the century,
and both will leave lasting impress
upon the pages of history. It is of pc.
culiar significance that both were at
one time conspicuous for their ardent
championship of the elevation of the
Negro, and later gave expression to
bitter disappointment that the black
man had not accomplished greater mir
aoles than was possible under the op.
pressive system with which he had to
contend. Mr.. Warner expected a
more rapid intellectual and industrial
advancement in the race itself and
Mr.. Sherman expected loftier poIiti'
cal advancement for himself, and never
forgave the apparent desertion of his
standard at the Chicago Convention of
1888, when he made his last dash for
the presidency. Defeated in a long
contest in 1859 for the speakership Of
the National House of Representatives
by reason of his unwavering devotion
to freedom, and as he felt in his life's
ambition through the INCONSISTENCY Of
those for whom he had sacrificed much,
his declining years carried little kindly
interest in our welfare. MIR. Sherman
misjudged the Negro. 1t was not in.
gratitude, but preference for another
man OF equal merit that led to the
results at Chicago. Mr.. Warner like.
wise made the mistake of expecting to
gather rich crop from soil that had
not been given time for development. !
Both were great and useful men.
They served US at critical mon ents,
and We honor them for the humane
spirit that prompted their sction. This
generation will profit, however, by
their experience, and temper high
with due consideration
of the unhappy circumstances sur.
rounding the rise of people like ours.
