Teddy a Hebrew.

In addition to his other qualities
Of greatness Teddy Roosevelt pos
sesses one that a correspondent Of
the Washington Post does not in
tend to escape the people. This
correspondent writes:
81 take great pride in supplying you
with some information concerning the
great Vice Presidential candidate on the
Republican ticket, Theodore Roosevelt.
For the first time in the history OF this
great country man OF Jewish blood
has been chosen to fill the second
highest place in the nation, and all
Jewish Americans should rejoice at
this great compliment to their race
Theodor Roosfeldt--not Roosevelt--is
descended from the old Jewish families
Of Holland and England, some ofwhom,
being poor and oppressed, came to
America several generations ago.
81 myself am descended from the old
stock, and, OF course, related, though
distantly. to Theodore Roosevelt, Gov.
ernor ofNew York and, Vice Presidential
candidate.
"'Blood is thicker than water, and l
feel sure that the Jewish Americans will
be proud to stand by this distinguished
representative Of our race, regardless Of
political attachments or differences in
religIon-whether orthodox or re-
formed. "ABRAM RoosFELDr."

PIuckIng the CubAns.

Every person required to give a
bond in Cuba, it seems, must OBJ
tain it from the Fidelity Security
Company OF Maryland. This COM
pany has an absolute monopoly Of
the bond business in the island.
The Cuban manager Of this cor
poration is a young man named
Miller, who is said to be a nephew
Of President Mckinley; he is in
troduced as such relative TO per-
sons OF authority in official and
business circles.
From Brother Abner to Cousin
Miller the Mckinley family is
making the most OF its opportuni-
ties in a financial way. There will
be a good field for Investigation
here when a Democratic Congress
assemblies.

Notification Day, were the notify.
ng done in that city. The Indian
polls PhaIaH.r (Prohibition) says
THE Bryan forces had pos
session oi Indianapolis this
week. Yesterday the official
notification OF their nomina-
ton was given to Bryan and
Stevenson. The event at
tracted immense crowds, not
only from Indiana but from
surrounding States, and il is
estimated there were $4,000
strangers in the city.
"ln honor OF the event the
saloons were elaborately dec
Grated with flags, and in the
windows were pictures OF the
Democratic nominees. It was
a great time OF prosperity for
the saloon men and they raked
in the shekals faster than a
miner in the Klondike. Spec
ial preparation had been made
for taking care of the thirsty
crowd. AT the Grand Hotel,
which was headquarters, the
long bar was supplemented by
temporary bar built on the
opposite side Of the room.
Eight extra beer singers were
employed, and when the FIRST
rush came with the arrival OF
the delegations on Tuesday
night, these were kept more
than busy in waiting on the
crowd that lined up three and
four deep in front OF the bars.
This condition continued dur
ing the next day and night,
AT the other hotels the bar
room force was also increased,
"The saloons in the neigh
borhood of Military Park,
where the speaking took place,
reaped their harvest Wednes-
daY afternoon. AT Fred.
Raseman's place, corner OF
West street and canal, the reg
ular bar had been heightened

The Chinese Outlook.

Assuming that the rescue OF the
foreigners has been accomplished
by the allies, which at this writing
seems probable, the primary OBJ
ject in the despatch Of American
troops to China has been attained.
The secondary object-the ques-
ton OF damages-still remains to
be settled. If it is true, as
announced Thursday, that the
Government will withdraw the
troops from Pekin to Tien Tsin
upon the delivery Of its Minister,
it will have made a wise move.
Negotiations for the settlement
OF the claims Tor compensation can
be conducted with less friction and
little appearance Of coercion when
they are carried on without a dis
play OF bayonets. Since Ii Hung
Chang has taken a hand in the
matter, affairs have progressed
slowly but satisfactorily. The old
fellow may succeed in extricating
his country from the ugly mess in
which it has become involved. If
he does so he will have done the
United States as great benefit as
China. We have troubles enough
on our hands now without wanting
to add to them.

No Imperialism Wanted In the
Philippines.

No Imperialism Wanted In the
Philippines.
Senator Morgan, OF Alabama, is
sturdy Democrat, without re-
proach, and by reason Of this has
been newly elected to the Senate.
Like all other true Demo
Gratis, Senator Morgan wishes to
see the honor Of his country and
OF his country's flag upheld in any
foreign land where it may have
been affronted. His patriotic zeal,
however, has led him into an un-
worthy path.
In a recent interview Senator
Morgan said: "Il had my way
would enlist a volunteer army OF
100, 900 men and send them to
Juzon to take the place OF the
seasoned troops now there. These
6s, 900 seasoned troops l would
send to China to deal with the sit
uation that has arisen there as it
ought to be dealt with"
Senator Morgan would send our
seasoned troops to China. Well
and good. Here, to certain ex-
tent, the honor of the country may
be at stake. But why should we
send another army OF 100. 900 men
the Philippines, where the dis
honor OF the country is assured7
The SENTINEL is, and always has
been, in favor Of Legitimate expan-
sion as opposed to expansion by
bloodshed and brute force. We
favor expansion by consent of the
people expanded-by justice, and,
above all, under the Constitution
and the flag as hey existed in the
DAYS when we too fought for tree
dom.
We are opposed to imperialism,
which is the acquisition Of subject
colonies, because it is un-Ameri-
can and unpopular, and makes leg
itimate expansion impossible. We
oppose it because imperialism
means that every taxpayer shall
carry a soldier on his back, and
when that soldier is killed the tax
payer will have to shoulder a pen
sion for the dead soldiers family.
The expansion brought about
by Thomas Jefferson took in an
area compared to which the terri
tory acquired under Mckinley is
but speck. 1t was done without
war. In fact, under Jefferson the
United States army almost disap-
peared. There was no need for
soldiers, American expansion in
those days required no army.
While this country expanded to
double our original area, we dis
banded the small army that ex-
isted, and tor which there was no
necessity.
1t is imperialism that breeds mill
itarism. For American expansion,
which is Democratic expansion,
Senator Morgan needs no 100, 900
soldiers in the Philippines.

Our Chinese EntAnglements.

The Administration is now
pledged to 60 forward in a cam
paign against China in connection
with and subservient to European
command, preserving only the in
tegrity OF the American division as
a separate organization.
or course it was necessary to
decide upon a leader in China, in
order to mould the jealous Euro
pean armies into a harmonious
whole; the President could have
done nothing less than enter such
a compact. But to enter il with
no reservation save that the Amer
lean troops shall camp together,
mess together, march together and
fight togeth er under the leadership
OF a German or any other Euro
pean general is TO be regretted.
Heretofore Washington has been
distinctly right in its Chinese pol
icy. Up to this move we had as
sumed as a national duty, and ire
spective Of other powers, the res
cue Of our legation and our mis-
sIonaries. We were dealing with
China separately, and alooi from
Europe. With praiseworthy re-
straint we reirained from partici-
pating in the bombardment Of the
Taku forts. We have preserved
our individuality in all things per-
tanning to the Chinese muddle, and
it strikes the average mind that we
should have at least reserved the
right to withdraw from the concert
at any time, in order to cleave to
our obvious national policy OF OBJ
tanning a full measure Of justice
without land grabbing or chestnut
hauling for other nations.
AT present England's eye is not
on Pekin only, but on Shanghai.
Germany's soldiers will compete
for the Yangtze Valley. Russia is
fighting for New Chwang, and let
no one believe she will let go OF it
when she gets it. France is lined
up with Russia and now the United
States are mixed up with the whole
mess, under European command,
with no stipulated right of with
drawal!
The Administration in the iace
Of the great grab game, and
also in the face Of the circular note
sent to the powers on July 3, in
which It was stated that this coun-
try would take part in no opera
tions for territorial compensations,
has now tied the army by ordering
it to go forward under European
orders. Neither Russia, Germany
nor France has indicated an agree
ment with the circular note oil
Washington; in fact, Germany's
suggestion that Count Waldersee
take command was made in the
understanding that extended oper-
ations would be necessary after the
fall OF Pekin.
We are now allied with the
European powers pretty much as
a monkey is allied with a hand
organ. Wherever the hand organ
goes we 60.

The ComIcaI in Politics.

An amusing feature OF the pres.
ent campaign is the suddenness
with which men of national prom
inence and acknowledged follow
ing, whose desertion Of the banner
OF BRYAN four years ago was hailed
with such delight because oi the
strength brought to his opponent,
have shrunk to the level Of pyg-
mics in power and influence now
that they have seen 6t to renew
their allegiance to the banner Of
the Democracy. It's not explained
whether this loss OF prestige has
resulted from a failure OF voice or
pen or from lack oil intelligence
in the people whom they address.
The seeming earnestness with
which Republican papers attempt
to make it appear that either is the
case would be really painful if it
was not so COmlcal.
Hon. Carl Schurz is one Of those
formerly inhuentia. persons who
have fallen from grace because OF
his opposition to imperialism,
Mr.. Bartholdt, OF St. Louis. says
he can no longer influence a vote.

Times from Washington says:
1t is learned that under the terms O
The Hague treaty which has just beer
ratified by the senate an effort will b,
made before long to exert such offices a.
may properly be extended to the belliger
Ients to bring about termination of the
war in South Africa.
Before this treaty was adopted it was
maintained that the United States could
not, without exposing this government ia
the suspicion of unfriendly motives, ven
ture to suggest the use of its good of.
fees to both parties to the war. Even
now there may be some hesitation about
declaring by advances, made even with
the best intentions, that the Transvaal is
or is not vassal state, but 1t is begin
ming to be appreciated here that the sym
pathy for the Beers is widespread and In
Icreasing and that it may not be wise to
defer too long the offer of friendly inter
|sention to save life on both sides.
1t has been discovered here that while
here ia no loss of appreciation of the
altitude of Great Britain toward the Unit
ID States during the war with Spain and
/ strong inclination to let the British go
pm and settle their own difficulties in their
Dwn way, there is making for the Beers
P strong feeling of sympathy because they
have at least nominal republic.
On the republican side the feeling is
not so strong as it is on the democratic
side, where almost every man is Boel
sympathizer. The situation undoubtedly
arises from desire on the part OF the re.
publicans to avoid pressing course that
will conflict with Mr.. McKinley's policy.
The democrats may take advantage OF this
knowledge to press the Boer side in order
to embarrass the administration.
