republican policy is better fitted to permit
such a course than the democratic. Inc
republican theory is that the philippines
constitute territory belonging to the United
States and are not an integral part OF the
governing entity, the Union. Being such
they are subject under the Constitution to
be disposed of by Congress without the re-
striction of numerous limitations imposed
upon Congress in dealing with the states
which constitute the Union. The democrats
contend that Immediately upon the ratifca-
ton of the Paris treaty the Philippines
became an integral part Of the United
States; and, II this view is sustained, the
obstacles to separation or secession or
abandonment are increased hundredfold
Where is the power Of Congress stated
which gives to it the authority to ALLEVIATE
an integral part Of the United States, or
any American soil. except that Of territory
belonging to the United States?' A sweep
ing victory for the democratic contentious
on this point would result in the national
decision that while the Philippines ought by
all means to be separated from the United
States they are constitutionally insepara-

CarIism Again Rampant In Spain.

Spain is Just now facing a more serious
danger than the government cares to have
known beyond the borders. A strict CEN
sorship over the news has been established

activities of the Carists, who are showing
signs of renewed energy and determina-
ton. The pretender himself has not been

Carist movement, however, seems to pro-
coed without the aid of the leaders, who
remain in exile and do not appear to be
active participants. The Carlsts doubtless
include many reactionaries who are paru-
sans of the pretender only for the purpose
of making trouble. They need but little
incentive to organize a revolt The gov
eminent has taken strong measures of
precaution and repression. The new min
istry is thus far harmonious and there is
but slight pre- liability at present of the
movement OBJ lining much Roadway. 1t
remains, howe er, to be seen how far the
crown has been undermined by the trou-
bles of 1918. and to what extent the peo-
Pile remain loyal to the dynasty after the
revelations of weakness which the war
with the United States caused. 1t was ex-

agitation, and 1t is felt that among a GER

senator McCOmas Nails u Yarn.

Senator McComas, In his speech in Bal
tinlore Saturday night, paid his respects to
his colleague Senator Wellington with ref
ercnce to the latter's charge, made early
in the campaign, that The President had
secured his WellnStons, support of the
Paris treaty by promise which was after
wards broken. This feature of the cam
paiSn has stood alone because of the
robustness of the accusation. The President
has been accused of poor Judgment and of
indecision in dealing with the Philippine
question, but the senior senator from Mary
land is the only man who has in unmis-
taxable terms imputed personal bad faith
to him in that matter.
II has been tribute to the President
from the opposition that but little atten-
ton has been paid 20 Mr.. Welingtons
charge. The country heard it with sur
prise, and then upon the briefest reflection
seemed to brush It aside. 1t has not served
even to widely advertise its author. Mr..
Wellington has been on the stump east and
west, and has repeated his charge in his
speeches. but he has not been heralded as
the senator whose vote FOR the Paris treaty
was obtained by promise which the Pres
idcnt failed to keep, but rather as the

stamp of Winsow. Bradford, and Atkinson

with those engaged il practical affairs-but
It has been difficult to account for Mr.
Wellington upon any grounds compliment
tary to the man. And the little interest
H. has attracted has grown largely out of
his isolation.
Still, as the Pr, ~i,ent by virtue of his
office could not afford 20 reply to Mr. We'll
liHston on the subject, il was entirely
proper that Mr.. McComas who was cited
by Mr.. Wellington as a witness. should
And it must be said that Mr.. McComas ac-
quilted himself of the duly with the utmost
of force and good taste. He spoke for the
President and against his colleague He
remembered no such promise as that Mr.
Wellington claims TO have received from
the President in exchange for his assur-
aHce of support for the treaty. and he DO
Htely expresses regret that his colleague
should have forgotten the conversation that
actually did take place.

The Close States,

From the New York World.
Four years ago Mr.. Mckinley received
these electoral votes by very narrow mar
gins:
California g. by 2,I97 plurality; Delaware
3. by $500; Indiana 10, by 1851: Kentucky
II. by PSI: Oregon 4, by 2117.
Here were forty-two electoral votes that
would have been thrown to Mr.. Bryan by
a change OF less than 1900 votes. This
would, however. have left him six votes
short of a majority.
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, received
the four votes of South Dakota by only 1s3
plurality and the three votes of Wyoming
by only 5S3. A change of 1884 votes in these
two states would therefore have given Nc
kinley seven more electoral votes, increas-
ing his majority to 100.
1t Is not probable that the majorities of
either candidate Will be as large as four
years ago In most of the states, but # is
doubtful II many of them will be so close
as they were in 1896.
