Democratic InAincerity.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In connection with two points of argument
of the democratic press in the present cam
paign. viz. the forcible annexation Of ter
ritory and the denunciation of the admin
istration with regard to the alleged sur
render of American territory In Alaska to
Canada, 1t may be Of interest to revert to
two transactions which occurred almost ST.
multaneously under a democratic adminis-
tration.
In 1874 the paramount issues of the
democratic party We're expressed in their
campaign catch phrases, Polk, Dallas and
Texas" and "Fffty-four, forty or fight"
Polk elected. and Texas. then an in
dependent nation, was annexed to the
Union. being allowed certain retention of
rights never before or since permitted any
other state. 1t 50 happened that Texas had
dispute with Mexico regarding their bOun-
dairy line. the former claiming ii to be the
Rio Grande and the latter the Nueces river.
Mexico desired TO submit the matter to ar
bitrament. but President Polk ordered troops
into the disputed territory and precipitated
the only unjust war the United States ever
waged against a foreign power, with the
result that il acquired the district In dis
pGte and enough more territory to form six
or seven large states.
With regard to the bold assertion that
the northern boundary line of the United
States should be fifty-four degrees forty
minutes north latitude. the present south
ern line of Alaska, very different tactics
we're pursued. Mr.. Polk did not throw
troops into what Is now British Columbia
but arbitrated with Great Britain and sur
rendered to II that magnificent province
without fighting. He wrenched from Mexi-
CO by force what rightfully belonged to
her and surrendered to Great Britain what
| he and his own party had pledged them
selves. even at the expense of war, TO re-
| tain as part of the United States
Yet In the face of these absolute facts
| Mr. Bryan and his presumably democratic)
party denounce the present administration
and praise the former acts Of the demo
| cra tic party which relate to aggrandize-
| ment and to REIMBURSEMENT of territory
| o Temporal. o mores!

Lecture ON Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, the Holy City," is the
topic of the fourth illustrated lecture on
trayel o being given in the Carroll
club auditorium. The pictures illus
trating this lecture are said to be es-
pecially fine, and well-calculated to
bring to all who attend a proper reali-
cation Of the present condition of Je-
rusalem and its environs with their
many historical and religious associa-
lions. The subject will always be of
interest to Christians, Hebrews and
Moslem, for all of them look on Jeru-
salem as their Holy City. The lecture
will conduct his hearers to spots ia
miliar by name to all readers of Scrip
ture; he will bid them stand where the
Savior stood, and gaze on the same
scenes that the Disciples knew.
The Mount of Olives. the Garden of
Gethesemane, the Mosque of Omar, the
Holy Sepulchre, Mount Calvary, the
Tombs of the Kings, the Pools of Be-
thesda and of Hezekiah are among the
many points Of interest that will be
treated. 1t is to be hoped that this
lecture on Monday evening, January
Sth, will be well-attended, for it is
an opportunity that is very rarely Of
fered to a Wheeling audience. The,
Carroll club deserves commendation
for these beautiful lectures and the
graphic pictures illustrating them
which it has brought to Wheeling.

The past week has been a busy one
with Chairman T. M. Garyin. of the
Dewey demonstration committee, who
has charge Of sending out the invita-
lions to the different organizations ex-
pected to participate in the big Dewey
celebration on the 22nd of next month.
Not only have a vast number of let
tiers been sent out but, replies have
been received from many who state
positively that they will be represented.
Many prominent officials will also be
here and the way the invitations are
being accepted leaves no doubt that the
demonstration will be the biggest thing
that ever took place in Wheeling.
During the past week the fine sword
which is to be presented to Lieutenant
Doddridge vas ordered through Jacob
w. Grubb, the we'll known jeweler. 1t
will be a very fine one and will cost
approximately $500. This amount is
expected to be raised by subscription
without much trouble. . The amount
has almost been secured Chairman
Garyin has also received an official cir
cular announcing that the railroad rate
will be n fare for the round trip be-
tween all points within a radius of one
hundred miles of Wheeling. On the B.
& O., this rate includes Keyser, which
is IT'S miles from Wheeling. Tickets
are to be sold February 21st and 22nd
and the 23rd. The committee have
asked that the rate be extended to all
points within the 200 mile limit but as
yet do not know what action the rail-
roads will take.
Admiral Dewey, as has been mention
ed, will arrive On the 21st and will be
accompanied by his wife. Lieutenant
Doddridge Is expected to arrive about
the same time as it has been definitely
settled that he will be able to be pres
ent to receive the sword in person.
His leave OF absence from the Norfolk
navy yard was secured through the eff
forts of Senator Elkins.
This week Chairman Garyin will con-
tinue sending out the invitations ana
registering the list of organizations and
prominent men who will be on hand.
1t is no small affair and Mr.. Garvin
has had his hands full attending to
these duties.
In regard to the sword there is lit
tie to add except that it is to be a fine
one and as a small amount is yet nee
essary, no doubt many more subscrip-
'tions will be received for it's purchase
when the time arrives. Those receiv-
ing invitations to participate in the
demonstration are requested to answer
promptly that the committee may not
be handicapped in any part of the pro-
gramme.

MORE OF THE SAMPSON BUSHES

MORE OF THE SAMPSON BUSINESS.
There is a strong and growing feel
ing in the navy against Secretary Long
for what is regarded as his %unreason-
able and dog-in-the-manger favorit.
ism for Admiral Sampson. The
mouths of naval officers, of course, are
sealed, but it is apparent that he is
held by them responsible for the delay
in officially recognizing the gallantry
of the men of the North Atlantic
squadron who destroyed Cervera in the
famous battle of Santiago.
1t is charged that Secretary Long
~stubbornly refuses to send to Congress
any recommendations whatever in this
connection, because he has had intim-
atoms that Simpsons claims would be
turned down by that body, and it is
said he will stick to Sampson through
thick and thin, and make no move to
recognize any n else SO long as
Sampson remains un~recognized as the
hero of Santiago.
Thus it is Long and Sampson against
the whole North Atlantic squadron,
who fought and won this brilliant vic
tory. All of the real heroes, the Off
GERS and men of all the ships that
fought Cervera with Schley, are not to
be officially recognized, because the
country declines to see in Sampson,
who was not there, the chief hero of
all.

~, Or rather request for ~ explana-
tion. Of the United states government
has been sweetly received IN London.
Ambassador Choate, with the very best
wishes Of the crown was informed that
the matter would be attended to in Its
proper order. This e practically
the end Of it, unless most vigorous de-
mands for speedy answer are made,
which is not at all likely. By the time
England gets ready to attend to the
case, therefore, she will have gained all
there is to be gained by the unwar-
ranted seizure, and then. Of course, will
be ready to make proper reparation or
apology to her great and good friend
the President.
This has been the English method
from time out of mind, and none knows
this better than Uncle Sam, who has
carried disputes with Her Majesty's
government over the best part of a
century without arriving at any on
clusion and with England still holding
the point of vantage.
The action of the German govern
ment in the very near future will de-
termine just how much in earnest the
Kaiser is in the present demands of his
government on London. The present
reused state of public sentiment in Ger
many may force a hand or two in this
matter.
