Testimony Of a Soldier.

+ The detractors OF the administration
who are attempting to form senti-
Sment Of opposition to the present policy
toward the Philippines. know nothing
of the situation In the islan6s. and those
who are promo to listen to their SLAM
dcrs. and their bitter Language when
speaking OF our soldiers. would better
heed the testimony Of those who are on
the ground and know what they are
talking about. Many of these soldiers
who were Democrats when they went
Into. the army, have been driven Into
the Republican party by the misrepre-
sensations OF the Democracy and the
clamor for the withdrawal OF our troops
and the senseiess iteration OF ''lmper.
iahsm." One Of these soldiers Is quoted
as saying: Those brave men fought,
bled and some OF them died not alone to
wrest that archipelago from the cruel
grasp Of Spain, but when Spanish DO
mlnion was at an end they still fought
bravely and fearlessly on, that our flag
might be respected and that lnsurrec-
tion should not exist within the terri
tory OF the United States. Those men
all believed In the Righteousness of the
cause for which they fought: believed
that thls7rlch group of Islands should be
taken from Spain. and that oncs taken
the stars and stripes should float over
the entire archipelago freely and with
out hindrance. They fought there in
that belief. and gave their blood for 1t.
They have returned home with that be-
lief us firm as when they waged war
under tropical sky. and wherever one
of them IS there will be found an up
holder Of the Philippine policy of the
administration. one who will talk of 1t
in an inspired way to his family, friends
and neighbors, and preach the gospel OF
Republicanism wherever his influence
and voice reach. 1t will tell on election
day. for those thousands of returned
soldiers are thousands Of earnest and
active workers In behalf OF the party
that will hold that which they gave of
their youth and health and strength to
secure. and will be unalterably and act
lively opposed to the party which, II 1t
gains the relns OF government. Will give
away in dishonor that for which the
Philippine army gave SO much in
honor"

The Bryan Foreign Policy.

New York Journal of Commerce: The
only reference to affairs IN China that
we can find In the Kansas City plat
form Is the denunciatIon Of the policy
which has involved the United States
"im so-caiied world politics. Including
the diplomacy Of Europe, and the in
trigue and land-grabbing of Asia, and
we especially condemn the ill-concealed
Republican alliance with England" II
this means anything at all It means n
condemnation of the administration for
sending troops to China to l,rescuc
American citizens. and II It be too late
for that, at lensty to restore order and
conditions under which our commerce
can be carried on. The Bryan foreign
policy, then, would leave China to
butcher American officials and private
citizens and destroy American property,
but would make war with England IL
necessary TO save the independence of
Mr.. Paul Kruger and his associates.

The Paramountcy Of Silver.

With their enfeebled cry Of "militar-
ism" and imperialism" the Bryanites
are Shaking hands with themselves In
the hope of capturing the German-
American vote for their inslncere caudi-
date. The sooner they awaken from
that delusion the better will it be for
them. The other day the Hon. Frank
Jones, formerly mambcr Of the Demo-
cratic national committee from New
Hampshire, declared that he would sup
port Mckinley, on the ground that
the oniy Issue was national honesty or
dishonesty in monetary matters, and
adding: The attempt to make the Is
sue OF Imperialism seems to me to be an
effort to force to the front political
quarrel as to what this country ought
to do there. four or five years from noW,
when everybody agrees as to what it
ought 20 do now. Porto Rico is our ter
ritory, Cuba Is to be delivered over to
the Cubans shortly and as to the Phil
ip!pnes, Mr.. Bryan does not propose to
bring our army and navy away from
those islands Immediately any more
than Mr.. Mckinley DOES"
This expression seems TO strike Mr..
Oswald Ottendorfer. the editor of the
New York Stats Zeitung about right,
for he agrees with Mr.. Jones conten-
ton abou. the silver issue being para
mount, and scouts the present danger
OF "imperiali.m." He does SO In the
following interview which appeared ia
the New York World: rs,
while German-Americans dread
Imperialism more than anything else
they have an idea that 1t will take years
to inculcatr imperiallstic notions OF our
government. They also think that the
NEST rabid expansionists will not dare
go too far. But with free silver 1t is
different. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES always
feel uneasy when the financial question
Is before the country. They are \ saw
Ing people. and the uncertainty Of the
value OF their savings Is bound to agi-
tate them. They insist upon n dollar OF
any kind Of money being worth 100
cents-no more and no less"
This affords the New York Sun an
opportunity to remark:
That Is. these German-AmcrIcans. like
sensible citizens generally, will vote on
the real and Immediate Issues, and nat on
m Ina Sinary Issue OF the possible future.
They are moro reasonable than Mr.. Often.
dorIer himself. for he says that he will
vote for neither Mckinley nor Bryan.
though he acknowledges that the only real
and serious Issue OF tho campaign Is be-
tween than.
Mr.. ottendorter may be willing TO throw
away his vote at the election or to with
hold It. but citizens OF common sense.
whether they arc OF German stock or any
other, will cast their votes. ana so cast
them that they Will most tell on the re-
suit. Talk like his was common In the
summer OF 1896. but when November came
there was less neglect Of tho suffrage than
ever before In our history, and the votes
thrown nwny were relatively much fewer.
Even the Prohibition ticket received only
onc-halt of the number is obtained In 1872.

Profanity Before a Femnle.

Southeastern Reporter: Parks vs..
State-supreme court of Georgia. Joe
Parks was accused Of using profane
language in the. presence OF n female.
From judgment of the superior court
affirming conviction he prings error.
Reversed.
While the evidence In this case am
ply supported finding that the accused
used the language charged in the accus-
alton, It was not sufficient TO authorize
n finding that when he used the same
he knew that female was within hear
Ing. or that he used the same under cir
cumstances that he must have known
this fact. 1t is true the language was
used on public road. near dwelling
house, and that female was In the
house and heard the language. but 1t
does not appear that the accused knew
who constituted the members OF the
household of the man who owned the
house. Taking the evidence as whole,
1t did not warrant the conviction of the
accused of the Oifense charged In the
accusation. Judgment reversed. All
the justices concurrlng except Fish, j.,
absent on account OF sickness.

"Prosperity or Povertypn

The Manufacturers Record, OF Balti-
more, reputable and influential trade
journal. which has the interests OF the
south at heart, publishes I number of
letters In Its Issue of last week from
men identified with the material condi-
Is headed Prosperity or Poverty
Which," Every one OF these man are
opposed to the election of Bryan. They
are men of no political ambition. They
are not oihce-seekers. They do not de-
pend for their support upon the result
of elections. Nevertheless. because Of
their opportunities for observation of
the trend of events, because OF their
training to business methods and be-
cause OF the diversity OF their interests,
they are In n position to gauge accu-
5 rately the possibilities OF tendencies In
national politics. and the expression OF
! their opinions Is representative of the
sentiment OF the substantial element In
the south which recognizes tho folly Of
adhering strictly TO party, whatever
absurdity the party organization may
be guilty of.

Appropriate From One Point

The appointment of General Frank
Reeder as banking commissioner seems
entirely appropriate from one point of
view. He was dismissed in disgrace
from Governor Hastings cabinet for
having Joined in bond given to State
Treasurer Haywood to indemnify the
latter for illegal payments, made to
Quay henchmen, on the padded pay
rolls of the legislature. A man of that
stamp is just suited to The Quay Stone
administration of the state government.
Whether the people of the state will
enjoy having him rewarded and put
again in high position is another mat
ter But Quay takes care of his friends
and that is the reason his friends work
so strenuously to keep him in power
Keeping men like Attorney General
Elkin and General Frank Reeder in fat
offices is a necessary part of machine
politics in the state of Pennsylvania
