ONLY AN OPPOSITION PARTY.

The vote of the House of Representa-
tives last week upon the question of
submitting constitutional amend
ment for the regulation of trusts again
| demonstrated the fact that the Demo
cratic party has no policy, but is sim
ply party of opposition and retro
gression.
Its leader, William j. Bryan, las
year annouaced that the proper way
to regulate trusts would be by an
amendment to be submitted to the vot-
ers of the various states, and the Dem
ocratic party, true to its traditions, i'm
mediately arrayed itself in opposition
to it, although in every state conven-
ton they have had n plank in their
platform denouncnc trusts. The vote
in the House was on strict party lines,
only two Republicans voting against
the measure, and only five Democrats
voting for it. The vote not only dem
onstrated the msincerity of the Dem
erly regulating trusts, but II gives the
people of the nation another object les
son to the effect that the Democratic
party is incapable of regulating or car
rying out any reforms, is simply n
party of nogation and opposition.
II is this lack of ability that is being
constantly demonstrated, that is caus-
ing so many Democrats in this and
other states to leave their party and
to affiliate with the Republican party.
No matter how beneficial the meas
ure, no matter how great the reform,
even If it has been proposed by their
own leader, when 1t has been adopted
by the Republican party and it is pre-
pared to enact it into law, the Demo-
cratic party Immediately arrays itself
in opposition.
One can readily understand why the
mule is used in the cartoons of the
public prints as the emblem of the
Democratic party. Its reputation for
obstinacy and general foolishness
makes it the proper type Of the party.
The regulation of trusts in proper
way has been defeated by Democratic
obstinacy and insiucerity. and hereaf-
ter the Democratic party cannot es-
cape being known as having by its
representatives in Congress decided in
favor of trusts.

CRUELTY TO CHINESE.
CAUSE OF THE BOXERS" RAIDS
German and Belgian Engineers Said TO
Hsve Provoked Attacks by Raising
Houses Selling Supplies, and Impress
sing Labor.

In regard to the causes for the for
nation of the Chinese society known
as Boxers" w. E. Curtis, well in
formed correspondent of the Chicago
Record, says:
Il realize that 1t is very unpopu-
lar position, but nevertheless there are
two sides to the story of the Boxers"
in China. You will notice by the dis
patches that there are railroad riots in
the Shantung province, and the Bel
gian and German railway engineers
have been assaulted and are afraid of
assassination, and that work has been.
suspended on certain portions Of the
line now under construction. l have
alluded to this matter before, and
while no one can Justify assassination
or approve the cowardly methods
which the Boxers" have adopted to
revenge themselves upon the foreign
devils" that have invaded their coun-
try, they can at least plead extraordin-
ary provocation, for the Germans and
the Belgians who are constructing rail
roads in the Shantung province have
treated the natives in II most abomiIs
able manner and have provoked tlN'
riots of which they now complain.
That portion of China Is one of the
most densely populated sections of the
earth, and the people have desperate
struggle for existence. Every inch OF
ground is cultivated; every straw and
every sprig of vegetation Is utilized in
some way for the support of life. The
country is divided into little farms,
which are cultivated almost with mi
croscope, one might say, because 1t Is
necessary for the subsistence of some
family, and the dead are buried IN the
gravel hills, where nothing can grow.
nndar
these conditions railways are being
constructed by German and Belgian
engineers, who show a most brutal in
Inference to the rights and the prop
erty of the people. They run their
lines across the farms, they tear down
houses, burn villages, destroy crops,
the people In q most cruel and arbi-
trary manner. If the same things
should occur in the United States or in
Europe or in any other part OF the
world they would be attended by the
same results. The boxers were or
ganized to resist and revenge these
outrages, and they use the only means
within their power to punish their OPP
pressors. a Chinaman never gets any
sympathy either in America or else
where. and the consciousness of that
fact compels him to carry on his oper
atoms with as great secrecy rs possi-
BILE If the German and Belgian rail
road people would treat the poor coolie
seize supplies. impress labor and treat
farmers of the Shantung province In
Just and honorable manner and give
them fair compensation for the prop
erty they have taken or destroyed,
there would be no need of sending
fleets to the Chinese waters or demand
ing indemnity at the tsung-li-yamen,

Democratic Praise of Lincoln.

A cartoon in Democratic paper rep
push a statue of Lincoln from its ped
astal 1t is pity that Abrahm Lin
colin could not have known during his
life that the storm of Democratic bit
terness and abuse directed against him
was superficial and to be regarded as
merely u latent form of admiration
with that remarkable party. 1t would
! be unkind 10 reproduce the Democratic
epithets hurled at the great war presi-
dent, the Democratic inslstence that he
was a failure, and the ocean of Demo-
cratic writing intended to discourage
him and defeat his plans. Lincoln died
Mt his post without supposing that the
time would come when the Democratic
party, which assailed him when alive
with every conceivable kind of opposi-
ton, and never acknowledged that he
was right in anything, would attempt
to borrow his name to cover its pur-
poses. Lincoln never changed. He
died, as he had lived, the target of
Democratic slander, hatred and OBJ
structon. But the Democratic party
seems to have changed in its estimate
| Of his character and deeds.
| President Mckinley may, therefore.
pursue the even tenor of his way, so
| lar as Democratic encomiums are con-
cerned. Forty or fifty years hence the
Democratic party may claim that they
are following in his footsteps and pre-
ierving his precedents. They may even
start a branch of the Democratic party
10 be called Mckinley Republicans"
md to meet as n side show to Demo
cratic national convention. But in the
carrying forward of human affairs it is
sad that the Democrats are always n
generation too late. To pelt man
with hard words and set pitfalls in his
path, while alive and canonize him a
third of century after his death is not
in accordance with the soundest quail
ity of reason or the sOundest impulses
of the heart. A few drops of the dew
Of appreciation should fail elsewhere
than on the moss-grOwn monument of
n patriot and statesman. But then the
Democratic party is II law unto itself
There is nothing else Just like it. A
contemporary poet seems to have had
its epitaph in mind when he wrote:
The lightning hug is brilliant.
But it hasn't any mind:
1t stumbles through existence
With its headlight on behind.

Senator McLaurin on Expansion.

To oppose national expansion is for
the Southern people to oppose further
Industrial development, to oppose the
opening of new markets for their sur
plus products, and to invite the loss of
millions of dollars to the producers and
manufacturers of raw staple materials.
The South is capable of infinite expan-
sion from the fertility and versatility
of her soil and her undeveloped re
sources and manufacturing Industries
in the production of what the entire
world needs. This expansion can only
be hindered or prevented by an unwise
opposition to the policy of national
expansion. The South has everything
to gain and nothing to lose by favor
ing it.-Leslie's Weekly.
