The Leipsic Tageblatt, representing
in its constituency the Nationalist.
Pan-Germanists. anti-Semites and
Saxon exporters-who, taken together.
form a considerable proportion Of the
country's population-foresees a war
with England in the not too distant
future. 1t says, in a remarkable edi-
torial: Disappointment over the cool
reception in Germany of Secretary
Chamberlain's alliance proposal per-
haps partially explains the English
seizure of German ships. Still, these
seizures would not have happened u
England were not convinced that tho
fear Of a continental alliance against
her was unfounded. England felt that
she could drop the mask Of friendship.
Events, then, have proved that our re-
lation to England is the most impor-
tant feature OF our international poll
tics, and that this problem can sooner
or later be solved only in one way.
England understands the situation
thoroughly. Her thoughtful politicians
are familiarizing themselves with the
idea that war alone can restore the
equilibrium in the Anglo-German re-
lStions."

A RepubIIcau BImetaIII.t.

No democrat ever went further In
championing bimetallism than Senator
Chandler did in his speech the other
day in opposing the gold-standard-na-
tional- bank-trust bill. However rank
a thick-and-thin republican partisan
he has been on every other strictly
party measure. Chandler has always
been an outspoken opponent OF the
enemies OF silver coinage. He is still
as firm a believer in the final triumph
of bimetallism as the most sanguine
democrat could be.
In truth, In spite OF the present
conditions" he declared. 'the case in
favor OF bimetallism still remains I'M
impaired"
He says the republican party ought
not to do any such grievous wrong as
to forever discard remonetization,
which II is about to do in the gold
standard bill now on its passage. He
entreats his party associates not to
burden the American people with gold
monometallism, but to renew in I'M
mistakable language their Oft repeat
ed pledges to remonetize silver.
Entreaties in this case are as futile
az 20 entreat a burglar caught red
bonded with his stolen booty to give
r. up. surrender to the law. and join
tie church. The only way for repub-
Iicans, like Chandler. to achieve BIZ
metallIsm is to turn their backs on.
and their influence against the party
that is the political agent OF the money
trust. But Chandler Is too little a
patriot and too much a partisan to do
this. He will talk bimetallism till the
election rolls around and then he will |
vote the other way.-Kansas City |

They Fear Him

In the minds OF the Republican lead
ers there exists a strange fear OF Bry-
ans candidacy for president. Unwill-
ing. as they are. to admit It. their I'M
easiness as to the result OF the election
next year Is evident from their utter
ances on the subject, and from their
political movements. They would re-
joice were some unexpected event TO
prevent his nomination and force the
Democrats to select some other candi-
date. Why Is this? They defeated him
in 1896. and they profess to be able to

the Republican managers. 1t Is now re-
garded as certain that OF these states
Bryan will carry all but Oregon and
North Dakota, while Maryland. not in
the list. has swung back into the Dem
ocratic column TO stay. The result in
Ohio indicates that II Is by no means
safe for Mckinley. and the opposition
to imperialism in the great states OF
Illinois. Wisconsin and Michigan gives
more than a fair promise OF Democrat
ic success in all of them. These. calcu-
lations are not all that break the rest
Of the opposition to Bryan. They real
ize that Mckinley has grown weaker
and that Bryan has grown stronger
every day since the last election. They
have hunted diligently to find a flaw in
Bryan's political armor. and they
have found nothing. His pure private
life. his sincerity. his honesty, and his
patriotism have become more and
more evident to the people as time has
passed. and the young man who was
nominated in 1896 Is now regarded by
the people as the ripe statesman and |
he safe adviser. His personality gives |
him a strength with the people that |
the chicanery Of the politicians can

Tn. H.una-r.yn. Subsidy Trick.

One of the tricks In the Hanna sub
sidy bill Is the pretense that the cost to
the treasury will never exceed 5000
600 a year. II this were true, the pro-
fessed aim Of the bill could never be
attained. What the subsidy-seekers
say they mean to do is to put our for
eign commerce under the American
flag. They point with establishment
and grief to the fact that only Is per
cent Of It is now done by American
ships Well, suppose We advance to
30 per cent. or so, or 80. what would
the cost be under the Hanna bill? 1t
has been carefully figured out by ex-
Commissioner Of Navigation Bates and
he declares that. II 80 per cent. Of the
trade were done in American bottoms,
the subsidy payments would be, the
first year, $4,000 600: II so per cent,
81, Oo0. 600; II 80. s36.000.0 900. By the
end of the twenty years for which con-
tracts are to be made, and allowing
for the natural increase In commerce..
the treasury would have to pay out
sl5, 000. 900 q year in subsidies IL only
so per cent. Of the trade were under
the American nag. This Is the rich
ness on which Hanna has his eyes fas-
tened. That $4,000 maximum

Getting Their Eyes Open

The New Haven Register. which has
followed the administration with
scarcely a deviation in its expansion
policy. has suddenly begun TO scent i'm
perialism in the administrations
course. II now rejects the new con-
stitutional theory that the territories
OF the United States are not a part OF
the United States and not within the
scope OF the constitution. as has been
so persistently claimed by Senator Or
vile II. Plat. The Register thinks
that Senator Plat and others will be
thrown down by the Supreme court.
and says so in this amusing language:
There are plenty OF decisions on file
to deny the power OF this government,
under its constitution. 10 hold men as
subjects. or to put one territory TO a
use another territory Is not put to.
There Is every reason to expect that
should congress commit itself to the
Plat error, IL would soon reach the
every reason to expect a decision not
only unfavorable to the idea. but one
that will save the country from a pol
icy Of imperialism. which is the direct
outcome of a colonial form OF govern
ment for our off-continental posses
sions."
Amusing II is because the Register
is just beginning to call the thing by
its right name-imperialism- 1t even

DOWN WITH FREEDOM OF

Senator GaIlInger CRep) Of New

rules Of the senate as follows:
An resolutions shall be referred
without debate to their appropriate
committees, unless Nthe senate oy
unanimous consent orders otherwise
The adoption Of this rule would make
Il impossible for Senator PettigreW or
any other senator to speak during the
morning hour upon any resolution
which he might have offered. except
by unanimous consent expressly
granted, because any resolution Of
fered would 20 without debate to the
appropriate committee The commit
tees are In control Of the majority
party in congress. and would not re-
port any resolution for consideration
which did not support the admisistra-
ton. Thus, by the operation OF this
rule. the voice OF free debate would
be as completely stifled In the senate
as Is the case in the house. where
nothing can be considered without the
previous Endorsement OF the committee
on rules. The senate. which has re-
manned a delIberative body. where ev-
cry state had the right, through It's
two senator's. to be heard upon the
general state OF the country. would
fail under the complete control Of the
