BRYAN's CABINET ADVISERS.

Senator Lodge asks pertinent ques-
ton when he asks where Bryan, If
elected, will get cabinet. Mr. Bryan
IS bigger than his party. He will not,
II elected, be controlled by the advice
or the men who have been the leaders
Of the DenOcratic party in picking out
MS constitutional advisers. Mr..
Cleveland was as unwilling to take ad.
vice as Mr.. Bryan would be, If presi-
dent But Mr.. Cleveland called into
his cabinet such men as Gresham,
Olney, and Carlisle. Mr.. Bryan would
not select men of equal ability and
character. Senator Lodge says: Look
over the roll Of the Kansas City con-
vention and point out to me secre-
tary OF state whom you would be will
ing to intrust with the settlement OF
these Chinese questions. Run your
eye over the list again and tell me
where, among the Altgelds and the
Suffers, you will find a secretary of the
treasury. Look at the Sioux Falls col :
lection and tell me whether you want
Pettigrew in the navy department and
Allen at the head of the war depart
ment. They have ell got to be recog-
nized. These are practical questions. I"
These are, indeed, the men whom Mr..
Bryan would choose to aid him in adj
ministering the affairs of the nation.
In the Altgelds and the Aliens he would
would recognize kindred spirits. There
is no form Of political or economic
Junacy with which he is afflicted with
which they are not afflicted also The
government, IL intrusted to men of this
stamp, would be carried on in fash
ion indicating that the people of the
United States did not have decent re-
spect to the opinions of mankind" Its
foreign policy would be shifty and
cowardly. Its domestic policy would
be turbulent and destructive. 1t GER
tainly would not dream of suppressing
anarchy in China, for it would be busy
encouraging anarchy at home.

WHAT MRS. LEASE SAYS.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, who has
probably given the Republican party
as many hard blows as any Populist in
the country, Is now devoting her at
tcntion to the Bryanites. Speaking re-
Gently OF the Kansas City convention,
she said:
1T was spectacular, hollow, noisy,
deceptive farce, begun on the anniver-
sary of the nations freedom, and it
can scarcely be credited by those re-
moved from it. A carefully planned
program of juggling with patriotic
symbols and patriotic aphorfsms for
the purpose of hoodwinking the public
was the program for the first day.
Promises of reform coming from such
representatives are like sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals.'

of Kentucky, to the enactment and en-
forcement of which Mr.. Bryan dedi-
Gated his borrowed oratory; the bull
pen horrors among the men of Idaho.
under the control of Bryan Demo-
cratic governor; the street railway
strike in st. Louis, that has kept the
city in state of war for three months
and resulted in the slaughter of In
nocent men, women and children; the
unspeakable and continued system of
plumber perpetrated by Democrats in
the great city of New York, and the
representation In this convention of
the most high-handed municipal rob-
bers and corrupt and thieving politi-
clans, indicate accurately the quantity
and quality of reform which the peo-
pie may expect from this sort of De-
mocracy.
"Their whole record and the every
act and detail of that record are black
with wrong, reeking with dishonesty
and CARRIED in treason.
"The cheap bust of Bryan sent up to
the platform and unveiled and turned
to the four points of the compass was
the most laughable exposition of the
Bryan vanity since William Jennings,
Jr., was sent out to the world holding
young fowl. That prolonged ovation
given to David Bennett Hill was a
serpent in the Bryan paradise Of De-
mocracy."

OUR EMPIRE.

Charlie Towne, too, has begun to
talk through his hat In speech at
Lincoln, Neb., the other day, he said:
"The republic is in dagger. Already
we are in the very shadow OF empire"
We are, indeed. The empire is all
around us, overhead, underfoot; 1t
stretches from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific; it embraces forty-fve states and
several territories. Old Rome at the
pinnacle of his power was a baby by
comparison. We are going on from
conquest to conquest. Last year we
took from the outside world more clear
money In trade than had been taken
during the first 10 years of the repub-
lie. We are not only an empire, but
our people are all sovereigns, every
last one Of them. Mr.. Bryan demon
strated this when he dictated a plat
form to his party and said: You ac-
cent that now or I will break up the
game" Our country has about half
the railroad trackage of the world. 1t
has only few men short of million
that work and handle those railroads
It has 5,000,0 900 farms, every one of
which is possessed by sovereign. The
same sovereign power has stretched
free schools from Maine to California
and the songs of children every day
arA'mperial in their melody, The
mis.es are giving up thousand mil
lions of dollars year The world de-
Ponds upon the southern states for
textiles, upon the northern and west
ern states for food. The shadow Of
empire is upon us sure enough But IL
Mr.. Towne thinks that because OF all
that this republic is il danger, or that
there is anyone In the republic who
would like to change the majestic pro-
gram, then he is talking through his
hat, and he must every night do PEN
ance for making such precious ass of
himself by day.

GHOSTS" AND "DEAD ISSUES"


The Manufacturers Record OF Balti-
more, the great trade paper of the
south and the chief exponent of the in
dustrial development of that section,
sends out on postal card what It
suggests as "A Platform for the Pro-
gressive South" as follows
Whereas, In the course OF American
politics the south has reached the
point where foolhardiness will mean
loss and decay, while common sense
will mean prosperity and progress;
therefore, be it.
Resolved. That the progressive south
is opposed to dead issues; that it is
not afraid of ghosts, and that it is not
looking backward.
Resolved. That the south Is opposes
to men and measures appealing to ig-
norance, passion and prejudice, that
tend to array class against class, and
that can present no more practical rea-
son for their support than the desire
and purpose of individuals to retain or
gain public Office.
Resolved, That the south favors the
politics that will encourage and pro-
tect investments within its borders,
will raise more chimneystacks Of mills
and furnaces, viii strengthen and ex-
tend railway systems, will open more
mines, will widen the markets for agri-
cultural and manufactured products
and will increase the means and oppor-
tunities for placing those products in
the markets.

FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO
STAMPEDE GERMANS
AN "ENTANGLING ALLIANCE


The Kansas City platform is en-
phatic in it's opposition to what It calls
"militarism." 1t says that "militar-
ism VIII Impose upon our peace-lov-
ing people large standing army, an
unnecessary burden Of taxation, and
constant menace to their liberties. I"
These sentiments are concurred In fully
by Mr.. Bryan, who undoubtedly will
have much to say about this subject
during the campaign.
But should Mr.. Bryan, IL elected. nut
in operation that Filipino policy which
is set forth in the platform of his party
and which he Endorses unreservedly, he
will have to resort sooner or later to
that "militarism" which the Kansas
City platform calls "the strong arm
which has ever been fatal to free in
stitutions." He will have to abandon
one OF the essential features of his
Philippine policy or ask for larger
standing army than this administra-
ton has asked for, and impose on the
people for military purposes heavier
burden of >xation than they are bear
ing now.
That policy is the establishment of
stable form Of government for the
Fflipinos-really Of two or more gov
ernments, for the Moros In the Sulu
Islands would have to be given a gov
eminent Of their own-then the gift
OF independence to the Filipino gov
eminent or governments; and, finally,
protection from outside interference.
Inasmuch as not even the most add
yanced Filipinos are able to maintain
stable government, it would be but
short time before European govern
ments were complaining, often with
good cause, of wrongs inflicted on their
subjects. They would demand redress
and would proceed to exact 1t. Then it
would be necessary for the United
States, acting as protector of the Fill
pinos, either to intervene in their af-
fairs, remodel their stable govern
ment," and force them to behave them
selves, which would need an army, or
to take up the cudgels for them and
fight in their behalf against whatever
powers are making war on them. Then
1T would, indeed, be necessary to raise
large armies and send out great fleets.

MALICE OR IGNORANCE.

Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, late
vice presidential candidate and author
lied representative OF the Bryanites in
the Puget sound region, is the first to
break loose from the tentative policy
of the Democratic leaders and openly
attempt to manufacture political CAPT
tai out of the present lamentable state
of affairs in China. Mr.. Lewis says:
II charge the Chinese outrages upon
Americans directly upon the head Of
the Republican administration. 1t Is
the direct result of the announcement
made by this government, through its
different spokesman, that the United
States intended to enter into. the di-
vision of China, participating in its
distribution, and maintain spheres of
influence"
1t will be observed that in order to
make his point the Washington politi-
clan has had to indulge In what would
seem to be nothing less than deliberate
Misrepresentation
AS to the administration itself, we
have had numerous direct disavowals
of any intent to take part in or encour-
age the dismemberment OF China. Es-
pecial pains have been taken to give
all foreign nations interested in China
to understand that all the moral force
Of the United States would be thrown
against any such movement. For d.
rect representation to this effect we
have only to refer to the formal note
addressed to the powers by Secretary
Hay less than fortnight ago, plainly
setting forth the attitude to be assum-
ed by this country in regard to the flu
ture OF China. The most significant
paragraph in this communication was
as follows:
"The policy OF the government is to
seek a solution which may bring about
permanent safety and peace to China
and preserve Chinese territorial and
administrative entity, protect all
rights guaranteed friendly powers by
treaty and international law, the safe
guard for the world principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts o.
the Chinese empire"
