Out of twenty-five editors who were interview
ed, but two had any defense TO make or apology
to offer for the mistakes of the administration
in the Philippines or other possessions. Many
of these editors supported Mckinley in 1890.
Almost invariably, the editors said the Germans
in their localities are strongly opposed to impe-
rasm in any form, and that they will vote
and work for the election OF Bryan.

Bryan gets little encouragement
from the New York Times, demo-
cratic organ, which tells him in plain
English that he is lodging vital
issues in his campaign and threshing
old straw that will yield him not
one bit of grain; that there is
nothing definite or substantial in
what he proposes; and that he can.
not expect the country to drop Mr..
Mckinley and elect him Bryan I'm.
less he can show that he and his
party are better than Mckinley and
his party. Mr.. Bryan is a volum-
nous talker, but it has been demon.
strated on more than one occasion
that the man who talks the most is
not always the fellow who saws the
most. Talking will not place the
Nebraska man in the presidential
chair. He must have some solid
issues on which to base his claim to
public support; he must stand for
something which the people can be-
lieve in as of genuine value to the
nation. Up to the present time he
and his party cannot boast of hav-
ing an issue that is worth anything.

1t looks somewhat as if we needed
state auditor methods to inspect our
banking business, judging from the
recent bank failure in Rutland
[Deer6eld Valley Times, Wilmington.
Even those who sometimes think
the auditor is a trihe over cautious
will admit that over.caution on the
part OF the Rutland bank officials
would have proved big thing for
that cashier, that borrower, that en-
dorser, and the depositors generally.

Senator Proctor's sentiments on
the Porto Rico question, as express
ed in his vigorous speech of recent
date are being quoted and endorsed

matter, an argument in favor of a
just principle, and involves what
majority of the people believe to be
safe republican doctrine.

The Opposition.

A sect arose and had a consider
able following, in the middle ages
whose purpose was to reverse every.
thing. France in the midst of its
revolution century ago was 'like
a person standing on his head and
thinking with his feet" 1t was a
world upside down. 1t is singular
how much of this spirit animates an
opposition in modern politics.
The majorities measures, whether
good or bad, are certain to be COM
bated. The opposition is bound to
have them tabled, or smothered in
their making. Anything to kill time
and prevent something being done.
tbs matter of history that dead
lock in the French legislature a half
century ago, weeks continued, was
made the pretext for reestablishing
absolutism. The French people were
so disguised with that kind of repre-.
sentative government that they wei.
coined the Imperialism of Napoleon
I'LL There is no special danger of
that sort of thing in the United
States; still affairs down in Kentucky
do seem to indicate that the ways of
representative government are some
times crooked.

Museum, is having two cabinets
fitted up to hold the collection o
Admiral Deweys, which is estimated
to be worth 100000 and perhaps
will be the most valuable of thai
kind there. 1t will include the large
loving cup, composed of nearly CO.,
900 ten-cent pieces; the sword pre-
sented by Congress and many relics
of the Spanish war. He and Mrs.
Dewey expect to visit Europe this
summer, hence they would feel safer
to place them under the care of the
government and near those of Cen
erals Grant, Washington and
Hancock.
1t is not thought probable that
Congress will find the time to con-
slider a reduction in the revenues at
this session, for it would prolong the
session until late in the season and it

is hoped that Congress may adjourn
by June. 1t is understood that the
President favors an early adjourn
ment.
Gen. Grosvenor, chairman of the
House Committee on Merchants
Marine and Fisheries has filed his re-
port on the amended Shipping Bill,
which is quite lengthy. He stated
that they wish ito bring our own

portation money more than $780,.
100000, which goes to other ma
tions. To bring a great American
fleet of merchant vessels, built in our
own country, with our own mater,
ials and labor as means of national

Representative Hay of Virginia of
the Military Committee, has a bill
to create reserve volunteer army
out of the militia of the several states
for use in time of war; that all citi-
zens between Is and 45 shall be liable
to do military duty and there should
be an appropriation of 100000 |
annually tor its maintenance. He
stated that July LIST, 1901, our pres
ent army will be reduced to its peace
basis of 26,610 men, and he thinks
this bill will go far to solve the ques-
ton OF national defence and fur
nish the nucleus for an army.
