The West Virginia Poll.

Washington Post.
The Republican poll of West Virginia.
claiming a majority of $500 for the tick
ct, has been much discussed of late about
the local headquarters. Democratic and
Republican. A very reliable Democratic
authority says that the poll was taken by
the West Virginia census enumerators.
and that the poll books were put in their
hands by the West Virginia Secretary of
State. These enumerators, however. were
not able to make a complete poll, and
their work is not looked upon as at all
reliable The West Virginia Republican
managers are now making a poll of their
own, which, 1t is expected, will be COM
pleted within two or three weeks. 1t is
the customary sixty day poll, made in all
the close States during September.
The West Virginia Democrats have been
conducting a very careful canvass of the
State concerning the attitude of Gold
Democrats, and they claim that their
search has gnerally been in vain; that
the Gold Democrats of four years ago.
almost without exception, have come back
to the party. or. in a few instances, gone
over permanently to the Republicans.
Both the organizations In the State are
regarded as nearly perfect.

West Must Rule.
n Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Nothing now appears more certain than
the pact that a policy of preservation OF
Chinese territorial integrity woVd tend
to constant reactions. What the foreign
ers gained during one period would be de-
stroyed in the next. If the empire OF Chi
ma ever advances along the road of west
ern progress, II must do so under western
leadership. This leadership Will not be
recognized as long as the Chinese occupy
the high places in the government. The
multiplication of Sir Robert Harris will
achieve nothing No matter how much
they may do for the country they will be
looked upon as servants. Western men are
needed at the very top. Once placed there
with a proper backing the Chinese will
soon learn to respect them. There is no
more reason 10 expect that they would feel
dissatisfaction under such leadership than
they do under the present Manchu inter
lopers.

Sorry She Explained.

Chicago Tribune.
The financial difficulties of Chicago are
due in good part to the fact that it has ex-
tended its Jurisdiction over too much ter
ritory, which supplies in the way OF
taxes, decidedly less than the expense of
governing it. The difference has to come
out of the revenues derived from the old
city. If Fullerton avenue had remained
the northern, Thirty-nnth street the
southern and Crawford avenue the west
ern boundary of Chicago there would be
no complaint to-day of scanty revenues.
The present rate of taxation on the val
liable property within those boundaries
would supply money enough when ex-
pended exclusively within them to keep
the streets and alleys clean and well
paved, 10 maintain bridges and other pub
lie works in good condition, and to make
improvements which are impossible now.
But for annexation the old city would
have been small, rich, clean, and COM
Portable, and better built up than it is
now, because life within its confines would
have been more agreeable.

Pennsylvania for their residence. They
carried away with them to their re-
spective homes renewed appreciation
of the foremost man in America to-day.
and an enlarged appreciation OF the
paramount issue of the campaign we
are now entering upon and which must
be fought out between the people on
the one side and the trust
interests on the other. These mult!tu-
dinous auditors of the Democratic cam
didate understand the full scope OF the
popular attack upon the adminlstra-
ton. 1t has been assaulted front, flank
and rear. It's communications have
been cut, it's plan of campaign disor-
ganized, and utter decentralization and
defeat confronts it. Not even money
can save the Republican party from
disaster this fall, and yet money will be
used, in immense sums, for improper
purposes. Victory is within the grasp
of Democracy. 1t only remains to
close up the party lines and move for
ward, steadily and persistently. We're
going TO capture the Presidency. the
House of Representatives, and perhaps
the Senate. 1t will be a general clean
ing of the Augean stables in the inter-
ests of the people.

Our Chinese Policy.


+ LOUISVILLE >Ou1lcI-JOuAkAdi-
The Hon. VIM. L. Wilson. whose opinion
carries much weight, finds all to commend
and nothing to criticise in the action of
the United States with reference to Chi
ma. This. of course is subject TO the linn
itation that the policy of the Administra-
ton is commended as far as 1t is known.
1t is always desirable that there should
be no partisanship in dealing with foreign
nations This ideal has not always been
realized. The Republicans have usually
denounced as little short of treason any
criticism of the foreign policy of any of
their Presidents. even in times of peace.
but they have been fluent and bitter crit
les of Democratic Presidents. The wars
fought by Democratic Administrations
We're strenuously opposed by the OPPOSE
ton. who went TO the verge of treason in
their resentment.
The peculiar circumstances of the Chi
nese case have left the Government of
the United States little room for choice as
TO its action, except in the advocacy Of
the open door" and opposition to dismem-
berment of the empire. These commend
themselves to the general public opinion
of the country The only fear is that the
Administration may in future reverse it
self, as 1t has done several times in other
matters.
The country would, of course. like to get
out of this Chinese business as soon as
possible, consistently with honor and du-
ty. Unfortunately. the prospects are not
very favorable to an early settlement of
the dispute, but the influence of the United
States has apparently contributed to that
end

THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.

It is quite in keeping with the trend
of public sentiment that the Vermont
election should show Republican losses
and Democratic gains. That is the way
the people are drifting, and the election
in Maine, next week, will emphasize the
tendency, beyond a doubt. When such
hide-bound Republican States as Yer
mont, which never gave Democratic
majority in all its history, shows a net
Democratic gain of nine Fer cent. a
Republican loss Of fifteen per cent. and
a large Democratic gain in the lower
house of the Legislature the Democracy
having carried towns never before any,
thing but Republican, ii indicates some
thing. That Maine viii fall into line is
beyond a doubt. and wnan she Goes
what may We expect when we get down
&c the real business Of the campaign,
and the returns come in from such
States as New York, Ohio, indiana. IL
liIois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the rest of them?
The situation is very satisfactory II
only needs strong pull on the part of
the people, and the imperialistic and
trust-protecting regime will come TO a
summary end.

THEN. AND NOW.

The Republican Campaign Text BOOK
for 1892 (pages 157 and 1881, gives the
following as the position of the Repub-
Hcan party at that time on the question
of bimetallism:
"Nine-tenths of the people are BIZ
metallists They want both money
metals used, because they believe botn
are needed, to sustain the worlds COM
merce. The Republican party honest
" and intelligently answers their
wishes. President Harrison is bimet-
alllst, as his official papers and speeches.
show. The Republican platform de-
clares for bimetallism and in that re-
speot faithfully represents the course
of the party. The Republican
policy seeks broader monetary basis.
The worlds commerce expands so rap
idly-the volume OF paper currency and
of various credit substitutes for money,
which must be supported by the specie
basis, has become SO vaSt-Uhat
scarcely. any can be found to deny that
commerce and industry would be safer
if the entire stock of $3,711 ,S45, 900 gold
and S3,939, ST. 600 silver in the world
(see estimate of Director of the Mint
Leech,. Table Al, could be freely en-
ployed as a foundation, instead of only
a part of that amount. AS matters
stand in the great commercial nations
of the world, the credit system and the
commercial exchanges now rest upon
the stock of gold as the only basis. A
bimetallic system would render the
commerce and industry of these nations
safer and more healthy. Serious losses
and great risks are incurred through
the constant disturbance of exchanges
between gold-using and silver-uslng
countries Even in Great Britain,
where gold monometallism is worship
ped as ii is nowhere else. the greatest
statesmen and the most powerful
boards of trade are at their wits end
to, discover some way Of escaping the
frightful losses in commerce with the
East which have this very year in
volved great banks and firms in ruin. :"
The money plank of the Republican
party adopted at Philadelphia June 81,
1900, states:
1--WE declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. We renew our allegiance to the
principles of the gold standard"

Lessons in Liberty.

New Orleans Picayune.
Once, near the beginning of the recon-
struction era, a convention, assembled I'M
der Republican auspices was in session in
New Orleans, and some one having ad-
dressed the chair in terms that were per-
haps, not altogether respectful, an indig-
nant delegate sprang to his feet, exclaim-
ing: Mr.. President, send him to jail!
Send him to Jail, sir, and learn him that
he lives in a land of liberty" That little
incident has often been recounted since
that happily bygone time to merry groups
in this city; but Mr.. McKinley's plan to
convert the Philippines into "land of
liberty" recalls 1t once more irresistibly
to mind. There is no war there, but. with
an army numbering somewhere between
10000 and $1,000 the commanding general
declares that he has not a man to spare.

ing his duty, how can they now say that
he can refuse or neglect to discharge
that duty without doing violence to
the law? This they do not explain.
II the law is so framed that Secre-
tary of the Treasury may defeat its
declared purpose without violating its
provisions, the fault is theirs, of course,
for they framed the law themselves.
How can they have the face to stand
UP and say, as they do in effect, that
their boosted law was all a sham and
a fraud, making grand pretense OF
establishing the gold standard SO that
nothing short of legislation by Con-
gress could shake it, but in reality do
ing nothing of the kind?
And how can they, after such dis
honest performance, now have the face
to pose as the only friends of the gold
standard and the only ones who can
be trusted to construe and execute the
law in such wise as to maintain that
standard?
Nobody can tell what to expect OF
politicians who play such dlsnonest
FRANKS and then make confession OF
their dishonesty the basis of claim TO
further confidence.
By their own admission-an admis-
sion made with pride rather than shame
they are no more to be trusted 10
maintain the gold standard in an emer-
gency than so many wild-eyed fiatists.
That expresses the situation very
well. For the sake of success and the
"perpetuation" of the Mckinley admin
istration, the Republican party would
throw over it's boosted gold standard IN
a minute, and come out fatty for Dl-
metallism or anything else heretofore
advocated and then abandoned. Mod
ern Republicanism is as shifty as the
Sultan of Turkey and as treacherous
as the Chinese, 1t stands for power, ana
not for the people. 1t is thing to be
worked against, and voted against, ana
East out as unworthy of the confidence
of the American people. Secretary
Gage is simply type of the admins
tration, and one of it's willing tools.

Overworked Railroad Employees.

Philadelphia Ledger
On Thursday a freight bakeman of the

without sleep, after tagging a train fol-
lowing the one on which he was employed.
instantly fell asleep on the track and was
run over and killed. The railroad Off
cials, who extracted 100 hours Of labor
without rest. from thisemployes were
atrociously at fault and are morally re-
sponsible for the loss of a human life.

of faithful railroad employees shock the
