CURRENT POLITICAL POINTERS.
Plutocracy and Imperialism.

Tine Kansas City platform fully rec
ognizes the fact that the battle of the
people of 1900 is TO be fought on lines
different from those which divided the
parties in 1896. The world has moved
in these past four years. The republic
which was founded on the right of in
dependence and self-government has
been shaken to it's very base by the re-
pudiation of this great principle by the
Republican Administration. Militar-
ism has raised its threatening head.
The supremacy of the Constitution has
been denied by the Republican major
ity in Congress against the warning
protest of some of the most steadfast of
its own party members. The trusts
which dictated the schedules of the Re-
publican tariff having grown fat and
multiplied under the fostering care,
reach up to control the executive as
we'll as the legislative branch of the
government The Republic is in peril.
Shall it be rescued or shall it be thrust
forward toward the abyss in which lie
the wrecks of earlier republics of his
tory.
This is the great, the vital issue of
the coming election. 1t is the issue,
evaded by the Republican party which
the Democracy at Kansas City presents
to the people. And we believe that
this platform, virile and strong in con-
trast with the namby-pamby resolu-
tions put forth at Philadelphia, will
appeal no the patriotism not only of the
Democrats, but of many Republicans
as well.-Boston Post.

Edward L. Corser of Minneapolis, and
F. w. Cooken, George L. Paddock. The
gentlemen will support Bryan for
President, because they believe that
they can thereby defeat Imperialism.
Thousands of others who do not agree
with all of Mr.. Bryan's views will sup

work in Philadelphia for the better

The latest venture of its managers has
been Ito open at Atlantic City a free

daily and weekly papers of the country
are kept on file for the benefit of the
visitors Ito that famous resort. The

in the equipment of this reading room,

Our Republican friends are siren
uously urging their following, es-
pecially the dark contingent, to get
registered on the first day of registra-
tion. We opine that their strength
may be the more accurately counted.
There's nothing wrong with this ad-
vice, but it is hoped that there will
be no more sowing of registration fees
on the highways, as there was two
years ago in this county, as prelim-
mary TO the registration act.

support to the President in chastising
Spain for blowing up Americans in the
harbor of Havana
1t is a lamentable blunder to play
politics with the Chinese terror, and it
is to be hoped that President Mckinley
will see how marrow and petty is the
motive of his advisers, send them to
the rear, rise above considerations of
campaign expediency and remember
and that he is something greater shan
a candidate for office.

as TO EXTRA SESSION.


The Philadelphia North American,
a Republican newspaper, in discussing
the Presidents determination not 10
convene Congress at this time, says
The President and a part of his Cab
met, including the military experts
who have charge of postal and financial
A1alrs, have determined that an extra
session of Congress is not required TO
deal with the war in China, and that
tney can handle the situation and di-
wisdom and discretion superior to that
of the representatives OF the American
people
Tney are afraid Congress does not
possess sufficient Intelligence to avoid
placing the government in a ridiculous
position before the world and that it
would get excited and do something
rash. Therefore they will manage the
war, under the pretense THAT there is
no war, so long as men, money and
munitions last, and will call Congress
only when they need further supplies.
The assumption that Congress would
play the fool and declare war against
China in a gust of passion before ac-
quiring definite knowledge of the at
titude of the Chinese governmental
there is any Chinese governments
"a gratitious reflection upon the ca
pacity of the American people to gov
ern themselves and upon the wisdom
of the trainers of the Constitution, who
specifically reserved to Congress the
authority to determine the course of
whith which the country is now con-
fronted. The authority given 10 the
President to act in an emergency, when
Congress is not in session, has been eX-
ercised wisely in ordering troops to
China, but reasonably interpreted it
does not justify deliberate refusal to
call Congress together and continued
exercise of extraordinary power under
the plea that Congress cannot be trust
ed to exercise it's own legitimate
functions.
The real reason for the refusal to
call an extra session is not publicly
stated. 1t is political and narrowly
partisan. The campaign managers
have pointed out that so many Repub-
licans are absent that it would be i'm
possible TO assemble a Congress in
which the Republicans would be in the
majority, and it is assumed that the
Democrats would not support the
policy OF the Administration.
Such an assumption is anything but
fiattering to the patriotism and Ameri-
canism of Democrats, and we do not
believe it is justifable. If it is true that
the holding of Democratic doctrines
and affiliation with the Democratic
party unfit man for the exercise of
the rights of American citizenship and
make him incapable of patriotic action
in the broadest sense; if Democrat is
necessarily a. craven scoundrel who
cannot be trusted to assist in protect
ing his country or his fellow-citizens
from barbarian aggression, let us be
frankly consistent and disfranchise all
Democrats and purge Congress of the
traitors. If Democrats in Congress
cannot be trusted to uphold the Ad-
ministration in vigorous measures to
punish the Chinese for numbering
Americans in Pekin, they have changed
lamentably since they gave their hearty

Again we are led to observe that
there is one salient point upon which
Uhe Union and Regular Republicans
agree, j. e., that it is their bounden duty
as purveyors of Republican principles
in the State of Delaware to assail, on
all occasions and every occasion, the
Democrat who is at present Chair
man of the Democratic State Central
Committee. The Union Republican is
the last to enter the lists. but the editor
makes up for lost opportunity by de-
voting as he did in his last issue nearly
his entire editorial page to discussing
this gentleman. 1t has been we'll said
of the Delaware Republican organs,
whom the fear they endeavor to
malign, and if this be true, the Repub-
licans of this State must have indeed
a dread of the prowess of the Demo-
cratic Committees Chairman.
The Delawarean., 1900-07-25

publican Campaign Committee has at
last awakened. To counteract the de-
trimental influence to their party and
its interests which they were sure TO
have, is now the task which they have
undertaken. And it is the manner in
which they are endeavoring to do this;
which is just now drawing public at
tention to them. Dispatches from
Washington tell us that they have
suborned for this purpose the National
Bureau of Education and the Postal
Department Having all the depart
ments of government under their con-
troll with plant tools in each this is
easily done. Though this fact of itself
is high handed and unwarranted, it is
after all the class of literature they are
disseminating which has given birth
to a public indignation that promises
III for their cause. Upon the best of
authority it is stated that the govern
ment employees of the folding depart
ment of the National Bureau of Educa-
tion are busy now daily in mailing
thousands of copies of pamphlets
printed in London, England, giving the
British side OF the war in South Africa
and filed with denunciations of the
Beers. These pamphlets were printed
under the direction of THE Imperial
South African Association of London, -
and at the request of the Republican
National Campaign Committee of this
country We're shipped here by the ton
for distribution as above stated, the
Committee and the Administration
guaranteeing that the machinery of the
government should be used in the
work.
1t may be that the title Imperial
which this London Association boasts,
appealed strongly to this Administra-
tion of ours, and made the members
fell it was near akin ITO their own
sentiments of imperialism. However
this may be, it is plain that this last
effort of Mckinley, Hanna & Co., adds
but another act to their comedy of
blunders, and that the effect will be of
the boomerang order.
Verify, whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad. Imperialistic
idiocy seems TO be epidemic in Admin
istration circles.

The rapidly with which authentic
news from China hatly contradicts
itself if bewildering. A week ago all
Christendom was thrilled with the hor-
rible details of the awful massacre of
foreign ministers, legations and mis-
stonaries. Eye witnesses told with
narrowing minuteness of scenes that
savored of the inferno, of humanity
tortured to the very acme Of dabolism,
and of bowling fiends wallowing in the
blood of their victims This week the
dispatches from the same, or just as
authentic source, blot out this picture
entirely, and in its place we are told
that ministers, legations and mission
aries are safe and sound, though
threatened with disaster unless aid
speedily comes to them. The fact may
be accepted as we suggested a few
weeks ago the true condition of affairs
will not be known until the veil
which yet hides Peking from the eyes
of Christendom is lifted.
