mr. Bryan in tho "Eusmy,s oouu,ry.o

Mr.. Bryan spent Tuesday in Boston,
and will deliver himself Of few
speeches in New England, which IL
veritably. to MIN, the enemy q
county" He will, it is presumed,
advocate the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of l6 to l.,
during his visit to this cold and
chilling locality.
If Mr.. Bryan will give himself up
for few minutes to the study of
recent history, he will unearth some
facts and figures the reverse Of con.
soling. He will find, for instance, that
in 1s06 he was beaten in Massachusetts,
"a State carried three times in sue
cession by that sterling Democrat,
William L. Russell-by a plurality OF
lT3. 265. True. these figures were con-
siderably reduced at the last election,
but it'was because the Democracy then
absolutely ignored the silver issue.
In the other New England States,
he pluralitiss of Mr.. Mckinley over
Mr.. Bryan in 1896 were as follows: In
Maine, 40, TIT; New Hampshire, 35, 794
Vermont, 40, 400; Connecticut, So, ,545
Rhode Island, 2l,97s. Is there any
hope that Mr.. Bryan will be able Ia
reduce any of these tremendous plu-
ralities by another battle for flee silver
coinage this year?
1t has been suggested, however, that
Mr.. Bryan's object in his tour of the
"enemy's country" is not electoral
votes at the election next November,
but delegates in his favor ut the
coming National Democratic Con,
vention. How appropriate it would
be for him to obtain the Democratic
nomination for President by the votes
Of these overwhelmingly Republican
States, with the vote of PENNSYLVANIA
and its Republican majority Of any.
where from 100000 to 100000, thrown
in for good measure.
Would it not be better for Mr.. Bryan
to cater, if cater he must, to States like
New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, West Virginia and Indiana
All OF them are Democratic on straight
Democratic issues, but not on the issue
Of the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 16 to /. And nc
Democrat can be elected President OF
the United States without the electoral
votes of these States.
These are points that Mr.. Bryan

whore the p,moora,,o Party !. united.

Wbore the Democratic Party Ia United.
The Delaware Democrat of George
town, taking tho visit Of Mr.. Bryan TO
Delaware as text, says that while the
want Of harmony in the Democratic
party upon the silver question is too
we'll known tc be disputed, upon other
important issues the party is united.
For this reason it feels confident that
il the contest of the present year were
fought upon those issues upon which
the party is united, it would result in
victory.
Few will dissent from this practical
view OF the situation, or question the
Delaware Democrats assertion that 1t
is not wise fer a PARTY to be confined
to one Issue. "a rarty that has but a
single plank in its platform, II says,
lis not in healthy condition and can
never succeed" And it adds:
The members of party are always
at odds upon some portions of the plat
form, not agreeing as to which is of the
most Importance and should be urged
the most strongly. Compromise is the
key to harmony and that will bring
success. Now more than ever is 1t
necessary that the disagreement CT the
Democrats should for the time be over
looked il not forgotten. We all know
what Republican victory would mean
to us of this State. The methods en-
ployed by them in attempting to gain
power and the manner in which they
abuse power when placed in their hands

ger to be feared from their success.
There is only one way to prevent this
| great calamity from Detailing us. That
is to present an unbroken front to the
enemy at all times and in all places, tc
members of the PARTY and to let no dis.
organizing influences OF any kind enter
into our counsels.
This is sound and practical advice,
and it should commend itself to party
leaders throughout the State. II is
clear that divided Democracy cannot
win in Delaware, and will not even be
in position to take advantage of a con,
tinued warfare of the Republican fac
tions But once united, and the Demo
cratic party will succeed in Delaware,
even with the Republican faction.
united in support of common ticket.
This is the end that Democratic
leaders should endeavcr to attain. Blu
they cannot do SO by committing th,
party to one issue, and that issue so OBJ
noxious as to make it impossible fol
the party to unite upon 1t.

The FalIscy of "Hsnevolcnt Assimilation"
The organs of expansion and militar-
ism have everything fixed, in their own
minds, as to how things should be run
in the Philippine Islands. They know,
better than the people themselves, Just
what should be done for tho comfort,
happiness and prosperity of the people
of those islands.
A specimen Of their fallacious reason
ing is found in tho editorial columns of
the Morning News. American control
Of the islands, it complacently re.
marks, "will be sure to establish peace
and prosperity" How nonsensical,
when 1T is a fact that peace, and prob.
ably prosperity, prevails everywhere
throughout the islands, except where
the devastating effects Of the military
forces OF the United States prevail.
"And the masses OF the people there, !"
it adds in this vein, will eventually
be so educated as to come under the
head of civilized rnce!' How assur.
ing. Is it not fact that civilization
has prevailed there for years, with
churches and educated people. And is
it not fact that the brains and intelli-
gence and patriotism Of the people are
directing their fight for Independence,
as has been the case for three centuriesg
:" 1t is clearly the duty of the United
States," we are further informed, to set
about establishing government, "it
matters not what its character may be. -
Certainly not; any old thing will do,
from the imperialist point of view.
"And in time take up the work of re-
building" In time, forsooth; of course,
when 1t suits the convenience of the
imperialists, and not before, as is now
the case with the suffering people Of
Porto Rico.
For hundreds of years Spanish dom.
ination in the Philippine Isauds kert
the people where they were found. -
continues this profound impsrialist
oracle. And what more is the DONNA
tion of the United States doing for
them? 1t Is, so far as the path lotto
people Of LuZon are concerned, destroy
ing their homes and property, killing
their brave soldiers, and doing every
thing possible to stifle their patriotic
impulses. 1t rudely refuses their re.
quests-made in calm, enlightened,
intelligent and patriotic msnner--for a
conference, aud arbitrarily says that
until they cease to struggle for libei ty
they shall be treated as insurgents and
pursued with all the relentless cruelty
Of modern war. In the domain of the
Sultan Of Sulu, it: makes treaty by
which human slavery is recognized rs
an established institution, and polygamy
encouraged BY the guarantee Of annual
payments in support of the Sultan's
harein.t
What a policy to be pursued by a
government like that of this country,
which was inspired by patriotism, and
established by righteous revolution.

The Addicks Republicans are getting

The Addicks Republicans are getting
more and more scared over the prospect
of the certain rejection, by the Regular
Republicans, of the turkey -buzzard''
harmony propositions. The Milford
Chronicle, rabid Addicks organ, claims
TO have information that the rropo-
sitions have already been informally re-
jected, and il lugs the railroad question
into the contention. The anti -Addicks
scheme, it asserts, is to combine and
elect two railroad Senators, one a
Democrat and one a Regular Republi-
can. And then it proceeds to make dire
threats of what the Union Republicans
will do il the fight assumes this phase.
We'll, we think the people will be able
to defeat Addicksism as completely
when it gets into threatening mood
as when it is in wheedling mood, il
not little more so.
