the United States. Every attempt OF the
minority to override the will of the ma
ioritv brings trouble, more or less serl-
Gus, in some cases amounting to revolu'
tion.
When either the Republican or Demo.
cratic party is successful at the polls, all
law abiding citizens OF the State or nation
acquiesce in the decision OF the people,
and the party is permitted to assume the
responsibility which has been placed
upon it by majority of the people. Any
thing else would mean chaos and con-
fusion.
This rule holds good in the matter OF
parties as well as of the whole people. II
minority of a party seeks to contend
the will of the majority, then the party
| is divided, and parties become useless as
the exponents of principle or policy.
Great reforms in our national life have
been brought about through the agency
OF parties. All men in party do not
think alike, and it is necessary that the
opinion Of the maj )ritv shall govern,
and that the minority shall agree, or i
not satisfied with that decision shall
separate themselves flom the party, and
not pretend to be part OF an organlza-
tion they are seeking to destroy, Inc
case Of Senator Quay has been an attempt
npon the part OF minority Of the party
to nulllfy the will Of the majority. That
, minority Of the Republican membership
, Of the Legislature was 50 small that it
, could do nothing OF itself, and was sue.
j cessful only when united with the Dem.
ocratic members OF that Legislature, all
OF whom were sworn enemies OF the
principles and doctrines OF the Republic
can party. Their action upon that occa'
sion has left Pennsylvania but hall rep

OUR FOREIGN POSSESSIONS.

From the Middletown Transcript
To use evsry occasion to prejudice the
political mind is the evident stock in
trade Of some partisan newspapers, and
OF not a few politicians. That the politl,,
cal sympathy given the Fllipinos and
the Cubans by the partisan opponents
OF the government-the party in power
has prolonged the wars and cost valn-
able lives and much money is true Yet
a comparison of the South African War

WANT BRYAN's POSITION.
Texas POpuiists Are Making an Effort
to Commit Him.


Dallas, Tex. Jan. 30-Hon. Milton Park.
editor OF the Southern Mercury, and chair
man of the National Committee of the
middle-of-the-road Populists, to-day wired
w. J. Bryan, requesting a statement in
regard to his political position.
1t is said that parties claiming to repre-
sent Nebraska Populists are in the state
submitting propositions 10 the Texas Pop
uhsts, who are now holding district con-
Ventons to nominate delegates to the Ma
tional Convention Mr.. Parks message
is as follows:
Dallas. Tex. Jan. 80 190O.-Hon. w. 7.
Byran, Providence r. l.: Parties claim,
ing to represent Nebraska Populsts are
submitting Southern Populists this prop
ostion:
First. Populist National Convention
to meet thirty days before Democrats, re-
lndorse Omaha platform and make direct
legislation leading issue
Second, nominate you for President and
a Populist for Vice President.
Third, you to then and there accept
the nomination on that platform
Fourth, if the Democrats fail to ratify
this ticket, you to remain the Populist
candidate throughout the campaign.
rs This proposition made by your au-
thoTity and will you agree to abide by it?
Answer by wire at my expense"
Up to a late hour tonight no reply had
been received.

that, and that will by no means he ALI Of
the expense. on the contrary It will prob
ably be as much more But taking it at
$lVo'oOoo00' the cost annually to the peo-
pie Of Georgia will be more than 5000. =
600
But 1t is said that all of those evils
Will be compensated for in the fact that
the possession OF the Philippines will open
and secure for us the trade of the Orient
II there ever was a proposition absolute
~ without argument to sustain IT, 1t is
this one. If there could have ever been
any argument upon which 1t could rest
1t has been entirely removed by the agree
ment which has been made by all of the
European governments that for us the
open door shall remain in China and that
we snail have equal privileges with all
other nations of our commerce there
What more than this could we get IL we
owned every Pacific Island and harbor on
the Asiatic coast. With this agreement
now much less Of the China trade would
we get il we did not own "A single island
on the Asiatic coast. Is there any room
for argument on this proposition
And even If we did not have this open
door in China the possession of the Phil
ippines peoples by an alien race would
not secure it for us. So long as we re-
manned at peace the possession of the
Philippines would not open the door of
China for us
The statement that the Philippines are
necessary to our trade In the Orient Is
delusion and a snare set to catch the
feet of the hasty and the unwary. And
those who set the snare like all others
VINO set snares are seeking their own
selfish advantage"
Mr. Bacon concluded with a brief argli-
ment going 10 show that the retention OF
the Philippines is not essential to dem
onstrate that the United States are a
world power.
A Lively COIIoauy.
A lively colloquy occurred between Mr..
Bacon and several old senator's MIR.
Spooner inquired on what theory Mr.. Ba-
con proposed declaration by this Con-
gress that could in any way bind subse-
quent Congresses.
In reply Mr.. Bacon said his idea was
that the same declaration which the Fif-
ty-sixth Congress had made with refer
ence TO the Cubans ought to be made with
reference to the Filipinos. Congress had
the right 10 make such declaration even
If 1t we're not binding upon future con-
crosses.
In a brief statement Mr.. Teller the au-
thor of the Cuban resolution, said that
it had been a matter of sincere regret
that he had not Incorporated in the reso-
lutions the people of all Spanish posses
sions acquired by the United States in
addition to the Cubans. He believed, how
ever that the United States stood before
the world committed to the self-govern-
meut Of the Filipinos-that is, such self
government as they were capable of. He
maintained that the pacihcation of the
islands must be the first object OF the
United States, however, the determination
of the kind of government to follow in
regular course. He regretted that this
pacification now must be made by the
sword

the ministers had a word of enlighten-
ment to offer regarding either the past or
the future, and the leaders of the oppo-
sition, while perfectly ready TO attack and
criticise the government, had no sugges-
ton to advance matters in South Africa,
nor an alternative policy to eXpound.
Mr.. Chamberlain preserved a discreet
silence, although throughout the speeches
of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and
Mr.. Bafour he displayed unusual excite.
ment, embarrassing both by frequent
comments.
Mr., Balfour's speech was a repetition Of
his rather fiippant oratons outside the
