BREAKwArER AT SPRING POINT

BREAKWATER AT SPRING POINT.
To the Editor Of the Presses
1t is one OF the traditions of this town
that the Breakwater in our harbor was
not built where the merchants and ship
ping men wanted tat Spring Point
Ledge, off Fort Preble-but through the
influence and 1t may be said the obstina-
cy OF f. o. J. Smith, then in CONGRESS-.
1t was built on Stanford Ledge. so far in
the harbOr as to be OF little if any use.
What could have Induced a man of so
much Intelligence to 00Dose the we'll
grounded wishes OF the merchants and
build in its present location has ALWAYS
been a mystery. A glance at the mar
will show that the land on which Fort
Preble stands, projects farther to the
eastward than the end or the Breakwater
and that in a southerIy storm that drives
into the harbor, it is this headIand and
not the Breakwater that protects a Dor
ton of the lower harbOr- I say a portion
Of the lower harbor because In southerly
storms it gives no protection below the
Grand Trunk wharves. The want OF this
protection has never been felt so seriously
as now. NO vessels should be allowed to
anchor above the END OF the Breakwater
for the steamers and sailing vessels. 0o-
ing to and leaving their heTfhs above. are
SO large and long that they need all the
room for turning about If these vessels
anchor below where they should and
must, they are exposed 20 these southerAy
storms. Now you see the point is. we
must have new bTeaIzzvafeT at Snri no
Point. That would give smooth water
over the entire lower harbor. NOTHING
can ever be done in the way Of develop.

DEMOCRATS AND IMPERIALISM.

Senator Morgan of Alabama, one OF
the Democratic Senators who is mem
Der of the committee on foreign relations,
has just taken pains to let it be known
that he has little sympathy with Mr..
Bryan plan of getting out OF the Philip
pines as soon as possible. Inquired of
by the New York Herald for his opinion
as to what our future policy in China
should be, he took occasion to point out
that our ability to do splendid work
there Tin China) came from our strength
in the Philippines" and he added that
II that strength is increased, we can
maintain there an armed neutrality and
give an asylum to those entitled to our
care until the clouds pass by" This
shows that Mr.. Morgan entertains a very
different view of the value of the Philip
pines from that expressed by Mr. Bryan
in his recent speech, and Indicates that If
ever Mr.. Bryan calls Congress together
to take measures to get out OF the Philip
pines he will encounter his opposition.
And Senator Morgan will not
be the only Democratic states
man that he will have to fight The
truth is that a great deal of the Demo
cratic denunciation OF so-calIed imperial
ism is to be taken in PickWickian sense.
There is not very much sincerity In
great deal of it. Had the Republicans
abandoned the Philippines the Democrats
today would be holding up their hands in
holy horror at what they would have
st1gmatized as cowardly evasion of duty
and neglect OF opportunities for the ex-
pansion of our trade and commerce.
They would have pointed to the expan-
sion of the country under Jefferson and
jackson and contrasted it with the fail
ure of the Mckinley administration to
grasp the opportunity which a war had
put IN its way for a still further expan-
sion. The man that has preached more
expansion than anybody else of note since
the Spanish war is Boston Democratic
leader. Not only is he in favor of hold
ing on to the Philippines, but he urges
the annexation of Cuba in spite of the
pledge that Congress gave on the eve of
the war with Spain. A Democrat assent
ed to the Treaty of Paris which put the
Philippines In our possession, and subse =
quently made long argument In the
Senate in support of it. and but for the |
votes of Democratic Senators the treaty
would not have been ratified. For the |
sake OF an issue the Democratic national |
convention opposed the permanent hold
Ing Of the Philippines. But declarations
IN the Democratic platform are simply |
for campaigns purposes. That the party |
1oes not think it necessary to live up to
Them when it obtains power, was demon
5trated in the second Cleveland admins
iration, when it turned It's back on It's
'evenue-Only plank and passed tariff bill
80 far removed from what it promised, !
that its President refused to sign it and /
it as ''perfidy and d1shonor. -

1t seams from Minister Conger's de-
spatch that the Chinese mob made des-
perate attempt to brea into the legation
the night before the allies entered the
city, but luckily were repuIsed. It is
an exceedingly remarkable thing that the
The Portland daily press., 1900-08-22

The Republican campaign in Maine
opened auspiciously at a great many
different points in the state on Monday
night. The meetings were largely at
tended, and the enthusiasm was as great
as could reasonably be expected at the
beginning With little more arousing
the common complaint of general apathy
which is now heard, Will disappear.
The Portland daily press., 1900-08-22

Minister Conger says fatty that the
attacks upon the legations were made by
Chinese troops under direction of the
government. The Boxers gathered around
but they had 10 arms. This would seem
to render it impossible to treat with the
present government, even if it could be
reached. A government that has been
guilty of such treachery and barbarity as
were involved in the assaults upon the
legationers and foreign residents could
not be relied upon to carry out any
arrangement it might make with the
powers. Certainly the lives and property
OF foreigners sojourning in the empire
could not be entrusted to it. 1t looks
as if the powers would have to set up an
other government before it can obtain
any satisfactory guarantees that the lives
OF foreigners shall be safe in the future.
The Portland daily press., 1900-08-22

1t seems to be settled that the Empress
Dowager of China escaped from tPekin
before the allies entered the city, and is
now several hundred miles from the
capital. Precisely what policy the powers
intend to adopt in regard to her remains
to be seen. There Is not much doubt
that she was responsible to a large extent
for the uprising against the foreigners,
ana that she richly deserves punishment.
Nevertheless 1t may be the part of wisdom
to wink at her crimes. Certainly it will
be If an attempt to punish her would
rouse the southern part of the empire
and spread the outbreak to that quarter /;
for that would result In the sacrifice Of
the lives of hundreds OF foreigners and
precipitate conflict that might require
a hundred thousand foreign troops and
months Of time to bring to an end.
