There is a bit of news that comes
from Manila that must be extremely
disquieting to those Democrats who
build their hopes on anti-imperialism.
1t is that many paroled rebel ex-officers
are agitating for the formation of ma
tive regiments for service with the
Americans In China. They claim they
will be able TO raise 10000 men accus-
toned to arms for this purpose, and as
for the soldier-like qualities of the
Filipinos, they point out the famous
Seyenty-thlrd Regiment, composed of
natives, which served under Spain. Such
base ingratitude to the Democratic
party is without parallel.

CONSISTENCY

The Delaware Pilot charges the
Evening Journal with inconsistency. It
says;
In the same issue in which It coun-
sells the Gold Democrats to vote for
Mckinley in order to defeat Bryan and
Free Silver. It repudiates the sugges-
tion OF the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph that the Republicans combine
with Democrats to defeat Addicks. II
Addiclxs and Addicksism 10 the Even
ing Journal is as Objectionable and
equally destructive to good government
as Bryan and Organism, why would
not the medicine prescribed for the one
be equally as good for the other?
Yes, the Evening Journal counsels
Sound Money Democrats to vote for
Mr.. Mckinley because they believe in
Sound Money and he represents that
political principle They believe that
Bryan and Organism represent things
which are inimical to the nations in
terests In the opinion OF the Evening
Journal, in the asence OF a third ticket.
they must, to be consistent, vote for
Mr. Mckinley or remain away from
the polls.
The Evening Journal repudiates the
suggestion Of the Philadelphia Daily
Evening Telegraph that the Republi-
cans defeat Addlcks by voting the
Democratic ticket for several reasons.
While Mr. Mckinley represents a ma
tional principle endorsed by Sound
Money Democrats. the Democrats rep
resent no principal, national or local,
which is endorsed by Republicans, who
have their own party organization and
principles to sustain. while they fight
Addicks from principle they also fighl
Democracy from principle. They can
consistently have nothing to do with
the one or the other They will have
their own platform and candidates and
they will vote for them. A combina.
tion with the Democrats would be as
unrepublican as a combination will
Addicks. The Republicans must stand
for Republican principles and vote foi
Republican candidates. BY so doing
they will defeat both Bryan and Ad
dicks in Delaware and do the natior
and state an excellent service.

columns:

Wheat harvest Is now in progress.
The crop is the most satisfactory that
has been harvested by our farmers for
years.
The corn crop throughout the coun-
try is looking fine.
Work is rushing at the railway. They
have a vessel on the ways which they
are repairing and we learn that sew

fREE SlLYER IHE lSSuE

With the Democracy of the East op
posed to Free Silver and the Democ
racy of the West in favor Of Free sil.
yer, the managers OF the Kansas City
Convention were In a dilemma. Al
last they hit upon what they regarded
as the happy expedient Of putting in q
plank against Imperialism to hold the
East. and a plank in favor Of Free Sll.
yer TO hold the West. Here in the
East they will endeavor to make i'm
perialism the dominant issue, while In
the West they will make a bid for the
votes Of Democrats. Silver Republi-
cans and Populists by making 16 to ]
the leading feature Of the campaign.
But they will not be permitted Ia
carry out their scheme. Already the
Sound Money Democrats in the East
are alive to the deception, and they
have joined with the Republicans in
sending imperialism to the rear and
bringing Free Silver to the front. Upon
that issue the battle will be fought all
along the line with disastrous results
to the advocates Of fiat money.
BY expression OF sympathy for the
Beers 1t was the design OF the Demo-
cratic managers to catch the German
vote. But the German-Americans are
thrifty people who believe in honest
money, and, when It is too late to re-
cede, the Democratic leaders find that
the Free Silver plank has nullifed the
effect OF the pro-Boer plank and that
another bid for support has gone
wrong.
Bryan and Free Silver are the issues,
and Imperialism has taken third place,
with the campaign just cleverly
opened.
