with a Different Spirit.

The Republican party of this state
goes into the campaign this year with
decidedly different spirit from that OF
four years ago. The contrast Is almost
as great as that found In the material
condition OF the people of the state.
Four years ago. the party. while II put
up brave front, was disheartened and
discouraged by the daily report OF defec-
lions OF men long high in the councils
OF the party and the recipients OF many
honors at its hands. II felt that II was
not In touch with the people. The long
continued depression, the apparent
hopelessness OF any return to good
times had left the great majority OF the
people ready 10 welcome any proposed
legislative panacea which promised re-
lief from the prevailing intolerahie CON
ditiona
that they opened their ears TO the horde
OF free silver propagandlsts vino held
forth on every street corner. aud that
Organism made converts every day.
The people were not In a condition 70
reason. They could only feel They
wanted work; they needed food for
themselves and their families. The free
sllverites insisted that the depression
was caused by The characterization Of
silver. and tina, no RELIEF from II could
he expected until free silver was rrstor-
ed. The change proposed apparently Of
fered relief. few were qualified 20 thor

Rogers Rejected.

Evidences that the denomination of
1t is accomplished will not be tolerated
by the voters of Washington are ac-
cumulating daily. A heavy blow is
dealt to the fusion cause by the state
ment of Judge De Mattos, which is
given this morning in a special dis
patch from whatcom to the Post-In-
telligencer. Judge De Mattos strikes
from the shoulder. and his blows are
crushing.
He announces plainly that he will sup
port Senator Frink, and that his vote
and his influence will be thrown against
Rogers. No one can accuse him of lack
of frankness or want OF .plainness
of speech. First of all. he will
have none OF the anti-Americanism
of the Democratic party. and is ineffa-
bly, disguised with the summersault
that Rogers has turned in order to get
into the Bryan band. The aptness OF
"a small man in great things and
great man in small things" could not
be exceeded; and the instances with
which he puts 1t to the proof are, to
say the least, interesting. The prac-
tees Of the executive in the conduct OF
his office. and especially the proceed
ings at the late fusion convention. are
treated in plain and vigorous English.
The position of Judge De Mattos Is
honorable to himself. and will be all
the more gratifying to the people from
his prominence in political movements
in this state. He was four terms mayor
Of Whatcom; was Silver Republican
representative in the legislature Of 1897;
was chairman OF tho state convention
OF that party in 1898, and went as a
delegate to its national convention at
Kansas City this year Finally. he was
a delegate to the late fusion conven-
ton In this city. and that was the nm
ishing stroke He has done with Rog-
ers and with fusion. This instance is
an obvious proof of the dlslntegration
OF the fusion forces in Washington. Men
of character, of honesty. of patriotism,
OF devotion to American principles are
leaving 1t in wrath and disgust. The
Republican party offers to them
hearty welcome.

Fault has been found with the state
OF Ohio from time to time, but there
has never been anything in the form Of
criticism quite so severe as set Of
resolutions adopted at public meeting
in Texas to protest against the unciv-
ilized conduct OF "our sister state Of
Ohio" and to admonish her citizens In
Akron OF "the pernicious example thus
displayed in setting the laws of the
land at defiance in this age Of civiliza-
ton and land OF Christianity"

higher and larger duty is TO modern CIV
ilization. 1t Is on its claim to represent
higher order that it has entered China.
1t is itself on trial. II 1t shows itself In
different to such acts as belong to the
wars Of feudal times, or unable to pre-
vent them, then IL Is self-condemned.
The American people have reason to
be proud that their citizen soldiery are
conquered people; that the discipline is
too good to permit 1t, and that the men
would scorn such crime even If they
were held with a looser rein. But loot
ing In China should be put down with
an memorable hand as far as 1t is prac-
ticed by troops OF any of the nations
present there. If II existed and II it
continued. 1t would afford a reason and
constitute necessity for the Withdraw
al from military cooperation by other
forces. The world has not sent armies
to China on predatory mission, 1t

cation with another. Besides its punt
tive power, 1t should set an example: 1t
should create in the Chinese an envy
Of the people and the systems OF which
they have heard so much. and strike a
blow at their insensiblty to the COM
mon rights Of humanity. 1t must do

Of $500 has been subscribed to the Dewey

rate of less than $1,000 a year. and as

The New York Evening Post Is not al
ways correct. but it seems to have
struck IT right when 1t says 1.-THE certain
loss Of one electoral vote in California
and four in Washington. the possible
loss Of three in Wyoming and the pos
sibility that Nevada's three may go for
Mckinley, will require the gain by
Bryan OF more states east of the Rock

many more he win need in order to

A Historical Episode.

One OF the most conspicuous instances
which ever occurred in the history of
this country Of war of conquest, of
Imperialism. militarism, and govern
ment without the consent OF the gov
erned. was during the war with Mex
leo, but singularly enough no Demo-
cratic speakers are heard to allude to
1t. 1t may be remarked in passing,
that the New England "aunties'' are
at least consistent in their attitude
ON this question. for they are In great
part men. or the descendants and in
heritors of the prejudices of men, who
opposed the annexation of Texas and
the war with Mexico and the conse-
quences which flowed from that war.
The present Democratic opponents Of
expansion are the historical descend
ants of the men who were responsible
for the first expansions Of American
territory. for the war of conquest which
was waged against Mexico. and for the
manner in which the American system
Of government was imposed upon the
people OF the conquered territory, de-
spite their opposition. against their
consent, and by military force. not by
operation Of laws administered by the
civil authorities.
During the Mexican war. force OF
volunteers. enrolled In Missouri. invad-
ed what Is now New Mexico, then a
Mexican province. They met with but
small opposition. and formally pro-
ceeded. without any warrant OF law,
save possibly the instructions OF the
Democratic president OF the United
states. TO annex the captured territory.
which they proclaimed 10 be part OF
the United states. Gen, Prics, in COM
niand OF the Missouri troops. under
took TO set up provisional govern
ment In the captured territory. and sn-
stalled a military governor. After
portion OF the American troops were
withdrawn. the Mexican inhabitants
rose IN arms. deposed the American
government" and restored the for
mer Mexican officials. Troops were
again sent into the province. the upris-
ing pat down: and the leaders were
tried by military court-martiai con-
demned and executed for treason
against the United states" All OF this
occurred While the war with Mexico
was sim Eoing on, before any treaty
had been signed by which Mexico had
ceded the territory 10 the United
States. and while the sole title or pre-.
tsnee Of title which the United states
had 10 the province was based upon its
conquest by American troops. acting
