MADE IN GERMANY"

element has entered into the cam
paign which calls for the attention of President
Mckinley and the Republican managers. The
efforts of the Bryanite politicians to scare the
American citizens of German birth or extrac-
ton with the bugaboo of mlitarism have not
been successful The Republicans pretty
well content that Wisconsin is safe and that
the other communities where the Germans are
strong show no drift to Organism. But the
managers have not counted on Bryanite instruc-
tons from Berlin These have now come in the
most solemn form. The "Berliner Tageblatt'
gives impressive warning:
The Germans will not regard President Nc
Kinleys answer to Count Won Biilow's note as
a proof Of friendship. We undertake to advise
President Mckinley that he cannot have the
German American vote unless he changes his
Chinese policy.
Poor President Mckinley! Unless he con-
ducts our diplomacy to suit somebody in Berlin
he cannot be reelected! His Chinese policy has
got to be changed or the German-American vote
will be against him! No doubt the election in
this country will turn on the wishes of Count
Won Btlow, and if Secretary Hay does not at
once revise his policy and obtain a letter of
recommendation from the Berlin Foreign Office
addressed to those citizens of the United States
who left Germany and gave up allegiance to
the Kaiser because they liked this country and
its Government better than the Fatherland GER
tainly this Administration is doomed to defeatl
The American people will not tolerate any
goods not even diplomatic goods, which are
not labelled Made in Germany!
1t is interesting to speculate on the storm
which would sweep over this country if some
second rate unofficial arnal of London should
with a grand oracular tone warn President
Mckinley that he could not have the vote of
naturalized natives of the United Kingdom if
he did not change his foreign policy to suit
Lord Salisbury. Just think what sort Of a
political asset MADE in England" sign would
bel Perhaps a Made in Germany legend is
different. At least it is not so handy as
target for demagogues, and possibly orders from
Berlin may Ego" here The Republicans how
ever, IN spite of this awful threat, need not be
utterly cast down. They should recall Bis
nlarcks saying that a German is no longer
German the moment he crosses the Rhine, and
be calm in the assurance that the American
citizens of German origin, even If the "Berliner
Tageblatt' is ignorant of the fact are Ameri-
cans above all things vote Americans from
an American point of view, and do not need
and will not take orders from Berlin

@ champion of the original Bryan programme
TO put his hallmark on the newer milkand-
water version prepared this year for Eastern
use. He has sat too long at the feet of John
p Altgeid master of the new Democratic school
of doctrine, TO cloak the partys real designs
behind a hollow and unconYincing pretence that
our constitutional system has succumbed to
the attacks of monarchy. What is the integ-
rity of the Constitution to statesmen like Alt
geld and Williams? Only an antiquated fetter
to their schemes of centralized administration
and State Socialism. So, despite the neces-
sity of conciliating such Democrats as might
be drawn again into the party's ranks by
suppression Of the genuine doctrines of Bryan
ism, Mr.. Williams defiantly fills his platform
with old issues as well as new, and crowns
the work with this bald assertion of State So
ciaIism pure and simple: 1--WE favor the grad
nal assumption by the people of the public
utilities now owned and operated by private
corporations in city, State and Nation"
According to Mr. Wilfams's notion the Fed
eral Government should assume control of rail-
roads canals, telegraph and telephone lines and
all the other instrumentaRtes of trade and COM
MERGE How absolutely such control conflicts
with every principle of Jeffersonian Democ-
raey, and with every theory which has under
lain our growth and progress as a nation,
needs no demonstration Yet the Massachusetts
demand for popular ownership of public utl-
ties "in city, State and Nation" is as legitimate
an outgrowth of the Bryan philosophy as any
other of the crudities and extTavagances which
the Democratic leaders have tried to hide this
wear under the skirts of a fictitious loyalty TO
an imperiIled Constitution Mr. williams may
not make votes for Bryan and Stevenson by
his disclosure of the true spirit which animates
the Democratic canvass. His honesty and
candor are to be commended, however. They
offer curious contrast to the blindness and
credulity of the worshippers of the new
Bryan" whose campaign of false pretence the
Massachusetts platform ves-consciously or
unconsciously-to illuminate.

had it not been that he was helped and carried
through by his colleague in double barrelled"
constituency And, seeing that that colleague is
a pronounced Liberal Imperialist who won the
day solely the strength of his Imperialism,
the result must be fully as humiliating to Mr.
LaboUChere as defeat would have been In
fact, as a consistent man of principle he would
probably have preferred defeat to success by
the grace of a man whose principles he abhors.
1t seems, then, safe to assume that the Sails
bury Government will receive in this election
such popular vndication as few Governments
in Great Britain have enjoyed. The people of
the United Kingdom make il plain that they
approve what has been done in South Africa and
what has been done toward uniting the mother
country and the colonies more closely in both
military and civil bonds This means that there
will be no material change in British policy for
probably five or six years. Beyond doubt the
present Government has learned some valuable
lessons and will put them into practice by radi-
cal reform of the military administration Some
changes in the personal composition Of the Cab
met also seem inevitable. But on the whole the
Government will remain in spirit and tendency
the same that it has been since 1895 and that
il is to-day.

BRITISH ELECTORAL PROSPECTS.

The polling in Great Britain has now pro-
ceeded sufficiently far to afford basis of esti-
mate of the general result of the elections. 1t
was conceded in advance all around that the
Government would win though there was
widespread feeling that it would be by a major
ity considerably less than the phenomenal and
overwhelming one of five years ago. On this
latter point expectation seems not likely to be
fulfilled. The outlook is that the Government
will again have a majority in the House of
Commons about as large that secured in
1885, while it's majority of the popular vote will
be very much larger. Down to the present time
the gains and losses of seats have been insignif-
can't But almost all along the line the Govern
ment candidates have won by increased and the
Opposition candidates by decreased majorties
In such great centres of population as London,
Manchester and Stafford the sentiment in favor
Of the Government has been overwhelming.
True, London has always been Conservative,
though never before by such majorities as this
year. But the strength of Radicalism has lain
largely in the great manufacturing towns and
cities. If now these give Unionist maiorities
the bruised reed Of the Opposition WIFI be
broken indeed.
Another noteworthy feature OF the campaign
is that the Government is winning on the issues
Of the South African war and Imperialism. Mr..
Chamberlain, the incarnation of the Govern
ment policy on those issues and the chief target
of Opposition attack. has been returned with
out contest and so has Mr. Wyndham, the rep
resentatiVe of the War Office in the House of
Commons. Mr.. Balfour, the Government leader,
who fully shares Mr.. Chamberlain's RESPONSE
bility for the war, has been reelected by an
enormously increased majority in a contested
district. So Mr.. Churchill and others strongly
identified with the war have been Handsomely
successful On the other hand, Mr. John Burns,
who distinguished himself by his bitter Oppo-
sition to the war and TO Imperialism, manages
oy the heip OF rioting to squeeze in by major
ity which, though larger by a single vote than
that Of FIVE years ago. is still meagre. AS for
Mr. Labouchere, the chief of the pro- Beers and
Little Englanders he, too, is narrowly elected.
but without doubt would have been defeated

BRoOKLYY WATER CONTRACTS.

President Grout and other men of light and
leading in Brooklyn are reported to be in favor
of making contracts at once with some private
individuals or corporations for additions to the
water supply of that borough. We do not
understand that they mean those contracts to
be permanent of long duration, but to last
only until the borough can sufficiently increase
its own supply. Even with such notifications,
however, it is not easy to see any good ground
for such action. The ostensible reason given
is, of course, the scarcity of water in Brooklyn
which has approached OminOusly near to an
actual famine. We have no inclination to try
to minimize the seriousness of the recent stu
alton But, as we have hitherto said, and as
everybody knows, that situation was caused
not by any lack of water in the region from
which Brooklyn draws it's supply. but by the neg
lect, we might say the refusal, of the city gov
eminent to provide means for impOunding the
supply and bringing it to the city.
That scandalous if not criminal neglect is
now, however, being atoned for. The city gov
eminent has provided the means for construct
ing the filtering plant and the additional con-
duits needed. Work on those improvements is
now under way and will soon be completed
When it is finished there will be no scarcity of
water from the borough's own supply. More
over in advance of the completion of those
rains that have fallen, slight though they were
have afforded some relief. The cooler weather
lessons the demand for water. The season of
rains is at hand, when it is practically certain
we shall soon have an abundant downpour In
such circumstances it is difficult to see why the
making of contracts for a supply should be ad-
vocated by men who are understood 10 be on
posed to Ramapoism. There might have been
some show of reason for making contracts
month or two ago, when there was fear of a
drouth ahead. But now that the fear of famine
is past such reason does not appear. No doubt
there is still slight scarcity of water in-some
parts Of the borough. But would it not be bet
ter, now that the worst is over, to endure that
scarcity for a few days or even a week or two
longer than to involve the city in extra expense
and set one of the most mischievOus of prece-
dents? 1t would certainly not be desirable from
any point Of view to create the impression thar
the threatened water famine in BROOKLYN had
been exploited just for the sake of making a
profitable contract with somebody. Neither
would 1t be pleasing TO the people of BROOKLYN
to find that all their privations of weeks mast
have been made mock of by the letting NJ
contract for their relief after their need is mast

MORE LIGHT ON THE NEW BRYAN

MORE LIGHT ON THE NEW BRYAN"
The supreme effort of Colonel Bryan's sec
ond Presidential canvass has been TO mask

by the Nebraska leaders campaign strategy,

and ehastened by experience and ready to dis
card. save for the sake of convention and ap-
pearaRees, the crudities and extravagances
which made his candidacy impossible four years
ago. These readily hoodwinked voters have
accepted, or tried to accept, at face value Colo
mel Bryan's pretence that the issues and prof
ects with which his triumphs in politics have
been inseparably associated have been sud
denly swept aside ''as dust in the balance by
the paramount" duty Of restoring government
70 lost republican form. For some weeks past
the creduity of Eastern converts to the "new
Organism" has been sadly tried. Forced by
the exigencies OF a losing canvass Colonel
Bryan has himself not hesitsted TO throw to
the winds the once paramount" issue of en-
pire versus republic and TO revert, on his
stuinping tours through Missouri, Kansas. Ne
braska the Dakotas and Minnesota, to the old
attacks on thrift, industry and social order
which were the keynote of his 1895 campaign.
And as If this sudden relapse on the Nebraska

trustfulness Of the most pronounced new
Bryanites fresh blow at their faith has Just
been struck in a quarter where of all others
a recrudeseence of genuine Organism was most
TO be deplored and feared.
