ISSUES OF THE DAY.


\ EVERYBODY is talking about Nc
r kinley's mastery diplomacy.
IL OF course here in Washington
people have had an opportunity
to observe closely everything that is so.
ing on, and are perfectly aware that the
difficult Chinese problem has been
handled by the President in most skill.
full manner. But it is not only here that
this sort of talk is heard, for people all
over the country are evidently grattled
that our President has taken the lead in
and that he has met every problem in a
most skillful manner, and has placed
Washington in the lead in matters relat-
ing to world events. On a train the
other day, in smoking car, there was a
general discussion of the Chinese situa-
ton, when some man broke loose in
what you please about this Chinese stu
alton, and what has been done, but tell
you right now that the people that have
talked with are mighty well pleased with
the way President Mckinley has handled
the situation. He has met every shrewd
Chinese move with counterreply that has
received the approval every ght think
ing man in this country, and has started
the tongues of the diplomatic world wag-
ging about his ability in trying situation.
You can all talk as much as you please
about this man or that man, but every
body knows that Mckinley has done the
right thing, and that he is the right kind
of man to trust with any difficult situa-
ton that may come up. If there was
not another thing to his credit, the man.
ner in which he has handled this Chinese
problem ought to re-elect him to the
Presidency"
found upon inquiry that this man was
not politician at all, but plain bust
ness man, who looked at things from a
practical standpoint, and who Judged
things on their merits. Now there are a
great many men going about the country
talking in this sort of way, and they
are not doing it as politicians, but as
American citizens, with pride in their
country. One good thing about it is that
such statements as these cannot be de-
MED. There were two or three Demo-
Gratis in the party, and they could not
gainsay a single utterance that the gen
tleman made regarding the splendid
achievements Of the Mckinley admins
tration in this dealing with the Chinese
problem.

that the troops are there. awaiting the

very few persons. no one wants Congress
in session. More than chat. the satistlr-
tirp with which every act of the Presi-
dent is viewed +, a guarantee that he has
taken the riqht course, and that his posi-
ton will he endorsed. This talk about
getting Congress in session in order to
raise an army is one OF the most absurd
propositions that the Democrats have
advanced. Ii would take months to
raise a volunteer army after it was
authorized By Congress, and everything
so far has shown that the raising Of such
an army is absolutely unnecessary. One
Of the brightes, pages in the history Of
this administration will be the manner

shifted his position in order to catch
what he thought was popular wave.

Everybody knows that Bryan forced
10 to l in the Democratic platform. 1t
was by threatening to refuse the nomi-
nation unless it was specifically declared,
After the committee on resolutions had,
by narrow margin, inserted 10 to I,
there was threat that minority report
would be made, and the silver issue
would be fought out on the floor of the
convention. 1t was known that two
thirds of the convention did not want
IS to mentioned, and there was some
fear that it might be voted out. In order
to avoid fight in the convention the
IS to I men on the committee of resolu-
tons allowed the opponents to draft the
plank making imperialism" the para
mount ISSUE and that was the way it
came to be the leading feature of the
platform as reported. The delegates
who were disappointed in again having
to face IS to I took advantage of that
declaration to make violent demonstra-
ton which seemed to give it prime inn
portance at the Kansas City gathering.
1t was their effort to smother the silver
question and to exhibit their antipathy
to having 10 TO thrust upon them that
they made so much of the paramount
issue"

i is gratifying to the party in

There was reason to apprehend that if

Now Bryan takes this more seriously
than was warranted by the facts, and so
he has shifted his position to an issue
which the anti-silver men on the plat
form committee made, and instead Of
having the reputation for sturdy and
staunch advocate of the old principles
he is now posing as the leading anti
imperialist" in the country. And so the
query, "NNhat does Bryan stand ior?"
cannot be answered satisfactorily by
those who are supporting him.

q ENATOR WELLINGTON is
now clear over into the camp OF
~ Bryan. The fire Of resentment
and ingratitude that ranked
within him toward those who have
heaped honers upon him, could not
longer be restrained, and Tuesday night
saw this political acrobat on a public
stage in Cumberland, with Bryan, de-
nouncing the party that has made him.

part, however. All remember his con

Some Democrats who, in their anxiety
to say something against the adminstra-
ton, have endeavored to Criticise the
action Of the President in sending troops
to rescue the American minister and the
American citizens imprisoned in the
Chinese capital as "impenalsm.' But
such utterances have proven 50 unpopu-
lar that nearly every man that has said
anything on that line has had to explain
One Of the most recent explanations Of
that kind came from To-. W. Habercrom,
who evidently talked too much at the
recent indianapolis gathering. When
he got back to Washington Habercrom
had to explain, and attempted to modify
his statement. The modification amount
ed to about this: at was right to send
troops to the rescue Of the American
citizens, but it was wrong for Mckinley
to doit,"
