The Reeister in Pain.

The flatuient Register went into a
paroxysm OF pain yesterday, because
the IntellIgencer held up the corruption
of the party and Its policy Of negro
batting. the same policy st pursued in
1896, when in that campaign 1t attempts
ed to Brighten the people by the UNI
justlhable assertion that II the Repub-
Heans were triumphant we would have

the faces Of intelligent people when
every citizen who knew anything at

possible for the reason that 1t was in
hibited by the state constitution. Now,
this same constituencies Democracy Is
paving the way for another campaign
on the same lines, and the cry has gone
out I'VE must down the negro vote"
The Intelllgencer has maintained. and
iterates what every fair-minded citizen
knows to be fact, that the ballot box
in 1888 was most shamefully debauched,
and that the head and front Of that
crime was the master hand that direct
ed the forces that nominated Holt at
Parkersburg. Politically John T. Nc
Gruw will stop at nothing to gain his
object. He overreached himself In 1898.
but he is again In the saddle, and moth
ing that his dangerously ingenious mind
can suggest will be left undone to make
another desperate charge on the in
tegrity OF the franchise. In spite Of
all these things. which have been made
70 plain that a wayfaring fool has no
accession to err In clear reading OF the
Indictment, the Register attempts to
divert the public mind from the cor

In another column Of this issue n
Philippine correspondent Of the 1ntelll-
gencer writes entertainingly on the
question OF the hour in this country,
whether the United states shall retain
absolute possession Of the Pacific
islands, or whether they shall be gov
erned by a prOtectorate. The testimony
he gives as to the present situation In
the archipelago is the deduction of a
very Intelligent observer OF affairs in
that country. and is given without a
tlnge OF partisan feeling.
His urgent appeal for careful study
Of the problem of government for the
Flliplnos by all Americans shows that
the American citizens now In the Phil
ippines as soldiers arc awaiting with
more than usual interest the outcome
of the declarations Of the two great
political conventions about to meet, and
we infer from his letter that their great
est hopes lie with the Republican party
for a definite and Intelligent expression
on the subject. The lntelligancer be-
lieves that 1t can assure the Americans
in the Philippines. those who love their
country and are upholdIng its honor and
integrity. that the great Republican
party, which has never yet sh!rked n
responsibility. will meet all their ex-
pectatlons In this matter. 1t cannot
possibly AFFORD to do otherwise and re-
tain the confidence OF the people.
The Democracy may howl about lin.
periallsm" all IT pleases, for call 1t by
what nams you please, the United
states must govern the Philippines alb
solutely until the people Of those islands
shall have shown themselves capable OF
participating In the government, and
approaching the benefits OF n civilian
ton that is now offered them at the
hands OF this country.
