HANNA,s FUND SMALLER.

Enormous Campaign Collections of
1896 Not Possible This Year.
WASHINGTON, July IA great many
Republicans admit that Chairman Hanna
will not have the enormous campaign
fund at his disposal this year that he
had four years ago. Nearly all of those
who were then identified with the Gold
Democratic movement will this year con-
tribute to the Democratic campaign
fund, and former Republicans who are
now anti-imperialists will not give a
cent to help re-elect Mckinley.
Many Republicans in Washington and
the East generally admit that the cleo
ton Of Democratic house of representa-
tiyes is almost a certainty.

the methods of Jefferson and Nc
Kinley are still more striking. JET
ferson paid SIS, 900, 900 for Louis
iana's territory that doubled the
area of the United States, and the
acquisition did not cost the life of
single American soldier. The
Post says:
'sThe Philippines have already cost us
5000 lives of American soldiers, and not less
than $3.50, 1000, 900. And no one is wise
enough, not even Mckinley in his elaborate
letter of acceptance, to tell the American
people of what use or benefit they will be to
this country, beyond future waste of life
and treasure. Mckinley repudates the
idea that ten millions of Filipinos can be-
come American citizens, the free institu-
tions of our system of government be APP
piled to the islands their people. They
must be governed the way the imperial
Rome or Britain ruled their colonies, and
that is only possible by imperial methods.
We must become nation of subjects and
citizens. The end is not difficult to forsee.
Imperialism and militarism will grow in
power and become the ruling element The
flag will cease to mean free and constitu-
tional government. 1t will become the
symbol of despOtism. 1t is the way all
republics have gone once they have departed
from the free and constitutional principles
on which they were established.

Lossss in civil war.

Chlcog0 Inter Ocean
Official records show that the
losses in some of the battles of the
civil war were proportionately
greater than any that mark the
pages of history. This fact was
brought out by Commander J. W.
F. Williams of post No. I, Wash
ington, d. c., at the Grand Army
encampment last week, when the
gray haired veterans studied the
rosters Of their old regiments and
talked of the men who fell under
the train of shot and shell at Bull
Rum, Gettysberg, and Antietam-
At Bslaklva the Light Brigade
lost II3 killed and 134 wounded
out of 673 men. which is SO per
cent. Company of the Eighty
Third Pennsylvania out of total
of 1913 enlisted men had ~ killed
at Gettysburg. The heaviest regi-
mental loss in the civil war on
either side was that of the Twenty
Sixth North Carolina at Gettysburg,
when SO men were killed and 5o2
wounded out of a total of 500 men
on the battlefield. In this regime n t
one company of 81 men lost two
thirds of ITS number by death, and
every man was wounded. The fol-
lowing are some of the heavies,
losses IN the civil war:
Union-First Maine heavy ar.
tillery, 4es killed; Eighth New York
in fantry, 361 killed; Fifth New
Hampshire infantry, 2e5 killed ;
Eighty Third Pennsylvania, a8s

OFFICE-SEEKERS.

Ex-President Cleveland has, in a
recent issue of the Atlantic, made
an able defense of that class Of our
citizens known as ofice-seekers or
place hunters. The ex-president
has held Office the best part of his
eventful life and it is no discredit to
him to say that he was fond OF pub
lie Office. Surely a man who arose
from the position of Office boy to
the dazzling eminence attained by
Grover Cleveland was not averse to
official pap. But Cleveland has not
been the only great American who
liked to hold office. In this re-
spect he is not unlike the most illus
trious men that the Republic has
produced. Jefferson tells us that he
never had any desire for Office,
though he served the people in va
rious capacities nearly quarter OF
century. Though prompted by
an unselfish motive Jackson per
mitted nothing to- stand between
him and the goal of his ambition.
Clay. no one will deny, felt the
keenest disappointment because he
never reached the presidency. And

their defeat to the une ratefulness of
the Republic.
Ifit was laudable for men of great
talents to strive for the presidency,
IS it not just as natural that men of
mediocre ability should seek pollti-
cal preferment in the humble spheres
of the public service?
Ex-Presldent Cleveland's sensible
class of citizens administers mer-
tied rebuke to those .'holier than
thou" individuals who arrogate to
themselves all the virtue Of tine
world and never tire of vilifyine
politicians aud of7ice-holders.
Says Mr.. Cleveland:
ssWhy should we indiscriminately hate
those who seek Office? They may not have
entirely emancipated themselves from the
belief that the Offices should pass with party
victory, but even if this is charged against
them it can surely be said that in all other
respects they are at least in many instances
as honest, as capable, and intelligent as
any of us. There may be reasons AMI con-
siderations, but their applications are no,
always disgraceful. 1 have idea tha,
sometimes the greatest difference between
them and those who needlessly abuse them
and gloat over their discontinue consists
in the fact that the ofice-seeker desires
office, and their critics, being more profitably
employed, do not.
81 feel constrained to say this much by
way of defending, or, at least, excusing
many belonging to a numerous contingent
of citizens, who, after the 4th of March,
1885, made large drafts upon my time, vi
tality aud patience, and feel bound to say
that, in view of their frequent disappoint
n,ents, and the difficulty they found in ap
preciating the validity of the reasons giver
for refusing their applications, they accepted
the situation with much good nature anc
contentment as could possibly have been an
ticipated. 1t must be remembered that the,
and their party associates had been banishec
from federal Office holding for twenty-foul
years.

Two Kinds of Expansion.

Daily States.
Teddy Roosevelt Is still asserting
on the stump that Jeffersonian ex-
panslon and McKinley's land grab
bing by means of a war of conquest
are just alike in purpose and prin-
ciple, in spite of the f6ct that times
and again his argument has been
completely exploded. The siren
uous Roosevelt holds thag the an
nexation of the Louisiana territory
by Jefferson without great foreign
war or a great army or involving
the expenditure of hundreds Of mil
lions of treasure and thousands Of
American lives, is the example Nc
kinley followed in seizing the Phi
lippines. Roosevelt is careful to
dodge the fact thai after the annex
| alton of Louisiana when Great
Britain took advantage of our un-
protected condition to land an in
vading army on our coasts, our new
citizens made so by President JEFF
ferson, and not subjects as McKin-
ley would have the Filipinos to be.
| rallied to the standard of Gen.
Andrew Jackson and helped to repel
| the invaders and win one of the
creates. victories of our last war
! with England.
Roosevelt had his attention called
| to this TACT in an open letter written
! by Senator Pettigrew of South Da-
kota, while the former was making
speeches in that State but the
truculent Teddy took no notice of
| it because to do so would be en-
barrassing. The battle of New Or
leans was fought twelve years after
the annexation of Louisiana, and
Roosevelt has been asked how
many wears will it take, at the pres
ent rate of progress, before we can
expect the Filipinos to assist US in
repelllng an attack upon Manila.
1t is true they helped US capture
that city from the Spaniards but it
was with the understanding that
they were fighting for their liberty
and independence. This shows the
difference between treating an an
nexed people as citizens and treat
ing them as subjects. The Filip,nos
our former allies when Dewey des-
troved the Spanish fleet IN Manila
Bay, are fighting us now because
they want to be cirizens Of their
own country and not the unhappy
and helpless subjects Of a power
5000 miles away from them. there
fore the sovereignty of the United
States is no more to their taste than
was the sovereignty of Spain,
against which they had struggled
for more than hundred years.
Every comparison that is made be
tween Jeffersonian annexation o1
territory and the Mcklnley plar
condemns to every fair mind the
imperial policies Of the Republican
party.

Pittsburg Post says that in the mat
ter of cost Of blood and treasure

0ZSAEEECZZON nv THE
SIXTH DISTRICT.

AL Is NOT lOVe1y IN the DemO-
cracy of the sixth district. The
nominating convention recently
held At Baton Rouge resulted IN a
split, the anti-Robertson delegates
Withdrawing and holding separate
meeting and making q nomination
in opposition to Congressman Rob
ertson. The seceders were led by
Judge Lawrason, an eminently re-
spectacle member of the louisiana
Democracy, who made statement
setting forth the cause Of the dis
affection. When men like Judge
Lawrason, Judge Coco, Mr.. Dubuls-
son and others of undoubted fealty
to the party, decide to Withdraw
from a Democratic convention,
their withdrawal may be accepted
as pretty reliable indication that
they have been denied fair treat
ment. Some months ago The Ga
zette referred to the intolerance
betrayed in the Democratic conven-
tions held in Louisiana in recent
years. Coupled with this intoler-
mailed hand of a subtle power which
strove to suppress the least element
of Independent manhood that as
serted itself. The painful unani-
nifty of sentiment which character
ICED the Shreveport and Baton
Rouge conventions has been counted
as an evidence of the existence OF
perfect harmony in the State Demo
cracy, though it was simply the re-
suit of the operation of a poten,
but unseen influence.
Baton Rouge to nominate a con-
gresham for the sixth district we
believe it is clearly shown that the
chairman exceeded the bounds OF
his authority by attempting to de.
eide the question of contest.
After vainly protesting against such
an injustice a large number of the
delegates withdrew from the con
vention, met elsewhere and nomi-
mated a candidate for Congress.
The Gazette hopes that this will
serve as warning to those men
who would rule or ruin the party.
Some men in Louisiana have been
greatly favored by the Democratic
party, but they should not make
the mistake of believing that they
have grown powerful enough tc
ignore the plain principle of fairnes:
in their efforts to perpetuate them
selves in power.
