DEMOCRATIC VERSATILITY,

At least the Democrats do not pro-
pose to make themselves tiresome by
advocating the same principles each
campaign. Four years ago they howled
for free silver, and predicted all sorts
of calamities if they didn't win. Now
they are apologizing for the silver
issue by saying that it is not material
this year and that it is away down to
the tail end of their platform anyway.
They have now discovered that this
great and prosperous Republic is about
to be turned into an empire. Four
years from now they will probably
make another discovery, equally as
absurd, and relegate imperialism to
the rear Wadenu Pioneer Journal.
BACK IN s1XTY-FOUR.
The following from the Indianapolis
Sentinel of 1864 is reprinted for the
benefit of those Bryanite organs that
may be running short on ''original"
editorial matter. ''Should Lincoln be-
reelected the revolution will be ac-
complished. There will be no longer
a republic of the United States, but a
consolidated empire. Every safeguard
must sooner or later give way. The
limitations of the executive power will
not be in the constitution but in the
pleasure of the president. We implore
patriotic and intelligent men to pause
and reflect and give their verdict on
Tuesday next. If the people will not
save their priceless constitution and
union it is lost. ."-Morris Tribune.
THE LIE FOUNDRY.
One special trouble with the Demo.
cratic press is that the truth is not in
it. "He that maketh and loveth a
lie'' is a great man among them. The
1 National Democrat says of Bryan's
speech on Labor Day, "When he
spoke he carefully avoided partisan
questions" Is there a man in Duluth

LIND AND THE PHILIPPINES,

LIND AND THE PHILIPPINES.
Gov. Lind thinks it wouldn't pay the
United States to hold the Philippines
because it didn't pay Spain. When
the Spaniards failed how could the
Americans expect to succeed? Spain
did nothing to develop the resources
of the islands. to stimulate the ener-
gies or ambitions of their people; moth
ing to promote their ndustries-nott-
ing except ito Cypress. and zsplunder
them. The assumption that the. medie-s
val methods of the Spaniards would be
the standard of American performance

lanta Constitution, the New Orleans
PScdy,lne, the Galveston Neaus, and
nearly all the other papers printed in
the larger towns of the South were
out strongly in favor of holding the
Philippines before the Kansas City
convention met. Some OF them advo-
cate that policy still, despite the fact
that the platform of their party de-
clares that ':anti-imperialism" is the
paramount issue. There are very few
hag-furlers among the intelligent
Democrats of the South. They favored
the annexation OF Cuba forty or fifty
years ago, and urged the annexation
of Texas earlier than that. AS ex-

THE BOER ENJOYS AND OUR
RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

The more conservative OF his fellow
citizens will not go the length of join
ing Hon. Webster Davis in the decla-
ration that the United States should
send fleet and 100000 men to South
Africa to put an end to the Anglo Boer
war. though they may regard that war
with aversion and horror. The object
lesson of one such disinterested inter
ference on the part OF this government
is too recent and too humiliating to per-
NIT that a repetition of it should be de-
sired by most thoughtful Americans.
The United States could not, under
existing circumstances. inaugurate
armed Intervention without mourning
risks that would be morally unjustifl-
able and without subjecting itself to
the warranted suspicion OF acting from
selfish motives. The first duty of
government Is to Its own people Arm
ed intervention, or the threat of 1t. In
South Africa, would mean war with
England. In the end we should doubt
less worst England. and. IT, as a re-
suit OF the conflict. the clear principle
that the strong nation shall not oppres;
the weak could be given force and eff
feet In international law. the conflict
might be justiSable even on humane
grounds.
But such would be far from the case.
The United States would become in the
worlds View what 1t Is partially al
ready. a dangerous and unscrupulous
bully. 1t would emerge from such n
conflict with ruined commerce. n de-
pleted treasury. and thousands OF des-
olated homes only to meet the charge
that 1t coveted Canada and took adj
vantage OF England's embarrassment to
absorb that vast territory. No wise or
beneflcent lesson would be taught the
world by such policy. civilization
would not be advanced. history would
find condemnation or cold approval of
it only.
1t was not direct meddling In affairs
in South Africa that the Beers had a
right to expect OF the American Gov
eminent or that our own people expect
ed of 1t. The United States cannot UNI
dcrtake to be the Don Quixote OF the
nations. But. in view OF our history
and the principles OF government to
which our people profess allegiance the
expectation was justified that this gov
eminent should express its dsapproval
of the outrageous attack on the liberty
Of the burghers. and that 1t should have
extended to them, as 1t has so often

might have been given. and might still
be given to the ENJOYS OF the republics
now in this country. Instead of this.
however we have had hardly concealed
advocacy of England on the part of the
Washington administration. together
with a reluctance to project the rights
OF American commerce on the high seas
from English infringement. At no
capital OF Europe were the Boer en-
voys less welcome than they will be at
Washington because no capital is DOM
mated by sentiments more hostile to
their cause.
