Washington Gossip.

WASHINGTON, March Is, l900.-
Uneasiness reisns in the McKin-
ley camp for various reasons and
especially because of rumor that
Ben. Harrison, who has been jump
ing all over the republican wobbling
on the Porto Rico tariff question,
is going to be doomed as an anti
Mckinley and anti-English re-
publican candidate for the Presi-
Dental nomination. The story, as
it comes to Washington, is that
Harrison is sure of the Indiana
vote Ia the convention to start
with; that he is reasonably sure of
the Minnesota vote and has more
than fighting chance to get the
Michigan vote, if Mr.. Mckinley
continues his present pro-English
attitude towards the war in South
Africa, and has supporters in many
other states. 1t is too soon 10 say
how much there is in this alleged
Harrison boom, but he isn't the
sort OF man to say or do anything
without an object, and it is difficult
to see what other object he can
have in humping the Mckinley
policy, as he has been doing recent
ly, than to try to get the Presiden-
tial nomination for himself.
When Mr.. Mckinley signs the
gold standard bill, which will make
the rich richer and the poor poorer
which was passed in the Senate
and House this week, as reported
from the Conference committee, he
will cancel one of the heavy obli
cations he incurred to the moneyed
interests of the country during hi.
campaign for election to the Presi
dency.
Senator Lodge is usually a good
talker, although always radical ir
his ideas, dut he couldn't do him
self justice In his speech in favor o.
the bill giving Mr.. Mckinley auth
ority to govern the Philippines as
he pleases, which ought properly
to be called: A bill making Will
lam Mckinley Czar of the Philip
pines. 1t Is not easy to tell the
Senate that it should give one man
autocratic power over the lives and
fortunes of millions of poor devils
who were bought aud sold without
their consent. If Congress eveI
passes this bill the people of this
country will sorely regret 1t.

tions involving politics, lodged the

mocracy can get the votes of that
majority"
From this carefully prepared
manuscript the president read:
"There can be no imperialism.
Those who fear are against 1t Those
who have faith In the republic are
against it. Our only difference is
that those who do not agree with
US Me and Marx have no conf
dence in the virtue or capacity or
high purpose or good faith Of this
free people as a civilizing agency
dwelling of shirt-frOnts and grins
from Mark Hanna and the other
civilizing agencies], while we be-
lieve that the century Of free gov
ernment which the American peo-
pie have enjoyed has not rendered
them faithless and irresolute," etc.
The paragraph is really too long
to quote, but the sense of 1t is that
we have reached point where we
are prepared to forsske our own
American institutions and evange-
lize, commercialize and civilize the
benighted peoples of other lands
la Great Britain. We don't believe
1t, though the president said is. 1t
is his own personal policy and has
no more to do with the American
people than the proclamation OF
George III. to the American rebels
