Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1900-08-09

We eommend the policy or the9repuhIcan
party in maintaining the efficiency of the
civil service. The administration has act
ed wisely in its effort to secure for public
service in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii int
the Phllippine Islands only those whose 1T
experience. We believe that employment
in the public service in territories
should be confined as far as practicable to!
their Inhabitants.
1T was the plain purpose OF the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution to prevent
discrimination or account OF race or color.
in regulating the elective franchise. De-
vices of state governments, whether stat
utory or constitutional enactment, to avoid
the purpose of this amendment, are reyo-
lntionary and should be condemned.
GOOD ROADS.
Public movemen looking to az perma-
nent Improvement of the roads md high
ways of the country meet with our cordial
approval and we recommend this subject to
earnest consideration of the people and
the legislatures Of the several states:
We favor the extension of the rural free
delivery service Whereyer7i its extension may
be justified.
ARID LANDS.
In further pursuance of the constant poll
Icy of the republican party to provide free
mend adequate national legislation to re-
claim the arid lands of the United States,
Preserving control of the distribution Of wa
ter for Irrigation to retrospective states
and territories.
We favor home rule for and the early
admission to- statehood of the territories of
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
A REDUCTION OF WAR TAXES.
The Dingley act amended to provide suf-
hcients revenue for the conduct of the war
has so well performed its work that it has
been possible to reduce the war debt In
the sum of S40,000,000 So ample are the
government s revenues, and so great is the
public coincidence in the Integrity of its OBJ

now justified In expecting and 1t will be
the policy Of the republican party to bring
abouts a reduction of the war taxes.
TRADE EXPANSION.
We favor the construction, ownership,
control and protection of an isthmian canal
by the government of the United States.
New markets are necessary for the in
creasing surplus Of our farm products.
Every effort should be made to- open and
obtain new markets, especially in the ORR
lent, and the administration is warmly to
be commended for it's successful effort to
commit all trading and colonizing nations
through the policy of the open door In
China. In interest of our expanding CONF
merce. We that congress create
q department Of and industries
IN the charge of a secretly with a seat In
the cabinet. The consular system should
be recognized under the supervision of
this new Experimentation such a basis Of
appointment and tenure as will render it
1stlll more serriceable to the nations In
cfeaSing trade.
The American government must protect
the person and property OF every citizen
Wherever they are ~Wrongfully violated or
placed in peril.
We congratulate the women OF America
upon their splendid record of public service
u the volunteer aid association and the
nurses In camp and hospital during the re-
cent campaigns of our armies in the east
erngand5S western indies, and we appreciate
their faithful cooperation in all works of
education and industry.
President Mckinley has conducted the
foreign affairs of the United States with
distinguished credit to the American peo-
PIE releasing the United States from
the grleyous conditions of q European al
lance for the. government of Samoa his
course is especially to be commended. BY
ms securing 70 our undivided control the
most important island of the Samoan group
and the best harbor In the southern Paciic
every American Interest has been safe
guarded.
We approve the annexation Of the Ha-
Waiian Islands to the United States.
We commend the part taken by our gor-
ernment in the peace conference at the
Hague. We assert our steadfast adherence
Ito the policy announced in the Monroe dne-
trine.
The provisions Of the Hague convention
were wisely regarded when President Nc
kinley rendered his friendly offices in the
interest OF peace between Great Britain
aud the South African republic. While the
american government must continue the
policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed
by every succeeding president and imposed
upon us by the Hague treaty Of I,on-infer-
vention in European controversies the
american people earnestly hope that a way
may soon be found. honorably alike to both
eontending parties, to terminate the strife
between them.
In accepting by the treaty Of Paris the
Just responsibility of onrSVictOrfes in the
spanish war, the president and the senate
won the l~Indonbted approval Of the Ameri-
can people,. NO other course was possible
than to destroy Spain,s sovereignty
