The notable fact In the result is the
sweeping victory. landslide as the
saying Is. OF course, as usual, various
are the opinions given as to the chief
cause. Some wise persons knew It be-
fore and the plutocrat press In the
land agree remarkably with the British
press and rejoice accordingly. The
London Times calls the reelection OF
Mckinley "a victory for, common hon
esty." as though honesty had anything
to do with 1t. any more than with the
late Tory victory IN Greet Britaip, The
truth ID that the English speaking peo-
pie love war and the war party both In
England and here. is popular and pre-
walls. The present Salisbury Chamber
lain administration in Britain was
sustained at the late election in its
war OF conquest against the Beers and
our administration has been endorsed
and sustained In its war of conquest
in the Philippines. War affords great
opportunities to help friends and to re-
ward favorites. and such corruption
seems to win more than honesty. Hence
It Is that the gospel OF peace Is not
popular these days. "Tis true, tits
pity, and pity It's tits true"

said Of the Filipinos: Practically
they were eur allies" The senator, who
was also a peace commissioner at Paris.
could not deny. his own record. At
Paris. according to the peace commits

Whittier IL the Filipinos were of ina

answer was, Very great" Still more
