Republican n Inconsistency.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
a strong point in Mr.. Bryan's speech Of
acceptance at indianapolis was his criti
cism Of the adminisIra ton in maintaining
a tariff against Porto Rico. This display
of bad faith toward a people who placed
their trust In the United States is open %
severe censure and merits the structures
which Mr. Bryan directs against it. 1t
does not, however, imply the thick dark
ness Of perpetual yassalage" in the Phil
ippines.
The disingenuous policy OF the govern
ment in respect 10 Porto Rico does not at
all invalldate the doctrine Of expansion. II
was a fatuOus devotion 10 a fallaci0us pO-
litical dogma that caused the government
at Washington TO impose a tax on the
products OF Porto Rico. It was not fair
nor friendly nor in keeping with the
pledges OF the administration.
The mistake the Democrats have made
is in taking a sweeping stand against d
policy Of national expansion as advocated
by the Republicans instead Of coming out
for a more liberal Interpretation OF this
doctrine than has been indicated by the
government in its treatment Of Porto
Rico. Free trade goes with the idea Of
expansion Protection is a logical adjunct
Of isolation
Il Is unfortunate for the Democratic
party that. as the natural enemy OF the
tariff system, IL did not embrace the Op-
pOFtUnity OF taking up Tor commercial
freedom and territorial extension Instead
OF opposing the Republicans on popular
issue which they are carrying out in a
Uay that is inconsistent and unjust 10 the
people Of the nations new insular pos

"a, Lord Robert. Is Too Mild.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Complaints are being made in England
that Gen. Roberts is TOO long-sunering
and induigent. II he were 10 declare the
war over and were 10 announce that any
one found with weapons in his hands
would be treated as a brigaHd and an
outlaw and be shot in his tracks, there
are a good many OF Lord Roberts coun-
trymen who would applaud the news.
But Lord Roberts is not that kind OF man
and is not likely 10 DO anything OF the
kind. tie doesn't have to- because. after
all, the BOer resistance, although IL has
been pT0tracted beyond the general ex-
pectation. IS steadily cTumbling away.
and Lord Roberts only has 10 continue
his present tactics 70 accomplish at once
the subsection and the psclhcation Of the
country IN which he Is campaigning. The
next thing We shall hear is that a procla-
nation has been promulgated announcing
that the Transvaal had become British
territory. In the meanwhile, with 3,009
Beers in St Helena and 400 OF them In
CeylOn. or on their way there, the depop-
u!ation OF the country proceeds space

many Of the downtown sky scrapers. The
building occupies half the block on Green

OF steam in the street that traffic on the

"UNDER THE MASH"
Republican Organ Reviews SenatorHoar's
Latest Interview on Mr. Bryan.
From the New York S

In an interview printed by the Boston
Journal, the Hon. George Frisble Hoar,
who has been and is firmly opposed to i'm
peTialism, gives his opinion OF Mr. Bryan's 5
proposal to call an extra session of Con-
Sress as soon as he is inaugurated, If he
Is elected, for the purpose of having it
declared the intention of the United States
20 establish stable government in the
Philippines and to make them indepen-
dent and SO on. Mr.. Hoar shows that the
proposal is mere wind and sound:
Mr.. Bryan knows he could not expect either
house of Congress 20 do this thing until the people
Of the Philippine Islands have abandoned their op
position and have established an orderly govern
ment Unter our protection. He knows that IL there
should be a Democratic majority in the House Of
Representatives equal TO his widest hopes and If
the Republican majority in the Senate should be
reduced 10 two. wiped out altogether so that 1t
should b. a tie-whiCh is, / suppose, beyond his
most saEguine expectations-there are still earnest
and pledged imperiallsts enough in the Democratic
party 10 prevent any such action. Does he expect
Morgan and Pettus, of Alabama after their State
has indorsed their position triumphantly-dOes he
expect Sullivan, of South Carolina; McEnery Of
louisiana Jones and Stewart, Of Nevada, OF others
that could name. TO swallow everything they have
said publicly for the last four years?
If imperialism were the one great issue
there would still be no help in Mr.. Bryan.
But the anti-imperialsm of Mr.. Bryan and
his party is, as Mr.. HOdr says, but a
mask to cover their purpose to establish
the free coinage of silver. a mask to cover
their purpose 10 bring in free trade, a
mask 10 cover their purpose TO overthrow
the banking system, mask to cover an
attack on the Supreme Court and a pur-
pose TO reOrganiZe il if they can get tke
opportunity. A very considerable num-
Der Of judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States are old men. IL is not at
all impossible that the majority OF the
court may be changed during the term OF
a single President" Mr.. Hoar is not de-
ceived by the mask:
must have something better than these declara-
tions against Imperialism from the candidate who
secured the passage Of the treaty and baed all the
efforts l able 10 make against IT, before | am
ready 10 purchase his election at the cost Of having
government that viii sympsthize with the dis
franchisemeut Of 10 OOO 600 OF Americans at home,
that will stand for dishOnoring the currency for
the violation OF national faith for the overthrow
ing Of the banking system and the establishment
Of an income tax for asssng the integrity Of the
Supreme Court for sympathiEing everywhere with
POpulism and Socialism.
We don't believe that many persons car

POISON FOR A DIPLOMAT.

from the flowers. He fell IN faint.
His recovery was accompanied by vio-
lent sickness and vomiting. In fact, his
condition presented many characteristics
Of poisoning. and only by prompt treat
ment was he relieved. Mile. CZerwinska
has been arrested. She appears 10 be
mentally deranged. Before the examining

Snodrrass Expected 10 Withdraw.

ChattanOOge, Tenn, Aug. 13.-The State
Democratic executive committee has re-
fused the request Of Judge d. L. Snod-
grass, candidate for United States Sena-
tor. 10 cali a general Senatorial primary.
This action will probably result in the
withdrawal OF Judge Snodgrass. His Op-
ponent Congressman Carmack, has the
best of the situation, a number of cOun-
ties having already instructed for him.
He is more in line with the Democratic
platform than Judge Snodgrass. The lat
ter is a rampant expans!onist, but is sup
porting Bryan and Stevenson. Carmack Is
very much opposed 10 imperialism, and is
making redhOt campaign on that Issue.
