serves the highest honor and the most unwaver-

IL they know that monetary fooshness would
utterly PROSTATE the new industries and the i'm
mature development of the South. though more
strongly rooted Northern industries would sur
vive they will nevertheless vote for any fnan-
cial idiocy rather than for Republican. But
behind them there is young South which has
some thought for to-day and tomorrow. The
President finds a welcome in Southern
States because National unity has become the
pride of millions who are glad that disunion did
not prevail
The Republican party has had power for
many years to enforce In Southern States the
ment and the apportionment of Electors and
Congressman. 1t has for many years chosen to
believe that the growth of a new South, the
development of Southern industries, the revival
of loyal feeling in foreign emergencies, would
In due time bring to the front in Southern States
men to whom support of Populist and Anarchist
and warfare against the flag would be impos-

ton In these days, when the Democrats are try
ing to get the Government embarked on the
opposite course simply to wreck the whole ex-
pansion policy:
But in the mere administrative matters which
pertain to the machinery of government, Con-
gress will exercise It's power. II 1t were not so,
1t Is indeed true that the retention of these
islands is simply impossible. We shall
not commit the folly-nor does any constitutional
obligation require that we should commit the
folly-of submitting the interests of these old
States to an inundation of lO.OOOOOO Malays
into the general control of our National affairs.
For such time as may be necessary such pro-
vision must be made for them with regard to
education, citizenship. revenues, and so on, as
the wisdom of our people here at home. ex
pressed through Congress, shall direct.
The people who are demanding Puerto Rican
free trade as a Constitutional right will find
no comfort In this, however much those may
be pleased who have regarded nominal duties
as ineXpedent And when the vast amount
of misconception of the powers of Congress is
considered probably Secretary Long would be
ready himself to concede that there was much
to be said In favor of exercising those powers
as an initial step in administering these new
possessions and showing that the retention of
them is possible, even if that course makes an
outcry. How unreasonable that outcry is and
how little ground anybody has for saying the
administrative measures contemplated by Con-
gress are any hardship to Puerto Rico any
violation of promises to it he makes clear. We
are planning to give Puerto Rico substantial
liberty of government and trade under such
regulations as thought best adapted TO the
prosperity and tranquility of the island and the
successful solution of the expansion problem
and it is ridiculous to say that general assur-
ances of a share In American privileges restrict
Congress in the exercise of reasonable discre-
ton as to how In particular these privileges
shall best be conferred

Mr. Bryan in his Nebraska platform. which

filling phrases the juvenile Yaps in the upper gal

And yet in that same benign and philosoph-
zeal charter of humanity Mr.. Bryan declares:

Is not Mr.. Bryan aware that the Nicara qua

States? Are we to go down there, invade that
territory with force and arms and purchase
trade or highway for trade, 'at the lannon's
mouth with human blood? Are we to seize
their land, and thus convert republic into an
empire? Are to establish great fortresses
upon the land thus seized, and maintain huge
standing army there, and commit ourselves TO
all the evils of "militarism"?

"BACKWARD IN COMING FORWARD"

When a man criticises anothers party he is
apt TO wear spectacles that magnify defects.
But when he criticises his party there is
some reason TO think its defects are not magni-
fed. Southern Democracy has not seemed wise
or progressive to Northern Republicans; indeed,
they have been much tempted TO regard 1t as a
survival from darker century, happily passed.
But the impressions Of Northern men, and par
ticularly of Northern Republicans. are liable TO
be less than partial. 1t is when a Southern man
speaks in a Democratic journal regarding the
back wardness of his friends at the South that
one feels the arraignment can hardly be unjust.
The Democratic party is what the South makes
II. There cannot exist in this country anything
remotely akin to Her Majesty's Loyal Oppo-
sitiOn" so long the Democratic party is abso-
lutely dependent upon a block of Southern
States which apparently incapable in Ma
tional elections of any better feeling than q
blind and vindctive hatred of every step of
progress since 1860 So 1.-The Newly York Tines
reasons that 1.-The South has not yet had quite
enough Of Bryan; that if be could be beaten in
the Democratic Convention the Democrats Of the
South would probably vote for him as a Popu-
list and adds:
One more defeat and unmerciful reduction
Of their representation in Congress and in the
Electoral College will teach the Democrats of
that part of the country lessons Of wisdom that il
seems impossible TO get into their heads in any
other way.
This situation, if correctly stated, leaves for
the Democrats of the North no hope. They
might by a desperate struggle rescue the name
and organization of their party from control of
the worst elements, but only TO find il stripped
of all power possibility of power by the seces-
sion of Southern voters and States. So they
can only await the Christening influence Of
other defeat. But meanwhile are the Republic
cans TO be idle? VIII they not surely draw TO
themselves patriotic and progressive men at the
South as we'll as at the North, because no other
party can be found TO uphold the flag against
armed rebellion TO develop the industries OF the
South as of the North TO maintain sound
currency and strengthen the credit Of the Ma
ton? If there has TO be a choice between an
archy and violent overthrow of courts and laws
.ncited and countenanced by Democrats and
PopuIists BOTH and the forces of civilization
and order welded by the Republican party, on
which side will the substantial and progressive
men of both sections be found?
Southern backwardness is largely matter of
memory. The men who are too old 10 forget
