DEATH or COUNT MuRAVIEFF.

The death of Count MuraviefT. Russian
minister of foreign affairs removes from
the stage of international statescraft "a
leading actor. Muravicff was one of
the worlds greatest statesmen and
should be ranked with CavOur Mira
beau and Gladstone. Russia has had
no guiding hand So dextrous US his since
the death of GortschakoG and for the
immense strides the Slavic people have
taken within recent years, he is largely
responsible. His energy and foresight
pushed forward the Trans Siberian rail
road To almost completion, which, in
itself is Il colossal undertaking. giving
the Russians military prestige in the
East which was fast assuming overshad-
owing proportions. and which was a
constant menace to British power. His
sagacious mind apprehended the need
of his nation for an all year open port,
and il is achieved in Eladivostock, which
is of immense value His recent diplo-
to the benefit of Russia, for his country
men, from under Great Britain's nose Sc
cured some Of the most valuable rail Dad
concessions, and he was spreading ont
the Cars sphere of influence until
checked by the international agreement
Of the Open Door.
On his initiative the peace conference
met at The Hague, and while the
immediate effects resulting from the de-
alterations and agreements of that body
are still only ephemeral, yet they are des-
tined to be effective in the future. In
the death of this master mind, Europe
has lost u brilliant statesman and Great
Britain II dangerous foe.

ADMIRAL DEWEY WITIIDRAWS.

Mr.. OTTENDORFER'S OPINION.

Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the New
York Staats Ieitung, who in Il recent
interview, given 10 the New York Her
aid, discussing the attitude of German
American voters in the coming election,
concludes that if the Democrats 20 to
the country ON the issues of imperialism
and trusts they have good chance of
winning. Mr.. Ottendorfer has the fol
lowing to say
German Americans feel that they
have been misled and betrayed by Pres
ident Mckinley In the imperialistic
principles Of the Mckinley Republicans
they see n tangible evil which they will
reject. In their dilemma they will ac-
cept that which they fear the least, and
as body they will east their votes, |
believe, for Bryan.
German voters hold the balance of
power in Wisconsin New York, Mich
gan and Illinois. 1t is in their power TO
give these states Ia Bryan, and with
them he will win.
We entirely agree with the eminent
New York editor that Mr. Mckinley has
BETRAYED and misled the German Amer
lean voters ~ ne has all others in this
country When he sought the suffragcs
of the people now nearly four years ago,
there was no thought i'll any suggestion
he made that would indicate the adOp-
ton of n policy for vast imperialistic
sway but looking back from our present
altitude and then turning the mind to-
ward thcfutnre we can readily deter
mine the development which is newt
able through the imperial idea Mr..
Mckinley would start the nation on II
colOnizing career If he is successful he
would minimize its power. II was the
late Rt. Hon William Ewart Gladstone
who said when making II comparison Of
the strength of Great Britain and the
United States that this country had u
surprising advantage, owing to the fact
that its territory was continuousand not
separated The truism uttered by this
sagaCious and far seeing statesman will
be further ignored If the country again
rests its power III the aggrandiZing
hands Of the present chief executive and
his allies in the cabinet and III congress.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

One Is aStOnl-hed ~ lhr bfhItH tal
lousness with which the Republican
platform refers 10 trusts. and its utter
want of candor on the absorbing ques-
tons of miiiarism and expansion. Not,
one word is said Of either Of the two last
issues The party il evidently ashamed
of its policy, and il stealthily seeks to
ignore these paramount subjects. The
platform is long diatribe Of party adu
latiOn in which adjeCtiycs are used with
prodigal waste in the dedication of Mr.
Mckinley, and the denunciation of Dem
ocratic doctrine The Democratic party
can face its historic foe in u complacent
mood. II is not disturbed by the blus-
ter and savage generalitics of Republi-
can orators. nor is it scared by platform
screed. ~ that no ammunition which
the other fellow fires will do greater
damage than would paper pellets if aim
ed at a modern man-of war
The platform tells us that il ''recog-
nizes the necessity and propriety of the
honest cooperation Of capital to meet
new business needs This plainly "A

sentence the platform says. we condemn

~ rebuttal argument to the worthy

Is it to be inferred from this that when

produced i'll our island possessions or
the Dutch West Indies? The United
States government has paid $50, 600, 900
for the Philippines and will pay $40,

need Will some one please figure ont
