Abiding 20 the lack of expressed Re-
publican purpose with respect to the
Philippines, further than an intention
to keep up the war until tho people
there abandon their brave fight for in-
dependence, the Chicago Journal says
To the charge that the Republican
party proposes to keep the Philippines
as u colonial enterprise, vague and un-
satisfactory replies are made. The
party seems to lack the courage OF Its
convictions. To be honest is to lose
votes, perhaps. Cuba was promised
Independence; the Filipinos, nothing,
There are many evidences OF regret
that the pledge was given to Cuba,
and the general drift OF Republican
policy is that the mistake in the case
of Cuba will not be repeated in tie
case OF the Philippines.
So, while we are in no immediate
danger Of lmpei ialism, We are threat.
sned with colonialism. We shall moi
know for certain until after election.
The Republioan rarty doesn't seem t.
have the courage to speak now.
1t does not for fact, but it will be
remembered that the United States
Senate, following the ratification Of the
treaty with Spain, adopted resolu
tion declaring: THAT by the ratiiica

ship Of the United States, nor is 1t in,
tended to permanently annsx said
islands as an integral part of the terri
tory of the United States.'' -
This is all right SO far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough, and this
Republican party will not supplement
it with definite expression. There is
no doubt, however, that the invention
is to make subject colonies of thu
Philippines.

A dread factory" being erected in
Milwaukee, is to have some novel, but
very desirable, sanitary features. All
the ingredients are to be tested in n
laboratory before being used. The
bakers will work in full view of the
public, at long tables stationed in front
OF wide plate glass windows. Each
man will be required to wear special
suit Of clothes provided by the manage.
ment, and to- take at least one bath a
day in the bathroom that is connected
with the lockers on the upper floor.
Moreover, he may not smoke, chew or
drink and be a worker in the bread fac.
tory. This sanitation is to extend even
beyond the limits of the factory, for
every loaf of bread on being taken FROM
the oven will be wrapped In sheet of
waxed paper and 80 sent out to the
market. The grocery boy may handle
it, but the customer who buys it may
eat of it in perfect serenity of mind,
knowing that it has not come into con,
tact with his grimy hands or besn
piled up on dirty counters. The
capacity of the factory is to be 80, 600
loaves of bread daily.

when rogues fall out, - says an old
axiom. honest men get their dues. "
A story comes from Georgetown illus
trating the aptness of this quotation.
The Union Republicans held their
primaries throughout Sussex county,
Saturday afternoon. and the party was
divided into factions. The leader OF
the defeated faction charges bribery
and corruption on tho cart of the
victorious faction, and, it is said,
threatens prosecution in the courts, fol-
the purposes of exposure and revenge.
1t is hoped that this defeated Union
Republican leader will not weaken in
his purpose. suit in court, with the
testimony heard and passed upon by
honest judges, would no doubt reveal 0
story of political briEery and corruption
that would land those responsible fol
it in Jail.
1t is not surprising to learn of one
faction of the Union Republican party
charging another faction with bribery
and corruption. II was through bribery
and corruption that the Union Repub
lican party obtained standing in thi:
State. By bribery and corruption il
attracted to its ranks enough voters te
make it political power. It is moi
surprising, therefore, to hear that
when 1t became divided into factions,
and engaged in q fight at its owr
primaries, one of the factions should
use the same means to secure victor,
at the primaries that the PARTY itseli
has 50 successfully employed in carrying
elections.
But now that the rogues have faller
out, honest men may get their dues

in the disreputable business TO corrupt
| ing voters.

To noting the change, since forty
years ago, 1t was claimed that cotton
was king in the United States, the
ST. LOFTS Globe Democrat says that
the yield in 1850 was 5000, 900 bales,
This was on the eve Of the war of
secession, which cut down the supply
foi much more than decade, The
yield was little over 1l,o00, 900 bales
in 1898, aud also in 1899. while it il
put at $500, 600 for 1900.
larger gain, however, has besn
made in the production of both corn and
wheat in the past 40 years. While the
average yield of cotton in 1893, 1890 and
1900 has been about double that Of
1860. tho increase Of corn has very
nearly tripled in this time. and that Of
wheat has more than tripled. The
corn crop Of 1860 was about 500, 600, 600
bushels, while it was up close to
9, 400, 100000 in 1897, and its average
for the past five years has been about
2, 100, 900, 600. In 1900 tho crop promises
to pass that mark. The wheat crop Of
1860 was liza. 600 600 bushels, while it
was 675, eco, 600 bushels in 1898, which
was the highest figure ever touched.
The annual average Of the past five
years has been considerably above
800, 900, 600 bushels.
The increase in cotton has Just about
kept pace with the country's increase
in population in the past forty years.
the inhabitants in 1860 numbering
81, 0O0, 000 as compared with 10000, 600
in 1900 The gain in corn and wheat,
especially in wheat, has gone con-
siderably ahead Of that in population.
Tho money value of cotton, which has
average about $3.50, 900, 900 for each of
the past two years, has been far ex-
ceeded by the olher articles named,
the wheat crop being worth about
$500, 600, 900 and the corn about $3.50, :
600, 900. Hay has also gone ahead of
cotton In recent times, with an average
Of $500, coo, 900 in the past two or three
years. Corn holds the precedence
among all the products Of American
soil, but the three other articles are up
to high figure. and the growth among
all of them stands chance to be rapid
for years in the future as It has been
in the recent past.

A Republican Senator for Bryan

At Cumberland, Nd. Tuesday, Will
liam j. Bryan and Senator Wellington
of Maryland addressed large Demo.
cratic meeting.
This appearance Of Senator Yelling
ton, and his announcement that he
should vote for Bryan for President, are
significant. Wellington is the first Re-
publican Senator elected from Mary
land, and has been a politician OF
power. Like Senator IIoar and Elk.
Senator Edmunds, he broke with the
Mckinley administration on its Philip.
pine policy, but. unlike them, he car.
ried his opposition to the extent Of de
string the defeat of Mckinley, for the
purpose of defeating his policy, and
will vote and speak to this end.
That his opposition will have some
effect, cannot be doubted, but whether
1t will. combined with other influences
that did not prevail in 1896, be suf-
ficient to overcome the more than
$4,000 plurality that Maryland then
gave to Mckinley, remains to be sem.

Not for years-certainly not since a
Democratic nomination in Delaware
was equivalent to an election has
there been such interest and activity
on the part of the Democrats in a
political campaign here as prevails
at the present time. Thore ale
numerous candidates for every Office to
be voted for, and these candidates are
working for the nominations in man
ner that shows that they are buoyed up
by hope of success at the polls. Per-
haps the Republican Discussions largely
tend to this Democratic activity, but
as the Republicans are striving to come
together, the conclusion is reasonable
that the Democrats believe that their

the State ticket, at least, even With
the Republicans united in support of a

ever, the feature that causes such regret
is that a country like the United
