Mr. Bryans plan for the solution Of the
Philippine question shows his lack of prac-
tical craftsmanship and his inability to
take in all she bearings of question. He
says:
III elected shall convene Congress in ex-
traordinary session as soon as l am in
augurated, and recommend an immediate
declaration OF the Nations purpose, first,
TO establish a stable form of government
In the Philippine islands, just as we are
now establishing a stable form or govern
ment in the island of Cuba; second, TO give
independence TO the Filipinos, just as We
have promised TO give independence TO the
Cubans; third. to protect the Filipinos from
outside interference while they work out
their destiny. just as we have protected
the republics of Central and South Amer
lea.
He pronounces this IAN easy. honest and
honorable solution of the question" and
says this plan 1 unreservedly indorse."
Instead of furnishing an honest and hon.
orable solution of the question this would
be dishonest and dishonorable evasion of
treaty obligations and would plunge the
United States into a sea or troubles. BY
the treaty with Spain the United States
has become. as far as other nations are
concerned. the undisputed owner Of the
Philippines and has assumed the obligation
and duty of establishing stable government
there. 1t is responsible for injuries done
to the persons or property of the subjects
Of foreign nations by the Filipino insurrec-
tionists. 1t cannot divest itself of its title
TO the islands escape its obligations to
other nations by withdrawing its troops
and leaving the Filipinos TO work out their
own sweet will. This, in plain language,
would be giving them a free hand to raise
the devil A so-called protectorate by the
United States under such circumstances
would be assuming responsibility for what
ever the Filipinos might do without at
tempting TO establish stable government or
use any restraining force No possible So
luton OF the question could be worse than
This. Better surrender all claim TO the
islands and leave them derelct; better
quitclaim them to some foreign power or
pay bonus to be relieved of our response
bility; better do anything weak and pusil-
luminous than adopt the dangerous plan
of becoming responsible for the acts of the
Fflipinos without attempting to govern
them

Mr.. Bryan in his Tomlinson Hall speech
said that the Democrats have the large
cities of the country. and that is for the
most part true. He began TO name them
with New York and said: "We have New
York" 1t is true. No man did more to get
Mr.. Bryan's silver plank into the platform
than did Boss Croker, who represents all
sorts of corruption in local government. Its
mayor is large shareholder in an ice
trust. as is almost every Tammany leader
a trust that more than doubled the price
of ice to the consumers in New York city.
In the vocabulary of the country Tammany
is a synonym for infamy. Mr.. Bryan may
glory in Tammany now, but he has not
always done ii.

Charles Francis Adams, of Massachu-
sets, is an independent of independents.
and rather an anti-expansionist. He writes
the New York Evening Post that he hopes
to see William Mckinley reelected and
would Ike to see Mr.. Bryan in the Senate
to learn what, If anything, there Is in
him." but Bryan in the White House. with
Altgeld, Croker and George Fred Williams,
is altogether a different proposition. He
writes:
There is Scriptural adage I'm regard to
the futility of endeavoring to gather figs
from thistles; and when | see certain of
my "anti-imperialist' friends gayly dancing
forth, basket on arm, to that Kansas City
wilderness of thlstles, confident that they
going to come home after March next
with an assortment of reform figs, at once
fine, full and flavorous. / confess my sense
of surprise at their credulity is greater
than my confidence in the outcome of their
political picnic Since when has the cor
rupt tree ceased to bring forth evil fruit?

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Malatesta, the An
archist, who is considered by the Tribuna,
of Rome, to be the leader of the regicide
conspiracy, was interviewed in London yes
terday. He is represented as having said:
''Signor Sarracco Cthe Italian Premier) is
our best friend He pays the detectives
such small salaries that We can buy them
cheaply. A few francs and a handful of
cigarettes and you can buy an Italian de-
tective.
THE Spanish police are the cheapest: the
Italians come next, and then the Russian,
American, French and English in that
order. The German detectives are the
dearest because they are the most stupid.
With all their arrests they have not arrest
ed any real revolutionist. We shall shortly
establish in Italy economic equality and
social brotherhood. Then the whole world
will follow the example of Italy"

The platform adopted by the Wisconsin
Republicans contains the following:

The great reformation effected in our
general elections through the Australian
ballot inspired us with confidence to apply
the same method in making nominations
so that every voter may exercise his sover-
eign right of choice by direct vote without
the Intervention or interference of any po-
litical agency. We therefore demand that
caucuses and conventions for the nominal
lions of candidates for office be abolished
by legislative enactment, and that all can
didates for State, legislative, congressional,
and county offices be nominated at primary
under the Australian ballot.
There has been a noticeable growth of
public sentiment in favor of primary cleo
lions in recent years. but this is the first
demand for their application in all nomi-
nations. 1t would simplify the machinery
and lessen the excitement in politics, but
the result might be beneficial. The conven-
ton business is getting to be overdone.

The allotment of one half of the British
war loan of s5O.OOO.O 900 to the United States
has raised quite commotion in financial
circles abroad and some Indignation in
London. The Westminster Gazette speaks
rather bitterly of America financing our

fers to the United States the world s

seems TO be a favorable one for London,

The interurban electric railways which

city find better and cheaper homes In such
suburbs because they can reach them. The
same will be true of the larger lines ne

proposition to tax such lines 500 year for

Could truer picture of government under
Lincoln, who absorbs in his person all the
functions of the executive, legislative and
judicial branches, be drawn?
In a long speech which is introduced by
editorial + found the following vile attack
upon Abraham Lincoln:
More than 1850 years ago Rome was gov
erned by three men at the end of that re-
public. One was Caesar. They were all
or noble blood. And we, too, have our tri-
umvirate-LincOln. Stanton. Halleck; but.
unfortunately. neither of them can boast
very high descent Three succeeded an
emperor, who could fiddle when Rome was
burning. We also have our Emperor, Lin
coin, VINO can tell stale jokes whilst the
land is running red with the blood of broth
ers.
Two or three days before the election in
October. 1864. the Sentinel uttered the fol-
lowing terrible warming:
Should Mr.. Lincoln be reelected the
revolution will be accomplished. This will
be no longer a republic of the United
States. but a consolidated empire. Every
safeguard must sooner of later give way.
The limitations Of the executive power will
not be in the Constitution, but in the pleas
ure of the President. We implore
patriotic and intelligent men to pause and
reflect and give their verdict on Tuesday
next III the people Will not save tnelr
priceless Constitution and Union, Ii Is lost.
The Sentinel, nor Mr.. Frank Burke, nor
even Mr.. John W. Kern has uttered so
startling warning against the imperialists
as this Of the Sentinel in 1864 against En-
peror Abraham Lincoln. But the Sentinel
did not brighten the people in October, 1864.
for, regardless of the warning, the State
gave Governor Morton nearly 10000 plurali-
