THE PARTY OF ACHIEVEMENTS.
And Those Who Want Things Done Should
Vote With 1t.
Portland Oregonian.l

Portland Oregonian.l
The Republican party represents defi'
mite purposes. 1t is for the gold standard
and for expansion; and il opposes the IL
nancial follies and the socialistc-anarchist'
ic scheme adopted four years ago 10y the
Democratic party and still held by it. II
men believe in the great purposes for
which the Republican party stands they
should vote for Republicans.
Thrre is no other way to support or pro
mote those purposes. If they donot want
the purposes for which the Democratic
party stands, under its modern leadership,
to succeed, they should vote directly
against that party, especially against ITS
candidates for political offices. There is
nothing rational in protesting n fear of the
Democratic patty, dislike of its tenden'
cies, and yet hugger-muggering in ''iusion
with it.
The way to sustain the gold standard
and sound finance, to uphold expansion
and to keep check on the dangerous ten
denotes of the Democratic party, which
the industry and business of the country
SO much dread, is to vote with the Repub-
ican party-that is, to vote for its candi-
dates. Rational men cannot expect re-
suits unless they use the means necessary
to obtain them.

ANTICIPATING TROUBLE.
The Spectator" Expects Lively Anti
British Campaign and is Resigned.

London Spectator
The British people will have to keep their
tempcrS for the next few months when
they consider American affairs. BY a
rather odd series Of circumstances it hap
pens that the pivot of the next election
will be the relation of the United States to
England, and, of course, in the frenzy Of
the campaign very Lard things vii be

70 begin with, the silver section of the
/ Democrats, which is the most numerous,
/ if not ihc most powerful, section, is con-
vinred with some reason that London is
deyole1 to gold standard, and suspects
against reason that it is always paying
money to bride American advocates of that
system. 1t il not recognized that London

therefore, desire to discredit England, and

large party within the Union which dis

still larger one which, without disliking it
for the Monroe Doctrine is in its essence,

IRENE limit-thinks that its application
should be- absolutely confined TO the two
Americas.
We must, however, possess our souls IN
patience, and receive American censure
with the dogged stolidity with which we
receive censure from the remainder Of the
world. The electoral campaign will come
TO an end, and with it NEST Of the attacks

"CiTiZERSHlP" AID NATIONALITY
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
"The Porto Ricans are today says
tine Atlanta Constitution" "9C0,C00
people without a country"
This is a mirstatement. Il is not an
intentional mi:statement, and it Il one
which is being 50 widely made that ,yen
an intelligent, welinformed and good
patriotic paper like the Atlanta Con
stitution" falls INTO it. Those who DO
confuse two entirely different things
citizenship as a matter Of political right
comforting certain privileges and fran.
chises, and nationality which carries al
leglance and brings with it protection.
The Indian is not citizen Of the United
States, but he is under the flag Of the
United States, he enjoys its protection at
home and abroad, he served with credit
in the Civil War ON both sides, and the
United States of America is his country.
Before the negro was admitted to citizen
ship under the 18th amendment some
what against the wish and will Of the
Atlanta Constitution and its friends he
was also not without a country. lie
vas amenable to the laws, he was sub.
iect to the allegiance and he enjoyed
abroad and as far as State rights ard the
peculiar institution permitted the pro
lection of the United States. He does
not enjoy the latter as fully to-day as he
should when he is a citizen, but here
again nationality and citizenship are
separate things, and in his case were con-
forred at different periods.
The Porto Rican is citizen of Porto
Rico, just as the editor of the Atlanta
"Constitution" is a citizen of Georgia.
In addition the editor Ct the Atlanta
Constitution" is Il citizen of the United
States, but his allegiance to the United
States, his right TO its protection and
his share in nationality as far as all in
ternatonal relations were concerned
would exist if Georgia were territory,
had never been organized or, as in the
case of Porto Rico, had been set apart
as a region which is not on the path to
statehood in its present condition.
Great confusion has been created in
the minds of men by the necessity of
defining these two distinct relations.
Citizen is used in the Constitution with
reference to certain political rights.
These political rights are withheld from
Porto Rico. No one, not even the editor
of the Constitution" who with a large
number of his feIow.citizens shares in
the effort to deprive those who are in
dubitable American citizens of their full
political rights, believes the inhabitants
of Porto Rico are ready for the political
rights of citizenship, but this deprivation
does not cut off the inhabitants Of Porto
Rico from share in the nationality of
the United States. They are under its
flag, they owe to it allegiance, they enjoy
from it protection, and they are deri
wing from it benefits of trade and of
public aid such as have been youchsafed
no other territory.

Boer Families on the Battlefield.

London Graphic.l
A private of the Devonshires writes Of
the fight at Grobler's Kloof that the Beers
offered very stubborn resistance. lie
lay in the trenches eighty-four hours,
scarcely able to move, for if he only put
his hand above his head he was sure to
get dozen or more bullets aimed at 1t,
"for the Beers are very good shots" Pro-
ceeding, he says :
"On Sunday there was an armistlce
granted, and during that time our fellows
and the Beers met each other between the
lines and held many conversations. | took
a walk over the ground between us and
the Beers. Oh, what a sight About
thirty of our poor fellows lying dead-some
on hands and knees, as if in he act of

were bitter enemies again, firing as hard
as we could at each other. The Beers
bring their wives and children on the bat

our men burying them. We have a so got
a Boer boy, who is wounded. He says his

CHANGING OPINION.
a FOrtnlghtS Time Has Brought 1t
About in Respect TO Porto Rico.
Lewistown Journal (RepJ

Lewistown Journal (RepJI
Two weeks have seen marvellous
changes in public opinion in reference to
the action of the Administration now in
Porto Rico. Two reasons have operated
strongly to this change The first Is the
absolute certainty that, had the Admin
istration taken the course espoused 10y
the Democrats, the Democrats in order
TO oppose the Administration here would
have espoused the course actually taken
by the Administration.
Anything for an issue is the motto Of
the BRYAN school of politics, the policy
leading it more frequently into the mire
than it does on dry land where is fight
ing ground. The other reason is that
the people have come to see that Con-
rress is right. The bill that has become
a law is broad and emphatic assertion
of the rights of Congress to legiSlate IN
the light of the future rather than the
twilight of the past. 1t is full and com
prehensive demonstration not only OF
the good intent of this nation toward
Porto Rico but also a definite and
STRAIGHTFORWARD declaration by the Gov
eminent of its freedom to govern the
islands as it seems best in the light Of
their own good and in view Of the prog
res, of all people committed to the SOW
ereigntv Of this nation 1t Is well TO
have certain things settled and best of
all it is well to have fllly and absolutely
determined the freedom Of The Govern
ment to proceed in the way which the
present, allied with the future, seems TO
indicate as best.
It has taken some time and long and
bitter struggle but it is safe to say that
the Republican party i'll Congress and in
the nation emuges from it stronger and
better than il was before. Public opinion
follows it with willingness and with con
fdence, the people declaring for the Wis
dom and ability of the Administration in
dealing with this problem. President Nc
Kiney's Administration has passed its
danger point and the verdict Of next
November can be read to-day in its
triumphant vindication.

PHOTOGRAPHIC A BATTLE.
The Incessant whistle of Bullets IL
Not Exactly Conducive 10
Good work.

Many people have had ideas Of pho
tographing a battle. y photograph Of
Modder river would reveal nothing but
bare stretch Of velGt with line Of
willows and popIars in he background.
Not a Boer could be seen, and even cur
own men were almost invisible as they
laythere in sand-colored khaki, keeping
aliberal five PAGES apart-only here and
there where Il slight undulation gave q
precariCus cover could one see the
khaki backs clustered together like d
swarm of locusts on the plain, says
Scribner's.
Personally. having been fortunate
enough to find a small ant-hill for my
head protection, I endeayorcd to take
a few snapshots with kodak, not be-
cause there was anything to take. but
in order to give some idea Of the bare
ASPECT OF a modern battlefield. but !
am free to confess that to let go the
shutter and still keep ones head be-
hind an ant-heap proved so difficult an
operation that it was pure matter Of
chance whether l photographed the
yeldt or the sky.
The incessant whistle of bullets Is
not good for photography, though. Gu
riously enough, it encourages sleep.
Many men dozed off that morning I'M
der the rays of a particularly insistent
sun, only to be awakened by the
bursting Of a big shell or the repeated
reports of a most disagreeable quick
firing gun employed by the enemy with
equal impartiality against our firing
life and our hospital wagons.
All the morning the one cheering
note was the incessant reports OF our
own field pieces and naval guns. Early
in the day the two field batteries had
moved round from our extreme right
and came up in the center just llttle
to the east of the railway and did most
magnificent work.

A person whose business has caused
him to observe trains and crowds arriv-
ing at the Union Depot in this city for a
period of thirty years said yesterday ::
"There is a great difference in the APP
pearance of the delegates to this con-
vention and those who used tC come here
twenty-five years ago. The old-time dele
gates may have been just as good men
and as good Republicans as those of to-
day, but the latter contains a much
larger proportion of prosperous, up-to'
date looking men. And, cone to think of
it," he added, "the same is true Of all
the crowds Of Indiana people that come
here" No doubt it is. 1t is noticeable
in the crowds at the hotels and in the APP
pearance of conventions. Any person
who has attended or witnessed enough
State conventions to compare the per
sonnet of one of to-day with that one of
twenty five years ago must recognize

marked change in the makeup and APP
pearance of the delegates, and generally
in what might be called the manners and
methods Of the convention. This means
that not only the Republican party but
the State and people of Indiana have
grown, progressed and improved. Prob
ably no other State in the Union has
made greater progress during the last
thirty years in all that makes for the gen
eral welfare and prosperity Of a people
and for good government than has
