We think that Mr.. Thurston's 8
organ is borrowing trouble because
we don't think that there is scintila
of chance to pass Hawaiian terri
torial bill during this session of Con
gress. Of course we would like to
see final form of government estab-
lished here but how can we expect
it whenever the administration or
gan, the New York Tribune, says
that sit is not to be supposed that
Congress will adopt a territorial
policy for any OF our new posses
sions.

A. G.. Silva, a well-know Portu-

THE WHITING ON THE WALL.

The Thurston organ is very much
worried because there is possibility
that the property qualification for
voters to the Hawaiian Senate as ar
ranged in the Cullom bill will be
stricken out and that the "adven-
turers" will be able to control the
Hawaiian vote as they did in the
days when the Advertiser adventurer
had not yet arrived on our beach.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent. j

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-That the
administration regards the crisis, so
far as American interests are con-
cerned, as past, in China, or that it
is anxious to make the powers think
it does, is shown by the withdrawal
Of American warships from Northern
Chinese waters, in addition to the
withdrawal of our troops from China.
This indicates that the purpose for
which the recent ordering of the bat
tleship Kentucky and the cruiser
Albany to Chinese waters was done
has been accomplished. The only
two American warships now remain
ing in northern Chinese waters are
the New Orleans, at Taku, and the
MonecaSy in the Pei-Ho. Those two
will remain all the winter Admiral
Remy, aboard the flagship Brooklyn,
is on his way to Manila, which is tie
headquarters of the Asiatic squadron
of which he is commander. He will
be in easy reach Of China if he is
needed.
Hon. John G.. Carlisle, who was
Mr.. Cleveland'S Secretary of the
Treasury, said while in Washington,
a day or two ago, that he did not in
tend to vote for either Bryan or Nc
Kinley, but lie believed the latter
would win.

taries of the Catholic church, headed

The Oppressive Roosevelt.

The Oppressive Roosevelt.
1t is worthy to note that no other
campaigner, Republican or Democrat,
has met with so many adventures al
legged TO be dangerous as are reported
to have fallen to the lot Of Governor
Roosevelt Indeed, not the suspicion
of an insult, nor even of discOurtesy,
has greeted the appearance on the
stump of any other speaker. At
Victor, Colorado, the Republican
Vice Presidential candidate was made
target for lemons and eggs, although
in that state the cowboy and rough
rider element Of which Roosevelt has
written with enthusiasm is consPlc-
nous. In Chicago the Spanish war
hero was ieercd at by rowdics on a
Sunday at the very door Of modest
sanctuary in which he had worsh'ped
and held hand.shake reception.
vt Fort Wayne, Indiana, Governor
Roosevelt was stoned by party OF
roughs, one missile having struck
him on the shoulder and another
having hit one of his party.
1t cannot be doubted that these
attacks indicate a rough dislike Of
Governor Roosevelt on the part OF
rough assailants which does not eX-
tend even to Hanna or any other
speaker. Yet at the close of the
Spanish war the people, Democrats
and Republicans alike, accepted
Roosevelt as a real hero, sincere
patriot and a good fellow. 1t was
this popular view Of the man that
forced his nomination for the Gov
ernorship Of New York on the re-
luctant party leaders and won for
him a majority of votes. Roosevelt
himself is wholly responsible for the
change in the peoples attitude to-.
ward him. The hero Of Kettle Hill
has shown none of the mOdeSty that
is usually associated with heroic
character; on the contrary, he is
obtrusive and oppressive The
Roosevelt strenuosity is OF a kind
that produces WEAKNESS, and in the
end Indignation. There can be no
sustained admiration or affection for
a public man who adopts patroniz-
ing air toward other patriots, and
who calls all who do not share his
party opinions towards and traitors,
no matter how admirable may have
been his achievementS.-IHiladclphiu

A Democratic House.

The Republican plurality over the
Democrats in the present House is
only u. Their majority over all.
including 3 populists and 3 Siverites,
is only 13. \ gain OF dozen seats
will give the Democrats control of
the next House.
There is very good prospect that
the Democrats will gain more than
this. The Republicans were unques-
tiOnably greatly helped in the cleo
tionS of 1898 by the popular cn.hus-
iasm over the swift and successful
termination Of the war with Spain.
The party in power naturally gained
by this victory, and the discredltable
and dangerous Philippine policy had
not then developed. Nor had the
money question then been settled, as
it was in 1899 by legislation calcu-
lated to give effect to the populat
verdict in 1896.
This year the issue against Im-
perialiSm, MilitariSm and Trusts is
sharply drawn. 1t dominates the
campaign. Under its stress thous.
andS of sound-moncy Democrats have
returned to their party, and a very
large number of independents and
former Republicans are supporting
Mr.. Bryan.
Under these conditions it ought to
be possible and we believe it is pos
