PEOPLE UNFIT TO GOVERN.
That II the IIEmiltonien Idea, and
Marx Hanna Is of Like Opinion.

Every once il awhile a Republican
spellbinder lays aside the cloak Of pre-
tense with which the real principles OF
the Republican party have been COW
cred. When llv ,!ucS -. lie says some
very startling and alarming things
that is. startling to any one not COM
mittcd to Il runaway policy OF impe-
tialiSm and despotism. William Dud-
ley Foulke. who comes from Indiana,
the state IN which the administration
finds its NCelys. has come out In ''scare
heads" for the policy Of the present adj
ministratiOn both abroad and at home.
Mr. FoNlke swells out his chest and
declares In a public speech that the
statement found in the Declaration of
Independence that "all men are created
EQUAL is not true The statement that
"all governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed"
is not true and never has been. Senti-
ments like these are, however, now so
frequently used in defense Of the I'D
ministration that they no longer create
any sensation, and yet there are some
people who say that imperialism is q
bogy and that there are no issues in
volving the very foundation Of free
government Mt stake in this campaign.
Those who attempt to decry the stand
of the anti-imperialists base their ideas
upon the Hamiltonian idea of govern
ment, which is this-"that the people
are unfit to govern" Such is Mark
Hanna's idea, and it is only necessary
for the people to sanction that idea to
prove the claim.

Brutalizins Civilization.

Any one who is acquainted with the
state of the population of all great
industrial centers, whether in this or
other countries, is aware that amidst q
large and increasing body of that
population there reigns supreme that
condition which the French call ola
misere," word for which I do not
think there is any exact English
equivalent. 1t is condition in which
the food, warmth, and clothing which
are necessary for the mere mainten-
ance Of the functions of the body in
their normal state cannot be obtained !;
in which men. women and children
are forced to crowd into dens wherein
decency is abolished and the most
ordinary conditions of healthful ex-
istence are impossible of attainment !;
in which the pleasures within reach
are reduced to brutality and drunken
"coo IA "n'Cn sno p"iuS aCCuWulatc
at compound interest in the shape of
starvation, disease, stunted develop
ment, and moral degradation; in
which the prospect of even steady and
honest industry is life of unsuccess-
full battling with hunger, rounded by
a pauper's grave. - When or
ganization of society, instead of miti-
eating this tendency, tends to continue
and intensity it, when a given social
order plainly makes for evil, and not
for good, men naturally enough begin
to thing it high time to try a fresh ex-
pertinent. I take it to be a mere
plain truth that throughout industrial
Europe there is not a single large
manufacturing city which is free from
vast mass of people whose condition
is exactly that described, and from q
still greater mass, who. living just on
the edge of the social swamp, are
liable to be precipitated into.

The S0rroxya Of Hannn.

Mark Hanna is fast becoming a man
acquainted with grief" His greatest
source Of discontinue Is found in the
campaign fund. or. rather. in the lack
of 1t. The trusts are acting with some
degree Of independence this year.
Mark Hanna at first went to them and,
demanding money. assured them that
the election of Mckinley was absolute
ly certain. Every we'll" responded the
trust magnates; you have no need Of
money then" And Hanna went off in
q dark room and sat down and thought.
After q brief retirement he emerged
and, going to the trust magnates, said:
'"The situation is desperate. We need
money and lots OF 1t. We fear defeat"
"Ah, is that 500" replied the trust mag
mates. "In that case we must refuse
to place our money upon losing
game" And Hanna again retired to q
dark room and sat down and thought.

RINGING NOTE FOR BRYAN
Prominent Delaware Pastor to Cast His
First Democratic Vote

Rev. Joseph Brown Turner, pastor
OF the Dover Presbyterian church,
Dover, eel, who has announced his
intention u forsake the Republican
party and support the Democratic
ticket, said in an interview few
days ago:
shall vote for VI 3ryan in No
vember, though have never before
voted the Democratic ticket. While !
am somewhat reluctant to talk about
my political relations, see no reason
why should not candidly state some
OF the reasons for my personal convic-
tons and my change of political align
mant at this time.
| "Thc AK is laid at the root OF the
tree under whose shadow we have sat
with delight. 1t is time for every
man who loves free institutions and
true Democratic principles to speak
and keep on speaking. No more
precious legacy ever came to any peo-
pie than that bequeathed by our fore
fathers to all succeeding generations
Of Americans. This generation is in
danger OF belittling that legacy and of
casting it wholly aside.
awe have outgrown the principles
OF our fathers we are told, 'and We
may safely discard them We cannot
keep to the old lines and continue to
expand. We cannot keep inside OF
constitutional limitations and be a
world power. Then we had better not
be world power.
a. am constitutionalist. Until we
change our constitution in the orderly
way provided in the constitution
itself, 1 cannot see anything but over
whelming disaster in a refusal or q
neglect to abide by its guarantees and
restrictions. We have gone ontside Of
those restrictions and guarantees
under the leadership of the present
administration, and what the end may
be under such leadership it is not diff
cult to foresee,
Mr.. Mckinley declares, with hands
uplifted to heaven, that moral reasons
force us to stay in the Philippines for
if we were to withdraw our armies the
people would not be able to govern
themselves. These are the vicious
stages by which we have been led to
an ambitious leadership, lusting for
power and hiding its purposes behind
a wordy fog of pious and patriotic
cant.
"This is why am willing to speak.
This is why I shall cast my ballot for
William J. Bryan as against William
Mckinley.
"They say that Mr.. Bryan is not a
safe man. Possibly he is not. But
when 1 find one man engaged in
breaking up the furniture of my house,
while another is setting fire to the
house itself, I will attend to the fire.
bug first. I do not believe, though,
that Mr.. Bryan is an unsafe man.
His utterances during the whole of
this campaign have been statesman
like and every word has rung true.
His indianapolis speech is the noblest
utterance this nation has ever heard
since Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg. If
he is elected we will be spared the
repetition of the shameful spectacle OF
an administration endeavoring in an
official capacity to perpetuate itself.
He says he will not accept a second
nomination, and 1 believe him. He
speaks like an honest, straightforward,
God-fearing man.

To MAKE the meaning of imperialism
plain by illustration, it may be said
that the American colonies fought the
revolutionary war because of England's
imperialism. The best exposition oil
imperialism extant is to be found in
William Jennings Bryan's notification
speech at indianapolis. Republics
cannot have Subjects" he says: To
tax without allowing representation
to govern without the consent of the
governed-that is imperialism. Amer
lean imperialism is to plant our flag
in an alien land without the constitu'
ton. We have done this, through the
present Republican administration, on
the Philippine islands.

county debt as the Republicans found
it in May. 1892, was $lG,2lG.
The annual interest charge on the
