now THE MUGWUMPS STAND.

Some newspapers like the Baltimore
Sun and the st. Paul Globe refuse to
give their support to Mr.. Bryan in the
coming election. 1t is doubtful wheth
er their support means much either way
As illustrative Of the influence the Sun
yields one need only point to the fact
that prior to 1855, for possibly ten years,
it had been vainly trying to overthrow
Mr. German from the control of the
Democratic party in Maryland. The
sledge hammer blows the paper dealt
fell as harmlessly on the popularity Of
the then senior senator rs pebble
thrown into the bosom Of the ocean.
While the Sun claimed t. be Democratic,
indeed the bible of Maryland Democra-
Cy, it was de faCtO a mugwump organ
and il still retains that character. This
organ Of shallow pretenses and veneer
politics now throws up its hands and
cries out as if in wilderness of woe
save the house of representatives, but
to its noxious conscience, it doesn mat
ter if the rest of the ticket goes to the
demOnition bow vows. Such policy is
not characteristic of Democracy and
can never be. A paper of its kind had
better be outside the party battlemcnts.
1t stands IN inept chattering and shiv-
ering pupDet nervelessly facing the
enemy; too cowardly to openly oppose
the party and too supine and self seek
ing to align itself with the other side.
Give Ms II good square enemy who fights
for principles, even if wrong from our
view point and we can admire him, but
save us from the truculcnt hcdger, who
swallows one half of the Democratic
doctrine and leaves the other half on
the platter apparently covered by n nap
kin Of sophistry.

WHO PROF. MEYERS IS.

The Importance of Prof. b H. Meyer $
communication printed in last weeks
issue of The Pilot on the advantages to
be gained by consolidating the high
schools of the city into Il central system
is that he has inspected all the schools
of this locality. The professor is secre
tary of the Committee on Accredited
High Schools and part of his duties is
to inspect high schools aud to make re
ports thereon. Some two years ago he
made his temporary home in Manitowoc
for ten days, during which time he gave
lectures in the interest of the University
extension While in the city he investi-
gated the high school system in vogue
here, hence his letter bears the imprim-
allure of authority, and his conclusions
should carry weight.

LET THE WISCONSIN EXPLAIN.

In marked contrast with the course of Bryan,
the Democratic candidate for the presidency,
il the conduct of William Mckinley, the X, pub
lican candidate toward the Philadelphia con
vcntion which rcnOminatcd him for the presid-
cncy. Mckinley had nothing to do with our
platform. It was framed by the delegates chos-
On by the people. The President was not CON
suited as to single plank IN that platform.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
The above quotation is taken from the
Evening Wisconsin, usually II reliable
journal but in this instance it displays
either positive ignorance or unsCrupul-
ous deception. The statement is nothing
shortof II lie, and its iniquty is increased
i'll that it attempts to illicitily minimize
one candidate to the gloritication Of an
another. And the Wisconsin editor
would have rs believe that Mr.. McKin-
ley is homeless whiifet, whose over
weening vanity for Office enables him to
digest any set Of principles thrust at him.
In other words the Wisconsin says the
Presidents mind is rs receptive and in
ordinate rs the stomach of II Harlan
goat, allowing it to readily assimilate
the tin cans and scrap iron of the Re
publican garbage pile.
If it is true that Mr. Bryan was ac-
quainted with the language of the Dem
ocratic platform before its adoption then
was he II wise and honest man, qualities
in contradistinction to those the Re
publicans ascribe to Mr.. Mckinley.
If the Wisconsin Editor will read last
weeks papers he will find parallel col
umns, showing the Republican platform
~ it first issued from the brain of Char
les Emory Smith and how it looked after
the President got through with it, and
which was adopted by the Philadelphia
convention,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE SACRIFICED.

Mr. Mckinley in replying to the noti'
iicaton speech Of Senator Lodge said;
In the great conference Of nations ut
The Hague we reaiiirmed before the
world the Monroe doctrine and our AID
hcrcnce to il and our determination not
to participate in the complications of
Europe We have happily ended the
European alliance in Samoa, securing to
ourselves one OF the most valuable har
borS in the Pacific ocean, while the open
door in China gives to fair and equal
Orient
If the policy of the Republican party
is not M abrOgatiOn of the Monroe doc
trinc we ask what is it, The president
.ays It is Our determination not to par
ticipatr in the complications OF Europe,
vet in the very next sentence he re
marks, We have happily ended the
European alliarCc III Samoa proving
conclusively that the Republican adj
ministration did mix in the politics of
the old world, or it could not have end
ed II European alliance in Samoa. Then,
il must not be forgotten that the acqui
-ition of territory in the Orient and the
iutcrmcddling of affairs in China, brings
rs within the circle If political activi-
tee Of Europe and this fact alone is in
exorabIe proof that the Monroe doctrine
is sacrificed to the imperialistic purposes
and needs of the Republican party.
Mr. Mckinley speech all the way
through has the ear marks of self-lau-
datior and dcmagogery He betrays
that rcpcllcnt vanity which assumes that
all the political sagaclty of the country
il focused in his hat II is well for the
Republic that the voters take the chief
executive. not mt his own estimate. hut
at theirs. and should infortuous condi
tions conspre TO bring about his reelec-
ton this fact can be set down ~ unas-
sailAblc. that the accumulated wealth of
the trusts were at his Disposal and that
the money was illicitly used by his
agents to swing elections. OF course,
we ARE sanguine that the vast majority
of the people cannot be tempered with
even 10y the glamoring display of riches.

itowoc county is called upon to support,
and there is no doubt that he will re-
ceive IN overwhelming endorsement at
the polls.
Some pessimists have thought that
Mr. Davidson's majority in the last
election was SO large as to make certain
his reelection, but the fact is that the
majority secured by the Republican CON
gresham when compared to the total
vote cast is very insignificant In 1898
the entire vote polled was 31,525. Mr..
Davidson received 20 lO1, Mr.. Stewart,
1863 and Mr. Clark, Prohibitionist. 1873,
Davidson's plurality being 3,42S.
In II district such as this, and with a
candidate of such merit and popularity,
who stands upon platform supported
by the pillars of the constitution; who
unwaveringly contests the Republican
efforts to make this military country
and who will do all he can to secure
congressional help to push Manitowoc
to the front as the greatest lake port,
should have I'M easy victory.

seek to cloak by the veil of spurious pa
