Yonnr Men in This Campaign.

When Mr. Richard Croker, In snort
talk before the democratic club or New
York. pointed out the great importance
Of the trust question in its relation to
the young men Of the country. he gave
further evidence OF the practical grasp
of polit;cal conditions that is one of
the chief elements in his success as q
leader.
The questions involved in this cam
naign are OF vast importance TO the
voung men of America and both par
lies will make a strong effort TO secure
their votes. One Of the strongest con-
siderations which impe,led the nomina-
ton OF Theodore Roosevelt at Phila-
delphia was that he would appeal TO
the Young vote" and in their calcula-
tions the republican managers conf
Sentlv count upon their ability TO cap
ture the support OF this element. They
are now declaring with emphasis their
conviction that every man OF twenty
one who casts a vote for the first time
will be found in republican ranks and
that it will be extremely hard for any
man under thirty, no matter what his
affiliations, to escape.
There can be no mistaking the issues
as they are presented TO the young men
by tn ;wo parties. On the one hand
the republicans present Roosefelt,
whose fake hunting OF big game in the
west-for magazine purposes only
whose khaki uniform. and whose sin
gle handed capture OF the Spanish ar
NV are expected TO blind their eyes to
everything else. lie is heralded as the
ideal of Young manhood. the one thing
that ever happened; and the young men
are expected to rush madly into the
republican party solely because the OPP
portunity is presented OF voting for
Teddy" graeiously furnished by Mr..
Hanna.
IL is an insult to the intelligence Of
those to whom this sort of appeal is
made. but Il may catch the unthinking.
There is everything in the democratic
attitude 10 appeal to those who stop 20
think. As Mr.. Croker pointed out, the
great issue from the young man stand
point is that OF the loss of opportunity
under the trust system, which is the
outgrowth of republican policies and
which will be fastened upon the coun-
try for all time by republican success.
The openly acknowledged purpose OF
the trusts is TO cut down the expense
of production by reducing to the mini
mum the number of persons employed
and paying them the lowest possible
wages or salaries. The sitting OF COM
petition under the policy for which Nc
KinIey stands has not only thrown
out OF employment many thousands Of
men who have in the past been able to
earn excellent livelihoods, but it has
practically closed the doors to the
thousands of young men just ready

The Chinese Crisis.

IL the Americans in PeIin are still
alive and waiting for the relief that is
no nearer Pekin now than it was a
month ago, the syndicated administra-
tion will have to face terrible respon-
sibility. Why have the Americans in
Pel1in been left at the mercy of armed
mobs and marauders? Simply that
the administration may carry out the
terms of the recent treaty with Great
Britain which the Right Hon. Sir John
Hay has negotiated with Joe Chamber
lain.
A democratic administration. free
from secret alliance with the Britls j
gold stealers and land grabbers. would
have made arrangements with Japan a
month ago by means of which an am
pie force, marching under the United
States flag. would have rescued our
own and all foreign residents of Pekin,
and would have brought them out in
safety. perhaps without any blOOdshed.
But there was no democratic admin
istration to act promptly. The syndi-
Gates that control the republican lead
ers are themselves controlled by Lom-
bard street in London and they were
bound to tag at the coat tails of John
Bull, who. with his main army eXiled
I'm South Africa, is nearly crazy for
fear some power of respectable strength
will take advantage of the handicap.
Controlled by the syndicates. the re-
publican administration has been walt
ing for the British TO give the word,
and the lives OF hundreds of Americans
have hung and are still hanging on
the slender thread OF England's initla-
tive.
1t was perfectly well known in
Washington as early as the first week
in Nav that the time had arrived for
the government TO take prompt steps
to assure the safety of Americans IN
China. The danger was dinned into
the ears of the administration by men
who were known to speak authorlta-
lively on the subject, but the admin
istration was deaf TO all warnings. If
some one had informed Hay that
British interests were in danger that
great man would have had an ague' but
the danger only applied to American
citizens. and so the cabinet simply sat
down and waited for the British i'm
perialists TO act.
Meanwhile the country is facing
crisis. while Mr.. Mckinley Is drinking
weak tea and smiling over the fence at
his neighbors. Hanna says no extra
session of congress is needed; that the
emergency Is one which the admins
tration (meaning himself and his syn
dicates) is able TO deal with, no mat
tor what shane IL may take.

Discussing Bad Water.

The Mauila Times. which claims con-
sideratioM as an American journal, al
though printed upon the opposite face
OF the globe. has entered upon a discus
sion of water.
There was once a Kentucky colonel
who is said to have objected to the
classification of bad whisky" There
is whisky" said the colonel senten-
tiously. "and better whisky. but bad
whisky is not found in Dan1 Web
ster's book" Paraphrased from the
Kentucky colonel. The Manila Times
objects TO the existence OF good water.
There is bad water and worse. but for
a wholesome drink get the pure alco-
hol." When water las thus been dis
posed OF the editor goes on to say:
That alcohol when Of good quality and
properly used is beneficial rather than in
furious is shown by a glance at the map
OF the word and "A comparison of results.
Returning from the map the editor
declares that the drinking peoples are
stronger than those who do not indulge
I'm sp;rituous refreshment, and reveals
the great discovery that "stimulants do
stimulate" Water is so frequently bad
in the Philippines" says the editor,
'tn3t IL ranks as one Ol lnc ldISeSL
causes Of death" Then he adds gloomi-
ly: Say what you like about boiling
and filtering, and all that, the fact re-
mains that water drinking kills thou
sands every year"
IL must be evident from all this that
there is a wide field for some of our
more ardent prohibitionists in the Phil
ippines. There was a time in Georgia
when pretty much the same condition
existed. Before the era Of artesian wells
in the southern part of the state the
whisky drinking colonel proudly eX-
cused his failing by throwing all the
blame upon the water. 1t was through
commiseration for the families Of the
aforesaid colonels that Mr.. John p.
Fort sunk a we'll near Albany, and
found water that was fit to drink. Ever
since the whisky habit has declined,
but still the colonels talk Of the good
old days when public opinion did not
confine their libations 10 well water.
Would it not be well for the govern
ment to send Mr.. Fort to the Philip
pines to discover water that is fit for
the boys to drink?
The Atlanta constitution., 1900-07-30
Our Morning Cup of Tea.

Most people have probably over
looked the danger which threatens
their morning cup of tea from the
present Chinese troubles.
An intimation from the Chicago GUS
tom house points to crisis in tea
drinking. The anticipation of rise in
the price of tea as q result OF the war
has caused an enormous withdrawal OF
this commodity. So great have been
the Withdrawals that the collections
OF duties for the past ten days have
reached figure almost unprecedented.
On Monday the customs collections
were S44, 900. Every day OF the present
month has shown larger collections
than tho corresponding period a year
ago. The collections have been coming
in at the rate of over $780, 900 per week
and the officers of the service feel sure
that the high water mark OF SS,O00,0OO
for the last fiscal year will be exceeded.
Although most of the teas used in this
part of the country come from Japan,
the quantity received from China is
considerable. Tho war is likely to affect
the japanese shipments as well as
those from China, because of the char
tering OF all vessels for transporting
troops. Taking all those conditions in
to consideration the dealers in teas feel
certain that a sharp rise in prices will
soon come, and they are getting their
stocks in hand in order to be prepared
for the rise and it's accompanying in
creased profits.
II must be evident that thrifty per-
sons should lay in stock of their ia
yorite brands before the prices are
marked up by the alert merchants.
The Atlanta constitution., 1900-07-30

tion is keen to carry it out. If the "ofil-
cial announcement" in regard to a
constitutional convention for Cuba
means no more than Mr.. McKinley's
official declaration in regard to the ne
cessity OF free trade for Porto Rico,
1t certainly doesn't amount to much.
From our point of view, the Ameri-
can people have every reason to be
suspicious Of the designs of the admin
istratiOn with respect to Cuba. 1t is
well known that many veiled projects
await the popular Endorsement of Mr..
Mckinley which the syndicates hope
to bring about by fair means or foul.
Such Endorsement. by whatever means
it may be secured. will be taken by the
syndicateS and trusts as giving them a
free hand in all directions.
With respect to Cuba it must be ad-
mitted that 1t presents a very inter
esting and profitable field for the car
pet-bag element. Already rich returns
have rewarded those who have charge,
as has been demonstrated in the Rath-
bone and Neely cases. That robbery,
with the circumstances attending IL, Is
simply warning to the rest of the
carpet -baggers that they must change
their methods. They are to be bold, but
not too bold.
The Neely case hangs fire because
the United States authorities in CUBA
cannot prevail on the United States
authorities in this country to deliver
Neely for trial. Was ever such q farce
enacted before in the history of the re-
public?
We confidently believe that the cleo
ton OF the republican candidates VIII
postpone Cuban independence 1or
many years.

and anxious to enter upon a business
career.
The young man of today has no.
where to turn but to some trust. He
must take his chances to become a low
salaried employee of some giant cor
poration. with little opportunity for
bettering his condition. There is moth
ing in the prospect to inspire ambition.
The republican party is owned ana
controlled by these interests and the
reelection of Mckinley will strength
en- their power for harm to the people
harm to the young men In particular.
This is one of the great issues of the
campaign and it is not going to be
showed into the background either by
the efforts of the president and his
lieutenants to igI.' % it, or by the howl
about Rooseve nd San Juan Hill.
The dangers of republican success must
come home to every young man who
considers the question at all: and the
majority of young men are not so shall
low or so silly as to cast theiC ballots
in so great an emergency without con-
sideratiOn.

press are certainly ill-timed. The Eng
lish editors. who understand so many
things, should certainly understand the
position in which national campaign
places Mr.. Mckinley. He cannot afford
to allow his British tendencies to
come too prominently to the surface.
He is in ticklish position; he is
candidate for reelection and circum-
stances are such as to compel him to
be more than unusually diplomatic.
We trust. however. the able editors
will not suffer from over-anxiety. He
may be trusted to stand by the terms
of the secret understanding which Sir
John Hay is said to have negotiated
with Lord Salisbury. Mr.. Mckinley
will pan out all right for the British II
he is reelected.

Cuban independence.

The New York Commercial Advertis-
er recognizes the fact that there has
been considerable incredulity on the
part of our people with respect to the
purpose OF the present administration
to carry out the pledge of Independence
made to the people of Cuba. but says
that this feeling should yield to the
official announcement that a constitu-
tional convention is to be held in the
island within the next nine months.
The Advertiser goes on to say that
there is no justification for it in Amer
lean history, and no precedent for the
act of insincerity that this government
was supposed to be preparing. That is
undoubtedly true, but neither is there
any justification or precedent for the
imperial policy which the republican
administration has announced. Who
would have supposed that our "benevo-
lent and "best beloved president"
would have turned his back in May on
what he declared % be our plain duty
in December?
AS for the Cuban pledge, it is not by
any means certain that the administra-

The English papers are not pleased
with Mr.. McI<inley's reply to China's
note inviting this country to mediate
with the great powers. The presidents
remarks are not altogether what was
expected from an administration which
has watched with undisguised approval
the destruction of the South African re-
public, and which is itself entering up
on a policy of Imperialism.
