WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. Army Off
GERS, old soldiers, foreigners, and, in
fact everybody who examines the sit
nation, cannot understand the desire
evinced on the part of certain people to
trail the United States flag in the dust,
and to do everything they can to dis
credit our administration at home and
abroad. The men who would play poll
tics in the Chinese situation when the
administration is doing It's very best to
maintain the honor and dignity of our
country to keep the flag unsullied. are
the worst possible hypocrites, or else
they are decidedly unpatriotic.
When Cleveland delivered his famous
nltimatum in regard to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, there was not voice
raised in this country against him. No
one injected partisan politics into that
foreign embrogho. The fact is the
Democrats are trying to mix the Chi
nese situation with the Philippine situa-
ton, and couple both together to create
an 'imperialistic bugaboo' for the
purpose of frightening voters into the
Democratic camp. The probabilities
are that it will be found that American
citizens are proof against any such
petty deceit, and that they will not only
remain pure patriots. but will look after
their best interests III supporting the
Republican party and maintaining the
prosperity which that PARTY has brought
to the country.
