GENERAL WHEELER AND
COLONIES.

s v.
Z There has been a disposition on the
part of the Republicans to star General
Wheeler as the Democratic champion
of administration policies. When dis
posed to talk, and he has not been par
ticularly coy. he has experienced no
difficulty In getting his conversations
at the top of column" in the Repub-
lican organs. because his voice has
heretofore been for holding the Philip
pines at any cost.
1t must. therefore. be the occasion
of some chagrin to his voluntary press
agents that the pugnacious Congress-
man should turn at this day and throw
the harpoon into the pet Republican
scheme of Colonial system, governed
by syndicates; discrediting. at the same
time, the assertion that the Filipnos
are unit for self government, a plea
that has been the chief justification
offered for the war now in progress.
Speaking OF the islands, General
Wheeler says:
II am in favor of territorial govern
ment, and I see nothing homogeneous
In making these various islands into
territories
OF the capacity Of the inhabitants
for self-government he says:
II consider the Flipnos n very supe-
rior people-a people with great posi-
bilities. They are ambitious; many of
them have been finely educated in Eu-
rope; they are not to be spoken of in
the same breath with the Africans SO
nlac CT hill Il; a
them are already fit for self-govern-
ment in local affairs, and under terri
torial governors appointed by us they
would get along very we'll, am sure
Coming at time when the Colonial
scheme is already groggy from bout
with public sentiment. this deiverance
of General Wheeler. who has had
abundant opportunity to know whereof
he speaks, is especially unknd.
General Wheeler, however, does not
stop at the assertion that the Philip
pines should be governed as territories,
which means government under the
Constitution. but goes on to say:
ION the question of ultimate annexa-
ton or the remote future of the Philip
pines, L am not yet prepared to speak,"
AS General Wheeler was quoted i'm
mediately after his arrival in Manila
as In favor of anneXing the islands, it
would seem that period Of residence
therein has dampened his ardor for an
neXation.
General Wheeler's revised views will
find small favor with the administra-
ton. Governed as territories. the Phil
ippines could send their products to the
United States DUTY FREE. What
would the Trusts do to the administra-
ton in such case?

NO HOPE OF CONSTITUTIONAL
REVISION BY THE PROCESS OF
LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENT" And
we would like to know why! Is the
Landmark with the crowd that SEEM
ed to want to amend to suit itself and
keep the whole thing from the peo-
pie?
In any event, by some means. the
Legislature did not act, and so the
only hope now Of early relief is by q
convention. which the vlrginian- Pilot
accepted as a party measure. BUT
WITH THE EXPRESS PROvISO
that, concurrent with the recommen-
dation. and FORMING A PART
THEREOF. should be the further
recommendation, THAT THE NEW
CONSTITUTION SHALL BE SUB
M1TTED TO THE PEOPLE. 1t was by
this proviso that the people could be
assured of a chance to vote upon the
new Constitution; for, by 1t. the Con-
vention, if held. would be committed to
submitting it's work to the people. Ex-
cepting. therefore, the expense of the
Convention, the people will have seen
their every contention answered favor
ably. This paper asks for no more.

WHEN GEORGIA REPUBLICANS
MEET.
ATLANTA Constitution.)


When the Republicans OF Georgia,
after being turned out of the State
lofllces, turned their attention to secur-
ing the Federal patronage for the ben
eft of handful of white Republicans,
| convention was held in the old Capt.
toll building which stood al the corner
OF FORSYTH and Marietta streets. 1t
was a motley crowd One of the dele
gates from Chatham, Il fine-looking
mulatto, took the floor, and went to n
temporary platform that had been
erected in front of the speakers desk
lie was dressed in the height of fash
ion, and used good language.
He was proceeding at some length,
when n tall black negro, wearing u
long linen buster. rose in the back part
Of the hall and yelled out: MIR. Cheer.
Mr.. Cheer! Oh Mister Cheer!"
THE gentleman is out of order said
the chairman. Blu; the tall negro had
already resumed his seat. The dele
gate from Chatham had some difficulty
in picking up the thread of his argu-
ment, so loud and sudden had been the
interruption, but he finally found it and
was running along serenely. when the
tall negro rose and lifted up his voice
again. MIR. Cheer! Mr.. Cheer! oh,
Mister Cheer! IF you don't make dat
ar mulatter hush his mouf. I'm gwiue
ter come down dar an pull him Off II
dat natform. He lots too slick fer ter
suit me-"
This was the signal for pandemonium
to be turned loose. The delegates yell
cd and howled and beat the desks with
their canes and umbrellas, and no bus
mess whatever would have been trans
acted IL ]. e. Bryant of Maine. had
not fixed n lot of resolutions which the
chairman declared adopted, though
they were never even presented to the
convention.

PROSPERITY.

Those who are resting their hopes
OF Republican victory on prosperity are
trusting to a broken reed. Yet even
many Democrats look on this as the
strong point in the situation for the
Republicans.
The doctrine of letting we'll enough
alone has. in reality, very little weight
with the average man. He always
wants something better. 1t is much
easier to scare or coercc or bride the
man in trouble and want than the man
with a sufficiency for himself and his
loved ones. Both the voters and the
election boards will be more coura &C.
Gus. more conscientious, more calm,
more incorruptible in 1900 than in 1896.
In hard times the issues involved in
campaign do noe get n fair hearing.
Preaching to men With empty stom-
achs makes few conversions The COM
ing campaign will be a campaign of
education far more truly than was the
last one. Now men will listen and dis
passionately judge.
In short, prosperity Is the chief item
of Democratic assets. not Republican.

little investigation. We have
laid away the destroyer because
we discoveld that there had been
no material change in the tariff
on paper during the last quarter
Of a century, and that it is today
practically the same as under the
free trade Wilson bill. That
took the venom out of our sys-
tenn. We also found that the tar

one cent on the pound, and that
Il that whole amount were added
to the price it would effect our
business only about IS cents a

discovered that paper is actually
costing less in this country than il
is in England where they don't
have any Chinese wall Of a tariff,
and trusts just grow naturally
without any Republican sponsor.

FOR WASHIN S BIRTHDAY
Captain Wells win Lecture For the
Benefit Of the College Has
Been Especially Requested.

In response to the earnest solicisa-
lions Of many people, who were un-
able to attend his lecture delivered
in the, College assembly room, Captain
Wells has consented to repeat it at tho
Opera house. The lecture at the Col
lege was highly interesting and In
strnctiVe, giving as it did graphic re-
sumo of the Captains experiences while
confined in, the famous Libby military
prison, and the thrilling account of his
escape. The Captains style is easy and
entirely unaffected. He tells his story
in simple and pleasing way and holds
an audience well. But. this will all
come out at his lecture next Thursday
evening, at the opera house. We want
to say emphatically the sole purpose
of this lecture is to let those hear it who
could not possibly attend a. the College
on account Of a lack of room. The
Captain makes no:charge for his ssrvi.
ces and If there should be anything ov-
or after paying actual expenses, such
as rent of opera house, the'same win be
donated to the College. The prices to
be fixed will be very low and important
object is to get out as many young peo,
pie and school children as possible: for
tine is rapidly passing when it " i'll be
impossible for them to hear story of .
veteran. The whole community should
resolve itself into a committee to urge
attendance: Music will be furnished
