Now that the work Of the mission
aries in China is suspended by military
operations they are, temporarily at
least, out of a job. Why would It not
be a good idea to recall them and send
them down among those communities
within our borders where such a con-
dition Of savagery exists that the peo-
PIE find delight in the sanguinary sport
known as "lynching.' This is carried
out under certain rules. First, a man
usually a black one-is accused Of
some crime-any crime will do, since
no evidence IS demanded. Then he IS
seized and thrown into prison. This
adds zest TO the sport that follows.
The next step is for the lynchers to
costume themselves, usually a black
or white face mask being considered
sufficient, proceed to the prison and
go through the formality Of demanding
the victim from the jailor. To make
1t more interesting, this funetionary
sometimes denies the request, but this
is usually expected. The next step is
to take the victim-any black man who

1t was, indeed, most interesting de-
eision which was delivered by the
United States district court in New
York concerning the political status OF
Puerto Rico. The question arose un-
der the tariff laws, and the opinion OF
the court is. in effect, that the conquest
of Puerto Rico gave a military title
only to the island and did not in
corporate it within the United States
or extend our institutions beyond the
limits assigned them by the legisla-
tive power. Our boundaries could not
be regulated By the varying incidents
Of war and be enlarged or diminished
as the armies on either side advanced
or retreated.'
Acquisition Of territory. the court
holds, does not constitute incorpora-
ton with the Union. This is accom-
plished either by an incorporation of its
inhabitants into the Union or by an ex-
tension Of our laws and institutions
throughout the territory-by treaty OF
by legislative act. Former acquisitions
By treaty have provided for the in
corporation Of the inhabitants Of the
acquired territory into the Union, but
the treaty of Paris left the political
status of the inhabitants of Puerto
Rico to the determination Of congress,
which has not yet taken definite action.
While. therefore, the treaty confirmed
the title Of the island in the United
States. it left the status of the inhabi-
tants unchanged, they being still in
habitants of foreign country as re-
CARDS the constitution of the United
States and within the meaning of the
tariff acts. though as to foreign na-
tions Puerto Rico is a part of the
United States.
1t will be observed that this opinion
of Judge Townsend is in accordance
with the position assumed by the re-
publican majority in congress in the
debate on the tariff for Puerto Rico,
and takes no account Of the theory
that the constitution extends, "ex pro-
prio vigore," to all acquired territory.
There is a disposition to make this a
political issue, but in the courts It is
presumably treated upon constitutional
and legal grounds alone.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub-
licans at Philadelphia. while not as
emphatic and unequivocal as was
hoped It would be. is. nevertheless, a
fairly comprehensive statement of par
ty doctrine.
1t in no way compromises with the
enemy. as all the contentious. principles
and traditions that have characterized
the Republican position on national is
sues since the days Of Lincoln were
warmly supported in every line.
The financial and territorial expan-
sion planks, however. could have teen
more explicit with greater honor to
the party. The majority of thinking
people Of the United States have made
known their position on the matter Of
national finance and it is unques-
tionably in favor of the gold standard.

MKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

The nominees Of the Philadelphia con-
vention present the strongest ticket
that could have been chosen. The re-
nomination Of William Mckinley. for
the first place. for months has been
an assured fact. The unparalleled pros
perity which has visited the country
under his administration has. in itself,
been sufficient to make him the assur-
ed leader of his party Representing,
as he does. in his own personality,
the quintessence Of republican doctrine,
the harmonious completion of great
movements now under way and running
successfully under his control would
make most unwise the selection Of an
other leader. however wise and capa-
Bile he might be. at this formative per-
iod in our history. To carry cut to
a successful consummation the policies
newly developed. the safe and careful
guide who has led the American peo-
pie triumphantly thus far can best be
trusted.
In Theodore Roosevelt the younger
element which has enabled the repub-
lican party to put into execution on the
battlefield the plans and principles care
fuzzy thought out by its maturer minds,
viii find its ablest and most popular
representative. A man of tried abil-
ity. unquestioned integrity. sturdy
manhood and untiring energy. Roose-
Welt viii be a sure winner with the
people. and add materially to the re-
publican vote in November.

With this knowledge in view, there.
fore. there was no just or reasonable
cause why the Republican platform
should not, have come out boldly and
uneauivocaly for sound and honest
money, ignoring the International
agreement bugbear Of insincerity and
folly.
The Astorlan has always conteaded
that the great political parties. wheth-
er their policies be good or bad, should
come out boldly and frankly in sup.
port OF their respective principles, for
in no other way can great issues be
distinctly and honestely decided, 1t is
in this spirit that it expresses regret
that the national leaders did not take a
stand squarely upon the firm rock of
the gold standard,
Then, too, there should have been
more vim and positiveness in the dec
larations concerning the question Of
expansion The policy Of the Re
publican party has been clearly out
lined in the course pursued by the
administration during the past two
years, The American people have en-
dorsed it and the convention should
have firmly sustained 1t in language
which could permit of no mislnterpre-
tation.
However, the people of this country
do not have to refer to written dec
laration Of party principles to deter
mine the position of Mr.. Mckinley.
MIR. Roosevelt. or even congress. on
the great issues which confront them
in this campaign. Mr.. Mckinley has
been in office for nearly four years and
by his works the people know and
judge him. He can be depended upon
to be Just as faithful to public in
terest, Just as earnest and as sincere in
his endeavors to be president for all
the people as he ever was.
