The Democratic newspapers Of the
country have been fioundering around
fearfuliy since the commencement Of
the trouble In China. eagerly looking
for an opening to attack the admins
tration for some fault OF omission or
commission. They have been seriously
handicapped by the failure of Mr.
Bryan 70 definitely commit himself In
the matter; because. under present con-
ditions, no Democrat could be supposed
to know what his opinions were upon
any question OF national policy until
Mr. Bryan had announced himself. The
personal views Of Mr.. Bryan on all sub
jeots are the only recognized tenets Of
simon-pure Democracy.
Under these peculiar conditions. and
with Mr.. Bryan unkindly Withholding
his views, there has been lamentable
want of unity Of action. among the
brethren. who have been forced to the
expedient of attempting to guess what
attitude Mr. Bryan proposes to assume
when he finally makes up his mind on
the subject Thus a portion of the
Democratic press has laboriously be-
iabored the administration for sending
any troops to China at all. They point
out that this Is another step towards
milltarism; and the fact that American
and British soldiers have fought side
by side in the work Of reseuine the for
eigners In Peking from impending tor
ture and massacre Is pointed to with
due soiemnity as proof positive of an
existing Anglo-American alliance. 9th
ers OF the Democratic newspapers have
taken precisely the opposite tack. and
with as much zeal and as little basis
OF fact. have strenuously attacked the
administration for not having with
drawn the entire army from the Phil
ippInes. left the friendly natives to he
murdered by Aguinaldo's bandits. and
proceeded TO capture Picking single
handed.
As the administration has proceeded
without regard to either OF these oppos-
Ing views. has sent sufficient force TO
China to rescue the imperiled Amerl-
cans. without weakening the army In
the Philippines, and has successfully
performed the first and most pressing
portion OF the work Of dealing with the
Chinese situation. Il Is time for these
critics 10 agree on a common ground Of
attack IL Is likely the oracle and man
ufacturer of Democratic policies will
soon speak. ana II requires no deep in
tuition to guess what policy he viii sug-
gest. AZ strenuous advocate OF the
scuttle policy IN the Philippines. 1t Is
safe TO infer that he VIII advocate the
same policy for China Within brief
period IL is a safe guess that all OF the
Democratic newspapers viii be Joining
In the common cry that with the rescue
Of the Americans in Picking the work
OF this country in China Is accomplish

at once: that American business inter-
ests must look out for themselves. that
this country must clear out and let the
rest Of the wood settle the whole Chit
nsse matter as they viii. without re-
gard 10 those interests.

ing to answer grows larger. OF the
living there are now less than 100000.
ana last year the loss was over 1000,
or more than per cent. A large ma
jority OF those who wore the blue are
now well along in years. and the rec
ords of mortality in the great organiza-
ton are likely soon TO show startling de-
pletions in the ranks A few short years

It is well that these occasions be

lions, a greater love OF liberty. more
widespread loyalty, and an intense de-
votion 10 the flag Is due in no small de-
