EXPANSION AND ExPAxsSas-s.

Whatever the right or wrong, the
good or bad, of this expansion business.
the Washington Post hits off the matter
Just right in an editorial in recent is
sue when it says that there is no sort OF
paralleiism between the Louisiana pur-
chase by Thomas jefferson and the pur
chase and permanent possession Of a lot
OF islands thousands Of miles away.
The essential differences lies in the fact
that Louisiana, Texas, California, and
all such territory as we annexed in the
earlier days were part of the hemi-
sphere and contiguous TO the then Unit
ed States. They. were geographically
and otherwise a natural part of the con-
federation of States. The Philippines
are not-nelther for the matter of that,
are Alaska or Hawaii. 1t is quite true,
as asserted by the Republicans and as
claimed by expansion Democrats. that
expansion Is Democratic doctrine and
policy, but the Democratic party and
no Democratic President ever expanded
the limits of the United States beyond
the confines of the continent.

A FAIR LAW.
A Law Satisfactory to all Par
ties in Interest.
Insures Fair Elections.
An OUTLINE OF THE NEW LAW.

House Bill No. Is, was approved by a
Democratic caucus Saturday morning,
and also by Republican caucus, and
was passed the same day by both houses
Ct the Kentucky Legislature, after which
that body adjourned ON Monday. The
provisions of the bill are briefly as fol-
lows:
The appointment by the Governor of
two State Commissioners, one from each
of the dominant parties the Clerk of
the Court of Appeals TO be the third
member, or umpire of the board.
The appointment by the State COY
mission of two County Commissioners
in each county, one from each of the
parties, the sheriff of the county to be
the umpire, and where he cannot serve,
the circuit clerk is TO act,
The appointment of four officers of
election in each precinct, 20 be selected
from lists of eight submitted by each
party, the officers to be equally divided
between the parties. Providing that
there shall be no change of precinct Of
ticers in any precinct within five days
OF the election.
The provisions Of the bill, as accepted
by the majority Of the committee, are
what the Democrats Of the Assembly
have since the beginning of this extra
session been willing to accept and what
the Republicans persistently refused
even TO consider until it became too late
for the law to be put into operation at
the coming November election. A bill
containing practically the same provis-
ions as are embodied in it was offered
to the Senate by Senators Tolin and Ut
ley at the beginning of the session, and
it was voted down by the Republicans
of that body.

Democratic Chances In New York
State.

Mr.. Croker tells his following that
Great..s New York must be carried by
$4,000 to 100000 majority and if this is
done it will more than offset any ma
jority the Republicans can bring down
to Harlem from the State at large. He
seems to think that this can be done,
and that, il it Is, New York will go for
Bryan by a narrow margin.
1t is within the reach OF possibilities
for such a result to be reached. The
city went tor Mckinley in 1896 by 49,
900 majority. The Republicans concede
it to the Democrats now by $4,000 TO
$4,000 majority. This suggests change
of 10000 in the total Deduct that
from the 26S,00O majority given Nc
Klnley four years ago and a margin of
$4,000 is still lett. At Republican
headquarters more or less shrinkage in
the upstate vote is acknowledged.
Senator Platt says this shrinkage will
moi amount TO much more than per
cent. and explains whatever loss there
may be in the cities is almost made up
by Republican gains IN the rural dis
tricts. The mere fact, however, that
IA shrlnkage is admitted by the Repub.
lican leaders must be accorded impor-
lance in making calculations. There
could be falling off OF 20 per cent and
still have a safe Mckinley majority, pro-
vided of course, that Mr.. Croker's ex-
treme estimate of tremendous major
ity in Greater New York Is not made
good. III, however, he can go up to
Harlem with "A $4,000 majority for Bry-
an, TO take the place of $4,000 for Nc
Kinley in 1896, we have positive
change of 236, O00 votes, which would
whittle the Republican majority down
unpleasantly close, if not wipe il out al
together, This is the contingency Mr.
Croker is playing for anu upon which
Colonel Bryan bases his sole remaining
hope for the Presidency. New York

| WASHINGTON, June 1.--At the con

priation of $5,OOO,O00 for the Louisiana

An effort was made TO reduce the amount

ful. An amendment was incorporated
providing for the beginning of the work
on the memorial bridge between Wash
ington and Arlington cemetery, to be
erected in memory Of the dead of both
the Union and Confederate armies.
While the bill carries only 5000, 600 for
the project. it is expected ultimately to
cost about $5.O0O,000.
An amendment also was added to the
measure providing for an adjustment Of
certain claims of the states of New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware. Cali
fornia, Oregon and South Carolina, The
passage Of the sundry civil bill leaves
only two general appropriation bills TO be
acted on by the senate the Military

ure. 1t Is expected they will be passed
by Saturday night.
The house under a special order adopt
cd. after an exceedingly hot debate, in
which the leaders on both sides charged
each other with playing to political gal
leries, entered upon the consideration of
the resolution reported from the Judicial
ry committee proposing constitutional
amendment to lodge in congress the pow
er to define, regulate, control. prohibit or
dissolve trusts, monopolies or combina-
tions. Under the terms of the order yes
terday, with Il night session, was devot-
ed to debate, and today at o'clock the
vote is TO be taken without opportunity
to amend.
Saturday is to be devoted to the bill
to amend the Sherman antitrust law.
The Democrats charged that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment was OBJ
jectionable in every way: that it was Il
mere political pret"Xt; that it was un-
necessary and was proposed at the end
OF the session for election purposes in the
coming campaign. The Republicans re-
pudiated the charge of bad faith.
A constitutional amendment requires
two-thirds vote to adopt, or 236 votes
with the present membership Of the
house. The Republicans have only 1856
votes, % less than the requisite two
thirds.
