Even in Hawaii, which seemed

Mr.. Wilcox c1ay not bs elected, aud
if he is, he may not represent a

POLITICAL NOTES.


ent political parties with the Cover
nor and hi,:advisory council metthis
morning, to discuss the advisability
OF keeping the polls open on elec-
tion day after p. m. and to pro-
vide for more voting booths.
Colonel Mccarthy representing
the Democrats held that the letter
OF the law should be followed iu the
etrictest manner and no opportuni-
ty given to those who might desire
to claim that the election was in
valid. Messrs. Wilcox, Boyd and
Kaulia on behalf OF the Indepeu-
dents took the same view aud Mr..
w. o. Smith who assisted Mr.. Ken
nedy on behalf OF the Republican
party supported Colonel Nc
Cartby.
The Republicans have evidently
found out that the Cooper PROPOSE
tion wouldn't help their lost cause.
Governor Dole suggested that the
8 voters OF the three parties should
divide in three rows outside the
three booths but his Ingenious de-
vice found no support as it was held
that under such circumstances the
main principle of the Australian
voting system, that OF secrecy
would be defeated. Sanford stroke
his beard pensively and remarked
that we don't know anyhow how
they will vote, statement we fully
endorse as far as Mr.. Dole goes. We
know exactly how the cat will jump.

HAvEMEYER HELPING BRYAN.

Can it be possible that President
Havemeyer, of the sugar trust, is try
ing to assist in the election OF Bryan
by advancing the price Of sugar?
There is no doubt that the sugar
trust owes Bryan a debt of gratitude.
II will be remembered that the Ne
braskan, while a member or the u
of representatives in 1894, voted for the
Wilson Tariff bill, which included a
sugar schedule that had been written
by Secretary Carlisle at the dictation
of Mr.. Havemeyer. That tariff bill
was most favorable to the trust, be-
cause it increased the protection on re-
fined sugar to 1907 per cent ad valo-
rem. as against the protection OF l6.l2
per cent afforded by the Mckinley law.
Under the provisions of the WILSON,
German law, for which Bryan voted,
the sugar trust was enabled to monop-
Ollie almost completely the business OF
refining and selling sugar In the United
States. When the Republicans re-
turned to power they passed the Ding
ley bill, in which the d~ifferential duty
on refined sugar was reduced very ma
terially-the reduction being, In fact,
from % to 40 per cent from the differ
entail fixed by the Wilson-G German law.
The favorable conditions enjoyed by
the trust under the schedule OF the
Wilson, German law, which President
Cleveland referred to as a measure that
might possibly look like favoritism to
the trusts, were destroyed. Then Pres
ident Havemeyer tried to get ever with
the Republicans. In his testimony be-
fore the Industrial Commission at
Washington he falsely declared that
protection was the mother Of all trusts,
thus giving the Democrats valuable
ammunition for use during the cam
paign.
Ia it a stretch Of imagination to sup
pose that President Havemeyer is now
trying t help Bryan by forcing up the
price of sugar, the latest increase hav-
ing been a cent a pound, for the sole
purpose of giving the Democratic can
didate a chance to show what n trust
controlling an important necessary OF
life has been able to do under a Re-
publican administration? The sugar
trust has been a frequent contributor
in large amounts to Democratic cam
paign funds, and If the Democratic
party has not it's good will now it is
certainly one of the most u~ngrateful OF
all the big corporations.

wATTERsoN,s PAINFUL FLOP.


On the 10Th of September, 1899, Mr..
Watterson concluded an editorial, in
the Courier-Journal, with this state
ment:
mo party ever threw itself across
and glory and lived to tell the tale, and
no party ever can, or will, or ought"
Ihls statement came at the end OF
an editorial in which Mr., Watterson
said: "Anti-expansion is anti-Democ-
racy. The Democratic party OF Jeffer-
son and Jackson was ever the apostle
OF national expansion. Manifest des-
tiny was its rallying cry. That idea
is none the less living and vital today
than it was fifty, sixty, eighty years
ago"
So much for Mr.. watterson's idea Of
true Democracy a year ago. There was
no timid. hating apprehension about
Imperialism in his Democracy Of Sep
TENDER, 1899, for he went on to say:
"All these new territorial acquisitions
are with us tC stay. They came to us
unbidden. They were sent to us by
that mysterious power to which we
owe all that we are, all that we have.
Who shall say it nay? He that does
this-and the more surely If he be a
party leader-pronounces his W po-
litical damnation."
But that is actually what Chairman
Jones says Mr.. Bryan would do IL he
were president. He would ''say 1t nay"
to the extent of pulling down the flag
in the Philippines and in Puerto Rico.
and abandoning whatever claims, or
interest or title the United States now
possesses In those islands.
A year ago Mr.. Watterson had a
glimpse Of destiny which he expressed
in these words:
"The activities Of the Atlantic are
being gradually but certainly trans
ferred to the Pacific. We are there al
ready. Shall we seize upon the means
of confirming our power which God has
given us, or shall we let them go and
later on, at infinite cost, be obliged to
fight to recover them"
Talk about imperialism, about a
war of conquest. This is a mor ad-
vanced position than the Republican
party has ever thought of assuming. II
has never contemplated fighting to ac-
quire power in the orient. 1t has only
proposed to put down rebellion against
that power which, IS Mr.. WatterSon
says, God has given u.s." and which
we are bound to defend. And the de-
Tending WIS sustained by no one in
1899 nor vigorously and fearlessly
than Mr.. Watterson himself. He then
despised the cowardice which now
hides behind the phantom Of imper-
ialism.'' His theory of successful OPP
position to the Republicans was not
then opposition to the retention OF the
Philippines, but criticism of the con-
duct of the wal and the way in which
it was carried on. OF this he said:
"If we make proper use OF this we
can turn impending defeat into certain
victory. But we can make no such use
of it if we set ourselves against the
war itself and go off on a wild goose
chase after such phantoms as "fmper-
ialism", which nobody contemplates.
To do this is to handicap our cam
paign in every possible way"
And yet Mr.. Watterson is now fol-
lowing meekly in the wake Of Mr.. Bry-
an. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Tillman, min
imizing the issue OF sound money
against which he stood in 1896 and
magnifying the phantom OF imperial

m Of interest in connection with thu
Ethdrawal Of Towne: y" va
The striking and significant fea-
ture Of this part Of the proceed
ipgs was the sarcasm leveled at
| the selection of a Democrat and a
| silver Republican by a Populist
| convention. The singular specta-
/ lie has been presented of a nation
/ al convention yielding its convic-
| tons Of political expediency and
/ wisdom to a mere sentiment foS-
tered by the selfish interests Of two
| United States senator's whose po-
ltical existence is in great peril.
1 Despite the efforts to work up en-
| thusiasm the nomination of Towne
fell fat after a little perfunctory
applause.
Senator Buffers plea for action
here was an impressive plea behind
which could be detected his fever
ish anxiety lest his own personal
fortunes should be jeopardized. AS
be warmed up he intermingled
warning to the Populists with thin
g yelled defiance Of the Democrats.
Il this convention failed in it's
duty he said, the party dies, and
reform dies with it. II the Popu-
lists 60 into this campaign as the
subservient tail to the Democratic
