We condemn and denouncc the Philippine
policy Of the present administration Il has
involved the republic in unnecessary war,
sacrificed the lives Of many Of our noblest

now pending before the American people is

The declaration Of the Republican plat.

party 's,eadfastly adheres to the policy an
nounoed in the Monroe doctrine" is mani.
fes,ly iusneere and deceptive The pro,
feSsion is eon,radieted 10y the avowed
policy of that party in opposition to the
Spiri, of the Monroe doctrine to acquire
and hold sovereignty over large areas of
territory aud large numbers of people in the
Eastern Hemisphere. We insist on the
strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine.
and in all ITS integrity, both in letter and in
spirit as necessary TO prevent the extension
of European authority ON this continent and
as essential To our supremacy in American
affairs. At the same time we declare that
no American people shall ever he held by
force in unwilling subjeelion TO European
authority.
We oppose militarism. II means conquest
abroad aud intimidation and oppression Al
home. II means the strong arm which has
ever been fatal to free institutions. II is
what millions of our citizens have fled from
IN Europe. II will impose upon our peace
loving people large standing army and
unnecessary burden of taxation and a con.
stantmenacc to their liberties
a sAfE MILITARY SYSTEM.
A small standing army and we'll dis.
eiplined State militia are amply sufficient in
time Of peace
This Republic has no place for vast
military service aud conscription When the
nation is in danger the volunteer soldier is
his eountry's best defender. The national
guard of the United States should ever be
cherished in the patriotic hearts of free
people. Such organizations are ever an
element of strength and safety. For the
first time in our his ory and co-evi with the
Philippine conquest has there been whole
sale departure from our me-honored aud
approved system of volunteer organization.

SHE HAS A NEW VALlSE.
Why She Bought 1t and Why, Also,
She VIII Not Lend 1t.

Why She Bought 1t and Why, Also,
She VIII Not Lend 1t.
A Portland woman tells this story,
which may have moral:
Several years ago her husband made
her present of travelling bag made
of black Russia leather, handsomely
mounted and strong and serviceable.
She had had it only few days when
the sister-in-law of her boarding mis-
tress borrowed 1t to take with her to
the White mountains. It looked so
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
going to take little journey up
among the hills of Oxford county beg
ged the loan Of it, and again it was
taken down from "the upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make
visit of few weeks in Montreal.
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ished, and still it's owner had had no
occasion to carry it.
One evening a favorite cousin called.
He was captain Of brig which was
to sail for the coast Of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have a valise she wouldn't need for
six months or SO? Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced, and that
was the last time the lady saw 1t for
two years, when it reached her by the
hand Of a sailor from the brig. But it
was in such a battered and forlorn
condition that she consigned it to the
waste barrel.
In the meantime she had bought a
new valise, which she declined to lend.

EDITORS NOTE.

We devote our editorial page to e.
tracts from Franklin Matthew's expose
of Tammany Hall as published in tt e
current number of Harper's Weekly.
The corruption OF Tammany would be
of little interest to Iowa voters were it
not for the fact that the only hope OF
Mr.. Bryan in this election is through
an unholy alliance with this organiza-
ton. If Bryan is elected, Tammany
will surely have a large controlling
force in the affairs of the Nation as
we'll as of New York City. If you vote
for Bryan you give your sanction to
this worst of political. bribe-taking
gang of thieves. The article is eXplic-
4 it in it's terms and no man would have
dared to write it unless he had the
absolute proofs behind him. 1t is a
terrible story of moral turpitude and
shows plainly where the money is TO
come from by which it Is hoped to
have New York City give big major

~AMMANY HALL has become
supreme in the Democratic
party of New York state. Never
before has it dominated completely
the state management of its party.
How did it succeed? Bluntly, it
had the money, and its opponents
in the state, not having any office
holders to assess, not having any
share in ''ground-hoor" stock spec
ulations, not having power to levy
tribute from public treasures
through the increase of salaries,
through the partial fulflment of
public contracts and the like, not
having opportunities for certain
kinds of political blackmail, had no
money, and the side with the fat
purse and the power to punish
treachery won. Every one who
knows politics in New York state
knows how it was done. The
"wide-open" town, the plumber
from contracts and stock-market
s.grafts," have given Tammany
hall its supremacy in state politics,
have made its leaders rich men,
and now in the great game of poll
tics they are looking toward Wash
ington. Take away its blackmail
tribute, many of its leaders would
be poor, its power would be Grip
pied, and common decency would
not be the loser.
Every few months some news
paper in New York city discovers
that the town is wide open. There
have been two such discoveries
within year. In each cash there
has been a tremendous agitation.
In each case, Bernard ]. York,
president of the Police Board, has
been a most surprised man. This
town bad? Why, such a thing
must not be. And forthwith the
order has gone to Devery, the no.
torious man who is Chief of Police,
to be good and have the town made
good. And Devery has hustled
around. During the last agitation,
when it was discovered that a
ssGamblers' Syndicate" ran the
town, as it practically does in GER
tain lines, Devery began to raid
the dining rooms of first class no.
tells because they had music in
them, forsooth. 1t raised storm,
but it did the trick. Gambling
went on, pool-rooms that had been
closed opened again under police
protection, blackmail of people in
certain houses and of others who
walked the streets went on, petty
extortion thrived, and the money
rolled in again to the pockets Of
Tammany Hall men. Devery took
a long breath and quit wiping his
brow, Police Commissioner York
went into his shell and played poll
tics, Tammany leaders said the
people wanted wide-open town,
and Mayor Van Wyck said, "Look
at London or Paris" Meanwhile
the assessment of gamblers in hun
dreds of places continued, the po-
lice collected the weekly and
monthly tribute from places that
were protected, the woman that
walked the streets at night gave up
her money before and after mid
night, saloon-keepers paid to sell
openly in prohibitive hours, dens
of infamy Haunted their signs braz-
