TROOPS LEAVING CHINA.

AS may be seen by reference to our
Geographic dispatches, yesterday
marked the beginning of the disap-
pearance of the American army from
China.
A small force is to be retained in
Pellin as a legation guard, and ''all
stores, transportation and material
not required for the legation guard
sent to Manila
But why this sudden decision and
this commendable action on the part
of President Mckinley? There are
two reasons, and here is one of them,
found i'm the Washington Times of
September 21st:
Gen. Henry Bingham, of PennsyI-
vania, was received by the president
for a few minutes. Afterward Gen.
bingham, who is one of the closest
friends of Mr.. Mckinley from the
Pennsylvania delegation, declared that
he favored getting out of China as
soon as possible.
'The Americans have had enoughof
war;" he declared, land the people are
tired of this Pekin campaign. | think
we should get out of the Empire as
soon as possible. WE HAVE MOTH
ING TO GAIN THERE. WE WANT
NO TERRITORY. Germany is actual
ed by different motives in insisting
upon punishment for the Chinese
leaders in the recent troubles. Our
aim is to get away from China as
soon as we can.
The troops are withdrawn from
China because, with Russia standing
guard, I'VE have nothing to gain
there; we want no territory"
Another, and just now d more 20
tent reason, is the fact that the cleo
ton is at hand. The people are weary
of unctious phrases, and Mckinley
knows it. They are opposed to their
President wandering about the Orient
''outside the Constitution getting

its institutions and a far greater menace
to the present prosperity and future well
fare of the plain people than the election
of Mr.. Bryan could possibly involve, even
if he had both the purpose and the power
and he has neither-to use his executive
authority in defiance of Congress to abol-
ish the gold standard of values and open
the minis to the free coinage of silver at
16 to 1. McKinleyism indorsed by the
people means continuance of the wretch
ed Philippine policy, which all clear-sight-
ed men perceive to be at once blunder
from the standpoint of our own national
interests; crime against an unoffending
people guilty of nothing more than the
ambition to be free, and a grim travesty
of all our own most cherished sentiments
and traditions touching the unrighteous-
ness of government based on brute force
alone without "the consent of the gov
erned" McKinleyism means a will-o'-
the wisp foreign policy, carrying our dip
lomacy and our arms into the Asiatic en-
tanglements of the powers of Europe; a
policy which must, if it is persisted in,
compel us to enter upon military and
naval ornaments as formidable and as
costly as those which bear with crushing
weight on every European country. Nc
KinIeyism means also continuance Of
that robber tariff policy which has created
and sheltered the trusts. made all our
great industries the prey of monopolies
and for over thirty years has forced the
farmers and planters of the South to pay
extortionate tribute for the enrichment
of the manufacturers and small mill own
ers of the North. McKinIeyism means,
too. besides an enormous increase in the
yearly war and navy expenditures Of the
Federal Governmental be paid, of course,
by high tariff taxes and a continuation of
the special war taxes-the success of
swarm oc leeches. like the ship subsidy
hunters, who are only waiting for the
second election of Mr.. Mckinley to fasten
themselves upon the national treasury
and drain it as it has never been drained
before.
Last, but not least worthy of consid-
Grafton of Southern Democrats, let it not
be overlooked that McKinleyism means
the revival of sectional legislation as a
national policy. The warning has gone
forth from more than one Republican
platform that Mr.. Bryan's defeat, and
the hopedfor election of a Republican
Congress with Mr.. Mckinley, will be the
signal for an effort to deprive the South of
a number of seats in Congress and of a
number of votes in the
electoral college. The pretext for this
will be the steps which certain Southern
States have taken to protect their suffrage
from deluge of ignorant and vicious vo-
tiers and thus defend themselves from
the abomination of negro rule.
Can there be any doubt about the duty
of every true Democrat in the South in
this election? Does not McKinleyism
stand for everything which Injuries and
menaces the well being and the progress
of the Southern people? Surely if there
ever was a national contest in which the
South had the strongest and best reasons
for throwing her electoral strength solid
ly against the Republican nominee for
President this is the one.

Every enterprising citizen throughout

the 22d to 9th Our people could also
make exhibits and show the State what
we are doing. Such exhibitions are highly
beneficial to agriculture, stockraising etc,
and a potent factor in the development
lof the surrounding country. The Fair this
year will be good one. We hope to see

cultural progress, which is now very

Chairman Hanna eXclaims: II don't
believe that there is a trust in the
United States!" This moves the Phil
adelphia Record to ask: What is this
but the Christian Science cure applied
to economies? The Christian Science
healer banishes disease solely by de-
claring that it does not exist, although
the patient may be writhing in pain.
BY affirming that there is not a trust

BEVERTDGE LETS THE CAT OUT
OF THE BAG.

A synopsis of the speech of Senator
Beveridge before the Marquette club
at Chicago last night is printed in
another column. 1t is remarkable for
its candor and its lack of diplomacy.
Mckinley and Hanna, and their
heelers, have been declaring that there
is no such thing as Imperialism; that
the imperialistic policy with which
they are credited is boyle, at which
no sensible man will take fright.
Senator Beveridge, however, throws
aside all subterfuge. He takes for his
text the cry, westward the Star of
Empire Takes it's Way" and outlines
for his party policy more imperial
istic than even the mighty Caesar
dared dream.
The speech is brutally frank. I'm
like his more discreet masters, Mr..
Beveridge says what he thinks and
tells what he knows. Scoreing Talley-
rand's dictum that the proper use of
boldly declares that his party policy
is one of conquest and colonization.
In so many words he defends the inn
perialistic policy.
The Indiana Senator believes the ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines a good
business speculation and he says so. !.
He considers the mercantile, advan-
tages" to, be 4Obtained by holding them
the chief if not the only reason why
they should be held,
Because 1T will pay American labor
and capital to develop Philippine re-
sources under American control, he
is opposed to withdrawing the Ameri-
can army from Philippine soil.
To accomplish this he declares his
willingness to see the army and navy
increased to European proportions. In
fact, he declares that a failure to pur-
sue this policy would be to oppose
Destiny and the evident will of the
Senator Beveridge goes further. He
dreams bright dreams and sees glor'
ious visions. He would hold all we
now have and hustle for more. He
would plant colonies where colonies
will thrive; and where the Caucasian
cannot live he must. rule. He sees
the oceans welded by an Isthmian
canal and our dominions extended
until they girdle the earth. He argues
that it will pay.
This is all very fine, from an oratori-
cal standpoint, but it will carry woe
to Republican hearts, and Senator
Beveridge will very likely not do
much more speaking in this campaign.
To suit Hanna and Republican cam
should have declared that there was
no thought of profit In acquiring the
no chance of profit in |
their retention and that the sole OBJ |
iect of the country in securing them |
was to make the Filipinos rich and |
happy. If he had done this his speech |
would have won Republican approval |
md applause. Under no circum-
stances should he have used so unfor |
bunate and suggestive a quotation as
Westward the Star of Empire Takes
It's Way"
1t is all most unfortunate-for the
blunder that cannot
easily be forgiven and one that should
never have been made.
In his recent declaration that there
are no trusts in this country, Mr..
Hanna Indicates very plainly the fa-
tai defect in such speeches as that
made last night by Senator Beveridge.

NO SCARCITY OF LABOR.
Jonesboro Progress.

Jonesboro Progress.
We think the number of negro farm
hands who have left this section is very
small. The impression that labor is
scarce. arises out of the fact that prices
for picking cotton are higher than usual
and laborers not at work are hard to find
The recent drought caused most of the
cotton to open very rapidly, thus creating
a great demand for this class of labor.
The price of cotton went up suddenly and
the demand for pickers increased, for the
farmers wished to rush their cotton to
market to get the benefit of the high
prices.

average 21s to 1, so that if Bryan is
elected he will win a quarter of a
million dollars, and that is an induce
ment for him to be loyal and carry
the State of New York, as he is trying
to do. He is also encouraging his
friends and heelers to bet toe.

4 SAFE MAN FOR PRESIDENT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Mr.. Bryan's repeated complaint that the
Republican Administration does not announce any
definite and finished policy in regard to the Phil
ippines, and his effrontery in quoting Abraham Lin
coin. call to my mind g. conversation between the
latter and Senator Trumbull few days before Mr.
Lincon's death. I have mislad my clipping. and
only reproduce the substance. Senator
Trumbull told the story somewhat as follows:
Just after President Lincolns second inaugura-
clearly in sight, Senator Truubull called on the
President to congratulate him the of his
Administration. Becoming somewhat 1ocuar he
said Mr.. Lincoln, If had had any idea in 1860
what war we were about to enter upon never
would have gone down to a one horse town like
Springfield and picked out horse lawyer like
you for candidate"
MT. Lincoln laughed he replied: well, neither
would l." Then, becoming serious, he continued:
"But, to be serious about It. Trumbull, 1t for
tunate for the country that It did have great
man for President during these last four years. A
great man would have had policy, and as a
natural result would have bent his energies more
TO the vndication of his policy than to following
the leadings Of divine Providence day TO day:
and that would have wrecked our cause NV only
policy has been to save the Union and 10 do each
day the duties II brought me"
One reason why the people trust President Nc
KinIey as they did President Lincoln then Is
brilliant policy to be vindicated and he has no
arrogant egotlsm to run amuck with the course Of
events and the common sense of his times.
