A Voice From the Granite state.

In the course of an eloquent memo
rial address at Portsmouth, y. H., DR..
c. w. Hidden made the following ref
erences to current topics:
''We have no desire for vassal depen-
dencies; far from ii. But, having taken
weak as well as an alien people un-
der our care. duty to God and to our
common humanity requires that we
stand by them, train them to become
self supporting, educate them in the
arts and sciences, inculcate a knOwl-
edge of right government, help them to
stand alone.
The gradual withdrawal Of the ar
my of occupation from Cuba and the
paving of the way for local govern
ment in the gem Of the Antilles illus
trates the purity Of our motives. The
suspicion which now attaches to our
efforts, natural to those who have
been cramped and fettered for centu-
ries. will be swept away as dew before
a morning sun. The time is coming
when the Cubans will hail us as saw
iOrs, will bless us for lifting them up
into touch with the higher civilization.
What we have done and mean to do
in Cuba will follow in due season in
Porto Rico and the Philippines, so that
the Cubans, the Porto Ricans and the
FilipinOs may come in time to enjoy
the advantages that only American
life, American freedom and an Ameri-
can education can give.
Instead of being hasty let us act in
moderation, as best becomes a great
people. Let us build wisely and well
Let the earnest counsel of that silent
God fearing man in the White House
William Mckinley, prevail. Let us
trust our soldier president to settle
vexed questions in accordance with the
principles of that lofty Americanisn
which rises superior to mere greed oi
gain"

1t was considered a PLAUSIBLE state
ment of the issues he represents. That
of Mr.. Mckinley was given on Mon

chief points Of the message were;
'"The gold standard is made the

known has been secured.
proper restraint upon mOnopolies,
forcing them to make transactions pub
lie, the merchant marine, Civil Service
reform and the pension law are also
considered. Rule in the possessions
acquired by the United States after the

of the message. Trade with Porto
Rico is discussed, and the policy of the
Government in the Philippines, show
ing that it was impossible to adopt any
other measures than those taken is de-

The politicians, that is, those up for
office living in Wilmington, as is the
case to less degree all over. the State,
know what it is to be candidate for

fers to the perils that beset them in

''From the time they make the an
nouncement to the public their lives
are made miserable and they are be-
sieged from morning to night by the
bows" This year the crop of candi-
dates is unusually large and the boys
are looking happy as they go around
and strike one candidate after another
to set up for their influence. These
strikers are a source of much annoy
-ance and expense. We we'll remem-
Der when Samuel h. Baynard was
candidate for Mayor; he was compelled
to carry around a pocketful of quar-
tiers to buy picnic, excursion and raf-
fie tickets, amounting to several dol
lars in a week. Then when he had
given something to the fellows who
told him hard luck stories, his cup was
full and running over and he

THE matter of prosperity" cuts a
very different figure in the West now
from what it did four years ago. The
Union Pacific Railway has sold more
land in the last two years than for Is
years previously, and Wyoming sheep
Haisers are now negotiating for buy
ing 1000, 900 acres in the Red Desert
country. The railroad situation west
of the Missouri River is brighter than
eever before. The roads can scarcely
handle the traffic Four years ago the
Union Pacific Railway had 125 idle To-
comotives in the roundhouses; now the
road cannot move all the freight offered
with its increasing capacity ana every
wheel moving. Similar conditions pre-
vail ON the Burlington and Northwes-
tern roads, whose trunk lines traverse
Nebraska. This very fact of great
prosperity has changed the attitude of
a great many of our public men.
Ex-senator Lee Mantle, of Montana,
who supported Bryan in 1896, has now

West is looking for further expansion in

Bryan's policy of hauling down the
