CROSSING THE STREAM.


The Republican National Convention
which meets in Philadelphia tomorrow
will define the issues OF a campaign that
will be the most important in the coun-
try's history since the days of the civil
war. The conventions of both parties
will lack the keen interest which a
struggle for the Presidential nomination.
usually gives to them, and though there
will be less campaign pyrotechnics in tile
presentations OF ''favorite sons" tue
deep significance of tie platforms which
Will be adopted has had SOLDERING efi1uv
upon the leaders of both parties.
We have made history rapidly in four
Years, ana the position OF the country on
the issues growing out OF the Spanish
American war must be met with deci-
sioA. The extraordinary commercial
ana tlAaAeai activity which followed the
Wal ii-s accumulated the question Of
trusts tat the Republicans can no
longer ignore their existence, and must
in some satisfactory manner meet What
appears to be q popular demand for a
reasonable and fair governmental CON
trol and supervision.
The legaces we derived from the con-
quest OF Spain have given rise to the old
questions OF strict construction or lati-
tudinarianism, and their limits must be
clearly defined.
Mr.. Mckinley is cautious man. Per-
haps it is fortunate that he is, but his at
titude toward Porto Rico has been in
comprehensive to those who expected
policy consistent with his party's tradi-
tions. The Philadelphia Convention
must make some clear declaration on this
and kindred questions. To falter wou Id
mean uncertainty and weakness, which
will certainly be met by bold and clear
counter declaration in the Kansas City
platform.
Statesmen of the compromising kind
are now pleading for ambiguous phrases
that may be construed as one thing in
one section and the opposite in another.
They pursued the same tactics four years
ago with reference to the silver plank.
Had the st. Louis Convention four years
ago straddled the currency question the
party would have been hopelessly
beaten.
Unfortunately, there is no way in
which the American people can approve,
in Presidential election, OF one portion
OF party's announced policy without
