Louisiana Purchase and Philippines.
In 1903, under President Jefferson, the
greatest single stride in expansion that
we ever took was taken by the purchase
Of the Louisiana territory. This so-called
Louisiana, which included what are now
the States Of Arkansas, Missouri, Louis
lana, Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebras-
ka, North and South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and a large part Of Colorado
and Utah, was acquired by treaty and
purchase under President jefferson ex-
actly and precisely as the Philippines
have been acquired by treaty and pur-
chase under President Mckinley.
The doctrine Of 1.-The consent Of the
governed" the doctrine previously enun-
ciated by Jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence, was not held by him or by
any other sane man to apply to the In
dian tribes in the Louisiana territory
which he thus acquired, and there was
no vote taken even Of the white inhab-
itants, not to speak of the negroes and
indians, as to whether they were willing
that their territory should be annexed.
The great majority of the inha bitants,
white and colored alike, were bitterly op-
posed to the transfer.

Jefferson sending these troops to Louisi-

with exactly the same purpose that Pres

Jefferson distinctly stated that the
Louisianians were mot fit or ready for
self-government," and years elapsed be-
fore they were given self-government,
Jefferson appointing the governor and
other officials without any consultation
with the inhabitants of the newly ac-
quired territory. The doctrine that the
"constitution follows the flag" was not
then even considered either by Jefferson
or by any other serious party leader, for
it never entered their heads that new
territory should be governed other than
in the way in which the, territories Of
Ohio and Illinois had already been gov
erned under Washington and the elder
Adams; the theory known by this utterly
false and misleading phrase was only
struck out in political controversy at a

BIG DAY FOR PARKERsBURG.
West Virginia Town Secures Steel
Plant and Strikes Oil

PARKERSBURG, W Va. Sept II

two things occurred which will give addi-

of the promoters Of the proposed new steel

drilling for a couple of weeks and on We'd
nesday they reached oil at a depth of SI4
feet The we'll is good for fifteen barrels
a day and after it is drilled deeper and
shot it Will probably yield even more.
This is the first well which ever produced
oil south Of the river and it has caused
the greatest excitement in the community.
Several other wells will be drilled al once
and it is believed that a new field has
been opened.
The steel plant deal was closed We'd
nesday. The promoters have had options
for several weeks on about $50 acres OF
land near the city. Three farms aggre-
eating about $50 acres have been bought
and paid for. and the other options will

options is said by the promoters to mean

two proelamations-one issued by the
Americans and the other by the Filipinos
The first proclamation is that issued by
the commander of the American troops Of
an expedition entering Lagonay, and reads
as follows:

NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
croker sttn Betting-Tbe most

Croker Still BcttinE.-The most un-
mistakable evidence TO New Yorkers that
Richard Croker is Loyalty supper ing
Bryan is that he is betting his hard
earned money on the success Of the Ne
braskan. The Tammany chieftain = re-
ported to have made another wager OF
$40. eco yesterday on Bryan, The unknown
person who took the Mckinley end pat
up $50 GOO This VIII set the pace for other
betting iE the metropolis. The odGs nave
been hammered down since the middle Oh
July from to 1 to B to 2. When the
odds reached II to l. about two wees
ago Croker got bet of $4,000 to $40
coo. Previous to that he picked up a
Sto-1 bet, putting up his first $2o.o9e
against SEQ. 000 of Mckinley money 1t S
thus shown that Croker now has S60.0to
staked on Bryan's election. Ten days
ago it was announced by some of his nu-
merous Heutenants who can be found at
any hour of the night or day at the
Hoffman House that Croker had 10000
in bank TO bet on Bryans election The
bet of $50 000 he is said to have made
yesterday still leaves him 100000 of tbs
reserve fund with which to
prove MS i0yalJy III New tLiA
and back his Judgment. Croker
is not as poor as he was a few
years ago, and il is not believed that he
would be left pauper if he should lCsa
all of his bets on Bryan. 1t is supposed
that after he gets his bearings a little
better in the State campaign he will pro-
ceed to make bets on the election of
Stanchfield. This would brace up the
Saratoga ticket wonderfully among the
f,If-
token if Croker does not bet on Stanch-
field it will be hard to convince any con-
siderable number of New Workers that the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
their State stands the least possible ghost
of show 1t will be interesting to OBJ
serve the run of betting on the State cleo
ton, If the ticket nominated by Croker
is as strong as he and his henchmen said
it was at Saratoga, the odds ought to be
against MIR. Platt's ticket, AS Mr.. Platt
is not averse to taking a little flyer in
election bets, ii may be that he and Crok-
er will back their cash against each other
on the State ticket. If they do this 1t is
safe to predict that "the public" VIII
shell out its shekels in quite as lively a
fashion as characterized the betting in
the recent Corbett-McCoy hippodrome.
AS neither the principals nor their back
ers in this affair lost anything-in fact,
as they all made big moneJ-it is possible
to conceive u similar result to Platt and
Croker and their confdants in the betting
on the State election

\ CoIcr Rumor--In New York there
is a report that the Hon. Bird s. Coler has

Ex-Governor Stone, and other members of

fact that young NJ CoIer is an anti-silvcr

bilious to reign as social queen Of Arch

of her authors creation. Rev. Cyrus T.
Brady draws on his experience as mis-
%sionary to write Of What Christmas

of rare pathos and of irresistible humor.
The letters that passed between Gail

Christmas rendering. There are two
