The Difference.

What sorrowful con Gract between

times and the 1896 Democratic times.
A blind man can see the difference.
''Some of the lumbermen in Wis

woodsmen are plenty in this neck of

agent in Duluth Friday. 81 received.
today. an order from company doing
business in Central Wisconsin. asking
for several irst-class woodSmen right
away, at wages all the way from $40
to S2S. It will break their hearts
when I write back and tell them that
they can't talk of men short OF $50
straight, and that men are mighty
scarce at that figure, at present.
The above item was taken from the
Duluth Herald, an independent
(Demo-Pop) paper. which publishes
news items of this character and anti

OF Importance.

An amendment to the constitution
of the state will be voted upon at the
election this fall, and as it is a matter
of considerable Importance to this sec
tion of the country it is earnestly
hoped that it will not be overlooked.
The amendment provides that the
maximum amount which any school
district may borrow from the state
funds shall be increased from to Is
per cent of the districts assessed
valuation, and that the rate of utter
est on the loan shall be reduced from
4 to 3 per cent. In this section of the
state where the growth of population
is rapid the operation the proposed
amendment will mean a great deal.
Educational progress is frequently
stalled in new districts for the lack of
available funds to build school houses
and carry on the necessary work. The
proposed amendment provides rem
edy for such emergencies and is a
matter that all persons interested in
educational work should take hold OF
and see to it that it is not defeated.

Our PhiIiopine Policy

We believe that it would be we'll for
the advocates of the administration in
the campaign that will now shortly be
at Its height to make most prominent
before the voters the settled purpose
of the government to secure the ulti-
mate adoption of self government in
the Philippines and in the meantime to
serve the interests and secure the CO.
operation of the natives. On the other
hand. we call the serious attention of
those who are dissatisfied with the
present outcome in some of its features
to the fact that the determination of
the future policy of the government in
this matter rests not with the admin
istration but with congress, and that
1t is quite possible to attain all that
they really desire through congress
without putting Mr.. Bryan in the pres
idency and inviting the incalculable
peril involved in his election. Not only
by the constitution, but by the express
terms of the treaty with Spain the
status of the natives of the Philip
pines is within the control of congress.
That body can dictate the policy of the
government on this as on all other
questions, and if it contains a major
ity rejecting a strong sentiment among
the people it will do so. Mr.. Mckinley
can be relied on to respect such a SEN
timent so embodied with the utmost
fidelity. In the congressional elections,
therefore, lies the field for effective
activity on the part of those who wish
to hold the government to just policy
in the new possessions and do not wish
to bring disaster to business interests
and dishOnOr to the public credit by
the election of the free silver candi-
date. If candidates for congress are
chosen who will support the gold stand
ard and who will stand not for the
wild and impraCticable notion of i'm
posing government on the Filipinos and
then assuming all the responsibilities
of their Independent conduct with no
chance Of control but for the exercise
Of our sovereignty with the steadfast
purpose Of the gradual and complete
extension of self government, the best
results will be attained with the least
risk.-NeW York Times

Mckinley ON imperialism.


See what the presidents own ideas
on Imperialism are. About a year ago
he said:
That the Philippines will be retained under the
benign sovereignty Of the United States | do not
permit myself TO doubt. That they will prove a
rich and invaluable heritage feel assured That
congress will provide for them a government
which will bring them blessings, which will pro-
mote their material interests as well as advance
their people in the path OF civilization and intel
ligence | confidently believe. They will not be
governed as Vassals OF serfs or slaves They will
have given TO them a government Of liberty, regu-
lated by law, honestly administered, without op-
pressing exactions, taxation without tyranny, jus
tice without bribe, education without distinction
Of social conditions, freedom Of religious worship
and protection in life. libsry and the pursuit Of
happiness.
President Mckinley said last spring
also:
There can be no imperialism. Those who fear
it are against it, Those who have faith in the re-
public are against it. SO that there is universal
adherence for il and unanimous opposition to it.
Our only difference is that those who do not agree
with us have no faith in the virtue capacity OF
high purpose good faith Of this free people as
civlizing agency, while we believe that the cen
tuTy OF free government which the American peo-
pie have enjoyed has not rendered them irresolute
and faithleSs, but has fitted them for the great
task Of lifting up and assisting to better eondi-
tions and larger liberty those distant peoples who
through the issue of battle have become our
wards. . The liberators will never become the
oppressors. self governed people will never per-
NIT despotism in any government which they fos-
ter and defend. . 1t is not possible that 75,-
100000 OF American freemen are unable to estab-
lish liberty and justice and good government in
possessions.
Smyrna times., 1900-10-03
Look Out For the Next Congress,

The special interest felt in the cleo
tiOn Of the president naturally tends
to dwarf other matters Of importance
connected with the election. But the
voters everywhere should not fail to
remember that the election of con-
gressmen is second in Importance only
to that Of the president, and there is
great danger that the Republicans
may lose the control Of the next house
Of representatives even though Nc
Kinley might be reelected by a large
majority. The reason OF this is partly
because the present Republican ma
jority In the house is very small 80
that a gain Of nine Democratic votes
would overcome 1t, and partly because
the new election laws In several of the
southern states are OF such a nature
that the Republicans snnld not posi-
bly, hope to carry a single district IN
that section and must therefore expect
to lose several seats from this cause,
which must be offset by gains In other
parts of the countrE. Chairman Bah
cock Of the Republican congressional
committee desires 10 warn the voters
of the necessity for standing shoulder
to shoulder and working hard to save
the house, and especially to impress
the voters in the eS5se and doubtful
states.
