preceptor had pasted over his desk a
poster containing the portraits Of all of
the candidates. Lincoln and Hamlin,
Breckenridge and Lane. Douglas and
johnson and Bell and Everett. The
poster contained the platforms Of the
various parties. There was some un-
certainty in that campaign. My pre-
ceptor was an enthusiastic Douglas

his candidate. It was my first expert

The Democratic Platform.

The Democratic conventions of Ken
lucky, Missouri, California, Georgia
and Vermont yesterday reaffirmed the
Chicago platform of 1896 and instructed
their delegates to vote for William j.
Bryan as the candidate of the party for
president. The action of those states
makes about four-ffths of the conven.
tion instructed for Bryan.
A signed statement from Mr.. Bryan,
printed in the NeaUs yesterday, said
that, in his opinion, the convention at
Kansas City will reaffirm the Chicago
Platform, adding to it such planks as
naturally arise out of the Developments
since 1896. That such will be the
course of the convention nobody has
any doubt except those, like the Den
yer Republican, who willfully close
their eyes and ears to the evidence and
insist on drivelling suppositions that
have no relation to the real situation.
Nearly every state convention of the
Democracy thus far held has reaffirmed
the Chicago platform without so much
qualification as to suggest the crossing
of a or the dotting OF an i, and when
the national convention meets it will
do the same thing. AS Mr.. Bryan
well says: s.The principles adopted in
the platform of 1896 were adopted as
part of the party creed, never to be
departed from.n
II the party were to depart from the
principles of 1896 it would cease to
play part in national affairs, because
the voters would remain with the prin-
ciples and leave the party. Since the
party does not propose to extingnish
itself it will stay with the principles
and the voters, and again affirm the
Chicago platform.
1t will be observed that the Gold
Democratic party is organizing as best
it can, and will either indorse McKin-
ley or put up ticket of its own. The
prediction may be made that the party
which failed to carry precinct in the
United States in 1896 scarcely will OBJ
tain vote in a precinct in the United
States in 1900. Even General Buck
ner, who was the candidate of the par
ty Tor the vice presidency in 1896, con-
cedes that Bryan will carry Maryland
and Delaware this year. He expresses
the hope that Mckinley will carry
Kentucky, but the Nea0s violates no
confidence in remarking that he has
no notion that any such thing will
happen.
The money question is and must be
at the forefront of the fight. because 1t
is and must be at the forefront of the
issues to be determined. The great
live subjects on which differences exist
always are the leading issues of CAM
paign, and there Is no other subject
on which there Is SO clear cut and ra-

a Staggered Commission.

II President Taft of the latest Philip
pine commission and his colleagues re-
| lied upon administration declarations,
repeatedly made to them before they
| left this country for the scene of their
! labors, that the resistance in the archf-
pelago to United States authority was
practically over, they haye been badly
deceived body of men. Disillusion-
ment has come to them with convinc-
ing force since they arrived at Manila.
According to cabled advices to St.
Louis Hanna organ. which cannot be
suspected of painting an unfavorable
outlook for the imperialistic policy of
Mr.. Mckinley, Judge Taft and his fell
low commissioners have found the task
before them anything but holiday af-
fair. He finds, outside the continual
guerrilla warfare being waged through
out nearly all the principal islands by
the natives, General Otis much lauded
system of municipal government,
which that notorious military fakir
claimed to have established in Luzon
and some of the Visayas group, to be
most bunglesome and impractieable
arrangement. AS the prerequisite for
holding Office, or voting for muninci-
pal officials, is to swear allegiance to
the United States, few representative
Filipinos can be found who are willing
to take the oath, and still fewer who
will qualify themselves for voting.
The plan which the imperialistic pa
pers have been advocating for so many
months of training natives to act as
police and as soldiers, President Taft
declares to be out of the question, on
account of the utter and irreconcilable
antagonism felt by all ranks of Fill
pinos for any form of government
short of absolute Independence.
The members of the commission
frankly confess that they expected COM
plexities, but say the difficulties by
which they are confronted are posi-
lively staggering.
There seems to be no alternative
left for them in carrying out their in
structions to restore order but to ask
for large increase of the army already
in the Philippines. This means more
deaths and hardships for American SOL
diers and a higher piling up of war
taxes on the American taxpayers.
The proper and easy and just solu-
tion of the Philippine question lies in
the Democratic proposition to settle
il right, by granting the Filfpinos in
dependence under United States pro-
tectorate.-Kansas GUY Times.

By What Right?

[By Chas G. Holbrook, District Judge, Alamo
sa, Cal.
If / believe in the continuing force
and authority OF the fourth command
ment as part OF the necessarily un-
changeable law OF the Interchangeable
God. and you believe that by some
mysterious, unexplained and unknown
process, the Interchangeable God SO far
changed bis mind as to change his law
by substituting the first day for the
seventh, and then forgot to tell us about
it, what right have you 20 punish me

Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1900-06-21

If you have evidences upon which
you are enabled to base a belief. and
from which you do believe, that God
changed his fourth commandment by
substituting the first day for the sew
enth, and l am so constituted that the
evidences do not convince me, by what
claim of right would you punish me
because my God-given conscience can
not be satisfied by the same evidences
which satisfy yours? Aud by what
right do you assume to force me to
serve God according to the dictates Of
your conscience instead of my own?
The leading nations OF Europe have
come TO an agreement to prevent the
further killing Of big game in Africa,
except with their mutual consent; but
meanwhile the killing of the human
species-men, women and children--
goes on as fast as the combined efforts
OF two opposing powers can continue
the process. 1t is too much to expect
that European civilization should exert
its force to prevent the further slaugh-
ter of human beings by the bullets OF
men who hunt beneath the government
flag.
The country has been startled by the
revelation OF great frauds practiced
under the United States administration
of affairs in Cuba, and the latest infer
nation is that only tithe of the whole
story of dishonesty in this matter has
yet come to the light OF publicity. But
why should the people be startleda
Why be surprised over the occurrence
of that which is as natural as the law
of gravitatlonp 1t only shows that the
people have not taken pains to view
present occurrences in the light of the
past. Let them read ancient Roman
history and the history OF every nation
which has governed provinces as the
United States is now governing the
late Spanish possessions, and they will
find only one continued story of gov
ernmental corruption in the admins
tration of provincial affairs. The evil
is inherent in the system itself, and no
indignation the government may now
show over the Cuban revelations will
long Arrest its working. In process OF
time the people will become used to
the story, and such practices will come
to be accepted as matter OF course.
And this is not our verdict in the mat
ter at all. but that OF history.
Under the flag but not under the
phrase expresses an
anomalous and evil condition for any
people. The flag and the Constitution
belong together. Sentinel of Liberty.

Have Felt the Curse.

| Editor Oswald Ottendorfer of the
New York Staats-Zeitung sounds the
keynote of the German-American de-
fection from the Republican party
when he declares that German-Ameri-
cans learned in their Fatherland the
dangers of Imperialism and milltarism
and that they will never vote to fasten
those evils on their adopted country.
This spirit is eminently logical on
the part of the people for whom Mr..
Ottendorfer speaks. They have in
deed learned from bitter experience
the cost of Empire and of the policy of
foreign conquest now favored by Mr..
Mckinley. Germany has felt to the
fullest the curse of militarism as the.
inevitable accompaniment of imperial
ism, imposing upon the people the
horrors of military conscription and of
tax burden so heavy as to give birth
to the saying that every German peas
ant carries soldier on his back It
would be strange indeed If German
Americans failed to perceive with
peculiar clearness the ominous menace
of the Mckinley ADMINISTRATORS sur
render to the glamour of Empire.
In the States of New York, Michi-
gan. Wisconsin and Illinois the Ger
man-American vote in November is
likely to develop an unpleasant sur
prise for the imperialists. The issue
has been forced upon these American
citizens through a reckless folly'which
they have from the first opposed with
all the vigor and earnestness at their
command. No attention has been paid
to their repeated warnings. 1t seems
to have been taken for granted that
they will go to the polls and vote the
Republican ticket like hordes of un-
thinking cattle. IL current develop
ments contain any Indication of Ger
man-American sentiment, 1t is that the
moment has arrived for this element
of American citizenship to unqualified
ly support consistent Americanism as
against the un-American Imperialism
of the Presidents party.-St. Louis Re-
public.
