is giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.
In 1908 jefferson paid Napoleon the
SIS, 900, 900 for Louisiana and the sale
conveyed sovereign rights over all
the population both savage and civ
ilized of that great territory and they
were not asked to consent to the
transfer. Had they rebelled, they
would have been forced to recognize
the sovereignty of the United States
"The consent of the governed" was
not taken into the account, and yet
our title to that vast territery is con-
sidered valid.
Sixteen years later, the United
States purchased Florida from Spain.
With the sale went the right to con-
troll or govern the people who lived
therein. Five million dollars were
paid, and General Jackson was sent
to govern the territory. Had the
people rebelled it is not difficult to
imagine what Old Hickory would
have done, and had Atkinson or
Bryan gone about preaching resist
ance they would have been obliged
to have kept good distance from
Jackson's long arm and sharp tongue.
His rule was autocratic if not i'm
perial.
Twenty-nine years later Uncle Sam
made another investment in Western
land and paid Mexico $1S, ,25O, 900 and
acquired title of both land and peo-
pie of New Mexico and California.
| The people of those then distant re-
gions, Mexicans, Zunis, Indians and
all the rest, were not consulted, but
were governed and well governed,
and the region has become the pride
of the nation and the garden spot of
the world.
Five years later Southern Arizona
and its people were acquired in the
same manner without saying any
thing about the consent of the gov
erned.
Fourteen years after $7,200,000 was
invested in Alaska, securing title to
mountain, glacier, seals, fish, Indians,
Russians and all else the land con
tanned without their consent being
asked or required. Five times have
the United States acquired title to
land and sovereignty over people by
purchase. When the government
paid Spain 500, 100000 for the Philip
pines it did what was done in 1903, in
1919, in 184s, in 1858 and in 1867. YET
Bryan says it is impossible to secure
title to people by force or purchase

Fudge.

In connection with the Garrett
county decision which ousted school
board and examiner elected by the
people under local law and gave the
tenures to board and examiner pro-
vided for under a general law the
Cumberland Times, in moralizing
tone, says:
Often, in fact too often, men are
elected to Office because they are
good wire pullers, and not because
they are fitted for the position. School
board appointments should be gov
erned only by the special fitness of
the candidates. That is also the
proper plan for all offices, but the peo-
pie have not altogether yet worked
up to that standard.
THE people have very little to do
with it. and it is very well settled
also that the man who is not in con-
siderable degree "wire-puller'' is in
eligible to the office of school com.
missioner.
Especial fitness" doesn't count-in

GRANTSVILLE.
One of the Coming Towns of Western Mary
land.

One of the Coming Towns of Western Mary
land.
Grantsville, Garrett county, is eN-
periencing such boom that it is pre-
dicted that the town will soon take
position among the leading places of
Western Maryland 1t is the centre
of the lumber and maple sugar indus
try of Garrett county. The town has
always been hampered by the lack of
railroad facilities, but now Il road is
being graded from Salisbury to Bit
tenger, over 100 men being at work
on the extension. Every house in
Grantsville is filled and people desir-
ing houses are turned away. A move
has been started toward establishing
a national bank at Grantsville. Jen-
nings Bros. are building the railroad
extension which will touch Grants
Vile They spent over 100000 for
lumber lands alone last winter.
Some magnificent farms lie in the
vicinity of Grantsvile. The farmers
generally have large flocks of cattle
and sheep, both of valuable breeds.
Many cattle raised about Grantsville
are sold for export. AS a sample of
the eXtensiveness of the maple sugar
industry one farmer, William L.
Stanton, made $4,000 pounds besides
some syrup.-Cumberlan News.

The past week has witnessed the
detection from Bryan of three men
of national prominence, upon whose
support the Democratic candidate
had right to rely, in the absence of
explicit declarations from them,
William +. English, of Indianapolis,
whose father was the Democratic
nominee for vice-president on the
Hancock ticket in 1880, and who has
himself been lifelong and consistent
Democrat, fatty repudiates Bryan
and Bryanism. Mr.. English sees no
peril in the alleged imperalistic ten
dency of the nation, and succinctly
states the reasons for his withdrawal
from his party in the one sentence;
"Rrvan is the paramount issue of the
campaign" Mr.. English is a business
man of distinguished service to state
and natisn. He has thought deeply,
written widely and is far-seeinG. Par
tisan prejudice does not blind him to
the fact that there is Il greater men
ace in the prospect of Bryan's cleo
ton than in anything Mckinley has
done or may do.
Hon. Charles DENLY, eXminister to
China, and another lifelong Demo-
crat, joins the boilers from Bryan.
Mr.. DENLY has had peculiar opportu-
mites to acquaint himself with the
various phases of the Philippine
question, and he speaks by the book
when he declares the administration
is following the only path open to it..
Imperialism, he AYERS, is a 'bogy,
created by Bryan for the sake of an
issue, and opposed for the sole pur-
pose of winning victory in politics.
To a man of Denby's honesty and
sincerity such demagogery cannot be
endorsed, and he refuses positively
and absolutely to support the dema-
gogue.
The third in this distinguished trio
of boilers is ex-senator George f. Ed
munds, of Vermont. Edmunds is a
Republican and an anti-imperialist-
in fact, one of the leaders in the latter
movement. His ability is unquestion
able, and he ranks as one of the great
est statesmen of the country. AS an
anti ti-imperialist he has criticised the
administration and, while still differ
ing from it, he carefully weighs pend
ing questions and decides to suppor'
Mckinley 1t is the Judgment of hi
expe rience, wisdom and conservatism
that imperialism is not the paramount
issue, and that the danger to th'
country from triumph of Bryan ant
Organism is of greater moment thai
that which threatens from any othe
quarter.
These are the conclusions of careful
thinkers, and are worthy of deliberat
consideration. None of these men i
swayed by partisanship, and thei
announcements are so eminently jus
titled by fact as to give them fore
and influence wherever they are mad
public. Such advice as they give, di
rectly and by inference, is worthy G
acceptance, and if followed will opei
ate to the advantage of the nation.

Church Dedication at the Park.

The new Methodist Episcopal
church at Mountain Lake Park was
dedicated on Sunday afternoon last.
With the exception of about $400 the
church is paid for and this amount
will be paid wholly by subscriptions
already promised. The building is a
neat little chapel, and on the order of
the Methodist church in Oakland,
but not nearly so large.

BRYAN has a peculiar sort of logic.
Before the convention he insisted
and commanded that 16 to plank
be inserted in the platform, saying
that the reaf1irmation of the Chicago
platform was not sufficient. Now
that nothing was said in the Kansas
City platform about the income tax,
he declares that the Chicago platform
covers the question perfectly. Such
trifing may be thought shrewd, but
it is neither good politics nor respect
able craftsmanship.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Important
news came from China at the end Of
the day which in itself tends to advance
materially the efforts for a final set
Element. China has accepted the sug-
gestions of the United States contained
IN the answer to the German PROPOSE
ton, ana has begun voluntary punish
ment OF the reactionary Chinese lead
erS who were responsible for the Pc
kin outrages. 1t will be recalled that
our answer the state department was
careful that while it did not believe in
demanding the surrender of the Chi
nese ringleaders as a condition prece-
dent to negotiations, it was resolved
firmly, as Secretary Hay said in the
note, that in the end the guilty parties
should be held to the uttermost &C
countability.
The Chinese government has taken
this intimation to heart, and perhaps
hastened in its action by the recent
mani estation Of dissatisfaction by the
United States government at the re-
| ported promotion of Prince Tuan, and
already begun the punishment of him
and other Chinese leaders who are held
guilty. The decree recited by Sheng is
felt to be of the utmost Importance, as
indicating complete change of heart
on the part of the reigning dynasty 1t
is believed here that if this action is
genuine, it will be hard tor any of the
powers to find reasonable pretext for
longer refusing to heed the appeals OF
the Chinese government for opening
negotiations looking to a settlement.
The Importance of the action is
shown by the determination to try
Prince Tuan before the imperial clan
court. This supreme judicial tribunal
of China is the only one having juris-
dictiOn over members of the imperial
family. 1t is presided over by Prince
Lii, With the welI-known Prince Ching
as first vice president.
Prince Ii is the first OF eight prince
Iy families OF China. and is regarded
as friendly to the progressive element.
The attitude Of Prince Ching has been
notable throughout the trouble as
friendly to foreign interests. There are
five other members Of the court, all
high personages. 1t is noted that even
before the trial Prince Tuau is stripped
Of his salary and official servants. Be
ing a man of large and independent
means, the loss of salary will not
amount to much if it were not that
this and the loss Of his servants is a
special means of humiliation. The
names of the four princes who have
been degraded is not known here eth
er by the state department or the Chi
nese legation.

DISAGREEMENT PROBABLE.
Believed Salisbury pisapproves Ger
man Proposal.

London, Sept. 30.-Judging from APP
pearances the British press is prepar-
ing the way for the announcement that
Salisbury has failed to agree to the
proposals contained in the German
note The papers which at first angrily
declared the statement made to the AS
ISOLATED Press was inaccurate are now
either silent or taking the view that
after all it is doubtful ii it would be
advisable for Great Britain to become
a party to such a stringent measure.
AS a matter Of fact the statement re-
garding Salisbury's determination has
created so much excitement and
brought such severe comment from
Berlin that it may result in Great
Britains formal reply not being deliv-
cred, and may induce Germany to
agree to a compromise arrangement.
The long delay in Great Britain's for
NAL reply reaching Berlin increases
the likelihood Of this happening. 1t is
pointed out that it would certainly
suit Salisbury, as he has no inclination
to incur German animosity if it can be
avoided.
