Senator Teller has aroused the resent
ment Of the Porto Ricans by a few phrases
in his recent Kansas City convention
speech indicative of a contempt for those
islanders. He compared them with the
militant Cubans. to their detriment. and
now. in explaining his structures, he de-
clares that he merely wished to express his
belief that they deserve no such considera-
ton the Cubans, because they had
tamely submitted to Spanish rule while
their neighbOrs had struggled against it.
Not even this explanation will spare
Senator Teller from the charge OF speaking
Unju>tly The Porto Ricans submitted to
Spanish injustice because they were absn-
irtely p"werlcss TO resist. Their case was
wholly different from that of Cuba. Their
numbers did not justify campaign against
SPANS comparatively crushing power. A
few bitter experiences had taught them the
absolute necessity of submission. Revolu-
tiun such as that undertaken in Cuba would
have meant determination.
1t is appalling in the light of what we
now know Of SPANS crueIti.s in Cuba. to
think of what she could and doubtless
would have done in Porto Rico to prevent
or To crush an uprising. The reconcentrado
system in all its terrors, the starvation of
the people. the throttling Of every industry
all this would have been easy. 1t is no
disgrace TO the people of the island that in
the face of certain annihlation they pre-
frrred to endure the wrongs of Spanish
rule

Porto Ricaus. men Of capacity and enter

The InreliabiIity of Chinese News.

The fakirs now engaged in manufacture
ing Chinese news at Shanghai and other
points in the old world are having an easy
time compared with their experiences else
where and under other circumstances.
There Is little or no limit to their specula-
lions, their reports their rumors and
their "semi-offlciaI Statements So little
is known by the world at large concerning
the personnel of the Chinese government
and of the secondary circle of administra-
tors and warriors that there Is little danger
of immediate detection if a clever news fakir
should manufacture yarns about the con-
flicts at Pekin and elsewhere. What trou-
BILE is 1t to devise a battle under the lead
ership of Gen. Wang-Tang- Fang or
counter revolt under Prince Hi-Lo-Jak?
Who is to deny the existence of such per-
sonages?
The Chinese minister here is kept busy
explaining that it is difficult to get news
and queries into Pekin. although official
statements can get out of it. This is
feature of the great Chinese puzzle which
has perpleNed the world Sorely of late.
The genial. emssary from Pekin has
no time. however. to explain the many con-
Trajectory reports from the scene of inter-
est. He can not undertake to suggest
means whereby todays chief reports may
both be true. One of these is that Prince
TUan on the evening of July 6 personally
headed attack on the two remaining le-
cations. British and Russian. and destroyed
them, ali the foreigners being killed. The
other comes from Consul General Goodnow
at Shanghai and ascribes to the governor
Of Shang Tung province the statement that
the legations were being bombarded on
July :.
1t is only too clear that no credence what
ever can be given to any of the statements
emandting from Shanghai or. indeed any
other Chinese port, until they bear the
formal official sign manual of the Chinese
government. Even such may be held in
some question for what they do not say 1t
is just announced that Minister WI, at the
request of the State Department, has I'M
dertaken to communicate through his gov
ernment with Minister Conger and ascer-
tain the precise conditions at Pekin II
China is not in d state of utter anarchy
and the maintenance of embassies at the
capitals of the world suggests that she IS
not-and is not al war with the powers she
should be held to account for at least the
ordinary amenities of international rela-
tiCrship.

Anti-Impe rialist SANDERS Ineffective

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The desire of citizens Of Switzerland that
their country should become a state of the
American Union bumps up against the
Monroe doctrine. and the Monroe doctrine
is solid. 1t does not shut the United States
out of Asia or Africa. but it does shut the
United States out of the European quar-
ter of the globe" However. it Is pleasing
to Americans to learn that citizens OF
Switzerland would like the country of Will
liam Tell to become a state of the re-
public founded by Washington and Frank
lin and Jefferson. 1t demonstrates that
the ISLANDERS circulated by the "anti-im-
perialists' have not injured the reputation

1t IS just four years since Bryan began
to save the country. This year we are no
better off. This year the necessity for the
services of d savior is just as imperative.
II is pertinent to say that in spite of Bry-
ans defeat we are still governing ourselves
1t is equally relevant to remark that Presi
dent Mckinley has not placed the reins OF

eign potentates and powers. But the re-
public is once more on the brink of a preci-
pice and Bryan alone can prevent IT from
tumblng into The chasm below.

The anti-expansionists who believe in
gold standard money and civil service re-
form find little comfort in the Kansas City
platform and ticket. Both represent as
emphatically as possible the exact antipodes
of sound money and civil service reform. A
cheap. inflated currency and official spoils
are the two doctrines which the democratic
party as represented at Kansas City be-
lieves In and is committed to. These are
what it will labor for when 1t comes into
power. A vote for Bryan and Stevenson is
a vote for free silver and free Offices. The
party Is opposed to both the gold standard
and civil service examinations.
