A month ago, the republicans
asserted that the people would
approve the Porto Rican tariff
when they understood the ques-
ton. Well, when are they going
to begin to understand it ? Ac-
cording to republican ideas they
are daily sinking deeper and
deeper in the slough of ignor-
ance. Not so deep as the repub-
lican party will sink in that of
oblivion this fall, however.

THE end

The administration denies that
there is an English alliance, but
acts as though one of wrought
iron rigidity was in force.
Why does the administration
propose that the United States
shall build, at enormous expense,
the Nicaragua canal, and, at
England's demand, neglect to
fortify it ? Our government
looks on composedly while Eng
land turns Esquimault, on our
northwest frontier, into new
Gibraltar, with guns pointed our
way, but at the slightest word of
disapproval from Westminster
our Anglomanic secretary of
states hasten to urge that we
shall abandon our right to fortify
a canal we ourselves build be-
cause England might not like it.
The nation is even subjected to
the modification of seeing the
executive departments lobbying
at the senate for the ratification
OF an indefensible treaty. and
employing the one argument
that unless we defer to Great
Britain John Bull will not let us
dig our own canal.

There seems to be a misunder-
standing somewhere. We were
under the impression that it was
the duty of the Supreme court
and not the senate to determine
the extent of the Constitution.

Have we not the example of
England before us, who, after
seven years war against the
American colonists. recognized
their independence Indeed,
the example of England teaches
us a double lesson. England did
not, by recogning American in
dependence, lose her position in

she grew in strength. And
secondly, England would have
retained, or won anew, the friend

who insisted that the hideous
crime of an unjust condemnation
must be persisted in, or those
who bravely defied the cry OF
'traitor !" and struggled to undo
the wrong, and thus to restore
the French republic to the path
of justice and to the esteem OF
the world +? Who are the true
patriots in America today-those
who drag our republic, once SO
proud of its high principles and
ideals, through the mire of brok-
en- pledges, vulgar ambitions and
vanities and criminal agrees
ions-those who do violence to
their own moral seuse by insist
ing that, like the Dreyfus iniqu-
ity, a criminal course begun
must be persisted in, or those
who, fearless of the demagogue
clamor, strive to make the flag
of the republic once more what
it once was-the flag of justice,
liberty, and true civilization, and
to lift up the American people
among the nations of the earth
to the proud position OF the
people that have a conscience
and obey it 4?
The country has highly and
deservedly honored Admiral
Dewey as a national hero. Who
are his true friends-those who
would desecrate Dewey's splen-
did achievement at Manila by
making it the starting-point of
of criminal aggression, and thus
the opening of a most disgrace
full and inevitably disastrous
chapter of American history, to
be remembered with sorrow, or
those who strive so to shape the
results of that brilliant feat of
arms that it may stand in history
not as part of a treacherous
conquest, but as true victory
of American good faith in an
honest war of liberation and
humanity-to be proud of for all
time, as Dewey himself no doubt
meant it to be.
