PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY.
East NashinGtoninns Hear Them Ex-
pounded at CIarke's Hall.

The regular weekly meeting of the
South Washington Democratic Association
last night at Clarke Hall. on Seventh
Street southwest, was well attended, and
enthusiasm ran high. Lemuel r. Via, OF
Virginia, who also addressed the East
Washington Democratic Club last night,
was the principal speaker of the evening,
and expounded the principles OF true De-
mocracy and denounced the methods OF
the Administration in manner that
ELECTED frequent and prolonged applause.
He contrasted the methods of the Admin
istration in connection with relations
with England with those OF President
Cleveland when he stood for the Monroe
Doctrine and caused the English to aban-
don their ulteri0r motives in the Fene-
Zuelan trouble, and the decision OF Grant
when he compelled Napoleon III to aban-
don his Mexican plan of campaign, and
leave Maximilian to his ignominious fate.
He touched briefly on the Porto Rican
question, and derided the political sum-
mersault taken by the Republican party
when the bill creating a tariff was passed
He called attention 10 the evident fact
that the tariff was placed without regard
to the wishes of the inhabitants of the
island for the benefit of the trust mag
mates.
Mr. Via was interrupted by one of the
members of the audience with a pertinent
query concerning the Ice Trust. He foTcl-
bly, replied that the Ice Trust was merely
a local concern that affected no one but the
people of New York, and said that il it
was a bad thing, Governor Roosevelt ought
to stay at home and crush ii out OF eXis-
tence, instead of running around the coun-
try making speeches. This retort seemed to
please the audience who applauded Yigor-
ously. Mr.. Via assured those present in
closing that if Bryan was President he
would enact a law that would regulate tna
trusts and that. furthermore, he would ap-
point an Attorney General who would zee
that the law was enforced.
F. NJ Doran, the next speaker, discuss
ed briefly and forcibiy the questions of
trusts and denounced bitterly the con-
troll exercised by the trust magIates over
the President and his Cabinet.
Major ]. Med. Darlington spoke against
the attempts of the Administration to in
crease the standing army, and pointed cut
the dangers that would result in militar-
ism if the present imperialistie tendencies
of the Administration were allowed to
mature.
NJ H. Ramage was the last speaker and
discussed the general issues briefly.

WEST POINT VISITORS REPORT.
High Praise Given and Many Rec
concentrations Wade.

concentrations Made.
Adjutant General Corbin today issued the
report of the Board of Visitors to West
Point for 1900 as received by the Secretary
of War. Many recommendations are made
and the increase of the number of cadets is
favored.
The board met at West Point On June 1,
and organized by the choice of Gen.
Charles f. Henderson as president, Col.
Dudley Evans and Prof. David r. Houston,
vice presidents, and Col. William C.
Church, secretary.
The board reports as a result OF its ex-
animation and enquiries, that the United
States Military Academy is in all its de-
partments in condition to commend it
to the confidence of the Preside III and
the country, and to the favor of Congress.
1t is considered unfortunate Dv the
board that SO much time during the lirst
year is of necessity devoted to the study
OF elementary subjects. and for the pur-
pose of obviating this necessity recon-
mend that the standard CT q. iSsion be
raised.
1t is recommended that tLt SOC de-
posit required of cadets adm ttSS ;nto
the Academy be made obligatory, fer ex-
perience has demonstrated the fact that
the cadet who enters without making the
deposit and depends upon his pay TO re-
imburse the quartermaster for ad-
vances, must continue hopelessly insol-
vent for at least the first two years of
his course at the Academy.
The board is thoroughly impressed with
the present necessity OF making proper
provision for the increase made under re-
cent legislation, in the numerics3 strength
o; the Corps Of Cadets. This necessitates
the enlargement of several buildings now
at the post and the construction Of some
new ones These changes are set forth in
detail and the nefesS fty fer sane clearly
and convincingly enumerated. 1t is esti-
mated that the amount required to make
these several additions and improvements
is less than one-sixth of the amount now
being expended at Annapolis.
The report concludes with the state
ment that whatever may be said to the
disadvantage of the Academy at West
Point by those not in sympathy with its
purposes. no cne can examine into its
methods as this Board of Visitors has
done without being satisfied that it is
on the whole admirably fulfilling the
purposes of its creation. and that 1t is
in every way worthy of the most liberal
treatment on the part of Congress
For" says the board. were the con-
tingeney of war more remote than it is
the time and expenditure devoted to de-
veloping such high ideas of patriotism,
| of public duty, and manly honor as are
found here would be we'll expended As
it is, we would better spare almost any
other institution for the instruction OF
youth than the Military Academy and
it's kindred school at Annapolis"

CRITICIsEs MIR. THOMPSON.

4 manufacturer Dencunees His Po-
iiticaI UtteraEces.
r. a prominent member of the New Eng
land Cotton Manufacturers Association
which met in this city, in commenting on
the address of D. NJ. Thompson, the presi
dent of the association, said:
ct is very poor vote-maker. In some
instances it is likely to produce effects
and results directly opposite to those de-
sired by the speaker. In his address
President Thompson declared that the
New England Cotton manufacturers As
sooiation is not a political organization.
Notwithstanding this assurance Mr.,
ThempSon's speech covers eleven printed
pages dealing exclusively with politics
He starts off to paint in lurid coIors the
scenes of financial ruin. wrecked for
tunes, unemployed labor, reduction of
wages. tax upon charity untold suffer
ing; CT the wires. and children of the IN
employed. exhaustion Of capital and 9th
er bogys, which VIII follow a Democratic
victory. MIR. Thompson takes it for
granted, it seems. that the people viii
be satisfied TO accept his views as the
only ones and undebatable, as he offers
no argument whatever to substantiate his
assertions. The people cannot be scared
into doing anything; the time of intellect
ual intimidation is passed.
81 would like TO know whether Mr.
Thompson imagines he can win Democrat
ic votes by defining that large body OF
citizens in his speech as follows: This
modern Democracy composed Of popu-
lism, anti-imperialism, and socialism is
indeed a wonderful production. It's com
ponent parts possess peculiar afTinities
It is political phenomenon of ignorance
hypocrisy and deceit such as not hitherto
known in American political organiza-
tion. It is unfortunate that Mr. Thomp-
son does not think it worth the trouble
to support his argument with anything
like facts. He is apparently SO conf
dent of the truthfulness of his mud sling
ing speech that he exDects the voter will
follow him through the mud.
For a piece of foolish talk, hypocrisy
and moral cowardice just listen to this
In speaking on Cuba. Porto Rico. anc
the Philippines, Mr. Thompson said: The
results of the war in the liberation OF
Cuba have established before the world
the very highest ideal of honorable and
unselish dealing on the part of the United
States. This, coupled with the acquisi-
ton of Porto Rico and the Philippine ISL
