AS STEWART SEES 1T.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
is the latest Bryan war horse to
announce his intention Of voting
for Mckinley. After citing the
fact that the United States went
to war with Spain, urged on by
the democratic party, he says:
1.-THE popularity of that war
was such that Mr.. Bryan joined
the army. The war wassucoess-
full, a treaty of peace was entered
into whereby the United States
agreed to pay $40, 900, 900 and
accept the sovereignty and pub
lie property of Spain III the
Philippine Archipelago. There
was opposition to the ratification
of the treaty. Mr.. Bryan came
to Washington and persuaded
his democratic friends to vote
for the treaty and it was through
his influence that the treaty was
finally ratified. 1t then became
the duty of the United States to
maintain law and order and pro-
tect the lives and property of all
residents in the islands, whether
native or foreign born.
"The United States at the
time Of the ratification of the
treaty held military possession
in Manila and Immediately after
such ratification of such treaty
assumed sovereignty of the
islands.
zone Aguinalde had raised a
rebellion in Luzon against Spain
before the commencement OF the
Spanish war with the United
States. This adventurer had
sold out or settled his rebellion
with Spain for $4oo, 900 before
Dewey set sail for Manila, anc
as part of the bargain with
Spain Aguinaldo agreed to leave
the islands and never return.
president Mckinley had NJ
authority to buy out Aguinaldo'.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
VIM. S. Bryan, of the Valley
Democrat, the Friend
Of the People.

The Montgomery Standard says:
Now that the time for nOminat
ing il state ticket has been fixed,
the political cauldron is beginning
to boil. and the people should
learn rs much about the various
candidates as possible before the
convention meets.
VIM. :. Bryan, who is promi-
ncutly mentioned for the Office of
Iieutenant-iOVcr is the editor
of the Mississippi Valley Democrat,
and his position on the variou
questions of the day are therefore
familiar To many people in our
state. He was formerly resident
of Montgomery and editor Of the
STANDARD, and to our people is
practically IL home man. Having
known him intimately for many
years, we are prepared to endorse
him for any position that may be
suggested. He is student and
follower of the teachings of Jetfer-
son, and is thOrOly imbucd with all
the Democratic doctrines, and
sound upon the vital questions of
the day
He not only possesses the Jetfer-
Sonian qualifications, capability
and honesty, SO especially necessa-
ny, at any time, for the proper
conduct of II public office, but is
built largely from the same mould
as his illustrious relativc-llon.
William Jennings Bryan. He is
therefore a man of the people,
fearless in his advocacy of the
right, absolutely incorruptible, and
Mexico Missouri message., 1900-03-29

Sheldon in applying that to the
moral situation in Mexico!
1t is mans highest privilege and
duty to endeavor to uplift human
ity; by goodly example and right
living. This is the only safe
course both for the community and
the State.
The open drinking place has II
bad educational influence on the
young. It is like evil communica-
tions-corrupting good manners.
That is only the prospective OF the
situation, too. In the smaller
communities and hamlcts of our
country the saloon is under the
ban, and in these instances, as
might be expected, there is always
purcr moral atmosphere. That s
the community where the wise man
will be tempted to 90 to rear his
family
The public is cognizant of these
facts. No argument is needed
here. No money consideration
enters into the question; it Is too
much like putting up dollars
against the lives Of soldiers in the
Philippines or the Transvaal.
The influence of the saloon is
only evil and evil COMMUNICATIVE

Come to the Polls.

NEXT Tuesday occurs the city t.
lection. Every Democrat should
