A STAGGERED COMMISSION.

1t is related that the Philippine COM
mission is staggered by the chaotic
conditions existing in the Philippines
and by the enormity Of the task con-
fronting the peacemaker. There is no
doubt that the gentlemen that compose
the commission went to the Philippines
with the laudable desire to do the right
thing and with the notion that order
know that the American people are
benign lot, but they did not understand
how difficult task it was going to be
to make people be serfs whether they
would or not. They thought the people
of the Philippine islands should under
stand that no harm is meant them, but
they find that this cannot be taught so
long as the argument comes in the shape
of bullets. And there Is no way to teach
freedom to people who see their COM
rades shot down by an army of con-
quest. They will continue to misunder-
stand this country till the end Of time
at the present rate. There was no trou-
BILE in getting the Filipinos to be good
when they thought they could throw off
the yoke Of Spain, but when they saw
that they had only thrown off one yoke
to take on another they revolted. All
yokes look alike to the Filipino. There
is now not the slightest doubt that he
would already be useful citizen IL he
had been given to understand that he
was eventually to be given his freedom,
but having helped the United States
against Spain on the implied, II not
specific, promise Of freedom, he cannot
now understand arv does not intend to
try 10 understand, that the Aemriican
people are a liberty loving people. He
will understand 1t better when he is
told that he Is to be free. Until that
time there will be warfare. There are
fourteen hundred islands In the Philip
pine group, and the authority of the
United States is not absolute In sin
gle one Of them. The commission is
composed of gifted men, but 1t will con-
tinue to be staggered" till there is a
change OF policy at Washington and a
government is installed that is repre-
sentative Of the people. Y

Stark county Democrats feel especi-
ally pleased with the selection of Gen.
/. r. Sherwood as elector-at-large, at
Sherwood is not a resident of Stark
county at present but he was once and
he can't lose us. 1t was a handsome
compliment to one Of the strongest
men in the party to name him by accla-
nation. 1t was fitting recognition
of statesmanlike qualities and genuine
Democratic loyalty.

son was the commander Of the fleet that
destroyed the ships. To indicate how
unfair this decision is the court said
that the New York took part in the
destruction of the fleet. There isn't
a naval officer who was present on that
occasion who has the slightest notion
that the New York helped in even a
small degree, but the court had to get
the New York in the battle or Sampson
couldn't get the big share Of the bounty
money, foy it is money that is behind
the whole contention of Sampson. The
court allows him $685. for taking away
one of the best ships in the fleet at a
critical moment and allows Rear Ad-
miral Schley but $1,000 for remaining at
his post and commanding the fleet dur
ing the battle, his own vessel taking the
most active part. But any amount for
either is too much. The whole system Of
giving a man bounty for doing once in
a lifetime, what he il paid every day
in the year to do. should be abolished.
What right has Sampson to $1,000 when
he didn't get near enough to the fight
to hit a single Spanish vessel? What
right has Schley to $4,000 for earning
the big salary he gets? How much does
the man behind the gun get? In this
instance he gets about a dollar. There
is no equity in the thing and 1t ought
to be done away with.

THE OVERS sADOwING ISSUE.

The Democratic convention at Co.
lumbus said just what the News-Demo-
crat said some days ago, that 1t was a
question this year of republic or empire
and that no reforms whatever can be
accomplished till that question Is set
tied. If we are to have a republic there
is hope for silver. If we are to have
an empire there Is no hope for silver or
any of the Democratic reforms nam
ed in the Chicago platform. And no
ratio, whether arbitrary or commercial,
will establish a parity between DEM
ocracy and Imperialism. The republic
itself is the overshadowing issue this
fall If it fails, all will fail. AS Chair
man Huntington put it at the state con-
vention:
Whatever a mans convictions on
the money question, IL he believes that
the republic must remain. he is fool
If he trade the greater principle for the
lesser; he is blind II he does not unite
with others to achieve the main object,
no matter how he may disagree from
them in respect to lesser objects. DEM
ocrats get together! And not Democrats
only, but all you of every political faith
who would first save the Union from
the threat of Imperialism, from the
curse Of militarism, and from the blight
Of monopoly, and after that Is done
we may agree to disagree while deter
other questions. Our appeal is
not the appeal Of the Democratic party
as a political organization. 1t Is an
appeal to the honor and the interest
Of our land, from all those who believe
that George Washington was right and
George III was wrong"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-06-15
WHY THEY SHUT DOWN.

The owners of steel mills in the trust
are declaring that the reason so many
of the mills have been shut down is
that the wage scale is to be re-adjusted
July /, according to prior understand
ing. 1t cannot be seen at this distance
why this should cause mill to he clos
ed. 1t is not, in other pursuits, neces-
sary to put man out Of work for sever
al weeks in order to raise his wages.
A theory advanced is that the mills
are being shut down to demonstrate
that the trust has lot of material on
hand and that the product is SO great
now that 1t will not be necessary to
run for a while. That is done to
impress labor that there is little demand
for men and 1t Is hoped, therefore, to
reach an adjustment Of wages on a
basis to suit the trust. This is a
plausible theory, for it has been noticed
that the trusts are not in the habit of
increasing wages but rather lowering
them. Labor will learn but whether 1t
will learn in time to save itself from
absolute serfdom Is a question. The
tendency of the times, under the present
administration, has been toward the
control Of the many by the few. Com
binations have been permitted to do as
they please. whether they work ruin or
not. 1t is time labor Is waking to the
situation. Four more years Of trust
rule will make 1t powerless.

THE OHIO PLATFORM.

The Ohio state Democratic conven-
tion concluded its labors Wednesday
evening, placing a splendid ticket in the
field, selecting delegates to the national
convention that are acceptable to the
party and did it's work in neat and
satisfactory manner. 1t was a memora-
BILE convention and the spirit Of getting
together pervaded the entire doings.
True, the Cuyahoga county delegates
had a quarrel about which should be
seated. but they were all for the cause
and each desired the honor of assisting
to name the ticket that IL to redeem
Ohio this fall. And 1t is not an Idle
suggestion that Ohio can be carried by
the Democrats this fall. There is no
reason why the Democratic vote should
not be larger than last year. ana there
y no reason why those who voted for
the Jones ticket last year should not
vote the Democratic ticket this year.

bossism of Senator Hanna Is more bra
zen now than 1t was even last year.
The Democratic platform Is one that
all good Democrats and every citizen
who loves good government and liberty
and equality can support. The Chica-
go platform, containing the fundamen-
tai principles of Democracy, was reaf-
firmed at Columbus and new issues that
have arisen since that platform was
adopted are dealt with in a fearless
and patriotic manner. The Democratic
party takes a position for bimetallism,
believing in the money of the constitu-
ton and asking that silver be given a
place alongside Of gold as the popular
money of the people. The platform
takes no backward step and insists that
what was right in 1896 is right in 1900.
On the question of empire or republic
and that is the issue that must be met
this fall bravely, squarely and firmly
the Democrats Of Ohio unanimously
and with patriotic, enthusiasm, declared
for a republic. In other words, the
platform favors a government Of, for
and by the people, and not Of, for and
by the trusts and imperialistic con-
quest hunters. The Ohio Democrats
have acted with wisdom. The platform,
in phraseology and sentiment, is sound.
1t declares its belief in the constitution
and in the declaration Of independence,
both of which the Ohio Republican con-
vention repudiated. 1t is good plat
form to take along to Kansas City and
have readopted there.
