The Standard, commenting upon the

says that England has right to expect
that a country which is still diplomati-
cally friendly shall not display otficious
and etTusive patronage OF an enemy of
England. BY adopting that line, the
Standard thinks the Dutch government
makes itself his partisan and renders It.

LONG LIVE KING CORN.

The people of the corn belt have
no motive for asserting their indie
pendence of the imperialism of
King Corn. They have prospered too
much under that Imperialism. :
Whatever is further conducive to that
misunderstanding sound mon-
ey, protection, reciprocity and expan-
sion, they will certainly want, SO soon
as they realize that it is just what
King Corn wants. Long Live King
Corn" means to then-"Lo last our
individual prosperity"
The people of the corn belt have
also good reason to entertain deep
feeling of patriotic pride over the
fact that the imperialism" of King
Corn has been aided by the militia
rism" which has brought honor and
glory to the American flag, security
to American lives and property, and
which has gained for the United
States the increased respect of all the
nations of the world.

LOOKING BACKWARD AND FOR.
WARD,

In his speech at Webster, S. D.,
yesterday Gov. Roosevelt called at
tention to the fact that in 1864 the
democrats were abusing Lincoln in
even worse language than they now
use toward Mckinley Now they are
praising Lincoln, and the governor
asserted his belief that thirty-fve
years hence Bryan, if he lived would
quote Mckinley with approval. Gov
ernor Roosevelt said:
I'VE have among our opponents
many men who honestly object to our
policy. Take them as a party, and
you know what they would have DONE
If we had not done as they have op-
posed us for doing in the Philippines,
they would proclaimed us as having
abandoned our duty and would have
been running Bryan now so as to get
the Philippines back. During the
gloomy days of 1854 in order to over
come the enemies of the republic I'M
der arms you had to uphold Lincoln,
and no defeat that could been inflict-
ed upon the national armies in the
field would have been as disastrous
to the cause of the republic as the
defeat of Lincoln at the polls. Yet
at that time the party whose political
heirs and assigns the Bryanites are,
was denouncing Lincoln in terms
which make the language used by
our opponents about Mckinley seem
like praise. Now, thirty-five years af-
forwards, our opponents have gained
wisdom. They not caught UP entire
|ly, but they have come on. If Bryan
lives, as hope he will, for thirty-five
years, do not in the least doubt that
he will be quoting Mckinley at that
time with the same approval that he
now quotes Lincoln"

BUILD UPON A ROCK.

Willis L. Moore, chief of the Uni
ted States weather bureau, has given
out a statement which throws some
light on an interesting question.
Many people have been wondering
If the determination of Galveston
citizens to rebuild their city is a wise
one, in view of the fact that storm
like the hurricane of last Saturday
is likely to occur at any time. Chief
Moore says that the probability of
Galveston being again devastated is
not sufficiently strong to deter its
people from again building up their
city, but advises them to profit by
the teaching of the Scriptures and
build their houses upon rock He
further says that other coast cities
which are built upon the sands, stand
in danger of the same fate which
overlook Galveston. Mr.. Moore's
statement follows:
II should not advise the abandon
ment of the city of Galveston. It is
true that tropical hurricanes some
times move westward across the gulf
and strike the Texas coast, but such
movement is infrequent. Within the
last thirty years no storm of like Sc
verify has touched any part of the
coast Of the United States. There
are many points on both the Atlantic
and gulf coasts, some Of them occu-
pied by cities the size Of Galveston,
that are equally exposed to the force
of both wind and water, should hur-
ricane move in from the ocean or
gulf and obtain the proper position
relative to then. 1t would not be adj
