MORE FRAUDS INTIMATED.

partment Is "Rotten."

A Washington special says: The
exposure Of the frauds and corruption
in the postal service in Cuba is only
the beginning of series of explosions
that will probably shake every depart
ment under military rule in the island.
Now comes the direct information
from an official of the customs service,
who has just returned to Washington
from Havana, that the customs service
in the island is honeycombed with
fraud of the most fragrant kind and
that the populations Of high officials in
this department will eclipse those by
the Rathborne, Neely, Reeves gang.

A warming.

The Republic is now threatened
as it has never teen before. The
civil war, had it ended differently,
would have resulted in two repub-
lies instead of one. The Hanna
Mckinley Administration has ig-
nored the advice of Washington,
annulled the Declaration of indie
pendence, disregarded the Monroe
Doctrine and set aside the Consti-
tuition whenever that great charter
stood in the way of governing col
onial possessions. Should Nc
Kinley be- elected in November,
a scheme of expansion and imper-
ialism would be embarked in that
would put to blush even England.
In view of this crisis it isno time
now sto consider minor matters of
domestic concern, such as the rates
of tariff taxation and the number
of grains in gold or silver dollar,
which can be regulated by an act
of Congress whenever the people
so will The Democratic National
Convention should, therefore, ig-
more minor issues and by it's de-
claration of principles endeavor to
unite under it's banner all who OPP
pose imperialism and desire the
preservation of the republic.
The Democratic party believes
with Washington that we should
have no entaugIing alliances with
foreign powers, and holds to the
Monroe doctrine that America is
for Americans

TO bring the reluctant Filipinos
ten thousand miles away to subju-
cation we must expose our own
coasts, the largest coast line of any
country in the world, to any enemy
whom our hornet.like Lodges aud
Beveridges may invite to the at

We are stalking all on the con-
quest of some simple native Filipi-
nos, and neglecting the things that
were deemed by all parties and all
authorities essential to our strength
and security up to the time that
the Mckinley administration be-
came dazzled by imperialism. Up
TO that time practically military
activity was directed to building
up our coast defenses
1--WE spent our millions for forts
and guns to protect our majestic
cities from the guns of any enemy.
But suddenly the whole policy of
the government is changed. Our
forts on the coasts are stripped of
men. There are scarcely enough
left to keep the equipment
clean and ready for use, There are
not enough to have an adequate
drill in the use of the arms. And
at this very time we have 10000
soldiers in the swamps of the Phil
ippines benevolently shooting
down the natives who are strug.
Cling for independence.

Parkersburg State Journal.
Many reilly fine speeches were
made in the Democratic convention
last night, in placing the oandi-

Those of Watts and Menager were
probably the prettiest and most
eloquent; those of ST. Clair and
Walker the strongest, and that of

John A. Howard, of Wheeling,

The administration is spending

of Otis is that he has suppressed
the Tagal instruction and estab.
Tished regime of peace, good or.

Philippines. The public view is a
very different one, and it appears to
be justified by dispatches from
Manila to-day, which represents
that Judge Taft and his colleagues
ofsthe Civil Commission are simp.
