III is significant that Senator Lodge
makes his swashbuckling attack on
Germany hardly three days after Lord
Salisbury made his ill-timed speech in
the same direction. Ii is we'll known
IN international affairs that Germany
mas no intention of interfering in the
affairs of this hemisphere. There are
SOU,C00 Germans in Brazil. There are
more than 100000 Germans in the
United States. The German-Americans
nave supported the republican party
as rule to such an extent that with
out them the republicans could not
nave carried a presidential election in
~ years. Trusts. militarism, imperial
ISM and the pro-British attitude of the
administration have driven them from
the republican party. Just why Lodge
should have chosen this inauspicious
occasion to further offend the German
Americans goes beyond understanding
Lodge is man of great learning and
little Judgment. He is ambitious to be
considered the foremost statesman in
The senate. But his ablest efforts
seem sophomorical beside the pro-
found learning of Senator Hoar, while
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, chairman
OF the foreign relations committee, is
an intellectual giant beside him.

An EutangIing Alliance.

Mr.. Mckinley has brought the Unit
ed States nearer to san entangling al

ever the case before in Americas his
tory. Mr.. Olney is a keen observer,
and we have his word for it that:
Except for Great Britain's counte-
ance, we should almost certainly
never have got the PhilippineS-ex-
cept for her continued support, our
hold upon them would be likely to
prove precarious, perhaps altogether
unstable. 1t follows that we now find
ourselves actually caught in an en-
tangling alliance, forced there not by
any treaty or compact of any sort,
formal or informal, but by the stress
of the memorable facts of the situa-
ton" Mr.. 0lney speaks the truth,
whatever may be said by Mr.. Hay to
the contrary. Such a situation cannot
exist without bringing the question Of
Britain into our presidential politics.

known to be thoroughly corrupt, and q
constant menace to all the best interests
OF good government.
Unity with PopuIists.
Mr.. Bryan hardly appeals to the
thoughtful citizen, with whom political
parties are only agencies for public good
to the extent that they stand for funda-
mentally right principles and honest ad.
ministration, when upon the one hand he
Is presented by the Populists and on the
other by Tammany. The joining hands
with one constitutes an offense against
safety in governmental administration,
the alliance with the other an offense
against political decency, making il
doubtful rs to his ability, no matter how
strenuously he might try, to secure hon
esty in the conduct of public affairs In an
administration over which he presided.
1t Is not difficult to predict what would
be the outcome of any administration
based upon the socialism Of Populism and
the rapacity Of Tammany.
Reaffirming of 10 to I.
l am told that not few Democrats
who refused to sanction the nominee and
platform Of the Chicago convention will
aid the nominee presented at Kansas
City. doubt il there are many who will
do so. Why should they? The same
candidate has been named, the same doc
trines announced, only in more offensive
way.
1t must not be forgotten that the re-
affirming of the principles Of the Chicago
platform was the repledging OF an inten-
tion. when opportunity is afforded, to de-
base the country's currency. 1t was re-
assaulting the Supreme Court of the
country. 1t means n reallance with the
elements of disorder, as against the prop
erly constituted authorities OF peace, in
tegrity Of property and person. 1t is the
announcing once more of desire to get
into power that the sacred right of .pri-
vatc contract under the guaranty of law
may be abrogated. 1t is the acceptance
Of those elements Of socialism which work
injury to both government and people.

and protesting against any debasement of

such proceeding because OF belief in
any injustice done by Great Britain to

away.

we would not be treated to the floods OF
petulant fault-fnding and appeals to pre-
judice which are manifest in all that he
says, but would have instead suggested
solutions, grounded upon principles, and
in accord with the facts of national his
tory and national experience.
Distrust His Wisdom.
l am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom OF one who thus far
in life has been living expression, In
every address he has made Of that best
definition Of the essential elements Of
stump speech, namely, to claim every
thing and denounce well.
l am not unmindful Of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
requiring careful, thoughtful and states
manlike dealing with. There are many
evils to which labor is subject that need
to be remedied. Likewise there are many
prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital, but in neither instance can they
be dealt with to the good of all by any
one who brings to them none OF the elc-
merits Of statesman and all of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
/ believe that more Of the remedy lies
without the pale Of enacted legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital is benefited by public utter
,ances on the platform, in Legislative halls
and through the columns of the press to
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
do not believe any man benefits his
country by being n preacher of discon-
tent strife between classes, social and
political pessimism, financial disorder and
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundings and widespread prosperity, and
therefore 1 do not believe in Mr. Bryan.

The evils and burdens OF the present mo-
ment growing out Of the Spanish wal
are to be laid as much at the door Of Mr.
Bryan and his party as at that of Mr.
Mckinley and his. His explanation OF
his reason for wishing the treaty ratified
Is wholly superficial and does not bear
analysis.
Policy ON Philippines.
/ imagine that self-government will
come quite as readily through the admin
istraton Of Mr.. Mckinley as through
! that Of Mr.. Bryan. 1t will not come un-
der either until the Philippines are fitted
for 1t, property rights safe and personal
ones protected. hardly believe Mr..
Bryan could do more than send COM
mission there, as the President has done,
in order to take steps looking to sup
planting the military government with a
civil one.
The country will not sanction the i'm
mediate abandonment of those islands to
disorder and pillage. When time comes
that there is safety in constitutional
home government, only remaining within
the sphere of the influence Of the Unit
ed States, and public sentiment is to this
Kinley's administration will readily grant
it, for believe it is generally admitted
that no one is more ready to put himself
in touch with public sentiment than the
President, or act in accordance there
with with more alacrity. If Mr.. Bryan
means an immediate abandonment Of our
control in the islands he must certainly
fail of support, for no thoughtful person
will sanction policy which will make
the country ridiculous in the eyes of the
world
Would Not Trust Him.
II Mr. Bryan and his party had stood
out rs they should have against the Span
fish war and had opposed instead OF as
sisted in ratifying the Paris treaty, they
would be in better position to confront
Republican plans and purposes, for they
would at least be consistent with their
action. As it is now, they urged the war,
but now wish to avoid the consequences
in order to gain political power by so
doing. AS it is, | don't see that Mr..
Bryan is less of an eXpansionist, through
force of circumstances which he assisted
in creating. than is Mr.. Mckinley. The

who stood out against them then ought

any degree lessen the danger of these for
harm, fail to denouncc and defeat them.
do not think that the fact that here
and there may be some elements more
conservative in the party than seemed TO
be the case in 1896, makes any difference.
Mr.. Bryan still gives official voice to the
party's views, maps out its campaigns
and writes its platforms. Mr.. Bryan's
intimates and advisers are still Popuists
and self-scekers, with the added contin-
gent of Tammany bosses. He has neither
use nor care for any man who is con-
sentative in his views or careful in his
utteranccs.
Effect on Gold Basis.
If elected President the public must be
prepared to see Mr.. Bryan as chief eXecu-
tive and those associated with him as
cabinet counsellors construe every law
bearing upon the currency and the pow
ers OF the Treasury Department in such
a manner MS to nullify as best they can
its provisions in so far as they bear upon
the question of the maintenance of the
gold standard. His Populist allies boast
that they seek power that they may bring
about the repeal of the existing laws and
to this end they are Mr.. Bryan's cham
pions and defenders.
He can and will keep the country in a
state of ferment and uncertainty in an
attempt to bring about the larger use OF
silver as redemptive money. The cx-
pti iment is too dangerous one to be en-
tered upon by any on the grounds that
the gold standard is so fixed in law that
il cannot be disturbed, no matter who
may be President or Secretary of the
Treasury. The law ought to be executed
with construction favorable to it to
fully carry out its provisions and not In
a manner antagonistic to them. 1t is
not perfect law, but can be made so by
its friends. 1t can be made abortive by
it's enemies once firmly entrenched in
power.
Bryan and Recent War.
1t will hardly do for any sound money
Democrat or Republican to support Mr..
Bryan because of supposed better po-
sition he occupies than Mr.. Mckinley on
the question OF colonial possessions. de-
spite his worst position on the question
of the monetary standard. the Supreme
Court, the enforcement OF law and the
right OF private contract. Mr.. Bryan's
position can hardly be as satisfactory a
one on an analysis growing out Of the
Spanish war.
He and his friends, In order to put the
administration to political disadvan-
tage, urged on the declaration Of war
with Spain, and when 1t was over Mr..
Bryan, personally at Washington,
through personal advice and solicitation,
brought into line sufficient number Of
Democratic Senators to ratify the treaty
OF Paris, despite the fact that 1t provided
for the purchase and taking sovereign
possession OF Porto Rico, and the Philip
pines, without any provision for giving
them any home government whatsoever.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1900-08-25

difference is certainly not great enough
to make any man surrender his convic-
tons on other great questions to accept
him upon one.
1t may also be fairly doubted whether
n man with so many erroneous ideas as
to the conduct of the domestic affairs of
the nation can be trusted to have right
ones when it comes to managing our
foreign properties.
As to Porto Rico.
AS to the question growing out of the
Porto Rican tariff, believe the admin
istration made most egrcgious error, but
as Democracy is now constituted and con-
trolled it stands for nothing so far as a
tariff policy is concerned. 1t has aban-
doned all the advantages of it's position
on this question, by advocating in its sill
yer policy the very worst kind of protec-
ton. Mr.. Bryan stands responsible for
making 1t party unable to manfully
advocate q Democratic tariff doctrine.
1t is to-day under Mr.. Bryans leader
ship, party emphasizing desire for
special privileges and class legislation, APP
pealing for the support Of every, element
Of discomfort by falling in with and adj
vocating the particularly special legisla-
ton which such element stands for. Its
demagogy is manifest on every hand.
Raising the Boer Issue.
What thoughtful and inquiring person
can possibly believe that either Mr.. Bry-
an or. the delegates at Kansas City are
really deeply solicitous to the extent
which it is made to appear that they are
as to the alleged wrongs of the Beers in
South Africa? Is it not manifest, through
the thin disguise Of love OF human
freedom, rights and republican form of
government, that Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers hope for the German and Dutch
vote as a determining factor in the cleo
ton because OF racial affiliations with the
Beers and a supposed race prejudice
against Great Britain, and not because
the question or the integrity OF the Boer
republics il so dear to them?
1t Is absurd that the great questions
with which we have to do affecting the
vital interests of the United States shall
be overlooked in n debate upon how Great
Britain shall conduct its own affairs, cs.
pecially in the face OF proclaimed reaf-
irmation OF the Monroe doctrine, which
means, properly interpreted, that the
people of the United States shall attend
to their own affairs and let European ma
tons look after theirs.
Confidence In Germans.

spiration OF Mr.. Bryan, Immediately pro-
