DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
M,KlNLEY,s DEFENSE.

President McKinleys defense of his
Porto Rican policy is about as funny a
thing as aver came down the political
pike 1t even outshines his excuse for
his course in the Philippines. In the
latter matter he is intensely humorous,
especially when he exclaims in a voice
filed with tears:
Where could it (Dewey's f1eetl nave
gone? What port in the Orient was
open to it?"
1t didn't matter straw whether any
port in the Orient was open to Admiral
Dewey's feet or not. The Pacific port
OF San Francisco was open to it, and
Admiral Dewey might have been di-
rected by cable to Hong Kong, with
which ne had communication by dis
patch boat, to set sail from the Philip
pines once the Spanish fleet was disa-
bled or destroyed. That would have
ended the Philippine matter then and
there, and all the troubles which have
resulted from MeKinleys policy of i'm
perialism would have been avoided.
There was never any earthly use OF
sending one single soldier of the Amer
ican army to the Philippine islands,
and the common sense of the country
knows II The only reason for sending
a heet there was to cripple or destroy
the Spanish navy in The Pacific, and
when that was accomplished all had

Lemon Market in China.

Los Angeles Times.
l know a rancher who is engaged all
these days in shipping lemons TO China.
The market is at Canton and the fruit is
sent out from San Francisco by the reg
ular steamers. 1t was a new experience
to me to talk with a man who is selling
his fruit regularly and proftably after its
having half-girdled the globe on It's way
to the consumer. The grower told me he
received an average of So a box since the
initial shipment was made the first Of last
March. Advices from the receiver of these
lemons at Canton state that they are
smoother, juicier and thinner skinned than
the Italian fruit received at Canton. They
further state that there was only one
competitor in the market-an Italian deal
er. This indicates the undeveloped condi-
ton of the oriental trade and the ignor-
ance of the market demands of the Chi
nese ports.

New and Dangerous Doctrine.

William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, has
signalized his coming to the support of

monumental blunder, only exceed

because of the acts which Mckinley,
appealing for popular support, defends
in his letter of acceptance at such great
length.
No man in responsible position, in
all the history of America, ever showed
himself so incapable Of grasping the
common sense view of situation as
did William Mckinley in his Philippine
exploit. He was wrong from every
standpoint, and he has been wrong ever
since. For this one act, followed, as it
has been, by policy in harmony with
it, he deserves the eternal execraion
of every American.

shipbuild,ng without Subsidy.

Brooklyn Citizen.
1t appears from the returns-and how
1t must gall Hanna to observe that they
are official-that more ships were built
in this country during the last fiscal year
than ever before since 1856, except in 1864
and 1874. There were more steam vessels
and more sailing vessels-that is. there
was larger amount of tonnage repre-
scented in each: and the worst of it is
that this great work in shipbuilding was
going on all the time while Hanna and
Frye in the Senate and Payne and Gros-
venor in the House were trying to per-
suade the public that shipbuilding would
never revive until the builders got a
subsidy for every ship they built. Rough
on Hanna. isn't It?

Atlanta Journal.
Old man Stewart, of Nevada, in his flop
to Mckinley has possibly done the coun-
try some service by proelaiming boldly the
true principle of the crowd with which
he proposes to flock in this campaign.
Stewart declares that 'in governing the
territories the executive. with the ac-
quiescence of Congress, may exercise all
the power of an absolute sovereign" This
is an honest assertion of the real design
and scope of the Imperialism which tho
Republican party is trying 20 fasten upon
the country. Stewart is only more candid
than most of the other imperialists; they
all aim at the same end

THE TEXAS DISASTER.

The news from Texas is appalling.
Thousands are dead-just how many
thousands is not yet known. The coun-
try is desolate, and the cities devas-
tated. Some very considerable towns
appear to be utterly wiped off the map,
and even Galveston, with its sixty
thousand population, is minus thous-
ands Of buildings and thousands of
lives. Hundreds of bodies have been
carried out 10 sea, and, as in the case
of the Johnstown catastrophe, hundreds
and hundreds will never be found.
They have simply been swallowed up
by the waves.
OF the extent of the disaster in the
interior of the State, the facts are still
too meagre to speak intelligently. The
storm appears to have turned in a
northwesterly direction after leaving
Galveston, and that would carry it
through the heart of the immense
State. Its force was felt as far to the
West as Ell Paso, and it may have cut
over into Arizona or New Mexico, or
gone more directly north, toward
Oklahoma That much of this ter
ritory is comparatively unin-
habited is fortunate If it was peo-
pied as thickly as New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio,
the loss of life and the destruction of
property would be almost beyond COM
putation. As it is, Texas deserves SYM
pathy and will receive aid. She has
undoubtedly lost millions, and many
thousands must be in distress. Her
crops are ruined, her towns, cities and
villages laid waste, and her people
drowned, injured and homeless. Many
have lost all they had on earth They

a new start in life, or, failing that.

AN INTERESTING STORM.

The history of the storm which has
wrought such havoc in Texas is an In
teresting one 1t first manifested itself
on the Goth day of August, near the
Windward Islands, in latitude Is NJ,
60 E. The following day, the last OF
the month, it had moved westward and
was central aabout two hundred miles
south of Porto Rico On the morning
of September list it was central in the
Caribbean sea, about two hundred
miles south OF San Domingo, and Sep
TENDER I'd it was near Jamaica. The
following day it had moved to a point
one hundred and seventy-five miles
south of Central Cuba, and on Septem-
Der 4th it was in latitude q, longitude
81. Throughout this slow course the
high winds were accompanied by ire
mendous rains. On the 5th of Septem-
Der the storm centre appeared to be
between Cuba and the southern end of
Florida, with an apparent tendency to
go north along the Atlantic coast, and
the weather bureau, which had been
following the disturbance carefully, had
cautionary signals displayed as far
north as Boston. The storm was an
erratic one, however, and did not fulfill
expectations. 1t sheered off the Flor
ida coast and started westward along
the northern gulf coast. This led to
cautionary signals from Pensacola and
Mobile to New Orleans, and finally as
far as Galveston, this being on the 9Th
and 18th. On the Sth the storm struck
the coast of Texas, being apparently
central over Galveston, and then took
a sudden turn to the northwest, and
is now blowing itself out in the far in
terror, having wrought immense de-
struction to property and life.

ter in Gen Otis report reviewing a year
of exciting events in the distant islands,
which seems worthy of publicity, although
the document is said to be of about 600
pages, and must certainly contain inter-
esting data, especially regarding the NOR
tality among the American troops. But
the War Department apparently regards
the instructions of Aguinaldo found by
the Americans as the most important
event of the last twelvemonth
A careful reading of these twelve articles
enjoining loyalty and patient valor upon
the Filipinos discloses nothing particularly
startling nor contrary TO the rules of civ
ilized warfare Indeed, If the natives are
the barbarians some officials would have
us believe they would not be condemned
even if their methods were of more saw
age type. 1t was Aguinaldo's plain and
legitimate purpose to regain control OF
Manila which, according to his inter-
probation, has been occupied by the Ameri-
cans originally under false pretenses. The
people were to sart riot, take the Amer
leans by surprise and recapture their cap
ital. AS the Americans had taken the place
without the consent of the natives and pro-
ceeded 10 drive them out the natives, it
would seem, were merely following the
methods OF civilized war in plotting to
reoccupy the city 1t is probably the
intention of the war department in pub
fishing these instructions to direct atten-
ton to Aguinaldos authorization to use
'red hot irons and burning rags soaked In
oil as missiles to be thrown at the Amer
leans, and also the determination of those
who escape these precarious weapons by
means of bolos and sharp pointed arrows.
All this does not sound uncivilized, but
it was only advice not fulfilled, and does
not begin to compare in atrocity with the
cold blooded killing of a wedding party of
amigos by American forces in ambush.

Discrimination with a Bayonet.

The new commercialisn has failed to
make Its purposes altogether plain to the
allied forces. The troops have not caught
the spirit of the market grabbers and are
unable to realize, apparently, that every
time a Chinese Is slaughtered an actual
or a prospective customer Is lost TO the
Christian trader. A -iore rational policy
would be TO butcher only Chinese who
cannot prove that they consume western
products, or whose poverty is so hopeless
that they can never become profitable
customers of western trade promoters.
AS long as trade is compelled to pay for
the bayonet the bayonet ought to exer-
else little intelligent discrimination.
