The Open Door.
)m the London Times.

ioAi tLe LouuoH times.
Ihe government and people of the United
states are TO be congratulated upon the
successful achievement of a cons sidera bile
service to the world. The diplomatic cor
respondence between Mr.. Hay and the
powers interested in the future of China
pubEshed yesterday at Washington shows
that Mr.. Mckinleys Secretary Of State has
obtained general assent from all the ma
hons concerned to the policy Of "the open
door"
The credit of having formulated that
broad and Just principle of Information
dealing in the celestial empire belongs to
this country. But the honor of winning
for it the formal acceptance of Germany
france, Russia. Japan and Italy has fallen
to our kinsmen across the Atlantic. No
where out of the United States will this
signal success OF American diplomacy be
welcomed so gladly as in this country. The
advantages 1t confers upon the commerce
OF the world are common to all states and
to all peoples, but they must prove Of spe-
clal benefit to the nation which is still the
chief trading power in the far east
The policy Of the open door has prevailed
IN lhese agreements because 1t Is fair and
equitable on its face. 1t gives equal rights
TO all everywhere and leaves the subjects
of each nationality to win or lose in the
struggle for the greatest markets Of the
future according to their deserts. That is
all that we desire in China or in any other
we Shall by due exertions hold our own If
upon equal terms our new and vigorous
competitors can defeat US we shall recog-
nize we have nobody to blame but our
selves.
The United States, which are certain to
be amongst our most formidable rivals for
the trade of the far east, were the first to
appreciate the justice and the reasonable
ness of the policy We professed. They
adopted it themselves, and now after six
months Of negotiations they have induced
the powers to adopt it too. Henceforth the
foreign trade and commerce of China are
to be open to all nationalities upon equal
conditions. If the terms of the agreements
with the United States are fully and faith
fully observed.
Mr.. Hay has done much to make straight
the paths of commerce in region where
they were threatening to become tortuous
under the pressure of all kinds of Illicit po-
litical influences. He has contributed in no
small degree to weaken the grounds Of
serious international complications preg-
nant with danger to the peace of the world ;
and he has opened up to China fresh pros
pect of economic development without an
increase of the perils that menace her po-
litical existence.

Secretary Root has given figures which
ought to end the yellow excitement over
the insanity in the Philippine army.
The plain truth is that the percentage

A Dangerou. Experiment,

L know a man who has no friend
In all this teeming earth;
His days in solitude he'll end
Afar from sounds of mirth.
The truth somehow went to his head:
By trouble he is caught.
He frankly went ahead and said
What everybody thought.
Some people said, ''Of course it's true
And that's what makes it worse;
Wen have to quit him. He is due
To feel the social curse
Which Ger the over-bold is spread"
His life with woe is fraught
And all because he frankly said
What everybody thought.

JUST A REPUBLICAN SCARECROW.

To justify its war against the Filipin-
Os, and as a sop TO the outraged senti
ments of the American public, the Mo-
Kinley. administration publishes IN al
ged secret order issued by Aguinaldo
It is not possible to determine whether
the document is genuine or not, but the
presumption is that it is fictitious. The
Filipino order deals with plan to at
tack Manila put the American soldiery
to fight OF assasSinate them in cold
blood The whole scheme is blood
thirsty enough, and if there was any
foundation for it, any kind of repres,ive
measure tpprevent the proposed slaugh-
ter were permissible But we say again
we disbelicye in the commences of the
paper and l ore so because the admins
gratlon uses the Aguinaldo instructions
as campaign literature
The Mchiuleyites say the papers we've
captured la>t ear and forwarded to tn $
country shortly afterwards Since that
time they have been lying snugly away
in the archives of the War department.

ANALYSIS of the issues Of the campaign
he concludes that there is but one thing
the American voter can do, who wishes
% perpetuate American institutions iii
their entirety, and that is to elect Will
lam Jennings Bryan to the presidency
! Mr.. Olney arraigns what he terms
| McKinleyism; the new development of
| Republicanism. He AYERS McKinleyism
means That the American people en-
dorse the policy by which the United
/ States sets up in business as an Asiatic
I power and welcome the large standing
armies, the increased naval forces, the
new administrative agencies, the en-
llrged and more costly diplomatic SER
vice, the onerous taxes, the information
al complications and the entangling ALI
ances which, and all of which, are the
inevitable incidents and consequences Of
! the oriental role to which McKinleyism
has undertaken to pledge us.
1T will mean that the American peo-
pie, either do not see, or seeing, approve
the great and growing if not already
overwhelming influence of money in our
politics II y y . That under the influ-
ence Of McKinleyism such is the unms
taxable trend Of things in this country
at the present day, giving to the best de-
vised policy Of all times something the
aspect Of stock jObbing Democracy, is
only too apparent. Should McKinleyism
now again prevail for example, II will
not be because it is not cordially distrus-
ted and disliked by the great body Of
American electors It will be because
Of the influence of the purse and of the |
felicitous application Of an enormous
campaign fund
And Mr. Olney is right McKinleyism
Is leading the nation under the influence
Of n narcotic into paths which must !
bring about distress, and which will |
menace its peace and destroy its sccur-
ity. The United States has no right to
20 in search Of land grabbing. Here we
have country overlooking in natural
resources which can be adapted for every
need in human life and for all our com
fort. The history Of bygone days point
with unerring finger to the dissolution
Of land grabbing empires and republics,
and not until England had learned a
severe lesson in colonial government WAS
her hold on the colonies secure. And
today were it possible Great Britain
would be disposed to grant autonomy to
most of her dependencies

knowing full well it is false. We will
not, however. enter into a discussion of
the financial question, but will confine
ourselves TO calculating which issue
stands in the forefront of the political
battle-ground
1t will be noted that the Democratic
platform specified Imperialism as para
mount When the word was written it
was done so with deliberation, and for
the purpose of counteracting in the fu-
ture any efforS on the part of Republic
ans to project any other question into
eminent place. Now, the meaning of
the word paramount is: Having the
highest rank or jurisdiction; superior to
all other things supreme If, then,
this be the common Interpretation how
is it possible to force some question
which is not supreme over that which
is supreme? Such an effort would i'm
ply contradiction Of terms, hence the
fallacy of the presidents argument is
apparent If paramount be synonym
for the highest, then there can be moth
