In some of the New England States

and 1t seems to as that it would be a good
idea to give them a special invitation to

Carnival next year. What a fine spectacle
It would be to have a public parade Of the

of them might thus be induced to return

Union. and 1t became the Presidents duty
In the Philippine Islands just as much as
as it is his duty to enforce the laws OF
the United States in the State Of Virginia
II the authority OF the United States is
as much his duty to conquer that defiance
as it is his duty to conquer defiance OF
them in the State of Virginia. These
truths are SO elementary that we do not
stand them, or to gainsay them II he does
understand them. Not only so, but the
Congress of the United States provided
the President with a large army for the
express purpose Of subduins all opposition
to the United States authority in the Phil
ippne Islands. The President, therefore,
was not only right in pursuing the course
he has pursued, but if he had failed to do
just what ne has done, ne would have
wilfully defed the authority and the COM
mands Of the laws Of the United States.
To say, therefore, that the course which
the President has pursued indicated an in
tent!on to overthrow our Republican in
stitutions and substitute the institutions
Of an empire for them, is to say that
obedience to the laws of the United States
is an undermining OF the laws of the United
States.
The Atlanta Constitution, Bryan organ,
in an article in reply to the Washington
Post, says:
The Post is distinctly not an organ, and
therefore it is regrettable to see it holding
on to the fag-end of a Republican roor
back to the effect that Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party were in favor of with
drawing our troops from the Philippines
and turning the Islands over to the terror
and confusion that would result from
Aguinaldos dictatorship. As a matter of
fact, no Democrat of any prominence or
influence. so far as we know, has ever
dreamed of subscribing to such Il PROPOSE
ton.
AS we have pointed out in these columns
time and time again. it is preposterous to
suppose that any sensible Democrat ever
entertained the idea. that the United States
could afford to shirk the responsibilities
thrust upon them by the fortunes of war.
In matters of such large import as the
occupation of these islands by the Ameri-
cans. we do not believe in accident. The
event is providential in its nature; it
means something more important than the
wisest man can now foresee. Whatever it
may mean. it certainly did not and does
not mean that we are to turn these people
over to their own unframed ana undisci-
plined political desires, to become the
prey of European rapacity.
What then is the difference, after all, be-
tween what Mr.. Mckinley has done and
what Mr.. Bryan would have done?
Mr.. Bryan would have shot the insur-
gents into submission. but he says that
while shooting them he would have prom
lsed them their Independence if they would
submit Mckinley shot and let the bullets
speak for themselves. 1t would appear;
therefore, that the difference turns not
upon shooting. but upon talking. We are
not talking politics. We are not talking
about Mckinley, the Republican nominee
for the Presidency. We are simply pre-
senting the facts as they present them
selves to u.

That Is not oar understanding of the act

says that the chief defect in the act is the
omission of the law to make all contracts
and obligations 10 pay dollars mean gold
dollars. 1t adds:
In this particular the only advance made
is found in the clause which makes the
new per cent. bonds and the greenbackS
and Treasury notes payable specifically in
gold. The legal character and status of
silver dollars and silver certificates re-
main unchanged. Private obligations re-
main unchanged The old law of 1873 which
made the gold dollar the unit of value is

out moral effect, but its legal force is not
augmented. Prof. Langhlin showed that
