about the Observation-Disclosures Herald.
Troops rave been ordered to China, and
soon the American flag will fly on the spot
once occupied by the yellow dragon. The
United States has moved within the last
two years. and old fogies might as well go
to the rear.-New Albany Tribune.

price of wheat dancing up towards so cents
a bushel and silver sagging towards 40

Things look rosy for the Republican par

Shively, for they declare that notwith-
standing his positive declination they pro-
pose to present his name for Vice Presi-

idol of the Indiana democracy in some
way.-South Bend Tribune.
In view of the critical situation in China
and the relation Of the United States to
what seems to be an impending struggle,
we may think ourselves most fortunate as
a Nation in the possession of the Philip

possession of those islands becomes almost
an absolute necessity, and the God of ma
tions seems to have led us into our duty
by ways which may seem to us inscrutable.

If by anti-imperialism the Democrats
mean that they would not hav retained
the Philippines, or that having been at
tackled by Aguinaldo and MS gang of MUIR
derers, they would have adopted the policy
of nonresistance, all they need to do is to
state it explicitly and the people will do
the rest. They would bury the party deeper
than ever. And If they don't mean that,
they don't mean anything except a pretext
to oppose the Republican party.-Marion
Chronicle.
