PRESIDENT FOR A DAY.
David R. Atchison For One Day Was SUI
preme in the United States.

Few people are aware and few his.
tories record the fact that the United
States ever had 4 President OF day.
Fewer people still know that his birth
place was in Fayette County, but few
miles from Lexington, KY, and that ne
was citizen OF Missouri. The man
w..o enjoyed this unique distinction was
David R. Atcftison. The little brick cot
tage is still standing where David K.
Atchison was born. 1t is about four
miles from Lexington, near the little
country place Of Kirklevington. His
father was William Atchison, who had
settled there the latter part of the eigh-
teenth century, and had built the small
brick house that is now pointed out as
the birthplace OF a President
David AtcHison attended law school
at the famous old Tran:ylvania Uniyer-
sity. and after graduation moved
to Missouri, where he was signally hon
ored in a political way. After serving
in several other political Offices he was
elected to the United States Senate.
From IS43 when he was first elected,
he served continuously until 1855 Dur
ing large portion of this term OF SER
vice he acted as President pro tempore
of the Senate 1t was while in the Sen
ate that the honor of being President OF
the republic for day was thrust upon
him.
The administration of President Polk
closed at noon on Sunday, March 4.
lS4o. His successor, Gen. Zachary
Taylor, was inaugurated and took the
oath OF office at noon on Monday.
March S. Vice-President George NJ
Dallas could not serve. as his term had
expired with that of President Polk. In
this dilemma Mr.. Atchison, who was %
often President pro tempore OF the ma
ton, by right of succession, as it were.
dropped into the Presidential chair for
twcnty-four hours.
Mr.. AtchSon never married. He died
about eighteen months ago at Nashville,
Tenn.
The house is very plain, two-room
one-story brick structure, still in a good
state of repair. A much more pre:en-
tiou; home has been built upon the land,
which has passed out of the hands OF
the .Atchlson family, and the Atchison
home is now used as servants quar-

dynasty, simply because the opposite
political party took rational and fav-
orable view of our position. The only
way to settle it is to put it to a vote.
Let the people say their say at the
polls. Then we'll know who We are
and where we are"
At last Seacamp's proposition met
with favor, and o special election was
announced to decide the question.
Annexation" was the cry on one
hand, and "no annexation" on the
other. And the Royalists, cheered by
the dissensions among the Liberals,
looked on hopefully, thinking to re-
gain their power and ascendeucy when
the Provisional Government had be-
come weakened by internal struggle
and controversy.
The campaign was pushed with vigor
on both sides.
The election day came, and we all
waited anxiously for the result.
The close Of the day showed hand
some majority for the right wing.
The future of Hawaii was no. secure.
She might unfurl her flag before the
world as republic, young but strong,
dauntless and sure to win.

For many years the French have betn

bringing the oases Of the desert of Sa-
hara into such communication with the
rest of the world as to admit of their
cultivation. Camel trains are too slow

ticable. At last a suitable means OF
transportation has apparently been
found. 1t is the automobile. The new
vehicle. therefore, offers another means

And not only Seacamp, but other
pronounced ,Annexationists began to
waver.
Politically, things were going from
bad to worse.
The nerves of the people were at
concert pitch. They were tuned up
for anything. They expected the
worst.
President Dole remained calm, pick
ing his way among the rocks cautious
ly and sagaciously. And in the dawn
of the anti-anne1ation feeling among
the Liberals, he found Uncle Tom of
great assistance to him, for my uncle
had never finched from expressing
ais opinion firmly for an independent
government. He was the leader OF
the right wing, which stood out for
the building-up of country standing
alone. They saw that in the political
autonomy of Hawaii lay her only
chance for future greatness.
AS Seacamp said one day to party
II us at the American Hotel:
"There's no use beating about the
bush any longer. The present admin
istration of the United States govern
ment doesn't want us. 1t prefers o
monarchy. That's its idea of democ.
racy. I suppose. Well, why should
we care? We have every resource for
making a successful country, indepen-
dent of any other. 1t is one thing to
want annexation under q Republican
administration that upheld the prin-
ciples of republic and looked out for
the interests of Americans. But who
wants to dangle at the belt of an adj
ministration that refuses to listen to
reason, and thinks only of reducing
this country to q state Of immortality
and degradation. tc restorea corrupt

TEETER-BoARD ACT.

Justice Brown has executed his ia
nous teeter-board act again. 1t will
be remembered that the other eight
justices of the supreme court are even
ly divided on the question of the status
of the territory acquired from Spain.
Justices Fuller, Harlan, Brewer and
Peckham holding that these lands are
domestic territory and subject to the
same laws and entitled to the same
privileges as the old territories of the
Union, and Justices White, Shiras,
Gray and McKenna regarding them
as foreign territory until congress
otherwise provides. Brown decides
alternately with each set. In the fa-
nous "Fourteen Diamonds" case he
decided with Fuller ct al that the Phil
ippines are domestic territory and no
duties can be collected on goods COM
ing from there. Then he Immediately
steps on the other end of the teeter-
board and decides with White & Co.
that congress can pass laws layip e
duties on goods coming from the Uni.
ted States to Porto Rico, but to ease
his conscience for thus disregarding
the constitution he expressly stipu.
lates that the aforesaid duty shall not
be called an export duty. If Justice
Brown has the deciding voice in the
supreme court much longer the people
of this country will have to keep thei,
thoughts about that tribunal to them
selves, or they will all be fined fol-

A NEW CONVERT.

The latest addition to populist liter
allure is pamphlet entitled, "The DC.
tupus-Shall the People Rule" from
the pen of w. D. Washburn, Jr., re-
publican member of the Minnesota
legislature, under date of Nov. 10,
1901. In order to prove that we are
not misrepresenting Mr.. Washburn,
we beg leave to reproduce two senten-
ces from his leadet, as follows:
us he" (the citizen) Ito permit the silent
and continuous progress OF these vast monopo-
lies till his children will see nothing but work
men and beggars at one end and all the wealth
OF the nation accumulated in few hands at
the other?
This means despotism, imperialism and the
final disintegration of Anglo-Saxon society and
government"
The TRIBUNE respectfully requests
the Willmar Republican-G azette and
the Alexandria Post-News to explain
the difference between Mr.. Washburn's
warning and that issued by the State
Populist committee on Sept. 3, 1901,
which these papers denounced as out
rageous. The difference lies in that
the populist committee had remedy
to offer, while Mr.. Washburn has not.

The census bulletins show that there
has been an increase of about four per
cent in the wages of laborers in the
manufacturing estab lshments of the
eastern states during the past decade
AS the cost of living has increased far
more than that the wages are relative
~ lower now. During the same time
the value of the products of each Ia
borer has increased about twepve per
can't. This means that the capitalist
takes twO-thirds of the increased value
OF the products of labor, and pretends
to give the laborer the other third but
takes it back with usury when the la
borer buys his goods. Prosperity is
here, and the capitalist has "dead
ci1ch" on it.

ISSUES OF NEXT YEAR.

Under the caption "A Democratic
Duty W. J. Bryan in his Commoner
states that ''the most important matter
considered by this congress and in all
probability the most important issue
in the campaign of 1902" will be the
Philippine question. He quotes the
Kansas City platform as follows:
I'VE condemn and denounce the Philippine
policy Of the present administration It has
involved the republic in unnecessary war,
sacrificed the lives OF many of our noblest sons
and placed the United States, previously
known and applauded throughout the world
as the champion OF freedom, in the false and
un-American position of crushing with military
force the efforts OF our former allies to achieve
liberty and self-government The Filipinos
cannot be citizens without endangering our
civilization; they cannot be subjects without
imperilling our form OF government, and as
we are not willing to surrender our civilization
or to convert the republic into an empire, we
favor an immediate declaration of the nation 9
purpose to give the Filipinos, first, stable
form or governments; second independence;
and, third, protection from outside interfer-
ence, such as has been given for nearly q cen
fury to the republics of central and south
America"
Bryan then pleads with the demo-
Gratis in congress to place the repub.
licans on record by forcing them to
adopt or reject the above plan for
dealing with the Filipinos. He further
proceeds to argue the question in his
own forceful style. A few excerpts
will serve to show his line of argu-
ment:
more than year has elapsed since the
election of 1900, which according to the repub-
lican prophecy, was to terminate the war in
the Philippines. Every month has shown more
clearly the failure of republican arguments
and the evils Of an imperialistic policy
"The imperialists seem as little concerned
about the death of American soldiers as they
do about the killing of natives"
1.-THE war is unnecessary because the Fill
pinos are ready to lay down their arms when
ever independence is promised them.'
when one understands that we must put
the Filipinos into training for ultimate citizen
ship or condemn them to perpetual servitude
under colonial system he readily sees why
the republicans refuse to divulge their pur-
pose" e.- NJ -.
There would be instruction now in Cuba
If we had treated the Cubans as we have
treated the Fdlipinos; there would now be
peace in the Philippines il we had treated the
Fiipinos as we have treated the Cubans." -

The ''re-organizers"' headed by Me-
Clelland of New York made an effort
at the democratic caucus last Satur-
day to supplant the Kansas City plat
form with one that would be 'broad"
enough for the Cleveland democracy
to stand on. Ball of Texas offered
the Kansas City platform as substi-
tute for McClelland resolutions. The
battle between the two irreconcllable
forces claiming possession of the same
party name seemed imminent, but was
temporarily avoided by referring the
resolutions to committee.

ton, they fight us, and we have found that
they are able to force us to vast expendit-
ures.
III we protect them from outside interfer-
ence, they fight the nation which attacks them
instead OF fighting us, and if they can give
other nations as much trouble as they have
given us they will not require much help from
US to maintain their independence"
Bryan's arguments against the i'm
perialistic treatment of the Filopinos
are unanswerable. No one will at
tempt to refute them-if they have to
be met it will be with ridicule or sar-
castle evasion.
But while recognizing the correct
ness OF his reasoning on the question
involved in this issue, we are unable
to agree that in it's being made the
central issue of a campaign the evils
that are threatening the life of the re-
public will be cured thereby. Bryan
closes his appeal as follows:
III the democrats will present unit ed front
on this 1ssue-an issue upon which the Kansas
City convention vas unanimous-there is hope
OF victory that will not only reinstate the
democratic party, but restore the govern
ment to its old foundations and the nation to
that high position among the nations to which
It's ideas and its ideals have entitled It,"
It a man is suffering from bad
boil on his nose and the world is
thereby made aware of the fact that he
is suffering from poisonous substances
in his blood, the most important thing
for that man to do is adopt some
means for purifying his blood rather
than to devote his main efforts to sup
press the boil. He may be able to
drive away the boil from his face and
thus deceive the world as to his con-
dition, but the chances are that he
will be forced to nurse boils that will
continually be breaking out on other
parts OF his body; until he removes
the root of the evil.
The populists are agreed with the
Kansas City platform on the Philip
pine question, but they regard it more
as an outgrowth of the Imperialism
existing at home. AS long as the poi
son of Imperialism is allowed to die
tate and control in our own states; it
is idle to fight merely the symptoms of
1t as they crop out abroad.
Mr.. Bryaa's hope as expressed
above, and we confess that it appears
to us forlorn hope, contains just q
suspicion of desire to get together
on something in order to win. The
trust question is looming up bigger
than ever. It involves the question
of public or private control of the in
struments of commerce, the most i'm
portant of which is the medium of ex-
change-money, the highways of the
nation-the railroads, and the trans
mission of intelligence-the mails,
telegraphs and telephones. If the
democratic party is not prepared by
reason of internal discussions to cope
with the parent evil of imperialism it
should not win at all. The trusts
would welcome 9 victory of the demo-.
cratic party II they could be reason
ably certain that it would demoralize
and destroy that party In the CONT
dence Of the people. Unless It can
hold its public men to the work Of

woods echo, howled in derision. In
many instances the editors knew that
the governor was acting right and in
most cases they would have applauded
the same acts by republican execu-
tive. But because they were ''repub-
ltcan" papers and to some extent were
supported by politicians to whom a
politicalparty name means nothing un-
lesss they can use it for ''pie, plumber
and pelf," they thought that they were
obliged to denounce anything good
that a demo-pop governor might do.
Now when Gov. Van SAINT has q
chance of a lifetime to do something
for the people and he does his best to
improve it, we are pleased to see the
popu)ist papers of the state, with some
few exceptions, give the governor am.
pie credit for what he has done and
reserve their Judgment until such time
as they will have something to base
an opinion upon. To do otherwise is
to give comfort to the enemies of the
public, the powerful insurgents
against the laws of the state. Gov.
Van SAINTS action may be of immense
benefit to the commonwealth. Not be-
cause he will accomplish directly what
he proposes to do. The matter will
probably be taken out of his hands by
the courts. But his stand has taken
off the muzzle of corporation inlu-
ence from many a moulder of public
opinion, placed there by party disci-
pine, and the public will for a time
be schooled in the evils of private
monopoly of public utilities. The
"pie, plumber and pelt' politicians will
soon bring their party back to a non
committal position again, which win
enable them to work the people on one
hand while they milk the corporations
with the other, and the people will
perhaps continue to say, amen, but
the seeds of truth will be allowed to
