ish make. Sir Alfred Hickman also
made allegations against the way an

Much excitement ensued in the audi

Ohio. Others followed in the same line.
The Ohio women promptly defended
themselves and Mrs Hatton suggested
three minutes of silent prayer, which
was followed by the recitation of the

then resigned from the contest and
truce was declared by the calling of an

A SAD BARGAIN.

In the Arena, Chief Justice Doster, of
Kansas, shows how poor an investment
are our new possessions in the far east
and what little prospect there is of any
return. In the best of all years, 1892,
the total market value of imports and
exports of the Philippines were but
about $30,000;00O. Granting the esti-
mated ten per cent profit, this makes
but 100000 to be divided between
Americans and others. That says
Judge Doster, rs just about one-half
the annual interest charge upon the ex-
penditure thus far incurred in the Phil
lppine war. That expenditure up to
date is at least s2O,Oo0ooO The usual
government interest rate of 8 per cent
on 5000, 100000 makes $6,000,000, or as
much again as the total annual profit
to the whole world on the Philippine
trade, counting that profit at 10 per
cent on the custom house values
Including the supplies of our large
army the united states imports to the
Philippines, are but six per cent of the
whole and of the exports gets % per
cent. Hence, as Judge Doster says: IF
peace were here now the profits on our
Philippine trade for the next two hun
dred years would not give us back the
money thus far expended in the prose
cution of the war, with a reasonable
rate of interest on the amount
Thus seen by the light of the hard
facts our investment in the far east
is the worst ever made.
And the worst of it is in the scram-
BILE for this gold brick Uncle Sam has
trampled his priceless possession-the
Constitution.

The Democratic party IS all right. It
has undergone no change. Its princi-
piles are fixed and immutable. 1t con-
fidently awaits the development of the
national issues for the campaign CT
1904. What these may be no one now
can tell and it is as impossible as abb
surd to attempt to build a Democratic
platform in advance, as some ambitious
politicians are endeavoring to do for
their own selfish purposes. Like DAN
iel Webster the Democratic party stands
upon the Constitution and needs no
other platform for the time being. What
the direct issues may be in the cam
palgn of 1904 no one now can possibly
foresee. They will be determined by
the people when the time comes and
will be measured by the fundamental
Democratic principles of strict Consti-
tutional construction and preservation
Of the liberty of American manhood
Neither candidate nor platform are to
be made at this time. The man of the
hour says our st. Louis contemporary
may arise in a Southern State for the
first time since the civil war If the
man appears there is not enough Sec
tional prejudice lief. to bar his way to
the nomination. In issues and in the
man Dmocratic craftsmanship will be
demanded. The country is travelling at
fast pace. Startling changes in inter-
nal trade methods are leaving legisla-
ton behind. We may have foreign
war policy to decide The tariff is ris-
ing again to Importance as an issue un-
der the operations of the trusts. The
colonial question, declared in conven-
ton last Year the paramount issue, is
yet to be settled.
The sweep of events is rapid and no
man can stem the tide The small-bore
statesmen now laying down the law to
the Democracy or talking nonsense
about reorganizating the parry will be
swept to the rear when the lines are
drawn for the real battle of the people.
The people will decide the issues and
choose their leaders at the proper time,
for it is they who rule the Democratic
organization.
