Americans are not in these islands
to exploit them. They are not here
to pursue the policy pursued by the
Spaniards, but policy that will ele-
waite and ennoble the Malay race. To
accomplish the purpose for which
God sent us here we must be true to
ourselves and as virtuous, as moral
and as honest as we would be at
home. We are closely watched and
any lack of principle on our part has
it's effect at once on the Filipinos. If
we are among q race that is immoral
we, at least, should be moral. The

lean who lives up to the high ideals

TRYING TO HARMoNIZE.
The Democracy Is Having a Hard
Time Smoothing Out fractional
Differences.

According to the tenor of a great
deal of newspaper talk, democratic
party reorganization goes merrily on,
but it goes on in such a balky sort
of way, that the man who can put
his finger on any spot and say: "This
is the nucleus of the future har-
monized democracy" ought to be
elected permanent political weather
prophet. Is there any leader of pres
idential magnitude who offers rally
ing point? Oh, no! There is David B.
Hill, he is out for it, but if it be true
that Bryan still controls even third
of the party, it is just as true that
that control will prevent any NOM
ination of Hill, or Hill man in 1904.
German has his eye on the place, but
the same influence stares him malig-
nantly in the face. Bryan himself is
out of the question, even if his own
modesty does not preclude his candi-
dacy. All that is left of leadership
above the horizon clusters sporad-
ically about the names of Tom John
son, of Cleveland; Carter Harrison,
of Chicago; Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Olney, of Massachusetts,,
says the San Francisco Argonaut.
But surely there are issues that will
unite the party! Oh, no, not par
| ticularly. They are all agreed on
certain vague principles known as
Jeffersonian, but on matters of prac-
teal value in winning elections, sew.

very simple. 1t is to rouse the masses,
who he is firmly convinced look upon
principle as more important than ex-
pediency, to the point where they will
use their power to prevent the reor-
ganizing element from taking charge
of affairs.
He has become aware that an in
sidious attempt is being made with
all the signs of concert of action, by
leaders who We're pushed to the back
ground by the uprising of 1896 to re-
assert their influence and again to
get into control. He realizes that it
is a situation fraught with consider
able danger to his continued leader
ship, but he is willing to abdicate if
thereby he can secure the success of
his faction.
The reorganizers lay entirely too
much stress upon the belief that Bryan
is anxious again to lead the national
democracy as its candidate AS a
matter of fact, that is very little in
his mind. What concerns him most
is the fear that through apathy the
reins of leadership may drift back
into the hands that formerly held
them.
His concern is to prevent this and
to secure the nomination in 1904 of
some man who stands with him upon
the main planks of the Kansas City
platform. Here in Nebraska it is be-
lieved that his real choice is Tom
johnson. mayor of Cleveland, and the
three conferences that have taken
place between them in the past seven
months are looked upon as corrobo-
rative evidence.
Mr.. Bryan will publicly commit him
eslf no further than to say that any
good man who is in good standing
can have his support.

BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN PLANS.
Still Stands by the Kansas
City Platform.

1t is believed that William Jennings
Bryan brought back some interesting
news from his recent lecture tour
through the south. The news relates
to the stories that the south was
ready to turn from the Kansas City
platform to accept the leadership of
David Bennett Hill, says a Lincoln
(Neb.) report in the New York Sun.
Mr.. Bryan is not talking for publica
ton, but he makes no secret to his
particular friends of his satisfaction
democratic politics in the south. While
he discovered that leaders like Bailey,
men with ambitions of their own to
follow, have indicated their intention
of allying themselves with that fac
ton of the democratic party which
promises the quickest success ma
tionally, he found the rank and file still
loyal.
The west he regards as morally GER
tain to stand by the Kansas City plat
form, and whatever successes are
achieved in the congress campaign
this fall he is sure will inure to the
benefit of the regular democracy.
At Washington he found unexpected
friendliness among democrats from all
parts of the country, save the middle
states. The centralw he looks upon
as the real fighting ground of the de-
mocracy in preliminary skirmishes,
and here he proposes to go next, for
the purpose of looking after his
| fences.
Mr.. Bryan's plan of campaign is
