Mr.. Schurz and Mr.. BRYAN.

Speaking for himself and his associates
who signed the recent anti-imperiaIist de-
liverance. Carl Schurz says:
We are convinced that the American peo-
pie are heartily tired of this Philippine busi-
ness. and that if some powerful leader, such
as the President of the United States. should
boldly and frankly put himself at the head
of movement having for it's declared aim
the setting up of the Philippines under an
independent government, the United States
protecting them against foreign interfer-
ence, a large majority of the republican
party, too. would heave deep sigh of re-
lief and applaud him with enthusiasm"
1t would require "a powerful leader" in
deed, to carry TO success such a movement
as is here proposed. But he is not on the
cards. The President of the United States
is the man who has said that the flag will
stay put" in the Philippines The country
applauded the sentiment, and its author
still stands by it. He is not likely to
change. There are other powerful leaders
in the republican party, but none is for
scuttle. Their power in some measure is
derived, as is the Presidents. from an un-
willingness to back out of piece of busi
ness because of its difficulty
BY far the most powerful leader in our
politics who stands unreserv edly for Mr.
Schurzs proposition is Mr.. Bryan. The
two men are in the most thorough agree
ment on that subject. They state the case
in almost precisely the same terms. Mr.
SchurZ for his part is no more heartily
ired of this Philippine business than is
Mr.. Bryan. Why then does not Mr.. Schurz
rally his friends to the support of Mr.. Bry-
an? Is it because Mr.. Bryan is still for
free silver? Cannot he be pardoned that
IL view of the fact that Mr.. SchurZ and his
friends believe that free silver is dead, and
that ant-imperialism is the supreme issue
of the hour?
MIR. Schurz is mistaken. There is no con-
trolling sentiment in the United States in
favor of scuttle. a great many people re-
gret the Philippine situation, and find it diff
ficult to imagine what the end may be. But
the last proposition TO which they would
give their approval at the ballot box is that
stated by Mr.. SchurZ and his New England
colleagues. We have Yet a great deal to
learn about the Filipinos, but we know
enough not to undertake to protect a gov
ernment Of their organization against all
outside interference. While We remain in
the archipelago shall retain full sover-
eighty, and be responsible to the outside
world for conditions there. But when We
retire-if that day ever comes-we shall not
cucumber ourselves with a protectorate
which if assumed might bring us any day
into collision with the half of Europe.

candidate, and very strong one. Mr.. Shaw
Is man of force, and his popularity
throughout the northwest Is very consider
able. He Is at once capital speaker and
a thorough organizer. and he would. Of
course, have put his best foot foremost in so
great contest.
But the northwest would probably have
had another candidate in the person OF Sem
ator Spooner. who has been growing In the
public respect so rapidly that he Is now one
of his party's most interesting national fig
ures. The Wisconsin statesman, Indeed,
ranks with the men who do things. and as
President of the United States would add to
his reputation
Mr. Hanna would undoubtedly have been
in the field, although not improbably he
would have had rival in his colleague,
Mr.. Foraker. Both are men of merit, and
either as a presidential candidate would
have made the campaign Of 1904 an excit-
ing one.
Just across the line in Indiana lives Sena-
tor Fairbanks. with high ambition and
strong organization, and in the neighboring
state of Illinois Governor Yates is regarded
by his party friends as a very promising
man.
All of these men, however. and others.
who might have been rivals Of Mr.. Roose-
Welt in 1904, are now, by reason of the act
which made him President. his supporters.
He not only stands for the party. but he is
carrying himself in office so as to excite
the party's admiration. He is showing him
self a most worthy successor of the wise
and capable man who was killed, and en-
titled to his party's further consideration.
Nothing, indeed, seems more likely at this
time than Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination two
years hence by acclamation.

laws nor the police regulations provide
sufficient penalty for such misdemeanors,
and. judging from this late experience. 1t
Is demanded by the public welfare that a
move be at once made. either through
the writing of new municipal ordinance
or the enactment of a statute next winter,

JORDAN CHARGED WITH RAPE
The Victim Of His Alleged Crime Is Twelve.
Year.OId Child.

Last Friday morning John Jordan a
married man, was brought from John
Inghram's farm and lodged in Jail on
charge of rape committed upon the "a
year-old daughter Of Mr.. Inghram.
Saturday morning Jordan was arraigned
before Judge Reese and his examination
set for tomorrow. Bond was fixed at
5000 which was not given. Jordan, it
is said, has made statement to the girl s
father and the officers admitting his guilt.
About two years ago Mr.. Inghram sent
east for Jordan and his wife to come to
his home and assist him in his farm
work and the care Of his motherless
children. In all the intervening time
nothing transpired to cause Mr.. Inghram
to regret bringing these people to his
home, their efforts were always the best.
But recently .hange came. Other em-
ployes about the farm suruiised that all
was not we'll between Jordap and the
little girl. An investigation was made
and the arrest followed.
Mrs. Jordan is cousin Of Mr.. inghrau
and lady Of excellent character and
this sorrow in her heart must bring from
all tender sympathy, just as sympathy
goes to the motherless child and bereft
father,
