safe to declare the democratic issue for the
next presidential race. An appeal to the
country Is to be made next fall, and anti
Imperialism will undoubtedly be demo-
cratic cry in certain sections Of the coun-
try then. And If the democrats carry the
next House, anti-imperialism, on the
strength of the winning, may serve as the
issue also for 1904. But suppose the re-
puhiicans carry the House partly on the
strength of the party's general attitude on
the Philippine question? Would it be wise
for the democrats to contest the point
again so soon afterward? In that case
won't anti-imperialism be about as dead as
+ ee siiverF Why ask the people to re-
verse In the presidential race judgment
they have SO recently rendered in the con-
gressional racesf
But II anti-lmperalism does win next fall,
and retains its potency two years later, why
not Mr.. Bryan for a third nomination? Why
talk about Tom johnson, or anybody else,
for leadership which Mr.. Bryan, with
few concessions, would so well fill7 Who
has sounded the note of anti-imperialism
more loudly than he? Whose speeches on
the subject a~e more eloquent than those
he delivered in the campaign of 1900? He
has made the topic almost his own. He
likes II Almost as much as he does the topic
of silver There Is that ingredient of ca
lamity in 1t which thoroughly develops the
fire of his soul. Like the doctor who threw
all of his patients into fits because he was
death on fits, Mr.. Bryan shapes all of his
utterances in a calamity pattern because
he finds himself so fluent on the subject of
calamity.
OF course Mr.. Bryan would have to be
silent as to silver. He would have to make
that concession to the eastern wing of the
party led by Mr.. Hill and Mr.. German.
And in doing that he would merely be
taking the advice that Mr.. Hill gave him
in 1900 when the carpenters We're at work
on the Kansas City platform. The New
York leader travelled all the way to Lincoln
to urge upon Mr.. Bryan the wisdom of be-
ing silent as to silver but very vociferous
as to CaeSarism. Bat the Nebraskan, sure
of denomination and full of self-confidence
and assertion, insisted on making silver
prominent in the platform; and he made it
so prominent that he destroyed in the east
what might otherwise have been the good
effect of his treatment of the question of
anti-imperialism.

bers returns before making up our minds

Tonight's Adjourned Caucus.

The adjourned caucus of the republicans
of the House will reassemble tonight The
pending proposition is for the appointment
of committee of eleven to investigate and
report upon the restriction of suffrage In
all of the states. 1t is deserving of adop-
ton.
The strangest objection brought against
the enforcement of the Constitution of the
United States in the matter of suffrage in
the south is that it really would condone
the closing of the polls to deserving men of
color and keep them closed. Now the very
opposite of that is the truth. 1t would
force revision of the suffrage laws
throughout the south. and give merit and
Intelligence proper recognition regardless of
the color of a voters skin. The south, for
the purpose of exercising as much power as
possible under the Constitution, would en-
roll as many of her people as were worthy
of 1t. Her pride and her interests would
speedily break down the close political cor
porations which machine operators have es-
ia blished there. AS soon as she found that
she could no longer secure something for
nothing she would hasten to earn all that
might be possible, and by the same means
required of other sections.
The south is reluctant to surrender her
unlawful political power and her northern
allies, for selfish considerations, support
her in that attitude. The combination has
twice secured control of the country and
the present play is for another attempt in
1904. With the south excluded from de-
batable ground, the democracy has but to
figure for success in a few states, whose
votes, added to those of the south, make
the required number in the electoral col
lege.
But this arrangement in it's application
has been very expensive to the south and
to the democratic party. 1t made New York
for years the tyrant of the party. Presi-
dental aspirants were measured SOLELY with
regard to their strength in that state. The
civil service examination was embraced in
one question: Can he carry New York;"
If not, the fatal cross was chalked above
his door, and his ambition was cartel to
the guillotine. In thirty years the tumbrils
| bore Bayard, Thurman, Hendricks. McDon-
aid, English, Payne, William Allen, Pendle-
ton, David Davis, Lyman Trumbuii and
David B. Hill, not to mention Morgan, Eus-
| tbs, Ben HILL Lamar, Carlisle ard CockreIl
| whom the south would not even permit to
aspire.
And after all this labor what, or rather
| whom, did the mountain produce? Daniel
| Manning, an Albany politician of much ma
tive shrewdness, presented to the party as
Its leader the mayor of Buffalo The party

| ton.

many Of them who might secure work who
do not seek 1t. This condition leads to a
demand for the bringing in Of Chinese
This statement led Senator Hale to in
quire concerning the presence Of Chinese.
Governor Taft replied that the contractors
and business men generally contend for the
necessity Of bringing In Chinese labor. This
importation was, however, generally resent
ed by the natives, not SO much because OF
the competition Of the Chinese as laborers
as because of their competition as mer-
chants The Chinaman generally saved his
wages, and in a few months would estab-
lish store, the result being that the next
door neighbor, who is native, will be
driven out. Under the present regulations
no Chinese are admitted"
American contractors-principally rail-
road contractors-are responsible for the i'm
portation of Chinese into this country,
Coolie labor appealed to their pocketbooks.
1t was both cheap and of a slavish spirit.
So the contractors, magnifying their diff
culties, overpraising the Chinese, and I'M
derrating American labor, started in to flood
the country with Asiatics, regardless OF any
other question but the amount of pay for
days work. In no great time they dis
covered. as did the country, that far greater
questions were involved, and that on every
ground the American 1aborer was entitled
to protection against such competition. And
that protection was afforded.
The present superiority of the Chinaman
over the Filipino as laborer or money
maker is no reason for admitting him into
the archipelago. The Filipino doesn't want
him there, manifests the most extreme
hatred for those who are in the islands,
and asks protection against further tmpor-
tations. He Is entitled to be heard. We
are responsible for him, and should con-
slider his welfare. Let us not exploit the
archipelago through the agency of contract
ors and merchants giving preference to
the Chinese over the natives. We take the
Filipino after he has been oppressed for
centuries. Naturally he is incompetent. But
who shall say that good pay and oppor-
tunity and encouragement will not rapidly
develop him into laborer altogether wor-
thy OF his hire? Whatever we do in that
part of the world, let us not set up a
Chinese colony under the folds of the stars
and stripes
