A DEMOCRATIC OPINION.

Senator Money, of Mississippi, has
an opponent for his seat liz the SEN
ate in the person of Governor Lon
gino. The editor of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal, a democratic
paper, while complimenting the men
for the dignified canvass which they
are making for the position gives ut
terance to the following very sensible
sentiments, and such as are not US
ually found in the democratic press:
1T is unfortunate that the exigen-
cies of politics should compel gentle
men of intelligence to waste their
time on dead issues and questions that
are settled. We have the Philippines,
and We are going to retain them.
Everyone knows this.
$50 valuable are these possessions
from material and strategic point of
view, that we are gobbling up every
thing in sight, and our warships are
said to have gone so far as to raise
the Stars and Stripes over islands off
the coast of Borneo which the British
lay claim to.
Imperialism, so called, is here, and
while it may furnish text for AGA
demic discussion in political cam
paigns, the real question is how best
to manage and control the Islands,
how best to govern them, how best
to give the swarthy people the fullest
possible measure of our superior civ
ilization. American liberty is good
enough for any kind of people. and it
is boon which will be appreciated
by the Filipinos as soon as they can
understand it and are fitted to re-
ceive it.
ave have just completed sub-ma-
-rine cable connecting all of our ISL
ands with this country, and soon this
will be extended to the Asiatic coast.
Talk of giving up anything is non
sense, and very poor quality of non
sense at that
In connection with imperialism"
he brings in a few tariff remarks,
which read as though they might have
been uttered by Mckinley or Dingley.
He says:
1t would be interesting to know
how the cotton planters feel when
candidates tell them about the evils
of expansion. Before We opened up a
route of our own to the markets OF
the east, planters were at the mercy
of middlemen, and received for their
cotton from II to Z cents a pound.
Since asserting ourselves and going
into business on our own hook plant
ers have been receiving as high as l3
cents pound for their staple, and
there is no reason to expect a return
to low prices, because we are now
reaching many millions of people who
are buying cotton goods and who
could not get them before.
when statesmen insist on return
to the conditions that produced scent
cotton, they may be very interesting.
but they cannot expect planters to en-
thuse very much over the PROPOSE
tron. Such arguments are tolerated
only because the sensible planters
know that no matter what the vagaries
of individual democrats, the American
people are not going to desert them
or permit return to conditions from
which they were only too glad to es-
cape.''

A Mental vacuity.

The editor of the 'hurled" cannot
resist natural inclination to appro-
pirate the product of the intellect of
others, and pass them off as an eman-
alton from a skull which nature set on
his head for ornamental purposes
solely, net to be used. Chatting under
the humiliation of being caught in a
trap set for him, he attempted in a very
seOiIe way last evening to wiggle out
of it, by using an illustration which
was very aptly applied to him in this
engaged in discussion a few days
ago in front of the Head Hotel, when
the ''hurled" editor "butted" in and
proceeded to give an exhibition of his
sernility, by attempting to present,
what, to the vacant space in his cram
ium, where brains are supposed to be
placed, but which in mis- case was, I'M
fortunately to him, overlooked by ma
ture, appeared as an argument, when
DIR. Lewis, one of the party remarked
to him:
Mac, in trying to lind an idea you
remind me of calf in stubble field,
kicking at yellow jackets, and you hit
one about as often as the calf does a
yellow jacket"
That ''windy hemorrhage' joke
which he coupled with the above, was
brought back from Chicago by him,
and was another one con him." but
out of genuine charity for mental
vacuity for which nature, and not he !
is responsible, the Journal Miner will (
refrain from giving the story, as with 4
