THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
Hypocrisy Of a New England Rapnh
lean Platform.

For sublime effrontery and unblush-
Ing falsehood. 1t would be hard to beat
this declaration which appears in the
platform Of the New Hampshire Re.
%publicans: "The Republican parry,
since Ii was restored to power, has
fought q successful war with Spain"
1t is a matter OF history that the Nc.
KinIey Administration did everything
in its power to avoid a war with Spain,
but was forced to undertake it he
cause Of the popular agitation in favor
Of it, which was shared alike by Dem
ocrats and Republicans in Congress
and by the press Of both parties. In
its Inception the war was entirely
just. There were at least as many
Democrats as Republicans actively
engaged in il, and the decisive blows
at Manila and Santiago Were struck
by Dewey and Schley, both Of whom
are Democrats.
For what has been done in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines since
the war was brought to a successful
conclusion. the Republican party Is
welcome to assume the responsibility.
These include the negotiation Of a
treaty with Cuba, which has helped
to make the Cubans Our enemies rain.
er than our friends; the subsection oil
the Filiplnos, who were struggling Ne
rolcally for freedom, and who were our
allies in driving Spain from the Isl

Declaration of Independence and the
buncoing Of the people of Porto Klco,
who are now in a worse plight in
some respects than they were wien
under Spanish rule. And to sum II
all up, the Republican party Is ehuusu

ROUSES SUSPICION.
Everlasting Habit OF Republicans Of
G~rasplng Credit For All Good.

Claiming all virtues for the Repub-
llean party. and telling what 1--WE"
have done does not stop criticism, but,
rather, tends to arouse suspicion that
the charges made against Republican
policies and practice cannot be dis
proved. That the tariff-fostered trusts
are plundering the people by greatly
increasing the cost of living is too pat
ent for a bold denial to count with a
voter, who is paying from thirty to
forty per cent. more for necessaries OF
living than in 1897.
Claiming that wages have been adj
vanced at the same ratio as the cost
Of living will not convince the work
a that has had his wage reduced
that prosperity is rampant, although
Roosevelt may boast and Fairbanks
smilingly may say so.
Standing pat may suit the trusts, but
claiming that everything is so fa-
vorable under Republican policies that
no change is needed is poor consolation
for those who find themselves being
plundered by the trusts. with their in
come standing still so that their abil-
ity to pay has decreased one-third. 1t
is easy to claim, but difficult to ex-
plain when the facts are against you.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1904-10-13

How the tariff operates and the
trusts give our own people the worst of
it can hardly be better Illustrated than
in the case Of steel rails sold in Can
ada and the United States. There is
a railway which runs along the border
between the two countries, sometimes
In its course being on this side and
sometimes across the border. 1t is re-
markable that rails for use OH the
Canadian part of the railway are sold
for S2l a ton, while those for use on
the American side cost the same road
S2S a ton. This = the case of one
road. The New York Central is an
other railway which has to undergo
the same experience illustrative of the
Inequalities of the protective tariff
system, and how it operates against
the very people it proposes to protect.

AGREES WITH PARKER:
Justice Brewers Attitude In Accord
with That Of the Democratic
Candidate.

Mr.. Justice Brewer. Of the supreme
Court. will get into trouble n he keeps
on talking ms he did yesterday at 81.
Louis about the Constitution VS.. the
Republican policy In the Philippines.
Why. he apparently takes the same
view MS Judge Parker! This Is in fat
violation Of the only common law that
the President knOws-the law, name
~. that good Republicans must swal-
low their convictions aud support all
that he Zoos, Judge Brewer should
remember that he was a Republican
before 10 was n jurist. He was not
put on thc bench TO furnish aid and
comfort 70 the Democrats. Imagine n
Republican Senate ever confirming his
appointment 10 the Supreme Court II
II had imagined that he would balk
Mt finding the law for whatever the
party wanted to do! The Justice. we
dare say, would draw himself up II any
suggestion were made to him that he
ought to he n partisan on the bench.
and would rufle in Lord Coke's style
about doing "as becometh n judge:"
but he shOnld understand that we are
changing all that in these high-fiying
days when a President announces that
he will pay no attention to any Consti-
tutional provision which. in his opin-
ion. would reduce him TO impotence"

Telegram Not Fooled.

The New York Evening Telegram
declines TO be fooled by the absurd
boastings of the inspired organs of the
g. o. p. Not only does this enterpris-
ing and w~ide-awake independent news
paper refuse to credit these improbs
able yarns, but it actually prints a
map showing the political situation as
it appears TO be to-day to impartial
observers. The only absolutely certain
Roosevelt territory, according to the
Telegram, is New England and a part
OF the Middle West. Perhaps the Tel.
egram errs in not giving the Republic
cans a better show on the Pacific
Coast, but with this exception, its prog.
nostcations may not be 20 far out Of
the way.

BRYAN'S ATTITUDE.
To Hasten Time For the Triumph
of Democratic Principles by Snip
port of Parker.

-
Persistent reports are being cireu-
lated both East and West that Colonel
William j.. Bryan will not support the
Democratic nominees in the coming
Presidential election. The latest Of
these reports is attributed to Chan
cefior L. Benjamin Andrews, OF Ne
braska University.
at the present time" Chancellor
Andrews is quoted as saying, there is
every chance that Roosevelt will secure
the electoral vote of Nebraska, that
the Republican State ticket will be
elected, and that the Fusion element
will dominate the Legislature and elect
W. j. Bryan next Senator from that
State"
In complete refutation Of the sugges-
tion quoted above, one has only to read
Colonel Bryan's attitude to the Ma
tional ticket as set forth in a ringing
speech delivered by him in Missouri
in the early part Of the campaign, in
which he urged all Democrats TO sup
port the ticket faithfully. In the
course of this speech, Colonel Bryan
said:
4 believe in the triumph Of every
righteous principle and I have such
faith in the r~ightness Of our cause that
I am not afraid that any policy in
which we have confidence can be de
feated by the election of a Democratic
President. even though he may not
agree with us on all questions. n he
will help us remove the issues which
now distract attention and prevent a
consideration Of economic questions,
we can await the time when the people
can again give their attention TO the
Industrial situation. You can hasten
the coming Of this time by your sup
port Of the Democratic ticket"

MARRYING IN THE ARMY.
Glass Distinction 10 Be Fostercd by
Corbin's Proposition.

General Corbin's idea that army life
should be governed as a social ard ar
i~stocratic organism was probably inn
bibed in Germany, where the General
appeared on drezs parade q year or so
ago as a guest Of the Kaiser. That his
idea has the cordial appreciation Of
President Roosevelt, there can be little
doubt. For it Is at least a minor step
In the Presidents grand march toward
full-ledged imperialism"
In brief, General Corbin proposes
that no officer in the army shall marry
without the authority of the Secretary
OF War, and not then unless he can
prove to the satisfaction of the Secre-
tary, that his income will be sufficient
to support himself and his family. Such
a rule prevails in Germany. with the
result that n lot of rich. and in many
cases, silly girls, have been brought in
to army circles; class distinction has
been fostered and army officers there
have become indolent, insolent and
profigate.
The best army officers In the world
have been bred in this country and
without interference by the Govern
ment In their private domestic affairs.
The great American generals were. as
a rule. married men. having families
dependent upon them. and although
their salaries were small in compari-
son with those paid TO officers OF like
rank now. they contrived TO get along
and usually do something better than
make both ends meet. Yankee soldiers
have been accustomed to go into battle
to the tune Of "The Girl I Left Be-
hind Me-" and this custom Is likely TO
be kept up long after General Corbin
shall have ceased TO ape the customs
so dear to the heart OF the Kaiser and
his would-be rival, President Roose-

the appreciation of Judge Parker's
