STIRRING UP THE PARTIES
Roosevelt and Bryan Constantly at
Work with Their Respec-
tive Followers.

1t is a noticeable fact that Theodore
Roosevelt and William ]. Bryan have
something in common in their notions
of methods of political action. The
chief difference between them, remarks
the St. Paul Globe, is that one of them
is at the head of a powerful and highly
| organized party and in power, while
the other is skirmishing around the
ramparts. They both, however, start
from the purpose that the most sue
eessful way to organize a party that
| will cohere and do things is to make
the appeal direct to the individual. Mr..
Roosevelt is doing that because he has
sense enough to see that, unless it is
leavened by some participation on the
part of the people, his party is doomed
speedily to disastrous downfall. Mr..
Bryan is doing it because he sees that
this is the way to conduct the most
| successful attack upon an enemy en-
trenched Lehind place and patronage.
We are glad to see these movements
| going forward, no matter who con-
ducts them or in whose interest they
are planned. The future of this coun-
try-perhaps it is not going too far to
say the future of our Institutions
depends upon a lively and continued
interest by the individual voter. The
tendency of late has been all the other
way. A party has gravitated toward a
vast machine, abundantly financed,
we'll differed and warranted to run
forever. JUS as oon as the people
settle down complacently and acquiese
in this arrangement, it matters little
whether a, government call itself dem
ocracy, a%ristocracy or monarchy. 1t
will have a governing class, and the
people will take what they can get and
be content with 1t.
The highest fortunes of the nation
, and those of the individual are tied up
with the constant bringing home to
each man of a realization of his duty
to the state. 1t is his business to get
out and work. He belongs at the pri-
mary. in the caucus and in the con-
vention as well as at the polls. This
restoration of the old enthusiasm and
/ the old patriotic feeling is the only
salvation from the wave of corrupt ma.
nipulation that rolls SO high in the po-
litcal sea. Not at the top, not with
the machine, not even IN the regular
party organization on either side will
great reforms be instituted and car.
ried out; but we must appeal to the
character, the devotion and the stead.
fastness Of the people themselves.
Any movement, no matter what ii
calls itself, which looks toward this
r~ejuvenation should have sympathy
1t may be crude in form and it may
work temporarily some misfortune by
excess of radical ideas, but 1t will save
the country from that concession tc
the rule of the machine, well lubri
Gated with oceans of cash, for which
we have but to look to Washington
to-day to find a striking example.

~"LIBERATED" IN VAIN.
Failure of Americans to Enter In
and Possess the Philip
pine Islands.

The recent census of the Philippines
shows that out of a population of more
than 1000, 900 there are less than $4,000
foreigners and that of the latter only
5000 are Americans.
1t is almost seven years since Admiral
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in
Manila bay and took possession OF the
archipelago in the name Of the United
States. Since the LIST OF May, 1898, many
a town on this continent has grown from
a mere camp to a city of more than 5000
people.
II there ever was any reason for the
annexation of the Philippines, says the
republican Chicago Chronicle, it was to
be found in the fact that there was q
prospect that Americans would enter in
and possess the land. If there is any
curiosity to know why this has not been
done it can be explained by the state
ment that the way has not been pre-
pared for them.
So far as American citizenship is con-
cerned there is no more reason why citi-
zens Of the United States should risk
their lives, their liberties and their for
tunes there to-day than there was ten
or 20 years ago. For all practical pur-
poses the islands are as foreign and as
hostile now as they were when they were
under the rule Of the Spanish mon
archy.
American expansion can be justified OH
ono ground only, and that is the adj
vantage that may accrue to the Ameri-
can people themselves. II new coun-
tries opened up by the expenditure OF
our blood and treasure are not prepared
for the occupancy Of Americans they are
taken and liberated" in vain.
