.V EXIGENCY OF WAR.
It is a coDdition, not a theory, that
confronts us in the Philippines, and
however much the Democratic press
and Democratic orators may give
vent to tirades of language and
ironical innuendoes the fact cannot
tie denied, there bas never been a
day cr an hour since Admiral Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila
harbor that the United States could
have withdrawn her fleet or army
from these islands with honor to her
self or safety to the foreign residents.
The islands were forced upon us by
one of those unforeseen exigencies
of war, which fnqucntly have hap
pened to change the policy of a
nation. It was so when we sent our
armies to protect the Lone Star re
public of Texas from the marauding
Mexicans, aud which culminated in
an American army entering the City
of Mexico as conquerors, and in
annexing under our flag the region
now constituting the state of Cali-
fornit and the territories of New
Mexico mid Arizona.
If it had been put to a vote of the
American people, when war was de
clared against Spain, whether we
should accomplish the taking of
Guam and the conquest of the Phil
jppines, as a war measure, the uni
verssi verdict at the ballot box would
'have been against such a course,
'Fortunately, or unfortunately, soon
after the declaration of war, Dewey,
-In command of the Asiatic fleet, was
at Hong Kcng and received informa
tion that Monlijo, with the Spanish
fleet, was in Manila bay, GOO miles
distant. If he had steamed away
and left the Spaniard alone, Cervera's
ships would have been reinforced in
Santiago harbor, and the brilliant
victory of Sampson and Schley would
not have gilded the pages of Ameri
can history. Everyone must ac
knowledge that the action of Admiral
Dewey was a brilliant feat of naval
warfare, and justly entitles him to
the crown of the greatest hero of the
American navy. Again, if after the
-destruction of the Spanish fleet he
had considered the fruits of victory
complete, and had steamed out of
the harbor and left the city of Manila,
wiih its 200,000 inhabitants, many
of whom were Europeans to its fate,
what would have been the result?
Weakened by the loss of the Spanish
ships, the city would have been an
easy prey to the 30,000 revengeful
Filipinos goaded to desperation by
Spanish cruelly outside the walls,
and a massacre of Germans, English
and Spaniards would have been an
event that would have "staggered
humanity." It was absolutely net-ess-sary
for Dewey to remain within
shooting distance to protect the life
and property of foreign residents.
Even after we had taken possession
of the city, it the blood-thirsty Fili
pinos were allowed to wreak their
vengeance upon the inhabitant, the
streets of the city would have run
oioou, ana we should nave bad a
fearful account to settle with Ger
many, England, France, and even
Spain. If we had left the arrogant
Aguinaldo and his soldiers to work
their own sweet will in their pre
meditated attack on our troops, on
that night in February, Luzon island
would have been a slaughter pen and I
Manila the bloodiest spot of all.
And this premeditated attack was
planned after the treaty of Paris was
signed and the islands ceded to the
United States by the vanquished foe.
Every day of the war in the Philip
pines can be carefully scanned, aid
there has not been a time when n
withdrawal of the American forces
would not have resulted in the worst
anarchy in these islands, and meant
everlasting disgrace and dishonor to
lli American republic and its flag.
However much Democratic orators
may prate about expansion and im
perialism, aud dilate sentimentally
upon the Declaration of Independence
end the consent of the governed, the
facts of history will prove that the
United Slates was the unwilling in
strument of providence iu extending
the beneficence of our laws and insti
lutiont to these tar away Asiatic
islands. It was not a matter of
choice; but was foiccd upon us by
one of those tcirible exigeucies of
war, which cannot be foreseen, and
wbbli m:.st be met bravely and
patiently by all courageous peoples.
When the Filipinos are capable of
self-government when they are sufH
ciently removed from the memory of
Spanish despotism and tbo rancorous
sores are healed, we have no doubt
the congress of the United Stales
will grint them a proper and inde
pendent state of government. At
present, it would be cruel to them
and very unwise in us to grant them
independence and autonomy. Tbey

THE CLASSES VS. THE MASSES.
FOR PARTY PURPOSES.
The campaign, on the (art of the
Democrats, may be said to have- fair
ly begun, and before long the couutry
will be flooded with anti-expansion
speeches, pamphlets on the mistakes
of McKinley, editorials sympathizing
with the Boors and criticising our
course in China. In tact, nothing
that bas happened during the past
four years, uncomplimentary to the
party in power, will be omitted from
campaign literature, and the burden
of all this will-be the necessity for
change in the administration of pub
lic affairs. Republicans can read all
these attacks upon the party, and
quietly seat themselves and think
over matters as tbey are and have
been for the past four years, compare
them with the distressful times
suffered during Cleveland's term as
executive, and then arrive at the
logical conclusion, it is much better
as it is than as it was.
We haven't heard of any financial
disasters since McKinley's inaugura
tion, few bank failures, our credit is
good abroad, and our currency never
on a more solid basis. Wages have
been increased, there has been
demand lor lauor, and once more
the American home is the abode of
contentment and plenty. Tho hungry
hordes that wandered tho streets
during the reign of Democracy have,
in very many instances, found cm
ploy me nt, aud are now well-fed and
happy. This is no picture of the
imagination, but can bo seen every
day in our great commercial and
manufacturing centers. Volumes
may be written about the dangers of
imperialism, stamping out liberty in
he Philippines, the destruction that
threatens our institutions from the
rule of the moneyed classes; but
work at remunerative wages, a happy
home and well-clothed children con
tradicts effectually the tons of party
routlcrings that may burden the
mails until the election in November.
The American citizen thinks, and le
therefore knows that all these
charges and counter charges against
the Republican party by Democrats
are only strenuous efforts made by
the opposition to get power so that
those who have howled themselves
hoarse for many years about the un
limited coinage of silver and the
tetjible trusts m.ty have their oppor
tunity at tho public crib for reve
nue only on a gold basis.

Facts to him arc more convincing
than theories, and a change from Hie
present prosperity to the universal
distress of all classes and depresbion
in all branches of trade that marked
the history of our couutry fiom 1892
to 1896 is something to be dreaded
and most undesirable. 1 lie voter
thinks before he exercises the right
of suffrage, and as ft result there can
be but one conclusion: matters, in
every regard, are better than they
were, and it is dangerous to experi
ment with unsafe and untried
theories.

County Treasurer.
During an era of prosperity there
will be some who will accumulate
wealth and perhaps become million
aires. Thi is true of any proserous
county, and instances might bu cited
of success in ibis line in almost
every nation. When times are bard,
capital uniemuneralive, and currency
unsound, there is little prosperity
anywhere. During the recent de
pression, men who were wealthy one
day were frequently poor the next,
Fluctuations always tended down
ward, values constantly depreciated
acd the onlj safe plan followed was
to hoard what vou bad and make no
speculations. In consequence busi
ness was dull, wages were low, and
the poor became poorer.
There has been a change in the
last three or four j-car, capital has
come out of its hiding places, bust
ness has revived and thrifty men
have made money. Still there are
poor people, the same as there always
have been and always will be. There
are those who could not possibly oe
wealthy mote than a week at a time,
and others who could not be poor
but a little while if tbey had health
and opportunity. Between these
two classes or, as some say, the
masses and the classes there is no
natural antagonism. There should
be no conflict between capital and
labor, or between the rich and the
poor. One cannot exist without the
other, and both are equally depend
ent. Factories, railroads and other
large enterprises coul J not be con
structed without accumulated wealth,
and with accumulated wealth these
could not be built without labor.
The moneyed classes arc a great
benefit to any country, especially to
any region during the era of growth.
Natural resources need development.
markets should be made available
by steam transportation, and labor
made productive by the employment
of modern machinery. All these
require large amounts of money, and
millionaiies are very useful. If it
bad not been for the moneyed class
the western portion of the continent
would not have readied the present
stage of development. Railroads,
large manufactories and other factors
of growth would have been lacking,
and great areas of fertile soil would
have been in a primitive state and
isolated from markets. Chicago.
Milwaukee, Omaha, Denver and San
Francifco would bo incomparably
small to what they are now. Money
has been the open sesarao in the de
velopment of new regions, and this
has usually been accumulated by
thrift, economy and enterprise.
It may be true that tho few" only
arc wcallbv, while the many are'
poor; but is it not also true that
nearly all the rich men in this coun
try were once poor boys? The
money-making or money-saving fac
ulty is rarely possessed by the multi
tude, and he who exercises it usually
suffers the buffets and jibes of his
fellows. He who saves a portion of
his wages, and eventually has a large
and increasing bank account, has a
rough and' rugged road to travel,
and earns in more ways than one all
he has. He is entitled to the case
and luxury that his money brings
hira as a reward for long years of
suffering and self-sacriGcc. It is
almost axiomatic that be who would
succeed in anything must isolate bim-
and by hard
knocks and rough usage accomplish
his purpose, frequently leaving a
host of bitter enemies behind him.
The successful oi.es in life's strug
gles constitute the classes, like the ,,
I v tic J I iy
moneyed men, and the multitude are
gencral'y poor in every regard. The
few arc the very intelligent, and
common sense is sometimes very un
common. There tliould be no antagonism in
this regard. If you wish to be rich,
save something every duv, go with.
out food II necessary, buy cheap
clothing or go ragged, and, above all
this, by any and all means, make
money. Follow these rules, and
anyone, with life and health, may be
wealthy. If you desire to be very
intelligent, study, cheat yourself of
sleep occasionally to pore over books,
train your faculties to think like the
athlete hardens his muscles for foot
ball or the slugging match; but,
above all this, think and know how
to think. The same rules may Le
applied to the varied ambitions that
actuate human lives. To succeed in
any line, one must Lend his energies
in that direction, and the golden
apple of victory will be within the
reach of any and all. The success
ful form the classes and the unsuc
cessful the masses. This distinction
bas always existed and always will.
Japan has been given a free band
by the powers to land a largo force
and march to the relief of the lega
tions in Pekio. The progress of this
little island empire in the last few
years bas been wonderful, and the
woild will soon witness a disciplined
Japanese army, marching side by
side with Russian, English, German
and French soldiers, towards the
Chinese capitol to protect the lives
and property of Europeans, and
avenge the outrageous msuus 10
modem civilization. What Japan is,
China may be if she will only pave
the road for modern advancement,
and not seclude herself within ber
walls of fanaticism and superstition
and make constant warfare upon the
forces that are attempting her regeneration.
McKinley may have made mis
takes during tho past four years, and
in the great history-making epoch of
that eventful period, what president
ould not? But can any sane man
desire a change to Bryanism, which
represents every element of revolu
tion that has threatened the stability
of the republic since its Inception ?
We have sound money, protection
and prosperity, and our flag is re
spected everywhere. What more
car, the American pesple expect or
desire?
