DESPATCH 0omLklc EAST i, tt O CGXN4SUST)-:) V K IS 6 AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES V rAHTIES DLHIXO Tim JACKSON rnnioD. BT JESSE MACT. LL. D. From the election of IS24 may bo dated the rise of what 1 often called "Jackson tan Democracy." which Is the personal rule of the most popular man. The old Republican or Democratic-Republican par ty Teas rent Into a number of factions, each gathered round the person of an as. plrant to the Presidency. Jackson had the largest following, and the- character istic tendency In democratic nations for the people to divide Into two fairly equal political bodies now began to assert It self. In the final choosing of a President It was natural for the -weaker factions to combine against the strongest. Clay, be ing out of the race, held the decision In his own hands, since his electoral votcn given to one or another of tho remaining candidates would determine the result. Crawford, feeble and palsied, reemed an Impossible choice. There was strong per sonal enmity between Jackson and Clay, while the Calhoun and Jackson forced were drawing together. It was apparent ly Inevitable that Clay's votes should bi given to Adams. The day following Adams election he announced his choice of Cluy (?, Andrew JnckHOti. for Secretary of State, and charges of a corrupt political "bargain" hao ever since clung to the names of thoso two hlgh Tnlnded, upright and patriotic men. There was never any trustworthy proof of the assumed fact, but tho cloud shadowed all Clay's after career and was one of the Influences contributing to the turbulence of Adams' term of office. Policy of John Qulney Adnm. Out of the personal rivalries of this pe riod political parties based to a consider able extent upon questions of government al policy are now seen to emerge. Presi dent Adams set forth definite and positive principles upon which ho propoed to shape his administrative career. Giving a lib eral construction to the terms of the Con stitution, he warmly favored internal Im provements by Federal aid. and advocated National education. Trouble In Georgia re specting the final settlement of treaties with the Creek Indians, which Involved disputes as to certain lands, led to the firm declaration by the Executive of his Intention to maintain Federal rights against the arrogant assertion of the power of the state to override United States authority. In the resulting Con gressional debate upon this matter Web ster's powerful voice was heard in sup port of the Administration, while South ern members freely raised the cry of Federal Infringement upon the Constitu tional rights of the states and Interfer ence with domestic concerns, coupled with threats of withdrawal from the Union. But tho opponents of the President In Congress withheld their support, and the weakness of the Administration was shown by Georgia's successful defiance. When tariff questions came to the front It appeared that North and South were divided upon the subject of protection also. Underlying the various differences as they rose may be seen the old Con stitutional quarrel between strict and broad interpretation of the Constitution, state sovereignty -and me supremacy of the National Government. The adminis tration of Adams was a clean, honorable, dignified one. He persistently refused to use the public patronage for his personal or party advantage. It was not a popu lar or a successful Administration. Adams was a minority President. Jackson was the people's choice. Scarcely had thj executive taken the official oath In 183 when Jackson was announced as a candl. data of 1S2S. Andrew Jnckann, The old Democratic-Republican party woke to new life under Jackson's leader ship. His brilliant military success had made him the popular Idol. He repre sented the eager, aspiring, indomitable cplrJt of the great new West, and the limitations of his training from poverty and frontier conditions only endeared him the more to the hearts of the peoplo, who understood the crude, uncultured but self reliant manhood which "makes circum stances" and disregards conditions. The new era in American politics inaugurated by Jackson's triumphant election In 1S2S lasted to the Civil War. More than any President who JreMded; him. he was elected by the pSbpleT The newer states had entered the Union with manhcod suf frage practlcnlly unrestricted and property qualifications in tho older states were be coming less stringent. Jackson was the choice of the new electorate; he stood for the dlTect power of the people. Dominion was passing from the hands of Congress to those of the Executive, who had be come the embodiment of the new ideal, "popular sovereignty." The overbearing assumption by tho Congressional caucus -of the right to dictate to the people for whom they might vote as candidate for the Presidency faded away as Jackson's star arose, and the convention system, ap. pealing directly to the voters and con forming to the rising popular Ideals In government, became established In Na tional politics. Party Evolution. The new system was part and parcel with the rise of a new order of political parties. It gave to their organization that completeness and effectiveness which In sured their perpetuity and created In American political life a force destined to work great results for weal ar.J for woe In the unquiet times of the darken-' lng future. "Here is a revolution," wrote John Qulncy Adams of this extension of party organization. And he foresaw, as did Calhoun also, tragedy and disaster from the violence of the popular passions to be engendered and fostered by the new methods. But this development of party machinery was not a revolution, it was a natural evolution. The seeds of the mighty growth were planted deep in the soil of English history and were warmed to life by the sunshine of New World Democracy. The politics of an Ideally free people must permeate its whole life, and a peo ple will necessarily make tor Itself or gans for expressing Its will after the manner rendered Inevitable by lta hlbtory and character. Party TVnmen. Out of the Democratic-Republican party during J. Q. Adams' term of office came forth two opposing parties, neither realy to yield the right to the time-honored name. The Adams and Clay forces as serted themselves to be the genuine Re publicans of the true Jeffersonfan type, and, being the administrative party, des ignated Jackren'e adherents as "the op position." But about 1830 the word "Na tional" egan to bo placed before the party name, and for several years "Na tional Republicans" was the accepted title of the followers of Clay. The Jacksnn party adhered to the hyphenated--name -. -'h'j aw (which Is to this day the official name of the present Democratic party), but It was soon shortened, and the party ha ever since been called the Democratic party. Within the ranks of tho National Repub licans gathered as years passed the var'oun elements opposed to Jacksonlan politics the antl-Maeons, who had failed In effect ive party organization In 1S32. the nulll fiers of South Carolina and the Georgia supporters of states' rights, disappointed and angered by the President's determined maintenance of the Federal supremacy, and thoso who held tho old federalist views. The amalgamation of these Incon gruous elements was facilitated In ISM by the adoption of the new name. Whig, for the conglomerate party, a name which was supposed to embody the Idea of re sistance to executive tyranny in the per son of Andrew Jackeon as it had stood for resistance to the crown in the days of the Revolution. From that time for nearly 20 years Whigs and Democrats fought tho political battles of the Union, and other effective parties there were none. The Spoils System Established. " Jackson readily adopted the "New Tork plan" of using the public patronage and his official power of removal for "reward ing his friends and punishing his ene mies." Van Ruren, of New York, was his confidential manager and the roost skilled political manipulator of hla time. They heartily agreed In appropriating as "victors" the "spoils" which they had won. In Jackson's first message, rota tion In office was declared "a leading principle in the Republican creed.". For the first time was witnessed at Washing ton that unseemly spectaclo with which we bac ever seen since been sadly famil iar. A greedy mob of office-seekers thronged tho White House for months after tho Inauguration, demanding of the President that "reward" to which their political service, past or pro-jpectlve, were believed to entitle them. Experienced offlccrvj of the Government were promptly removed that newspaper editors and others who had "worked" for Jackson might be gratified, and If remonstrances were made, the accomplished Secretary of State, with bland and polished manner, repl'ed: ''We give no reasons for our re movals." The spolk? syrtem was accepted as a party principle In the Democratic party, and with Its Insidious appeal to human greed it was destined to creep Into the management of the other parties alo. But efforts were not wanting to keep the party of Jackson's opponents pure from the defilement of such truckling to the baser parslors. Its great leader, Henry Clay, set forth the contrary principle In words which should be Indelibly graven upon the mind of every youthful citizen: Government Is a trust, and the officers of tho Government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people. Official incumbents are bound, therefore, to administer the trust, not for their own private or individual benefit, but so as to promote the prosperity of th people. "The TnrlH of Abominations." The last Congress of Adams term was composed In both houses of a strong ma jority of Jackson's friends, who spent their energies mainly In preparing for the advent of their hero. Such a Congress had never met before. Its last session was a ncurrllous partisan wrangle, action upon either s'de being taken with a v.'ow to its effect upon the approaching elec tion. A new tariff bill, well called "the tariff of abominations," pawed In the last hours of the session, was of suoh a char acter. It was protective solely, no ad ditional revenue being then needed, and Its purpose was to secure voteo for Jackson in tho states favoring protection. By a deep-laid scheme attributed to the wily Van Buren, the duties wero laid In such a way as to offend the New England sup porters of Adams, while pleasing the pro ducers of raw materials In the Middle and Western states. Jackson men from all quarters were to support .the bill, but on the final vote the Southern members were to turn around, and, voting with the New England men, defeat the measure, but the odium of the defeat was to be cut upon New England. To the surprie ol the plotters, the bill, with Its abeurd and obnoxious features almost unchanged, be came a law. The South was furious. For years It had seen Itself left far behind t the North In the growth of population and wealth. It saw New England becom ing rich and powerful under protected manufactures, the Central and Western states developing rapidly under protected raw materials. Its own prosperity ap peared to depend upon the untrammelcd exportation to Europe of its cotton, rice and tobacco, with the free Importation thence of the manufactured goods required. That slavery was the real clog to South ern progress Southern men were not yet able to 6ee. and a bitter feeling grew up against the National protective policy fa vored in the North. In tho Jackson party were men of at shades of opinion as to the tariff, while the Adams and Clay forces were practi cally united In support of a protective pol icy. It seems to have been the plan of the latter to make protection the leading ques tion In the campa'gn of 1CS. but the Jack son managers choe to divert public at tention from matters of National lmpor. to the personal charge ofva corrupt polit ical "deal" between Adams and Clay In the previous election. The tariff of IKS. pleasing nobody as a whole, was modified and some of the ob jectionable provisions removed by the leg- CULLISON&CO.

If the whole body of lion anecdote, from the days of Assvrlan kings till the last year of the nineteenth century, were col lated and brought together. It would not equal In tragedy or atrocity. In savagencss or In sheer Insolent contempt for man, armed or unarmed, white or black, the story of these two beasts. The scene of their exploits was only 13 miles from the coast. In tho valley of a cool and swift stream, the Tsavos River. Filled by th. melting of the snowo on Klllmanajaro, bordered with palms and fcrnB, and at a further distnnr h n (1nu nA iMH. 'ab-c Jungle of thorns. Its banks liecamo suaaeniy mo camping ground of thou sands of hard-working Indian railway men, who slept in camps scattered up and down the line for some eight miles. Into these camps the lions came, thrusting their gigantic heads under the flaps of the tents, or walking In at the doors of the huts. Their first victim was a Sikh Jemardar, taken from a tent shared by a dozen other workmen, the next a coolie. Then they raided the camps regu larly until the local length of rail was finished, and the bulk of the men moved up country out of the lions' beat. But some hundreds wero left behind to build bridges and do permanent work. It wns then thnt the lions' reign of terror be gan, which ended In the complete stop page of an Imperial enterprise supplied with every mechanism and appliance of civilization, from traction engines to armed troops. Perhaps the strongest evidence of the pressure to which these beasts subjected the dominant biped man Is that they forced him. to become arboreal. If the setting of blood and bones wero not so ghastly, the scene would provoke a smile. After hundreds had fled some SCO' still remained, forwhom the engineer, worn out by want of sleep himself, and by con stant tracking of tho lions by day and sitting up by moonlight, endeavored to find safe quarters Jjy night, when they might be seen "perched on the top of water tanks, roofs, and bridge girders.

It Is hard to read with much patience such a speech as that delivered, by Senator Hoar on Tuosday. In the name of patriot Ism, and religion. It comes very iieprly belnjc as treasonable, an appeal as was ever put out before the American people. He has brooded over the matter so Ions: he has nursed ancient superstition so long; he , has listened so,. Intently, to the praises that fomo traitors In Maisachu-.sc-tts have bestowed upon him, that Jie does not see clearly. It what he says Is true, then his own forefathers were "Im perialists" ot the most dangerous kind when they persecuted King Philip. Ail", f his countrymen all the time have been tyrants that they, one after the other. beat down the great Shawnee, the Semi- noles, the Pottawattamjes. tho Mohawks, the Tuscaroras. the Sioux, the Coman- ches, alt the barbarous but brave wretches who have stood In the path of civilization, j and one after the other went down before the Inevitable march of progress. He mis quotes history when he declares that what Is going on In the Philippines Is some thing new. It was begun when Florida nnd Louisiana were purchased. The peo ple thero were not consulted as to either the purchase or what should be done with tho territory. The situation In tho Philip pines Is precisely what It wns In Califor nia when the first gold was found In the sands of tho American River. His refer, ence to Aaron Burr was contemptible, because, while there were suspicions In regard to Burr, there was never any proof, and he Is dead. Those Intimate with him always declared In his lifetime and since that the utmost ho sought to dv wns to go out Into the territory ot Texas, and, gathering a few strong men around htm, do what Houston and the others did a few years later take that land which was peopled by an unworthy race and un worthily governed, and make a free coun try of It. He has not one kindly word for tho soldiers of tho Republic, who hava been fighting its battles, but he Is so or nate In his praises of Agulnaldo that when his speeches shall be read In the Philip pines, every American soldier there will bow his head In shame, thnt In the Senate of the United States there can rise up a brilliant Senator, and, while forgetful of them, can praise a man who planned the extermination of every whlto person In the City of Manila, and for no reason ex cept that ho and his brother cutthroats wero not permitted to loot the city. H Is lavish In praise of the. man who raised a rebellion In order to get some few petty reforms from tho Government of Spain, and then sold out to the country for $100,000, but who, when returned to that country by the strong and merciful arm of the United Slates, and when the power of Spain was broken, because he was not permitted to establish a worso despotism than that of Spain, ho- at once began his work of assassination: he who had al ways been a Slave, who had seen his peo ple taxed for all they had, mutilated when they could not pay. and sold into per petual slavery for debt: when he saw eiery one of those Indignities removed and knew that for every one of his coun trymen, high or low, the same freedom wns ready to be vouchsafed that Senator Hoar enjoys, he. through lust of power and plunder, began the war. and a greafcc Senator of the United States, from his, place In tho Senate, describes him as av hero and a patriot of the same class ns Kossuth, Oom Paul and Nathan Hale. The doctrine of tho consent of the gov erned did not. when It was written, apply to any ravo those capable of self-government. It did not npply to the Indians; It did not apply to the slaves; It did. not ap ply to the colored men In many of the states who were free, and that doctrlns was founded on the assumption that.men are not entitled to all the privileges- of the Government until they are capable of ad ministering thoso privileges In a civilized way. , , But It Is useless tofollow tho mattar The thought that ought to be kept Ift mind ' is that tho testimony -of such men?

Furthermore, an organized terri tory of the United States Is subject to Just such laws as Congres pleases to pass, not as a tyrannical parent power, but os the will of all the people of all the states in the Union.
