SEYMOUR EATON AMERICAN POUTICALPART1ES f BT HON. JESSE MACT. XIX. "WTilff Mistakes. At the close of the -war "with Mexico the Whig party was In a favorable po sition for a series of national triumphs. Democratic leaders had Inaugurated a war which violated the better conscience of the Nation for the purpose of secur ing an Increased area for slavery. They had Indeed secured Texas as a slave state, but along -with Texas a vast terri tory had been acquired from which slav ery was legally excluded, and Into which it seemed Impossible that It should be Introduced. From nearly all other terri tory slavery had been excluded by the Missouri compromise. If In 1S50 the "Whig party had been faithful to the leader ship of the Whig President, and had refused to enter into any compromise which was fitted to help the Democrats out of their political dilemma, it would naturally have drawn to itself the anti slavery sentiment of the North and the "Union sentiment of the South. It would have continued to be a great National party with enduring and triumphant Is sues. But in an evil hour certain Whig leaders, notably Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, threw themselves In opposition to the Whig administration and brought forward a series of compromises which were fitted to remove from pro-slavery Democrats the odium which they had brought upon themselves. In the face of Whig opposition the Democrats had carried the country Into a war, with the intention, as was believed, of acquiring more slave territory. Along with the add ed slave territory they had gained free MUlard Fillmore. territory. Had the Whigs been wise they would not have raised the question of extending slavery into the free territory. The Whig compromise act legalized slav ery In the acquired territory in case the people should desire it when they ap plied for admission as states. The Whig compromise also provided for a fugitive slave law, 'which was so" drawn as to be an offense to the great body of the North ern people. By the compromise measure the Whigs lost the support of Northern anti-slavery citizens, while they gained no support from the South. Everywhere the people asked what the Whig party meant. Webster and the promoters of the com promise answered this question by say ing that the party stood for the Union apd the compromises. But the Demo crats could say with even greater fer vor that they also fitood for the Union and the compromises. The compromises served to unite the Democratic party. The freo-sollers, who had soparated from the Democrats in 184S. returned to the fold on the basis of the Whig -compromise. There was nothing distinctive for which the Whigs stood. In the platform of 1852 the Whigs naturally felt Impelled to approve of the compromises. The Democrats also approved of the compro mises, and with great expllcltness yarned the fugitive slave act as a measure to be sacredly observed and faithfully executed. Then the question remained unanswered, what did the Whig party stand for? It seemed to stand for precisely the same thing which the Dem ocratic party represented. A political party In the American system is expect ed td discover, criticise and oppose tho er roneous policy of another political party. It Is a primary duty of one party to hold the qpposlng party to the responsi bility of its own -acts. Tender the lead ership of a Southern slaveholder the Whiga-iad a great opportunity to secure a permanent settlement of the whole ques tion of the extension of slavery into new territory, and to accomplish this It was not necessary for them to do anything but simply toieave the territory as the Democrats left it. Undoubtedly some Whigs were afraid that the Union would be disrupted. President Taylor, who knew the South well, had no more fear on that subject than had President Jackson 18 years before. In. any event the way to save the Union was for the Whig party, as a great National organ, to hold its place. Of course the Whigs, who were responsible for the compro mise did not understand what they were doing; they did not know that they were destroying thejr party The Democrats, however, were not slow to understand the nature of the act. All that was necessary for the Democrats to do In order to gain an easy triumph over the Whigs was simply to hold the Whigs firmly to the responsibility of their own acts. The Whigs have enacted the compromise, now let them stand by it. Especially let them stand by the fugitive slave act! During the campaign the Democrats were united and hopeful, while the Whigs Genernl "Wlnfleld Scott. "wore divided and despondent. In the Na tional "Whiff convention there "was lack of unity as to the platform; a consider able minority voted against the clause expressing approval of the fugitive slave law. The platform, "however, was In this respect made acceptable to the Southern members. These gave almost their entire support to Millard Fillmore as the can didate tor the Presidency, while Winfield Scott received the votes of all "who were opposed to committing the TVhig party to the sanction of the fugitive slave,law. Daniel Webster was the favorite of 29 delegates, mostly from New England. In the final result the South got the plat form and the North got the candidate. Scott was a "Virginian by birth, and was nominated on account of his military ca reer. Several of the leading Whigs 4n the South openly repudiated the candi date on the ground of his alleged free soil tendencies. On the part of the Whigs it was a lifeless campaign, and in the outcome only four states, Vermont, Mas sachusetts, Kentucky and Tennessee, chose Whig electors. This proved to be the last important Whig campaign. The End of an Era. The passing of "the Whig party coincide cd -with the passing of great statesmen and former leaders. While the Whig convention was In session In Baltimore, in June. 1S52, Henry Clay was dying in Washington. No one had In. all respects so thoroughly personated and represent ed the party as he. Twice its standard bearer; always in the minds of the- peo ple, a candidate for the Presidency, he had a personal following such as few men have enjoyed. Daniel Webster also hoped, and Indeed expected, to be made the candidate of the party. He had been voted for for President, but he had never received the regular nomination of his party. Twice, it Is alleged, he might have had the nomination for tho Vice-Presidency, and in each case had he accept ed he would have become President through a vacancy In that office caused by death. Webster died In the midst of the campaign. It is one of the remark able coincidences of history that so large a number of statesmen, who as young men had begun to exercise a guidance In National politics In the early decades of the century should all at once leave the burden of statesmanship to a younger generation. Besides Clay and Webster there was John Qulncj Adams, who died at his post two years earlier. John C. Calhoun died a little later than Adams; Thomas H. Benton left the Senate, never to return; old hands gave place to new ones under new and greatly changed con ditions. Slavery Question as n. Hindrance. Had the War of Secession been fought under the leadership of President Taylor In 1850. It would have been brief, and probably. It would have been entirely bloodless, and It would have left the Union party permanently ascendant. South as well as North. Slavery would have been confined to Its present limits and removed from a dominant place In National politics, and the great Whig party, as the party expressing Union sen timent and National aspiration, would have disputed authority with the Demo crats, who stood for the principles of free trade, personal liberty and local au tonomy. The parties would have divid ed along the old lines of real or supposed conflict in industrial Interests. And if ever there was a time when a nation needed to have all Its political energies directed to the industrial Interests of the whole people It was the United States of America from 1850 to 1870. During this period the railway, as a great National institution, was created; during this peri od the telegraph and the daily paper be came an integral part of the National life. It was during this period that busi ness corporations, organized for the pur pose of private gain, got possession of the resources of the country. The founda tion was laid for our most serious indus trial problems during the period when the attention of the people was monopo lized with the question of the preserva tion of the Union. It would have been an easy matter to deal with tho railway problem and allied monopolistic enter prises before the Civil War. But after 20 years of neglect and after another 29 years occupied with the consideration of special problems which the war cre ated, satisfactory control seems almost hopeless. At the time of the passing of the Whigs the tariff question seemed to have reached a permanent settlement. The Democratic tariff of 1S4G was In force. It was a nloderately protective measure. Had politics gone on In Its natural course, the Whigs, as traditionally favorable to the policy of protection, would have re sisted further advances In the direction of free trade, while the Democrats would have contended for progressive advance ment In that direction. But it was a time when the shipping Interests of the country were assuming vast proportions. Tho improvement of rivers and harbors by the National Government could not longer be delayed, and the Whigs wero naturally in a position thus to exalt the Importance of the Union. Public im provements In the hands of the separate states had been proved Inadequate. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty had Just been signed, and there was a general expecta tion that there would be a Nicaragua canal In a few years. Both external and Internal commerce demanded the guiding hand of a vigorous National Government. When the party system failed the people were left without the means of controll ing their National affairs. They became victims to sectional strife, misunder standing "and hatred. Parties were form ed on sectional lines and the Nation was transformed Into warring sections. The Whig party might have recovered after the crushing defeat of 1852, but it did not. A bnownothlng party, organized first as a secret society, spread all over the country. North and South. The Whigs did, Indeed, bring out a ticket four years later, in 1SDG. and made Mil lard Fillmore their candidate. FIHmoro was likewise the candidate of the South ern Knownothlng party, and as represent ing the two parties combined he carried the single state, Maryland. There was again a feeble effort to revive the party In 1800, but it was of no avali. Iowa College. Fairoanks Couldn't Handle It. New Tork correspondent Chicago Times-Herald. There is a good deal of dissatisfaction here with the Republican National plat form. It is criticised as lame, flabbld. awkward, lacking the true ring. Mem bers of the Administration aro disappoint ed becauso their plans concerning the platform went wrong. After the important planks had been fully discussd by a number of Senators they were turned over to Postmaster General Smith, and by him put into good, sterling English. Then they -yrere ap proved by President McKinley and sent over to Philadelphia. Senator Fairbanks was chosen for chairman of the committee because he had been one of the Senators consulted in the preparation of the various planks, and It was supposed he "would be ablo to secure adoption of the draft -which tho President had adopted or something close ly approximating it. Now it appears that Senator Fairbanks was not able to con trol things, and It Is said Senator Hanna was so busy with the Vice-Presidency WATCH!

"MONETARY LEAGUE" TOMEET "Soft Money" Men to Spenk Hope to Sway Democratic Convention. KANSAS CITY, Mo7 July L The United States Monetary League is to hold a two days' meeting here, commencing at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. An invita tion had beep sent to Mr. Bryan to ad dress the league, but he replied that he could not do so, as It was not his in tention to visit Kansas City this week. It is understood that he said in his letter that he would hold to the 16 to 1 proposi tion. It Is given out officially that the league will take no action, the session to be devoted entirely to speech making. It Is probable, however, that the members of the league expect to have some In fluence, in the making up of the mone tary plank of the platform of the Na tional Democratic Convention. Among others who are on the programme for addresses tomorrow are: W. H. (Coin) Harvey, of Chicago; ex-Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas; J. TL Sovereign, of Arkansas; and Congressman Sulzer, of New York. Tuesday the speakers will be Thomas B. Barkworth, of Michigan; Hon. Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota; George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts: General J. B. Weaver, of Iowa; Hon. Alexander Del mar, of New York and Hon. Flavlus J. Van "Voorhis, of Indiana. The meeting will be called to order by Hon. Charles I, Thompson, of Denver, the president of the league, and will then be turned over to Judge John W. Henry, president of the Kansas City branch. It is possible that some one may offer a resolution expressing the views of the league for the guidance of the committee on resolutions of the Dem ocratic convention. ADVERTISED.

TO INVESTORS AND LUMBERMEN We have until the 30th lnsL to sell 5000 acres of sugar pine timber land on the McCIoud River, Siskiyou County, California, and two miles of standard gauge railroad extending from the Southern Pacific Railroad at Castle Crag two miles up Soda Creek to a mill site, pond and 500- foot water head. After the 30th Inst (if we fail to sell), the whole thing falls into the hands of the McCIoud River Lumber &. Railroad Company, the manager of which states he will clear with the mill, railroad, store, box factory, etc., '300,000 this year cut ting timber adjacent to the land we offer. As this land would run his mill three yearg or more, its valuers apparent. Tho two miles of railroad can be extended about three miles up Soda Creek, and will then command from 150,000.000 to 200,000,000 of the most accessible timber in California. Ifcan then be extended qver to the McCIoud River timber. The elevation being low from 2000 to 3500 feet only and the ground favorable for logging, it can be done for about J2 per thousand, while the sugar and yellow pine lumber averages 100 per cent better price than flr.

No other Russian women have such collections of Easter eggs as the young Czarina and the !Dowager Empress. It has, for many generations, been a court custom for tho reigning Czar to give his wife at Easter time an egg con taining some handsome gift usually a souvenir of some particular event, and the present Czar and his father, Alexan der in, have always observed the old custom. The two Empresses have, with considerable misgivings. It is said, allowed their Easter egg collection to go to Paris, and be placed on exhibition In the Russian section of the exposition, and the French dramatic temperament Is deeply stirred and moved by this testi mony to the intimate and cordial rela tions between the two nations. The first roceived by the present Czar ina was given to her in the year of her coronation. It Is a Urge golden egg, en ameled in rose color, and contains a tiny and perfect model of the state carriage. In which the young "bride rode to the Mos cow cathedral on her wedding day. Tho coach is of gold, cushioned in red enam el and hung with tiny silver curtains which .can be drawn on gold wires. The Imperial crown in beautiful diamonds ornaments the panels. The latest Easter egg added to the Czar ina's collection was presented this year and Incloses a splendid jeweled heart set In rare, many colored gems and'surround ed by 25 tiny miniatures, portraits of the members of the Russian royal family. Among the collection of the rowager Empress Is ono egg that commemorates a family storm and a royal problem. Nicholas II. the present Czar, when a boy, had, as all the world knows, a most Irrational and vehement love affair. So ciety was shocked, the heir apparent's fend parents were distressed and alto gether there was a' very Interesting ex- nibition or the tempest that Cupid can, upon occasion, stir up in a royal family. Nicholas was hurriedly sent around the world to complete his education, and, as usual, time and absence reduced the royal heart to its normal condition, but tho Empress grieved greatly over the sep aration from her son, and on Easter of that year the Czar gave her an egg, in side of which was a model of the ship In which her rebellious lad was sailing away from heart entanglement. A goldsmith of famous skill had spent ten months mak ing the ship, which was of solid gold, mounted on a beryl stone, and was com plete and accurate in every detail, down to the smallest cable.
