Wm. J, liryau, In accepting the Democratic nomination for president, a poke as follows : "Mr. Chairman and racmbcrb of the National Committeo : "I shall, at an early clay and In a moro formal mannor, accept the nomi nation which you tender, and 1 ?hall at that time discuss the various questions covered by the Democratic platform, it may not bo out of pluco however, to submit a few observations at this timo upon the general character of the con test before us, and upon the question which is declared to bo of paramount importance In this eompaign. "When 1 say that the contest of 1900 Is a contest betweon Democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other, 1 do not mean to say that all our oppo nonta have deliberately chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating inlluenco in the aiTairs of the govern ment, but I do aastrt that on tho im portant issues of tho day tho Republi can party is dominated by those influ ences which constantly tend to olevato pecuniary considerations and ignore human rlghtB. "In 1859 Lincoln said that tho Re publican party beliovcd In tho man and the dollar, but that in ease of conlllct it belioved in the man before the dol lar. This Is tho prop r relation which should exist between tho two. Man, tho handiwork of God, comes first ; motioy, the handiwork of man, is of lnforlor importance. Man is tho mas ter; money Is the servant, but upen all Important questions to-day, Republican legislation tends to make money the master and man the servant. . "Tho maxim of Jefferson, 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none,' and tho doctrine of Lincoln that this should be a governmont 'Of the pooplo, by tho people, and for tho peo ple,' are being disregarded and tho in strumentalities of government are be ing used to advance the interests of those who are in a position to securo favors from the government. "The Democratic party is not mak ing war upon the honest acquisition of wealth ; it has no desire to discourage Industry, economy and thrllt. On tho contrary, it gives to ovory citizen the greatest possible stimulus to honest toll, when It promises him protection In the enjoyment of tho proceeds of his labor. Proporty rights are most se cure when human rights aro respected. Democracy strives for a civilization in which every member of society will share according to bis merits. "No one has a ri^ht to expect from society more than a fair compensation for tho sorvlces which ho renders to society. If ho secures moro, it is at the expense of some one else. It Is no injustice to him to prevent his doing injustice to another. To him who would, either through class legislation or in tho absenco of necessary legis lation, trespass upon the rights of an other, the Democratic party says, 'Thou shalt not.' "Against us aro arrayed a compara tively small, but politically and linan oally poworful number, who really prollt by Republican policies ; but with them aro associated a large numbor who, because of their attachment to the party namo, aro giving their own doc trines antagonistic to the former teach ings of their own party. Republicans who used to advocate bimetallism, now try to convinco themselves that the gold standard is good ; Republicans who wore formerly attached to the greenback are now seeking an excuse for giving national banks control of tho nation's paper money; Republicans who used to boast that the Republican party was paying olT the national debts aro now looking for roasons to support a perpetual and Increasing clobt ; Re publicans who formorly abhored a trust, now boguile themsolvos with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts, while in their minds, the lino between tho two is becoming moro and more obscure; Republicans who in Unit',.- past congratulated the country upon the small exponso of our stand ing army, are now making light of tho objections which aro urgod against a large increase in the permanent mili tary establishment; Republicans who gloried in our lndepondonco when tho nation was loss powerful, now luok with favor upon a foreign alliance; Republicans who throe years ago con demned 'forceablo annexation' as Im moral and even criminal, aro now sure that it is both immoral and criminal to oppose forceablo annexation. That par tisanship has already blinded many to present danger is certain ; how largo a portion of tho Republican party can bo drawn over to tho now politics remains to bo Been. ''For a time llopubllcan loaders were inclined to dony to opponents tho right to orltioleo tho 1'hllippliio policy of the administration, but upon investiga tion tboy found that both Lincoln and Clay assorted and oxerclbCJ tho right to orltlclso a president during tho pro gress of tho Mexican war. "Instoad of mooting tho issuo boldly and submitting a clear and positive plan for dealing with tho 1'hlllpplne question tho Republican convention adopted a platform, tho larger part of which was devoted to boasting and self-congratulation. "In attempting to press oconomlc questions upon the country to the ex clusion of those which Involved the very structures of our government, the Republican leaders give new ovl dence of their abandonment of tho earlier Ideals of th? party and of their complete subserviency to pecuniary considerations. "But tbey shall not bo permitted to evade the stupendous and far reaching Issue which thoy have dellboratoly brought into the arena of politics. " When tho president, supportod by a practically unanimous vote of the House and Senate, entered upon a war with Spain for tho purpose of aiding the struggling patriots of Cuba, tho country, without regard to party, ap plauded. Although tho Democrats reo o .ni/.ed that the administration would [i oessarlly gain a political advantage from the conduct of a war whloh, In tho vory nature of tlio case must soon ond In a complete victory, they vied with tho Kjpubllcana In tho support which t'uiy gave to tho president, Wten tho war was over and tho Uepublicftn load ers beg An to suggest tlie propriety of a colonial policy opposition at once man ifested Itself. When tho president Ii ri al ly laid before the Senate a treaty woich rtcognized the Independence of Cuba, but provided for tho cession of t> o Philippine inlands to the United S?ales, the menace of Imperialism bo Ci.'iio co apparent that many preferred to reject tho treaty and risk the Ilia tl at might follow rather than take ttio chance of correcting the errors of the treaty by the independent action of this country. 1 was among tho number of those who believed It better to ratify tho treaty and end tho war, release the volunteers, remove the excuse for war expenditures, and then give the Filipi nos the independence which might Wo forced from Spain by a new treaty. "In view of the criticism which my action aroused in eorne quarters 1 take this occasion to restate tho reasons given ut that lime. I thought It safer to trust tho American people to give in pendonco to the Filipinos than to trust tho accomplishment of that purpose to diplomacy with an unfriendly nation. Lincoln embodied an argument in the question, when ho asked : 1 Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws ?' I bollevo that we are now In a better position to wago a suc cessful contest against Imperialism than we would have boon had tho treaty boon reiocted. " With tho treaty ratitied, a clean cut issue is prosonted botwoou a gov ernmunt by consent and a government by forco, and imperialists must bear tho responsibility for all that happens until the question Is settled. " If tho treaty had been rejected, the opponents of imperialism would havo boon held responsible for any in ternational complications which might have arisen beforo the ratification of another treaty. But whatever differ ences of opinion may havo existed as to the best method of opposing tho colonial policy, there never was any dilVurences as to tho great importance of tho question and thoro is DO differ once do* as to the course to bo pur sued. "Tho title of Spain being extinguish ed, wo wore at liberty to deal with tho Filipinos according to American prin ciples. Tho Bacon resolution, Intro duccd a month heforc hostilities oroko out at Manila, promised independence to the Filipinos on the same terms that it was promised to the Cubans. 1 sup ported this resolution and believe that its adoption prior to tho breaking out of hostilities would havo prevented bloodshed, and that its adoption at any subsequent time would have ouded hostiln u s. "If the treaty had been rejected considerable time would havo neces sarily elapsed before a new treaty could have been agreed upon and rati fied, and during that time the question would havo boon agitating the public mind. If the Bacon resolution had been adopted by tho Senate and carried out by the president either at the time of tlio ratification of the treaty or at any time afu rwardf, It would have taken Iho question of imperialism out of politics and left tho American people free to deal with their domestic problems Uut the resolution was defeated by tho veto of tho Kipubliean vico president, and from that time to thin a Republi can Congress has rofused to take any action whatever in tho matter. " When hostilities broke out at Ma nila, Republican speakers and Repub lican editors at once sought to lay tho blame upon those who had delayed the ratification el' the treaty, and, during the progress of tho war, the same Re publicans have accused the opponents of imperialism of giving encourage ment to tho I'Mlplnos. "Th's Is a cowardly e/aslon of re sponsibility. " If It is right for the United States to hold tho Philippine islands per manently and imitate European em pires In tho government of colonies, the Republican party ought to state Its position and defend it, but it must ex pect ti^e sunject races to protest against such >< policy and to resist to the extent of their ability. The Filipinos do not need any encouragement from Ameri cans now living. Our whole history has been an encouragement, not only to tho Filipinos but to all wbo aro do nioda voice in their own government. If the Republicans aro prepared to censure all who havo used language calculated to make tho Filipinos hate foreign domination, let them condemn tho spoech of Patrick Ilonry. " When ho uttored that passionate appeal, ' Give mo liberty or give mo death,' ho expressed a sentiment which Btill oehoes in the hearts of men. " Let them consuro .JetTorson ; of all the statesmon of history none havo used words so olTenslvo to those who would hold their fellowB In political bondage. " L st them cenBuro Washington, who declared that the colonists must choosr.d between liberty and slavery. " Or, if tho statute of limitation has run against tho sins of Henry and Jof forson and Washington, lot them con sure L'ncoln, whose Gettysburg speech will be quoted In defense of popular government when tho present advo cates of forco and conquest aro for gotten. a POSITIVR POLICY. "Better a thousand times that our Hag in the Orient givo way to a Bag ropresontlng tho Idea of soif-govorn mont than that tho Hag of this repub lic should bocomo the Hag of an em piro. "There. Is an easy, honest, honorablo solution of the Philippine question, it is set forth In tho Democratic plat form and It is submitted with contl donco to tho American people. This plan I unreservedly indorse. If oloct od, I shall convene Congress In extra ordinary uossion as soon as I am Inau gurated, aud recommend an immedl I ate declaration of tho nation's purposo, first, to establish a stable form of gov I eminent in the Philippine Islands, just as we aro now establishing a stable form of government In tho island of I Cuba ; socond, to givo lndcoondenco to tho Filipino?, just in wo promlsod to givo Independence to tho Cubans; third, to protect tho Filipinos from outsldo interference while they work out tholr destiny, just as wo have pro tected tho ropublics of Central and South Amorlca, and aro, by tho Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect Cuba. "An Kuropoan protectorate ofton re sults In tho oxploitation of tho ward by tho guardian. An American pro tectorate gives to the nation protected tho advantage of our strongth without making It tho victim of our groed. For throo quarters of a century tho Monroe, doctrine has boon a shtold to neighboring republics, and yot it has Imposed &o peounlary burdon upon us. After tho Filipinos had aldod us In tho war against Spain, we could cot honor ably turn them over to their former mautcr?; we could uot leave them to be tho victims of the ambitious designs of the European nations, and since wo do not desire to make them a part of us, or to hold them as subjects, wo pro pose that tho only alternative Is, name ly, to give them independence and guard them against molestation from without. "When our oppouonts aro unable to defend their position by argument they fall back upon tho assertion that it is dcetlny, and insist that wo must sub mit to It, no matter bow muoh It vio lates moral precepts and our princi ples of government. This Is a com placent philosophy. It obliterates the distinction between right and wrong and makes indlvldua s and nations the helpless victims of circumstances. "Dostiny is the subterfuge of the In vertebrate, who. lacking tho courage to oppuso error seeks some plausible excuse for supporting It. Washington said that the Destiny of the Republi can form of government was deeply, if not finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to tho Amoriean peoplo. IJow ditTerent Washington's definition of destiny from the Republican defi nition ! The Republicans say that this nation Is In- the bands of dost'ny ; Washington bellved that not only tho destlry of our own nation, but tho dos tiny of the Republican form of gov ernment throughout tho world was en trusted to American hands. Wash ington was right. The destiny of this republic is In tho hands of Its own peo plo ; upon tho success of tho experi ment horo rests tho hope of humanity. NTo exterior forco can disturb this ro public, and no foreign inlluenco should bo permitted to change Its course. What tho future has In store for this nation no ono ha* authority to declare, but each individual hus his own idea of tho nation's mission and he owes it to his country as well as to himself to contribute as best ho may to the fulfill mi lit uf that mi:-: inn. "Mr. Chairman and Gentleman of the Committee : I can never fully dis charge the debt of gratitude which I owe to my countrymen for tho honors which they have so generously be stowed upon me; but, sirs, whether It be my lot to occupy the high olhoo for which tho convention has named me, or to spend the remainder of my days in privato life, It shall be my constant ambition and my controlling purposo to aid in realizing tho high ideals of those whoso wisdom and courago and sacrifices brought this republic into existence. "I can conceive of a national destiny surpassing tho glories of tho present and tho past?a destiny which moots the responsibilities of to day and meas ures up to the possibilitl'j? of tho fu ture. "Behold a republic resting securely upon tho foundation stones quarried by revolutionary patriots .from tho moun tain of otornal truth?a republic ap plying in practice and proclaiming to the world the solf evident proposition that all men are created tqual ; that they are endowed with inalienable rights ; that governments are institu ted among men to secure these rights ; that governments derive tholr just powers from the consent of tho gov erned. Hohold a republic In which civil and religious? liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor and In which the law restrains ovcry hand uplifted for a neighbor's injury?a republic in which every citizen Is a sovereign, but In which no one cares to wear a crown. "Behold a republic standing erect while empires ull around are bowed beneath the weight of their own ar maments?a republic whose Hag Is loved while other fl*gs are only fear ed. ' rJohold a republic increasing In pop* ulatlon, wealth, In strength and in In lluonce, tolving the p oblems of civili zation and hastening the coming of an universal brothe. nood?a republic which shukes thrones und dissolves aristocracies by its silent example and gives light and inspiration to thoso who sit in darkness. "Behold a republic gradually but surely becoming tho supremo moral factor iu the world's progress and tho accepted arblterof tho world't disputes ?a republic whoso history, llko tho path of tho just, 'is as tho shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Thk Shanghai Pa KIR.?The num ber und quality uf tho falsehoods which have been scut out recently from (Jhineso news conters, especially from I'ekin, indicates tho presonco and oporation in that city of one or moro of tho greatest fakirs that over slung a pon, says tho Atlanta Journal. One of the many lies that havo como to us from this source was tho dramatic story that Admiral Soyrnour killed his wounded whon ho was compolled to retreat noar Tion Tsin. Tho talo wont that the admiral gavo tho wounded men in his command their chance to be left to tho Chinese who would tor ture and finally murder them, or to be shot by their own comrades and "die an honorablo Jeath under thoir coun try's Hag." There was absolutely no foundation for this roport: it was a pure fabrica tion. Admiral Seymour's report shows that, so far from being shot by their comrades, tho woundod were guarded and defended with cxomplary bravery. Thoy wore placed in boats and towed down tho river by details of soldiers and marinos, while tho main body of tho troops fought oh* tho Chinouo with rltlos and Maxims. Tho report shows that though tho column was hardly pressed by tho "Uoxora," thoro was at no time the slightest idoa of leaving tho wounded behind or "putting thorn out of tho way." Tho exposure of this fraud will prob ably havo no etToct upon tho Shanghai fakir.

Dr. Haldor man, of Now York, who Is said to bo a very learned man, says that he demon strated a year ago from scrlptual pro phecy that the present year v.ould find all the nations at war, and there would bo a mighty struggle between Russia and China, and that Russia would even tually gain the supremacy; but that for a time the hordes from China will break in an awful avalanche upon tho western nations and tho greod, tho rapacity, tho Chrlstloss, Godless Bul lishness of tiuropuan nations will get ltd reward, and there will bu a torrlblo balance shoot against those Christian nations who have poisoned China with opium and made them look upon all Christians as rapacious foreign devils. He sp.ys that tho Chinese aro light ing for their homos and institutions, and know that tho Christian nations aro seeking to rob them, and that their missionaries aro backed by guns and swords and Godless soldiors ready to kill and slay. This Infuriates them, and they look upon any white man as a dovll who should bo slain. Ho aays that whilotkis impending and destruc tive war is ordained of God and fore told by His prophets, yet tho sin of It llos at tho doors of Christian nations.

"Trade will follow tho Hag " Is tho shlboloth of commorco, and if tho Hag has to be stained with blood it does not matter.

I3ii.l ARP. Oll IN KSK NAMES FOIt NATIONS. How thoy Wero Ohoson?Their Com plImcntRry Form. New York Evening Post. Washington, July 20.?in view of tho preBont relations existing botwoon China and tho civili/.ed powors, it la of intoroat to know what namoa havo boon usod In China to doeignato theso na tions. Kngland Is known as Ylng Kwo, moaning "tho nourishing country ;" Franco is Fa Kwo, moaning "tho law abiding country ; Germany as To Kwo, meaning "tho virtuous country :" Italy as I Kwo, meaning "tho country of justice," and tho United StateB as Mel 1 Kwo, meaning "tho beautiful coun try." It ia a peculiarity of Chl.io?o names for foreign persons and places that the syllables In tho Chinese language aro chosen which most nearly approach in sound tho syllables In tho foreign naruo. For example, tho city of Fort land, Oregon, where there Is a largo and nourishing Chlnose colony, is known to tho Chinese as l'oon L,uon, becauso thoro aro no Chlneso syllables exactly equivalent to "port" and "land/' When the variom-j Western nations entered into treaty relations with China it became ncoessary, in tho Chl neso versions ot the treaties, to use signatures which would havo some significance in tho Chinese language. "Kwo," moaning "country," was by general consent mado tho latter half of cacti name, and tho beginning of each namo was approximated as nearly as possible to the sound of that name in tho language of tho country to whloh It applied, keeping always In vlow tho soleotlon of a syllable?if thoro wore any cholco?which would not bo dis honorable or othorwiso inoxpodiont. Thus "Ing" came as near tho first syl lable of the namo "England" as any which could be soloctod ? "''""a " In tho same way, suggested the u<... .otters In ''Franco." Italy's namo speaks for itself. Germany's is undoubtedly an attemp to approacli the opening letters of "Deutschland." In tho case of tho United States tho approximation is un doubtedly to the second and third syl lables of "Araorlca." Tho syllablo, in each caso, with which tho namo of a nation opened was chosen by tho na tion, itself, with China's consent, and tho representatives who made tho choice probably had In mind tho moral effect to bo producod, as superstitious Chinese aro peculiarly jusceptiblo to tho Intluonce of names in business and dlp'omacy. Japan's caso stands In somo contrast with tho others. Tho Chinese have always had a liking for raonosyllablos for the namos of foroign countries, and so different was the spirit of Japan when China tlrst know her from what It has becomo In tho last few yoars that in all Chinese historical documents the namo of her Island neighbor appears as "Wa" or "Wo," moaning "submis sive, " or "winding and twisting." Although this name has not boon so agreeable to Japan of lato yoars, she has mado no formal protest against it, though her gonoral proforonco is for tho namo "Jl Pen," moaning "tho ris ing sun." If she is to bo reducod to a monosyllable with the "Kwo" termina tion, she would rather bo known as "Jl Kwo," or "tho land of tho sun.'1 Farmer Thrifty got the idea that If h? could keep a horse without the coat of feeding, it would be a great economy, so he reduced the horse's food a Htue every day.

It wouldn't do the farmer any good to run a stack oj wheat through a thrashing machin? which was so out of gear that it didn't get the grain out of one head of wheat in fifty.

Olm I'akn BXPOSITION L?TTER PARIS, Franco, July SA, li'u?. The giant uulverslty of tho Wust that has boon so sploudldly oudowed by Mr. Kockfollor has a most Interesting ex hibit at 1'aris, showing features of uni versity work and experimental scienti fic apparatus. Many of the Instruments shown were Invoutod by Prof. Michel son, and mado in tho University labra tory. Among those Is an apparatus for analyzing sound ; a ruling engine for drawing linos of groat fineness on metal; a machine for measuring lengths and angles to tho accuracy of a wave length of light, aud sevoral others of Interest to scientists aud specialists. University oxtenslon is picturesquely expressed by maps showing its great spread and progress. A glance at these maps wilt show that tho work has been extended from western Pennsylvania to the Ha waiian islands. Foreign savantj aud educators aro no little impressed with tho Immensity and growth of the Chi cago University. Tho British and American exhibitors at Paris aro holding reuuions twice u month In Paris, and aro getting belter acquainted with each othor at tho fes tal hoard. Their last dinner aud smok ing conoort as it Is called, was hold at tho restaurant dos Palais Avenuo do SutTon. These rounions of a people who speak the same language, auu tho language which is rapidly bocoming the universal language will no doubt have au ctToct to strengthen friendship botweon the many Industrial represen tatives of tho two nations assembled in Paris. By showing my card as the rep resentative of your paper, 1 socured ad mission last week to tho Fngllsh pavil ion, notwithstanding tho fact that It was closod that day. Tho management is in tho habit of closing it every rainy day to prevent tracking it with mud and wotting it with tho drippings from umbrellas. This building is one of tho most Interesting of tho pavilions in tho Huo des Nations. It Is a reproduction of Kingston House, Bradford on Avon, and a lino oxample of tho old English residence, it Includes privato apart ments for the use of the Prince of Wales, if ho shall visit tho exposi tion. Hundreds of barrels of choice Amer ican apples are a part of tho agricul tural exhibit of tho United States in Paris. Thoy aro kept in cold storage. Small lots are exhibited from day to day In order to keep a fresh supply in tho glass reooetaelos. French, Ger man, Swiss am" Italian fruit growers aro very much astonished at this dis play. Tho cold storage Is especially puzzling to them. Chicago must be credited with tho daring and enterprise of sotting up an American barber shop with Amoricau barber chairs in tho heart <,f Pan Tho shop is not far short of an Ameri can exhibit, although it is not within tho grounds. Frenchmen and foreign ers stand without and look on with curious surprise. Tho Amorlcan bar ber chair Is much moro elaborate and luxurious than tho little stilT-backod chair in which Frenchmen aro accus turned to be shaved. Another exhibit scarcely loss Inter esting Is an American boot-black, with an Improved chair and paraphernalia for producing a shlno. His uso of two brus'ies aud a ribbon of cotton produc ing a brilliant polish astonishes the natives. Lie is doing a thriving busi ness, aud is porhaps the only artist in Paris capable of giving boots tho bril liant finish they got In America. The members of the jury on wines had a mos*, sumptuous banquet last week at tho hotol Marguery. it was given by Prince Galltzlno, tho foreman oi the jury. TJj" Parisian pauors call It a LuOUllUS feast. Twenty-two ditfer ont kinds of wines wore served. Tho oldest was a sherry of 1754, and tho youngest a Johannesborg of 18(5.1. Tho 11 rat wine served wub an Oporto, of 1815. it would seem remarkable that this jury was able to render a verdict on the comparative merits of tho wines altor this (east. The Kussiau Ambas sador, Prluco OurousselT, presided und tho guests included prominent repre sentatives in olllclal life. Tho two twenty-two times happy Americans present were Mr. Lee ?T. Vance, of New York, and Dr. H. W. Wiley, of Wash ington. Tho dinner lasted from seven p. m. until midnight. A number of Amorlcan wines have been excluded from competition on account of incor rect names and labols In imitation of French trado merits. Thoro Is h rumor that tho Czar and Czarina of Russia will visit tho Paris Exposition early in Soptombor and oc cupy a house that hac boon purchased for them on tho Champs Klysoe. A Pittsburg tlrm has an interesting exhibit in tho Bols do Vlnoennes. They are sinking an artesian well with tho Improved apparatus well known in America, but now in Prance. When tho woll is completed, It will remain, of course, and bo prosentod to tho Pronch capital, a monument of Amori- , can skill ami invention, as lasting as those recently erected of LuPayotto and Washington. In order to strike a sulllcient volume of water, it will be necessary to go down 2,000 feet and it is expected that a fountain, throwing a jot of water from M) to 76 feet in the air will rosult. Tho city of Paris will ornamem tho fountain with bron/.j figures and Uartholdl, who is inimitable in this lino of work, will probably bo tho artist employed. There Is no doubt that tho el ection of the monument- of Washington and LaPayotto, this arto sian woll and fountain, to say nothing of tho rocont Fourth of July festlvitlos, participated in by thousands of French men and Amorlcans In Paris, have had much to do in oatablishlng and confirm ing tho ontonto eordialo botwoon the two republics. Tho French aro a sen timental and impressionable people, and while sentlmont may be transient, there must, nevortheloss, bo a rosl dlum, which may havo its potency In oemonting fractures caused by tho in ovltablo jualouslos of nations in their competition for trade and territorial advantages. ??? ? ? ^?>?? ?In tho opinion of Ulohard Harding Davis tho ond of tho war in South Af rica Is still a long way oil and tho do torminod rornnant of tho Doer army, strongly intronchod, is ablo to lighten indefinitely.

Should tho Republican Presiden'dnl ticket be elected, bringing Mr. Roose vek within one life of tho Chief Magis tracy, the interests of the nation will, in an unusual degree, bo centered in the preservation of that lifo. For, although many men mtolleotuaUy inferior to Mr. Roosevelt havo been elected to tho Vice Presidential olllce, wo can recall none in that position whoso promotion to the only higher place In our system of government would have given so much cause for gravo apprehension. These are not quiet times, nor are ex isting conditions normal. New con ditions havo brought new responsibili ties and evolved now and serious prob lems with which tho prosout am' suc ceeding administrations must concern themselvos. Tho Post knows no way of j tdglug of the future but by the past ' no bettor way of determining what a man would do In a certain station than to consider what he has, in tho past advised the Incumbent in that position tu do Let us apply this rule to Mr. Kooaevolt. There is nothing In tho record of Presidont McKinley more distinctly creditable to him thau his firm, stout und finally succossful resistanco of the proposition to put hit) our declaration of war against Spain a recognition of tho bogus Cuban republic. But for that resistanco of tromendous prossuro we should have gone Into Cuba to play second tiddle to Cuban generals to rein force that preposterous Cuban army. It would have been a fearful and might have been a fatal blunder. A.H the Senators ami Representatives who op posed tho President in that crisis real ized their mistake, knew that he was right and they wore wrong, as soon as our entrance into Cuba provol tho al leged republic to bo a sham and tho army not much bettor. Hut had The odore Roosevelt been President, that recognition would havo been aeeorded, that gigantic blunder perpetrated. As an honest man he would have done what ho advised tho President to do. It Is a well-known fact that the persis tent urging of Assistaiu Bocrotary Roosevelt was part of tho pressu'-o which tho President realstoil. Liad Uoosevolt been President, the same prOCOSB of reasoning that led him to favor recognition of an imagin ary republic and co-operation with a paper army in Cuba would have prompt ed him to recognize " Prosldont " Aguinaldo and his alleged republic in the Philippines. And what would have beon the outcome of thut folly ? What but dicgraco could have come out of it ? Uad Koosovelt beon President in the summer of 1808 our fleet would have beon sent across the Atlantic in Hoaroh of Cervora's ships. That is what ho urged upon the President with ull the earnestness thai charactorlzos his strenuous nature. It would have been a display of stupendous folly, unsur passed in history. There are other facts In tho caroor of this popular candidate for tho Vico Presidency which, In case of his elec tion, v. hi make thoughtful mon doslre, with moro than customary forvor, that no vacancy may occur in tho Presiden tial ofllco.

Resser, of Charlottosvllio, Va.. who was a major general In tho Con federate army aud brigadier general in the war with Spain, and who has withdrawn from tho Democratic party after being afliliatod with It for many years, gives the following reasons for his action : " in tho Urst placo, I will Btate that politics is not my moans of livelihood. 1 have novor asked for nor held a poli tical commission, and am under no ob ligations to any political party. I have experienced no chango of heart toward Virginia or tho South.

"No ono can deny that tho North has prospored undor Republicanism, nor is there any denying tho fact that tho South has not prospered undor Dora ocracy. Naturo has blossod tho South with a soli and cl'mato suporlor to that of tho North. Then, shall we bo ox pet led to admit that under like condi tions, tho South is not equal to the North in a fair Hold of business com petition ? My experience, which has l)3en extonslvo, will not allow mo to admit it, but ontho contrary I deny It. 1 have taken a great many Southorn young men to tho Northwest, where conditions were less favorable to him than to tho man born in the higher latitudes, and these Southorn lads have risen to tho highest rank In every Held of businoss thoy have ontered? many of thorn are now leaders. " 1 regard tho Republican party as the only nV.ionul party now In the iiold. It is onterprlslng, aggressive and patriotic ; it has on hand and un finished a great work in clearing off tho debris left In the Uolds by Spain after tho war was over, which both Democrats and Republicans put us Into. Tho work is being dono satisfactorily, and thoro should Do no ohango in the Chief Executive as long as this Impor tant work is going on. " President McKinley, is a wise, ex perienced and patriotic Christian statesman, and tho only complaint urged by his opponents is ' that hla place is wanted by another man.' Qov ornor Kuosovolt is the highest type of American manhood. Ho Is able, culti vated and well prepared for the duties which will bo asslgnod him as Vice President of tho Unltod States.
