lion. 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

" Or, if tho statute of limitation has

"Better a thousand times that our

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

which they have so generously be

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

Thk Shanghai Pa KIR.?The num

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

Hut this uwful muddle with China,
which was precipitated by our aggres

havo no end In sight. R'jv. 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

told by His prophets, yet tho sin of It
llos at tho doors of Christian nations.

not matter.
Those aro my convictions, and hence
I can't work up any enthusiasm nor

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. Unfortunate

died. Farmer Hard
sense says Farmer Thrlf^r
was a fool. But there arm
people as much
than old Thrifty as it Is more foolish t?
work your own body under starvation
conditions, than your horse's. But every
farmer hag plenty to eat. Yes, but ft
ian't what is eaten, it is what nourish
ment is obtained from food that decide*
the question of starvation. 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. That's just the way with the dis
ordered stomach. It doesn't get the
good out of the food that is eaten.

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.

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. As civil service commis

RICHMOND, Va., July 20.?(len. Thom
as L. 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. I am proud of
tho ugly Bears whieb I now carry, re
ceived on tho battlefield in attestation (
of my dovotlon and Bacrliice to tholr
cause, when Ibsuob wore tried by ball
and bayonet, and I lovo them both now
as dearly as I did when 1 marched,
hungered and fought under their flags.
"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. The
best blood of tho South tills his veins,
as hlB mother was ono of Georgia's
fairest daughters and of a family
wholly Southorn and distinguished -ro*
the service of tho State in peaoo and
in war.
" But my frlonds say that tho Demo
cratic party is essentially Southern and
ail Southorn mon should support It. Is
Mr. Bryan Southorn P Is Mr. Steven
son Southorn ? In Mr. Bryan a Demo
crat If so, what sort of a Domoorat f
i Janus-faced, ho U uccoptlng tho noml
1 nation of tho Democrats, but facing
and smiling one way at the Populists
and tho othor at tho Silvor Republi
cans.
" Mr. Bryan and his party of fusion
carry no nope for the South. Virginia's
voto 1b not requlrod to oloet MoKlnley
and Roosevelt, nor Is tho vote of the
South. Tho North will easily oleot
him, bat 1 honestly, sincerely and pa
triotically pray that tho scales may
sjon fail from tho eyes of my Southern
friends, that thoy may sou their high
duty and perform it, and tholr true
hope and realize It. Ono country, one
Hag and ono destiny."
-Thoro aro two kinds of unhappy
peoplo in tho world?those who are
sad becam e they are not known, and
thoso who aro mlsorablo booause they/
aro known too well.
