BRYAN @AND EXPANSION. Che THL'IL\IJ\.\' E have heretofore pointed out the inconsist- i \V ency of the Democratic platform on expan- sion. It declares that the constitution follows |the fiag. The treaty cf Paris put the flag in the Phil- ippines, therefore by parity of reasoning it put the constitution there. But the platiorm further declares that the Philippines must be alienated. Yet we set- AUGUST 2, 1900 JOHN D.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Gold Democrat and anti- expansionist, has keerfly reviewed Bryan's platiorm nd position. When the treaty of Paris was com- | pleted and ready for ratifying action by the two | Governments, Colonel Bryan was with his regiment, and about to be ordered to Cuba. He had urged the Spanish war, but suddenly turned to sweet dreams of peace. - He resigned his commission and appeared in | Washington and elsewhere as an advocate of the | treaty and its ratification. | As Mr. Morton says, he did not ask whether the Filipinos were being sold for $20,000,000 by their own | consent or not; he was for the treaty. When Senators Hoar, Hale, Wellington, Mason and other Republi- cans had the treaty beaten for the purpose of amend- ing the Philippine purchase out of it, Colonel Bryan | was dragging in enough Democratic Senators to ratify it against Republican opposition. He was in | fact a lobByist for the treaty, and is more responsible | for its ratification than any other man in the United | States.. He knew, as all the world did, that the day the vote was taken the Filipinos were in open revolt | against the authority of the United States. He knew that they did not consent to the treaty nor to any consequence following its ratification. Yet he secured | its ratification by Democratic votes. Therefore, if, in the language of his platiorm, “to impose upon any people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperialism for those of a republic,” he, by imposing the treaty upon the protesting Filipinos, was an imperialist.

Yet when it looked as if there were votes in a | change of front he about faced from his attitude in support of the treaty and began to denounce the buy- per head! ing of the Filipinos at §2 “We favor an immediate declaration of the nation’s purpose to give the Filipinos a stable form of government; second, independence, and third, protection from outside interference.” How is he to donate this stable form of govern- ment? How can a government conferred from the | outside be consistent with government by consent and independence? Suppose they don't want Colone! Bryan’s stable government, what will he do about it? How is he going to give it to them? By what au- thority will he pursue that plan in territory that, by his own theory, is under the flag and the constitution? Ii he find authority for it, does it not also cover the same course with South Carolina, or any other part of our domain? Having advocated the treaty, how will he dispose of the international responsibilities which it involves? To be plain, that treaty confirms the title to the church property in the islands, which the Filipinos desire to confiscate. Confirming the title was one of the conditions of the contract with Spain. When Mr. Bryan makes the islands independent, does he intend that they shall be so independent as to confiscate this property, the title to which was guaranteed in the treaty for which he lobbied? Mr. Bryan’s infirmity is that he | never learned to look before leaping. He was instra- mental in ratifying a treaty that he now denounces.

Mr. Morton concludes that there is nothing in Bryan's record or his platiorm to commend him to anti-imperialists, and acks: “Why, then, should those who oppose imperialism and militarism favor the clection of Bryan over McKinley?

It is one which no Republi- | Phil Crimmins, notorious by his activity in various disgraceful affairs, is accused of having assured pro- tection to local gamblers for a substantial financial consideration. It is timely to ask, perhaps, what agencies in our legislative or judicial government this | man ‘professes corruptly to control. S cratic National Committee, after a conference in New York with a number of the leading men of his party, announced in an interview that the Democrats of New York are not as harmonious s they -might be, but that they will unite in supporting the national ticket on the issue of anti-imperialism. He is quoted as saying: “Mr. Bryan believes and the Democratic platform says that imperialism is paramount, because the peo- ple are most interested in seeing the military and expansionist policy of the present administration crushed.” There are other people who believe that “imperial- ism” is the iseue. A good many of them live in Colo- rado, and it appears that some of those who do are in favor of ‘the thing. Consequently, Bryan’s friends {in that State are afraid he will lose a portion of the ! free-silver vote because silver is not the issue this time. To meet that danger a declaration has beea made that, imperialism or no imperialism, if Bryan be elected the free coinag® of silver at 16 to 1 will be forthcoming in these United States as sure as | shooting. As an illustration of the way the game is working, it is to be noted that Thomas M. Patterson, a Demo- crat of note in Colorado, is quoted by the Denver 1 Times as saying recently: “It is not true that the Senate is an impregnable stronghold of the money ring: it is not true that the allied silver forces cannot capture the House; it is not true that Mr. Bryan, as President, would be helpless unless he had Congress with him.

His babbling gold majority in the Senate would be reduced to two. The gold standard was forced upon the country by a gold standard President in the face of a Congress op- posed to it, and it can be forced off the country by a silver President, even though Congress be opposed to him.” There you have it. In New York the cry is that the money question is settled; that Bryan, even if elected, could not cverthrow the sound financial legislation of the Republican party; that the one issue is to crush the expansionist policy of the administra- tion. In Colorado the cry is everything for iree silver, and that if Bryan be elected he can establish the Populist money system, “even though Congress be opposed to him.” Were the American voters unable to read perhaps such tactics might be dangerous; but as it is, they will le.d only to the disr,put: of those who try t' m. The Colorado voters“will learn what is said about silver by Bryan's supporters in New York, and the New York voters will learn what his supporters in Colorado are sayinddof it. Out of that knowledge will come a confirmation of the popular distrust al- ready felt toward the windy man of Nebraska. The only plea for Bryan that ever won any sympathy among the people of the United States was that he is a sincere man; honest, though mistaken, in his con- victions, and entitled to the respect due to honesty. Now, when he is seen to be the artful dodger of poli- tics, juggling issues to suit his needs in different States, he will lose .even that respect. A man may ride two horses, but if they be going in different directions he cannot ride them very long. John C. Lynch, the truculent Collector of Internal | Revenue, who appoints a Dennery at the command of Burns and turns messenger boy and tout for William I. Herrin ought to be made to feel that officials may disgrace themselves, but not their office. Partisan- ship can become not orly offensive but insulting. —— POLITICS IN THE RAW. OHN C. LYNCH, Collector of Internal Revenue QJ for this district, is one of the kind of politicians who believe that the possession of Federal office and the favor of the Southiern Pacific Company entitle them to the privilege of “doing politics in the raw.” Mr. Lynch does not wait for anything to cook. He dishes out the menu red from the slaughter-house, and demands that it be chewed, swallpwed and digested in that condition. The Collector has been going about talking much of what “we have decided.” The “we” does not in- clude the Republican party, the Democtratic party, nor the Populist party. It does not even, like the Kaiser in Coghlan’s famous song, form a combination of “Meinself und Gott.” The “we” of Collector Lynch is merely Lynch, Herrin and Burns. The combination is curious: An Oregon Democrat, a Mexican “what is it” and a Collector on the hali- shell. These constitute the triangle out of which there is to come the political music that will beat the band. There is nothing small about Mr. Lynch’s menu. sHe and-his “we” intend to run politics, not for one district, or one party only, but for all parties and the whole State. He informs all whom it may concern that we intend to give the Republican nomi- | nation to this man and the Democratic nomination to that man. He advises his friends to “get in with vs.” He denies that Crimmins and Kelly have aay influence with “we,” but concedes that “we” intend to take care of them. Lynch is paid by the Government to attend to pub- lic business in this Internal Revenue District, but he prefers to do other things. It is pleasant to a man of his kind to go about declaring in advance of all conventions what we are going to do. Possibly Col- lector Lynch may have sense enough to know that kind of thing don’t pay in the long run, but having his official salary he is perhaps content with that and is In the meantime, it will be worth while for the public to give some heed to this chatter, senseless as it sounds. Lynch has declared that in the Second | Congressional District “we"” are going to nominate Woods of Stockton in place of Forbes, and “we talk of giving the Democratic nomination to Caminetti instead of Sproul.” To those two specimen state- ments may be added the férther one that Crimmins and Kelly are not factors of the “we,” but are working with the combination and are going to be “recog- nized.” About the most interesting feature of this raw talk is the revelation that while the Democrat Herrin is running Republican politics in this district, the Re- publican factors in the “we” are going to do Demo- cratic politics in the Secornd. For that information the people of the Second District will doubtless be thankful. There are some blatherskites whose talk is gives confirmation to the story that in this campaign the bosses of all parties are being used by the railroad | to control the election for railroad purposes. The Republican party will not be injured by such state- ments as those we have cited. On the contrary, ths report of such a combination will have the effect of rousing even indifferent Republicans to‘ sense of the danger of the situation, and as a consequence the con- ventions of the party will be controlled By good and loyal men, who will not take orders from “we.” To that extent Mr. Lynch’s display of raw is serving a good purpose, and we trust he will neither shut his mouth nor tie his feet. While the local Board of Efucation is throwing the School Department into a state of widespread | demoralization by wholesale consolidations, transfers and degradation of teachers from their positions it would be wise for the members of the board to re- member that a reign of brief authority is frequently ended by retribution. seXge The friends of Chief of Police Sullivan have no rea- son to protest that he is not the very essence of punc- tuality in paying the debts of his political master.

SUPERINTENDENT WILL GRADE THE -~ PUBLIC SCHOOLS Says He Will Send Schedule of His Own to the Principals. A | Claims Board of Education Has Usurped Prerogative Granted Him by Provisiors of the State Law. e S Superintendent of Schools Webster means to assert the prerogative vested in him by the Political Code in the matter of grading and classification of schools. That official stated yesterday that he would issuc an order to-day to the prin- cipals of schools annulling the classifica- tion schedule recently adcpted by the Board of Edugation calling for an enroll- ment of fifty-five pupils in the first and eighth grades. Mr. Webster presented a schedule at Tuesday's special meeting of the board directing that those classes shail consist of not less than thirty nor more than forty-five pupils. From the second 10 the seventh grades classes shall consist of an enrollment of not more than fifty nor less than forty pupils. ‘Webster presented the above as his or- der, but the board took no action, it be- ing received in silence. Nevertheless Superintendent Webster has fortified himseif with the State iaw and claims that the charter does not give the board power to grade or classify schools, so that the power is veste@ in him alone. The school manual says: “The Political Code places the grading_of schools in the hands of the County Su- perintendent. No one can intérfere with his legal discretion in the matter, and whether the schools be designated as pri- mary or grammar is left to his discre- tion.™ Webster says further that the excuse offered by Director Denman that consoli- dations are necessary owing to an appro- riation of $81000 less this vear than last s not borne out by the rac‘xi . “We have $1,160,000 to spend®’ says Web- ster. “The teachers' salaries will run about $80,000 per month and the cost of administration $2175 per month, which leaves a small balance. It were best to use this' balance than to overcrowd classes, which will only result in impaired efficiency.” Interesting developments are looked for ‘when the principals receive the circular containing the order of the Superintend- ent for an enrollment not to exceed forty- five pupils, and it is almost certain that the courts will be asked to decide the dis- puted point. Should the principals follow the orders of the Superintendent the Board of Edueation will go to law, and educators acquainted with the situation say it will the controversy with Superintendent Webster. at the board Is receding in a meas- ure from its policy of wholesale consoli- dation is evidenced from the notice which it sent out yesterday to principals to de- lay final clasgification and consolidation of classes until after the mee;? cipals to be held at the City Hal It is under- day afternoon at 1:45 o’clock. stood that a modification of its classifica- tion rule be promulgated at tha meeting.

It was then rep- resented that the transfer of the pupils wouid cause great inconvenience on ac- count of the distance from the homes of | the pupils to the Pacific Heights School, | and other arguments were used to induce the Directors to change their minds, but without avail. | The_four members of the board visited | the Grant and Pacific Heights schools vesterday and after an investigation agreed that there was ample room in the | Pacific Heights School to accommodate | the pupils_transferred from the Grant. | Chairman Mark said_that by closing up | one of the primary classes in the former | school there will be two available class- rooms.
