Mr. Bryan is disappointing in this. He believes that we can change the financial system of the world and overthrow the fixed rules of com- | merce without the consent of any other nation. Does he doubt that we can police a parcel of islands without the consent of any other nation? “W silver and so timid about national force and far-reaching power? And it is not so far-reaching, really. Mr. Bryan quotes Jefferson s us that he extended the American empire is continent. Yes, but he reached out toward the setting sun before the invention of ‘oco- motive or telegraph. The he annexed were | much farther away from him than are the Philippines | from McKinley. And yet he did not fear, as Mr. ! Bryan seems to fear, the irritation of foreign coun- tries. ie wrote to Napoleon that he (Napoleon) would do well to get out of America and not get too close to us, for we should consider it as distinctly unfriendly in any nation that attempted to lord it around near us. “Jefferson talked that way to the mighty French Emperor: America was a little nation of four mil- | lions and limited resources. “Need Mr. Bryan, or Mr. McKinley, or any Ameri- can, hesitate to assert our rights through fear of irri- tating foreigners to-day? We are eighty miliions, and so rich that long generations of public thieves cannot begin to steal money as fast as we can make | it “America has not gone hunting for weak lands or weak peoples to conquer. She has beaten Spain—as meritorious an act as killing a rattlesnake. She fought | the Spaniards to help the oppressed. Her intention s to - genuine reform to the islanders whom fate has thrown into her hands. It is all very well to talk about consent of the governed. That is in the Decla- ration of Independence. and we should be guided by #t. But we may also remember, incidentally, that we | fought our own brothers in the South for four years and murdered thousands of them to prove that the governed must be good and not weaken our nation by setting up governments of their own. It was held by the North that a nation that gets its freedom by fighting 2s 2 unit must stay a unit. The Filipinos got their freedom by our fighting, and they have no good reason for leaving us now, unless we are willing. and that is fact. “Does Mr. Bryan doubt that what men want is liberty?

If we turn them loose on their own hook we shall al- ways be responsible for them. We shall have to fight their quarrels and defend them against oppression. That will surely get us into trouble. With a weak flag floating over the islands, with factions quarreling for control and inviting foreign interference, will come attempts that we will have to resist. and inev- itable conflicts will follow. “But with the true flag over the Philippines, does it not seem to Mr. Bryan and to all other Americans that foreigners will be apt to keep their hands off? “Is it not generally admitted that foreigners will keep their hands off whatever bears our brand? “Mr. Bryan says that we might take a coaling sta- tion in Porto Rico and another in the Philippines. ‘Take’ does not sound well. And why ‘take’ any- Either we have a right to annex those islands for their own good and advancement of liberty, or we have no such nght.

It must sooner or later come all under republican rule, and we might as well hurry up the process whenever we get a chance. To spread out in the East and set up the spectacle of freedom and national growth under the nose of China and the petrified East is a step in the right direction. The Democratic party wants men who can realize that annexation and expansion are here; be stopped. The party wants men who can take a share in problems that arise, who can suggest, and when the time comes control. who sit by and protest!” Two Democratic State conventions in California have put Mr. Hearst into the party platform and he is the president of the National Association of Bryan Clubs. Just what does Bryan Democracy think of It does not want men | itself under the circumstances? ROBERTS AND THE BOERS. UITE naturally, under the circumstances, the reports from South Africa in these days are full of conflict and confusion. Dispatches irom Spitzkop, dated September 19, were to the effect that General Viljoen, who has succeeded Botha in supreme command, was moving northward with 3000 men and thirty guns, and had announced a determina- tion to continue the war indefinitely. Another dis- patch of the same date from Nelspruit stated that of the 3000 Boers who retreated from Komatipoort be- fore the British advance 700 entered Portuguese ter- ritory, others deserted in various directions, while the remainder crossed the Komati River and occupied the spurs of the Lombolo Mountains. Roberts, of course, is eager to get the scattered bands of the patriots rounded up and captured, and to that end has resorted to every resource at his com- mand, from hard pursuit to pleasant promises of leniency. In a recent proclamation announcing to the Boers the flight of Kruger Roberts said: “Kru- ger's action shows how hopeless, in his opinion, is the war, which has now been carried on for nearly a year, and his desertion of the Boer cause should make clear to his fellow burghers that it is useless to It is probably un- known to the inhabitants of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony that nearly 15,000 of their fellow sub- jects are now prisoners of war, not one of whom will be released until those now under arms against us surrender unconditionally. After pointing out that intelligent burghers can no longer have any hope of success by their own arms, nor assistance from any foreign power, Roberts went | on to declare that the war has degenerated into a guerrilla struggle. He closed by saying: “The means T am compelled to adopt are those which the customs of war prescribe as applicable in such cases. They are ruinous to the country. entail endless suffering to the burghers and their families, and the longer this guer- rilla warfare continues the more vigorously must they be enforced.” Tt is doubtless very exasperating to his Lordship | that after all that the Boers continue fighting and Vil- joen refuses to even iscuss a proposition to surren- der. The war may not have staggered humanity, but it has made the British portion of it very tired, and ight. The women of Santa Cruz insist that they have a right to vote at the coming election. The ladies will unfortunately find that they are dealing with one of | those rights which must go future consideration. into the reserved list for There appears to be rivalry even in the unenviable privilege of blackguardism. Kelly, Crimmins and Burns are quarreling to determine who shall have the distinction of leadership in criminal politics. John M. Chretien considers his prosecution on a criminal charge as a huge joke. He has also the sat- isfaction of being the only one who is able to look upon the grave matter in that light. While President Kruger is sojourning in Europe he might add something to his fame by striving to liber- ate the single gigantic figure of the South African war—General Cronje. The sort of men Bryan would appoint to the Su- preme Court if he had the power is a consideration that will make the American people very careful not to give him the power. If the powers insist upon the stupendous demands, which are inspired by their greed, China may prefer dismemberment to the shell of national life which will remain to her. The latest incident in the Craven case indicates that Superior Judge Carroil Cook might with propriety establish an ambulance service in connection with his court. William Jennings Bryan is preparing for his final tour of the campaign. He must be getting ready to go home.

DITOR San Francisco Call—I have been actively connected with the Silver Republican party since its organization and have done my share in trying to bulld up the or- ganization and make it powerful and re- spected and worthy of respect. When the party was nationalized, I hoped that it might become a power for good in the politics of the country. I still believe that such might have been possible had not new conditions, new responsibilities of | government and new issues been pressed for consideration and settlement. There lis now no hope—in fact, no pretense that the party can live beyond the present | campaign, and I do not believe it possible | to aid the cause of bimetallism by con- | tinuing the fight this fall. | On this great questicn the people of Coi- crado have not changed; but conditions !and issues have changed, and, in my judgment, the silver question is not to-day 2 live issue before the American people and never will become an issue of great peiitical importance until the necessities | of the country compel a correct monetary system. We are daily informed that the great bady of gold standard Democrats who re- fused to support Bryan in 1596 are to-day according him loyal support—and why? Certainly because they either believe that the financial question has been settled or side-tracked for the present. The reason that prompts them to return to their old party allegiance, in a measure, at least, persuades me that [ am correct in my con- clusions about this question. In ixg6 the Democratic_party declared the financial question to be one of controlling and para- mount political importance. In 18% the same party declares another issue to be of paramount importance, and every one knows that the open declaration in favor of free coinage was forced upon the con- vention after the representatives of a ma- rity of the delegates had voted against | such a declaration in committee, and the resolution could not have been adopted in the committee had it not been for the | votes of the territories of Hawaii, Indian | Territory, Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. none of which has any voice in the election of the President. In 1896 Senator Hill of New York de- rounced the majority of the Chicago con- | vention and the platform advocated by them in language every sentence of which was jovfully repeated during the cam:- paign by those who opposed the election of Mr. Bryan. He and those who acted with him sullenly refused to support the nominees of the Chicago convention. Ir 11900 the same Senator Hill was the hero of the Kansas City convention, and would have been its nominee for Vice President had_he not declined the nomination and | fmplored the convention and its leaders not to nominate him. 1 cannot understand how any man who witnessed the scenes at Kansas City can honestly say that the convention there was a silver convention, or that its dele- tes belfeved that silver was at all an flle in this campalgn. The despised Senator Teller’s right hand man fn Colorado politics for many years. He walked out of the St. Louis Re- publican convention arm-in-arm with that Senator after that sceme in which the delegates from Colorado withdrew from the convention and from the Republican party in obedience to the instructions from their State convention. In the campaign which followed Mr. Stevenson, ways an acknowledged political leader, was most active in all that seemed to further the interests of the free silver faction. Heisa leading lawyer in Denver and an orator of marked ability. His executive pow- ers have also put him first and foremost in every campaign in the State.
