That this country has become a world-power is one of the pet phrases of the Republican organs and stumpers. From the way tbey play with it one , might imagine that we had become a world-power only since the administration of McKinley, and that it has made us a world-power. From the day the thirteen colonies victorious in the war for independence united and formed the United States of Amer ica we were recognized as a world power. When we again in 1812 thrashed the British, armies sent against ua and England acknowl edged herself "whipped we were recognized as a world-power. When the Monroe Doctrine was an nounced and the monarchies of the world were informed that inter ference with the affairs of the-Re-- publics on this continent would not be tolerated, it was a declaration that we were and must be regarded as a world-power, and the respect with which European nations have treated that declaration shows that they looked upon this, Republic as a world-power. Fighters invincible on sea and on land made us a power , that the world -recognized before Mc Kinley or his friend Hanna saw the light. We were a world-power that grew Btrongerj year after year, at- -tended to our own business, and let the business of other nations alone, and while they "wrangled, squabbled . and stood- suspicions - and afraid of each other, this country, unhamp ered by suspicions or fears, with gates open to the people of all na tions, grew into a mighty nation which no other nation wanted to tackle. ' Bntthe magic of her power and the recognition given to it by other nations was not in her army or in her navy, for in both of these, as far as strength and numbers went, she was outranked by several Eu ropean countries, but it was in her daring, indomitable, county-proud - people, full of self -confidence and equal to any emergency or respon sibility that might confront them. But the Republicans are playing the world-power dodge, for effect, the object being to give the Mc Kinley administration . credit for placing ns where we stand in the estimation of other nations, as if the grab of the Philippines - has made us what we have been from the beginning. The fact that, we are a world-power and have pounced upon the Philippines is put forward as an argument 'for holding on to the Philippines and f to McKinley in order to hold our' position as a world-power. On this line the Re publican organs publish a good deal of nonsense, of which the following from the Cleveland Leader is an illustration: 'When this nation, blazing with ' wrath over the oppression of a weak - people at its very door, took Spain by - tne throat, it stepped oui into me open with the other nations of the world and it cannot go back if it would. The entrance into a new era of wider life and action was bound to come sooner or later. If it had not been caused by the appeals of tortued Cuba, it would soon be brought about in some other manner. "New responsibities, and heavy ones they are have to be accepted. The country bears, whether it will or not, : anew relationship to the rest of the world. It has advanced to a higher ?'- lace. Despite the whimperings of a ewof the timid, the manhood of ' America is not afraid, but is exultant. It goes forward steadily, bravely, . ohmarlt-tr tn mftflt what difficulties there mar be ahead and to conquer them for liberty and for justice." Thia sounds "pretty well but it is 1 virtually an apology for the McKln ley administration in its policy of erab, and simmered down ; simply means we are in it, that we got into it without intention or without know- ine it, and as we are in and can't of get out without crawnstnng, we have to stay in. It is an apology but not a good one, for it is not truthful, and doesn't state the case as it is. If there be any -credit to be attached to "taking Spain by ttie throat," it doesn't belong to the McKinley administration, but to tne American people, who fdrced the adminisiration to throw down the gauntlet and espouse the cause of the struggling Cubans. After it was forced into the war the administra tion did the only thing it could do, showed energy and determination. Although our army and navy showed the dash and pluck characteristic of the American soldier we are not en titled to any particular credit or glory for defeating inflated, bom bastic, worm-eaten, worn out old Snain. which dreaming on her van ished prowess imagined she was still formidable.- We didn't add a particle to our leputation as a world power by whipping her, although we may have excited some admiration by the celerity and vim with which we did it. , , .... The "new and heavy responsibui- ties", referred to by the .Leader am notcome of necessity nor have to be accepted. We sought them and took them upon ourselves, or rather the administration hearkening to and following evil counsel did it, when suddenly changing 'its pro gramme it bought those islands and bought a war with the people who inhabited them, who until that unfortunate trade believed us their friends and were our friends. Whether the "new' responsibilities and the changed relations" be bravely accepted or not there is no "exulta tion" over what we haye done or are doing in the Philippines, and there neVer was any . exultation oter any thing that has been done there save over; the brilliant feat of Dewey when he steamed into Manila bay before dawn, took the Spanish Ad miral by surprise . and disabled his Bhips before his crews could open their eyes and find out what was the matter. Over any or all the battles won there since, although our soldiers have fought yalorously and that valor is recognized and appreci ated, there has not been one exult ant acclaim, for the fact is our peo ple as a whole are ashamed of it, 'and wish, as Teddy Roosevelt wished sometime ago, we were out of it. If the McKinley administration could have seen the future as they now see it, it would never have loaded itself and the country with that job. . MCKINLEY EXPANSION COMES HIGH. The new departure by the Mc Kinley administration, the grabbing of lands that belong to other: people, is costing the American people a good deal not only in precious lives but in dollars. What it costs in money is thus.briefly summed up by the Jack sonville, Fla., Times- Union and Citizen'. v " What is "our new policy" costing us? The question is answered in the following figures, which show what the per capita expenses of the general Government were during the admin istrations stated below: . Haves. 1878 81. $5.22 Arthur, 1882 85 4.73 Cleveland, 1886-89. ............. 4.53 Harrison, 1890 93 5.44 Cleveland, 1894-97. 5.10 McKinley, 1898 1901 . . . . : 7.14 "In 1897, the closing year of the ad ministration of Mr. Cleveland, the net exnenses of the Government were $365,774,159. In 1898, the first year of the administration of President Mc Kinley, the net expenses of the Gov ernment were $443,368,582; in 1899, $665,072,180: in 1900, $487,713,702. and are estimated at $605,000,000 for 1901. This represents an increase of about $60,000,000 a year for each of the four years of his administration; and, if the increase in four years more (should he be re elected) should be the same, then in 1905 oar Government expenses would be $845,000,000, against $365, 774,159 in the closing year of the ad ministration of Mr. Cleveland. This is a full dinner-pail, indeed 1" Seven dollars fourteen and a half cents per capita means about thirty five dollars 16 the average family, thirty-five dollars that the head of this family must pay towards the support of the general government, and this, too, when the expenses of 'living through the operation of the Trusts and other combines, are largely increased, for which there is no compensating increase in wages or the earnings of the people. , Is there any wonder that there is such unrest in the land and such univer sal protest, against the bloodsucking policies for which the McKinley ad ministration stands? - U.

They allege" that proof of this was found in the; documents o opportunely found by General Funston and other hustlers, but as these documents "were found" six months ago or more it is somewhat remarkable .that the dis covery that Bryan had anything to do with any of them wasn't made until the past couple of. weeks, and it is also remarkable that there is no mention made of what sort of com munications these were. But the Republican organs are playing this fake for politics with as much energy and industry as if they had the correspondence before them, and it was really of an in criminating character. They do it in a sneaking way, too, and while not boldly asserting that Bryan was in correspondence with the "insur gent" leaders, charge it by indirec tion, and accuse him by inuendo. Here is the . way the Chicago Inter Ocean Btabs in the back: "Mr. Bryan's friends are trying to laugh off the charge that he is in cor respondence wjth the rebels in Luzon. 'What of it!' they ask. 'Suppose Mr. Bryan has received letters from rebels. t& cannot prevent mem irom writing to him.' Very rue,- but Mr. Bryan can at least obey his country's laws by promptly forwarding to the proper authorities any information received from rebels. Has he done so f Has he obeyed the following law of the United States: " 'Every person owing allegiance to the United BUtes. and having knowledge of any treason against them, who conceals and does not dis close and make known the same to the president or some judge of the United States, is guilty of misprision of treason, and shall be imprisoned not more than seven years and fined not more than $1,000. Revised Stat utes, Sec. 5,333.' "Has Mr. Bryan obeyed this law with respect to the communications he is known to have received from rebels of Luzon?" What asinine stupidity, coming from a journal presumed to be edited by men of intelligence? Why the assumption that Bryan has received letters from "rebels?" Suppose he had, where does the law here quoted apply? Was the Government ignorant of the fact that there was "treason" in those islands when it has been fighting "rebels" for nearly two years? But, even so, how do they know that he has any letters containing informa tion of which the. Government was ignorant, and yet they assume that he had and try to put him in a false attitude by this manner of asking questions and dealing in inuendoes? This is a cowardly and infamous attack, the object of which, however, is so apparent that it will hurt the men Who re sort to it more than it will Bryan. It shows how they are scared when they resort to' such contemptible and unmanly methods of attack. If they had a particle of pxoof to sus tain their allegations it would have been heralded to the world under headlines that could be read across a street. He Fooled the Surgeon.

It has been announced (as was not unexpected) that within a few days the War Department will begin to withdraw the '-'volunteer" organiza tions from the Philippines. The volunteer regiments must by law be mustered out by the first of July next, so that it seems that they are somewhat in a hurry in beginning to withdraw them now. There are about 27,000 of them in the Philip pines, and while they may begin at once to withdraw them, they can take their time about.it provided thev get them ont by the first of July. The Republican organs are mak ing considerable' display over this withdrawal, as it is intended for po litical effect, and to create the im pression that there is no longer need for such a largo force in the Philip pines, but they do not make any note of the fact that orders have been issued to send a 4ot of recruits to the, Philippines to take the places of some of the volunteers (most of whom will probably be on the sick list) withdrawn. It may be noted that this an nouncement is made right on the eve of the election, and so made as to create the impression that the men are going to be brought home as rapidly as transportation can be furnished, . while there isn't the slightest intention of withdrawing any men'save such as may be inca pacitated for service. They are simply playing this thing for politi cal effect, to fool the people as they have been fooling them all along in this Philippine business. ' ' .

I ing'to Democrats. . WELL FOUNDED PREDICTION. Prom Exhaustive and Unbiased Reports from Doubtful States tne journal is - Constrained to Say Bryan Will -j Win Without New York. Monday's New York Journal pre sents a campreheasive review of the presidential situation over , the entire United States, and basing its predic tion upon carefully investigated con dition in doubtful States;' candid opinions of best informed men of both parties ; views of-independents and ex haustive reports of its correspondents in every State, who were charged that the paper "wanted the information for its readers and that it must be ab solutely accurate in order to have news value," it declares that Bryan will win without New York and will carry that State, too. - The Journal indulges in this very plausible reasoning: "Leaving New York out of the cal culation, Bryan is certain of 197 votes. With the 36 votes of New York, Bryan will have 233, or 9 more than enough to elect. "Leaving New York out, Bryan will need only 27 votes to triumph. Illi nois and Delaware will do it, or Illi nois and Washington. Any two of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio will win for him. ; ' "The States that are conceded to be doubtful have a total of 117 electoral votes. Out of this 117, Bryan is as sure of getting the needed 27 as he is sure that he is a candidate. Bryan's chances in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are better than McKinley's. There are a dozen combinations that mean defeat for McKinley, and William J. Bryan will ba the next President of these United States." In its summary the Journal gives: To McKinley Maine, 6; Vermont, 4; New Hampshire, 4; Massachusetts, 15; Rhode Island. 4; Connecticut, 6; Pennsylvania, 38; New Jersey, 1Q; Michigan, 14; Wisconsin, 12; Iowa, 13; Minnesota, 9; Oregon, 4.

The writer was in Raleigh Wednesday and the most exciting race he ever saw was the senatorial race. Persimmons were plentiful on coat lapels, and hand some and costly Can buttons were be ing freely distributed and worn by Re publicans as well as Democrats. Poli tics, indeed, makes strange bed-fellows. On Fayetteville street, near the Tucker buildinir, Wednesday morning, one John H. Parker, the independent mayor of Selma, and brother-in-law of Tom Massey, a Republican leader, -and the star witness in the prosecution of Democrats in Johnston "county, was distributing Carr buttons. Parker is president, I am told, of the only Carr club in Johnston county. I also learned that one Li. W. Mangum, formerly a preacher, now a Republican deputy marshal, to whom is entrusted 'the business' of serving process in the indictment of Democrats in Johnston, wears a Carr badge and is electioneering for him on Ms rounas of the county, saying "If all Demo crats were as good as Jule Carrhe never would have left the party." 'Squire Jos. A. Davis, of Deep River township, this county, was here this morning, and says that he does not know a single Democrat in his precinct who is against Simmons, but that the Republicans are openly working for Carr and wearing Carr buttons. 'Squire Davis says he knows his township; that he be gan voting there forty years ago, when there were only nine Democratic votes cast there. Now there about one hundred. I .minted seven nesrroes in Greens boro yesterday wearing Carr badges. An ardent Democratic supporter of Carr was told of this, and he retorted that it showed the negroes had a better sense . of duty than sOme white people. I saw a prominent citizen a day or two ago, a man who entered the race for alderman last spring against the Democratic ticket in this city, who said: "If it is left entirely to the Democrats Simmons will be elected; but if the Republicans vote, Carr will be elected." That man was also wearing a Carr button. A Republican who occupies a very high position in the State says: "I am praying for Carr, but betting "on Simmons." I give these as only a few of the many things seen and heard showing what kina oi campaign is Demg niauo. It - t Not a "Graff Authority." The statement ,of the Greensboro (yimnnii(lnt of ' the Charlotte Ob server that Hon. A. M. Waddell will support General Carr for the Senate is not true, although given on what the correspondent terms "good author ity." Colonel Waddell has said re peatedly and publicly since his with drawal that he . intended to vote for Mr. Simmons. . - Tit Apptlt of Goat Is envied br all poor dyspeptics. whose Stomach and Liver are out of order.

Wall Attended and Enthusiastic Assenu blate of State Chairman's friends Speeches by Prominent Men, An enthusiastic meeting of the Sim mons' Democratic Club was held last night in the Oourf House, there hav ing been a fair and representative-attendance from all the wards. ' " President Stevenson was in the chair and George H. iioweu ana William J. Bellamy, Esqs., acted as secretaries. . A number of matters were discussed, but the only action of interest to the public in eeneral was theppointment by the President, upon motion, of a finance committee, composed as fol lows: W. H. Bernard (chairman), Walker Taylor, P. H. Stedman, H. cL. Green, T. J. Presson, J. JN . Ben nett, George Harriss, M. O'Brien, S. H. Fishblate, G. J. Boney and B. F. King. After the disposal of the business before the club there were calls for Walter H. Neal, Esq., of Laurin burg, who. as chairman of the State Board of Elections, is here to attend a meeting of that body. Mr. Neal made a very conservative and plain speech to the audience, touching upon the services of Chairman Simmons to the party and State at large, his emi nent fitness-f or the position to which ha aspires and his experience with the Constitutional Amendment requisite to a proper defence of the same in case it is attacked upon the floor of the Sen ate. Mr. Neal was given warmest ap plause throughout his remarks. President Stevenson next called upon Capt. J. D. McNeill, of Fayette- vUle, and he responded in a speech characteristic of the worthy son of Cumberland that he is. He dwelt upon the fact that North Carolina owes to Chairman Simmons a debt of gratitude and predicted confidently that it would pay it with an overwhelming majority in November. He closed with a jocular remark as to the length of Mr. Neal's speech, .and sat down amid applause heartily joined in by the object of his stinging witticism. After the meeting of the club, the finance committee held a short session. at which private matters were dis cussed. Oar Greatest Spcclmllta . For twentv vears Dr. J.

To the Editor During the cam paign for Senator I have avoided all discussion of the merits of senatorial candidates, and have condemned per sonal attacks upon any and all of them. I believe in the primary, but at the same time think that the people should be permitted to declare their choice without interference on the part of partizans of either of the gen tlemen named for the high position. I saw a communication some days since in the News and Observer from mv friend R. T. Grav. Esq.: in which I am grouped, with many other Dem ocrats, as favorine Mr. Carr for Sen ator. . I intended to take no notice of the communication at the time, but I find that the letter is being republished in other papers, and being otherwise used in favor of Mr. Carr. My name does not belong in the list of Mr. Can's supporters, not that I have any serious objections to him for Senator, but be cause I think it better for the Demon cratic party and 'for the State for Mr. Simmons to be chosen and as the cam- ?aign progresses the more strongly am convinced that the position here taken is right.

' SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl street, New York STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS Met Here Yesterday and Entertained Reso lutions by Republican Member Relat ' lag to Senatorial Primary. At the meetine of the State Board of Elections heldfct The Orton yester day afternoon at 1 o'clock, by a vote of four to one, the following resolu tion proposed by Republican member A. B. Freeman, of Henderson, was roiected unon the ground that the bodv had no jurisdiction in the mat ter: . - "JoZthe Honorable State Board of Elections: .k "Whereas, Certain Democratic County Executive Committees in North Carolina have appointed the Democratic Registrar and Democratic Judge of Election to hold the senator ial primary election for Sinaior of the United States. . "And whereas, we believe this mode of proceeding on the part of certain Democratic County Executive Com mittee will be a me nance to a fre&bal lot and a fair count in said counties. 'And whereas, there is no law legal izing said primary election ; and where- as, we oeiieve mat noming oum elec tions at the same place and by the same election officers will invalidate the election so as to make contests more probable: "Therefore, in behalf of what is just, honest and equal rights to all political parties, we beg to entreat this board to instruct the County Board of Elec tions not to allow said elections to be held at the same place and by the same election officers. 'We would also ask the chairman of this board to notify said chairmen of said County Boards of Elections by wire of the action oi this board at tne expense of the State of North Caro lina." Mr. Freeman was the only member voting in the affirmative, Mr. John son, the Populist member, voting with the Democrats. The matter was argued at length and the position of the board, with the exception of Mr. Freeman, is set forth in the following resolution offered by Chairman Neal and adopted by all members present except Dir. Freeman: "The State Board of Elections hav- insr considered and debated theques tion involved in tne resolutions ot Mr. -Freeman, is of the opinion that it has no power or jurisdiction to act in the matter, ana lor tnat reason alone the board refuses to consider the same." It is learned from a member of the board that, individual! v. all those present favored the measure intro duced by Mr. Freeman, but could see no way in which they could entertain the same as a body. Present at the meeting were Chair man Walter H. Neal, Secretary James D. McNeill, Capt. W. G. Lamb, Messrs. C. H. Johnson and A. B. Free man. - Travelling Men For Bryan. Washington Post?
