Editor Dumocrnt.
The meanest and most con
temptihle thing lately is the
attempt of the war howlers
of the administration to styg
matize as traitors all those
who do not join in with them
in their mad and unholy dem
onstrations andjor the mur
dering of the belpless and in
offensive people of the Philip
pine Islands. .. -
Some of these blood-thirsty
vampires will lean back
upon their "dewelnws" and
roll their eyes to heaven in
holy horror at the want of
patriotistain lliose who op
pose their hellish work, - And
if a beastly negro in the South
is summarilv dealt with for
a crime too norrible to men
tion, these jatne God and
mortality men .will make the
land to ring with their lamen
tatious, and yet all those
who oppose the murder of
the poor Filipino women and
children, the burning and
looting of their homes, the
outraging their women and
the devastation of theircoun
try, are held up by those pa
triotic (?) ones as being trai
tors to their country and as
being wanting in loyalty to
our flag and soldieis.
"Teddy" Roosevelt in his
opening speech of the Ohio
campaign referred to all those
who oppose this war as "try
ing to trail our Jflng in t h e
dust." Oh, ye gods! How is
it possible for our flag to be
disgraced now? If taking our
flag that has always been
looked upon as representing
a people who believe in Gov.
by consent; who believe that
"all just governments derive
their power, from the consent
of the governed;" if taking
that flag and sending it half
around the globe to find an
inoffersive and helpless peo
ple that we can subjugate
and destroy for conquest
for the suke of their land and
property if that doeB not
disgrace lhe-flng, then degra
dation of the flag Is impossi
ble. And yet these9ame war
howlers, not content with the
degree that the flag has been
trailed in the dust by the
acts above stated, they have
actually raised it over theSu
tu Islands, thus making it the
emblem of. slavery, polyga
my and piracy.
Again we say, ye gods, can
our flag be disgraced now?
We prefer to be disloyal if
one must endorse what is go
ing on now to be loval.

Editor Democrat:
'The hole country is being
severely "financed" by t h e
gold standard, the tariff and
the trusts: The people are in
a swing, with the "flnaciers"
hold of one end and the trusts
and combines of the other.
McKinloy's Philippine policy
is chock full ' of blowholes,
and Mark Hanna has come
home to find several panels
of his Ohio fence down. Ken
tucky will go democratic ol
course; she is built that way.
It is fitting that McKinley
should select the man of peace
Sampson, to webome the Na
vy's fighting man, Dewey.
And you say that John L.
Councill is no longer a demo
crat. Well, that only proves
that he belongg to that class
who keep rooms to rent in
theupier story. What the
people, and especially the re
publican politicians, would
like to know, is what to ex
pect next. We will never be
any better off until our cur
rency is on a bimetallic ba
sis. What does Bro. "Civis"
think of that? This whole ad
ministration is showing some
very unmistakable symp
toms of hollowhorn.
