BRYAN'S PHILIPPINE POLICY.
The friends of Mr. Bryan, who sup
pert 'him in his new crusade against
"Imperialism" An which, it mav be
said, he is not a leader, but a .follower,
. are advancing the argument that Mr.
Boryan has advanced a "definite policy
las to the Philippines while the repub
lican administration which he opposes,
, lias failed to do so. .Mr. (MtoKdnley and
the republican platform do not say
just what they will do when they have
subdued the -Filipinos, but !Mr. (Bryan
has a plan for immediate and for fu
ture action, and, he pledges himself as
tt what he will do, "without any ifs or
amd'S." Mr. (Bryan declares that if he
Is elected, he will "'convene congress in
extraordinary session as soon as I am
inaugurated" and use all tthe power
-that his office gives him to turn the
government of the Philippine islands
over to the people who are now fight
ing our armies there, and after they
iiave been given "independence" to
"protect the Filipinos from outside in
terference." This is certainly definite
enough, .but that does not arue that
it is also wise. In today's Gazette we
publish a letter from an officer who has
been for some months in the Philip
pines and Who !has had excellent ad
vantages for studying conditions' and
the (people there. His ideas as to the
proper course to pursue are Widely di
vergent from' the "cock sure" policy
annunciated by tMr. Bryan ant the
Kansas City platform. The logic of
Mr. Bryan's present position is (that
we should never have secured sover
eignty in tWese far eastern island, 'n
act for which Mr. 'Bryan is as respon
sible as any one man. Having assum
ed that sovereioTnty our duty was to
sustain it. We have seen no argu
ment advanced to explain how the
president of the United 'States could
kave pursued any other course than
that which he has pursued sindet the
'close of the Spanish war. The course
as outlined by a contemporary was as
follows:
When the Spanish war had gone to
such a point that it was obious to all
that Spain was in the last throes of
lier power to resist, the president of
the United States, as the daw required
him to do, appointed five of the most
eminent citizens of the United States
as commissioners, to treat with Spain
- as to the terms upon Which the -war
ould be brought to an end. These
commissioners met Ave Spanish com
missionerB in tParis where a treaty was
agreed upon between them by which in
consideration of the payment by the
ca3 oi ?20,ooo,000 to Spain

j. Bryan, who induced a -number of
democratic senators to vote for its rat
ification, '.but-being ratified, it became
one of the -binding treaties ?f this gov
ernment, and thereaf ter f aHi under the
influnce' of ith'&t clause of the cons titur.
tion which JdecOares that "this const
tution and the treaties made in pur-;
suance thereof are the supreme law of
the land." That jtreaty made the
Philippine islands just as much a part of
the United States as 'the state of Vir
ginia is, so far as the, law of the land
can make a territory a part of the
union, and it, became the president's
duty to enforce .ae laws of rthe Umteo:
States in the Philippine islands just
as much -as it is his duty to enforce the
Jaws of the United" States in the state
of Virginia, If the authority of the
United States is defied in the Philip
pine islands it is just as much his duty
to conquer that defiance ' as it is his
duty to conquer dtanance. of them in
the state of Virginia. These truths, are
so elementary that we, do not under
stand how any one can fall to under
etand them, or to gainsay them if he
does understand them. Not only so,
but the congress of the United States
provided the president with a larger
army for the express purpose of subdu
ing all opposition to the United States
authority in the Philippine islands.
The president, therefore, was not
only right in 'pursuing the course he
(has pursued, but if he .had ifailed to do
just what he has done, hie would have
willfully defied 'the atuthariity and the
commands of the Jaws of the United
States. To say, 'therefore!, that the
course which the president has pursued
indicated an intention to overthrow
our republican institutions and substi
tute the institutions of an empire for
them, is to say that obedience to the
laws of the United' States1 Is an under
mining of the laws of the United
'S'tattes.
The; Raleigh News and Observer and
the Wilmington Messenger represent
more perfectly than any newspapers
thte dominating influences in the dem
ocratic party in the last campaign in
this 'state. . If they still represent these
influence the ratification of the dis
francfhisding amendment has not ac
complished the chief aim for whicfh
many citizens gave it their support.
The News and Observer and the Mes
senger are now engaged . in a deter
mined effort to keep the negro 'issue
alive and to make it (the controlling
factor for defeating thi national re
publican administration next Novem
ber. This sustains the View of very
per.-
k many who opposed the injection of ithis
issue for alleged settlement in the
oatmpaign just closed, that the men
who made it their only political; capital
would not let lit drop, even if the
United States constitution wiere violat
ed 4n order to satisfy their Vigorous
howling for 'it final settlement. The
News and 'Oserver and th9 Wilming
ton Messenger have forgot ten their
promise that the "era of intellectual
freedom" would come when ithe
amendment was adopted. The iriepw
ators of the pledge of 1898 now appear
as the repudiators of the pledge1 of
1900. '
Joey Daniels evidently took his Sim
mons counting machine to Indianapo
lis with him. He gives the number as
150,000 people. No other report gives
the number as over 50,000, and some
put it at much under that number.
Joey is certainly unique.
A few days ago Our government de
manded of the government of China
that it give assurance that thie foreign
ministers are alive, and, if so, in what
condiitdion; .that the ministers be placed
in free communication with their gov
ernments, firing, "upon the 'legations
cease, and all dangers to their lives
and 'Mberty be removed; that the im
perial authorities place themselves in
communication with the relief expedi
tion, so that the legatloners may be
liberated, foreigners protected and or
der restored. This is defined a line of
action that no one; can misunderstand,
and that the most astute Chinese diplo
mat cannot avoid meeting squarly.
Says the Neiw York Times: "Our gov
ern me n't cannot possibly abate a jot or
title of the requirements fithas for

ask simply for the fullifliliment of obli
gations that the rulers ,of China have
assumed and clearly understand. To
secure the fulfillment of these obli
gations American troops hav been
sent to' c?hina, and American Wood has
been shed. It is impossible that we
should cease our efforts to attain and
maintain our rights on, the snaked- re
quest of the Chinese Gverninenit to
open ."negotiations." 'Because' the

tion, the Chinese authorities must not

THE SILVER ISSUE.
It is proper to recall the fact that
after this defeat in 1896 Mr. Bryan is
sued an address in which (he said":
"Before the year 1900 arrives Whe . evil
effects of a gold standard will be even
more evident 'than they are now, and
the people, then ready to demand an
American financial policy for the-
American people, will join with us in
the immediate restoration of rtihe free
and unlimited coinage of gold and sil
ver at the present legaH ratio of 16 to
1"
During the ifour years that have
elapsed tthe gold standard has been
strengthened and riveted upon the peo
ple If in its conditional form' it was an
evil to 1896 It is a still greater evil now.
Mr. iBryan is at liberty to regard tan
perialism as a vital1 question now, butt
he cannot abandon the silver issue.
Nor will he abandon it. Certainly he
will not insist to the utmost of his
power on an American ainaiicaai poli
cy for the American people." and on
the "immediate restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and sil
ver at the present legal ratio of 16 to
1." Four "years ago he said the people
would join in this demand, and there
Is no reason that "he himself will fail to
join lit.
Before .the campaign is over we are
sure that (Mr. "Bryan will reiterate all
that he has said in behalf of an Amer
ican financial palicy for the American
people, and wiM prove to all Democrats
that he regards it of. even more Im
portance than it was in 1896. Memphis

Editor of the Gazette:
I wish to call atteritJon to the dis-
graceful and disgusting condition of
Merrimon avenue . The weeds and thie
itles along the side of this principal ave
nue of the city would disgrace a coun
try lane, and are not only unsightly,,
but unwholesome. THey are alreadV
shoulder high in several places, decay
ing and going to seed. They will spread
a harvest in lawns? and gardens for
another year. It seems to me that our
aldermen and newspapers would do bet
aer to devote some attention to clean
ing up the ctty instead of messing so
much in politics.
