BLAIR, 45 PATTON AVE. 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 Will exhibit during the week a; ptilondaj X IBOZDsT Embrpidery that was bought at a conidrable.sacrlfice and will be sold accord- : jngly.

When.it came be- .fore the senate two-thirds . agreea tu xatify IV but this .number was oniy.se cured trough the Influence of William 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 mulated. They" are, , as the ChAnese authorities know perfectly well, fin- spired by no selfish motive that Is wot opnly avowed or cnncompltetelx be KABOHE. large stock-of ' - vV is south nam st. whichpreviail in miasmatic 4is tricts are in variaBly accompan ied by derangements of the Stomach Liver and Bowels.

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 President has been candid and just and merciful in a most trying situa tion, the Chinese authorities must not infer that he is a guillible imbeoiHe.", 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.

WEEDS ON MERRIMON AVENUE. 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. RESIDENT OF MERRIMON AVE.
