America has beeu asked to poke her
hand in the grab-bag in the contemplat
ed division of China. And why should
she not? She has at) good an excuse for
it as she had for buying the Philippines,
and besides, it will come cheaper and we
will not experience near so much trouble
in getting possession. If we are com
tnited to a land-grabbing policy there
is no reason for turning, a good thing
down. Durham Herald.
The Jacksonville Times-Union says the
people of the south know best how to
sympathize with the Cubans who hare
neither money nor credit, for they were
left in that condition after Sherman's
army had passed through on its victori
ous march. But the south had to fight
its battles without Federal appropria
tions. Cuba will have to do the same
thing. A nation that is composed of
freemen will work out their own salva- j
lion in spite of obstacles.
The Chatham Citizen and Hickory
Mercury, which call themselves Populist
papers, publish the anti-amendment ad
dress issued by Chairman Holton (Re
publican) with commendation. The Fu
sion office-holders and office seekers have
already arranged to fight next year to
gether for negro rule in the hope of keep
ing or getting back their offices. But
they can't deliver the voters. The white
folks will avail themselves of the op-
portunity of voting white, even if it
keeps pie-eaters out of office.

Hanna has made his last and boldest
bid for a big corruption fund from the
trusts. : In his speech at Chagrin Falls,
Ohio, speaking of the trusts, he said:
"Those combinations of capital will sur
vive the present prejudice which exists
against them," which is equivalent to
saying that the Republicans will not try
to molest them . Next day the bank
accounts of the trusts were at Hanna's
disposal. He is the most open' and
notorious corruptionist and political
