J. Bryan. Imperialism the Supreme Insane, The Democratic party has not made imperialism the paramount {issue of this campaign. The stubborn facts in the recent history of this country and the maladministration of the McKinley regime in the Philippines have forced the question to a position of proml- nence which forbids the people to ig- nore it in choosing a chief magistrate, The issue is made paramount not by the wishes of a few members of any particular party, but because by all the laws of logic it is the question of first importance to the people. As Mr. Bryan very truly sald in his letter of acceptance, the settlement of the numerous questions which involve the domestic and economic welfare of the nation must be of secondary impor- tance until the doctrine that the people are the only source of power is made gecure from further attack. The Me- Kinley administration and the Repub- lican party have asked the people of this country to expunge from the con- stitution the fundamental principle upon which every free and untrammel- led government must rest. When the people decide that they can do without the clause “the people derive thelr just powers from the consent of the govern- ed” we are ready for a new constitu- tion and a new form of government founded upon might instead of right. The shufiling of the Republican plat- form in regard to the Philippines and the government of Porto Rico deceives no one. The platform builders were set the difficult task of covering an ugly and naked truth with fair and specious rhetorical clothing. But the truth persists in exhibiting its naked- ness in spite of its silken trappings and of its own volition takes its place in the position of supreme importance, refusing to be relegated to the rear, Imperialism is the one paramount issue of this campaign, and the only refuge offered the people from its menace is found in the platform of the Demo- _eratie party. oy NEED NOT BE NATURALIZED, The Natives of the Philippines and the Ha- walinn Islands Citizens of the U. 8, Judge Este, of the United States court, rendered a decision that must be of great interest to the people of the kJ d , and especially so with I'e to the laboring element of our citize it is the effect that since annexation of the Philippines Hawaiian Islands a native of nd of Guam does not need to naturalized a citizen of Hawaii, for the reason that the islands are under the same jurisdiction.

The Republican party cannot point to any avoidance of the true issues of this campaign. Even the money question, which properly speak- ing is not this fall an issue of first im- portance, has been kept plainly before the people by Mr. Bryan and other speakers. There has been no attempt to hide fit. This course presents a striking con- trast to the conduct of the Republican speakers who have appeared on the hustings this fall. Mr. Hanna himself tried to dispose of the trust Issue by his own simple unsupported assurance that there are no trusts. He thought to kill this important question with one breath of wind from his reservoir of oratory, and of course, with over three hundred organized trusts, robbing the people all over the country, and their robbery felt by every one, he utterly falled and became the laughing stock of sensible people. He and his col- leagues on the stump have studiously avoided the question of fmperialism whenever they have been able to do so, and have failed most ignominiously when compelled to attempt to answer the charges on this head. wer I duly set City pia time the Mr form 3 i to Appropriate From One Point, The appointment of General Frank Reeder as banking commissioner seems entirely appropriate from one point of view, He was dismissed In disgrace from Governor Hastings’ cabinet for having joined in a bond given to State Treasu Haywood to indemnify the latter for {illegal payments, made Quay henchmen, on the padded pay rolls of the legislature, A man of that stamp is just suited to the Quay-Stone administration of the state government.
