A COMPILATION made by th"
llnchcstcr I'ostl"prc?s of
the expansion pl.mKs from
thp pliitfoims adopted by the
impnitant ISopuhllran state com on
tlons of l0fi shows that the ptesldent's
ticatnicnt of this new Is.suo lerelvc'
not only the unanimous hut also the
enthusiastic Mippoit of his patty In all
hoctlnns of the countiy.
In Pnllfoinla tin- continuant e of tho
polliy of the ptcsent ndmlnMi.itlnn Is
declared to be potential to the public
uelfaie. Colorado Ucpubllcans upoto
implldt tonlldciup In the ability of
their puty to sole with ciedlt to INolf
and with satisfaction to ocry lo il
and pjtiiotle AiiH'ilcati evciy pmhlnin
coiuoinliiff the new deiiendcndes. Con
necticut Republicans believe that the
glmlous vlctoiles won by our Iji.iU'
holdlers and sailors weto won In the
cause of llbeity, justice and peace an 1
that the nation has acauliod honoi
nlil nnd rightfully absolute title to
the Islands won fiom Spain. The-
les reappeir In dlffoient words In
peiy othei Kepublli .in state pl.itfuim,
toRPthei with thN spnthneiit so well
epicved In the Iowa plank: "We
faor the extension or roll-gen eminent
to all the people th.it hau 1 itely enino
uniler the piotectlon of this countiy at
lapldlj as they deinonstiate their
capacity to eetcKe It. We hold our
nutlioiity over them to bo a solemn
trust, to be eer Nod with an pp Iiik1
to theli Institictlou, development and
piospuitv." To this lotty sentiment
theio Is no dissenting olce. The the
oi y that expansion means exploitation
finds no support niuuui; the twenty
two platfonn delheiancps quoted In
our contempoiaiy's compilation. As It
well says:
"Those who examine these lecl.ui
tlons will be lmpiesseil with the unan
imity ami tho visor with which the
policy of President MeKlnIe Is hup
poited by the Republicans of the na
tion. In the dominant pan;, In this
country today there Is substantially no
dllfeienee of opinion. The Philippines
must be lotalned; this countiy must
Frovern tho Islands, and must she to
tho Inhabitants theieof the hlesMngv
of conization: they must be educated,
they must be tialned In splf-go em
inent, and Biadually they must hae a
sharp In Kn eminent. Tho Demoetatlr
lollty, on the other hand, the policy
Kumulited by Mi. liijan and set
foith In tho pliitfoims of the ininv
Democratic conientlons, W quite dif
ferent. That policy calls for 'Immedi
ate decimation of the nation's puiposo
to rIvo to the rillplnos (1) a stable
foim of ko eminent, (2) independence,
nnd (3) piotectlon fiom outside Intel
ference.' In other words, we must Im
mediately tuin tho Islands over to the
savages that inhabit them and use out
armv and na to .see that no gieit
nation Inteifeics with them! This is a
cow ai dly. ilaR-liiiullnp policy, so d.m
Eiious to the Filipinos and so mil of
menace to oui selves that this countiy
will never adopt it."
Piesldent Steyn Btntes that the
OiaiiKe Pieo State Is still tho state of
th" fiec; but It la through no fault of
Steyn.

IX AI'RIU 1SI1, within llility
days after his succession to tho
presidency, the death of William
Henry Ilnirlson opened tho
tVhltc House to John Tyler, who theie
upon ptoceeded to wreck tho hopes of
the Whig paity and to exhibit himself
ns the smallest man who up to that
time had i cached tho piesldency. In
1SEQ, a little more than nine jeais later,
death struck down Oeneial Zachaiy
Taylor, after ho had nerved but one
year and four months of his term. Mil
lard Fillmore took lils place, and when
Iw went out of it the Whig patty had
been destrojed. Fifteen years after
ward and within six necks of tho be
ginning of his second term, tho assas
sination of Abraham Lincoln caused
the presidential ofllco to devolvo upon
Andrew Johnson, who disgraced It as
it hud never been befoie, and as It has
not been since, and who struck vin
dictively at tho party which elected
lilm to the vice-presidency. In 1SS1, or
sixteen years afterward, assassination
claimed James A. Garfield ns lt& victim
nnd Chester A. Arthur becamo his suc
cessor. Ho was not In sympathy with
his piedeecsKor's colleagues; his eleva
tion to tho presidency caused the coun
try to pass thiough a long season of
distiuat.. and although hft proved to
bo a moderate, careful and lovol-heud-
ed president, he could not navo his
party from tho Democratic revolution
In KS2, which opened tho way for
Cleicland In JSS4.
From 1SU to 1SS1 four tlmea within
n period of forty yeius tho vlcc-piesl-tlent
of tho United States lias been
called to the tililco from which ha U
separated by only n single life, and In
every case In which he has boon so
called he has proved to bo either In
competent or ii source of disaster to
his paity or both. "William McKlnloy
Is teported to be In excellent health;
so also when elected were all tho other
presldenta who died In ofllce, nnd while
there Is every prospect that the presi
dent will live to serve out n second
term, experience shows that It Is tho
part of wisdom to keep In view tho
possibility of a vacancy In his ofllce
when thp one man who has tho right
to succeed him In such contingency
Is elected to tho second placo.
Tho delegates to the Republican na
tional convention should, therefore,
choose their vice-presidential candidate
i.lth this question uppetmost In their
minds: "Is this a man whom wo
would bo willing to see In the White
House If any misfortune should de
pth e the country of the services of
William MoKlnley7 Is he able, well
entilpped, wise and faithful a man
who can bo trusted by his party and
respected by his country?" A little
patriotic meditation over this thought
will eliminate from fuither considera
tion the noodles and the money bags
who bao been flgmlng In the vice
picsldentlal canvass. Tho vice-presidency
may be a No 1' ofllce, but It, nev
ertheless, should bo filled by u Xo. 1
man, when we consider that as often
on an aierago as once In every fifteen
mis sliue IS 11 Its occupant has been
summoned to the piesldency.
Kight thousand Plna Indians In Ari
zona ate starving through the action
of white settlers who have diverted
water until It has ceased to flow In
.sulllclent quantities to Irrigate tho
crops on their leservatlon. Tho gov
ernment will disti Unite tatlons and In
a few seasons ttansfoim the tribes
that have heretofore supported them
selves Into lazy beggais. Thl Is but
one of the many Instances where tho
noble led man has been forced to take
a step baikwaid by tho enterprise of
the hustling white bottler.
Occident Vs. Orient.
NT: OF THi: most careful stu
dents In this country of the
Chinese pioblem is ex-Oover-
imr Hookw alter of Ohio, also
an authoilly on Russian affairs, and
we observe that In a tecently published
interview he offeis leasons for doubt
ing that the present internal tioubles
in China will result In an obliteration
of Chinese nationality.
"in nmklnt; any ptedlctions ns to
China's possible fututc ou must," he
b.iji, "always take Into account the
hihtoiy of this maivelous nation. For
f.onu iais now China has been a na
tion and has piesenod her lntcgiity
art such, and has maintained her na
tional lite. Inning that peilod she has
eon the bhth, growth to matutlty nnd
decay of eeiy ciill7.itlon in tho
world. Chaldean, i:gptlan, Oreck,
l.din.in and a bundled other peoples
have inlsen, lived their appointed time
as nations mid passed away, while
China, a nation befoie those peilods,
a nation today, has Inscrutably looked
on and put sued her nppolnted course.
Dining this gioat cycle of eais, China
litis faced cilses that make tho pres
ent outlook theie seem til vial by com-p.uis-on.
Iho Taitars under Gicngls
Khan, Kuhla Khun and Tamaian
twice lonqueied her In war, and China
lecame a Tartar possession; but
China, In the lapse of time, absoibed
her conqueiois and later emetged an
Integral nation and still holds fato
tully to her appointed destiny. Tho
Hoxer riots find their pi edecessor In
the great Tni-Plng rebellion, in which
no less nutlioiity than Chinese Gordon
places tho loss of life at 18,000,000; and
ot. a few yeais after the lebelllon
was oer, China had wholly recovered
fiom this tremendous blow.
"In theso HO cenluiies of national
life the Chinese have become tho most
fixed nnd peisistcnt tjpo of humanity
known to ethnologltb. The Chinese
aio mote homogeneous than any other
people. Take a Chinaman and let him
Il SO yeais among an nllon people;
at the end of that time he Is a China
man still. He picks up no chat.ittcrls
tls of the people he lives among; he
cIocm not amalgamate with thorn. All
other nations ate new- when compniod
with the Chinese. They constantly
unleigo change; China never does.
Tailing these conditions Into consid
eration, I do not believe China will
lose her national existence. An at
tempt may be made to control tho In
ternal government of China by somo
so-called concert or agi cement of the
poweis. In such case It would be well
to lemcmbor that no matter what
China Is or what the occidental people
think sho is, tho eei lasting fact
stiuei no In tho face that for tl,
C00 jeais China has had a vital living
go eminent that has nffoided protec
tion for one-thlid of the human jace,
and has that government today. I be
lieve she could bo able to pieservo
that government by sheer foice of her
own Inheient strength (and tho
strength In the absolute passivity of
the oilental Is incalculable); but In
case of a ptoposed partition she would
have outside assistance, In my opin
ion. Hthnologlcal affinities must bo
counted on, and an nttemptcd parti
tion of China would diaw together tho
orient nnd array It against tho Occi
dent; nnd It looks to mo as though,
concealed beneath the suiface of the
ptesent dltllculty, there might bo tho
beginning of a war between the civi
lizations of the east and west.
"Tho uncertain piobtems In tho Chi
nese situation aio Russia and Japan,
and tho former Is a tremendously po
tions factor. Russia Is quasi-oriental,
and for that reason can better appro
clato and understand tho motives anil,
ambitions of China. She and China
aio friendly. Hveryono conversant
with eastern affairs acknowledges
that. For a half century and moro
Russia has had a college at reklng.
whom her young men havo gono for
thn solo purposo of receiving education
In Chinese affairs. For nearly 5,000
miles the boundaries of tho two coun-
o
tries- Join, and tho building of tho
Trans-Caspian nnd Trans-Siberian
rnlhoads has brought tho two nations
into actual physical, commercial and
political contact. It Is, moreover, a
vital necessity for Russia to rjulde
China's natloiuit life bo that It will
be least harmful to her politically, and
most helpful to her commercially.
From this state of nftalrs, I deduct
that when It comes to n show-down,
If China's existence Is thtcatoned, Rus
sla will call n halt. She will insist on
tho preservation of the empire nnd
will guarantee the protection of for
eign Interests In China. If the other
nations refuse thli, then war will fol
low. "In considering thli situation It
seems to mo that there are four car
dinal points to be remembered; first,
China has the Intel nal ability to pre
scro her national life; second, any
attempt to partition China will prob
ably bo occidental, In which enso any
cxttnncous combination of the nations
In Interest will be on ethnological
lines; third, politically tho preservation
of China as a nation is u necessity to
Russia nnd she will flght.lt necessary,
to preserve it; fourth, that naturally
Russia, Kngland nnd China should be
friends nnd not enemies, nnd that an
alliance between these thtco powers
would put the orient on a linn and
solid political foundation for centuries
to come. While a wnr may tako placo
fli st, I think in tho end that there will
bo an alliance between theso three
powers."
There Is, It seems to us, one other
possibility. A Russian guarantee of
protection for foreign interests in
China would have to be tested before
Its value could bo known. That Rus
sia will seek to control China in tho
end Is undoubted, but what If, In do
ing so, she shall not satisfy the occi
dental nations ns to the good faith of
her observance of international
pledges? Is the western or modern
world to lay down while the Russian
bear bestrides tho orient like a colos
sus? Reports from Taku Indicate that
Russia and Japan are neck-and-neck
in the rush to stake out claims in tho
Flowery Kingdom.

California We heartily endorse the

as exemplifying tho highest type of
Htat"smai ship, nnd Justifying In every

him by the Ameilcan people. Wo de
dal e oui selves In favor of the continu

welfaio and commend our ptcsldent ns
meriting lo-nominatlon and triumph

Colorado Wo commend the policy
pursued by the Republican national ad
ministration In the Philippines, in
Cuba, and In tho Island of Poito Rico
as wise, patriotic and humane, and wo
icposo implicit confidence in tho abili
ty of the Republican party to solve
eveiy pioblem concerning these islands
with credit to Itself and with satisfac
tion to every loyal and patriotic Amer
ican. Connecticut We believe that the
glorious victories vyon by our brave
soldiers nnd sailors were won In the
cause of liberty, Justice and peace. "We
believe that the nation has honorably
and rightfully acquired absolute title
to distant Islands of great strategic
and eommcicial value. We believe
that It Is the high nnd fcacred duty
of tho nation to secuie to the people
of those Islands the blessings of liber
ty, peace and happiness.
Delaware It Is tho duty of the na
tion to give good government to the
Philippines with tho largest share of
self-iule that future conditions may
seem to warrant nnd to regulate their
commercial iclatlons to the rest of
the countiy so that substantial justice
may bo lendciod.
Illinois In endorsing nnd appioving
tho policy and com so of tho adminis
tration and the legislation of congress
thus far l elating to our new posses
sions, ve expiess our confidence In the
ability of a Republican ndministtation
to deal with the complicated and Im
poitant questions involved in any
legislation for those Islands which may
ailse heieaftor.
Indiana The conflict with Spnln was
begun nnd cairled on from humane
and disinterested motives. The pos
session of tho islands, which came to
our hands as a lesult of that war, was
a consequenio of It not forseen, but
which could not be avoided with honor
nnd safety. Wo cannot escape tho re
sponsibility testing upon us. Our first
duty Is to establish tho authoilty of
the United States against nimed re
sistance; then to replace military with
civil administration. The guiding
ptinclple of our conduct In dealing
v Ith the people of those Islands should
be to piomoto their highest welfare
nnd wo pledge the largest possible free
dom of control In their affairs, ns their
ability for self-government shall be de
veloped and to uso all proper means
to advaneo their civilization and en
lightenment, Iowa Wo favor tho extension of self
government to till tho people that have
lately come under the protection of
this country ns rapidly as they de
inonstiate their capacity to exercise It.
We hold our authority over them to be
a solemn trust, to bo exercised with an
eyo single to their Insttuctlon, develop
ment, and prospeilty.
Kansas Tho Insurrection of Aguln
aldo Is kept allvo by hopes of Demo
cratic success, based on tho false cry
of Impei lallsm. Wo condemn this un
patilottc policy as being responsible
for tho continued war In the Philip
pines with Its cost of precious Uvea and
treasure.
New Hampshire Wo gloryjn the tri
umph of the Spanish war, both those
on land and those on sea. We aie
proud of the splendid records of our
naval and military heroes. Wo heart
ily bupport tho administration In tho
annexation of Hawaii and In the ac
quisition of Porto Rico, Guam, nnd the
Philippines. Tho Insurrection In tho
Philippines was a rebellion ngnlnst the
lawful authority of the United Statec,
nnd wo assert It Is tho duty of the
president to subdue It. Wo condemn
any encouragement given by Ameri
can citizens to those bearing arms
agnlnst our country. We Intrust tho
future government of our new posses
sions to congtosB and tho president,
believing that they may lawfully con
trol nnd govern them ns they deem
best, and feeling assured that they will
Blvo tho Islands every measure of local
self-government for which they may
show themselves fitted.
New Jersey We commend and en
dorse tho present ndmlnlstratlon of na
tional affalts, and give our highest ap
proval to tho course of William Mc
Klnloy, as exhibited not only In his
able nnd courageous support of party
principles, as defined at tho time of
his election, but also In the wisdom,
patriotism nnd exalted statesmanship
with which ho has dealt with now nnd
complex problems of great national
consequence, which have since arisen.
New York The Insurrection In the
Philippine islands has been overcome.
Organized rebellion no longer exists
and the establishment of American
authority In till tho Islnnds Is piocced
lng, to the contentment of their In
habitants. And throughout our new
colonial dominion the guiding ptinclple
of the government In all Its acts has
been to render life and property secure,
to preserve Individual liberty and free
dom of thought and action nnd to pre
pare tho 'way for a local uovernmont,
administered through local ugencles,
In which sttength and ability should
bo guaranteed In the popular icspcct
for law and order.
Ohio The provisions of the treaty of
Paris, which took fiom Spain her title
to the Philippine Islands, and vested In
the people of the United States un
questioned sovereignty over those
Islands, to be exercised for securing
to tho people thereof the blessings of
liberty and law, opened for those peo
ple tho only possible pathway of es
cape from oppression, nnd placed them
on tho road to progress In enlighten
ment and civilization. We approve the
wisdom and humanity of the piesldent
In negotiating tho treaty, of the senate
In confirming It by a two-thirds ma
jority, and of congress In appropriat
ing tho sum of J20.000.000 provided
therein to bo paid, by an almost unani
mous vote. The sovereignty thus de
liberately assumed by the conjoint ac
tion of the great treaty-making and
law-making powers of tho United
States It was the duty of the execu
tive to maintain, and we approve the
viffor, the w Isdom, and tho success
with which Piesldent McKlnley has
pcrfoimed that duty, and the forti
tude nnd heioism of tho soldiers and
sailors of the United States, thiough
whom It was performed. That sov
ereignty must not be icpudlated; and
tho high purposo of Its origin must be
accomplished in tho establishment of
peace and order, and tho blessings of
Individual liberty among tho people of
the Philippine islands.
South Dakota Wo unhesitatingly en
doise nnd approve tho policy and
couiso of the administration nnd the
legislation by congiess In icspcct to
our newly acquit ed possessions and
express full conlldonce In the wisdom,
integrity and ability of the adminis
tration, suppoitcd by the Republican
congress, to deal wisely and justly
with tho questions concerning the
same, as they may arise.
Veimont We believe that this coun
tiy should manfully accept and
shoulder tho inci eased duties and iu
sponslblllties that have come to It dur
ing the present administration, thiough
the wish and fieo choice of the people
concerned In the accession of the
Hawaiian islands, thiough tho for
tunes of war and as tho glorious ftu'.t
of the hctolc achievements of Ameri
can sailors and soldiers in the Island
possessions that became ours by the
terms of our tieaty with Spain. So
long ns any of the inhabitants of any
of these Islands continue In acts of in
sunectlon against the authority of tho
United States It Is the duty of the gov
ernment to quell such lnsunectlon, and
to establish there tianqulllty and
order.
Wyoming The sovereignty thus de
liberately assumed by the conjoint ac
tion of tho gieat tieaty-maklng and
law-making powers of the United
States It was tho duty of tho execu
tive to maintain, and wo approve tho
vigor, the wisdom, and the succets
with which Piesldent McKlnley has
performed that duty, and the fortitude
and heroism of tho soldiers and sailors
of the United States through whom ft
was performed. That sovereignty must
not be icpudlated; and that high pui
poso of Its oilgln must bo accom
plished in the establishment of peace
and order and tho blessings of indi

Phlllpplno Islands.

officers on the flist Wednesdiy of October, a
menth before the general election. Maine elects
a goiernor and other state officers (Maine has
no lieutenant goiernor) on the second Mondij
in September. Vermont chooses in the same
month, but a week cirller than Maine, a goi
ernor, lieutenant governor, tccrctarj of slate
and trrisurcr for the like term of two jears,
and also two representatives in congress.
Particular Interest centers around
our $20 Three-Piece Bedroom Suites.
And It Is not difficult to decide why.
There Is something about each piece
which catches tho eye and Invites a
better acquaintance. Then construc
tion and finish are observed and com
parisons made. The decision generally
Is that these aro better In every way
than anything ever offered at the pWco.

'He found the old man a-prey to one 'of those
deep, self-developed discouragements whose cause,
if we are to believe the mathematicians of health,
lies in a bad digestion in some swelling of the in
testines. He was seated languidly in a large oaken
chair of vast dimensions, covered with black leather,
and cast upon Porbus the distant glance of a man
sunk in absolute dejection." Bahac.j'
