There are more than two sides to this question of a strike; there is the side of the great public at large and If It desires to es cape a danger beyond the ability of any prophet to forecast, now la the lime for it to make its influence felt.

He hnd a liearor and broader conception of poli tics than most statesmen; ho was better voi Fed In philosophy than the majority of philosopher, and had an acquaintance with science which would have given his statements au thority in any civilized land. As a linguist he had few equals and In mat ters of art and literature his wide re search nnd familiarity with every subject were a surpriso to even those who have made a life woik of such studies.

A Question of Patriotism. A T THE REUNION of the , 109th icglment of New York JL volunteers, held In Owego V ' on Monday, General Isnuo S Catflri, a prominent Democrat, voiced nptly tho soldier's view of the politician at homo who makes troubla for tho soldier boys at the front. Fays tho published version of his nddr'ss: "He likened thoho who aid the Fili pino? by moral support In their war ou' Americans to tho Tories of the Involution and the Copperheads of the Rebellion. Ho eald that no matter how high a man stood politically ha was morally guilty of treason when lib promised to go to the aid of the Filipino If tho latter kept on fighting. He further said thut If his son, Cap tnln Catlln, on duty In Ihe'PhlllppIncs, fjiould lose his life or limb In an am buscade of tho Filipinos his life or his blood would test on the head and the gory hands of those who urged the Filipinos to fight against the. Americans." Not nit of the mipporters of Bryan Ism In the present campaign are con scious that they aro giving fnlse en couragement to rebels against their count ry'o flag. Not nil of the men who supported McClellnn for president In ISC I on a platform declaring the war for the preservation of the Union a failure nnd during the compromise method to peace were conscious of the harm which that platform Involved. Hlnccrlty must be conceded to the great majority of the membership of all our political parties, however mis guided their convictions may occasion ally be. Uut there must bo Democrats enough, who comprehend the error Into which their party has been drag ged and who aro unwilling to Ignore the solemn Injunctions of General Lawton's letter, to render finally harmless the effect of the Bryan flag hauling programme upon the few re bellious Filipinos. This Is a question rising above partisanship; It Is a ques tion of patriotism. LI Hung Chang and the parties who offered rewards for the rescue of the legatlonors at Pekln seem to have dis appeared about the same time. The Growth of Our Cities. CLAJ1 fro BUS LAMORS FOR a recount come from several cities whose cen sus figures arc unsatisfactory. This is notably true of Den ver and Chicago, where police, school and city directory enumerations great ly exceed the official count. Where specific error can bo pointed out It should, of course, be promptly reme died. Tho census rating Is an import ant municipal factor entering largely Into the consideration of those looking for new places of residence or indus try und It should be n Just rating. But mere general disappointment as to the percentage of growth in any city is a flimsy basis for a demand for a recount. In this connection It must be re membered that during the last ten years the growth of our larger cities has moderated from certain well-recognized causes. One of these, the most prominent, has been tho tendency of .business operations to modify from tho speculative to a more conservative basis. If we except tho speculation In franchises and charters which Is yi-l very general and confine our re marks to industrial and mercantile en terprise It is plain that this is steadily growing more cautious. The result Is that money Is not accumulated so rapidly as was tho case In the younger days of city development; It is not cir culated so lavishly or with such an air of abandon, and the Incentive which draws young men from the farm or small village Into the so-called hubs of enterprise, while by no moans In considerable, has today perhaps less glamor about It than It has had at any prior time. Wo think It Is ob servable that the tendency of young men in fairly comfortable circum stances In the village or sinnll city to hazard a plunge into tho metropolitan whirl without first having secured sat isfactory employment Is diminishing. Another factor tending to retard the growth of our larger cities Is the dif ficulty experienced by urban factory managers In getting nlong withV tho labor in their employ. The multipli cation of organizations among tho toll ers In our cities has In many Instances Improved their condition but In other Instances where unwise leadership has pievalled it has, through sympathy strikes, boycotts and other demonstra tions of Its power caused a migration of factories to smaller communities, where the liability to friction Is not so great. T -stlmony to this effect has been collected In abundance by tho United States Industrial commission; and it is corroborated by many acts within the range of local observation, notably the dispersal of small silk and other textile industries among the towns of our neighborhood. This Is a factor necessarily exerting an influence upon the census returns. Our cities as a whole nre growing but except where special nnd tempor ary conditions of a "boom" character prevail the ratio of their growth Is diminishing. This Is as it should be. People aro quite as necessary In the country as In tho towns. Ellas Hurtz, the famous goose-bone prophet, of Reading, announces that ho will publish his annual prognosti cations In a few days. As nil the other weather prophets appear to have had tho elements against them recently, the predictions of Mr. Hartz will be nwalted with interest. The young man up the Hudson, who proclaimed himself Charley Ross the other day, displayed very poor Judg ment. He could have created more Interest In New York by Impersonat ing the Ios.t statesman. David I.'ennett Hill. Most people will ugi'L-e with Prof. Fltzsimmons that it Is nobler to go down with the Horton law than before the gloves of an ambitious opponent. POLITICAL HOME THRUSTS. The brac General Law ton, a life lontf Demo crat, lost his life because ol tlio encourugemant frlen AKUlnahlo by hit American ymp.ithlcrs. Tho Democratic leaders Ime the audacity to aa!t the Vetera to indorse that policy in Nuvcinbir. "Llect me to the presidency. The icnate ij safely Republican, and it would be impossible for me to do any liaun to till couulry during lh nU four ycara." Does Tiie country want a chief executive who is compelled to male aucli a plea in Ida own behalf? All the lititorlc precedent! favor the re-election of l'reldent McKlnley for no picbldent bai ever run for a second term with a united party be hind him wbu wao not ru-elected. The presi dents uho hoe held two terms were Washington, Jeffcrion, Madison, Monroe, JacKson, Lincoln and Grant. Theso were re-elected either by lira whole people, us in tho case ol Washington und Monroe, or by an undivided party vote. The presidents vtho were defeated for a second firm were John Adams, John Quincy Adam, Martin Van Durcn, Gruitr Cleveland and Ilenjamin IHrrUon, and In each cme their defeat was due to dlsscnsloni In their own party, and tiny Mere not loyally supjiorttHl. The moit recent lnstamrJ, lfairiton and Cleveland, are within the memory of every one. The former"' quarrel with Illolne lost him many iote, while Cleveland was defeated In New York by one of the Democratlo factions, Hut there are no divisions In the Republican party today, based on the spirit ol faction or enmity to McKlnley, The party stands four square to tho world, presenting an unbroken front In every direction. The riicmlon are in the Democratic party, not the llipubllcan. SENATOR DAVIS ON CAMPAIGN ISSUES STUiniNCJ ADDRESS BY MINNE SOTA'S GREAT STATESMAN. In Well Chosen Words Ho Cuts Through the Mazes of Bryan's Adroit Oratory and Lays Bare the Follies of tho Democratic Platform. Chicago, Aug. 29. Prominent men from all parts of the country gathered around the tables In the banquet halt of tho Auditorium hall to attend the feast given by the Hamilton club of this city In their honor. The Hamil ton club Is a Republican organization, and after the menu politics arc the chief thing under discussion. President Fairbanks of tho club acted as toastmastcr, and with him at the head table sat Colonel D. B. Hen derson, speaker of the house of rep resentatives; Senator Cushman K. Da vis, of Minnesota; Senator Dolllver, of Iowa; Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency; General Shaw, com mander In chief of the Grand Army of the Republic; Walter Warder, acting governor of Illinois; Lieutenant Gen eral Miles, Major General Louis Wag ner, General Daniel E. Sickles, Judge Leo Rasslur nnd others. President Bangs opened the speech mnking with a short address, at the end of which ho Introduced Speaker Henderson. Tho address of Speaker Henderson was most happily received, and he was heartily cheered as he re sumed his seat. President Bangs then brought for ward aa the next speaker Senator Cushman K. Davis, who replied as fol lows to the toast "Our Destiny:" This campaign Is portentous. Others have been conducted on a few Issues economic or moral. In this one the Domocratlp party and it- can didate mean the reversal of every policy, domes tic and foreign, monetary, financial, protective and cvpanslve. which luu made the sdmtnutra Hon of President McKlnley one of the most tiorious In our history by the splendor of Its military and naval achievement-., bv Its revival of dying Industrie, by it financial legislation, by its maklne; the United States the first money power In the world, by Its extension of our sov-ircla-iity and by our advancement to the -.cry forefront of international influence The meas ures nnd policies which have wrought these Im posing political results are severally and re spectively condemned, eltlur In theniclvei or in their Just consequence-", and their abrogation Is demanded by the declaration of Democratic principles, made at Kansas City. This declara tion does nit denounce the administration of President McKlnley for Its failures, it condemns It for Its achievements. For the first time the sovereignty of tho United States over ttrritory, held by unquestionable title, U to be abandoned and the flag lowered and that, too, In capitulation to a flagrant in surrection against its authority. No Democratic platform, no Democratic speaker, expresses any satisfaction with our triumphs in war, or with the abounding prosperity of our peorle, or with our International ascendancy. How can they rejoice in a prosperity which falsifies every pre diction they made four years ago, and the ap proval of which now would refute every claim that they can poudbly make for their political restoration? The Chinese Problem. The Democratic party was sllrnt rccpecUng our relations with China berauso to declare opinions upon that subject which the American people would not receive with contempt and spurn with disgust would cause the broom-stick ghost of "Imperialism" and "Militarism" to anUh in an Instant. So to speak would annihilate those "paramount issues' because jt would admit that even the blind, when told, can perceive, cvvii it they cannot see It, that the status, the occu pation and the sovereignty of the United States in the Philippines are at thi moment and m this great crisis of civilization commanding and absolutely indUpenaihlc. They vindicate the wisdom cf holding those possession", unless the United States is to recede to the shores of the American continent Ix-come herself a little China, cancel herwlf as a factor In the gieat civilians and commercial change In the Asiatic Orier.t. .in event fully as important as the dis co, try nf America by Columbus, Thire aie few events in our diplomatic anil nillltery hlsto-y more honorable than the con summate pklll, the wie conservatism, nnd the unflinching courage by which the administration of President McKlnley relieved our legation ana at I he same time maintained proper relations with the Chinese empire. The policy of the I nlted States as to China should, in my opin ion, be this: It must lescuc Its cltlrem. It must exact Indemnity for all Injuries to their pcrse.n or property. It will Insb-t that China hall observe nil trea'y stipulations and that, un der any and all conditions of sovereignty, ces Flon or foieign ascendance, the oren cioor shall remain open. We fhall use no military force for conquest, and have no concert with any Euro pean power, except to rescue our citizens and their. We covet no Chinese tenitory, and we will acquire nunc. We desire no territorial sphero of Influence. We will give no approval or support, physical, moral or sentimental, to the dhmcniberment of China, or to me extinc tion of hT sover-ijnty by the acquisition of spheres of influence by any European iwwer. I look for a regeneration of China as the result of tho convulsions the is now suffering. It will ccmo to pix not by th partition of that mlijhty and Immemorial empire, but bv Its full entry into commercial relations with the other nations of the world. The process will not be a long one. It has beer, going on for fifty years, and has become more perlect and exten sive every year. When fully completed the United State's will be the greatest participant in that trade ol the I'aciflc which Humboldt predicted more than seventy-five years agn would be the greatest commerce that land and sea have every known. We ncc5 cross but one ocean to grasp tho "wealth of Ormus and of Ind." Europe must traverse four seas to shire it We can produce everything wmen mar, in satiable market can absorb, tust as now w-e are producing nnd exporting our fabrics, textile, metallic and miscellaneous, io ciety iiiur.-i in the world, as the direct result of Republican economic policies put In force during our civil war and steadily persisted in by thai party ever since. This is manifest destiny; it is written by an auspicious astrology upon the sky of a visible future. It will gixe fifteen millions of people to our states ol the Pacific coast; it will open a career to the talents of an aspiring youth an! in every way carry the United States far alona; oi that course of national grandeur for xvlitch I believe it was ordained. Paramount Issues, Imperialism Is not the paramount Issue of the campaign and cannot be made so. The ad. jutmciit of any question as to the Philippines Is to bo considered after rebellion against the sovereignty and authority ol the United States Las been put down. The paramount luucs this jcar arc financial and economic. Shall the ntl protection party ol 10 to 1 be put In power to advance Its principles by the enormous powers of executive influence In case Mr. nrjan Is elcci d, and win the ilrat engagement in a campaign the next battle of whkh will be for the contiol of both houses of onmif Tho (juration for the plain people li, Do they wish, with the instructions of a bitter experi ence fifth and deep in their memories, to change or submit to the change of that abound ing prosperity vvhldi cime with the election of I'rvsldent McKlnley a prosperity which no Democratlo jilalfunn er speaker denies nor dare not rejoice in or even alludo to. Aulnaldo can xvalt until the American people take "a liond of fate" If necesry by annihilating, for the preservation of their own domestic interests, the political combination which la at the same time their cm my uuc tho alder and abettor of the Tagal rebels. The immediate duty ol Ibis government aa to the Phllptius is to maintain Us sovereignty and to cruili rebellion against it. What Us constitutional powers and liintatluns are can be more profitably discussed and considered after the authority of the United Etatit shall have been firmly established. I do not believe that the constitution contains any disabling inhlbl. tions which will prevent this government from governing, and governing those islands as their beat interests may demand and according to the rapacities of their people. No uch difficulties intervened In the administration ol Louisiana, Florida or the territory which we acquired from Mexico. Congress legislated at tbe last ecwlon In regard to the government ol Alaska In om particulars entirely unwarranted by the consti tution, II the disabling construction placed upon It by our opponent is correct. Hold the Philippines. There are certain large and general considera tions, however, which, to my mind, demon Urate that the authority to govern these de pendencies Is vested In congress suojeci 10 no disabling limitations of certain provisions ol the ronalllutlon, which, becauso they are Inap plicable to sueh a situation never could have been designed by the framens to apply to It. t believe It i.eer was beard before that any con stitutional tm-rrntnent with the full and com plete powers of a nation was disabled by the xery Instrument which created It from tbe ac quisition ot territory by the consideration that it would U Impossible to govern It when ac quired. Speaking iny own opinion, I would hold the Philippines permanently and not pro xlslonally. I would, from time to time, as their people demonstrate their capability, give them the fullest power of self-government they are capable of exercising. 1 would do as Oreat Britain did with a race ef the same flock In the Strait! Settlements, where, fllty ycara ago, she found a bartsroua population ruled by three separate Bultans, making war on eacn omcr and infesting tho seas with piracy. Little by little ihe has given them sell-govcrnmer.t, uttll their sclf-admlnlstratlon is now almost com plete. It Is one of the most productive, pros perous and peaceful communities In the world. It Is lojal to the mother state and its soldiers stand ready to be marshaled In arms for tho po tectlon of her sovereignty and for civlll'-ition In China. The conditions and situations ss to Cuba and the Philippines are not the same. We never bad sovereignty over Cuba. We have sover eignty over the Philpplnes. When we inter vened as between Cuba and Spain, ih Cu'ians were In arms fighting for their Independence and were practically belligerents. When we Imaded the Philippines the natives were not in arms. We never promised to give independence to them and they did not demand it at that time. Ilofore we invaded Cuba, in the very declaration of war against Spain, this government did promise to give independence to that island. We made no 6uch promise as to Torto Illco. Our title to Porto Itico nnd the Philippines rests uiion the same Incontestable basis, and jet I have not heard that even the Democracy purposes or wishes to erect Porto Illco Into an Indc perdent state. Whcro Bryan Shrinks. In declaring that he will convene congress for these purposes, Mr. Drjan shrinks from the log ical consequences of his own position. II elect ed president ol the United States, he will be come the commander In chief cf the aimy and navy conducting a war which he and the plat form upon which he stands as.ert to be a "crim inal aggression" against a people who ought to be independent. As such commander In chief, holding to'such principles, he would have the right to withdraw every' man from the Philip pines, cause our squadron to sail out of Manila Hay, to entirely evacuate tire archipelago, and to use his own language leave their peopla to work out their own destiny. As president he could rccognire the existence and independ ence of the I'blllpplncs republic. A bold man, holding such x-iews as these and xvith such powers, would sxy that he Intended to use them. Hut there Mr. Bryan halts and recoils. He pur poses to throw the responsibility upon congress, well knowing that by a Republican senate and house of representatives no such action as he proposes to recommend would receive the least sanction. I shall not detain you xvith any discussion of this hug-bear of "militarism." We are crip pled today by Inadequacy of our military force in performing our manifest duties as to our people in China. The events in that empire demonstrate, ns did our unprepared condition at the beginning of the Spanish war, how sud denly and unexpectedly crises may arise which will call for the exercise of our military power and find it entirely lacking. A nation of scr-enty-five millions of free jrcople xast in extent need have no fear that an empire will be erected upon the ruins of the republic by the scattered forces of an army of one hundred thousand men. But if an Increased army leads to militarism so docs an increased navy, and yet we hear no word of protest from the Democratlo party against that because such a protest would be carrying the argument too far; and yet a navy, In the establishment of militarism or Imperial ism, could reduce our coast cities, could attack Washington, could hold the arsenals and urate gle points on all our shores, and do as much as, and possibly more, than an army could toward the overthrow of this government or the change ot its form. A small Brazilian navy did this once- aa to Brazil and attempted it again. The truth Is there is no danger from either of these great arms of our military sen Ice. They are the right hand the left hand of our power nnd defence at home and abroad. Their officers and men are as loxal as Grant und Sherman and Sheridan and Karragut and Porter and W'ordcn, and their soldiers and Bailors vx-ero In their time. The Verdict of History. If the existence of the Ilepubllcan party should be cloawl today its history would be that cf the nation saved, of a protcctivo sjstem under wldcli the United States has become the greatest manufacturing nation in the world, of a general industrial development which sustains 73,010,000 of people, of a financial system which has cre ated an unimpeachable credit, of all the bless ings xvblcli civilization can center upon hu manity. But its existence will not end this yrar, nor for many yean to come. Its augit.t mission Is not jet performed. So long as It rep. resents, as It docs now, the national prosierliy and honor, national growth with renown and right, national prestige in their relations of the United states with foreign powers as the result of the neutrality ot a puissant nation, safe in the enjojment ot all its rights, because of Its manifest ability to cause other nations to respect them, the Hepublican party xvill shape the destinies ol the American people. Senator Dolllver, of Iowa, was greet ed with prolonged cheers as he arose to rebpond to tho toaat "Prosperity and Its Causes." The new senator from Iowa received, at the close of his address, un ovation which surpassed the reception that met him before ho began to speak. Georgo "W. Miller, of Chicago, re sponded to the sentiment "Illinois," and a number of impromptu addresses wero mado by local speakers. oVrULTTJM IN PAE.VO.
