CORPSE OF ANTI IMPERIALISM TWICE PUT UNDERGROUND. l'fce Venerable Gentlemen Who Ad vocate Huultnw Down Oar FU| In the Philippines Hare Outlived Their Political Uaefalneea. Tlie Chicago Tribune In an editorial commenting on tbe recent campaign says: Looking back upon the campaign In ;i dispassionate spirit, does It not Btrlke the reflective and philosophical student us amazing that any "sane and safe" party should propose to the bounding manhood of this country the abandon ment of one of Its best possessions? When we come to think—ln the calm, melancholy days of late November—of this Issue so cruelly resurrected from the grave where It was put In 1900 and propelled into the forum of de bate, Insufficiently clad for public ex posure, we are Inclined to drop a si lent tear over tbe follies of mankind. What political leaders ha\®.g an atom of sense or experience can believe now t liat the Democracy had any chance to win 011 an issue of that kind? The cry of "anti-imperialism" was raised by a number of venerable aei\- tlemen who have outlived their po litical usefulness. The apostles of dis content on the Philippine question were Carl Schura, George S. Boutwell, George F. Edmunds and General Nel son A. Miles. The average man.and especially the average boy In the street, would have thought twice a short time HK'O If he had been asked whether some of these gentlemen were alive or dead and might even now reflect with discontent upon the fact that one or more of them arc certainly known to be alive since the campaign brought their existence to light. In a sense, all these gentlemen, and many more like thein, who became "strenuous" over the Philippine Issue are on the retired list. The American people have never yet been governed by their retired list. They never will be while they remain vigorous, pro gressive, self confident, alert and virile. Take the case of General Miles, for example. The young men of the coun try who know anything about him know that he was a brave soldier in tlie civil war and a very paladin of of fense during the Indian wurs that suc ceeded It. As a counselor they know nothing good of him. He is not saga cious when he leaves the tented field. Ills statesmanship is mediocre, his Unnper bad, his vanity boundless and his conceit uncontrollable. Who would think of asking Generul Miles In these days for «n opinion on any public question? Even In matters relating to the army his Judgment Irf so warped by political feeling and utterances so tinc tured by malevolence that they no longer have any weight. Mr. Boutwell Is a crabbed, egotistic, self centered octogenarian whom no mini would think of consulting on any question of business or affairs. Messrs. Kdiuunds and Schurz decidedly are on the shelf, and so are most of the other gentlemen who have united with theui In the Philippine clamor. The Tribune does not care to Indulge in self laudation nor to Iterate the wea risome shibboleth, "I told you so," but Is it not true that the bounding youth of the country repudiated, as the Trib une said it would do, with worn and indignation the suggestion that we should let the Philippines go? The Is sue was no more popular than that of 18<50, when Horace Greeley cried out. "I.et the erring sisters go In peuce." The young men of the country simply would not have it. They were deter mined that no palsied hand should haul down the American flag In the Philippines or any other place where It was properly flying. Why. the story of tbe Hawaiian Is lands should have been enough. "Para mount Ascendency" Blount, under the direction of Grover Cleveland, took down the flag In those Islands, and the country knew him no more, and there was no stop to public agitation until they became permanently a part of the Puited States. So will it always be in matters of this kind. The little Enghiuders who wished to have Great Britain abandon South Africa have put the Liberal par ty out of power most of the time for a generation, and it will be kept out of power as long as peace at any price statesmen control Its policy. The corps of "antl-Imperlallsm" has been put under ground twice. Twice should be enough, but If tlie Insane and unsafe Democracy wishes to raise the issue In 1908 the party of progress will again cheerfully meet It with bloody hands and welcome It for the third time to a hospitable grave. Trade Still Lively. The election has come and gone and trade Is running along as briskly as be fore under a full head of steam. There are no signs of slackening anywhere. Those skeptical ones who thought that the current activity was largely ficti tious and strained to affect the election now admit that the expansion in busi ness Is genuine.—San Francisco Call. It Waa a Boomfraaf. Judge Parker must wonder some times in his artless Rsoplan way whether those charges he made against the president and Chairman Cortelyou during the late campaign won any votes for him.
