JJNDERthe above indefinite cap tion some newspapers calling themselves Democratic are quoting the opinions of Snmuol J. Tilden, Grover Cleveland and William J. Bryan, whom they call the three most noted leaders of Democracy since the Civil War, against such enterprises as the annexation of Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. The chief arguments lie in the as sertion that this has been a war of conquest, and that there is danger in entering into n partnership in self government with inferior or mixed races.. That the Declaration of Independence is eloquent against taking forcible possession of the islands of tho sea and ruling them against the consent of the inbabi tants." The difficulty with the soundness of the argument is that the premises are false. We entered on no war of conquest. That was distinctly disavowed at the very outset, and the war was not prose cuted with any such spirit or aim. It was simply to free a down trodden people from the tyranny and exac tions of a nation which had shown itsolf incapable and too inhuman to rule and govern its island depen dencies. The Cubans were in a state of turmoil under Spanish out rages, persecutions and oppres sions. This state of affairs existing at our very doors was a menace to our quiet national peace and pros perity. Spain has shown herself powerless to either subdue the in surgents or afford them a stable government. We undertook for humanity's Bake to pacify the exist ing conditions, and, in lbs than four months have accomplished what Spain for lnauy years had been unable to do. Suppose that it was proposed even to give the ballot to the inhabitants of our new pos sessions, can it be said that they are less fitted for the ballot than were the negroes of the South or a large number of foreigners upon whom the right of suffrage isannuully cou forred. Our Federal Government is elastio and in spite of the oft repeated predictions mnda by tho English and others who took a pes simistic view of our institutions, it has not only survived but grown stronger and more coherent. After the Revolutionary War Groat Brit ain believed that we were not and never could be united, and that wo youid brtak in pieces and Id ab sorbed by European Staff. When the war of semssioit came and sue ceeding Stotes declared themselves out of the Union, the unlielievera in the stability of fre government be lievod our hour had come and it was announced by the British minister at Washington that the "Great Re public is no more, and that all that is now needed Is a tombstone in the graveyard of nations to indicate the day of its birth and the day of its death. The war with Spain has welded anew the bnds between the North and the South and we emerge from the brief conflict with a new cement of brotherly love and affec. tion spread over our common conn. try. The North and the South have fought on the same field under one flag, and their sons have mingled their blood ori foreign shores in a common cause. Our country is stronger to-day than ever before and her feet are more firmly plant, ed on the rock of the brotherhood of mankind, and the sentiment ex pressed in the immortal words of Jefferson in the Declaration of In dependence finds new growth and meaning in tho nation's heart. If the Democrats dosire to plant them selves on the doctrine of non ex pansion of territory or non reten tion of our lately acquired islands, they will find no answering response among the people. We are a great notion and have ovorcomo in the post difficulties which seemed in surmountable, and this, too, when we were alone, and opposed by the nations of Europe. Now that our strength on sea and land has com pelled admiration, respect and even fear in the whole world, there can be no question os to whether this Republics will live. The whole as pect is changed and it will be no longer aked who will be friendly with us, but, with whom will we be friends. We are imperialists in trie sense of retaining and giving to the islands over which our flog now floats a secure, stable and enlight ened government, with Christian izing aims and impulses.

The attendance lost year was not largo, though able and interesting speakers were present, and much valuable information imparted. It is to be hoped that those who may be a-mt here this year will be greet ed by good audiences. The State pays out largo sums of money an nually for tho expenses of speakers, and farmers and othors should take evory advantage of the opportun ities presented for gaining addition al light on the problem of how to make tho farm pay. If thoy do not, the money so expendod for their benefit is wasted. There are none so deaf as those who, having ears, will not hear to their advan tage, or so little to be pitied as those who, having light furnished, will not take the pains to look nt the pitfalls which may beset their way. The State maintains an experimen tal farm where many theories, too costly for individual attempts, are tested, and numerous experiments made, all of which go to benefit and aid the larmers in their work. The experience is all theirs simply for tho listening or asking. Come out and avail yoursolves of it. No-To-Ilae for Fifty Cent.

How the State Treats the Local Taxpayer. Philadelphia, Aug. S0.--"If Dtinnel ly says there ever was more than two policemen at any polling place In my ward he Is a liar," shouted ex-Mads trate Jeter J. Hughes, the leader of the Delehunty Democracy, at the harmony meeting here last week. Whereupon Magistrate Donnelly, of the riyar. L'emocracy, In a harmonl ius spirit of repartee and a geographical ly limited sense of judicial dignity, responded: "If I had you outside I would punch your face." The meeting of which this was a characteristic Incident, and the meet Ing on the same day of Mr. Wanama ker's so-called Business Men's League, which seems td be an Invention for pulling the business man's leg, together with the announcement of an attempt to make a truck-and-dlcker deal be tween, the two representative bodies, with Dr. Swallow between as the ton gue of the wagon, made the lant week a Democratic one, so far as news Is concerned. For whatever Is anti-He-publican, by whatever name It Is call ed temporarily, Is Democratic, since It Is the Democratic party which will prolit In the state and nation by every vote cast against Republican candi dates. Moreover, there Is no longer any con cealment of the terms of the bargain that is sought to be made, nor of the stake which each party to the com bine Is expected to throw Into the pot. The Democrats have already, at the Altoona convention, turned their backs on the national principles upon which they fought the last campaign. True, they did not do so without consulting the national leaders of their party, for I happen to know that In response to an Inquiry from Colonel Ouffey, as to how far they could go without being cast out of the fold, National Chair man Jones gave him full liberty to adopt or denounce any doctrine as might seem to him good, adding plain tively that he didn't see "the chance for Democratic success was very good anywhere thlB fall fall anyhow." Nor would they be, In -the face of the mag nificent Republican administration which the people are to vote their opin ion of In November, but that the dis cordant efforts of a few disappointed Republicans, who think their member ship In the millionaires' club ought to make them the dictators of the party, and of a serviceable lot of others who are always willing to shout for any body who will pan out for "the legiti mate expenses of the campaign," are enough to give Interest to the situation and challenge every local Republican to do his duty. Doctor Hwallow, for his share, has already cast Into the pot the distinctive principles of the Prohibition party, and la too busy abusing and maligning everything Republican (with the same reckless tongue which brought him to trial in the Wllllamsport conference of his church upon the charge of being both a common and a specific and par ticular liar), to Intimate to his hearers that whisky ought not to flow free as water. The sacrifices which Republicans who are asked to leave their party will be expected to make were clearly out lined In Mr. Wanamaker's speech which was received with enthusiasm almost amounting to a tumult among the se lect gathering of 26 people to whom he read It. They are expected to see the Democrats and go them one further; to cast behind them not only their na tional but their state principles; to forget that there are such things as Democrats and Republicans, and to en ter Into secret alliance with any and every force which In the past has shown Itself hostile to their party or the principles It represents, to the sole end of overthrowing the present lead ership of their party, under which It has won the grandest and greatest victories In all Its victorious history. That's all, and with the frankness of a tail that has determined to wag tho dog, or wag Itself off a-trying, they brandish the declaration In advance that the men they hope to elect to the legislature under the guise of Republi cans will all be pledged In advance not to go Into the Republican caucus; In other words, not to abide the Judgment of the party majority on any party question. Whom they will vote for for governor and the other state positions, and for congressmen-at-large, and for con gressmen In the various districts, they do not say. The presumption Is that their Democratic allies have made si lence upon this point a condition of fellowship, leaving the matter open for separate dickering In various districts, according to circumstances. Well, It may be possible to make people forget all about the war and the tremendous questions which it leaves yet to be settled; forget that there is such a thing as Democracy and Republican Ism, and turn a. campaign whose Issues are as Important as any In SO years upon the mere question of how many pasters and folders the legislature should employ, and what It should pay them per day, but the success of the scheme Is open to doubt as clearly as fts motives are open to suspicion. It is said that "Hell hath no demon like a woman scorned," but she Is good company alongside of a disappointed office-seeker, whose wrath would com mand the sun and the moon to stand still until his vengeance was satisfied. Garcia, taking his hungry Cuban ar my to the hills In a pet because Shat ter wouldn't let him run the town, doesn't compare with these men de manding the heads of the Republican leaders under whose leadership they were fairly, squarely and completely defeated by the party In their aspira tions for office. It Is more like a de mand from Spain that Dewey and Bchley shall be not promoted, but dismissed from their commands. Mr. Wanamaker's speech at his lit tle gathering, as a matter of fact, was disappointing, although it was much admired by the city papers, which get from four to six columns of good ad vertising from him every day. It was brilliant and vigorous, but It was the brilliancy of the wlll-o-the-wlsp. and the unprofitable vigor of a kicking 11) wis. I; way (nil of , vUutH-7l 1 A abuse of Republican administration of state affairs, but alleged nothing spe cific, and only repeated In general and more picturesque terms the old and discredited charges for which Dr. Swallow, when he put them In definite form, was criminally convicted In the Dauphin county court. It set up a ghost of dishonesty In state affairs, and then scared at It. although not one dollar has been lost or stolen from the state treasury by mismanagement or dis honesty In all the years of Republican administration, and It cried out against alleged extravagance and oppressive taxation under which the people are groaning, although not a man In all the state of Pennsylvania, except he has money at Interest, pays a special li cense for conducting a particular bus iness, or Is a stockholder In a bank, a railroad company, or some like corpor ation, pays one cent of tax toward the support of the state government, di rectly or Indirectly, if anyone will take the trouble to look at the official records he will see that there Is only one county In the state, that of Phila delphia, which does not get directly back from the state In appropriations for local purposes, and which go to llghjen the burden of local taxation, thousands of dollars more than It pays In, running In some of the poorer counties ss high as eight times as much. There are only two counties, Philadelphia and Allegheny, which do not get back more money for common school purposes alone than all that their citizens pay In. The Individual citizen In Pennsylvania, under the leg islation which the Republican party has made, pays nothing as an Individ ual toward the support of the state government. The corporation taxes and the special taxes and the license fees upon particular classes of business foot the entire bill, and amount to over $3,000,000 besides, which Is divided among the counties to lighten the bur dens of local taxation. This Is the sort of a Republican rec ord which anybody has to go up against who undertakes to make antl-Republl-can fight on state Issues. The truth Is that the state of Pennsylvania Is not the oppressor of Its citlxens, but their benefactor, and nobody Is "groaning" under anything worse than an unsat isfied ambition to hold office, or some thing he has eaten that doesn't agree with him There are a good many peo ple, you know, who mistake their In active liver for an active conscience. Mr. Wanamaker's speech was bril liantly composed, however, and as a piece of vituperative English reflects credit on the man who wrote It. "But that," as Mr. Kipling would say, "is another story."
