Here are his words:
"I.et us say at once that the scheme
of occupying a territory remote from

will—Is not merely a serious innova-
tion upon the original plan embodied
by the constitution of the T" lifted Stat-

statesmen, to say nothing about the

After a brief review of the past one
hundred yer.rs, he accepts the republi-
can doctrine of providence and says:
"God moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform. He made the

Dewey in Manila than He was behind
Shafter and Sampson and Schley at
Santiago. What was His ail-wise pur-
pose? We know not. But there we
were and there we are: and nothing i demo, ratlc
is surer in the future than that we
shall be there a century hence unless
some power turns up strong enough
to drive us out. Instead, therefore, of
discussing the abstraction of imper-
ialism, illustrated by the rights and
wrongs of ihe Philippines, Mr. Bryan
were more profitably engaged in con-
sidering how we may best administer

evil, are with us to stay."

as to the si/e
sented last fall and the people had de-
liberately indorsed the republican pol-
i y. Suppose th campaign of 1900 had
been fought with no other question be-
fore the people, even then it would
still be the duty ol' those who are con-
scientiously opposed to imperialism to
continue the discussion, with the hope
of convincing a majority of the people.
But, as a matter ol fact, there were a
number of Issues in the campaign.
While imperialism was declared I y the
convention to be para-
mount. every one knows that other
questions entered into the contest, and
it is also well known that the republi-
can party constantly denied that it had
any thought of attacking fundamental j
principles, or of onverting a republic '
into an empire. The indictment
brought against the republican party
was so 3everc that a groat many re-
fused to believe the party capable of
such intentions as were charged.
Then, too, the republicans sought
republican theory that God is respon- cover behind the fact that a war was in
sible for what we have done; that it
Is a matter of destiny, and that we
are being swept along by influences
over which we have no control.
The doctrine enunciated by the re-
publicans since the Spanish war. and
now indorsed by so great an editor as
Mr. Watterson, is not only dangerous,
but it is immoral. It is politically dan
progress. They circulated misleading
reports from the Philippine Islands,
and declared that the lives of Ameri-
can soldiers were imperiled by the fact
that the democrats were criticising the
administration.
What the democratic party needs is
not advice to surrendei, but courage
to resist the attacks which are being
gerous because it encourages the re- J made upon American doctrines and
publican party to shirk responsibility democratic principles.
The campaign of 189<i was the first
or.e in recent years when there was a
radical issue between the parties. The
republican party pretended to want in-
ternational bimetallism, when it really
wanted the gold standard. It won its
victory under the cover of interna-
tional bimetallism and soon as the
election was over, threw t'lf the im;:k
and came cut for the gold standard
Many of the democratic papers which
had supported the ticket, and all of the
democratic papers which had deserted
the party in that year, counseled the
party to accept a decision, won by
fraud, as conclusive of the question.
And for four years the leading demo-
cratic dailies gave no assistance what-
ever to the democratic party in its
fight against the money power.
in the campaign of 1900 the repub-
lican party practiced another fraud
upon the people on the subejet of im-
perialism, and now Mr. Watterson and
a few other democratic editors advise
the acceptance of the republican posi-
tion on that question.
On the trust question the republican
party also practiced deception, and
some of our democratic papers seem
willing to concede the triumph of the
trust principle.
Nothing is to be gained from a party
standpoint, and everything is to be lost
from the standpoint of principle by
Mr. Watterson's method of dealing
with the questions at issue. He ex-
pects the democratic party to indorse
the colonial system, and then promise
to send better carpet-baggers to Ma-
nila than the republicans have sent.
Such a course would make our party
a laughing stock.
No party is good enough to admin-
ister a colonial rsystem honestly and
for the benefit of the subjects. \ na-
tion that is selfish enough to want a
colony is too selfish to do justice by it,
and a party demoralized enough to in-
dorse a colonial system would be im-
ootent to administer it satisfactorily.
The Commoner is pained to see so
able and brilliant an editor as Mr.
Watterson unconsciously lend his in-
fluence to the republican party. Far
better that bis voice should command
a charge upon the republican strong-
holds than that it should call a retreat
in the midst of a battle which must de-
termine, not only the fate of this re-
public, but the fate of all republics
for years to come.
The St. Louis Chronicle is charging
that Mayor Weils was elected by fraud.
This is adding insult to injury. To
run seventeen thousand votes behind
the national ticket and then owe his
election to republican votes is bad
enough, without having a suspicion
cast upon his title.
One of the most humorous remarks I
of the decade is the one to the effect
that Philander Knox sacrifices a pri-
vate income of $50,000 a year as attor-
ney for the Carnegie interests to ac-
cept an $8,000 position in the presi-
dent's cabinet.
for its sins and shield itself behind the
pretense that it is working out the
will of the Almighty, and it is immoral
because it obliterates the distinction
between right and wrong. The repub-
lican argument is built upon the theo-
ry that wrong done upon a large scale
loses its evil character, and becomes
an integral part of God's plan. It is in
keeping with the tendency to call an
embezzler a Napoleon of finance, pro-
vided the amount embezzled is large.
Mr. Watterson has not in the past
been In the habit of defending his po-
sition with the philosophy which he
now employs. In former years he was
known as the special champion of "the
star-eyed Goddess of Reform." When
the democratic party went down to de-
feat, as it often did, he did not say:
"God moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform. He made protec-
tion and the republican party, and,
therefore, we must bow to both." On
the contrary, he raised the democratic
banner aloft and appealed time and
again to the intelligence of the Ameri-
can people. Neither has be been in the
habit of excusing the crimes of indi-
viduals by attributing them to divine
inspiration. When Governor Goebel
was assassinated Mr. Watterson did
not say: "God moves in a mysterious
way His wonders ty perform; He
prompted the assassin to kill! We
cannot understand His all-wise pur-
pose, but there we were, and here we
are, and i'lere is nothing to be done
about it."
Instead, he insisted that a murder
had teen committed and that the guil-
ty should be brought to justice.
When the Louisville and Nashville
railroad entered the arena oi politics,
ar.d began its work of corruption and
intimidation Mr. Watterson did not
s.iy: 'God moves in a mystvious way
His wonders to perform. This rail-
road company has sprung into exist-
ence and must be carrying out the pur-
poses of an all-wise Ruler."
Far from it! He insisted that the
railroad should keep out of politics;
and attend to the business for which it
was organized.
There is no more reason for throw-
ing upon the, Almighty the responsi-
bility for a war of conquest, and for an
imperial policy which burdens our na-
tion with a large army and suppresses
the aspirations of distant peoples for
self-government than there is to blame
Him because one Individual chooses to
kill another, or because a great cor-
poration attempts to control a state
government.
Questions must be decided by the ap-
plication of fixed and immutable prin-
ciples. Jefferson said: "I know of but
one code of morality for men. whether
acting singly or collectively;" and
Franklin expressed the same idea,
only in different language, when he
said: "Justice is as strictly due be-
tween neighbor nations as between
neighbor citizens. The highwayman is
as ranch a robber where he plunders in
a gang as when single, and the nation
that wages an unjust war is only u
great gang."
Perhaps the Sultan of Turkey will
agree to pay that JICO.'WIO on the day

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A Veteran ot tlie Civil W'ri 'fell* :tn In-
teresting Story.
EFFINGHAM, 111., April 22. (Spe-
cial).—Uriah S. Andriek is now 67
years of age. Mr. Andriek served
through the whole of the Civil War.
He was wounded, three times by ball,
and twice by bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 18C1, he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since
the close of the War however, Mr.
Andriek has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at a time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being
but a shadow of his former self He
commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills
on the 26th of last December, and on
Feb. 20th was again weighed, and
weighed 146 pounds. He says
"I have spent hundreds of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
26th of December last, I purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am
cured, and I am free from any pain.
My heart's action is completely re-
stored. I have not the slightest trace
of the Bright's Disease, and 1 can
sleep well all night. I was considered
a hopeless case by everybody, but to-

Kidney Pills. ^
"For the last sixteen years mv wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
Wrhen she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she com-
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman. Iipt pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and what they have done
for us that she has gone to Mr. Corn-
wall's Drug Store and bought them for
some of her friends for fear that if
they went themselves they might, make
a misNke and get something else."

in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis-
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.
