Many of the papers are referring to

la Addlag TwiUsrr t# Oar Wsrisss We

Joy*4 The Tree Staiee et the rhUie-
The fact that the Inhabitant! of the
Danish islands have protested against
the sale of the Ulands to the United
Statea and have demanded that the
question be submitted to the people be-
fore final action is taken, la a tad com-
mentary upon this nation. That wa
should have so conducted ourselves as
to make rear neighbors prefer to be
subjects of a king rather than rlak the
protection of their rights under the
American flag Is the most serious re-
flection that haa recently been cast
upon our government, and yet we have
deserved the reproach.
We found the Porto Ricans enjoying
representation In the Spanish legisla-
ture. but, although they welcomed our
armies with Joy, we have denied to
them the privileges which they had
under a king. No wonder the Inhabi-
tants of the Danish tales look with sus-
picion upon our efforts to secure title
to them. Those who represent the
United States In the negotiations that
have taken place ought to have made a
petition and a protest unnecessary. It
ought to have been announced in the
beginning that under no condition
would the Danish Isles be accepted by
the United States even as a gift with-
out tha consent and approval of the In-
habitants. We are not ao much In
need of territory that we should disre-
gard the will of the people Inhabiting
those Islands, even though a distant
king were willing to dispose of them
without consulting the people.
Are we not losing the moral prestige
(hat we once possessed when we bar-
gain for people as we would bargain
for merchandise, and then find tha(
they prefer to live under another flag?
Weylertea la the Philippines.
The American peopla have been
greatly stirred recently by the an-
nouncement of Gen. Bell's reconcentra-
tlon order to apply to tba Philippines.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle, speaking of this
order, saya: ''Its frank admlsalon of in-
tention to Impose penalties upon Inno-
cent women and children and Ita en-
couragement to subordinate officer*
and others to arreat non-combatants
upon mere suspicion has excited in-
tense Indignation.” The aame corre-
spondent quotes Senator Hoar as hav-
ing made a dignified, manly and vigor-
ous protest against this wickedness.
Senator Hoar said: “The people will
sooner or later awaken to the atroci-
ties that are being committed in the
name of liberty. They will soon un-
derstand that there la no difference be-
tween Weylerism under the stars and
stripes in the Philippines and Weyler-
ism under the Spanish flag In Cuba.
Weylerism has been practiced In Cuba
In various forms for years before the
conscience of the American people fi-
nally revolted against It Now, how-
ever. that we understand what It
means that aame conscience will oper-
ate more quickly, but with equal cer-
tainty In behalf of the Filipinos who
are being herded in reconcentration
camps.”
Oar Duty Toward Cabo.
Our duty now Is to ourselves—to ob-
tain some sort of compensation for
our sacrifices by securing closer com-
mercial relations, through reciprocity
or absolute freedom of trade, with
Cuba, with the incidental result of re-
taining and Increasing the friendly
feeling the Cuban people hav* for
us. We cannot, consistent with our
professions, scheme to make Cuba de-
sire annexation by maintaining obsta-
cles to trade relation* with the Idea
that It will drive her Into our arms.
This Is an event which. If It come at
all, should come without compulsion.
**Bi sea awisatl—'■
The reorganisers, who are nothing
more nor less than the gold standard
Democrats of 1896 and 1900, are getting
together, and will renew their attack
oa Domorrcy In comlug campaigns un-
der a different head. Their war cry
will be “harmony.” and again In 1904
they may defeat the Democratic party.
This la aM they can hope to accom-
pli ih. The Chicago platform will suc-
ceed Itself, suit the Democratic party
waata no belter constitution for Its
orgffhlutlon than this document fur-
nishes.
Aa Kieslee et the Lew.
It la probable that President Roose-
velt will have an opportunity to show
hts civil service backbone by vetoing
the permanent census bureau bill. As
It Is going through It la simply a
scheme to put a lot of temporary em-
ployee, who got their situations
through congressional favoritism, Into
the classified service, and In permanent
positions. No mors strikin'? evasion
of civil service principle* has ever been
attempted.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
The Oely BssiisMi Cesses.
Cuban Independence can ba made
permanent by giving Cuban Industry
tha stimulus that It will receive from a
market for Ita products. We have the
market. If we keep It cloeed we ehall
forte the Island Into bankruptcy and
Into a surrender of Independence. Wo
shall then have no course open but to
take the Island, and our war of pacifi-
cation and philanthropy will be aeen
by all to have been a war of selfish-
ness, conquest and dishonor.
Terey Selatoat's Defeat.
The New York World It authority
for the statement that It cost Perry Bel-
mont $80,000 to learn that the people
did not wish him to represent them In
congress. We are glad he was de-
feated and wish that all such mDrepre-
eentatlves of the party who can spend
a like sum for a ten thousand two-
year term will meet the same fate.
Democracy would not gain anything
by being responsible for his shortcom-
ings and lavish expenditures.
We Know Who Wrote Fioeeelsl Plonk.
Mr. Hanna, writing some anecdotes
of Mr. McKinley, says that Mr. Mc-
Kinley wrote a memorandum that aft-
erwards became the financial plank of
the St. Is>uia platform. It will be re-
membered that Immediately after that
convention Mr. Hanna gave out an In-
terview in which he said that "the fi-
nancial plank was approved by me."
This should be sufficient to settle the
controversy about the authorship of
the plank.
A Capitalistic Vlt*.
Mr. Baer, president of the Reading
railway, haa been talking to some col-
lege students. He finds fault with the
doctrine that "all men are created
equal” and condemns "the loud
mouthed, laxy teachers of communism
and the fomentors of strife and dis-
cord” who hold to these old fashioned
Ideas. Watered stock Beems to have as
bad an Influence on the conscience of
corporation magnates as It has on In-
dustry.
Fleeced at Belaost'* Defeat
Mr. Belmont's success in finally ob-
taining recognition as the regular
Democratic candidate, was also won by
methods too obvious to be mysterious.
The election proved, however, that the
voters of the seventh district preferred
a Republican representative to a Dem-
ocrat of Mr. Belmont’s stripe. He was
defeated by 394 majority. There are
many things that money can do, bul
there are yet some things It cannot do.
The Liberty Belt
Would it be considered traitorous to
suggest that we send the Liberty Bell
over to the Philippine islands so that
the natives could gase upon it? If the
Declaration of Independence Is an "in-
cendiary document,” aa Joa. Ohl says
a United States army officer declared,
then our beneficent asslmllators would
most likely regard the Liberty Bell as
the fire-alarm of anarchy.
It Is related of King Charles IX. *f
Francs that having aaaperted oa* ot
his conks of otaaltng two stiver spoons,
ho rooolved to try tho effort of hoawar,
whieh at that time was highly recom-
mended aa aa aatldoto to poison*, go,
thiaklag a good opportunity had ar-
lived for tooting Ita properties, hit
majesty administered to the unfortu-
nate cook drat a large doe* of corro-
sive subltasat* and then a done of tho
reputed aatldoto: bat the unlucky man
fell a victim to tke oaporlmeat and
died In great agony la eevon hours, la
tpit* of otbor efforts to save him.
llrlw Thai Woo Bet Wants*.
"Ah. will I sever be released?”
walled the Imprlaonad heroine, beatlaff
her fair white hands wildly against the
l>ars of her window, while from behind
the scenes could bo hoard the hoarao
chuckle of the villain. Many la tha
audience were seen to apply their
handkerchiefs to their eye*. Her pray-
er* for release rang again upon tba
still air and loat themselvss la the
echoing film above. "Cither git a
kabbyus corpus, toddy,” shouted a
friend from the gallery, "or walk out
over de footlights." Aad the curtain
cam* down with a whits.
Aaetber Kan Altogether.

a molt remarkable physical change la

He had not beta feeling well for
com* time and suspecting that the
trouble ram* from his kidneys, which
be knew were not nay too strong, bo
determined to try a kidney medicine.
Dodd'a Kidney Pills were highly
recommended aad Mr. Nelson began
a treatment of them. He was reward-
ed by a complete restoration to vigor-
ous good health. He says:
"I used six boxes of Dodd'a Kidney
Pills and they have helped me a great
deal. I feel like another man and can
recommend Dodd'i Kidney Pilla very
highly.”
