EXPANSION AND THE CONSTITUTION.

Tho exigencies of such a thing ae colonial government in the EaBtern Hemisphere never dawned ou the minds of thu founders of our government. Such ii thing ie not provided for in the document known as the "Constitution of the United States." This is a situation which the rabid expansionists have nev stopped to discuss or even think about. There are cases on record wlier the supreme tribunal of the nation hus ^iven way before the pressure of public sentiment, diseased though it. may have been. Thinking citizens of this country are opposed to the wild schemof Oriental eolonizacoionizwtion. Bui the oilier crowd flushed with victory, nnd unreasoning are making the most noise. With the pre- 'iit propositions carried into effectand we will see a portion of our territory subject to the rule of Conuri'86, and no power on e«rth to restrain or hold in check the most vicious management. Ennlnud'8 carpet bag government in Iniia produced a Warren Hastings, and the reconstruction period following the civil war gave to our own government Moses and a Chamberlain, with others equally obnoxious to all good citizens. The Constitution is a very reliable old document. It has fitted our needs well in the past, and will continue to do so if not tampered with, and bended to the too frequent whims of Jingoes and disturbers. Let us respect, the old document and not place it in jeopardy. Harpers Weekly, in a:i article last week thus euus up the situation in few words: "It is in th« aii that the constitution must not be permitted to stand in the way of expansion, and that even the

Declaration of independence must be considered antiquated. The Declaration is vital and will live, but the breaking down of the constitution, which is law, roust bring material injury to the country, whose bulwark it has been against the assaults of intrigue and of momentary popular passion. This will he one of the charges which the country must bear if the expasionists prevail. The republic will survive, but enerations of its citizens will be de prived of some of the great blessings which democracy has bestowed on us and our fathers, and will suffer the burdens of militarism and of heavy taxation, which, thus far, we have been spared."

THF. defeat of the bill providing for for the teaching of agriculture in the public schools is eminently proper. Such an idea could emanate only from an utter misconception of the purpose and scope of the common school. The system is already laboring under an immense burden of cheap "fads" placed upon it l-y narrow and one-ideaed "educators" auti this, they are pleased to call "progress." If it be progress, at least, it ie in a circle. The primary purpose of these schools i9 to provide an intellectual and moral training which will fit the child for the duties of citizenship—to make him a capable, useful member of society. It is to teach him to think and act for himself—to think and act justly and logically—not to load his mind with scientific facts which in the great majority of cases could be neither ornamental nor useful. Farming, nor any other business, can be successfully carried on without brains, but if elementary instruction be of the proper character the youth can choose his calling wisely and equip himself with the technical knowledge necessary to follow it successfully. Professional training cannot be provided for in elementary schools. The passage of sucli a law as recommended by the Governor would and should make a laughing stock of the Legislative that passes it.

THE taxpayers of Shelby county have risen to the importance of the occiiFsion and are asking the court to enjoin the county commissioners from carrying out bridge contracts, let without advertising for bids. To let without advertising, or to consider only the bids of favorites, is a very common business method of boards of commissioners and in many counties makes the office really "worth-having." It is surely time for the turning of tho historic worm, and for administering a wholesome lesson to such officials as flagrantly violate the law. The Shelby county episode simply emphasizes, the pressing necessity for the passage of stringent laws on this question.

A MAN'S own mouth is Bometimea the most terrible weapon he can have turned upon him. General Eagan is now realizing the truth of this.

THE new Senator from Indiana goes to his duties hea. ily handicapped by the publication of fuleome flattery showered upon him by unwie friends and over-enthu-iastic admirers. it would be indued difficult to fulfill these expectations if they are mere than empty words. If siucere, there is little of nood taste in them if not then they are, indeed, che and foolish. One editor graveiy relates ho»v young Beveridge icade nis way through college by winning prizes. This would be amusing if it were not sad. A casual glBnce at the DePauw year-book reveals the fact that had he won al! the prizes offered during his entire college course they could not have supported the proverbial church mouse. But that's simply a pretty etory! It is the commonest of common things for young men with more ambition than money, to work and "starve" their way through our Indiana colleges. All men may not' be Senators, nor all Senators be truly —great! Might not things be well cal ed by names true, and not unduly praised?

JOHN C. WINGATE has proven himself to be a power of no small proportions in the Republican politics of Indiana. Mr. Wingate is a cl"an politician, and therefore oae of the rare fellows. The NEW REVIEW congratulates him on the efficiency of|his work in the Legislature in swaying things his way. It was an open and pretty campnign, as one of the editors of this paper can testify from observation at the Capital during the period before the caucu -. We have known Mr. Wingate a long time, and have found him in local politics a very hard man to head off. We respect him as a citizen and admire hi* hard and faithful work for his friends, but we do not like his goldbugg'iry and Ins pro clivities toward expansion, and therefore politically the paths sevrr. We admire a bra»re, earnest, honest lighter, wuerev.T i\e find him.

THE need of reform in the administration of township and county affairs is being urged upon the Legislature. Both parties are committed to it, and it remains to be seen whether the Republican majority will redeem the party pledge. Considerable pressure is b«mg brouuht to bear upon certaiu members by interested parties. The amount, of hesitancy displayed seems to indicate that by "reform" the party meant only the defeat of the wicked democrats. The manifest inadequacy of the present system to meet the demands of the times and its notoriously lax administration have become matters of general comment and the call for new and better methods is universal. It is not a party question but one which belongs to the people as a whole and aB such it should receive careful and considerate attention from the law-making body.

THE indications are that our "Pacific interests" will demand mucn attention in the near luture. Germany has been watching our operations with an ex ceedingly unfriendly oye, and her attitude in Samoa, to-day, is threatening if not positively hostile. The question of the legal occupant of the throne at Apia will probably be settled without serious difficulty, but it is one of those incidents which tend to cause iiritation and engender animosity. When a serious conflict of interests occurs, an amicable adjustment will be rendered far more difficult because of this affair.

MRS. MARTHA HUGHES CANNON was given one vote in the Utah Legislature of which she is a member, for United States Senator Senator. She is a Mormon and a polygamist. Mr. Roberts in the House and Mrs. Cannon in the Senate! Bring on the Malay froir. tte Philippines, the gentleman from Hawaii with his nose and ear rings, the representative from Gaum, the wild man from Fiji and the aggregation will be a winner.

ACCORDING to General Woods tho cost of imperialism is great. He estimates that not more than 45 per cent, of the American army in Cuba can be made capable of efficient, aggressive action at anytime on account of malaria. This statement coming from the source it does, should cause the average American to stop and think that we may after all be "paying too much for our whistle."' Will it pay? is a question always pertinent.

THE Stoner-Cregor contest for the joint-senatorship of Rush, Madison and Hancock counties revealed a sad state of political morala in Rush, Voters were actually bought for from five to seven dollars. It is said that members of the election committee were much surprised, pained and grieved at the shameless revelations made. Wicked Rush county! This is painful, indeed!

THE missionary methods employed by Charlemagne among the ivage Saxons have always found much favor among the descendants. Its efficacy has been proven by centuries of use as a civilizer. Shall we benificently offer the Filipino a cheice between a Mauser bullet or a baptismal hath and white shirt?

DOES "expansion" mean a growth of population, of wealth, of civilization, of all material and moral things, or merely an expansion of our territory, of our navy, our army, our taxes, our debts, and of all responsibilities?

REPUBLICANS OF 1896.

Many Voted For MeKlnler Belltvla* Hint Blmetalllat.

Whatever the purpose may have been it is within the memory of all that through its press, its campaign documents and its public speakers the Republican party did advocate bimetallism in every state of the Union all through that campaign of 1896. with a large measure of double dealing, we grant, touching it very lightly in the east, but urging it with extreme vigor and emphasis in the south and west. In the latter sections they claimed to be better bimetallists than Mr. Bryan and his followers were, because, as they insisted. they were in favor of bimetallism in a rational and practical way—namely. by joint action with other countries —while the Democrats, Silver Republicans and Populists reiterated that Mr. MoKinley was a true bimetallism a better friend of silver than Mr. Bryan was, and in the far west especially his congressional record and speeches were invoked to prove it.

There can be no doubt that large numbers of Republicans with silver leanings voted for Mr. McKinley firm in the conviction that the cause of bimetallism would be safe in his hands. The leaders of the opposition contended at the time that the Republican declaration in favor of free coinage by international agreement was merely a cunning device to deceive and defraud the American voter. Events have since absolutely proved the truth of this contention. Time and again during that campaign Mr. McKinley declared himself a bimetallist and in favor of keeping in circulation all of the currency which we then had, and yet one of his first official acts was to name as secretary of tho treasury a pronounced and uncompromising advocate of the gold standard, whose official policy has at all times been to 'commit the country more thoroughly to the gold standard," to retire from circulation all United States paper currency and substitute national bank notes.

LIBERTY AT STAKE.

Tlie Time Has Come When Every True Democrat Must Act.

We are in a crisis. The liberties of a mighty people are at stake. There is no neutral ground trimming and trading can no longer be tolerated. The world demands earnestness and candor. I do not believe in the black flag give every honorable enemy quarter. But we have a sacred black motto which we must keep to the front, and that is, "Woe unto him who trifles with the confidence of the American Democracy. Grover Cleveland is dead, and he left no friends to whom to send the obituary notices. Scores of wabbling statesmen are today looking through the fence into the graveyard for a burial place, because they were hit by the wrath of a deceived people. Each age furnishes a weapon for the people. The weapon for this age is initiative and referendum. Through it we can restore Democracy.

Then fill our people with the spirit of Andrrw Jackson, and the corruption of Hamiltonism, as well as the hypocrisy of McKinleyism, will no longer threaten or disgrace our land.

Why do we honor the memory of Jackson? He was not a great scholar, not a great orator, not a great publicist, not a great military man, and yet he stands like a mighty rock in the ocean towering high in air, while thousands of holars, orators, publicists, generala and .statesmen who have come since his time are lost in oblivion. It is because of his character. Amid temptation and threats of destruction he fixed his eye on the star of justice, shook his fist in the face of power and delivered the American people. This country needs more Andrew Jacksons—and the people believe that they have found one in William Bryan.—J. P. Altgeld's Jackson Day Speech at Omaha.

SILVER NIGHT SCHOOL.

Organize I We want a silver night Bchool in every precinct in the United States. Organize a school and send foi lesson leaflets. What has been done can D6 done. Four young men organized in one township and agreed to hold a session in every schoolhouse in the township and incidentally to nominate and elect a safe Silver Democratic ticket at the spring election.

Example.—In 1873, when wheat was worth $1.81 in the United States, what was it worth in the money of India and what was it worth in Indian money in 1893 when worth 6J cents in the United States? Both countries are exporters of wheat, transportation to European markets being about the same. In 1873 the exchange was 61 per cent. In 1898 the exchange *as .241— i. e., the Indian rupee was worth but little over .241 in our money.

Answer.—187.3, rupees per bushel 1893, 2 3-5 rupees per bushel, or $1.82 in our money (silver).

The disadvantage to American wheat raisers is apparent. The example may be easily explained to the school by any one familiar with the rules of computing exchange. Problems are also given in the lesson leaflets to show the disastrous effects of low prices in producing business failures, foreclosures and hard times.

Making ConcessionH to Decency.

The days of the political millennium are evidently approaching when we sei what is going on in the legislatures o. Pennsylvania anT Delaware. In th. former state the Democrats are offering to help the honest Republicans to beat Quay, and they were willing even to go the length of voting for a Republican like Wanamaker. In Delaware the honest Republicans are trying to prevent the election of Addicts. And in this case the most feasible way to beat Addicts is by the election of Senator Gray, a Democrat —Utica Observer.
