JOHN G. RANKIN,

WEDNESDAY MOM-IMS,
SETT. 2G, 1900.
&
amSz':"
Tornado insurance ought to be
popular with Galveston people
hereafter.
There is said to bean increased
European demand for American
iron and steel.
Senator Caffery, who was
nominated for president by the
Gold democrats, has declined.
There is no truth in the re-
ported consolidation of the West-
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
companies.
Is Mark Hanna going to fur-
nish the macadam for the middle
of the road? This is the burning
question in one wing of the pop-
ulist party.
The existence of the plague in
San Francisco, Cal., is certainly
sufficient cause for the main-
tenance of a strict quarantine
against that city.
The Census Bureau announces
that the population of Portland,
Oregon, is 90,426, as against 40,-
885 in 1890; an increase of 44,*
041, or 94.95^per cent.
It is worthy of special notice
that Barney Gibbs is keeping
decidedly quiet and shady dur-
ing the exoiting times which over-
spreads the country at this time
If China is really in earnest in
her Appeal for peace, her desire
can be gratified by a ready com
plianoewith the demands of the
allied powers. Nothing less will
secure it.
Mt
Punishment of the parties re-
sponsible for the murder and out
rages committed against her mis
rionaries is one of Germany's in-
dispensible demands to peace
negotiations with China.
TBI Austin Tribune is an able,
wall oonducted democratic jour
aal and richly merits the liberal
patronage it receives. Austin
has long needed a reliable dem
ocratic paper like the Tribune.
Editor Robinson of the Waco
21a>es«Herald accuses the Dallas
News with "doing what it can to
help Mac, Mark and Teddy over
th« rough places." Did Bro.
Robinson expect the News to do
otherwise.
The Portland Oregonian esti
mates this year's wheat crops of
Oregon and Washington at 35,*
000,000 bushels, with 6,000,000
bathels carryover, old-oropsur-
against,a total of 42,000,000
i, government returns.
Ons of the most surprising
faaturss of the storm at Angle*
too, says the Times, is the fact
tb*t the rice crop was not totally
destroyed. From all reports, and
from personal interviews with all
the growers, it Is learned that the
lots will not exceed fifty per cent,
of the entire crop, which proves
btjrood further doubt that rice is
•a absolutely sure crop In this
Motion. The cane crop was
damaged but slightly.
r her way from her home in
Australia to Europe to complete
tor musical education is a young
woman who claims to have a
voice of higher range than that
of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, and
consequently to be able to sing
• higher note than anybody in
'the world. She'is a Mies Bertha
Bird of Melbourne. 8be sings
several notes beyond Faltissimo
and ranges all five Cs.

People who are charging Bry
with wishing to reverse his
on the peace treaty
remember that, along
with the adoption of the treaty
he recommended the passage of
* resolution declaring that the
United States meant ultimately,

that such a resolution was

vote of the vioe presi-

8kki0us thoughts fob thinking
people.
From the B»Uimore Ban (Gold Dem.)
This year 1000 is the centen-
nial anniversary year of the first
election of Thomas Jefferson to
the Presidency, and by a sinister
coincidence it is the first Presi-
dential year in which the para-
mount issue is whether the Amer-
ican people shall make a radical
departure from the principles of
the declaration of Independence
and of the Constitution framed by
the fathers of the republic. Our
children's children will rejoice or
lament because of this decision.
If we elect McKinley the country
will be irrevocably committed to
the principles of imperialism, and
no mafyliving will be wise enough
to say in what part of Asia, Af-
rica or Europe the rising genera-
tion of Americans may not be
summoned by the tens of thous-
ands to fight and die for the flag
which Washington and the fath-
ers of the republic dedicated to
peace and "friendship with all
nations and entangling alliances
with none." It is for the Ameri-
can voter of to-day to count the
cost. It will be useless for t\eir
children when they come of age
to do so. Colonial empire will
invite a combination of foreign
powers to open fire on us when
their interests are involved. Our
conscripts of that day will have
to fight the battles in our distant
possessions. Let our working-
men think it all over between
now and November, and think of
of their little boys—the coming
men of 1915 and 1920. What sort
of country are they going to
leave for their sons if they vote
to imperialize it? Are they going
to so use their votes this year
that 15 years hence the new gen
eration of voters will say with
bitter, but vain, regret: "Ou
fathers ate of the sour grapes of
military glory and colonial em
pire building and their children'
teeth are set on edge."
