Tliu conference hfld at Saratoga to
consider tin * future foreign policy of the
United States , with particular reference
to conquered territory , while not ex
plicitly declaring opposition to terri
torial ncquNltlon , did so In oflWt. The
resolutions say that the i < eopl of the
surrendered I lands should bo treated
as temporarily the wards of the nation ,
that we should not be justified in re
turning the couqueted territory to ml -
rule and oppression and that as f > eon as
the Islands under our present protection
can be trti ted to govern themselves
they should be allowed to do M , the
United .States retaining under Its au
thority only necessary naval station1 ! . It
Is further declared tlmt until huch tlmt
as they may be able to govern themselves -
selves the e Islands should contlnui *
under the protection of the United
States , the question of their annexation ,
at some period and at the mutual desire
of both , to be left to the time when It
arises.
Theie N nothing objectionable In thee
proposition * . They will be assented to
by all that i > ortlon of the American people
ple who are not in favor of the policy
of imperialism. No one ha * thought of
giving back any territory that has fallen
under the control of the United States
to mist tile and oppression. No one
doubts that it is tli - duty of this nation to
give protection to the people who have
been relieved of SpanWi domination. In
the c.iMof f'ubd wc shall maintain a
military occupation of the island until It
is completely pat-llk-d and the people
have been given a fair and full opi > oi-
tunlty to form and put In operation an
Independent government. We have as
sumed the responsibility of giving Cuba
peace and freedom and we shall be jus
tified In adopting whatever course .shall
be found necessary to fulfil this self-
Imposed obligation. In regard to so
much of the Philippines as Is under
American control the same policy will
apply. We have become responsible for
the preservation there of peace and
order and the protection of life and
property and we must do our whole duty
In this lespect But we have not placed
ourselves tinder an obligation to the
whole Philippine population , a part of
which has never acknouledged the con
trol of Spain , nor are we called upon
by any consideration of ju ticc or moral
ity to assume the task , ns the declara
tion of the conference
Implies
, of en
abling all these people to test their ca
pacity for self-government. Such of
them as are under our present protec- '
tlon certainly should be given oppor
tunlty to show whether
or not they are
able to govern themselves but It will
liardly be seriously contended that it is
the proper mKsion of the United States
to undertake to do this for. all the peo-
pie of the Philippines , including the
large number who are only semi-civil
ized. Yet If we should Insist
upon re
taining possession of the Philippines we
should be bound not only to protect all
Its people , but sooner or later to allow
them to test their capacity for self-
government Can any one doubt that
we should
encounter very grave troubles
and dirulties In the meanwhile ?
It is to be regretted that the Saratoga
conference did not make a distinct and
explicit declaration in opposition to ter
ritorial acquisition. What It did declare
is well enough as far as It goes , but
the paramount subject It
met to consider -
sider Is one which
calls for plain speak-
lag.
THK I'KACB COJ/J//SS/O.V.
The peace protocol provides that the
commissioners to negotiate a treaty of
peace between the United States and
Spain shall meet In Paris not later than
October 1. The president therefore has
ample time in which
to select the com
missioners on the part of the United
States , two of which Secretary Day
and Senator Davis have already been
selected. It is needless to say that Mr.
McKinley desires for this most Impor
tant sen-Ice men of the highest ability
and character , who will not only have
the confidence of the American people ,
but will also command the respect of
European statesmen. There is no dlf-
flculty In finding such men , the perplex
ing point , if there is any , being In mak
ing n choice
where there arc so many
available. , Thls would really bo simpler
If the number of commissioners -ncre
twenty instead of five. The appoint
ments of Secretary Day and Senator
Da\in , who Is chairman of the senate
foreign relations committee , have met
with unqualified public approval and It
is safe to say the other appointments
will be satisfactory to the country. It
has been suggested that the president
may bo Influenced as to some members
of the commission by political considera
tions , but we do not believe that poll-
tics will play any part In the matter.
As the home organ of Mr. McKinley
says , the only thing he Is likely to con-
slder Is whether the
men he selects agree
with his views concerning the questions
to be settled and if they are able and
conscientious. No one understands bet
ter than the president the nature of the
work which the commission will have
to do and ho will choose men whom ho
deems to be fully qualified for the work.
Meanwhile some Idea is being given , If
reports from Madrid can be depended
upon , of the poswible difllcultles which
the American
commissioners may en
counter. According to these reports the
Madrid government contemplates
sev
eral fnoves , the tendency of which would
be to embarrass and
delay the peace ne
gotiations. It Is said that Spain will
adopt this course In the hope of secur
ing Influence In her behalf , particularly
In regard to disposing of the Philippines ,
of some of the European lowers. It Is
also stated that she -will urge some concession -
cession on the part of the United States
respecting the Cuban debt , a mutter concerning -
corning which the Spanish government
seems to feel almost us much solicitude
as it does In regard to the Philippines.
Perhaps there Is some ground for the
statements emanating from Madrid , but
in any event the American commission-
era undoubtedly will go to Paris fully
Instructed us to the position of the gov
ernment on every vital question and this
position will doubtleu bo made known
Terjr aooa after tk % commlwloa meet * .
It l also moot probable that Spain will
nctlri learn that the demands of tli
I'tilted States will be adhered to , re-
sardle.ss of European Influence If any
should be attempted , which Is Improb
able.

According to the most approved an-
thoritlc , democracy 1 defined to be
tiie rule of the people as oj i o ed to
the rule of one or of the few. AccordIng -
Ing to the definition of the total gang
of cheap iiolltlclans who have taken
upon theui-elves the guidance of the
democratic party In this county , de
mocracy Is the rule of the machine and
they are the machine.
In order to circumvent the will of the
rank ' and file of their party , and make
sure that their control of the pa try or
ganization is not disturbed , the > o wlf-
constituted leaders a few weeks ago
apiwiutcd thennelves delegates to the
democratic state convention , doing away
entirely with the customary primaries
by which the wishes of the party are
a-cei tallied if not cairled out. While
this undemocratic procedure has lu the
* t had the stamp of approval from
even a democrat of so high rank as
William Jennings Bryan hiin-elT , it has
always been regnidvd as a breach of
the basic principle of democracy and
ha neier been Indulged except with
ptofu-e c\cu es and laltorcd apologies.
Now , however , the same set of ma
chine drivers have for a .second time
w thin one laonth apjtoluted them elve.s
to represent the rank and file of the
democratic party without so much as
"by your leave" this time to constitute
the convention that Is to put In nomina
tion the popocratlc candidate for con
gress in this , the Second district. So
far as the nominating convention Is con
cerned , it is but a hollow formality at
best , because its nominee Is fote-
doouied to disastrous defeat , even If
there were no ready-made shite that
lacks only the olliclal endorsement of
the democratic name.
This flagrant and defiant disregard of
democratic principles and the mauife t
distrust of the democratic voters can
not fall to disgust those who have
affiliated with the local democracy because -
cause of belief in democratic tenets.
As well , instead of uch a farce , have
done away entirely with the nominating
convention and have the congressional
candidate named and certified by the
members of the machine's committee.
So fur as democracy Is concerned the
promulgation of the whole democratic
ticket by one usurping dictator would
le just as democratic as the
that Is being pursued.
T11K HWKLUZO TIDE.
It is apparent to every intelligent ob
server that the full swell of the title
toward the exposition has now feet in.
A hundred and one signs all go to In
dicate one and the same thing.
From now on the attendance nt the
great exhibition of trausmlsslsslppi re
sources and products will be nioio
largely composed of people who come tq
make a careful study of the wonderful
display.
The farmers and producers of the
western states who have deferred their
visits until their absence from home
would not Interfere with the work In
the fields will find In the exposition the
first full realization of their own pro
ductive power. This was one of the
original objects of the projectors , and
It can not fail to have a most whole
some effect.
A second object of the exposition ,
namely , to impress upon visitors iron )
more distant points the promise held
forth by the transmississlppi region as
a field for profitable Investment , must
from now on come more In the fore
ground. As a factor In the upbuilding
of the western states , the exposition Is
bound to be felt long after the gates
shall have been closed and the last ves
tiges of the beautiful buildings disap
peared.
Already the exposition has drawn the
attention of hundreds of thousands to
the west who would otherwise have re
mained In Ignorance of its unexampled
energies and maKiiIHcent possibilities.
As knowledge gained from personal In
spection always counts for most , In
bringing eaMcin people into the heart
of the traiismisslssippi country lies the
exposition's greatest power for per
manent good.
The dwell of the tide toward the ex
position emphasizes anew the respons ) .
billties resting ui on the people of tills
city and state to provide for the visiting
guests and make sure that they do not
go away disappointed. Omaha Is fully
awake to the situation and Its citizens
may be rolled on to do their whole duty.
The veracious Lincoln annex of the
Omaha popocrntlc organ published un
der the name of the State Journal and
poking as a republican paper Is endeav
oring with Its usual mendacity to make
republicans bellcvo that the editor or
The Uec had attempted to Infilct W. O.
Whltmore as chairman upon the repub
lican state committee at Its recent meet
ing. Just what purpose is back of this
fabrication Is not apparent , but the In
controvertible fact Is that the only rec
ommendation of Mr. Whltmore was con
tained in a letter written by John 1 .
Webster , whoso suggestion seems to
have encountered an Iceberg in the
midst of midsummer heat. Mr. Hose-
water wrote no letters In behalf of Mr.
Wbltnioro or any other candidate for
state chairman , that choice having been
properly left by the convention , to the
nominees of the party .on the state
ticket.
You can catch more flies with mo-

railroads are guided almost wholly by
self-interests. They can and must be
convinced that the caost liberal policy
toward the exposition means most In
the long run for the railroads them
selves. Mont of the railroad men

that will do for the present campaigner
or not remains to be. seen after investi

Another state that desires to join the

are no western states dlsjiosed to re

and all aie welcome in the big parade.
Over 5,000 people from Illinois registered -
tered at the Illinois state building iluco
the opening of the exposition and prob
ably many more than that number In
attendance who have not taken the
trouble to register. This looks as if
several people In Illinois must have read
of the Omaha exposition in the news
paper press of that state.
Every new-paper in Chicago without
exception is enthusiastic over the pro
posed peace demonstration In the
World's fair city. What is to be
thought of the Omaha organ that out
of personal or partisan narrowness Is
trying to smother the great national
peace jubilee to be held at the Omaha
exposition in October ?

Cheap Wheat Webster will be the
opposing candidate to William V.
Allen for United States Senator. It
would seem to be a clear declaration of
hostility to the farming Interests of the
state when a man entertaining such sen
timents Is agreed upon. The farmers and
nil merchants whoso
prosperity depends on
the farmers ought to see the danger to their
Interests by the election of a man who be
lieves that cheap products is the best for
farmers.

The desire of the volunteers In service Is
now to be mustered out as soon as possible.
That they should feel so Is gratifying ,
since the country Is In no danger from a
large and Idle army at the close of a war

to the occupations of peace. While the vol
unteer force will , bo immediately reduced ,
It does not follow , however , that all of the

they ned make no apology. All are gooJ ,
clean capable men and the reins of govern
ment fill be absolutely cafe in their hinds.
O'.Velll Frontier ( rep , ) ' "M. L. Hayward
of Nebraska City > one of the ablest and
cleanrst men who has iy-n nominated for
Korernor of Nebraska and Is ure to be
elected , " remarked a prominent Douglas
county democrat last Thursday. Opinion
of thla kind make * xorurnorg.
Tekaruah Herald ( rep ) : Nebraska repub
licans have reason to congratulate them
' selves for the exceptionally strong ticket
nomfnated last week. They are all well
qualified to fill the respective offices for
which they have * * nominal * ! . Th-y are
each and all men ot high standing and of
known Integrity and character.
Friend Telegraph ( rep ) : The nomination
of Hen. M. L. Hayward for governor of
Nebraska by the" Republicans Is giving gen
eral satisfaction. Speaking from a Mate
standpoint the republicans appear at laxt
to be coralns to their senses. Judge Hayward
is an old soldier with an honorable record
and a man probably nearer tbo people as
any one that could be placed on the ticket
this fall.
Wa > ne Herald ( rep. ) : The republican
party nominated no "yellow dogs" this
> ear , but clean , able , upright men that
will command the respect of every lojal
citizen of Nebraska , men eminently fitted
for the offlccs to which they now aspire ,
since being nominated , men who are thor
oughly In accord with the magnificent ad
ministration of President McKinley and
they desire to be and will be elected.
Ord Quiz ( rep. ) : The Omaha Dee Is giv
ing the republican ticket unqualified sup
port. People who do not like The Bee may
sneer at this , but the fact remains that its
support means a good many -votes for the
party. And the further fact remains that
The Bee has not been wrong very often
when it refused to support , men who had
been named by the republicans. All things
point toward republican victory this fall.
Tecumseh Chieftain ( rep. ) : The repub
lican elate ticket meets the hearty approval
of the rank and file of the party in all parti
of the state. It is a representative ticket ,
composed of practical , capable- business men
of established integrity and it is sure to
receive a very generous support. We do
not underrate the strength of the futlonlsts
when we say that we believe the republican
ticket has flattering chances of success at
the polls in November.
Pierce Call ( rep. ) : Every candidate nom
inated by the republicans at the state con-
vcntlon last week Is clean and unobjectlon-
able men whom the people in the localities
where they live have highly honored re
gardless of party. Judge Hayward was
nominated in response to a universal de
mand from all parts of the state. He is the
people's choice. The rest of the ticket is
made up of thoroughly competent and hon
orable men who will give the state a businesslike
ness-like administration.
Pcndcr Republic ( rep. ) : The republican
candidates on the state ticket are all men
with exceptionally clean and able records
and Just such men as may be expected to
conduct the affairs of state in a business
like manner. It is not composed of incom-
patents , but men of ability who have made
a success In their business ll\es and have
thus demonstrated their ability to attend to
the state's business affairs which they un
doubtedly will do after the first week in
January , 1S&0.
Stanton Pickctt ( rep. ) : The republican
state ticket is one o\er which any loyal
citizen , be he republican , democrat or pop
ulist , can enthuse with the utmost propri
ety. There Is not a politician or chronic
office seeker among the number. There is
not a man on the list from governor down
against whom a word can truthfully be
said. The men are well distributed over the
state and are wide awake , impressive gen
tlemen who ought to make an aggressi\e
campaign and considering the facts that
none of them will be placed on the de
fensive , that the country is prosperous and
with the records made by the fusion candi
dates to weigh them down it should be an
effectual and winning campaign.
Ord Quiz ( rep. ) : Hear any man talk
about Mortensen for * state treasurer , no
matter what the man's politics are , and he
will say that there Is no doubt about the
money of the state being in safe hands If
Mr. Mortensen is elected. More than one
of the leaders of the populist party here
have said the same thing. Since 1S75when
he was chosen county treasurer , he has
been in positions of trust and the high
est responsibility , and all his acts have
been abate question. Tbero is nothing in
the state treasur > sbip that can turn his
head or tempt him to trifle with the great
responsibility that the people will place in
him by electing him to that place. He
has ever } thing to lose and nothing to gain
by going wrong , and those who know him
know he will do bis duty right and to the
letter.
Holdrcge Citizen ( rep. ) : A wjek has
passed since the republican state conven
tion at Lincoln put up their strong ticket.
The convention was enthusiastic and It did
excellent work In putting up a ticket with
no weak men on it. Judge Hayward , who
heads the ticket. Is a clean , capable man ,
who has a record anyone could be proud of.
He did not seek the nomination , but the
people of the state wanted him and ho had
such an overwhelming majority of the dele
gation that before the flrst ballot was com
pleted Judge Baker , his contestant for the
nomination , moved to suspend the rules and
nominate htm by acclamation. The ticket
Is not composed of politicians and oluco
seekers , but of men who were carefully se
lected because of their fitness for the vari
ous position * ) . The republican * enter the
campaign with harmony In their ranks and
they will nuiko " an aggressive fight all along
"
the line.
Nlobrara Tribune ( rep. ) : So far as nomi
nated the Tribune presents to Its readers
this week , at the head of the editorial col
umn , the republican state , county and
township ticket , and Invites the careful In
spection and consideration of that ticket
by all. It Is composed of clean , able and
progressive men from start to finish , and
there Is not a man thereon but whom holds
aloft the banner of republicanism and has
never yet let It trail In the dust. It is
a ticket calculated to disconcert the com
bined forces of fusion and to turn their
boasted victories of the last few years Into
utter rout and defeat. Not since the mem
ory of man runneth back In Nebraska pol
itics has an abler or better ticket been
placed In the field , asking for the suffrage )
of the people of this commonwealth. The
republicans of the state of Nebraska ask
no apologies and Invite the severest criti
cism of their opponents.
Osmond Republican : Judge Hayward wa *
the choice of the convention held at Lin-
coin. Never did there more harmony pre
vail and never In the history of the state
was there a cleaner ticket put up. Every
republican was enthusiastic over Mr. Hayward -
ward for governor and his nomination was
as certain as was Mr. McKlnley's in 1896.
Mr. Hayward 1 * an Ideal candidate and
will make a model governor. The other
candidates belong to the same class , are
honorable , honoat and efficient men , The
republicans need such a ticket and with It
they can carry the state without a doubt.

It takes all kinds of people to make up th
world , they say.
And I've met a mighty lot of different spc
cies In my day-
All with their various hobbles and their
politics and creeds ,
The things that poison one may be Just
what some other needs :
One man'll claim jou can't be saved unless
you've been Inynerwd ,
While the next one says of all the foolish
doctrines , that's the worst
What one man likes another scorns , thai
seems to be the rule.
And the chap that tries to please 'cm all I *
Just a common fool.
Some folks can't stand the climate here and
want to mox e away ,
\Vhllo others think it's lovely or , at least ,
that's what they say ;
One man'll read a story and he'll spill hit
sides and roar.
While the next one mebby'll say he ncvei
see such rot before ;
Some people BO to meetln' every Sunday ,
rain or clear.
While other fellers hardly hear a sermon
once a year
What one man likes his neighbor has no
une for , as a rule.
And the man that tries to please 'em all 13
just a common fool.

Last week they kicked me out and said I

I guess that ever } ' other man is cranky , as
