The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... SEPTEMBER 6, 1900. JAMES CARSON NEEDHAM. It will not be disputed that Congressman Needham of this district, who was nominated by acclamation for Congress at the Coronado Beach convention, has given a faithful account of his stewardship during his two years' term in the House of Representatives. The people of the district have the word of no less a gentleman than Speaker Henderson, who, in his recent visit to Southern California, spoke in terms of highest praise of him. Mr. Needham is now before the people asking their suffrages for re-election to the office. Look at those districts in the East whose Congressmen are returned to the national capital for years—look at Maine, with its comparatively small delegation, exercising more power than many of the more populous States combined. Here is an illustration of the good to follow the return of a faithful and energetic Congressman. Let not the example be wasted upon us in this campaign. Mr. Needham has brought to the doors of many hundreds of residents of Orange county the great boon of free mail delivery. Before the end of the year a thousand farmers of Orange county will be in possession of this convenience. Do the people approve of these things—Democrats as well as Republicans? If they do, they should cast a ballot, not only in support of President McKinley's administration, which has made these things possible, but for James Carson Needham, the farmer's son of Stanislaus, who has brought these things to our doors. Let us give him a sample of our support by rolling up for him a big majority, as we assuredly shall. He has not overlooked the fact, while in Washington, that Orange county is in his district. Let us show him that we appreciate his work and roll up for him a big majority. A STUDY OF THE PROPHETS. Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance was carefully prepared and was intended to be a keynote for the present campaign. It is worthy of study as it is one of the most painstaking efforts ever issued by this new school of politics. Yet like all political utterances it is an ex parte statement composed of about equal parts of charges against the Republicans and promises of what the Democrats will do in the event of Bryan's election. The Democratic candidate is an natural rights of the Cubans and the Filipinos? Who will say that the former have a right to liberty and the latter have no rights we are bound to respect? Now had he asked those questions with reference to the negroes of Mississippi and North Carolina, the answer would have been easy for the white Democrats of those States who shoot, terrify and disfranchise the negro in open violation of the spirit and express words of the constitution of the United States. They can answer, as they are specialists in defining rights which they refuse to respect, and Mr. Bryan is the man who hopes to profit by their methods that disgrace the State which will send solid delegations to Congress by the suppression of the Republican vote. That part of Bryan's address, however, most open to criticism is when he defines the Philippine policy. When Aguinaldo learns of that utterance, he will continue his guerilla warfare against the American flag until after the November election and in the event of Bryan's triumph for eight months longer. Whatever may be the opinion of Congress in the matter, Bryan as the commander-in-chief of the army and navy could suspend hostilities and recall our forces. Indeed, he pledged to do that very thing. This is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In 1803 Jefferson paid Napoleon the Great $15,000,000 for Louisiana and the sale conveyed sovereignty over all the population both savage and civilized of that great territory and they were not asked consent to the transfer. Had they rebelled, they would have been forced to recognize the sovereignity of the United States. "The consent of the governed" was not taken in the account, and yet our title to the vast territory is considered valid. Sixteen years later the Unitarian Universalist Florida from Surrey. A Congressional district which changes its Representative at each recurring election has very little influence at Washington. Rarely is he appointed upon any committee of prominence. The leaders not knowing whether he will be returned or not, no important assignments are made to him. He is placed upon some obscure committee, and unless possessed of an indomitable will and is self-assertively aggressive, has a job on his hands to secure the eye of the speaker to the end that he may be useful to the people of his district. Let him be returned, however, with the assurance that he has, by faithful attention to the interests of his constituents, the people of his district behind him, and his influence immediately increases a hundredfold. His committee assignments are at once of far greater importance; he has the confidence of the party leaders, and his usefulness becomes tremendously increased. This is especially true if he be in line with the national administration in politics. A Democratic Congressman from this district would not have it in his power to carry to completion the many details of the work inaugurated by Mr. Needham for the betterment of this district. He would receive little if any consideration, first, by the Committee on Rivers and Harbors, which will have before it the work of improving San Diego bay and San Pedro harbor the dredging of the San Joaquin river, as well as the numerous other inlets and water ways indenting the coast and interior valleys. Again, the citrus, nut, raisin and other industries of this district need the watchful eye of a Congressman favorable to the protective tariff. In the hands of a free trader, coupled with the assault of the Democratic party upon the associations of the growers—the Southern California Fruit Exchange, the walnut association and dried fruit and raisin associations—these industries would inevitably suffer. It is the part of wisdom to return a protectionist to Congress for paramount business reasons. The possible overflow of the Santa Ana river (the largest water way in Southern California) in times of heavy rainfall must indubitably engross the attention of the people of this county. Mr. Needham knows the need of the people in this regard perfectly. The small sums of money expended in levees at and near the Olive bridge have been nothing more or less than so much money thrown away. The relief afforded is merely temporary. Each succeeding year of excessive rainfall sees the necessity for further work on the levees and Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance was carefully prepared and was intended to be a keynote for the present campaign. It is worthy of study as it is one of the most painstaking efforts ever issued by this new school of politics. Yet like all political utterances it is an ex parte statement composed of about equal parts of charges against the Republicans and promises of what the Democrats will do in the event of Bryan's election. The Democratic candidate is an experienced promoter and political prophet and both promises and prophesies are matters of record. He speaks also not only for himself alone, but for his party and his statements must be weighed by the actions of his party in the past. Four years ago he declared that the gold standard would make it necessary to advocate the closing of the public schools. (Monmouth, Ill., speech.) Today under the gold standard there are more schools and better ones than ever before. The prophesy was false. In his speech of acceptance he said: "Some argue that American rule in the Philippine islands will result in the better education of the Filipinos. Be not deceived. If we expect to maintain a colonial policy we shall not find it to our advantage to educate the people." This assertion must have been whispered into the speech by the Southern wing of the party who openly declare that they are tired of paying taxes to educate the negro who by education simply becomes a greater rouge. Bryan affirms that the Republicans would do with the brown man what the Democrats are now doing with the black man. Then by a peculiar mental process which it is impossible to follow, he pillories the Republicans for what he affirms they will do and endorses the Democrats because they have done the same thing. One course of conduct is a fact, the other is simply assumed. Four years ago Bryan said: "the gold standard would destroy the hope of the toilor, it would destroy the opportunity to work, it would discourage enterprise, it would paralyze industry." Economic conditions today prove the falsity of every one of these prophesies. The toilers have hope, there is opportunity to work, there are fewer idle men, enterprise has not been discouraged and industry has not been paralyzed. Mr. Bryan however has fallen into the habit of issuing lamentations and while not making so many financial predictions tearful and dark, trimmed with ruined homes, and starving In 1803 Jefferson paid Napoleon the Great $15,000,000 for Louisiana and the sale conveyed sovereignty over all the population born savage and civilized of that great territory and they were not asked to consent to the transfer. Had they rebelled, they would have been forced to recognize the sovereignty of the United States. "The consent of the governed" was not taken in the account, and yet our title to this vast territory is considered valid. Sixteen years later the United States purchased Florida from Spain With the sale went right to govern the people who lived there Five million dollars were paid, and General Jackson was sent to govern the territory. Had the people be belled it is not difficult to imagine what Old Hickory would have done and had Atkinson or Bryan go about preaching resistance they would have been obliged to keep a good distance from Jackson long arm and sharp tongue. The rule was autocratic if not impervious. Twenty-nine years later Uncle Sylvester made another investment in Western land and paid Mexico $18,250,000 and acquired title to both land and people of New Mexico and California. The people of those then rent regions, Mexicans, Zunis, Indians and all else the rest, were not consulted but were governed, and well governed, and the region has become the pride of the nation and the golden spot of the world. Five years later Southern Arizona and its people were acquired in a same manner without saying anything about the consent of the government. Fourteen years after $7,200,000 invested in Alaska, securing titles mountain, glacier, seals, fish, Indian Russians and all else the land contained without their consent being asked or required. Five times since United States acquired title land and sovereignty over people's purchase. When the governor paid Spain $20,000,000 for the Philippines it did what was done in 1819, in 1848, in 1853 and in 1876. Yet Bryan says it is impossible secure title to a people by force purchase. W. J. Barrett, who has been slated by the Republican leader for sixth district as President Elector at large from this end on State, is a well-known traveling artist of Los Angeles, and is Past President of the Pacific Coast Travel Men's Association. He is in employ of John A. Roebling. Years ago he made several speeches in northern end of the State behalf of the Republican National ticket. He is popular when known, and appears to have no The possible overflow of the Santa Ana river (the largest waterway in Southern California) in times of heavy rainfall must indubitably engross the attention of the people of this county. Mr. Needham knows the need of the people in this regard perfectly. The small sums of money expended in levees at and near the Olive bridge have been nothing more or less than so much money thrown away. The relief afforded is merely temporary. Each succeeding year of excessive rainfall sees the necessity for further work on the levees and for more money expended. Nothing substantial or permanent has been done. The treasury of the county is inadequate to meet the demands made upon it for levee work, and public subscriptions are useless. The national government will one day see the necessity for properly taking care of this former magnificent water way. Its bed is now a quagmire of quicksand, in many places higher than the level of the adjacent country. Our Congressman has given this matter much study, and will be prepared at the proper time to treat the subject as its growing importance deserves. A Congressman in touch with the administration, with the assurance that he has the people of his district supporting him, and with the prestige of an already acquired reputation at the national capital, should and will be a factor of growing influence in the councils of his party. To defeat him when the national administration has its eye upon the State and district, would be in the nature of a public calamity. The growing importance of California, now that our trade relations with Hawaii, with Guam, the Philippines and the Orient is assuming great importance, is patent to the merest wayfarer. Let us not disturb the good that is in store for us; A quarter of a million dollars for the improvement of San Diego harbor, more than a million for San Pedro, a large amount for the dredging of the San Joaquin river. We have never had a Representative at Washington with such a power for good in his hands as the gentleman now be- Economic conditions today prove the falsity of every one of these prophesies. The toilers have hope, there is opportunity to work, there are fewer idle men, enterprise has not been discouraged and industry has not been paralyzed. Mr. Bryan however has fallen into the habit of issuing lamentations and while not making so many financial predictions tearful and dark, trimmed with ruined homes, and starving freeman, he soars to a higher plane—money in 1900 is filthy lucre—and assures us, after his political halo had been reburnished by the Kansas City convention, that if he is not elected "celebrations of the Fourth of July will pass away." Is it surprising that the people refuse to scare? Indeed past experience has led them to believe that the reverse predictions of the prophet is that which will surely come to pass. In his Indianapolis speech of acceptance he arraigns the Republican party in the following manner: "In attempting to press economic questions upon the country to the conclusion of those which involve the very structure of our government, the Republican leaders give new evidence of their abandonment of the earlier ideals of the party and of their complete subserviency to pecuniary considerations." That expression from the apostle and high priest of an economic question, who forced it down the throats of the delegates who nominated him, who stands for silver, free silver, unlimited silver, and nothing but silver, is a delicious bit of sarcasm, which must have made the knowing ones smile when they heard it. It is simply a plea to talk about something else than silver this year because there are no votes to be made by advocating a disproven theory, and then because the Republican leaders refuse to allow him to let silver alone, he charges them with having abandoned the earlier ideals of their party. He also asks in rounded periods, "Who will draw a line between the W. J. Barrett, who has stated by the Republican leader the sixth district as President Elector at large from this end of State, is a well-known traveling man of Los Angeles, and is Past President of the Pacific Coast Travel Men's Association. He is in employ of John A. Roebling. Years ago he made several speed runs in the northern end of the State behalf of the Republican National ticket. He is popular when known, and appears to have no position for the political hiatus which is to be thrust upon him; selection for Elector is a very high choice indeed. The cry of the mocracy has been that traveling are for Bryan, whereas the fact that the large majority of this wawake portion of the voters of country are, as they ought to be the Party of Prosperity. Joint Session. The directors of the Anaheim Santa Ana water companies had a meeting at the office of the former this city on Saturday afternoon. Chapman, President of the company, called the meeting to order and asked Mr. Armor of Orange preside. That gentleman took chair, and the conference continue executive session until 5 o'clock. Meeting was for the purpose of discussing the matter of the development water up the river. It is understood that companies take up the water development soon first promulgated by the late Mr. some two years ago. Fumigating. Horticultural Commission reports a scarcity of work with his fumigating outfit. Fumigating the smaller orchards begins work at about 5 o'clock afternoon and keeps at it all. He tried it in day time, and found worked perfectly, but had to do tinue on account of the coast br which spring up about 10 o'clock continue during the greater part day. At night the breezes sur- and the work of clearing out pests is taken up. Mr. Hunt says the work of pest destruction ready showing good results. The fare will be kept up all summer. For Sale. A good old work horse; price $2 trades entertained. Apply to DANFORTH on the Miles tract. IMPERIALISM AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE. There has been a deal of din about "imperialism," but no anti-imperialist note has yet ventured to define what Mr. Bryan's party means by the term. Imperialism can mean one or other of two things or both of them: that it is the purpose of the Republican party to enter upon a national policy of world aggression and expansion, the acquisitions to be governed by, but not to become a part of, the United States; or it may mean that the purpose of the Republican party is to overthrow the republic and establish a monarchy on its ruins; or it may mean that both of these will result from Republican policy. What is meant has not been defined, for in order to make the needful explanation it would be necessary to cease, for a moment, the infernal din that is being made to frighten voters with boggy men of uncoath designs, and it is no part of the Bryan policy to let up on that din until the votes are all in. However, those who have followed this series of articles have clearly seen that the United States has had more than a century of colonization, annexation, conquest, militarism and imperial government without the consent of the governed, and that it has come through it all without becoming monarchical in any particular. The reader has seen, too, that the precedents established for this career of expansion were established by Thomas Jefferson, and that he borrowed our territorial system from the British system of governing her colonial dependencies, substituting the term "territory" for "colony," but making no essential modification of the system as borrowed. It may be observed in passing that Great Britain's career of expansion has not reacted upon the home government in the direction of an extension of the royal prerogative, but on the contrary has reacted in the direction of making the home government more liberal and the home people more free to participate in governmental affairs until Great Britain has now become, to all intents, a republic with a hereditary executive. It is not the policy of the Republican party to enter upon an expansive system of colonization and conquest, and such never at any time has been any part of the policy of that party. for the purpose of oppressing (American republics) or controlling in any manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." This is the Monroe doctrine. It did not cover peaceful surrender of territory and the house of representatives declared specifically that the Monroe doctrine was not to be understood as making the United States a party to any quarrel between an American country and a European power. Monroe himself declared that, "It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make serious preparations for defense." In the popular mind the Monroe doctrine is supposed to give the United States a protectorate over all the Spanish-American republics, but there is nothing in the doctrine or in American diplomacy to justify any such belief. The United States has not a protectorate over any country on earth. It is not answerable to Europe for any territory over which it has not sovereignty. Where our government is responsible it is wholly responsible. Where it is not wholly responsible it is not responsible at all. For its own protection, and not for the protection of South America or Central America, our government will not permit a European monarchy to be established on the Western hemisphere. That is all there is to the Monroe doctrine. The establishment of a monarchy in the Philippine islands, or other part of Asia, is not a menace to free institutions in America as the establishment of a monarchy in this country would be, and for our country to attempt to shut the monarchies of Europe out of Asia, or any part of it, by declaring it an unfriendly act (which in diplomacy means a cause for war) would be to provoke hostilities with combined Europe, an eventuality so tremendously perilous as to make the bravest shudder at the possible consequences. The thoughtful man will need no other evidence of the absolute irresponsibility, want of statesmanship and of elemental knowledge of diplomacy on the part of William J. Bryan than his declaration, in his Indianapolis speech of notification, that he would extend the Monroe doctrine to include the Philippine islands. To elect such a man to It may be observed in passing that Great Britain's career of expansion has not reacted upon the home government in the direction of an extension of the royal prerogative, but on the contrary has reacted in the direction of making the home government more liberal and the home people more free to participate in governmental affairs until Great Britain has now become, to all intents, a republic with a hereditary executive. It is not the policy of the Republican party to enter upon an expansive system of colonization and conquest, and such never at any time has been any part of the policy of that party. If an expanded commerce and a rehabilitated merchant marine require additional naval or coaling stations they will doubtless be acquired as opportunity offers and because the highest interests of the American people demand such safeguarding acquisitions, but whatever territory has come to us, in addition to these requirements, has come as the fortuitous consequence of a war that was entered upon by the Republican administration with extreme reluctance and in the shape of a national obligation that cannot honorably be relinquished. As for the monarchical tendencies of Republicanism, such allegations are too trivial to merit serious consideration. The political party that wrested the republic from the custody of a slave-holding oligarchy and freed and enfranchised four millions of slaves cannot reasonably be charged with cherishing fondness for monarchical institutions. The hysterical declarations that are being delivered against that other bogy, militarism, and its fearsome attendant, conscription, justifies the presumption that the declaimers may at one time in their history have felt called upon to hurriedly join an exodus to Canada to escape the draft. Along in the sixties there were many, now among the champions of Mr. Bryan, who fled Canada in the firm conviction that it was better to be a live coward than a dead hero. The Republican party never made a war and conscription was only once resorted to under its administration of national affairs, and that was when Democratic mismanagement and treachery had put the nation in deadly peril of its life. There will always be volunteers enough to fight all battles in any wars not the result of treason at home. France maintains a regular army of one soldier to each 67 citizens, Germany and Japan each one regular soldier to each 100 in population, Russia one soldier to each 125 people, Great Britain one soldier in its regular army to each 145 inhabitants, and the measure for the reorganization of the army of the United States favored by the Republican administration provides for one soldier for each 1000 citizens. And this is the "vast standing army," the dread militarism about the proposed existence of which the Bryan partisans are striving to affront the people. One soldier to each thousand citizens to preserve order at home, on the frontier and in all the outlying territories of our expanded republic! There does not live an American citizen, male or female, infant or adult, not afraid to step out of doors after dark, whom the bogy of Republican militarism can frighten after he has learned the facts as here stated, and the monarchies of Europe out of Asia, or any part of it, by declaring it an unfriendly act (which in diplomacy means a cause for war) would be to provoke hostilities with combined Europe, an eventuality so tremendously perilous as to make the bravest shudder at the possible consequences. The thoughtful man will need no other evidence of the absolute irresponsibility, want of statesmanship and of elemental knowledge of diplomacy on the part of William J. Bryan than his declaration, in his Indianapolis speech of notification, that he would extend the Monroe doctrine to include the Philippine islands. To elect such a man to the chief magistracy of this nation is to flaunt the flag of defiance in the faces of all the nations of Europe and usher in an era of universal war instead of universal peace. And that is the man who by the bogies of Republican imperialism and militarism is striving to frighten the American people into electing him president! It has been said with some justice that, in effect, each European worker carries a soldier on his back, meaning of course that out of his labor he has to support a soldier and mostly in idleness. This is indeed a horrible example, but who proposes following it? Certainly not the Republican party. The army reorganization measure recently pending in congress provided for one soldier to the thousand citizens. Some difference! And that is the militarism the Bryanites are pow-wowing about! Another bogy man. It is not a sufficient assurance to the industrial world for Mr. Bryan's apologists to declare that, if elected president, he could not do anything for free coinage of silver if he would. It will be sufficient for the prudent voter to know that he would if he could. Four years ago Mr. Bryan and his followers were denouncing everything in sight because of low prices. Now they are equally wrathful and denunciatory because prices are high. They are mighty hard people to suit. This is a nice little scheme into which the very faithful in the Bryan forces have been initiated: "Talk imperialism boys, nothing but imperialism. Give the word so frightful a sound in the ears that men hearing it will vote for Bryan through fright and not stop to learn the truth until after the election. Get a scare on That is the only way to win. We must work up a stampede." It would be a nice little scheme for a six weeks' campaign, but the people already learning that imperialism is are only a spook and not dangerous. A Cable With a History. The cable of the Western Union Telegraph company which runs under Lake Champlain from Ticconderoga to Larrabeacres Point has something of a history. It was made in Europe and was first used in connecting opposite shores of the Red Sea. From there it was brought to Hilton Head, where it was used in connecting that place with monarchies of Europe out of Asia, or any part of it, by declaring it an unfriendly act (which in diplomacy means a cause for war) would be to provoke hostilities with combined Europe, an eventuality so tremendously perilous as to make the bravest shudder at the possible consequences.

FORTH, on the Miles tract, agg-It* Mr. Bryan has demanded that the Monroe doctrine be extended to include the Philippine islands and afford them protection against European interference, and he pledges himself, if elected President, to convene Congress in extraordinary session for that purpose. Few people understand what the Monroe doctrine signifies, and among the few who do understand Mr. Bryan cannot properly be included. Lord George Canning suggested this doctrine in the common interest of Great Britain and the United States, for the purpose of withstanding the Holy Alliance. John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State under Monroe, formulated the doctrine and Monroe promulgated it and thereby gave his name to it. The Holy Alliance was composed of the then absolutist monarchies, Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and Spain, which proposed to aid Spain in re-establishing her oppressive dominion in America as it had re-established an absolutist dominion in France upon the ruins of Napoleon's freer form of Government. The purpose of the Monroe doctrine was to assure the Holy Alliance that the United States, as well as Great Britain, would have to be reckoned with if an attempt were made to re-establish Spanish power on this continent. This Anglo-American unity of purpose was as effectual in 1823 as it was in 1898 when Great Britain warningly informed these same continental nations to keep their hands off the controversy, over Cuba, between Spain and the United States. In his annual message of 1823 Mr. Monroe said: "We should consider any attempt on the part of the (Holy Alliance) to extend their system (of absolutism) to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety, and we could not view any interposition A Cable With a History. The cable of the Western Union Telegraph company which runs under Lake Champlain from Ticonderoga to Larrabees Point has something of a history. It was made in Europe and was first used in connecting opposite shores of the Itea sea. From there it was brought to Hilton Head, where it was used in connecting that place with Tybee Island, near Beaufort, S.C. At the close of the civil war it was taken up and carried to New York city, where it remained for several years in the company storehouse before it was placed where it now is. His Inspiration.

Some Mistake. "What does she say?" asked the crafty politician who had referred the committee to his wife for information as to his intentions. "She refuses to talk," replied the spokesman of the committee. "Then it wasn't my wife you met, gentlemen," he rejoined, with great positiveness. "It was somebody else."—Chicago Tribune. An Example and a Warning. "I'm afraid," said the patient wife, "that yours will be the fate of Abel." Why, what do you mean?" asked the astonished husband. Well," she replied, "Abel was killed by a club, and your club will be the death of you if you don't come home oftener."—Chicago News. Cuts and Bruises Quickly Healed.
