Many of the great uewspa pert of the south have within the last few years-been compelled to revise their opinions regarding that roost excellent policy in order to gat in line with their constituents. Some others, whlch would most strongly resent the charge If It were intimated that they had come over Into the republican rankf at least as regards this cardinal prin ciple of the republican party, argue right along republican lines. One of these news papers is the Now Orleans States. The States is one of the few papers that retain the old provincial characteristics tLat for so long have kept the south from real ising her truest destiny. The States is not doing all it might to instil right ideas among the people. Sometimes, however, tbe paper stumbles upon an Idea that Is truly helpful and llke.y to be of real benefit to the community. In late Issue we find the following sug gestive editorial, headed "Economy of high wages.'' There are very manv narrow minded employers Indeed, a larae majority of them are of that class who regard it the very acme of business sagacity to force down to the lowest point the wages of their employes, without any regard whatever to the value of their services. Hut the American people and the world at large are gradually beginning to realize the vast import ance of certain facta that have been apparent to broad-minded students of Industrial progress in this country for some time past. These facts relate to the lncreaHlnT production and decreas ing cost of all manufactures with us undei the distinctively American eco nomic system, wblch is coming to be known as tbe system of Economy of High Wages. It is a well established fact that tbe American artizan or any other class of employe will do much more work in a given time that the European; nor is this so much the result of a superior physique or a keener intelligence as it Is because the one In receipt of wages that not only supply the daily wants of bis family but enable him to put by something for a rainy day takes more interest in his employer's business and goes to his work with an alertness en tirely absent from tbe other, who is forced to accept a beggarly wage and In tbe morning goes to bis task like dumb driven cattle. Yet while the high wage system is, so far, peculiar to this country, it Is slowly but surely finding advocates in England, France Bud Germany, and is rapidly here among all employers of every class of employes. The above statement we can heartily endorse without reservation. And auch a atatement in the New Orleans States means infinitely more than would a similar one published in the New York Tribune. Hut we can go further than the States and Hay that the "distinctively American economic system, which is coming to be known as the system of Economy of High Wages' is nothing more or less than tbe distinctively republican system of protection to borne Industries and of reciprocity. Facts and figures all go to show that under the thoroughly beneficent sys tem that has been kept in force by the republican party the American work man Is bettor otT, is happier, and is va ly mora valuable to b e employer tban would be the kind of workman that. U produced by the soul consuming European system. nd where the States say a that the "high wage eyetem" is finding more and more advocates in Koglacd, Franco, and Gc- uaany, we fay that it is the American system of reasonable and moderate protection that is finding new adher ents every dtj. We are not extreme pre tectionlsts. We would Dot go as far in practice as McKlcloy, for instance. Hut tbe principle of moderate protection we do believe in implicitly, and while some day it may be politic to sacrifice that principle, the time is far, very far, off Gold continues to pile up in the treasury and in the country at large, all the products of tbe farm are quoted at high prices, business is steadily in creasing in every line, tbe railroads re port tbe best season for years, and bus iness activity and general prosperity are tbe reports that come in from ev ery part of the nation. This is the re' suit of a year of republican administra tion. No person who is candid enough to look tbe truth In tbe face can for a moment cay that all those blessings would have come to tbe country if Hryan had been elected in 1896. The government has a whole lot of business on band, what with tbe peace commission, the Cuban commission, the Forto Rico commission, tbe Ha waiian commission, and the Canadian commission. The republicans have two or tnree years yet to make a mag nificent record for themselves, and there is every reason to believe that the party will come up to the standard it has set for itself by its great achieve ments in the past. While the war has resulted In considerable increase in tbe public do main, no man who has any regard whatever for the truth can assert that the war was prosecuted for the purpose of territorial conquest. That idea was the furthest from tbe minds of those who advocated the war. And it Is matter of history tha tbe men who are recognized as republican leaders were slow tj act upon the demands of the over hasty. While democratic conventions in various states are declaring against any increase in the standing army, we find the Memphis Commercial Appeal declaring tbat ' The regular army of tbe United States ougtt to be 100,000 first class men." TEDDY ROOSEVELT IS J USt about as good at rough writing as he is at rough riding, says an exchange. And cer tainly a fountain pen is more powerful tban a sixshooter. Texas is a big state. It is not big enough to harbor whitecappers. TEXAS STATESMEN. Two Widely Differing Views of Mr Bailey's Antics. Under the heading "Old fashioned statesmaoshIp"the Portland Oregonian prints the following study of Texas democratic political leaders: There is something in the tradition of Texas which inclines the public in stinct to identify the state with the Cy clone Davises and the Wild Bills of politics, rather tban with dignified and higb-minded types of statesmanship, It is, therefore, somewhat of a surprise to find repeated Instances of high-class action on the part of Texas publio men. It begins to look as if we have all along been mistaken about Texas. There muet be somewhere in her body politic a spirit essentially strong and wholesome to inspire and support such courageous opposition to partisan folly as has recectly come from Senator Chil'on, Governor Culberson, Chief Justice Garrett. Representative Burke and others, in connection with tbe Issues raised by the Spanish war. In the democratic state convention held at Galveston on the 4th inst., an effort was made to commit the party to the "anti-imperial" doctrine of which we hear so much just now. The active man of this effort was Representative Bailey, leader of the democratic min ority in congress, and especially con spicuous, prior to the beginning of hostilities, as an ad vocate of the Span ish war. Having done much to bring on tbe war, Mr. Bailey is now active among those who wish to throw away its results, turn from the opportunity it has given us, abandon the duties it has put upon us, and stultify the Unit ed States before the world. He be longs to a class of cheap politicians whose motives never rise above schemes of negative partisan action; but as the possessor of a certain foren sic gift of the boy-orator type, he con trives to rally about himself some elements of party backing, and on all party occasions to get himself well to ward the front. Mr. Bailey put up what is called a "still fight" in -the Galveston conven tion, but the supporters of national progress were tco "Strong for him. Senator Chilton took the leading part. He deprecated any action which might embarrass the government: he thought while we were prosecuting a foreign war was no fit time for-partisans trategy , he declared the competency of tbe United States government to perform all its duties without reference to tra ditions; and he urged tbe convention, by all tbe motives of patriotism, to put aside partisan prejudice -and look only to tbe dutys the honor, and the glory of the country. Apainst such serious and manly council the boy-oratory of Mr. Bailey fell Hat: and by a substan tial majority, the convention adopted resolutions favoring retention of Cuba and Porto Kico. For what reason there is as yet no explanation, the de claration opposed retention of the Phi lippines: and in this respect the action of tbe convention is open to criticism. But this error of policy is too trilling to mar tbe merit involved in the gen eral attitude of patriotic as opposed to mere party sentiment. Much of tho spirit thus manifest bad its origin unquestionably in discussion of the question at issue preceding tbe convention, and no small part of tbe sentiment which triumphed in the vot ing was due to the Hon. C. C. Garrett, chief justice of the state, and, of course, a democrat. In a public letter printed in the Galveston News a week before the convention (reprinted in full in yesterday's Oregonian.) Judge Garrett took high ground against the "anti- mnerUl" doctrine. After assuming for bis party credit for the acquisition of Louisiana. Florida, Texas, and Cali fornia, be said: Will a petty spirit of opposition to tbe republican party cause democrats to forsake tbe principles tnat nave guided them for nearly a century, re pudiate their glorious past, ana sen the birthright of the party for the chance of some a i vantage over tbe op position? Will they remain a party of progress and administration, or win they drop into a faction of simple op position, tho inglorious witnesses of grand achievements they will be pow erless to prevent? . . . rney snoum as patriots help the dominant party to guide their common country in tbe present crisis to a glorious ana Honor able adjustment of the questions crrowlncr nut of the Dresent war. Ihere la In this, especially wnen lb is recarded as eominff before the iudffmentof the party has been de clared. and presumably in opposition to tbe forces controlling it, sometuing that stirs the blood. Without conced ing that Judge Garrett is entirely rlffht in bis interpretation of history, it may be said that in recent times we nave seen no better example 01 nign class action on tho part of a public man. We have erown so used to the dodirer. the trimmer, tbe man who holds his convictions suDject to the nledffes of his friends, tbe man who has no convictions until tbe olatform is made, and the man so "tied up" that be dare not speak for any thing save '-the old flag and an appro priation" in short, we are so usea to tbe Dolitlcs of silence or evasion on tbe part of public men that tne traui tion which looks to public men for public leadership has well-nigh been lost. It is indeed a spiritual refresh ment to read tbe letter of Judge Gar rett; and we trust there is no rudenesavf in surprise that so marked an instance of old-fashioned, manly statesmanship should come from the state of Texas. In this connection it ought not to be forgotten that net very long ago ana in auite another department ol affairs, Texas gave the world a fine example of moral stamina, exercised in the in terest of public decencv and for the good name of the state and na tion. It was when a company of bruisers, taking advantage of the fact there was no lecal prohibition of prizefighting in Texas, advertised to "pull off a mill in tne city of Dallas. When this pro ject came to the notice of Governor Culberson, he warned tbe managers of the fight to keen out of his state: and when they persisted in their plans, he convened tbe legislature in extra ses sion and in less tban 24 hours put through a measure which made the moral crime of the prize fight a crime at law under severe penalties. All honor to Texas! A state with three such sons as Culberson, Garrett, and Chilton deserves the respect of the world. The Atlanta Constitution very different view of the ' takes 'victory of vountr Joe Bailey. It says All democrats must rejoioe -upon the victory of Hon. Joseph Bailey, of Texas, in securing a renomination for congress. The Question which has made itself most prominent in Texas politics is that of territorial expansion. Tbe state convention took one view, which was used to crush out Mr. Bailey, who bad taken another. The result is that Mr Bailey's district has stood by him ful It. and tbat he will again take his place in the federal congress. The question of territorial expansion is inchoate and new; in fact, it can hardly be said to have yet any definite shape. This was recognized bv the state democratic convention of Georgia which committed it to the future when the whole matter may be intel ligently discussed. Until discussion assumes that importance which will callfforthjnational action on the part of the party, it must be considered an open one, working its way through the formative period until it can be'decided upon. When that time come?, and when democratic natienol convention shall have taken one side or the other, then it will be time for all democrats to stand together as one man. Until that time, discussion should be free and un trammeled. In the meantime. The Constitution congratulates Hon. Joe Bailey upon bis return to congress. Little Items From Live Papers. TEXAS. A. A.

"It is growing pretty certain that Colonel McCord and his regiment will be retained in the service for some time. Tne policy of the war depart ment seems to be to muster out those regiments that have become weakened by service and those who by majority vote desire to be mustered out. In Colonel McCord 's regiments there are few men who could rot serve three years if need be without serious incon venience. They are almost all experienced pioneers, fighting men of many an encounter with Indians, and the former lawless element of the frontier. The regiment, if it is ever called upon to do duty under ore, will make a record that will not be surpassed by any body of men yet sent into service. Colonel McCord is himself a fearless, cool, con siderate man, who would lead bis regi ment wherever men dared to follow and wherever necessity called. It is to be regretted that his regiment did not go into service early enough to participate ; i ..: 1 1.: i -1 r- i . iu uuauiiucn eibuer in uotor tne Philippines, for it is certainly one of tbe most capable bodies oi men ever called into ser vice and officered by men who are most capable and efficient.
