Several leading silver Republicans.
including ex-senator Dubois waited
on Senator Jones several days ago
and urged that every effort be made
by Democrats to aid in the re- cleo.
ton of Cannon of Utah. The silver
Republicans are greatly interested
in Cannon. They have informed
the silver Democrats of their desire
to know that they can depend on
Democratic help in the Cannon
campaign. Senator Jones told them
he would be pleased to see Cannon
reelected. The silver Republicans
told the Senator that Cannon's fail.
ure to be elected, following that
of Dubois, would have a very de-
pressing effect on silver Republi.
cans throughout the Nation.

Going Into Militarism.

In the consideration of what to
do with the Hawaiian Islands in
the event of their annexation, the
first question relates to the form of
government to be established there.
According to the latest census,
Hawaii has a total population of
10000. Of this population the
natives number 81 600, the Japan
csc $4,000, the Chinese $4,000 the
half-breeds 5000. There is a re.
mainder of about 1000, of whom
little less than one-half consists
of Americans and the others of
Germans, English and various Eu-
ropean nationalities.
How are we to establish there a
territorial government with any
measure of home rule without dis
elimination in the suffrage which
will make the system a mockery of
popular government? 1.-THE Asiatics
are to be excluded from the islands
we shall have to deport AZ, 900 per-
sons nearly one-half the total
population. If Asiatics now there
are allowed to remain, the politics
of the territory will be turned over
to lot of brutal coolies from China
and Japan or nearly one-half the
population must be disfranchised
by law.
If all the people except the Asiat-
les are allowed to vote the native
Hawaiians will have a substantial
majority. To deprive the Hawaii
ans of any voice in government
would be to violate a fundamental
principle of justice, but if expedien-
cy should drive us to the act of
making Hawaiians aliens in their
native land by drawing the line of
suffrage at the whites, the Portu-
guese would be masters of the stu
alton. If. again, having proceeded
to an extreme of high-handed in
justice in limiting the sovereignty
of the ballot we should by special
law cut off the Portuguese, the bal
ance of power would still be in the
hands of other Europeans as against
the Americans, so that We would be
driven to the extremity Of limiting
suffrage to persons of American
birth or descent, if we insisted upon
the domination of American infu-
ence in Hawaiian politics. Wewould
then offer for the delectation of the
world the spectacle of part of
great free republic ruled by about
one-sixtieth of the population.
Better than to be guilty of such
mockery of popular government
would be the absolute government
of the territory by the Federal au-
thorities, resting upon military
power regardless of the will of the
people. The Hawaiians would be
the wards or subjects of the United
States and for the FIRST time in our
history the American people would
set up and maintain military des-
potism on foreign soil. We COM
mend the prospect to those who call
the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands American.-St. Louis Re-
Duhlio.

Senator Stewart, in giving his
reasons for leaving the Republican
party, says;
"The Republican party, with all
its glorious record for liberty, has
done more for slavery than it has
done for liberty. It has done more
for slavery in the last twenty years
than it ever did for liberty before
that. Only 1000, 900 slaves in the
South were liberated but the Re-
publican party was the first party
in this country to join England to
enslave the world. By its influence
other nations have been brought in,
until ALMOST the whole human race
is grooming under the letters that the
Republican party was mostly in
strumental in forming and forging"

THE Denver Republican is severe

The Denver Republican is severe on
Coxey, Watson, ct al, but the advice
given the party is good: ''If Populists
want to accomplish good for the coun-
try, they must abandon their present
futile and disordered party organiza-
ton and repudiate the leadership of
such blatherskites and jobbers as Parks
and Nandervort and Coxey and Wat
son, for no sense of public wrongs and
no desire for reformation will ever in
duce majority of the American peo-
pie to intrust the government to
known fools and knaves. The recent
nomination of Coxey for governor of
Ohio by the Populists of that State is
an object-lesson which will not soon be
forgotten.'

SEEKERS after office, who believe
that the civil service law is altogether
harmful-when they are out-should
ponder over this paragraph from the
Minneapolis Tribune: 1.-THE very hun
cry and very thirsty patriots who are
on the war path after the civil service
law should not allow their unsatisfed
warnings to cloud their better iudg-
ment. The road to monarchy is not
through an improved public service
and the pathway to independence and
self respect lies not in the direction of
chronic Office seeking.''

He Jumped at Conclusions Without an
Investigation and Now He's
Sorry That He Spoke. III

Editor Craven's desire for sensation
frequently leads him to twist facts in a
very peculiar manner. His Milaca
Times last week contained the follow
ing ''expose'' of the awful manner in
which Princeton is being favored by
the county board to the injury of the
Taxpayers of the northern part of the
county:
According to the county auditors
report OF the personal property assess
ment in Mile Laos county, the valua-
ton OF personal property in the town.
ship and village of Milaca exceeds that
OF Princeton village and township by
81, 273.00. To say the least this is
peculiar condition of affairs. That
there can be no question about it we
refer to the tabulated statement pub
lished in the Princeton UNION of Aug.
10Th, giving the figures as follows:
Pi (ylllage).. ........... S64 ,349. 90
Miaca (village and town. ............ so, Isl. 90
Add the assessment of Princeton
town and village and it shows total
OF $8S,918.O0. Subtract this from that
OF Mllaca and an excess of ST, 273. 90 is
left on the side of the latter. These
are the figures after the assessment
was equalized by the county board. To
say that Princeton is evading the pay
ment of a just share of taxes is putting
it mildly. We understand that the re-
port in detail shows a still more ridicu-
lous condition of the alleged assess
ment of personal property at the coun-
ty seat, viz: Milaca is credited with
having more cattle and horses than
Princeton. The absurdity of the coun-
ty board letting such report go on
record as eq10lized looks as if a STU
pendous humbug was being perpe-
trated on the taxpayers in the north
ern and central part of the county.
Basing his charges on the totals the
Milaca editor jumps at conclusions
which he could not reach had he taken
the trouble to inspect the auditors
books for thirty minutes. The UNION
has investigated the matter and below
are the figures:

ONE of the humorous occurrences in
the different State campaigns this fall
was the nomination by the rabid Col
orado silver Democrats of John A..
Gordon, one of Bede's ''Klondyke Dem
Ocrats.' Gordon led the bolt from the
convention when it repudiated Grover
Cleveland on account of his position on
the money question. The Coloradoites
have finally discovered their mistake
but feel a great deal like Tom Watson
when he inquired where he was at.

ST. PAUL newspapers have always

No comment is necessary. The
''stupendous humbug" seems to have
had it's resting place within the walls
of the Times Office.
But to proceed. Mercantile stocks
in Princeton are assessed S23,6O2, while
Milaca's figures are 6,7l5. Material
and manufactured articles, which in.
cludes the Foley-Bean stock of lumber,
reachers total of SCI, 349 in Milaca
against 81, 270 for Princeton. Machin.
cry and manufacturers tools also
shows balance in Milacas favor the
figures being SIS, to $3.50. The diff
ference in the method of assessment.
however, has something to do with the
last mentioned item. In Princeton the
machinery in the different mills and
the starch factory is considered a
permanent improvement and is as
sessed as real property, while in Mil
AGA it is evidently not so considered
and is listed as personal property.
Under the heading of miscellaneous
the auditors books show a personal
property valuation for Princeton of
81, 982 while the same item shows but
81, 1855 for Milaca.
The Foley. Bean assessment is S6S. 500
OF Milaca's 800, l0l, leaving balance
OF only $21,69l to be divided among
Editor Cravens and his fellow citizens
outside the corporation. Then, too,
$2O,OOO was the assessment on the logs
which at the time the assessment was
levied were in the town of Robbins,
but Milaca receives this benefit be-
cause it is the place where the princi-
pal business of the company is done.
The UNION, however, does not wish
to be understood as stating that the
Individual assessments of this village
are all exactly what they should be.
In every community there will be
found men who by hook or crook evade
a just taxation year after year, while
those who have property in sight are
forced to make up the deficiency thus
caused. Until different method of
assessing is adopted this will continue
and tax dodgers will ply their nefari-
Gus art. t@ u
We are glad the Times has promised
to willingly correct any errors it may
have made in this matter and the
UNION expects to see it done. The
charges made do a gross injustice to
several officials and the Times should
hasten to correct the false impressions
it has given through ignorance of the
facts.
