4 Hint to Our Bob.

EDITOR HERALD:-All honor to
Bob Taylor for electing his man
and our man to the United States
Senate.
We all love Bob. God bless him,
we will again honor him by electing
him Governor of Tennessee. But
as for him being a candidate for u.
s. Senate against Billy Bate, he
might as we'll pull in bis horns. But
the next time we will elect him
Senator.
Everybody loves Bob and will do
everything for him within the
limits of reason. But he can't beat
Billy Bate, and there is no use in
talking. Billy Bate made a good
Governor and has made us a good
Senator, and we, the Democratic
party of Tennessee, do not propose
to swap horses. Bob suits US for
Governor and Bate suits us for Sem
ator.
You see l am the man that elected
Bob, and 1 am the man that elected
Turley, and 1 am no politician but a
Democrat, and 1 Just throw out this
hint to keep the boys straight.
am very truly,
SAM r. WATKINS.

Spanish proprietors in the East and
West Indies now seek yearly bonus Of
untold millions from their deliverers!
And certain domestic combinations in
the sugar, tobacco, trucking and fruit
trades have entered into an unholy alli-
ance with this scheme.
The labor question Is one of the most
important problems involved, because
upon the dignity, prosperity, intelligence
and happiness of the worker depends the
republic. To elevate the worker of both
sexes has been the main object Of this
nation for century. But the annex
alton trust boldly demands the right to
employ slave labor on tropical planta-
tlons, in addition to other advantages for
unparalleled profit This is what the
contract labor system, or coolie labor,
Of Hawaii, amounts to. Under this
method, coolies from the lowest classes
in China and Japan are enticed to the
Sandwish islands by glittering promises,
under contract to work for three or five
years. AS each coOlie costs $3.50 TO $50

law holds him to his contract under PEN

States that comprise the American re-
public.
The bitter opposition to any such wise,
elastic, statesmanlike and moderate pol
icy comes almost solely from the selfish
interests already alluded to. Those peo-
pie frankly admit that If through annex
alton they can get their produce into
the United States free Of duty, they will
wax fat by monopolizing this market to
the ruin Of certain agricultural, manu-
featuring and labor interests of vast do
mestic importance. What is there in it
for the annexationists? By remission
Of duties, they would make an extra
profit Of $50 or $40 on every ton of sugar,
SIS to $8 on every pound of cigars, $1.50
every pound Of wrapper tobacco, $25 to
$40 on every ton Of rice, and proper
tional extra prpofits on all early or trop-
ical fruits and vegetables. It Is safe to
say that in this way there would be
taken from the United States revenues
at least 500, 900, 900 annually, with con-
stant ratio Of increase. This loss of rev.
enue would have to be made good by In
creased direct taxation Of our people here
at home. In other words, after having
given freely Of our blood and treasure TO

Agriculture and
Annexation.
Herbert Myrlck Gives Warming of the
Dangers of Imperialism to Farmer
and Wage-W
ABLE AND POINTED ADDRESS.

Herbert Myrick, editor Of the Orange
Judd publications, delivered an address
before the annual session Of the national
grange Patrons Of Husbandry at Con-
cord. N. H., last week in which he point
ed out In a convincing manner the dan
gers that confront the American farmer
through competition with the cheap
labor and tropical products through
hasty annexation. His address is Of ad-
ditional interest because he gave several
instances showing the spirit of CONNER
cialism which will have to be fought.
Mr.. Myrick said:
We have entered upon war with
Spain to set Cuba free and to establish
therein stable and independent govern
ment. From that war we are emerging
with Porto Rico and the Philippines on
our hands, a knOtty problem in Cuba
and feeling among certain OF our peo-
pie that this nation should plunge head
long into militarism and imperialism.
Hawaii was annexed as a war measure,
thus rounding out the sum total Of the
greatest variety Of fresh complexities
that ever beset free people in so short
a time The vital issue comes right here.
A certain contingent demand nothing
less than immediate unconditional an
nexatiOn of Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines and their admission to the
Union as territories with all the privi-
leges of interstate free trade, irrespec-
tive Of their form Of government This
demand comes from Spanish property
holders in those islands, and from
A,,A v,oxravfa,1 ontario In fhfo
try who seek to monopolize the cheap
labor and marvellous productiVeness OF
the tropics. These interests realize that
wealth beyond the dreams Of avarice will
be theirs if once they can gain free ac-
cess for their products to the largest and
best market in the world-that Of the
United States. A few shouting parsons,
who did so much to bring on the war but
who kept as far away from 1t as pos
sible have also joined in the cry for in
slant annexation, Ito elevate the race"
The wiser and majority of the ministry,
however, Join the laity in recognizing
that missionary effort in the tropics does
not in the least depend upon the polit-
ical or economic equality. Any form OF
government that may be devised for
those countries will afford ample liber-
ties for sectarian or moral effort. Let
us not confuse or connect church and
state, even in the colonies.
The underlying principle, therefore,
should be this: Hawaii, having by an
nexation become a part Of the United
States, must be strictly amenable to its
laws. Cuba must be an independent re-
public, the United States to guarantee its
stability at home and protection against
foreign encroachment Porto Rico and
so much Of the Philippines as are finally
retained by the United States, to be adj
ministered for some years at least)
somewhat after the English method OF
dealing with the crown colonies. Our
tropical dependencies would thus be in
sured stable governments, and as large
measure of home rule as they are quail
ifled for, without at present participating

Spain ACCedeS to
Our Demands.
Did Not Want To, But Backed Down
as Gracefully as Possible.
WE KEEP THE PHILIPPINES.

Paris, Nov 2S-The joint peace COM
missions met promptly at o'clock this
afternoon and the Spanish commission
ers Immediately announced the accept
ance Of the American demands.
The acceptance was made verbally. A
written acceptance will be presented la
ter.
In the reply the Spanish commission
ers announced that being authorized by
their government to reply that the Amer
ical propositions are inadmissable on
legal principles, and are not a proper
compromise on legal principles on the
Spanish part, all diplomatic resources are
exhausted and the Spanish commission
Is now asked to accept or reject the prop
osition. Spain, inspired by reasons Of
patriotism and humanity, and to avoid
the horrors of war, resigns herself to the
power of the victor. She accepts the Of
fered conditions in order to conclude a
treaty Of peace.
The Americans demands included the
acquisition of the whole Of the PHILIPPINE
and Sulu group for 100000 and 1t Is
also understood the United States will

tion Of the debt Of Cuba Is left unset
tied. The next meeting will take place
on Wednesday.
There is no denying that the whole
European continent will bitterly resent
American acquisition Of the Philippines.
This sentiment is not confined to diplo-
mats; but especially here In Paris IL is
the opinion constantly heard In the high
est French society. 1t Is known that, a
high official of the French foreign office
said yesterday: The appearance Of the
Americans in eastern waters Is dis
turbing factor to the whole of Europe.
Americans, as is we'll known lack diplo-
matte manners and will surely bring con-
slant trouble TO all Of us"
AS to the general sentiment, Mr.. Will
liam T. Stead, who has just returned
here from a tour Of France, Belgium,
Germany, Russia, Austria, Turkey and
Italy, and who has seen the highest poll
iticians in each country and in some
cases their rulers, said to-day to cor
respondent Of the Associated Press:
"The immense majority Of Europeans
are Of course absolutely ignorant Of what
has happened Intent upon their daily
toll, they neither know nor care what oc-
ours In the other hemisphere. But Euro
peans who read the newspapers are able
to form what may be called public opin-
ion in the old world They are practi-
cally unanimous on the matter Outside
of England, have not met single non
American who was not opposed to the
expansion Of America. Nor through my
whole tour Of Europe have met Eu-
ropean who did not receive the protesta-
tions of the genuine sincerity with which
the Americans entered upon the war with
more or less incredulity."
Mr. Stead reports that the bitterest
hostility OF all was found at the vati-
can.

MAKE A NEW MOVE.
Mnrshalltown Liquor Dealers Put n
New Light on the Mulct Law
That Promises Trouble.

Marshalltown's saloon war is grad
ually becoming more and more COM
plicated, and several unexpected points
have arisen, which it will be necessary
for the supreme court to decide. The
latest difficulty was experienced when
an order was issued by Judge Caswell
to the sheriff ordering him to take
charge of the two saloons and to de-
stroy the outfits and liquors, but when
he arrived at the saloons, which were
then closed, he was met by the repre-
sentative of a Dubuque brewing firm
with the intelligence that his company
held mortgage on the Clifford prop
erty, and that the fixtures could not be
destroyed. This put new light on the
question, and involved a point that may
take the very life from Iowa's mulct
law. The two saloonsts have filed 81 900
appeal bonds, and made midnight visit
to Des Moines, where they awakened
Supreme Judge Given, VINO granted q
stay, and notice from that court was
filed upon officers of the Marshalltown
district. This takes the matter entire
~ out of the district courts hands.
The trouble is being anXiously watched
by every saloon keeper in the county.

Lake sailors the Hest.

A Sioux City man who has during u
good share of his life been q sailor, in
speaking the other evening of the value
of the naval reserve in case of war, said:
1.-THE sailors on our great lakes are the
best sailors in the world. have sailed
with salt water sailors and with fresh
water sailors, and know the character
istics of both. You can tell salt water
sailor if he is sailing on the lakes just
by watching him work. He is always
the last man on deck when the crew is
called and the last man on the yard
when it becomes necessary to take in
sail. The reason for this is that the
lake sailor learns from the start to be
more watchful. On the lakes he is
hardly ever out of sight Of land, and so
he always has lee shore. There are
no trade winds or pronounced currents
to help him along, but, on the other
hand there are numerous islands and
a multitude of boats to be avoided. A
sailor may cross the Atlantic without
danger of running into an island, and he
may hardly see more than two or three
ships during the entire voyage, but on
the lakes it is just the other way. The
lake sailor, therefore, becomes more
alert, watchful and careful. He is the
best sailor in the world, and anybody
who knows anything about the subject
acknowledges S.-Sioux City Journal.
