JUSTICE BREWERS OPINION.
He Says He DGes Not Believe In
American Colonial Expansion.


American Colonial Expansion.
Justice David J. Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court gave out at Mil
waukee, Wis, last night an interview, in
which he said:
II think we may have to take posses
sion of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines as a war measure and for the pur-
pose of getting indemnity. ] should look
upon all save Cuba simply in the same
light as if 1 held mortgage on mans
farm.
Il think it is consistent with our policy.
and it is certainly necessary that we
should keep Cuba for while and have an
army there to maintain good order There
are more than a quarter of a million peo-
pie on the island, and it will take some
time to get stable government and until
they do, think, as a matter of humanity,
we should keep a force of troops there
to preserve order. When we have demand
ed possession of those islands for security
for the payment of indemnity, and have
those islands and have kept Cuba for the
sake of order, 1 think We should then let
them go.
Il do not believe in colonial expansion
at all. 1 think Hawaii stands in different
circumstances. My objections to colonial
expansion are twofold. You take the Phil
ippines, Cuba and Porto Rico. There is
by force, just as England manages Egypt,
South Africa and India to a great extent
/ do not see how we could initiate that
kind of colonial government without chang
ing our theories of government.
I'm SO far as the Philippines are con-
cerned, especially. it seems to that it
would be a black eye to the Monroe doc
trine.
1T seems to me that the best way We
could make our civilization of value to
others is by example and not by force. We
could make it valuable to the world a great
deal better by example than by appropri-
ating territory.
IF it had been proposed in Congress the
first of January to appropriate the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba l believe 1t
would have been voted down four to one.
Yet the war has developed such conditions
that great many men in Congress as
we'll as out of it are beginning to think
that colonial expansion is before US. There
is very different sentiment in Congress
than there was at that time.
Il think George Washington's advice is
as sound today as it was when 1t was
given, to avoid all alliances. At the same
time l believe in an arbitrating tribunal
to settle all disputes between the two ma
tions. And l also believe in the closest
kind of intercourse between them 1 think
a formal alliance would expose us to the
possibilities of controversies with other na-
tionS."

BLANCO NOW CUT OFF,
Cannot Communicate With the Spcn-

Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal officer
cabled instructions to his officers in San
tiago to seal up and place a guard over
the three cable lines connecting Santiago
with Cienfuegos, whence, by a land line,
communication is established with Havana
These orders have been carried into effect
The closing of the Cisnfuegos cables alb
soiuteiy isolates Havana and Gen. Dlanco
from Madrid. Blauco's only means of COM
municating with the Madrid government
now is by the Key West cable, which is
under the strtctest censorship by the gov
ernment of the United States.
AS result of the sealing of the San
tiago-Cienfuegos cables, several cipher dis
patches passing between Gen. Blanco and
the Spanish government have drifted into
this country. 1t Is scarcely necessary to
say that they did not reach their destina-
ton.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

1t is a common thing now for mixed
carloads of fruit to be shipped from North
Yakima. Last year during the busy sea
son such car WAS shipped every other
day by local firm, thus enabling small
growers to market their fruit without
paying the heavy tribute required by the
express companies. This arrangement
is the result OF legislation enacted two
years ago by the fusion parties, and has
been the means of marketing thousands
of dollars worth of Yakima produce that
would otherwise have gone to waste.
1t may he that the much desired plan
of government ownership Of railroads will
not be adopted in the near future, but it
should ever be kept in the front as one
OF the most vital reforms to he striven
for. In the meantime railroad leesla.
ton can be had improving the present
condition very materially.
In this state we need law regulating
passenger and freight rates, and the peo
pile expect the next legislature to give
the desired relief, and they have a right
to expect it. Yakima elects a represent.
alive this fall and joins with Kittitas in
sending a senator. These two men must
be absolutely trustworthy on this ques.
ton; no others need apply. There is nc
hope of relief from the republican party

Wilson around his neck. The duty is on
the shoulders of the fusion parties to

he be wise he will profit thereby. "But
he is absent" says the Republic, "and
gentlemen should speak no i'll of the

ters absent. Are they exempt from criti,

Captain Scudder can best serve his
country by fulfilling his duty to his sol,

let their bows go under him. He will
have to face their mothers and fathers

REASON ENOUGH.

There are several reasons why the
election OF a republican legislature should
be prevented this fall. The Cofax Com
moner believes every effort should be
bent in this direction if for no other
reason than to pre- vent the return of John
l.. Wilson to the U. S. senate.
He is set down on as a man with no
marked ability except AS politician,
leg work rather than brain work. He
has been efficient in running errands to
the departments but inefficient on the
floor OF the senate. His speeches have
not been as conspicuous for eloquence and
thought as for irrascibility and cheap
sarcasm. He has given more attention
to serving his friends than to serving his
state. On several occasions he has not
hesitated to vote against the interests and
wishes of his constituents in order to
strengthen his pull with the powerful
leaders of the eastern states. He is n
narrow guage politician rather than q
broad gauge statesman. His men
tai qualities are no more conspicuous
than his physical. He is too small a
man to represent this great state at
Washington. There are far ADLER and bet
ter qualified men in the republican party
but they stand no chance against the
Wilson machine.

4 GEM.

William ]. Bryan used the following
beautiful words as part of an eulogv on
the death of friend: IF the Father
desires to touch with divine power the
cold and pulseless heart of the buried
acorn, and make it burst forth from it's
prison walls, will He leave neglected the
soul of man who was made in the image
of bis creator? If He stoops to give the
rose bush, whose withered blossoms float
upon the autumn breeze, the sweet as
surance OF another spring time, will He
withhold the words Of hope from the
souls of men when the frosts of winter
come? If matter, mute and inanimate,
though changed by the forces of nature
into multitude of forms, can never die,
will the spirit OF man suffer annihilation
after it has paid brief visit, like a royal
guest to this tenement of clay? Rather
let us believe that lie who in his ap-
parent prodgalty wastes not the rain
drop, the grass or the evenings signing
zephyr, but makes them all to carry out
His eternal plans, has given immortality
to the mortal, and has gathered TO Him
self the generous spirit of our friend"

A CURSE TO THE PEOPLE.

has been adopted. The experience OF

and 30 similar that persons who have
the gold monometalists in all civilized
lands have formed conspiracy to APP
propriste the products OF industry to a
ruling class.
A cyclone OF disasters has followed the
establishment of the gold standard. 1t
does not matter under what form of gov
eminent or what the intellectual standing
of the people, the adoption of the single
gold standard has in every instance par
alyzed the business industries of the
country. 1t will be remembered that
only a iew years ago Japan WAS on the
route to an advanced position among the
nations. The japanese, after their vie
tory over China, were inclined to outlaw
silver and adopt the gold standard.
Bankruptcy, poverty and financial ruin
| are their reward.
Chile was in the lead OF all the govern
vancing in wealth and prosperity less
faster than any other country in South
America She had sound financial sys
ten, consisting of silver, gold and paper
money. She came out of her war with
Peru, and Japan got the best of China
and both were compelled to borrow
money to meet war expenses. They were
induced bv gold bug consirators to adop
the gold standard. British India, witt
her hundreds OF millions of population
has always had silver money. In com
ing to the gold basis the contraction o
the money volume which must follow
will cause unparalleled distress.
Gold standard advocates insist tina
national prosperity depends upon havn,
