For some months past, the republi-
can press Of Kansas has been in the
habit of printing quite bit of Barney
Sheriadau's editorials, but We venture
to say they will scarcely copy the fol-
lowing: 'The republican party is
wrong on the expansion question;
wrong in its financial system; wrong
in its support of trusts; wrong-in
Kansas-in its advocacy of prohibit
ton; wrong in its extravaganza and
wrong in its tendencies towards
centralization of power in the govorn.

pitious and auspicious time for demo

WHEN the republican press lolls out
its tongue and bays ''copperhead"
and treason" at every man who
criticises the course of the administra
ton in trying to force upon an un-
willing people policy of expansion
and Imperialism, it is like a fox hound
striking the trail Of cotten-tail.
The baying may fool the companion
dogs, but it does not indicate the
presence of tex. The broadminded
thinkers of the land are all opposed to
expansion and imperialism. because
they know it is not what our glorious
flag stands for; it is contary to the
Declaration of Independence aud all
other principles of freedom that have
made this republic the greatest on
earth.

JUSTICE BREWER, of the supreme
court, has the confidence of more
Kansas people than any other man in
public life. Well, here's what Justice
Brewer says about expansion: 1--WE
have lived and prospered for 123 years
with handful of regular troops. We
have preserved peace at home and
have been respected abroad. Cow
ernment by the consent of the gov
erned has little need of the soldier.
So the world has come to believe and
so it is. Are We ready to forfeit this
high position2 Are we not sowing
the seeds which in the days to come
will grow up into a harvest of trouble
for our children and our children e
children? We have 10000, 900 or
12,000,0 900 unskilled colored laborers
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Are we likely to aid in solving the
labor problem by bringing into our
national life 100000 or $4,000, 900
unskilled Malay laborers2
