world has ever seen. This is America,
and President Mckinley, has with
astard hand tried to reach out and
place the awful yoke of our civilization
and our laws upon the necks of semi
barbarous people. He would enslaye
them with American liberty. He would
force them to become educated and
self-respecting. 1t is the crime of the
century. AS a christian people we
should leave these people to their
nakedness both of mind and body, we
should leave them to ruin and riot and
bloodshed and ignorance for such is
their idea of liberty"
And you. dear reader, if you happen
ed to hear such a speech would see the
hollowness and hypocrisy of it all. 1t
is the old combat of Liberty against
License. tits but the continuation of
the old conflict of Right against Wrong
and in the fight many peoples and
many nations must did, but the hand
OF God is in it all. 1t is but the old
bible story of the servant who used his
talent and the servant who did not.
And you will remember that the faith
full servant was made to be ruler over
many, and we do not remember that
the consent of the governed was asked
America has been faithful to it's
ideals, it has progressed materially and
spiritually, and you can no more limit
the etfulgent CLEAN of its civilization
than you can limit the radiance OF the
sun. We may stick our heads i'm the
sand and imagine with the ostrich that
we are unseen, but we cannot, nor is it
in Gods province that we should hide
our light under bushel. America has
mission, a mission wider than con-
tinent, a mission that reaches round
the globe, and from pole to pole, and in
to the great beyond.

is very close and we believe a good re-
publican can be be elected. In the
third ward it is said that Mr.. Scaggs
will not be candidate on the demo
cratic ticket. This ward is naturally
republican. but by very close margin,
and it oehooves the republicans to nom
mate the best and most available man
regardless of personal interests.
For ity attorney we would suggest
the nomination of some one of our
young republican attorneys; they are
fully competent, and the solicitorship
may help tide them over those clean
years" which every attorney has to 60
through.
And now republicans let us all pull
together. put up splendid ticket and
elect it by the biggest republican ma
jority ever given in Denison.

The City Election.

In this issue we publish the mayor
election proclamation. 1t is important
to every citizen that we have good and
trustworthy officials, and it is import
ant to the republicans that the officials
be republican. This is republican
city and it is reflection upon our
party unity that we still have a demo-
cratic administration. There are brains
and honesty enough in the republican
party to give DenisoD the best city gov
eminent it has ever had. The city ad.
minlstratlon was basely betrayed sew
eral years ago, and it is time that it
should get back into the hands of the
majority party. This can easily be
done if the republicans will all turn
out to the polls and take an active in
terest in the election of their ticket.
As will be noticed by the proclamation
each ward has an alderman to elect.
The retiring aldermen are: First
Ward, Samuel Luney (rep.); Third
Ward, Harry Scaegs (dem.); Second
Ward, f. o. Ivens, (dem). We do not
know as yet whether Mr.. Luney de-
sires denomination. If he does he
should receive it, for he has made a
FAITHFUL and able member OF the
council. Mr.. Lyens will in all PROBABLE
ity stand for denomination at the
hands Of his party. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Ivens expects to succeed Mr..

Mrs. Harrington Dies of the Dread Dis
ease. Another Case Reported.-
CIosed.-No Public Amusements
Special Vail Correspondence

Special Vail Correspondence.)
This community was shocked Satur-
day morning by the report OF the death
OF Mrs. Andy Harrington of diphtheria.
1t seems she was taken sick with pneu-
monia, but the fore part of the week 1T
developed into diphthelia and Friday
she was reported very low. DIR. Wright
of Carroll was called in consultation
with DIR. Fitzgerald and all possible
was done for the patient. but she pass.
ed away Saturday morning at six
o'clock, and was quietly buried Satur-
day afternoon in the st. AIMS GENE
tary.
On account of the contagious dis.
ease Of which SHE died every precaution
was taken, and all were deprived of at
tending the funeral of one who was
we'll and healthy only few days before
and one who was loved and respected
by the entire community. A loving
wife and a kind mother, she leaves a
husband and two children to mourn her
loss. Her sister. Miss O'Connell, from
i
Marcus, arrived Sunday, but was too
late 10 view the remains.
| Early Saturday morning the board of
health of Vail and West Side townships
was called in special session and de-
cided to take every precaution in re-
gard to the matter, and all who had
been exposed in any way were ordered
quarantined. This order included sew
eral families in the Harrington neigh
borhood and one in town. No other
cases have developed at this writing ex-
cept at the Adam Short home where a
case in light form was reported 10 the
board.
School was also ordered closed and
parents notified to keep their children
at home. The Larson entertainment
for Saturday night was also dispensed
with and everyone is trying to do all in
their power to stamp out this dread
disease. 1t is hoped no new cases will
break out and that the worst is over.

Expansion.

We believe in common with the
democratic press that there is danger
in imperialism. We do not dispute this
question but we differ with them as to
what imperialism is. We do not desire
to see the United States become a
military nation, but it is absurd to see
any alarming portent in the fact that
1T is desired to create an army of SO 600
men. Less than one soldier to every
thousand inhabitants. Even our quiet
city has this percentage of peace officers
and we have not noticed that our peo-
pie are particularly oppressed by the
minions of the law. Our democratic
contemporary has urged that we need
additional police force, and yet itraises
its voice in unrighteous indignation
when armeager army of less than man
to thousand is asked to police the ma
ton.
We are long ways from 'simperial-
ism," and no one desires state OF
things such as the real meaning of the
word implies, less than does the repub-
lican party.
The fact is that the cry CT imperial
ism is but the ghost of states rights,
and is undoubtedly obnoxious to those
who have always looked upon the un-
ion as loose confederation of states.
There is no more danger of imper-
ialism involved in the holding of the
Philippines than in the holding of Alas
ka. The danger to our institutions is
much less than if we had absorbed
some strong civilization.
A strong civilization might have
great effect upon our institutions.
For instance, should we come into pos
session of the Canadas. we would find
that we had come into contact with
strong intellectual people. a people of
intelligence who through custom and
tradition hold many views contrary to
our own. 1t is not improbable that
such commlngling would have Il
marked influence upon American
thought and American institutions.
If, however the institutions of America
are going to be influenced and polluted.
by the Malay civilization of the Philip
pines, it is time that American instltu
tons should die. and if they are so
weak and so easily affected they soon
will die of their own accord.
1t is the desire OF the president and
of the majority of the American peo-
pie, to restore order to our new posses
sions and to bring them as rapidly as
possible to higher civilization, and as
near as possible to the enjoyment of
American liberties and American in
situations. We can imagine some of |
our democratic orators on the celebIa-
ton of the Glorious Fourth. "Amer
ica.' they will say, lis the grandest of
nations. See its myriad happy homes,
see the busy towns and marts, the fer
tile fields, the comfortable homes. and
better than all these sea the men and
women, look into their intelligent faces

A Word For Iowa.

A few of the democratic papers of
Iowa, particularly the Dubuque Herald
and Denison Bulletin, have criticised
Governor Shaw tor not speaking of
IOwa's resources before the Maaufac
turers' Association in New York. The
Davenport Democrat, while il does not
agree with Governor Shaw, contains a
half column editorial endorsing his
course and the strength of his speech.
We quote few sentences as follows:
1.-THE Herald may be right, and again
it may mot be. Governor Shaw was
billed tor a speech Oh certain lines. He
was advertised, AS he had been invited
to talk on the money question.
1T May strike the Dubuque Herald
that this was exactly the time and
place for the governor of Iowa to
launch out upon a panegyric upon the
advantages of this state for producing
line OF goods III which the association
which he was invited to address feels
little interest, but we can't quite see it
that way. 1t looks TO us as though the
governor of Iowa had given his state a
better advertisement IN doing Just
what he did-making the speech he was
esShCu duN CApCCC0u w ludhc-UldL lit
could have gwen with ALL the billboard
work he could have done in purely
selfish and commercial line. 1t was a
greater card for Iowa that her governor
was asked to 90 to New York and
make an address of 10000 words on the
money standard. and that he did it, up
to the handle, that if he went there for
that purpose and then made long
cared specimen of himself by blowing
his own horn, unwelcome and out OF
season.
'.'rhe people of Iowa ought to be
thankful that their governor is not
lacking in fairly well developed sense
of the eternal fitness of things
We suggest that these are kind words
coming from an opposition press.
A few days after the Brooklyn speech
Governor Shaw responded to an ad-
dress OF welcome before the Inter State
Farmers Convention at Vicksburg,
Miss. This afforded an opportunity to
speak of lOwa's resources. Elsewhere
we publish the speech, which received
much favorable comment from many
sources. both democratic and republic
can.

RESOLVE. AGAINST ROBERTS.

Against Seating Polygamst in

Congress.
The following resolutions were unani.
mousiy adopted by the Galland's Grove
district quarterly conference OF the l..
u. S. church, held at Dow City, Iowa,
Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25 and 2s
WHEREAS, The state of Utah, is re-
ported to have elected a polygamist, III
the person of b. Ii. Roberts, to repre-
sent lit in the congress of the United
States, therefore be it
Resolved. That we, as religious
body OF believers in Christ, known as
the Galland's Grove district of the Re
organized Church OF Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, in delegate confer
ence assembled at Dow City. Iowa,
this 25th day of February, A. ID. 1869,
representing one thousand citizens of
northwestern Iowa, do hereby earnest
4 ly protest against one guilty of the
crime OF polygamy, or plural marriage
or unlawful Capitalization, being seated
and retained as legislator in the
House of Representatives of the United
States.
Resolved, further, that we have nc
contention against Mr.. Roberts as a
man, and believe that the mere ques.
tion of his religious belief should not
prejudice the case against him; and we
hold that anything contrary to the code
of good morals, or which is opposed tC
the laws of our country, should be held
to be criminal, and should debar any
aspirant who is compromised thereby
from seat in the National Congress.
