DR.. conaty Against Imperialism.


New York. Nov 81, 1S9S.-Rev. DR..
Thomas J. Conaty, rector Of the Catho-
lie University in Washington. in the
course of his address at Williamsburg
last night said: at was never intended
in our scheme of government that we
should become imperialists for terrific
ry. and no Imperialism should be rec
ognized except the imperialism of ideas
in self governmental and the imperialism
that comes with trade. We have no
mission to settle the political differ
ences of the world, except by advice
and example-never as conquerors.
Large standing armies are the accom-
paniments and the curse of absolutism;
there is no place for them in democ
racy. We have serious vital problems
to work out among ourselves. Let us
fear an increased greed Of power. There
is danger in departing from our ideals
and allowing grasping syndicates and
political adventurers to lead us into
the governing of people who are as
much entitled to self-government as
we are. Colonies and alliances are for
egn to the ideals of American govern
ment"

Suggests IA Remedy.

at seems to me. after giving the
matter a great deal of thought. that
the Republicans in congress will have
to examine the subject thoroughly, and
whenever they lind trust is depend
ing for its exorbitant profits largely
on protective duties it will be the duty
of Republican congressman and SEN
ators to remove the duties at once. We
can not stop short of that. The duties
must be repaid when it is shown that
the trusts are benefiting by them. This
should be done with the duty on steel
rails and on tin plate. We can make
steel rails at a fair profit cheaper
than anywhere else in the world and
the present price is outrageous. The
Republican party may win at the polls
in 1900 because of the remarkable
achievements of our army and navy
in the last two years, but Legislation
against trusts should not be delayed
on that account.
when | was in the senate | did my
best to advocate heavy duty on i'm
ported tin plate. 1 believed that we
should establish and build UP the in
dustry, the same as the iron and steel
industry had been built up. That was
the right thing to do. and the results
have justified the course adopted then.
But those duties are now being used to
put the prices of tin plate up. There
fore the only thing to do now is to
withdraw the protective duty. have
no motive in this matter save that OF
a good citizen, a good Republican and
a lover of my country. The attention
of the press and the public should be
called to the existing conditions.

an enormous profit. The result Of it
all will be a tremendous collapse, and
it will come good deal quicker than
most people think When the tumble
comes it will be general. If only the
promoters suffered it would be all
right, but the crash viii carry pretty
much everything with it. and the in
nocent will suffer along with the
guilty.
The natural conditions today ars
better than ever before With large
balance of trade in our favor prosperi-
ty should continue for long time.

ally interested in two milling COM
panies. the Pillsbury- Washburn and
the Washburn- Crosby We were not
making large money, but doing well
and getting fair return on our in
vestment. The other mills were not
doing so we'll, owing to lack of capi-
tai. Along comes this man Mcintyre of
New York with his trust proposition
We didn't go into it. but the others
did. The only concern that went in
the trust that was making any money

The trust is paving enormous salaries

1t cannot last two years. The securi-
ty holders will then be the real suf-
ferers. as the promoters will be safely
out by that time. The concerns that
have not paid anything in 10 years
and have gone into the trust with an
enormous capital will not be able to
stand up when the pinch comes.
There is one thing that greatly dis
turbs me. The Republican party.
whether justly or unJustly, is associ-
ated with trusts in the minds of the
masses. As a party we have reached
a crisis where we have got to call A
halt. The Republican party has got
to disconnect itself from trusts. 1t has
got to do something more than to
adopt reform planks against trusts It
has got to put forth its full strength
and legislate against them. The feel
ing against the trust idea is intense
in the west r. is so intense in the
Republican party that the party will
break ranks unless something is done
The undertow of sentiment in the
western states against trusts is not
understood in the east. The revolt
may strike us as early as next year.

Death in a Burning Barn.

Henry Lannlng, aged about "a
years of Luzerne county, met horri-
BILE death Monday afternoon during a
severe storm. He had just driven the
last three horses into the barn and
was taking off their harness when the
barn was struck by lightning and the
three horses were killed. The bolt
set the barn on fire and the wind
quickly swept the flames all over the
barn.
Augustin Lanning, his father, and
others in the house, ran to the scene
and saw the three horses lying dead
on the floor, while the young man lay
under one of the horses struggling to
free himself and shrieking for help, for
masses of blazing hay were all around
him. The father tried to reach him,
but was driven back by the flames.
Then others tried, but were driven
back. Gradually the young mans
cries ceased, and soon after the barn
fell in. Three houis after the fire
started the body was recovered.

Manila Not Dead.

The private soldiers lot in the
Philippines may not be bed of roses
but reports from civilians connected
with expeditions make Manila out a
very decent sort of place. a Chicago
boy, whose connection with the gov
ernment gives him a "pull," writes
that life is far from unpleasant in our
new possessions.
He and two other Americans are
keeping house They have Chinese
cook, who does all the marketing
They pay him $I4o a month, which
is equal to about SOS in American
money, and he feeds them well and
makes his profit out of the sum. Each
OF the Americans had a "black boy
to whom he pays $3.50 a month.
These boys do pretty much everything
except eat, and sleep and breath, for
their masters. Before the Americans
arrived their wages were $3.50 but
prices have risen. Everything is
bought flesh in the morning and eaten
the same day in order not to attract
flies and ants. Frozen meat was
delivered at eight cents pound.
The weather is not terrific, at least
at certain seasons. In May, for in
stance, at six p. m. the mercury
always stood at about Sc. During the
night it went down to IS. At noon
1t was from oI to os, and something
like rs to 100 in the sun. Ameri-
cans have to be careful about expos
ure in the middle of the day, but the
writer said he had been out with a
camera without injurious effects.
Any indulgence IN alcholic drinks,
Notwithstanding the prevalence of the
whiskey and soda habit, is dangerous.
Good water is hard to get however.
The city water is boiled and filtered,
and even then is used only in coffee
and for cooking. Dependence is placed
almost entirely on bottled waters.
AS to dress, all sorts of costumes
are in evidence. Three white suits a
day is the regular allowance. An or
dinary, common American "boiled
Shirt" with a stiff bosom, can be worn
OF tside the trousers. A collar is
necessary but no necktie. Hats and
shoes are white. Mosquito nettings
are vitality important in every estab-
lishment.
The conclusions of the writer seem
to be that the American can live in
comfort in Manila. provided he has
means and takes care of himself

of Nona," by Maurice Hewlett. This is an
Italian story of the picturesque and dramatic
days of Cesar Borga. A young English girl
Of simple birth ascends the Ducal throne of
Mona and is wretched in her rich surround
ings. The passion of an Italian lover brings
on a crisis which has the charm Of a great
stage picture. Mr.. Hewlitt's handling of
the plot is mastery, and his power has never
been so evident as in this magnificent scene.
The short fiction of the month is made
timely and brilliant by story OF Mrs.

profit.
"Donald Murray's Romance" by f. F..

a humorous story of Sundays forbidden
fishing in Virginia that will be found quaint
and enjoyable.
