 Spain held the low countries. This then is the position of our boasted land of liberty standing there as the Romans stood, sword in hand, over subject colony. How has the wheel of time turned us back to the base spirit of greed and conquest!
 'In plain English. we are in the Philip pines on tho highwayman's plea that might makes right' If 1t is wrong to sub- due them with thirty thousand men, it Is quite wrong to do 1t with one hundred thousand men, The position of those who admit that the war Is unjustifable and who yet hold that we must keep on until the natives are subdued, or exterminated, is strangely illogical. Moreover, 1t is directly contrary to the very principles on which the party in power was established In 1S54 the Ostend Manifesto of our ministers Buchanan, Mason and Soule) in Europe, advised that Cuba be bought. if the price was refused, then take it by force. Where upon the republican national platform In 1856 resolved that tho highwoyman's rlea that might makes right erlbodie1 in tho Ostend circular, was in every respect un- worthy of American diplomacy and would bring sham and dishonor upon any eov- ernnent or people that gave 1t their sano- ton.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 DISCUSSES THE STRIKE
Voted s1O0 to the Striking Miners at Brookwood Plans Formulated
 for Their Relief

The executive committee of the Alabama division, United Mine Workers of America, held a meeting in this city yesterday to discuss several matters of importance to the organization. The full committee was present consisting of President George Young, Vice-President s. P. Cheathams of Blocton; Secretary Clemo. of Adger, Jake Lillick, of Belle Ellen; A. H. Gentry, of Blocton; William Kirkpatrick of Pratt; and William Mckenzie, of Adger.
 The strike of the miners at Brookwood was taken up and discussed in full, and an appropriation of S100 from the assoclation's funds was made for their support. It was also recommended that each local in the state assess each of it's members the value of one ton of coal during the next month, the money thus received to be appropriated and sent to the relief of the Brookwood miners. If this plan is accepted by all of the locals, about $23,OOO a month will be realized.
 The strike at Henry Ellen was discussed, and it was insisted that the price there should be 21s cents below Pratt; in other words, 5219 cents ton. It is said that Price & Stephens, the operators, are will
  but not with the miners themselves. The committee insisted that the three men which the operators discharged without cause shall be reinstated; also that if the operators wish to employ men by the day, they must be paid the full day scale which at Henry Ellen Is $2.70 per day.
 The president, the vice-president and the secretary were given the authority to em- ploy an attorney in behalf of tine associa- ton whenever they thought one necessary, but the committee would not adopt the idea or having permanent lawyer.
 It was decided to push the work of or- ganization of the mine workers in Walker county as vigorously as possible, now that all Of the troubles In Jefferson were in a fair way to be settled. The committee has the assurance that a member of the ntional executive committee will be sent to this state to assist in the work of organiz- Ing.
 A. IT. Gentry of the state executive com- mittee has just organized a local lodge at clements, Tuscaloosa county, with fifty-one members. Another one will be organized at Meylene on Monday, which will give the mine workers control of all mines in Shelby county.
 A. J. o'Keefe, editor of the Arbitrator, the official organ of the Knights of Labor, returned to this city last night from Walker county, where he and J. w. Ev ans, the president of the organization of this state, spent yesterday at big gather ing of miners held at Nauvoo. Not only the miners of Nauvoo, but those from Gamble, Galloway and other mines We're present, and the day was a most enjoyable one. Both Mir. Evans and MT. O'Keefe talked to the labor assemblage on lapor questions.
 MT. Evans did not return to Birmingham, but stopped at Jasper and Corona. He also has call to go to Halloway at once, on account of some differences that exist at those mines.

IMPERIALISM

 and then you will but fafntly picture the situation created by the possession of Ma lay states and territories The imagination of man is not able to conceive it all. Then why not in all common sense, remember that God has entrusted to us, as light to be kept burning for the oppressed through out the world, the greatest experiment of free government known to the human race, and let us not cast away this sacred trust for mess of pottage in the Philippine s- lands.
 'rhen we come to the alternative of in- perialism, pure and simple. But they tell us we have not adopted imperialism; that congress has not yet acted on that problem. But since conquest Is in actual progress, why has congress not been called to decide upon our policy? The present policy of the United States today in it's acts and words could not be more clearly imperial istic than il Is. Let us strip all disguises aside. What is the crux of the present situation in the Philippines? Why do we not grant independence to the Filipnos under our protection, as we have to the Cubans? The moment that this is done the war will end. The country will be ex- tricated from all its embarrassments, and our brave army will De saved f. om decemi- hating disease in a deadly climate How l wish, in all kindness of heart. and with successful persuasion, we might preach that policy to the white house. and ask in the name of a Christian nation for its adoption.
 linen, why in the name of wisdom and statecraft do we refuse any and all terms to the Filipinos except unconditional sur render? In that resides the head and front of all the offending to the American sense of right and fair play, and to our sympathy with race fighting for it's liberty We must infer from repeated acts that our gov ernment has no intention whatever of giy- ing the Filipinos their independence. challege anyone to mention word or an act which even squnts at such a policy. Then let us not mince words. Conquest is what we purpose in the Philippines We are out for additional territory and trade on no higher plane of morals than the wolf after food in the sheep fold.
 Imperialism Pure and Simple
 "These acts tako for granted the whole Ques ton at issue. It is imperialism pure and simple. It Is being acted on day by day. Are we babies, that we can be put off with soothing deceptions, when our eyes and ears cannot deceive us? Here Is great and awful responsibility assumed by the executive. Without calling congress to- gcther, the essential element of imperialism Is assumed whom we send troops to put down another race which is struggling for liberty. What was it but genuine love for. liberty which led many of our people first to sympathize and then 10 fight for the Cubans against Spain? Why are we stul- tifying ourselves by eating our words and exactly reversing our policy In the Philip pines?
 Tt Is tricky and unfair to plunge us into

Forenoon.

There was a splendid afternoons rae
ing at the park yesterday, every one
of the events being a contest, except
the 2:20 three-year-old pace, IN Whlcn
P. II. Quinns John A. had walk
over. The only favorite that won IN
the five other races was the mare Lot
tie in the 2:22 trot for $1,000. All the
others went down to defeat.
The attendance, while not big, was
above the average for the third day,
and the betting ring was well patron
lied. The same delightful weather that
had prevailed for many weeks was still
in evidence, greatly to the comfort or
visitors from sea-coast localities, where
it is always cool.
President A. B. Spreckels of the State
Agricultural Society was in the Judges
stand for the first time since the meet
ing opened, and besides Director J. w.
Wilson, the presiding judge, Directors
Covey, Barrett and others lent their
presence and aid in seeing that every
thing passed off smoothly.
But one nag put in an appearance for
the 2:20 pace for three-year-old and
under. It was P. Fl. Quinn's John A,
and he walked over for the small purse.
In the 2:22 trot the starters and first
heat betting were: Colonel K, r. 5 to l,
Lynall TO- Dora Doe 10, Azalia 5, Sybil
S. S, Maud Newman 3, Alix B. 5, and
Lottie to 5.
Alix led until the last stretch was
reached, with Dora Doe second by an
average of a couple of lengths. In the
last quarter Lottie left the trailers and
shot to the front, winning handily by
two lengths in 2:1994, Dora second and
Alix B. third.
| Lottie was the favorite in the second
heat at Z to 90 Colonel K. r. Z to l.
LynaH Is, Dora Doe 6, Azalia and
| Sibyl each, Maud Newman and Alix
| B. Z.
Dora Doe led all the way to the
| three quarters, Lottie second. Lynan
was third to the half, with a length
of daylight between them. At the head
of the stretch Lottie went to the front,
and coming home Colonel K. r. moved
up and challenged Dora for the place.
| Under the wire it was Lottie, Dora
and the Colonel, a half-length sep
arating them. Time-2:21.
! For the third heat Lottie was a / to
2 favorite, Colonel K. R. 2 to 1, Lynall
20, Dora s. Azalia and Sybil S. and
Alix 10 each, and Maud Newman ..
The Colonel went out as if he were
| going to win the heat He led Dora
by only a half-length into the last
stretch, where Eottie was a good third.
Now the favorite came on and out
footed both, taking the lead and win
ming in 2:1715 from the Colonel, Alix
B. beating Dora for third place.
The third was a special race for 2:l7
trotters. the starters and first heat odds
being: Mamie Riley 3 to 3, Listerine /

yesterday and last night the crowds
at the Pavilion reached high water
mark, and everybody agreed that the
State Fair will stand in history as a
grand success.
The musical and show features were
popular at the matinee and evening
performances, and the visitors from
abroad said the big show was better
than anything at the Mechanics Pa
vilion in San Francisco.
There was not a hitch in last nights
performance, and thousands of men,
women and children packed the gallery
and sat enraptured from the moment
the show began until the lights went
out
Between acts-and there were many
timely intermissions - the visitors
view the exhibits, of which there We're
hundreds of rare beauty and ingenuity.
Machinery hall got a large part of
the crowd, and the place is a living
theater of wonders. Blacksmithing was
in progress, agricultural machinery was
running, the silo loomed UP as an OBJ
ject lesson in modern farming, and
everything in the great hall was full
of interest
The Sacramento County exhibit, in
the form of an ingenious shell OF
gigantic dimensions was the center OF
general interest. 1t was oyerflowing
with grain and fruit. vegetables and
jars Of jellies, the whole aglow with
lights and beautifully ornamented with
flowers and pampas grasses, until from
that small display the mind could read
lily build a great area of growing
things.
The poultry show and smoking an
mex adjoining it were favorite resorts
for thousands. The ducks, geese and
chickens this year are very fine.
One of the pleasant surprises is in the
fancywork department. In spite of the
low premiums and other drawbacks,
the gallery cases are well filled with
varied display of interesting fancy
work
Fruits in various states Of growth
vegetables, jams jellies and the many
products of CALIFORNIA; great growing
areas are in evidence in many fine
