The New piekald Political Party.

1t was to be expected that de-
parture from national traditions 50
great as that involved in our reten-
ton of the conquered colonies of
Spain should arouse some opposi-
ton; but few Of us were prepared
for the strange union of cr:nks and
fanatics which this opposition has
welded into a new party. Extre-
mists of every political denomina-
ton have raised their voices in
varying degrees of shriIIness
against a policy which the great
mass of the American nation regards
as natural and logical out growth
of conditions and circumstances be-
yond human control; and though
this motley group is great neither
in numbers nor strength, it is so
picturesque that it commands atten-
ton. The Puritan Parkhurst, the
aeronaunt Bryan, the misanthropic
Hale, the canny Carnegie, the pet
ulant Godkin, the unabashed
Debbs, the incorruptibIc Vest, ct
hoe genus omme, have inaugurated
IA campaign Of virulent protest
and wordy warfare against the
wave of national sentiment which
is sweeping over the country and
sending sympathetic ripples
throughout the entire Anslo-Sa
on world. That this variagated op-
position is inspired by what in
courtesy may be termed its con-
scientious convictions we need not
question. That It's vigorous and
blatant character is largely due to a
recognition of It's own numerical
inslgn;!icance is more than proha-
bic, though most OF these ''!ittle
Americans have hitherto done
much talking for the sake Of hear

THE President has stated that

The President has stated that
his policy on the/ Philippine ques-
ton was to let Congress deal with
the matter. All along the Demo
cratic papers have been scoring the
President for not announcing some
distinctive policy as to the final dis
position of these islands. When an
executive head of free government
forces upon the people a policy re-
sultant from individual opinion he
becomes dictator and the will of
the people is thus held at naught.
President Mckinley has again
shown his wisdom by demonstrate
ing that he believes the people, S
representatives in Congress should
settle the Philippine question.

THERE will never be an ''impe-
rial'' America in the sense that tho
Bryanite press seeks to imply tho
term, for all the best instincts, as
well as the most cherished tradl-
tions, of the American people, OF
whatever political complexion they
may be, arc opposed to anything
that smacks of government by op-
preston; but greater America
there will and must be. 1t can
not be otherwise. 1t is the destiny
of the nation to carry its freedom,
civilization and enlightenment
wherever it's people find Judgement.
The prescribed limits Of our own
immediate confines should not be
made barrier against the spread
of the free institutions we chi joy,
neither should the protesting voice
of barbarism restrain us from our
duty in the direction in which the
fnge, of destiny points. Ameri-
canism means political, social and
religious freedom, admittedly the
greatest vehicle for the spread of
civilization as we'll as the greatest
boon that can be conferred to man
kind. 'Imperial'' America, we
hail thee. Let not thy mission
be retarded by the narrowness OF
party politics.

A REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The book trust received another
blow recently in the House when
the minority report Of the commit
tee on education was adopted, fa-
vorable to the bill introduced by
Harrison, Rep, OF Crawford, to
repeal the provision in the school
book law, under which no text
book can be used in the public
schools OF Missouri other than
those contracted for by the school
book commission, and to repeal
the penalty clause.
The Democrats on the committee
were unanimously in opposition to
Harrisons bill. Hauicr, of Worth,
made a strong fight in the commit
tee against book trust, but without
avail. Young, of Caldwell, voted
with Haubcr and the two Republi-
cans brought in a minority report.
OFallon, of Holt, and Jones, of
Howell, made strong speeches in
support of the minority report.
1t was declared by more than one
member that money had been used
in the last legislature to corrupt
the members and secure the enact
ment of the most vicious law that
had disgraced the statutes of Mis-
souri,. Several Democrats spoke
for the school law as it stands. but
when the vote was taken they came
over to the majority. Hauber' S
report was adopted, 116 to ,.
Myers and Ransdell, Democratic
members of the committee, chang
ed their votes from nay to aye.
The Democratic members of the
committee stated that their object
in reporting adversely was to pig
con hole the bill and to prevent a
debate against the book trust on
the floor of the House.
This is the first fight begun and
won by the Republicans of the
House.-kansas City journal.

competition means the ruin OF

production was entirely dependent
