HowTHAT ALLIANCE ENrANGLEs.

All governments are watching with
interest the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm to
Queen Victoria, and are anxious to
know the arrangements that will be
made in secret conferences between the
Kaiser and the English premier But
Americans are especially interested.
Heretofore this nation could look on
and quietly smile when European mon
archs met and imagined they were
shaping the destinies of all the coun-
tries on the face of the globe. We
were free and Independent then. Greed
and lust had not broken out in high
places and the mere suggestion of ap-
plying the doctrine of Imperialism to
this country was counted as high trea-
son. The United States had planted it.
self firmly on the Monroe doctrine and
secure in its own prowess, though de-
string trouble with no one, the people
remained at peace. But things have
changed now.
Out of little furry incident to
spanking fourth-class monarchy
grew an alliance with another mon
archy greater than any other in Eu-
rope, and trouble has been rampant
ever since. Out of that alliance grew
the purchase of the Philippines at a
rate that Tom Reed says amounted
to about 10 cents an acre for the land
and 81 a head for the natives. That
was the first product of the combine.
1t Is claimed that it is not an alliance,
but big hearted America did not offer
sympathy to the Beers, who are fight
ing England for their liberty. The
American people, in their heart of
hearts, hope the Beers will win their
independence. They have shown their
capability to govern themselves and are
as far along in that regard as were our
forefathers. But the government at
Washington could not offer a word of
sympathy to a people struggling for
liberty, for it is in the dispicable bus
mess itself of subjugating a people at
the muzzle of gun.
The American people, as people, are
not objecting to an alliance with all
English speaking people, wherever
found, but they are objecting to being
tied up with a monarchy without their
consent or knowledge. This is a re-
public and the peopl- in it are free.
Nobody is born better than anybody
else in this country. If England wants
to embrace our free notions and our
form of government there might be
some sense in forming an alliance with
her, If only to bring other nations into
the same situation by example and pre-
cept. But an alliance with a monarchy
is f-reign to the institutions of this
country and is not to be tolerated We
do not believe England has as good
a government as we have despite Sena-
tor Hanna's statement to the contrary.
Because fellow is big enough in one
political party that represents a mi
nority of all the people to boss it, is
no reason why the people as
a whole should permit him or his politi-
cal manufactured article to saddle a
on us. That there is an alli-
ance, no one who has watched the trend
of events doubts. 1t will bear watch
ing. And while watching it the fact
should not be overlooked that the Dem
ocratic party stands pledged to oppose
all such disturbing entanglements.

Washington, Nov. 22.--Admiral Dew
ey has at last unbosomed himself, in
regard to the transfer of the gift
house to his wife. In an interview, ex-
planning the transfer, he showed sor-
row, and at times, resentment, over the
manner in which his action had been
received. when I made over this
house to my wife," said the admiral,
IT thought I was doing the most gra-
cious act that an American gentleman
could do. 1t seems that I was mis-
taken. Mrs. Dewey understood better
than I did the feelings of the people,
and at first declined to permit the house
to be transferred to her. She did con-
sent only after an arrangement had
been effected whereby not only the
house, which was the gift to me Of the
American people, but her entire per-
sonal fol tune, which is considerable,
was to ultimately go to my son George.

applauded me, could so suddenly turn
on me. Where was hero two months
