Approaching Despotic Rule.

Imperialism in Cuba develops the
usual thing. General Wood at Santi.
ago has issued an order to al editor in
that place who referred to President
Mckinley as a ''conspirator, "informing
him that "a repetition of the offense
would mean suppression of the paper
and Jail for the editor" We are trav-
cling a rapid gait in the direction OF
despotic rule, but it is the never fail

What Hanna Has Not Learned

Senat Hanna declares the Ameri-

Will bring them prosperity and happy
homes and then passes to discussing
Imperialism as one of the things they
will approve. If MIR. Hanna would de-
vote a small share of his attention tO
finding out what the people think he
might learn that a war of conquest in
the Philippines has not made any chap

and not until a number of stur-
dy western governors called a halt
did the administration assure us
that the volunteers would be mus
tered out. OF course, this was not
"upholding the administration" but
1T was RIGHT, nevertheless.
Millions have failed 10 ''nphold
the administration" in protesting
against the usurpation of power by
William Mckinley in prosecuting a
a against a foreign people with
out the sanction or consent of con-
gress, invading their soil and subiu-
eating them through the "civiliz-
ing influences of the sword, bayo-
net and Gatling gun. They did not
desire to "uphold the administra-
tlon' at the cost OF throwing owe
board the principles of the national
constitution at that time, nor are
they ready to do it now.
Summed up in its true sense, this
hue and cry about ''upholding the
administration" means the t~olerac-
ing OF Huidekoferism, with all it's
hideous and fatal results, for the
administration was responsible for
that crime against our volunteer
soldiery; it mean the approval of
Algerism, Eganism and the en-
balmed beef horrors, in details so
revolving that they shocked the civ
lllzed world; it means the approval
Of a war of conquest which has. dark
encd the other wise bright epoch of
the Spanish-American war; it means
the Abandonment of the time-honor-
ed Monroe doctrine-one of the
safeguards Of American greatness;
it means the approval of militarism,
benevolent assimilation" a n d
criminal aggression; it means the
approval of unconstitutional acts
and encourages a further usurpa-
ton OF power by the president; it
means the approval of a policy of
bloody sacrifice made to gain new
fields of plumber for American cor
porations; it means the approval Of
a policy of conquest and the subju-
CATION of foreign peoples by force of
arms; it courts international COM
plications against which every
American statesman for a hundred
years has raised his voice in warn
ing,
Then he who cries "Disloyal' at
those whose views have here been
outlined by THE UNION exhibits a
mind too narrow to honor it posses
sor. The safety and true greatness
of our country lies in the freedom Of
opinion among its citizens and the
right to support those opinions at
the ballot box. Let US hear 70
more cries of disloyalty hurled at
those who dare criticise the acts Of
this military and imperialistic ad
ministration. It shows a smallness
of soul and narrowness Of mind un-
becoming an American. Opinions
are sacred and their expression a
right which must ever be main
tanned.

McKinley's Civil Service Order.

nligton county.
McKinley's Civil Service Order.
The more the presidents recent
civil service order is Analysed the
more fragrant the outrageous and
brazen abandonment Of principle
appears. Instead of 5000 places
not less than 5000 are to be turn
over to Mark Hanna and the re-
publican spoilsmen. A scheme Of
transfer and promotion in the gov
eminent service without examina-
ton destroys even the p~retense Of
decency and efficiency under its
operation. Already the axe is
swinging and official heads are fall
ing into the administration basket.
Every official who dares oppose
the Administrators monarchial
policies must go. Even those who
have gained their situations by the
most rigid examinations and Sc
verest test Of the true merit sys-
TEN, but who lack the political
pull, will have to give way to
Hanna's heelers.
Mckinley was nominated at. St.
Louis in 1896 by the most un-
blushing promises of political pa
tronage and the actual use Of mon
ey. He was elected president by
the most brazen debauchery Of
the ballot and by the wholesale CO.
ercion Of workingmen by corpora
ton magnates. He now helps
Hanna bride the republican party
ia his own state with positions in
the civil service. Thus he paves
the way for his second entry into
the white house by methods as
grossly corrupt in spirit al though
he plunged his arm to the shoulder
into the. public treasury and helped
himself to the public funds.
With the great metropolitan dai-
lies, with rare exceptions, con-.
trolled by the influences which
Mckinley represents, the only
hope Of getting the true situation
before the people is through the
weekly press.
The following table gives the
present status Of the places which
M Kinley has turned over to Han
na with which to buy support for
next year:

grams regarding the situation there
are suppressed by the war depart
ment. The administration, Of
course, has the true situation ca
bled to it each day, but only the
bright side is given to the people.
The plain, cold details of this
Philippine sacrifice dare not be
given out. Midnight conferences
among administration officials have
been more than frequent at the
white house during the past ten
days. Public sentiment forced
the administration into an early re-
turn OF the volunteers-or rather a
promise OF their early return. Otis
has cabled for 10000 men for ac-
tive field operations and $1,000 for
garrison duty, to hold the "paci-
fed" territory. To supply these
$4,000 men the president at one
time contemplated issuing a call
for volunteers. But this was given
up for fear it might endanger his
chances for re election next year.
To avoid this, according to Wash
ington dispatches, the following
order was sent to recruiting sta
tons throughout the country;
Washington, June Snake all
enllstments you can, infantry, cav
airy, light artillery and heavy ar
till,ry, for Philippines; select men;
urgent.
So further recruiting for this
sacrifice Of blood goes on so quiet
ly that public sentiment and pub
lie Indignation is not aroused and
the administration feels secure.
Our troops are now huddled
around Manila and the Filipinos
seem about as near as they were
three months ago. Congressman
Hall of Iowa, just back from the
philippines says that it will take
at least $4,000 men to put down
the insurrection. "The end of the
war is a long way off," writes Gen.
Hall.
But this is not all. The Fill
pino army which was '.cornered"
on Morong peninsula a few days
ago escaped without a scratch.
The rainy season has reduced our
army SO per cent. Prostrations
from heat occur by the score each
day. The hospitals are full and
running over, and on top Of all
this Otis cables for $4,000 more
men to be offered as victims for
Philippine grave yards-and the
Mckinley administration has un-
dertaken the task of furnishing the
men. Indeed, the operations of
our army in the Philippines is so
unjust and the sacrifice Of life and
money so great that President
Schurman Of the Philippine com
mission has resigned and will re-
turn to the United States. He fa-
yored treating with the Filipinos
for peace and thus clashed with
Otis, cKinley's representative in
the benevolent assimilation" pro
cess.
Our whole policy toward the ma
tives Of those islands has been
unjust and criminal and our coun-
try will be disgraced and humiliat-
ed before the civilized nations Of
the world before the problem Is
permanently solved.

ApMIRAL pEWEY's WELCOME.

New York, seconded by the people Of
every quarter and corner of the coun-
try, is endeavoring to give Admiral
Dewey such greeting as will show the
warmth of the welcome of Americans
lor American heroes who are worthy
and great The demonstration could
not be other than a tremendous
success, even though New York failed
10 do all that it is doing, for the return
Of Dewey is an illustrious event
Admiral Dewey not only has proved
himself to be a naval officer Of the
very highest ability, but he also has
the warm regard of the public for
other than warlike qualities. His mod
esty is well known. His discretion in
trying circumstances is quite unusual
Notwithstanding the light Of publicity
that has been turned upon his every
act since the day of the battle OF Ma
Mia bay he has never been found de-
fcient in good taste or in official de-
corum. He has given evidence on nu-
merous occasions of the possession Of
qualities Of diplomacy and statesman-
ship. For all these reasons respect anc
admiration for Admiral Dewey hav,
been constantly increasing since the
battle upon which his fame primarily
rests. The entire nation greets his
Homecoming.
New York has the good fortune t
get the first glimpse OF the returning
hero, but his welcome will be none thl
less enthusiastic wherever he appear
among the American people.

We are finding no fault with the de-

no more effective move against the op-
position of the old company than to go
ahead and build the road. The people
are tired of squabbling, and have lost

tive purposes.-Nilford News and Ad-

There is a widespread desire supon
the part of large portion OF the rank

getting together at the election next
November. This desire is independent
OF the efforts OF would-be office-holders
whose political zeal is measured by
their own selfish chances. This same
desire existed largely in 1896, causing
many voters TO cast a ballot for Hot-
fecker and Willis upon the claims OF
their factionist friends that they could
be elected-thus giving apparent
strength TO the cause of Addicksism
which never belonged to it.-Middle-

MORMON GROWTH.

Every now and then the press dis
patches announce that somewhere in
The West or somewhere in the South a
brace of Mormon missionaries have
been stoned, whipped, or otherwise
maltreated. The people read the news
and regard it as unimiportant beyond
showing brutality on the part Of the
assailants. They consider the victims
merely religious cranks representing a
coarse and immoral sect that is prac-
tically extinct AT at annual conference
Of Mormons just held at Anderson, Ind,
the official reports gave some startling
statistics.
The report which was submitted by
Elder Louis A. Kelseh. president OF the
North Central mission, which includes
the eleven states north Of the Ohio and
me Arkansas. was great surprise.
Three years ago the Mormons began
their work in this section, which takes
to Iowa. Missouri, Illinois Indiana,
Michigan, Nebraska, Dakota-North
and Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The first year there were very few con-
garts. The next year there were few
more. while during the third year, just
closed. the number Of converts and
haptisms have been twice as great as
curing the first two years. There are
now LOO baptized and accepted Nor
mons in the section named There are
e22 working elders.
Though the missionaries who come
nto the field from Utah believe in
polygamy and say it is a part of theil
aligion, they are not preaching its in
reduction. They abide they say, by tn,
Jaw Of 1890 against polygamy, and while
iney do not believe the law right one
tney are not they say, inclined t'
fight it,
There are at present about 5000
missionaries out in thework about ,25l
Of them being in the Southern states
They have 300 in Europe and are doinl
