WILL BE HAILED WITH JOY.

The anti-eXpansion democrats will con
rumor that Andrew Carnegie is to stand
for parliament in the district of Suther-
l~andshire. That gentleman Is out with a
statement that he is an American citi-
zen, having been naturalized, and there
fore is not eligible for political honors on
the native sod. This insures to the DEM
ocracy the weight of Mr.. C%arnegie's in
fluence in favor of anti-imperialism.
It was not until after his conference
with the multi-millionaire iron magnate,
that Colonel Bryan projected his new is
sue into American politics. Carnegie
stood as foster father to the issue, his
experience as the hero of the Homestead
ton to ~monopolies and trusts, especially
qualifying him for a front seat in the
democratic sanctuary of reform.
Next to Bryan himself, Carnegie is the
most prominent anti-imperialist in the
country. He is opposed to a strong stand
ing army, since he sold out the works and
| concluded to be good. How far his barrel
may go in saving the country from the
aggressiveness of the rich, in the next
campaign, remains to be seen. Luckily
for the democracy, Andy has been natur-
allied and can carry a lanthorn with the
rest of the boys.

THE CRIME or AN MPOSTER,

The interesting communication, ex-
planatory of County Attorney Connelly's
connection with the Veno case, which
appeared in the Inter Mountain last ey-
ening, does not materially affect the
statements of fact set forth in these
columns. The conviction of Veno on a
charge of grand larceny was in itself
sufficient evidence, on the face of things.
that a prima facia case was made out
against him, as the able prosecutor main
tains. Blu a prima facia case against a
man does not necessarily imply the guilt
of the accused, especially when he is con-
victed. as Veno was. on the strength of a
technicality. To send a man up for two
years on a technicality may show ability
and shrewdness OF the part of a prosecu-
ting attorney, but it does not imply that
the convicted man has been accorded all
the equities which the administration Of
Justice is supposed to guarantee.

the imposter Veno was held, been inter-

ality Of the railroads in making special

THE CHEAPEST YET.

To convince the American public that
the recently incubated irnperialistic bogie
has attained such enormous proportions
as to be recognized abroad. the democrat
ic press insist that the South American
republics have taken warning and are
seeking to effect alliances with which to
protect themselves from the aggressive
imperial policies of the United States.
They would nave it appear that our
southern neighbors fear a military inva-
sion into their territory, because. for
sooth, this country sees fit to dominate
affairs in the Philippines, in pursuance
OF the rights of possession honestly &C.
quired. They would indicate to the world
hat the fears which they attribute to
continental countries on the south are
we'll taken, for who knows what may
happen after the Philippine insurrection
is subdued?
Who knows but that South America and
Canada will be overwhelmed amid the
beating of drums and the footing of
horns, preparatory to the subjugation Of
Europe, Asia and Africa? If this awful
imperialistic, royal purple conspiracy
against the liberties Of the world gets
under full Roadway, through the election
of a republican president in 1900, even the
planet Mars had better look out! Step
aside, gentlemen, and give the democrat
ic boyle a nance to grow.
The fact is, the South American repub-
lies neither recognize nor fear any inn
perialistic tendency or the part of the
government of the United States. The
basis of any expression emanating from
that quarter of the globe is an %unavoida-
BILE acknowledgement of the rapid strides
which this country is making along in
dustrial and commercial lines. Expan-
sion is recognized as a medium through
which the foreign trade of the United
States will be greatly enhanced.
Little foresight is required on the part
neutrality-suspicious. republics of the
south to appreciate and understand that
their efforts to improve their commercial
footing before the world, in rivalry with
the United States, will amount to little
in the face of the business opportunities
which the ultimate control of the Pacific
will give to us. It is the era of Industrial
and commercial grandeur, such as the
world never knew before, upon which oul
country is now entering, that disturbs the
trade prospects of the lesser lights of the
business world, and lead them to joint,
consider the business outlook for the fu.
ture of the south.
Against the splendid policy of expan,
sion and growth, which means the per
petual supremacy of our nation in al
that goes to make up the Industrial ant
commercial life of the world, the demo
cratic press array their forces and cal
a halt on the rogress of our people. Blu
of all the pyrotechnic bugaboos free
from the catapults of the bourbon press
the most absurd is the solemn declaration
that the South American republics fea,

preted in the light of the California de-
cisions, he would have been declared in
nocent of the crime charged, but it was
interpreted in the light of the New York
decisions and he was found guilty. This
alone shows a distinction between the
crimina practices of two great states
which makes room for a reasonable
doubt as to the equity of the procedure
against Neno on a charge of grand lar
ceny. The Inter Mountain has not at IN
time assumed that Veno was illegally
convicted, but that he was unjustly con-
victed of the specific crime with which
he was charged.
Veno agreed to cure a lady of her COM
plant for a specific sum of money, only
part of which was paid in prior to the
effecting of a cure. Before the time spec
flied for the cure to talk place had
elapsed, he was called upon 20 answer to
the charge of grand larceny, it having
become known in the meantime that he
was an imposter and a fraud.
1t seems that among other misrepre-
sensations made was the fraudulent
claim that he used the medicines put up
by a certain firm in the east, and that he
represented that firm. though such rep.
reservations had nothing whatever to do
with inducing the lady to submit to his
treatment. 1t appears that she was in
fact Influenced wholly by his own grand
Eloquent claims of efficiency. However,
the claim that he i%ncidently represented
another party in treating the ease made
it possible to technically convict him OF
grand larceny.
By strictly applying the same rules to
the local physician who. like Veno, prom
ises to effect a cure if his directions are
followed. and who takes partial payment
therefore, and cites the standing of the
firm that makes the medicine as a guar
antee of its curative qualities, we fear
some very excellent and we'll meaning
gentlemen might get themselves into a
peck of trouble. The same technical pro-
visions might be applied to those able
and efficient legal luminaries who agree
to win a case in advance of it's trial, for
a cash consideration, but who do not use
the knowledge and skill in it's conduct
implied by their certificates of admission
to the bar.
In fact, il obtaining money under false
pretenses and by embezzlement consti-
tute grand larceny under our statutes.
provisions for the trial Of the lesser
crimes M the in1iction of penalties,
ought to be done away with. Then the
man who obtains money under a few
false pretenses would be guilty of petit
larceny, while the nan of many
false pretenses would be guilty of grand
larceny. Perhaps, the prosecution of the
imposter Veno, so ably conducted by Mr..
Connolly on technical lines, may result in
a wholesome overhauling Of our legal jur-
~isprudence, after all.

The Philippine Question.


There are only two sides to the Philip
pine questionable side of the American
flag and President Mckinley, and the
side of Aguinaldo. No reasonable man
believes that the subjugation by the Uni
ted States of the Philippine Islands
means the enslavement or degradation of
that people. There is no higher stand
ard of human rights than was held by the
people of this country, and the genius of
our institutions is not calculated TO de-
grade, but to elevate and ennoble all who
come under its influence. He is not a
sincere American who does not believe
that the stars and stripes will prove a
blessing to any country over which they
float. After the insurrection in the Phil
ippines is put down, Congress will pro-
vide government for tho Inhabitants in
harmony with our own institutions. That
will mean liberty, enlightenment, pros
perity and progress for them, and in
creas: d prosperity for us and the Amer
lean who advocates the lowering of the
flag in the Philippines is not only a trail
tor to his country, but an enemy to hui
man progress and enlightenment Punzy

The Fighting Nebraska Chaplain.

Conspicuous among the speakers at the
Republican State Convention of Nebras-
ka was the Reverend Mr.. Mailley, the
chaplain of the First Regiment from that
State. 1t is limited that the leaders in the
convention hesitated to put him up to
speak, for he had previously been known
as an independent in politics, but there
was no cause for their hesitation. Stand
ing before that enthusiastic assemblage, he
frankly admitted that he had never voted
the full Republican ticket in his life. 81

ment Ofwhole communities, and in time
of peace have often been opposed to the
administration, but the old flag
was fired on and after that followed the
First Nebraska over the rice fields of Luz
zon, and shot the best l could. Now
have come home to vote and work the
wav l shot"
The Bryanite newspapers have sought
to discount the value of these words by
intimating that their sentiment was not
new, but it is not on record that Mr..
MaiIley gave them out as new. He sim
ply intended to tell the truth. Impelled
to volunteer with the regiment which ad-
ded so much to Nebraska's glory as a
State, he found reason on the field to
shoot as he best could. This reason he
has given in subsequent remark. The
American soldiers had gone to the Phil
ippines to "civilize and save the natives
Chose are his own words), and were re-
warded by Aguinaldo's forces with blade
and bullets. In the knowledge of that
fact the chaplain forgot that he was there
as a spiritual adviser of the troops and
"shot as best he could"
Because of these facts the attempts TO
ridicule him have fallen wide of the
mark. There is little censule attaching
to any American who resents an outrage
on the American flag.-Phila. Inquirer.

ACCORDING to a New York Democratic
paper, the est, Louis trust conference

ure if the object was to contribute any
thing of importance to the literature of

object. Perhaps Gov, Sayers, of Texas,
who was the author of the project, had a
sincere desire to do something toward the
elucidation of the trust question, but his
associates, with scarcely an exception,
had no such idea. They wanted to have
a gathering of cheap Democratic politi-
icians held under conditions which
would secure for them some attention
throughout the country. 1t was round
up of Democratic and Populist feather
heads, who could not get any notice from
the press of the country if they met under
any other auspices. In that view of the
case the conference may or may not have
been failure.-Globe Democrat.

ourselves not merely weaklings unfit to

advancement of mankind, if we finch
from doing Alright the task which destiny
has entrusted to our hands. We have no
more right to leave the Filipinos to
butcher one another and sink slowly
back into savagery, than we would have
the right, in an excess of sentimentality,
to declare the Sioux and Apaches free to
expell all white settlers from the lands
they once held. The Filipinos offer ex-
cellent material for the future with our
aid they may be brought up 10 the level
of self-government; but at present they
cannot stand alone for any length of

Unless something unforseen occurs,
Walter Wheaton, who was tried for the
muder of George Carter in this court
last November, convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentence to term
of l9i years in the penitentiary, will be
compelled to serve his long sentence.
Gillespie & Petit, of Greenville, counsel
for Wheaton, took an appeal from the
decision of Judge Criswell refusing the
defendent a new trial, and the case was
to have been considered by the Supreme
Court at the session which begins in
Pittsburg on Oct. 9th. This appeal. how
ever, has been abandoned. Tho testimo-
ny, which was written from the notes of
the court stenographer, l.. f. Haney, at a
cost of over $500, was never liitod from
the records. That the case should thus
terminate is not sur rising to anyone
conversant with its history, and Wheaton
should consider himself lucky to escape
with his life.-ErdnklR NeWS.
