Anti. Inn peria1ists Meet and Denounce
the Philippine Campaign.
Anti-imperialists from thirty States
were congregated in Apollo Hall at Chi
cago Tuesday morning, when the confer
ence against expansion was opened. Pub
lie meetings were held Tuesday evening,
Wednesday afternoon and evening. Ed
ward Burritt Smith called the meeting
to order. Prof. A. III. Tolman of the
University of Chicago delivered the open
Ing address and was followed by num-
Der of other speakers. The speakers an
nounced themselves, some in violent and
some in quiet words, as the bearers Of
the true spirit of independence and free
government. Following are some Of the
sentiments expressed:
The American people should stamp the
administrations proceedings with a YER
dict Of disapproval so clear and so en-
phatic that this will be solemn warn
ing to future Presidents instead Of Sc
ductive precedent.-Carl Schurz.
The people begin to comprehend that
homicide Is homicide, that bloOdshed is
bloodshed; that it serves nothing to call
oneself Caesar or Napoleon, and that in
the eyes of the eternal God the figure OF
a murderer Is not changed because in
stead of a gallows cap there is placed up
on his head an emperor's. CROWN.
Sterling Morton. ara II;
In nearly all the events of history the
dominant minority fought out the prin-
ciple of liberty. History will repeat 1t
self.-Edward Atkinson.

From all over the country there are
reports that the enrollments at public
and private schools, from the primary
grades to the universities, are larger
this year than ever before. Some in
crease might have been expected as a
result Of the steady growth Of popula-
ton, but the marked gain noted this
season is much more largely due to the
general prosperity of the country. Thus
the good times that have resulted
from wise national policies, from large
crops and from good markets not only
bring employment to all who seek 1t,
not only afford good investments for all
who have money to invest, not only
increase the earning power Of both la
Dor and capital and contribute to the
comforts and necessities of daily life,
but they open the way for more liberal
education. Children who had been
forced to earn something for the fam
lily are released from their employment
and sent to school. Young men and
young women who have had but limit
ed opportunities for higher education
now find themselves able to attend the
colleges and universities The benefits
Of prosperity are incalculable, but
among them one of the greatest is
along educational lines.-Kansas City
Journal.

Trust Aided by Dcmocrat..

In 1896 we imported over eighty-nine
million dollars worth Of sugar and over
ninety-nine million dollars worth of su-
gar In 1897, while in 1898 our imports
Of sugar fell Off to a little over sixty
million dollars worth. The Wilson
Tariff was in force in 1896 and most Of
the year 1897 and the increase of sugar
importations in 1897 was due to the, eff
forts of the sugar trusts to rush In
large quantities of sugar before the
Dingley Tariff took effect, and they
were aided in this effort by Senator
Vest of Missouri and other Democratic
senator's who held up the Dingley bill
until the sugar arrived, and yet the
Democrats pretend to denounce trusts.
