IMPERIALISM.

There can be no doubt that the peo-
pie of this country are divided over the
question of imperialism. They are unit
ed as to the necessity of maintaining the
power and authority of the United States,
but there is difference Of opinion as to
how far the matter should be pushed.
William J. Bryan has opposed imper-
ialism from the beginning of the contro-
versy. In his new book, entitled 'From
Republic to Empire" Mr.. Bryan says:
'.Imperialism finds its inspiration in
dollars, not in duty. 1t IS not our duty
to burden our people with increased tax
es in order to give few spectators an
opportunity for exploitation; 1t is not
our duty to sacrifice the best blood of
our nation in tropical jungles in an at
tempt to stif1e the sentiments which have
given vitality to American Institutions
it is not our duty to deny to the people
of the Philip pines the rights for which
our forefathers fought from Bunker
Hill to Yorktown. Imperialism has
been described as The White Mans

Commercial Union.

A regular meeting of the Commercial
Union was held Friday evening, April
18th, at Gebser's Hall. The matter of

ests. Messrs. Liesch, Eibner, VIM. Brust
and Dirks we're appointed a committee
to endeavor to secure subscriptions for
stock to the proposed cracker factory.
A resolution was adopted calling the at
tention of the city council to the condi.
ton of the street and side walk leading
to the college and asking that an i'm
provement be made. ........

Burden But since it crushes the wealth
producer beneath an increasing weight
of taxes, it might with more propriety
be called The Poor Mans Load {"
This is an honest expression of opin-
ion as to what imperialism means, and
will find a responsive echo in the hearts
of many Americans.
The issue of imperialism might have
been avoided. As Mr.. Bryan says:
"If the peace commissioners had de-
manded harbor and coaling station in
the Philippines, and had required Spain
to surrender the rest of the land to the
Filipinos, as she surrendered Cuba to
the Cubans, we would not now be con-
sldering how to let 60 of the islands. If
the sum of $40, 100000 had been neces
sary to secure Spain's release, the pay
ment of the amount by the Filipinos
might have been guaranteed by the Unit
ed States"
But the peace commissioners did moth
ing of the kind. This government has
the Philippines on its hands and it is
condition and not theory which now
exists.
The reformer has hard time in Ne
vada. The late legislature took initia-
tory steps for founding state lottery,
it re-af6rmed its faith IN prize fighting as
a means OF liberal culture; it repealed
the law which attempts to secure the
purity of elections, and it refused to adj
nit It's women to participation III the
school franchise. Isn't that re.orda
All it lacks is the defeat of q gross earn
ings bill.

NEW ULM FIRMS SUCCESSFUL.

F. Nagel & Co. Of this city were award
ed the contract for the mason work on
the Nelson & Riedel business block in
Sleepy Eye, arrangements having been
completed Monday. The contract calls
for S4,59s and the contemplated building
will be 25x100. Work was begun at once.
Fl. ANIME 6 Co., also of New Ulm have
the contract for constructing Berg's Ho-
tel at Sleepy Eye at the stipulated price
of $11, ,1S7. This contract as we'll as the
above mentioned, does not include the
heating apparatus ETC., it calls only for
masonry and carpenter work. As many
bidders were in the field, the New Ulm
firms deserve recognition for their enter
prise and success.

Good for St. Paul.

Inc success OF st. raul IN being des-
ignated as one of the ports for tea IN
spection is as surprising, under all the
circumstances, as it will he welcome to
the people of the city and state. The
determined fight set on foot against this
city in that behalf, in the interest of
large Eastern commercial centers, rem
ders our success all the more gratifying,
and attest the high Importance which IS
to be attached to the decision of the
treasury department. The revocation OF
the original adverse order merely proves
that it has not been thought either just
or safe to distinguish against commun-
ity whose geographical position rendered
it the most entirely suitable inspection
point of this section of the country.
At this period in the industrial and
commercial development cf this city and
section, the Importance of the action of
the treasury department cannot be over
estimated. It brings into this city eth
er for transshipment or otherwise, over
one-half of the tea shipments carried by
our transcontinental systems, and makes
St. Paul the distributing point for a very
respectable portion of the gross ship
ments. This adds greatly to the i'm
portance of the community as shipping
and commercial point, and it will be a
considerable factor in the development
of Our local commercial interests: twill
help to demonstrate that this is the ma
tural commercial distributing point of
the great section Of country stretching
out to the Pacific coast on the west and
the Canadian boundry on the north

Uniforms for the Fire Ladies'.

The committee on uniforms for the
fire department met Sunday morning at
the city clerks office. The contract for
furnishing the forty-fve uniforms was
awarded to John F. Neumann as the
lowest bidder at $40 per uniform, to be
delivered on May 2Otb. The probabili-
ties are that the department will turn
out in full force in their new uniforms,
including caps, on decoration day. The
caps Will cost So piece and are furn-
ished by u Chicago firm. In order to
meet the bills the department must con-
tribute 5000 from it's fund In addition
to the $4oo appropriated by the city
