INCIDENT accompanies Imperialism.
Over in Porto Rico a couple of weeks
ago, a native named named Rafael
Ortiz, entered a restaurant in the viii
lage of Caguas, about twenty miles
from San Juan. Seated at one of the
tables was Sergeant Burke of the 47th
New York Volunteers. Ortiz stealth
lily crept up behind him, and drew a
razor across his throat, nearly severing
the head from the body. Burke at
tempted to grapple his assailant, but
died almost instantly. Ortiz fled to
the mountains, but was captured, tried
by a military commission. and SEN
fenced to death. Upon very strong
representations to President Mck1n-
ley the punishment was commuted to
life-lmprisonment. 1t appears that
Ortiz, who is but twenty-three years OF
age. was engaged to be married to a
young girl of Caguas. "whom," the
account says, Burke attempted to
win or ruin"-in plain English, win

Burke slapped Ortiz's face; and upon
another occasion, under similar cir
cumstances, the soldier struck Ortiz
across the nose with cane. From
that time Ortiz followed Burke like {

PROSPERITY has struck the EldOrado
(Kansas) Republican. Il says: .'We
have in the last three years paid for
all the goods we have shipped in from
other countries; we have paid all the
interest we owe to outside fellows; we
have paid all the travelling expenses of
the thousands of Americans who swarm
all over the world, spending money
like water, while in that time we have
shipped into this country two hundred
million dollars in gold as the net bal
ance in our favor; and that gold is in
this country to-day" Which leads a

Americans to heed the object-lesson
presented in the above incident; it
may save them annoyance and punish

shall have blossomed out in all their
glory and beauty. OF course, as yet,
there are no ''unprintable" barbarities
committed by the army in the Philip

THESE people who are saying that

very weary. All good things come
high. and it is folly for a free people
to think that they can retain the bless

the price. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" and it is a sad day
when a nation concludes to shirk pay

Wv. CIoNE III d spcSCA d6 DuhCCLOh,
Mo-, last Saturday said that his diff
ference -witk Bland on the formulation
one of phraseology- If this be true
then there are several hundred thous-
and people calling themselves Demo
Gratis who can't understand plain Eng
lish when they see it or hear it. Even
the lamented Bland himself was af-
fiicted with this mental strabismus.
The one thing for Gov. Stone to do is
to come out squarely against the Porto
Rican enunciation Of that platform.
1t is un-Democratic and subversive of
every Jeffersonian principles; it is
against the constitution as interpreted
by the highest tribunal in the land. If
Porto Rico is righteously ours through
the result of the war with Spain, then
what is there to urge against the &C
QUESTION of the Philippines? On what
principle can a Democrat denoupce the
ADMINISTRATORS criminal aggression in
the Orient? Is principle a question of
nautical miles, and does it change
with the points of the compass?
The Porto Ricans have the same in
heren. right of self-government that
attaches to the Filipinos, and if it is
wrong in this government to replace
Spanish tyranny and oppression with
subjugation and mastership in the one
instance it is equally wicked to do so
in the other. Porto Rico is in nature
neither part nor parcel of this country;
a thousand miles of sea lie between
their nearest contiguous points; the
islanders are of different race and
blood to our people; their manners and
customs are foreign to ours; there is
no affinity to bind them to US.
How does Gov Stone intend that the
island shall be governed? AS a colo
ny? The fundamental law of the land
forbids 1t. As military dependency
That is revolving to every Democratic
idea. Would he make a territorial
rotten borough of it to be used to the
advantage of the party in power? The
one thing that, more than all others,
threatens the future of this Republic
is the conflict of interests of its differ
ent sections. Is it the part of wisdom
to wantonly add to this danger? As
soon as we assert the right by con-
quest then the only limit to our ac-
quirement of incongruous lands and
peoples is determined by the weight
of our guns and the number of our
bayonets, There is in this direction
only one line of demarcation between
the safety of the Republic and its ulti-
mate destruction, and that line, broad
and plain. once crossed is obliterated,
and chaos lies on every hand. 1t is
emphatically ''dead line" to a free
people. How Gov. Stone could ever
have advocated that untenable plank
in the Springfield platform IS beyond
our understanding. 1t fell on us like
wet blanket in January and chilled
the marrow in our bones. We believe
now that the Governor is sorry he did
it, and yet hope to hear him frankly
acknowledge the corn. But, above
all, we beseech him not to quote one
Thomas jefferson in its defense; let
him leave that sort of thing to the Re-
publican brethren. They are adopts

A BIT of imperialistic history from
the Soudan. A Capt. Voulet and a
Capt. Chanoine of the French army
were accused of barbarously ill-treating
the natives on the march to Lake
Chad. As these barbarities are de-
clared to be ''unprintable" the reader
may closely guess at their enormity.
When the home government heard of
them they dispatched a second column
under Lieut.. Col. Klobb to overtake
the first, investigate the charges, and
assume command. But when Col.
Klobb overlook the Voulet- Chanoine

nine. wounded several and drove them
