GERMAN.AMERICAN OPPOSE IMPEK-
IAL ALLIANCES.


The recent meeting in Chicago Of
5000 Germans born and Germans of
American descent, who formulated a
declaration opposing an Anglo-Amer-
of much comment. The stand of these
citizens against the policy which would
make this nation a tail to the British
kite meets the appreciation of all but
Anglo-maniacs and rabid imperialists.
These German are espec-
tally strong in their position for the
reason that they have never been given
to that pastime known as twisting the
British lions tail, a sport, by the way,
which not long ago was favorite with
those very politicians and organs who
are now loudest in demanding that
Uncle Sam become a sort of lackey or
caddy to John Bull in the world grab
bling game.
There is sound basis, therefore, for
the claim of these German Americans
that they are disinterested in their OPP
position to a policy which is diamet-
rically opposed to the spirit of our
institutions, humiliating to our self
respect and dangerous to popular gov
eminent. They spoke not as Germans,
but as Americans, opposing all en-
tangling alliance with foreign nations,
not alone with England, but with
Germany, or any other nation. And in
this they planted themselves squarely
on the immortal platform of Washing
ton.
They exposed the false pretence Of
the Anglo-maniacs that this is purely
an Anglo-Saxon country. All Europe
not England alone-is the mother of
the white people of the United States.
The GermanAmericans have a per-
feet right to define their position in
this matter, which is as unassailable as
their argument is incontrovertible.
They have been as prominent as any
other nationality in advancing our
national welfare and contributing TO
Jul 0lN--lAdCloll, ploSiSoS anu udppl-
ness, while they have been probably
more prominent than any other in free
ing us from the sitting, oppressive and
retrograding influence of narrow mind
ed and illiberal Puritanism. The right
in this country of every man to do as
he pleases SO long as he does not
trangress the rights of any other man
is very largely the outgrowth of Ger
man influence.
Therefore, the COMMUNICATIONS In
their protest against an Anglo-Ameri-
can imperial alliance speak with full
citizens and in the name of American
liberty.

BRIDGEPORT.

The long drawn out and now famous
chicken case in which Officer Odell
Meister, James Baxter and John Seeiy
were implicated, which was tried be-
fore Squire Morrell at Bellaire, and
which was also tried before Squire
Clemans, at this place, has come to a
final end as far as justice shops are
concerned. The preliminary hearing
which has been in progress before
Squire Clemans the past day and half
was brought to a close yesterday after
noon by a flow of oratory and elo-
quence which lasted three long hours
and ended by the acquital of the three
parties charged with the crime. To
some it was a surprise others expected
such a decision.
The case was opened promptly at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning by one Of
the defendants, Meister, being placed
upon the stand. He denied ever hav-
ing told Ed. Lyle that Baxter stole the
chickens. Other testimony by him was
similar to that of the former afternoon
Ed. Lyle, one of the States wit
nesses, when called upon, said that
Baxter told him on the train coming
IToH the SeeIy lIIdI dI oleuDenNlile,
that Meister, Seely and he had stole
Mrs. Bolen's chickens. Gross examin-
ed witness stated that Meister and he
were not on bad terms until Meister
came to his home and threatened him
bodily injury for alleged circulation of
stories about his, the defendants wife.
Meister was recalled and upon being
questioned in regard to telling Lyle
who stole the chickens, denied having
done such thing, but did tell him he
wanted him to stop circulating reports
in regard to his wife.

TELL THE TRUTH.

Administration organs cannot tell
the truth concerning the Filipinos be-
cause the truth puts the administra-
ton in very bad light. 1t shows
that all this sacrifice of splendid and
heroic young American manhood could
have been avoided had the administra-
ton at Washington dealt openly and
honestly with the Filipinos and gave
them the simple assurances they had
a right to demand that our purpose
was not one of conquest.
The truth, however, is what the
American people demand. This great
nation has never yet been afraid Of the
truth, which has been the foundation
rock of our glorious national success.
We decline to admit that we have yet
gone so far along the imperial line that
it has become necessary to adopt the
European policy of falsehood and in
trigue to deceive the people.
1t will be time to shut up shop and
declare popular government failure
when the Stars and Stripes cannot
float in Gods sunlight with Gods
truth.

The telephone tax IS levied Ia the
same manner as the water tax is levied
in the cities Of the United States It is
so insignificant that the poorest wage
earners can afford to have telephones
in their homes, and even now every
fifth house is connected with the CEN
trail Office. In the large hotels there is
telephone in every room connected
with a sub-central in the hotel office.
Butchers, grocers, shoemakers, laun-
dries and even coal carriers and wood
cutters now receive their orders by
telephone.
The system also covers cities within
a hundred miles of Stockholm.
And the cost-but S. a year!
This sounds like a fairy tale to
Americans who have long been labor
ing under the incubus of the Bell
monopoly. But it is simple fact of
everyday life in Stockholm.
Our own postal system is a sample
of what the government can do when
it takes hold of public monopoly and
runs it in the interest of the people.
A letter or parcel may now be sent
from one end of this mighty continent
to the other for the price of two cent
stamp. If private monopoly did the
mail carrying for the people, we would
probably be paying ten cents letter
where we now pay two.

About Guam.

One of the oldest maritime fietions has received its deatbblow by the rais. ing of the American flag over Guam, in the Ladrone islands. According to sailors, thousands of vessels cleared for Guam from ports all over the world each year, but none ever arrived there. Clearing for Guam was done by ships which wished to conceal their real des. tination. According to maritime law, when once a vessel has cleared for a port is must proceed there by the most direct route or give satisfactory ex- planation. Guam was q closed port under the Spanish rule and ships could always give that as reason for not go- ing there after having cleared for the place.
