APRACTICAL POLITICIAN.

Gen. Juan IsiGro JimineZ, of San Do
minso. is evidently a truly practical
politician, and if West Indian politics
is conducted on the, lines laid down by
him it certainly is nothing if not prac-
teal.
For the past two years 1 have been
working against President Heureaux,
says the San Domingo Reader Il have
worked among foreign powers. l have
landed filibustering expeditions. At last
nv plans are successful They were
my agents who killed President Heur
eaux."
Here is a sample of West Indian pol
itics for youl And this is evidently
quite the proper thing in the Domini
can Republic, for Gen. Jiminez does not
mention the exploit as anything at all
extraordinary or out of the usual way
of political happenings in that coun-
try. and he congratullates himself on
the success of his plans which were to
defeat his antagonist by means of as
sassination to be done,by the regularly
delegated agents of his political party.
II was a political coup" nothing more
and Gen. Jiminez takes due tcredit for
its success.
But he doesn't intend totallow his
political labors to end there. Il am
going IN the United States in,a day or
so,'' he explains. ito organize another
party, who will go with me to San Do
mingo and, if necessary, take forcible
possession of the government The
people do not want Figuereo; they want
me, and they shall have me-
Administration politicians should
carefully study Gen. Jiminez. He is
but a type with whom we may have
considerable dealings in our imperial
future.

IN FEAR OF .-BENEvOLENr ASSIMI-
LA1IUN.

Wet are told that South American
diplomats at Washington "deride' the
story tlsat South American republics
are conte mplating an alliance to resist
aggression on the part of the United
States. We trust this is true and that
there is nothing in the report, but as
vet the only word we have to that eff
feet is that of certain political writer's
for the administration press, for none
of the South American diplomats at
Washington have yet spoken in the
press on the subject.
But despite the denials of admins
tration organs there is the best OF
reason to believe that all South Amer
lean republics regard the United States
with suspicion-with a good deal more
suspicion, at least, than they did
eighteen months ago, before pious Mr..
Mckinley started On his benevolent
mission of Assimilating all the world
lying loose in the oceans.
An imperialist and a Republican,
though Independent, correspondent,
now in South America, recently wrote
to his paper in Chicago that the peo-
pie of the isthmus had become con-
WINGED that the American eagle was
reaching his talons for all the I'M
guarded or insufficiently protected ter
ritory in sight
This testimony is supported by that
Of DR.. Laureans Villanova, EXPIRE
sident of Venezuela, now in New
York, who made the statement in an
interview last week that while he had
not vet heard of the South American
alliance against the Uniced States, he
thought such an alliance ought to be
made. When asked whether the
South American nations feared the
United States he made series of Wig
orous significant gestures and said:
esThe United States will take all-all y
To the further question whether all
the South American republics thought
as he did he replied: why, of
course. 1t is well-known fact. Who
can doubt it? Do you deny it?"
This may be mere hallucination on
DR.. villanova's part, but it must be
admitted that he is good authority on
South American sentiment. And if
what he says is true, if this sentiment
towards the United States really pre-
walls. it will cost the United States in
money and trade twenty times as
much as we can ever hope to gain by
possession of the Philippines.
If DR.. Villanova's view is mere hal
lucination it is unfortunate that it pre-
walls not only in South America but
throughout Europe. When the Amer
lean delegates to The Hague confer
ence insisted that an arbitration tri-
bunal should not amount to an obliga-
ton on the part of European powers
to interfere with American operations
in this hemisphere, foreign papers I'M
derstood our attitude-which, by the
way. was merely in consonance with
the provisions of the Monroe Doctrine
Ito mean that we reserved the right
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-08-10

to conquer and "annex" the entire
| hemisphere.
This merely illustrates how the world
abroad views the change in our time
honored foreign policy as evidenced in
the war of conquest in the Philippines.
In Paris, we are told, it is common
talk that the United States is aiming
to get possession of San Domingo and
hthe belief prevails that we are liable to
leone to blows with Germany in Do
sminican waters. And Figaro remarks:
t.We have always noted carefully indi-
;cations of the tendency on the part OF
the Americans to inaugurate policy
.of Intervention in European affairs.
sAdmiral Dewey only continues the ira
idition.''
All this may be without foundation.
All true Americans will deyoutly trust
it is. But it serves to show how the
world abroad views the reversal by the
present administration of our tradition
al American policy. 1t is peculiarly
unfortunate for us, because We are now
in a position where it is imperatively
necessary that we have large markets
abroad in order to dispose of our sur
plus products-for even the trusts can
not so control production that we will
not have a tremendous surplus of man
ufactured prOductS left after the home
market is supplied, and this does not
take into consideration our tremendous
crops, the production of which by Di-
