MORE LOSS THAN PROFIT.
Expense of Imperialism, to the Peo-
PIE of the United
States.

When the administration gets ready
to make report to the people as to the
profit and loss of the policy of imperial
ism, how will the account stand?
Certainly not in favor of a policy
which burdens the nation with taxes
and gives no adequate return.
In 1890 the national receipts were
$4O3, OSO,9S2 and the expenditures $685.
040,71O, and the army and navy cost the
government SEE, 5S9,044.
How does the account stand for the
present fiscal year?
The receipts were 1915 800, $40 and the
expenditures $6O5, O72,1 79, of which
1928, 7S5 1850 went for the army and
navy.
While McKinley's administration has
increased taxes and raised the revenue
i'll every possible way, the deficit this
year amounts to $S9, 1,559.
Taxes have been increased 81 per cent.
by the republican administration and
the expenditure has doubled since 1890.
Not only this, but the Understanding
debt of the government has grown from
$6o0.0o0,000 to $1.1S2, 149,05O
Now, what has Mckinley to show for
this enormous increase in debt and
taxes?
The war with Spain ended more than
a year ago. This nation is supposed to
be at peace with all other nations, yet
war expenses go on at an increased
scale.
It will be difficult for Mckinley to
make his profit and loss account bal
ance. The people of the United States
are patriotic, but they are not imperial
lists and they will not long approve of a
policy which costs much more than it
comes to.-Chicago Democrat.

HANNA AND OHIO.
The Republican Boss Is Not Inter-
ested I'm the Philippine
Question.

Mr.. Mark Hanna is jealous for the
reputation of Admiral Dewey. He dis
likes to hear politicians squatted at his
ear suggesting to him that .'Glamis thou
art and Cawdor and shall be king here
after" Thatdoes not suit Hanna's pro-
gramme. The king hereafter is TO be of
his own selection, and his mind is al
ready made up as to the identity of that
gentleman. It is very wrong to suggest
to the admiral that he should go into
politics. Politics would be the ruin of
him. He occupies the highest position
in the navy, and surely it is to his inter
est to be content with that. 1t appears
also to be to the interest of Mr.. Hanna
that he be content with that.
Hanna does not choose to remember
that Grant had the highest position in
the army nor to suggest that he should
have been content Herewith. He was
doubtless among those who encouraged
the idea that Grant should be president,
but since he is quite sure that Dewey
will rise superior to all temptation and
offer no impeachment to the major why
does Hanna so seriously apprehend the
possibility that he may yield? 1t is
good old proverb: 'Let the cobbler stick
to his last and if Dewey is wise he will
act upon it. If he does not he must take
his chances, even of offending the po-
tent political figure of this country, his
monitor, Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Hanna in a recent interview said:
ST do not know anything about the Feiil-
ippines; the only fight am watching is
the one in Ohio These statements will
be readily accepted by his countrymen.
Mr.. Hanna does not know and never did
know anything about the Philippines.
He is not watching the fight out there.
and apparently neither is anybody else,
save to condemn it as utterly discredit-
able to the republic. AS to the fight in
Ohio, of course Mr.. Hanna will watch
that very carefully. 1t involves his po-
itica1 fortunes and his personal pocket
book.-Chicago Chronicle.

PLEASED THE DRIVER.
The Stout Lady Was Less a Burden
to Him When She Was
Least ObliEinE.

One of the most delightful women in New
York is one who discarded her waist line
years ago. She is built on the order of the
tub, but she has genial and accommodate
ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself:
She had been to the Catskills for a few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that it takes you four hours to drive
up to and half an hour to come down from.
She was met at the nearest railway station,
she and half dozen others, by stage that
set off up the mountain road. It was hot and
the stout lady had kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered to get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged alalg as
far as she could. Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out. She had
returned to the carriage another time, when
they came to a still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
Wen she said, sI'm not going to get out
again. I'm too tired
The driver turned to her with look OF
gratitude.
That's all right" he said ''Set still. I'd
lot rather haul you than heft you in and
out so often.''
And he hauled" her to the very steps of
the hotel.-N. Y. Sun.

GUNsAULUs' ANCIENT HORSE.
Divine in His Youth Which Dis
susted His Father.

Once upon a time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was a poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board
ed round at the houses of the deacons, and
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend a few days. His father, SO
the story goes, was a rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with a vocabulary
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus found
himself IN possession of enough money to
buy horse. He thought it would be better
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. 1t was q
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
it he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal
.Where did We git that boss, Frank ?" he
asked.
81 bought him cheap, father said the
young preacher.
He's q. sorry-lookin' critter, must say %
said the father.
"Well, father" said Frank, ''you remem-
Der that our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on
a worse looking animal than this"
And the old man looked at the hose again
and said:

A DIsGRAeEFUL WAR.
fine Philippine Policy CT the PFesi-
dent Is Eased Upca
Politics.

The pain and amaZement of the Nc
kinleyites at the fact that anybody
should be base enough to desire to
make party capital out of their gigan-
tic laundering in the Philippines, is
getting to be such that they can no
longer contain themselves. They are
beginning to explode with indignation
and horror. While trying to win votes
for you fellows out of the mistakes we
fellows have madei Merciful heavens,
was ever such political turpitude heard
Of before? Col. Hay was aghast at the
thought, in his letter to the Ohio re-
publicans. It is true that his horror
and disgust were a trifie too plainly
theatric; his starts and gasps and
stares were c1eary STACEY; you all
along saw that he would be perfectly
willing to go off and take drink with
the villains when the play was over;
but he already has many imitators, ana
we shall hear much more of the I'M
speakable conduct of party opponents
in holding a republican administration
to account for the colossal failure of its
Philippine policy.
Bear in mind, however, that the OBJ
lection is not to making party capital
out of the Philippines, as such. 1t is
only to making democratic party cap
ital. The truth is, Mckinley and Han
ma had intended all the political capital
that could be made out of the Philip
pines strictly for themselves. For the
democrats to interfere and claim any
Of it is pure perversion of a sacred
fund, and the courts should intervene.
An injunction would, we think. be
granted by any federal judge, restrain
ing Bryan and other democratic ora
tors from so much as mentioning the
word Philippines. The president has
an exclusive property right to all the
party capital which the Philippines can
be made to yield, and what are we
coming to if outsiders can break in and
take it away from him? We know what
his adulators would have said if his
plans had not gone so grievously
wrong. IF Aguinaldo had groveled at
his feet; if the Filipinos had fastened
to submit to his usurpation and illegal
proclamation, what a powerful argu-
ment the republicans would have seen
in it all for rejecting the great, strong,
infieXible, far-seeing, infallible man,
who spalze and it was done, who COM
manded and it stood fast! To demand
votes for success in foreign compiled
tons is Legitimate; but to say that
votes should be withheld ON account of
the humiliating failure-why, that is
simply monstrous! Men who would do
that would botanic upon a mothers
grave and traffic in their country s
shame. This is republican, McKin-
ley, war, if it succeeds, but if it goes
on from one disgrace to another it is a
national war, for which all are respon-
sible, and to support which all citizens
are bound to stand together.-N. Y.

began to legislate against imports from
America, and believing the United
States would not materially modify its
tariff schedule German merchants
started in to make commercial con-

that the sentiment is growing all over
Germany that trade interchange with
