ALTGELD ON THE EVILS THAT
THREATEN THE LAND.

Omaha, Jan. Governor Altgeld
delivered u characteristcally forcible
speech at tho Jackson Day banquet which
was held here to-day. Among tho many
things he said were these:
Already wo sec magazine articles urg-
ing the establishment by law of perma-
ncnt aristocrncy in our system of govern
ment, and from high quarters we hear u
demand for Hamiltonism. Hamilton be
liovcd in monarchy and aristocracy bot
toned on corruption. lie was in love
with tho English system as u existed In
tho last century, thoroughly rotten from
top to bottom, and he labored to transplant
whatever he could of that system.
"The Senate Of tho great State of Ohio
has just indicted n Hamiltonian Senator
for bribery and debauehory in securing n
high Office. A grand jury in Pennsylvania
has just indicted another Hnmitonian
Senator for robbing the treasury of the
State Almost every great trust appears
to have one or more IIamitonian Senators
rs standing conveniences.
Other great questions vital to our exist.
enco have been evolved by the age and
must be met. But the financial question
is basic and central. II il the mother OF
n whole brood Of evils. Fiancial specu-
lators Of the East and Europe want tho alb
solute power to control average prices.
Therefore they want silver and grcenbacks
wiped out, so as to make everything rest
on gold-this they can casly corner-then
with u monopoly of issuing paper money
they can concentrate everything into a
few hands

MIGHT BE ELECTED.

Some little time ago. Henry
WattcrSon proposed, rs the next
Democratic national ticket, Rear
Admiral Dewey and Major General
Fltzhugh Lee for President and
Wee President respectively.
1t is apparently not known with
any certainty that Admiral Dewey
is even n Democrat, but it was the
same with General Zach Taylor in
lS4S. The bluff and blunt old sol
dicr had never given any attention
to politics, and it is doubtful if he
had ever formulated any clear IDEAS
of the distinctions of party doctri.
nes but he had just come victorious
out Of the war with Mexico and his
name was eagerly caught up by
popular acclaim. He was plainly
one man who could be elected. The
Wings had suffered defeat in the
previous election. Their standard
bearer, who had been so badly un-
horsed, was no other than Henry
Clay himself. There was no Wing
leader who could hope to be elected
on strictly party grounds, and avail
ability became the chief cOnsidcra-
ton in selecting n candidate.
Thus it was in lS4S, when Pres
sident Polk's administration was
drawing toa close. The successful
and brilliant campaigns Of the War
with Mexico had been commenced
and completed during Polk term;
het l,o sepinod nv givry, no prostigc,
from it. Civilians, no matter how
much they may have to do with a
war, are entirely lost to public view
in comparison with the men who
did the fighting. General Taylor,
who was the popular hero Of that
war, was the one man whose cleo
ton was assured, and so the Wings
took him up, and the people, with
out regard to party, elected him.

Those who adunaata tho nnnnvat ION of
the Philippines call themselvs expansion
lists, but they arc really imperialists. Tho
word expansion would describe tho ac-
QUESTION of territory to be populated by
a homogeneous people, and to be carved
into States like those now in existence.
An empire suggests variety in race and
diversity in government. The impe-
rialsts do not desire to clothe the l'ilipnos
with all the rights and privileges OF
American citizenship they want to cxer-
else sovereignty over an alien raco and
they expect to rule tho new subjects upon
n theory entirely at variance with consti-
tutional government. Victoria is Queen
of Great Britain and Empress of India
shall we change the title of our Executive
and call him tho President of the United
States and Emperor Of the Philippines ?
