POLICY OF IMPERIALISM
Continued from page ~

and outragcs which blacken our fair

seem to have lost all sense OF humanity
In that which essentially constitutes ed

seem i'll a large measure 10 have failed.
1t Is. OF course, possible TO take a
different and brighter view OF Our con-
dltlon by emphasizing our wealth, our
national progress. Our growth in num-
bers, our enlightenment and our enter
prise; but wise man gives little heed
10 that Ill which he succeeds. that he
may better study Wherein he fails Why
should we turn from what is unpleasant
ii by considering it we may learn useful
lessons? Ii we but have the courage TO
look steadiastly and to see things as
they are, we shall easily see that our
true work lies here and not thousands
OF miles away. We are the foremost
bearers OF the precious treasure oi the
race. In the success OF the experiment
which we are making the hopes OF all
noble and generous souls for higher
lie OF mankind are centcrcd. Ii we fail
the world fails; i; we succeed we shall
do more lor the good OF all men than
ii we conquered all the islands and con
tincnts. Our mission is 10 show ;ha,
popular government OH 4 vast scale is
compatible with the best culture, the
purest religion, the highest Justice, and
that it can permanently endure In
comparison with this what would be a
thousand groups oi Philippines? What
the most brilliant career OF imperial
pomp and glory?
When the American people resolve
not to hold what they never intended to
take possession of. they will have little
difficulty in finding 4 solution OF this
Philippine difficulty Above all. let them
rot be misled by vanity, let them not
harkcn to the siren voice oi English flat
terry, let them not stop to think that
what other nations Shall say, but let
them, as becomes great. a free and en-
lightcncd people be i-drected hold

What are the English anyhow?
There's more German spoken in Wind

THE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS
The Recommendations of Gov. Lind
Ignored by Them.
Reform Pr

Reform Press Bureau
The late and unlamcntcl legislature
having departed it is fitting to pass in
review and see how the record stands as
to what was pledged by the reform add
ninistration oi the state, and what ii
main, by the Republican majortics in
house and senate
The pledges OF Governor Lind and
the reform forces were thus expressed
in Governor Lind's speech at the Ex-
position building. Minneapolis. Oct. 10.
last:
The task that we have set for us in
this state, by the platform adopted by
our forces, is to SO reform the admins
tration of the laws and conduct of the
affairs OF the public as to secure to the
producers OF the state a more just pro-
portion OF the products of their toll: to
save to the public what is lett Of the pub
lie riches of the state: to see to it that
taxation shall be as just and equal as
possible, and that every penny collected
from the people shall be honestly ex-
pended and devoted to public and not
to personal or partisan purposes; to give
| the people an efficient and economical
administration OF our state institutions,
and to confer upon the citizens a direct
voice in legislation"
When Governor Lind, in discharge Of
his constitutional duty, laid before the
assembled legislature the suggestions
necessary to meet these pledges, and to
care for the needs Of the people asccr-
tanned by painstaking investigation, he
formulated them into more than twenty
specific recommendations. The princi-
pal OF them, and the result at the hands
OF the Republican majority, may thus be
condensed:
Reduction of the tax levy OF at least
$40 mills-left at former rate of s
mills.
Result on five recommendations for
increase of state revenues:
To reach, by tax commission or
otherwise, all the taxable property OF
the state-no action.
Taxation of franchises and of foreign
incorporations-no action on former
latter adopted.
Taxation of express, telegraph, tele-
phone and sleeping car companes-ac-
ton on one only.
Increase of gross earnings tax OF rail-
road companies-killed by railroad lob
by in the senate.
Increase OF per cent tax on Great
Western railroad, to equal other COM
panies-defcatcd.
| Detailed reforms IN administration OF
present, ample normal schools-re-
Spouse an additional institution at Du-
luth.
Free text books, as means for check

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
The Eccentric Citizen Delivers a RAM
bling Discourse.

The name OF George Francis Train
was widely known to the American peo-
pie quarter Of century ago. He
was considered an orator of the erratic
sort and drew vast audiences. He now
lives in New York, where he publishes
paper for cranks. Recently he deliv-
cred lecture at the Manhattan Liberal
club in that city, OF which the following
report is given by the New York Times:
The subject as announced was anglo
nlaniacs,' but the speaker did not con-
fine himself strictly to its discussion.
During the course OF his remarks he
took occasion to touch briefly upon the
origin OF egotism, the slaughter of the
English language. the comparative in
tlucncc OF George Washington and
| Thomas Paine, upon expansion, the
secret OF longevity, capital punishment,
the influence Of Anthony Comstock
upon the life and letters OF America,

achievements of Professor mike" Don

the audience by Mrs. Huldah F. Gum,
the president of the club. The speaker
gave the military salute and threw off
his overcoat, displaying an enormous
bunch of lilies of various hues pinned
ON his coat lapel and brilliant red sasi,
about his waist

he said, "but. l see you still have good
deal of bad air about the room. Please
open window. I'll furnish all the gas

He then drew forth strip of paper
several yards in length, on which were
pasted newspaper clippings referring to
himself. "Now, the beauty OF all this
