"The Americans here have decided to

BoURKE coCHRANs SPEECH.


W. Bourke Cochran, the next speaker,
said: This heresy of imperialism
sweeping oyer the country is threaten
ins the stability of our institutions and
Que measure of free government. 1t is
policy of infamy. N this country of
ours. the home of aliea races, we are
now raising aloft our hands in protest
against a policy which, if successful,
will obscure the horizon o. the whole
human race Shall this country step
down from the high eminence Which
she has attained IN the family of na-
ticns, in the matter of imperialism!
" When we are asked to take this steD.
it is but natural that we ask lis rro-
mulgators TO unraVel their Drctenses,
and when we do so We ind them advo-
eating contradictory, arguments. The
question of imperialism ard expansion,
boiled down 10 it's true import, is L
dangerous policy TO eithe- adopt or pur-
sue. The inDerialists tell you that
trade follows the flag when, in fact,
every American knows that the oDpo-
site is the case. 1t is The lag that fol-
lows trade. Is it part Of the principles
Of our free and jndependent govern
ment to proceed to civiliZe = weaker
people By first shooting and then rob
bing them? We shrink from the respon-
Sihility imposed upon us by destiny,
and when we fail 10 be convinced of
this appeal to destiny we are charged
with being un-Amercdn. This child OF
destiny is a new growth in this coun-
try but in the old world he is as cid
as human deDravity.
No nation, particularly the Amer
ican nation, can have a citizen sOidiery
and q mercenary army 1t is against
the faith CT Washington and the signers
of the declaration Of Independence. The
imperialists of today would have you
believe that Washington and the franz
ers Of the constitution descended on
the capitol of Washington and played
havoc with the nation and were, of
course, decidedly un-American.
with regard to the Philippines, if we
are to become barbarOus. let Us excel
in our barbarity as we have excelled
in our civilization, all the other nations
Of the world. Let us not substitute the
weight Of cannon balls for moral inte-
gritty and support. l confess I am in
favor of expansion, if it is meant in
the right direction. In this case every
thing depends on what is meant by the
right direction. If we want expansion,
why. here TO the north of us lies a
country which is a natural part of US
Why not annex Canada? I'd be de-
lighted TO see that line of customs
houses beyond our border blown into
the great lakes and our linesof terri
tory to the north of US extended to
Bafin's bay. Deeply as I desire annex
alton with Canada, I would not have it
by force of arms. The histories of AL
sace and Lorraine and England's treat
ment of Ireland but too we'll illustrate
the foolishness Of annexation by force
or coercion. Now. if England likes us
as she claims she does, let her convince
Canadians that their true destiny is
with us"

The members Of the city council were
in very goody goody mood last night.
They were In session very short time.
an the promoter Mr.. Poetic, was not
present to tell the council what great
big thisg he had on hand and about
those Nebraska millionaires with whom
he is in sahoots.
The council was not nearly 90 much
in hurry TO grant tho franchise a. they
seemed to be at the last session. They
wanted to know moro about Mr.. Poetic
and what Mr.. Peetie represented.
No one could tell, or'at least they did
not tell, why Mr.. Peetie Was not present
at the session of council to forward his
scheme.
Speaking of the plant Mr.. Starr said
he had been told by Mr.. Poetic that the
plant that his company lin prospest)
would erect In this sity would have suf-
fcient capacity to supply a city Of 2b.O00
people.
Mr.. Starr must have misunderstood
the promoter because at previous
meeting he said he thought the plant
that they would erect would cost about
5000 II his plant is to supply city
of 25OOO people, it would cost several
times $4,000. The fact becomes more
plain all the time that, Mr.. Poetic
did not know what he was talking about
and had very little idea Of the cost Of
any size electric plant.
Alderman Wharton had evidently
been reading The Sentinel very carefully
because he said that he had written to
Mr.. Peetie yesterday afternoon asking
him quite number Of pertinent ques-
tions and suggesting that he answer
them by letter.
Alderman Starr said that tho ordi-
nanee that had been introduced needed
only three or four corrections and then
he thought it would be all right. He
thought the council should make them
there at that session.
Mr.. Hadcock said that the promoter
was not there to tell council anything
about the proposed plant and that they
should not bother with the proposition.
Mr.. Mckinney said he did not think
it made any difference whatever II man
was granted franchise and sold 1t the
next day, 80 long a. the city said what
they wanted from the company. He
thought council should fx the franchise
to suit themselves, and after 1t contained
the provisions necessary, II any one
wanted to place plant on the city's
own terms then they could grant 1t.
There was some more talk about Civ
ing bond etc., and then it was moved
that council adjourn until next Tuesday
night.
The membess were not very enthus-
iastic about granting franchise to Mr..
Peetie and seemed to want to know all
about that gentleman, his schemes and
hackers, before they would consent to
do anything towards granting him
franchise.
