GENUINE IMPERIALISM.
The Infamous Plan of the Adminis-
tratiOn Regarding the New
Possessions.

For the genuine article of imperial
ism the public will have to go to the
report of the insular commission on the
form of government Porto Rico should
have. 1t suggests no half way sort of
status, but goes right to the root and
essence of autocracy. The commission
recommends that the president alone
should determine the form of govern
ment and appoint all the officers with
out responsibility to any earthly power.
And the reason why the commission
wants the president to run the whole
business to suit himself is because if
left to congress it might make the is
lands part of the lawful or ra ther con-
stitutional territory of the United
States, and it knows that the president
could be trusted to hold the island as
dependency and concede no political
rights 10 the inhabitants.
This is the first intima ton that the
plan, of the administration is to place
Porto Rico and the Philippines under
executive rather than under constitu-
tional control. The present congress
could be trusted, no doubt, to do as
the president recommended in the
premises, but a democratic congress
would never suffer such power to be
lodged in any president. 1t is for that
reason the insular commission recon-
mends, under orders, no doubt, that
congress be deprived of all right to
legislate for the colonies, leaving them
to be run by the president without legal
restraint or bounds. 1t is a very clever
scheme TO make imperialism fact in
the colonies with imperial authority
centered upon William Mckinley in
Washington. But while it is clever
trick it is also a most Infamous one, for
if congress is relieved of the right to
legislate for our island possessions it
could be relieved of the right to legis
late for the home territories and states.

TWO INDIAN SOUVENIRS.
Typical War Dances Recorded by
the PhonoSraph for the Ethno-
logical Museums.

''The government chronological bureau
has gone to extraordinary pains to pre-
serve a complete record of the vanish
ing Indian races" said an employe OF
the department of the interior recently.
Take the Apaches, for instance. In
addition to an enormous collection OF
costumes, weapons, implements, deco
rations and all the articles used in their
daily life the bureau has lately added
two souvenirs of unique interest. About
a year ago several agents were sent to
one of the western reservations anu
took Photographic record at num-
ber of typical war dances. The instru-
ment was operated by chemical bat
terry weighing over 100 pounds, and res
corded not only the chants, but the eX'
clamations of the spectators and even
the thudding of the feet.
Last spring the same dances were
repeated in front of a vitascope pho
tographing machine, and years after
the last Apache has gone to the happy
hunting grounds the ancient ceremony
may be seen and heard exactly as 1t
was. The general public knows but
very little about the chronological mu-
scum, but it is one of the most interest.

Parity of the Metals Could Be Re.
established by the Unit
ed States.

In determining what a powerful eff
feet such nation as the United States
would have in establishing the parity
of the metals, we must take into con-
sideration the pivotal position that il
occupies as to the monetary systems of
the world. The silver standard ma
tions, which make their demands upon
silver alone for currency, constitute
One-fOurth of the nations of the world
in comercial Importance. The world
is then divided into nations, one-fourth
of which are upon the silver standard,
and three-fourths of which are upon the
gold standard. The United States alone
constitutes in wealth, commerce and
power at least one-fourth of the world.
Let that power of the United States be
transferred from gold to silver, and you
Immediately have the world divided into
equal parts-one-half the nations in
commercial importance making their
demands upon gold-and thus we have
an equal demand upon equal metals,
which, according to the principle Of
supply and demand, must make an
equal price. Great as the government
is, there is something still greater, and
that is the people Of the United States.
We are the greatest producers and con-
sumers or the face of the globe. Our
75,000,0OO of people are equal to 7O0,-
100000 of the average of the balance of
the world. 1t is strange, but never
theless true. that many Americans do
not appreciate the great power and
wealth of this country, and it is remark
able that in order to prove our high po-
sition among the nations we have to
quote from foreign authorities. Mr..
MulhaIl, an eminent statistician Of Eng
land, few years ago, in an article in the
North American Review, analyzed the
effective force and power of this coun-
try and made the startling statement
that in power and effective force the
United States was nearly equal to Great
Britain, France and Germany CON.

THE SERIOUS CEREUS.
Fir, Smith Thinks There Are Times
When They Amount to

DFSmR SMITH l0euned lsroaned Serious? Well, should
say so. They are tragedy. We have one
in our family, and just as soon as L can per-
suade my wife to go down to her mother
for few days that hoodoo OF a botanical
specimen goes in the ash barrel. FOR some
reason or otl er my wife decided that the
cereus was gylng to bloom last night. 1t has
threatened to bloom so many times and then
backed out at the last minute that nobody
but a woman would have any more taltn III
it. But it was a sure thing this time and
Mrs. Smith sent runners all over town TO
summon our friends in to see that dastardly
thing burst into flower; certain billed to
blossom out at midnight. When L came
home Mrs. Smith said:
Nov, Henry, night blooming cereus is
something you don't see IN flowers more
than once in a century-or Is it thousand
years? Anyway it's an awful long time.
And I've invited the Jones and the Collinses

ried out of the study to clear suitable
place for that confounded cereus. 1t took

AFRAID TO BE AFRAID.
A Situation in Which 1t Was Dam
gerous to Show the Slight
est Fear.

There are situations in which timid
man cannot, out of consideration for
his own safety, show the slightest fear.
A writer describes such situation on
board a ship which was transporting a
great number of coolies across the
ocean, many of them desperate and
brutal men.
One day at luncheon in the saloon the
passenger heard horrible yells and
shouts of eta! tai" CA fight! fghtD
''Hullo!" the captain said. Another
jolly row below! Better stay where you
are You'll find loaded revolver in my
room if anyone attempts to molest
you.'

a fierce-looking English bull, the cap
tain went on deck to see what was the
agely; broken bowls and pieces of fire.
wood were flying about, and several of
the men had ugly-looking knives drawn.
Into the midst of them walked the cap
tain, knocking first one and then an
other aside.
One fearful-loolling coolie aimed a
blow at him with broken basin, but
before the blow could descend the dog
brought the man down on his back and
held him there. The two principal of
tenders were caught, their heads
banged together until the fight was out
of them and an explanation asked. Ev-
erybody wanted to talk at once, but the
captain held up his hand till there was
silence, and then called one man after
another and heard each through an in
terpreter.
The row turned out to have been
caused by man trying to light his
pipe at an opium smokers lamp. The
most trivial thing often caused the
worst fight. After all was over the pas
senger said to the captain: "Are you
not afraid of these people?"
"Yes." said the captain, 'to tell the
truth, | am. But to show the least fear

RUFFLES DADS DIGNITY.
The Young Baseball ROOter Causes
His PaternaI to Feel Too
Prominent.

He is a Chicago board of trade man, Dig
nifed to degree, has luXuriant, bushy side
whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball. He also has a son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the elder enjoys
the playing in a solid, placid, contented way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last Chicago-St. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the intense strain of knowing that st. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after
long, hard spurt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had doffed his cap thrice
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with either
hand.
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
his devoted dad, the six-year-old rooter fair
ly yelled: 20, pap, don't you wish you
had mustache like Jimmie Ryan ?"-Chi-

ISSUES OF PROMINENCE.
Imperialism and Trusts VIII Be the
Foremost Questions of the
Next Campaign.

There can be little doubt that among
the paramount issues of the campaign
next year will be the questions of trusts.
imperialism and militarism.
That the matter of bimetallism will
be shelved is not at all likely, but in
stead of one issue, as in 1896, there will
be several of vital Importance in 1900.
In discussing this matter, the Pitts
burgh Post, conservative and consist
ent democratic newspaper, we'll says:
'In our judgment these twin ques-
tions of Imperialism and militarism, as
presented by the wicked and uncalled-
for Philippine war; constitute the most
supremely important question that has
ever gone to the American people for
their decision, short of the slavery and
secession problems determined by the
civil war.
1--WE believe they involve the mainte-
nance and perpetdity of the govern
ment as it has been handed down to the
present generation of Americans by the
fathers of the republic. McKinley's pol
icy, SO far as his policy can be guessed
dI DR SuII SI1G 6NeulS anu administrative
developments, is fully as perilous to the
future of the republic as was the seces-
sion programme of jefferson Davis.
ut is, as Mr.. Bryan has declared,
paramount question, more important,
and for the time and until finally de-
termihed, superseding all others. Sill
yer may bide its time. 1t is not a dead
issue by any means, but the peril OF inn
perialism and militarism are present
issiies and must be settled for veal or
woe within year,
These views will meet with the ap-
proval of most democrats; even those
who are insistent as to the silver issue
can find no serious fault with them.
Events of the last three years have
moved rapidly. Mckinley is engaged
in removing the old landmarks and the
people must be up and doing if they
hope to rescue the republic from the
hands of imperialistic plotters.
There is no subtraction tc be made
from the Chicago platform, but some
additions of vital moment are rendered
necessary by the trend of the times
