No Enaorssment Of Imper,sI,s,n,

There is small comfort for the Nc.
Kinley administration and other ad-
vocates of tho un-American policy Of
military Imperialism and expansion in
the results of Tuesdays State
elections. In every instance where
the course Of the administration was
forced into the campaign as the
premier issue, the administration was
rebuked, either by Democi attic
victory or a large reduction of the
customary Republican majority.
Most markedly is this fact shown by
the returns from Nebraska. Here the
Fusion majority Of over 1900 given to
Bryan in 1896 had been reduced by last
year to bare 1900, but yesterday,
after campaign waged upon the sole
issue of imperialism, the Fusion ma
iority promises to exceed the figures
by which Bryan carried the State three
years ago. Had it not been for this un-
popular issue, thero is small doubt
that Bryan would have been re-
pudiated.
In Ohio, the Presidents own State.
it is probable that the regulation Re-
publican majority has been consider
ably reduced, although there is no
ground for any Democratic claims of
victory. State pride alone should have
kept the Republican majority uf to
top-notch figures, to say nothing of the
appeals of Mckinley and every member
of his administration. But the figures
prove that many voters were indifferent
to the pleading CT their fellow-citizen
President, and the large vote for Jones
serves to show the extent of their dis
content, as it included those who
would not vote the Democratic ticket,
but still refused to vote for imperialism
and expansion. Altogether, it will be
hard for Mr.. Mckinley to derive much
comfort from the Ohio election. even
if the Republican majority proves con-
siderably larger than was promised at
first.
Kentucky is in doubt, but the
probabilities point to the election Of
Goebel, the Democratic nominee for
governor, in the face of a strong
Democratic disaffection. Should the
Republican ticket pull through, 1t will
be the result of a Democratic division,
not an endorsement of imperialism.
Even hidebound, machine-rulod
Pennsylvania shows large reduction
of the recent tremendous Republican
maiorities in that State. The Rerub.
lican majority in Massachusetts, shows
falling off of at least 10000. The
Republican majority in Iowa is ma.
terially reduced. In all three Of these
States the Republicans forced the issue
of imperialism TO the front.
In Maryland, tho voters swung the
State back to its former Democratic
mooiings, in the face of Republican
State administration during the pas
four years that deserved commendation.
But the issue of Imperialism solidifiec
the Democratic voters, and they woule
not tolerate McKinley's policy, ever
by implication.
Will Mckinley heed the warning
given by large number of voters al
Tuesdays elections? Win the coming
Congress compel halt in our crue
war of conquest and aggression in tht
Philippines? If not, the Republican
party will be buried under an avalanche
of indignant American votes at tn,

The Daily Republican says it has
heard that prominent Union Republi-
cans down the State ''had profited
considerably in this worlds goods since
the fight has been going on for United
States Senator, +" and adds that money
was sent down the State during the Inst
campaign that could have been better
spent in Wilmington. Here IS a
charge that money was sent down the
State for use at the last election, ard
that some of it was stolen by party
leaders. Also, regret that some of
this money was not spent in Whining

simply because its Wilmington friends
did not have an opportunity TO steal
some of this corruption money! Has
it no word of reprobation for the act of
sending money down State to corrupt
an election, whether the money was
applied to the intended purpose or not?

More and mora defiant grow the
Union Republicans of Delaware. They
insist that the Regulars shall consent to
go into common primaries next year,
knowing that they have the votes to
take the lions share of the noinina
tions. If the Regulars refuse to thus
politically bury themselves, there will
be war to the knife. 1t will mean,
says the Union Republican Of George
town, "that the three electoral votes Of
Delaware will be given not to Re.
publican candidate, but, through dis
union, to any candidate the Democratic
party may name. If this be treason
let any one that will make the most OF
it," More than this. IL the Demo.

wheels had been marked by some un-

The YaQui rebellion, much as II

was Jack Ramsey. Had not another

1t was not, however, the Gaquls plah

It was Miller's misfortune that he
had selected him for a comrade, for by

and they reasoned that any man who
would associate with him on terms Of
friendliness was of his kind and there

pleasure and profit. Mr.. Miller was a
photographer by occupation, a thorough
master of the mechanism of the ca
mera, and a true artist in his appTecla-
tiOn and treatment of natures beauties
wherever found. 1t was his intention
to do some especially valuable work for
the San Francisco Sunday Call during
his stay in Mexico and he was eager
to begin operations without delay.
Delightful as leisurely drive
through the picturesque mountain re-
gions Of Sonora undoubtedly is there is
yet danger of misadVenture to a
stranger should he attempt to follow
the indeterminate roads Of the less
settled districts with no guidance save
his own general ideas of direction. A
congenial companion, moreover, always
makes even a pleasant journey pleas
anter, and so it was that, most unfOr-
tunately for both of them as it proved,
Mr. Miller proposed to Jack Ramsey to
make the trip to AlamOS with him in
his commodiOus and well-stOcked buck
board drawn by two strong and spirited
young horses
The men started out under the hap
piest auspices. The weather was per-
feet; their outfit all that could be de-
sired and the prospect before them of
several days of riding and working and
camping together was most satisfac-
tory to both There was no hint of any
impending trouble in the air when they
gayly said gOod-by to the little group
of loungers who gathered TO see them
off on that bright morning, there was
no thought of even possibility of evil
in either heart as Mr.. Miller gathered
I'D the reinS and started his horses on
their southwark way.
The Sierra Madres are steep and the
roadways are rugged. 1t was slow
driving, but the scenery is so mag
nificent that all difficulties of progress
are forgotten in the delight of pro-
longed vision. The trip was enjoyable
to the highest degree, both from an ar
tisttc standpoint and as an experiment
in companionship, and every one who
saw the two envted them the care-free
happiness which was so evidently
theirs. Not until they were nearly at
the end of their expedition did the
thunder-clap Of doom sound in their
unbelieving ears.
The Indian nature loves to play cat
like with its victims. 1t has a theatri-
cal appreciation of the value of con-
trasts and high and low lights. The
swift descent from the heights of hap
niness to the depths of despair adds
much in the savage mind to the desira-
bility of a situation. To merely kill for
the sake of removing an obnoxious in
6ividual from this state OF being is a
very stale and uninteresting perform
ance. Though they are not specially
prone to the use of condiments on their
food they like their revenges highly
spiCed.
Unknown to the two white men the
Yauui rebellion, ong-smoldering, had
broken out while they, unconscious
even that 1t had been planned, were
peacefully pursuing their way to their
destination, now comparatively near at
hand. Unknown to them, by means OF

shed in that disastrous battle which
had followed his betrayal Of them TO
their foes
From the day that they deliberately
and sternly arrived at this unalterable
conclusion Jack Ramsey was a doomed
man.
No thought Of this however, crossed
his mind. He had done his duty as he
saw il, and having done it the whole
affair became a matter Of the past.
Peace was proclaimed. The treaty
guaranteeing safety from any further
outbreak was signed. Every Yaqui
who promised to be good" was given
q certain amount of land and an op-
portunity did he wish it, to obtain a
thorough knowledge of some branch
of industry, together with an abund-
ance of supplies to keep him in health
and comfort until such a time as he
forgot or outgrew the desultory and
predatory habits acquired through a
decade of warfare and became once
again a respectable, steady going per-
son, Industrious and self-supporting as
Of old.
Jack Ramsey went on with his bust
ness affairs serenely and contentedly
and with no suspicion Of the truth
shadowing his honest heart It never
occurred to him that every stoIid In
dian face that he saw was but a con-
gealed lava crust hiding for the tlme
being a smOlderng and seething vol
CanO of hatred which was but waiting
for strength enough to burst out and
oTerwhelm him.
He never dreamed that every piece OF
money and every scrap of merchandise
or barter that passed from Indian hand
to his brought with it a curse as deep
and deadly as hell itself.
Jack Ramsey was of nationality
which forgets, but his enemies were
Yaquis.
Unsuspicious though he was, how
ever, fate, who often for a time seems
to exert herself to save the careless
or the ignorant from the consequences
of their own indiscretions, seemed TO
watch over him and prevent him from
falling into the hands of those to whom
his very existence was an offense that
they would never forgive.
He came and went as he would. TAX
ing no thought of himself or of possi-
BILE danger because he never dreamed
that hate was dogging his footsteps,
but careless as he was it always hap
pened that 1t was never quite possible
for his foes to work fitting revenge

themselves in reprisal.

legacy of hate, to the next in success

would be brought to fitting and salts

Ramsey was well and strong and
hearty, and those who hated him could
afford to wait. They waited for nearly
three years.

sillo when E. N. Miller arrived there
