with that view are Senator Morgan

general understanding is that Mr.. Nor

Bryan is an anti-imperalist while Sena-
tor Morgan is the most vigorous I'M
perialist in the Senate. He objects
to Bryan chiefly on the Philippine CUES

that German prefers Il man whose views

majority in the Senate assured,
the Republican party might recon-
cile itself to a net loss OF tv o SEN
ators for two years. But the loss
will not stop here. AT the next
election, as all observers agree,
Delaware and California will be
carried by the Democrats. The
Senatorial vacancies will be filled
by Democrats who will hold Office
for four Years-that is to say, dur
ing the entire ensuing Presidential
term. This will make a difference

ingly; that there is fascination
in the breaking of any law which
attacks individual liberty; that the
taste for stimulants pertains to
humanity as a race, and though
perhaps to be educated out Of the
individual is not to be legislated
away from communities: that in
those countries where ale, beer and
wine are free, there is less drunk
enness than in our land where the
selling and drinking OF stimulants
is under repression.
The people who make this tur-
moil shut their eyes to facts. They
do not want to hear CT any facts that
prove counter to their prejudices.
Hence they revolt whenever a
proposition is made to sell liquor
under a license that makes the
seller responsible, that does away
with sneaking, spying and hypoc-
risy, that induces the dealer to
make his place clean and attract
i've, and to surround it with moral
as well as sanitary safeguards,
knowing that the eye OF the whole
public is now upon him. We are
glad to hear that this town is again
confronted by the question OF
license. 1t has no doubt wearieG

ened OF the quality Of its liquors,
it has indeed viewed with envy the
sums raised in other ;ities by
license, and that must be made up

often unjust taxation.

ITALY, rHk VATICAN AND EUROPE.

The statement circulated last week, to
the effect that Italy had demanded and
obtained a 'lease" OF the port and

Chinese coast has not been substan.
uated. 1t is true that Italy made the
demaud; but il Is now reported that the

The conclusion at Peking grows
deeper. Sir Claude Macdonald is said
to. have addressed a note to the Tsungli
Hamen supporting the Italian demands,
while the Dowager is said to be urging
them to greater resistance. Russia,
being established in force within striking
distance of Peking, proposes to with
draw the guard of marines protecting
the legation, and the other powers,
which do not occupy the same advan
tageous position, will be requested to
follow her self sacrificing example. At
the same time Russian pressure on the
Tsungli Yamen is steadily increasing,
with the object OF forcing that body to
break its contract with the Hong Kong
and Shanghai Bank, on the strength OF
which 62,5oo 900 of English money has
Just been subscribed. Austria is also

The Ennobling influence Of Women
an Politics,

The good people OF Colorado
who have persistentlY advocated
that the right OF women 30 vote
and hold office was a purifying
influence in State politics are right
now considerably worried.
1t seems that there was a bill
before the Legislature which would
have put Colorado Springs and
Cripple Creek in different counties.
1t raised a big commotion, and
public sentiment was tanned into a
fever by the arguments OF the
opposing factions. Finally the
fellows that fought the passage Of
the bill made a plot to put it to
sleep by piece of strategy. Their
plan was to have two of the female
members Of the Legislature invite
two of the male advocates OF the
bill to a little supper, and while
the latter were so entranced with
the bewitching attentions of their
hosts as to be off their guard a
subsidized waiter was to put a
lew knock-out-drops in the or beer
wine or whatever beverage she
masculine Legislators were drink
ing.
This ingenious plot miscarried
from some cause. Either the men
were shy, scenting danger in the
air, or else the ladies couldn't re-
sist giving the thing away prema
turely. AT all events the dinner
and the Knockout scheme failed
to materialize, and one OF the al
legged female conspirators has
told the whole story. The ami
woman sufiragists are in great glee
over the expose. and make all
sorts of sarcastic comment on the
ennoblIng influence of women in
politics.

The Saloon in Porto Rico.
Ohio ,Skake Record.


The modern saloon Is to be introduced
IN Puerto Rico. and the fact causes great
mental anguish to a certain prohibition
writer whose correspondence has been
made public at the usual space rates.
He deplores the Introduction Of the
modern saloon, but admits that through
out the island there are numberless little
''stores" along public highways and
upon every street in the cities and vii.
lagos where the only stock in trade is
rum, just as there is rum in every "boot
leg" in Kansas. Bread, meat and the
substantials of lire are not kept in Puerto
Rican stores--there is nothing but rum.
He says everybody drinks, and LIQUOR
costs less than bread. Yet he presents
the idiotic argument that it would be
crime against these semi civilized people
to substitute a Hunted number ~ 6rst
class saloons for the myrisds Of rum
shops and brothels He declares that
the people are oensely ignorant and
morally depraved, "sixty percent OF
them living IN a state Of fconcubinage,"
and yet he fears for their welfare when
we endeavor to apply our modern
American methods OF government!
He is a characteristic Prohibition
demagOgue!
Puerto Rico, before the Americ ms
began to demoralize her people with
the modern saloon and other institutions
known to the highest civilization, was
the ideal countryI
The adhsrents Of the Anti Saloon
League should go there and colonIze
the country; we could spare them; and,
from the statements Of the ge ntlemen
referred to, it is probably better suited
to them than IS this country,whers they
seem to find o ,casion to complain con-
tinually Of everything.
In that country bread and meat are Of
such exorbitant prices as to be out OF
the reach of the people. They have to
pay high price for -four, and then pay
a tax tor the privilege OF making it into
bread!
Consequently, il is cheaper to drink
whisky which is tax free, Just as it is in
Prohibition Kansasl
The people CO. habit most scandalously
because there is a tax OF $500 upon
marriage certificates
This is ideal Anti-Saloon League
political eConoEly-ensc ct prohibitory
laws, repeating all whisky and saloon
tax laws, and blindly say that the liquor
traffic does not exist
Raise taxes any old way-even inaug-
urating a reign OF free love by a
prohibitive marriage tax Such a state
of society IS a logical sequence OF the
supremacy OF the policy that all sin is to
be condoned except drunkenness, ;, which
by the way is not mentioned in the
| Decalogue, while various "indiscre-
tons which are there specifically
condemned. are of notoriously frequent
occurrence in radical prohibition COM
munities where the scandal monger can
always find a sweet morsel to roll under
her tongue. IL is not clear that the
introduction of the institution OF modern
American civilization will be a very
great injury to the Puerto Ricans, and
the good work will doubtless proceed
! with due alacrity.

Miles vlndIoared-wbat Of Esgan2

Miles VIndicated-Wbat Of Eegan?
Every charge that Gen. Miles
made concerning Inequality ofthe
beefissued by Eagan's department
to the troops has been irrefutably
proved by testimony before the
Board of Inquiry. Indeed the case
is shown By unimpeachable testi-
monY to have been even worse
than he represented it.
1t is proved that beefwas sent to
the front in a condition which lett
the men no choice but to bury it
or throw it into the sea. 1t is
proved that the so called canned
roast beef was not roast beef at all,
but the stringY remains Of beef out
OF which the nutritive elements
had been extracted by boiling;
that much OF it was spoiled even
before it was canned. and all of it
nauseatinG and unwholesome.
AS to the "embalmed" beef, we
have had almost passionate pro-
testations from the packers that no
chemicals were ever used by them.
Yet Edward Mason, 4 commissary
sergeant OF the regular army, con-
FIRMS the cloud of witnesses al
ready heard. He testiies that a
carload OF such beef was rejected
by him and that Armour's agent
admitted the embalming and gave
a technical name, "Preservatine,"
to the preparation used.
In oriei, Gen. Miles's charges
are so conclusively proved by tes-
timony of which this is only an ex-
ample that no honest mind can
longer doubt the truth,
Thus Gen. Miles is vindicated.
But how about Eagan2 He is the
man responsible for these frauds
upon the helpless troops. Thanks
to the Presidents preposterOus
clemency, Eagan is still an officer
of the army and answerable to a
court martial for his now proved
misdeeds. When is a court mar
tial to be called in his case2
