Philippines to be mustered out OF the serv-
ice, and imperialism Is a strange word to
apply to the efforts Of the United States to
establish its authority over territory which
it holds by the double title of conquest and
purchase. The United States does not pro-
pose to raise, by CONSUMPTION. and main
tain at enormous expense a standing army
of 10000 men in time OF peace. as Germany
does, nor is she trying to share the parti-
ton Of China and Africa as Germany is.
II COMMUNICATIONS want to find mill
tarism and Imperialism they must go TO the
fatherland for them. They do not exist in
this country. AS President Mckinley said,
in his speech at Boston, on the 10th of Feb
ruary last, mo imperial designs Turk in the
American mind. They are alien to American
sentiment. thought and purpose" The
words used by the German newspaper pub
fishers of Missouri have been introduced in
current discussion for a misleading and
mischievous purpose. They are out Of place
in the American vocabulary and should be
confined to the countries and the languages
where they belong.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.

The reader of the special kilograms re-
garding European affairs in two or three
leading papers of yesterday will be more
puzzled than If he had no news upon the
subject. One of these kilograms announces
that Russia has located a port on the Gulf
of Persia and that Great Britain is alarmed
at the Cars aggressiveness because 1t is
regarded as a plot to undermine British
supremacy in the Persian gulf. 1t Is
claimed that this concession has been made
to Russia because its trade is already en-
croaching upon the British in Persia. AS
this is an indication that Russia is a rival
Of England's for trade. the story does not
seem probable, since Russia is not a rival
for trade in it's own products with any ma
ton 1t Is not a manufacturing nation and
is not considered as a commercial rival by
any country. OF all the larger nations its
ain in expanding it's borders seems to be to
obtain control over territory. to be military
rather than industrial. At present and for
years Russia is not and has not been a rival
in commerce. with Great Britain or Ger
many. Its people are not skilled in the
varied industries. and they seem to lack
the education and the adaptation to become
extensive manufacturers.
The other report is to the effect that the
rulers Of Great Britain and Russia have
come to an understanding. For years. the
report says, they have been jealous of each
other and each has been trying TO circum-
vent the other. At last the two govern
ments have discovered that there is no cause
for .his jealousy. They are not rivals. Rus
STA needs capital and has a which
is shut out Of other European countries
by hostile tariffs. Continental financiers are
no longer willing to lend to Russia AS the
latter must borrow money it is compelled to
turn to Great Britain, which not only has
money to lend but merchandise to sell. The
authors of this report, which appears in the
London Times. predict that the end has
come to the senseless policy of jealousy and
hostility between Russia and Great Britain.
There Is a reasonableness in this report
which leads one to imagine that there may
be something in 1t. In no commercial sense
are Great Britain and Russia rivals; on the
other hand, more than any great nations
in Europe, if not in the world, each needs
the other. 1t is said that the only obstacles
are political-a feeling of prejudice that has
existed for years. But race or political
diversions cannot be kept alive when COM
mercial interests draw the two peoples to-
gether. The wonder is that the reported
understanding has not existed for years.
Neither of these conflicting reports may
have any foundation in fact, but the latter
seems the more probable for the reason that
England has what Russia needs and Russia
has markets for British merchandise.
