years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tntional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Some of orr ..exnansionist. J, friend

Some of our ''eXpanSioniSt," friends
claim there is no difference in the
a cquisition of territory in the far-off
Philippines and the expansion which
took in Louisiana. In an article on ga
Question of National Honor, "publish-
ed in the Conservative RecieW for May,
Hon. VIM. Henry Fleming cogently
answers that point in the following
language: "No half truth could be
further from the whole truth. The
taking of that vacant domain in the
temperate zone represented genuine
American expansion, because Ameri-
can citizens could make homes there,
rear families, and develop the same
sturdy civilization, based on equality
Of rights, that existed in the older
States. But our American citizens
our white race-cannot make perma-
nent homes as far down in the tropics
as the Philippine Islands, already
thickly populated with an accllmated
race, nor have our imperialistic poll
ticians any intention of giving the
Filpinos the full and equal rights of
other American citizens. A promi-
nent physician, now residing in Cali
fornia, who graduated eight years ago
from the University of Leiden, in his
native country-of Holland, and who
is familiar with Dutch Colonial affairs,
writes in recent letter: SIN the
Dutch East Indies Europeans only
survive to the second generation. A
third generation is unknown" That
the imperialists have no intention of
beneyolently expanding American
equality of citizenship so as to en-
brace the Filipinos, nor of making the
Philippine Islands a co-equal part of
our country, is manifest from the fol-
lowing extract, taken from the Nc
Emery resolution, that passed the Sem
ate on February Ia, 1899, by the vote
of the Administration party:
Resolved ETC., ''That by the ratiti-
cation of the treaty of peace with
Spain, it is not intended to incorpor-
ate the inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands into citizenship of the United
States. nor is it intended to perma-
nently annex said islands as an integ-
raj part of the territory of the United
States" thus attempting to reverse
the legal and constitu tional results of
what they had done in ratifying the
treaty without amendment.
In other words, we Americans will
not concede to the Filipinos the
rights that pertain to American indie
pendence, nor will we permit them to
have their own independence; which,
being further translated into plain
words, means, the Philippine Islands
are to be neither States nor territories,
but colonial dependencies, governed,
in defiance of our own Constitution,
by military satrap at the will of an
alien power. Evidently this is not the
extension of Americanism, but the
adoption of new policy foreign to ev-
cry principle of Americanism. Expan-
sion means the enlarging of the same
thing, not the taking on of different
thing. No one but a blind man ought
to have any difficulty in Distinguish
ing between the expansion of Jetfer-
son and the Imperialism of Mckinley.
One was the natural evolutionary
growing of the Republic. The other
is foreign fungus that, if not remov-
ed, will sap the life of the Republic. -

Thoughts Addressed to Young
Men.

Nearly one million young men will
reach the age of 81 years between this
time and election time in 1900. Nearly
a million and a half of other young
men will cast their first vote for presi-
dent next year, making an aggregate
of two and half millions who will for
the first time have an opportunity to
vote for that Office. With all these
the trust problem should be matter

Against imperialism.

German day. which is celebrated
in honor of the first landing of German
coloniStS in America, was formally OBJ
served in Des Moines Thursday last.
The exercises were in the Auditorium.
an large number of German Ameri-
cans were present. AS at the recent
reception to Mr.. White in Dubuque,
the sentiment was overwhelmingly in
opposition to Mckinley IS warupon the
Filipinos. 1t was first voiced by Col.
Eiboeck, who presided, and later it
was echoed by other speakers. "The
German is in general no politician, no
office hunter" said Colonel Eiboeck in
the course of his address. "This, he
continued, sis proven by the fact that
comparatively few COMMUNICATIONS
lare in office. Thus, for instance, no
German ever held a state office in this
great state of Iowa, with half a mil
lion of Germans and their descendants,
with the exception OF the office of
school superintendent, and forty years
ago lieutenant governor. Neverthe-
less, he does not forget his duties as a
citizen, and although usually no strong
partisan, he takes an active interest
at the ballot box and casts his vote
conScientiouSly and with view and
desire for reform and the welfare of
the country. 1t is thrown up to the
Germans that they are not patriotic
because they cannot coincide with the
lingo papers in the matter of eNpan-
Sion-forcible conquestof foreignl lands
as step toward Imperialism, which
brings in its train the necessity of a
powerful standing army, and what the
latter means they have learned through
bitter experience in their own coun-
try, knowing that standing army is
a curse to every country which must
maintain one." Gustave Donald of
Rock Island affirmed that German
Americans understand both the word
and the spirit of 5the declaration of
independence. And they believe to-
day, as they always have believed that
'sall men are created free and equal.
Therefore they take firm stand
against the policy of Imperialism and
conquest" Rabbi Sonneschen of Des
Moines, formerly of ST. Louis, was en-
Enthusiastically applauded for denounc-
ing Great Britain spolicy in the Trans
vaal, a policy similar in spiritand pur-
pose to McKinley's in the Philippines.
The president may make as many
campaign tours and deliver as many
stump speeches as he pleases, but he
will never convince those who fled
from where they were governed against
their will and came to the United
States to enjoy the blessing of govern
ing themselves that his attempt to
impose American rule on the Filipinos
by brute force and against their con-
sent is right. Nor will he persuade
native-born citizens who comprehend
and are welded to the principles on
which this republic is based that his
assault upon the rights and liberties
of the Filipinos is not crime.-Du-
