M'KINLEY IN MINNEAPOLIS.

In his statistical speech in Minneapo-
lis last week President Mckinley made
the strongest argument OF which the
executive mind is capable in favor OF
territorial expansion and in justification
OF his policy OF imperialism. So far as
the benevolent assimilation" of contig-
uous territory in North America is con-
ccrned nobody will deny the figures
given by him, but he ought to have
given some facts as to the acquisition
of territory by purchase and the condi-
tons under which the inhabitants came
under the jurisdiction of the United
States. We trust our imperial contem-
poraries will not charge the Irish Stand
ard with "lesc majestic" when it says that
the acquisition OF Louisiana by pur-
chase in the days of Jefferson and that
OF Alaska in the days OF Lincoln is not
ambiguous to the purchase of the Phil
ippincs in the days OF Mckinley, and
that any amount OF figures as to area OF
added territory will not convince the
American people of the justice of forci-
bly, annexing the thousand islands or
more in the eastern hemisphere that lie
1000 miles beyond the western boun-
dairy of the United States. Mr.. Nc
Kinley forgot to say that all the expanse
OF territory on the American continent
which has been acquired from time to
time by the United States contains a
homogeneous people who are governed
by the same laws and with their own
consent. They make their own laws,
and for brief season they elected Mr..
Mckinley to see that the laws are ad-
ministered in accordance with the will
of the majority These self-governing
American people have never authorized
Mr.. Mckinley to wage war of exter-
mination against the first people OF
Asia who rose in rebellion against
tyranny to throw off the shackles OF
monarchy and govern themselves after
the manner OF the American republic.
Why did not Mr.. Mckinley say in his
Minneapolis speech that the Filipinos
when conquered by his 10000 soldiers
would be governed as the people OF the
American territories have been govern
ed before their admission as states OF the
union? Because he does not want them
to be Tree and independent. He wants
the Philippines to be colonial posses
sion, governed by American satraps on
the British plan. In his Minneapolis
speech he said the inhabitants OF the
islands will not be governed as vassals.
or serfs, or slaves-they will be given a
government OF liberty, regulated by law,
honestly administered, without Cypress
ing or exacting, taxation without tyran-
ny, justice without bride, education
without distinction OF social conditions
freedom OF religious worship and pro-
lection IN life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness" That sounds euphoniously

nose accents, seeing the error OF his
ways, is now declaiming vigorously on
the stump against lone tribe, and a
small portion OF that tribe" in the island
OF Luzon that has played havoc witt,
American volunteers who enlisted to free
the Cubans from Spanish oppression.
We pity the SORROWS OF William Nc
FINLEY and regret to see him placed in
such deplorabe predicament. His
days as president are numbered and
he will go out OF office a broken-hearted
man. The giving up the lives OF our
brave and best young men wrings my
heart, and ''the shedding OF blood is
anguish to my SOUL" cxclaims the pup
pet OF the corporate and commercial in
terests that are behind him and pushing
him to political ruin and destruction
GLADLY would he abandon his Philippine
policy if he could, but lie cannot do it
while controlled by the plutocracy who
made him president.
What an insult to American valor for
MIR. Mckinley to say that zone tribe,
and small portion OF that tribe" has
held out for eight months against the
big army Of the United States that has
no superior in the worlds annals. Gaze

are called savages by Teddy Roosevelt,
has been able to withstand their impet-
uous assaults. The American troops
deserve better treatment from McKin-
ley. Of all sad words yet spoken OF the
volunteers and regulars OF the United
States the uttcrance OF Mr.. Mckinley
has been the saddest and unllindest

very bitter against the president I
have always voted the republican ticket,
but although there are some thirty or
forty republicans in my company, not
one in the company will ever vote for
him, SO far as | can learn" Mr. Nc

should Lind welcome Mckinley? He
did not invite him to come The recep-
ton committee almost ignored the gov
ernor and placed him in carriage far
behind the presidential equipage, when
by right the highest man in the state
was entitled to seat of honor with the
president at the front The Mckinley
worshippers would have located him in
the very rear if they dared. Imagine
William Henry Eustis, were he elected
governor, taking back seat in the pres
idential parade.
"Johp Lind is no ignoramus," SAYS
the Journal. You bet he is not. He
knows "a hawk from handsaw" as we'll
as Mckinley does. He had the grace
full example of the mayor before him if
he did not know what was demanded of
him in his official position" continues
the Journal. So he had, but he does
not copy after Mayor Gray, Chester
fieldian as his manners were on the &C.
casion.
What irritates the Republicans is
what Gov. Lind said to the volunteer
soldiers whose services Mckinley dis
pensed with in his war OF subjugation
to give way to mercenaries that fight as
soldiers of fortune and in whose welfare
no state takes any interest. "The mis-
sion OF the American soldier has come
to an end" said Gov. Lind to the re-
turned patriots who enlisted to free the
Cubans and who were sent to the Orient
to enslave the Filipinos. For purposes
OF conquest and subjugation he is unfit"
exclaimed Gov. Lind, "for he carries
conscience as we'll as gun" These are
the words that caused Mckinley and his
followers to squirm, but nobler words
never flowed from the lips OF all Amer
lean. A higher compliment could not
be paid to the citizen soldiers which Nc
kinley could not utilize for un-Amer-
lean purposes. The American volun-
tcer carries conscience as we'll as
gum and the plutocracy can never Sc
cure his services to shoot down foreign
people who owe no allegiance to this
country and are fighting bravely for lib
erty and independence on their own soil.
The Journal says it will be glad to
print anything the governor may wish
to say by way OF explanation of his fail
TIRE to honor the president after the
fashion OF Mayor Gray. The governor
OF course, highly appreciates the kind
offer OF the Journal. We think that
Mckinley is the man who should offer
an explanation for coming to this city
to vindicate his policy OF expansion and
imperialism. He ostensibly came to
welcome the troops, but in reality his
purpose was to defend his foreign pol
icy. His speech to the volunteers was
brief, while that on expansion and i'm
peralism was carefully prepared and
bristled with figures to be found in any
common geography. He ratified off his
piece in the presence OF large gather
ing to which he was introduced by
President Northrop, an honest Amer
lean who believes in universal freedom.
He spoke before Lind and Gray who
despisc his Philippine policy, and tried
to delude honest men with his sophis-
tries. Mckinley should explain why he
goes around the country now, and why
lie would not go around during the
campaign OF 90, when he was confined
to his own yard by Mark Hanna.

AFTER THE GAME.

Denver News and Denver Sporting Men on
the Boulder-Golden Game.
II was a motley crowd from football
point OF view, which issued from the
special Boulder train last night after
seeing the game in the varsity town.
There were all the School of Mines play
ers. some of them with bruised faces and
all walking as though they had that tired
feeling; there were D. A. c. men. who
had been seeking points In preparation
tor the Thanksgiving game; few from
the D. w. c., and over 100 Denverites.
who had witnessed the game simply for
the love OF it, enhanced in instances by
nominal wagers on the result.
The Golden boys weren't satisfied, of
course, but they admitted that they had
met a team weighing about the same
which had simply outplayed them and
exhibited superior skill and snap. The
d. A. c. members returned with an added
respect for the team which will fight
against them on turkey day for the low
ing cup. The miners had improved
greatly since they lost the day to the
Denver Athletics, but the Boulder boys
were stepping out with great strides. and
the D. A. c. practice will be fast and
furious from now on, even after the game
next Saturday.
John J. Connolly OF this city. one of the
bes, known umpires in the state, said
that the varsity simply played all around
the Golden team. The score on the
miners side" he said. was obtained in
a peculiar way, and straight football
would probably have meant goose egg.
