manding" position over another state
or people.
In an argumentative way the term
may be properly extended further.
The adoption of such a policy natur-
ally carries with 1t the organization and
maintenance of a large standing army
a formidable navy, or both. These
are the instruments by which impe-
rial power is always upheld, whether
it relate to the form of government or
to the exercise of dominion over some
other people. No emperor could hold
his throne for week without the
backing of strong military force. No
nation can keep another in subsection
a single day except by means of an
army sufficient to overawe and crush
out resistance. Therefore, in either
view of it, Imperialism requires a large
standing army, and such an army
might, under some circumstances, be
used to convert a republic into an en-
pire. The term imperialist is not
therefore, so far-fetched as it might
be, for it can be fairly applied to any
one who favors a government by mill
tary power or force
New glance at the other side. Prior
to 1898, every addition to the territory
of the original thirteen states, with the
exception of Alaska, was made as
part of the policy of the democratic
party. Therefore the term "anti-eX-
pansion,' as applied to that party, is
an absurd misnomer. But it must be
remembered that we thus added nearly
three million square miles to our ter
ritory with no addition to the army
save as the growth of the country
made a slightly larger force necessary
to garrison the forts. Not a single
man was enlisted for the purpose of
holding in subsection the people living
in all this vast region. But with the
first suggestion of a purpose to hold
the entire Philippine archipelago came
a strong and urgent demand for a
permanent increase of the army from
$4,000 men to 100, 000-an increase of
vast import at a single step.
And mark we'll: This demand came
from no irresponsible source 1t came
directly from the president of the
United States who for weeks held out
the threat that if the last congress
failed to give him the permanent
army which he demanded. he would
call an extra session for the sole pur-
pose of having the army thus enlarged.
Congress blocked this move by author
izing a temporary force of about the
strength named, and Mr.. Mckinley lit
orally did not dare to call an extra
session merely to force the issue of
converting a temporary army into a
permanent one. After the adjournment
he refused to call out the $4,000 vol
unteers authorized, giving as a reason
that they were not needed, and he has
persisted in this refusal until very re-
Gently.
If even the temporary army was not
required. what becomes of this threat
ening demand for a permanent one?
A single moments unbiased consider
alton of last years events should sat
isfy any intelligent American citizen
that there are different kinds of "ex-
panSiOn."

Of all the specialists Il, the world. there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience in the treatment of vomcn's
diseases as DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi-
clans, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. DR..
Pierce is pre-eminently sympathetic ply
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she 1abors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upo.i his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations " and "1ocal
treatments F" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years Of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures In
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious "local
treatment" 1t imparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother

Rajah Has Killed His Ninth Man.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 9.-The
murderous elephant, Raiah, known as
the "NIan Killer" added another to
his list of victims this morning when
he killed his keeper, Frank Fisher.
Fisher is the ninth map that Rajah
has killed during the seven years that
he has been in captivity. He proba-
bly, will not add to his list, for there
is movement on foot to have him
slain.
Fisher went to the circus winter
quarters at Argentine this morning.
He was proud Of his powers as an ami
ual tanner. To prove his powers, he
visited, in turn, the lions cage and
the bears den, coming out of each
uninjurcd.
Then he went over and commenced
TO play with Kajah.
Rajah was in particularly vicious
mood and refused to obey Fisher or
ders. When he refused to open his
mouth, Fisher struck him on the trunk
with his fist. This angered the ami
NAL. In a second he had grabbed
Fishers arm in his mouth and crush
ed it to pulp. The sight aud taste
of bloot and the trainers screams
crazed IL q monster. He tossed Fisher
to the ground with his trunk and tried
to gore him with his tusks. His
tusks were 80 short, however, having
been sawed off close, to render them
less murderous, that he could not reach
his victim with them.
Rajah then deliberately knelt upon
Fishers chest. He broke every rib
in the mans body and crushed the life
out of him.
The coroner will hold an inquest to-
morrow morning, after which legal
proceedings will be taken to have Ra-
jan put to death. Several efforts in
this direction have been made before,
but his owners have always been able
to thwart them.
Nearly all of the nine men whom
Rajah has killed have been circus en-
ployees who had nothing to do with
the elephants. Fisher is the first
keeper Rajeh has killed. It has not
been because of any fondness that Ra-
jah has had for Fisher that the latter
escaped until to-day, but because the
brute was afraid Of him.
Fisher had been Rajah's keeper ever
since shortly after he was brought to
this country, and had had several mar
now escapes from death before. He
was an Englishman. His home was
in Montreal.
Rajah had been particularly trouble
some this winter, although Fisher was
the first man he had killed since the
circus went into winter quarters. A
few weeks ago he broke loose and was
at large for two days, during which
time he made all kinds of trouble for
the railroads in the switching yards at
Argentine by tearing out their switch
es and signals. He even tipped box
car eyer enc day, biockading the track
until wreoking train could be Sc
cured from Kansas City.
He was shot several times before he
was captured, and it vas feared for
time that he might die, but the bull
lets never seemed to bother him much
beyond making him more surly than
before. Rajah is very large Fast
Indian elephant.
