Our esteemed contemporary, the Boston
Herald which we make bold TO include
among the good expansionist news
papers Of this time, points out the fact
that there Is much confusion OF mind just
now concerning the proper use Of the
words expansion and imperialism.
That is undoubtedly true. The new move
ment the new awakening to the possibilities
OF its own destiny, which this country is ex-
periencng in the last years Of the century
10 ex pansion and not imperialism.
The word imperalist was first used as a
term OF odium by the enemies OF national
progress in order to discredit expansion.
In loose usage 1t has come to be regarded
as nearly synonymous with e4pansonist;
and 1t has been frankly accepted by some
expansionists as describing the policy
which they support and advocate.
But there is no imperialism in sight for
this republic, except in the sense Of large
ness and primacy; the sense, for example,
which we observe when we style New York
the Empire State.
We think our Boston contemporary IS
wrong when IL represents and defends what
It calls IAN enlightened Imperialism" as
something entirely new in the experience
OF this nation as radical departure from
the expansion which has been continuous in
previous steps of national development
There Is no more imperialism in the
radical sense OF the word in the possession
OF Luzon than there Is in the possession Of
the island OF Attou
There Ia no more imperialism" in the
Atknsonian Interpretation OF tho term, in
the government from Washington OF the
Tagals OF Luzon than there is in the gov
eminent from Washington OF the Innuts
OF Alaska.

deemed best not TO send Admiral ScHLEY. ether

sent to represent the Government"
Here the motive OF the attack on Capt.
EVANS is too plain to require comment.
1t Is proper to remark, however, that the
selection Of Capt. EVANS will impress great
majority Of the American people, both in
the naval service and outside of it, as felici-
tous and appropriate, and will crafty
them exceedingly.
1t is likely, also, to be pleasing to
Admiral DEWEY who understands and
appreciates the sterling and honorable
qualities that make Capt EVANS so good an
officer, and so popular man, and which
distinguish him so conspiCuously from the
PHILADELPHIA Times's candidate for this
particular duty.

forced the British Government Into an abb
surdly undignlficd watchfulness over the
doings OF Transvaal emissaries abroad. 1t
has not prevented foreign intrigues as
Germany's coquctting with the President
proved to demonstration; but IL has placed
the two nations In an impossible position
toward one another. II the Transvaal
could find any power foolish enough to join
with IL in an attempt to overthrow British
ascendcncy III South Africa, it IL ridiculous
to think that the London Convention would
act as u deterrent. The fact is, one country
cannot without infinitely more trouble
than the thing is worth, give full internal
liberty to another country and yet seek TO
direct It's foreign affairs.
The crisis in the Transvaal Is a domestic
crisis and lies outside the scope OF tho Lon
don Convention. On the bare terms OF
that document, as a matter OF technical
legal right, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN has no strict
basis for his protests against the franchise
regulations, or the dynamite and railroad
monopoics, or any OF the features Of the
Presidents domestic policy Yet he does
protest, just as we should protest II South
American republic treated American clti-
zcns as the Beers have dealt with the
British. The existence OF the Convention
hampers rather than aids the British Gov
eminent in its attempt to induce President
KRUGER to set his house in order. Its
workings have all along favored the Fabian
tactics which the President knows so we'll
how to pursue. Moreover, even the slight
merit it possesses at present will be gone,
or at least rendered superfuous, when the
Utlanders are admitted to the franchise
and the first step toward the Adjudication
of the Republic has been taken.
1t would therefore seem as though the
Presidents offer might well be accepted 1t
will not be accepted, 1t will not even be con-
sidered, because passion and national dig
nifty and the pride OF possession have
blinded the British pubict to the real worth
icssnoss of the Convention. SO much zeal
has been spent on its defence that no Min
istry would dare to give it up. Great Brit
ain cannot be brought to see that her posi-
ton in South Africa is already secure, and
that an Independent Transvaal would no
more endanger it than does the Orange
Free State.
II is a thousand pities that this should
be So, for matters have reached u stage
where only the most resolute open-minded-
ness can prevent war. And a war with the
Transvaal means, at the very least, an
undertaking of greater difficulty and cost
than any Great Britain has had on hand
since the Crim"a. If it spreads to the Orange
Free State and Cape Colony, as it easily
may, it will mean such u struggle rs Eng
land has not faced since the revolt Of the
American Colonies and the Napoleonic
wars In either case it will be war with
disastrous legacy OF animOsity and mis-
trust, such as fifty years Of peace will be
unable to destroy
The revision, and even the cancellation OF
the London Convention, would be cheap
price to pay for avoiding such a conflict.

In Mr.. BANDS District.

A special election occurs to-day in the
Eighth Congress district OF Missouri, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death OF RICHARD
p. BLAND.
The result OF this election will be interest
ing to all observers OF politics not only
because it occurs in Mr.. GLANDS old dis
trict, but also because Mr.. SHACKLEFoRD.
the candidate OF the Democracy and
OF the Hon. WILLIAM JOEL STONE, is
not much beloved by the thorough silver
men who loved and followed Mr.. BLAND,
and u.s. moreover an open opponent OF the
retention Of the Philippines and the prosecu-
ton Of the war to enforce the authority OF
our flag.
The Republican candidate, Mr. VosHoLL,
is for sound money and for the American
policy Of Go Ahead.
Both SHACKLEFoaD and VosHoLL stand
on platforms which declare against trusts.
Two years ago Mr.. BLAND beat Mr.
VosHoLL by about ., 800 votes. II SHACK
LEFoRD succeeds in beating NosHoLL to-day
an analysis OF his vote will lead to some
enlightening conclusions.

tlon confrmatory OF the Act OF 1873 estab.

the motive OF certain gold Democratic news
papers In insisting on such a superiluous

year and rid their party Of it. Their atti-
tude toward the matter Is puzzle to
us, for while no further legislation or
attempt at legislation coniirmatory OF
the Act OF 1873 could increase the actual
security OF the existing gold standard, 1t
would be sure to open the question still
wider for the Presidential and Congress
campaigns OF 1900 and make absolutely
certain the nomination Of MIR. BRYAN.
The circumstance that business and all
financial undertakings are now proceeding
without any fear of the Presidential cam
paign Of next year and its consequences Is
very significant, for such confidence arises
OF course, from faith in the preservation OF
the gold standard, since else it would be
impossible. 1t indicates that in business and
financial circles there is no shadow OF alarm
or even OF disquietude concerning the out
come OF the election OF next year, and that
implies, OF course that there is no fear Of
any radical change in national policy, or,
In other words, no fear that the reelection
