CONGRESSMAN LLOYD, of Missouri,
spoke the whole truth when he said
last week in advocacy of his rcso-
luton fayoring election of Senators
by direct vote: "The Senate of the
United States has many individuals
in il who would not have secured
their places by direct vote of the
people. | believe that body should
represent the people and no man
should have voice in it who does
not have the endorsement of the
voters Of his state. | believe this
because it is more in line with the
idea of IA republic. The more re-
moved the legislator from the peo-
pie the less responsibility he feels
toward the people, He should owe
his allegiance to them aud devote
his energies to subscrve their will. "

Mckinley VS.. Jefferson,
Monroe and Others.

Our forefathers formulated the
doctrine that forbids American cX-
pansion beyond the limits of this
continent. Our fathers were
wise; they saw the possibilities of
our country and the temptations
that would face us. They had
learned well the lessons to be drawn
from the fallen empires and gov
ern mentsof the past. Hence the
reason for that prcccpt we have al
ways priced so highly, the Monroe
doctrine" No Eastern govern
ment or monarch must touch one
of these lands or adjacent terrific
rics of the Western Hemisphere.
But now what are we doing'
We still hold that doctrine, but in
our lust for gain aud empire we
forgct--we refuse to allow the
Orient to say that we must keep off
their territory. We are going
back to the usage that our fore
fathers so much scorncd, that might
makes right. We have grown
got too big TO be restricted to con
troll of the affairs of but one half
of the worlds territory, and there
fore we must expand.
That is exactly the position of
all the dead empires of the past,
on the crest of their glory, came to
occupy-that was their temptation
and they began to east about
for other worlds to conquer
and they were in turn overthrow
and destroyed by the very peoples
they had subdued, and by the mil
itary spirit that is always fostcred
by war.
President Mckinley talks about
the "maifest destiny" of this na-
ton, but he refuses to read it by
the history of the past, and as we
are now drifting, therein lies the
Republics danger if we continue in
that wake. The glare of wealth
the wider domain and the
larger field upon which to display
American arms, all invited by the
spread of empire and expansion,
has its charms, and is Turing lis ON.
VIII we call halt in time! What
would Washington, Jefferson and
Monroe say if they could speak to-
day?
President McKinlcy's imperial
ism will not do. We want no
great standing armies in this coun-
try, nor in hcrposscsSionS. But ON
the other hand we want to gctbark
to first principles, to the idea
involved in the Golden Rule, and
to the declaration of our fathers
that all just powers are derived
from the consent of the governed,
and that our flag has no right in
Cuba, the Philippines, or any
isle or foreign territory where it is
not invited.

richest blessings that ever befell IL

The brain power displayed by the

following words: THE war with

least fifty thousand names if tie
troops are not recalled from the trop-
ical cline by September next. n
Within three years from this date, the
pension roll will amount to S165, 900. 900

maintaining your army e. thousand
dollars a mani the American Repub-
ic will in the year 1900 expend more
for its army and pensioners than any
other nation on the face of the earth.
That is fact which the American
people will have to face. and they
ought to know now, in advance, what
is coming to them If the schemes and
pre- jects that are being forced upon

EI- BROWNS PLAN
Elk Governor Frank Brown has is
sued letter to the public, OUTLINING q
plan to bring together the discordant
elements of the Democratic party and
leading the party to success at the
coming election.
Hiss plan is to first bring togethera
full committee, which will then or
ganize by elcctipg officers. 1.-The mem
bership is not to be limited. All who
desire to enroll their names will be
welcomed. We propose to have a
m"ss-meeting, at which the object OF
the organization is to be explained
and all present who wish to partici-
pate can become members. After this
suitable candidates can be selected,
and if they meet with the approval of
the organization their names Will be
submitted to the voters at the prina-
ries. If | had not received the assur
ance of the party leaders, represent
ihS I'LL ldCilOhS, lEdt tiIS lpiih eo
Objectionable to them, l would not
have entered into the movement,
knowing full well that without their
approval it would amount to moth
ing"
That this will meet with the hearty
appreciation of every Democrat. who
has the good of the party at heart,
gees without saying. 1t is not, as
she suppose, a move outside of the
party lines, but is to be conducted on
strict party principles, We do not be-
lieve that it is gotten up with any
selfish interest or for the advaucemt at
of any set of politicians, but for the
purpose of regainirg control of the
State.

Martin West has much to say in q re-
cent article in The Church Gazette about
the tyranny of parsons servants. Accord
ing to him, clergymen are the meekest
persons in the world, and their old retain
ers tho most fearsome and despotic.
II have" he says, known one very
faithful servant to break into the drawing
room after dinner party with the remark,
Now, Mr.. Bishop, it is past 10 and quito
time you were in bed. l am sure these
ladies and gentlemen will excuse you. 1

aired Long usage had taught him pa
thence, SO he trottcd off to bed without q
word, but l do not think he ever brought
himself to like it.
1.-The coolest thing know Of" says the
same writer, "was the offer of his garden
er to II vicar. The man was dissenter
and an acceptable local preacher, and the
vicar did not shine in the pulpit. With
brothcrly frankncss the gardener pointed
this out and offered to lend his master II
few of his sermons. l do not know whouh
or the offer was accepted, but tho vicar
thought the joke too good to keep to him

ONE BLOW AT THE TRUSTS.

At present there is united In"N :
meut by all the newspapers II 'h"
limited States 70 break the hold OF
the newspaper trust. This Is u G. ~
bination of paper mills for the pur-
pose of making extravagant profits on
inflated values amounting in the ag-
gregate to millions of dollars yearly.
The reason the trust can work its
combination so successfully is be,
cause of provision in the tariff which
puts duty on all paper or wood pulp
coming from Canada. If this duty
served in the slightest degree to pro
tect any American industry, it might
.be defended, but the fact is, the trust
exports large part of its products,
showing that no duty is necessary to
run it's mills.
The effect is to increase the price OF
paper and rob the nation. Tie trust
which has bought the mills has also
absorbed nearly all the timber in the
country from which paper is made.
They first bought the forests, then
combined the mills and the people
have to pay for it.
The way to defeat their nefarious
object is for Congress to pass bill to
admit the product of the Canada for
ests free. This the newspapers, who
represent the people, have asked to
be done. An effort will also be made
to have legislation enacted for the
protection of the forests SO that the
supply of spruce cannot be exhausted.
This fight is being made without re-
gard to party or politicians. 1t is a
demand of the people, and one that
neither Congress or even the trust
President can afford to turn down.
