Imperialism and Militarisna.

Imperialism is rule by one man or by
a few. 1t may be manifestly in the
form of a monarchy, a dictatorship or
of an empire. In any form 1t is the
antithesis of rule by the people 40 q
whole.
Militarism is a state Of war. 1t
may exist for q time in a republic, as,
- our own in the time Of the civil
war, or during our war with Spain.
In a genuine republic, however, milf
tarism is but temporary state In g.
despotic form Of government, militar--
ism is liable to be permanent condb-
ton, for the reason that the monarch
must maintain his power largely by
force, and to this end must maintain
large standing army. Volunteers
will not do, for, as Governor Ind
said 1.-THE volunteer carries a con-
science as well as a gun Further,
shrewd monarch is likely to hear
and heed such astute advice as that
given by Machiavelli:
1.-THE greatest emergencies confront
despots while they are laying the
foundation of their power To en-
slave a free people a ruler must turn
the general attention away from do
nestle concerns. Let him seek for
eign complications and distant warA
Struggles for dominion abroad distract
the attention from what goes on at
home. The most adroit policy for him
who would become an absolute despot
is to tell the people that he is making
them prosperous. He must dazzle the
popular mind with the expectation Of
riches. But as it is manifest that all
will not attain riches, he must take
care that some favored few heap up
enormous wealth. These favored few
will thus be detached from the people
and become wholly devoted to him.
self"
Philip of Macedon was familiar with
these principles. After overthrowinE
the liberties of Greece he Immediately
made preparations for war with Per
STA, expecting thus to incite the people
with enthusiasm for 1.-THE flag and to
divert their attention from their own
lost liberties.
Napoleon III. successfully employed
the same policy.
The philosophy of this is plain IL
q tyrant can be made to appear as tho
champion Of his country against for
eign foe no one expects liberty while
engaged in war. Warfare and liberty
are opposite poles. The will Of the
soldier must give place absolutely to
the will of the general or success in
war becomes impossible. The Roman
proverb ran: During war the laws are
silent" BY protracting the war and
winning an occasional victory the des-
pot may perpetuate his power indef-
nitely.
Some of the best work done by Her
bert Spencer has been in his constant
protest against war and his insistence
that unless war could be abated or
abolished liberty was impossible. Des-
pots understand this as well as do phil
osophers. -Willis j. Abbott.

are imperishable. They cannot

the principles upon which the

SPEED OF TROLLEY CARS.
Complaint made at Police Headquart-
 CTS By Dr O'Hara.

SOilpldiAI ulaUc dl 1,OtlCO tlo1Q0u1rt- CTS By Dr O'Hara.
 Dr B. A. O'Hara complained at the police station this afternoon that the shop cars coming in East Main street | at noon run ata speed prohibited by law
 This noon he said his coach dog was picked up by the fender on car and
 thrown to one side of the street in
 such manner that had it been child
 the result could not fail to have been
 serious. The street at the time the ac- . cident occurred is always crowded
 with children going home from school, and as the cars are run at an excessive
 rate of speed he thought it his duty !, to report the matter to the police.
 Chief Egan replied that to procure
 successful prosecution in matter of this kind is extremely difficult. Trolley cars are allowed to run eight or ten
 miles an hour and when they exceed
 that rate which is a common occur
 renee, no one on the car has ever been
 known to complain unless an accident
 happened. Almost everybody is
 aware that the cars exceed the lawful
 rate of speed but to be able to testify
 so in n court is quite another thing.

WHAT TYLER SAYS.

Hartford, Nov 30. P. Fyler, chairman of the republican state com mittee, gave to the Associated Press to-day the following statement of the election tomorrow: "McKinley will be given plurality of over 30,0O0 in this state. The republican state ticket will be elected but with 9 less vote than the national ticket. This Is owing to the fact that many gold democrats will support the democratic state ticket. However, the entire re- publican state ticket will be elected. There will be four republican con- gressmen and twenty out of the twenty-four state senators will be re- publican. The lower branch of the assembly will have from one hundred and seventy-fve to two hundred re- publicans.

.E1s WATERBURY, CONN MONDAY NOVEMBER

embraced a list of such meetings to be held at points considered most ad- yantageous, tonight, there was little left to be done in the final hours of the campaign. On the democratic side. the leaders were pleased to hear an enthusiastic report from the Hon George Fred Williams, who reached home Sunday after speech7makinS tour of six weeks for Bryan, covering points in fourteen states. MT Will Hams expressed the greatest confidence that MT Bryan would be elected. Noth- ing had developed to change the claim made by the democrats on Saturday that they would elect four congress men in Massa chusetts and cut the plurality for Mckinley down to 60,O00.
 The republican, leaders are waiting as patiently as possible to see Tues day nights figures confirm their claim that Mckinley will receive 100000 plurality in Massachusetts. and that only one democrat will be sent to con gress from this state.

COLORADO FOR BRYA->

Denver, Col, Nov 5.-Registration has been largely increased throughout Colorado this year, mainly through the efforts of the women voters. Tn Den yer G9O19 names are registered, 10000 more than in 1896. Charges oc pad ding the registration and coloniz:ng have been made on both sides. Gu the national ticket the question appears to be merely the size of Bryan's majori- ty. The fusion state ticket will not receive the entire Bryan vote. but it's success is regarded as probable never theless. The incoming legislature will elect United States senator to succeed Wolcott and the fusiouists claim that not over a dozen members pledged to Wolcott will be elected.

KANSAS IN DOUBT.

Topeka. Kan, Nov 5.-W. J. Bryan carried, Kansas four years ago by l3,- GOO and two years ago the repub leans elected Governor Stanley by 16O0O. This year both sides claim the state, but the chances seem to favor the re- publicnns. There Is complete fusion on national and state tickets in oppo- sition to, the republican ticket. It $ generally conceded that republicans will elect congressman in first and sixth districts. The fusion forces ap- parently stand the best chance in the third. Both sides make strong claims for. all districts except in these ,hrt e. The republicans seem to have the best show in the seventh.

MAINE IS REPUBLICAN

Portland. Me, Nov 5.-With only one day intervening before the national election, the voters of Maine appear far more interested in the outcome of tlie bailoting in other states than in tkeir own. In Maine,,. as usual, the only question is just how larga the republican majority will be, and even this matter apparently does not inter- est the voters in general to any great extent. There were no lndica iops to, day that either party will make any unusual effort to bring out big vote, and a quiet, uneyentful election day is expected. .-.,.

The Portugal Ruler Jumps Into the Sea and Saves q Boatman. -,r
 New York, Nov 5.-The queen of Por- tugal, at Cascas, a fashionable seaside resort. made a thrilling rescue and is now q heroine in the eyes of all her subjects, says a Lisbon dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser. The queen was on the beach idly watching Catalao Groom, her boatman, bringing his boat ashore. Suddenly a wave overturned the boat. The queen, who is an expert swimmer. seeing that he was drowning, sprang into the sea in her clothing before any of her attend ants could, prevent her. She swam to the boatman's side and held him up until persons on shore put out in boats and rescued both. Groom was taken to the royal palace. The queen is none the worse for her experience.

OHIO IS UNCERTAIN

Cincinnati, O., Nov 5.-On the day before election there are no indications of radical changes in Ohio over 1896 with which year the Ohio returns will tomorrow night be compared. Four years ago the republicans in Ohio had plurality of 51, 100 over the demo- crats and 4S,494 over Bryan as the candidate of both the democrats and the populists. Bryan is on only one ticket in Ohio,. this year. It is con- ceded that the democrats will make gains in Cincinnati and in other cities but the republicans claim equally large gains in the rural districts.

c. F. THAYER's STATEMENT.

New Haven, Nov 5.-Charles F.

The republicans have proved by their last hour methods that they ares on the run and have giyen up the fight. They are sending out misleading circulars. They are making misrepresentations and are resorting to every means to elect their candi- dates. On the matter of presidential ticket, feel that Connecticut may be fairly classed as doubtful state. h. deed, the vote that Bryan will receive will astonish many. and If Mckinley carries the stateeit will be by a narrow margin. We shall certainly elect our full state ticket by a majority over all

The ranks of the cavalry regi- ments are filled with blood relatives of Rajahs and prices and these men are never called upon for camp labor.

It is considered probable that the rebellion will shortly die out. The reformers admit that the rising was premature and that they had not a sufficient supply of arms.
 As the French demand the execution of the leaders in the Shek Lung riots placards have been posted throughout the town urging the people to slaughter the foreigners if the de. mands are pressed.
