ton. He is but dull observer who
cannot see that at this time. behind
the thin yelling of party names. there
are arrayed forces vastly more potent
than move men in ordinary political
contests-forces that lie at the very
foundation of human society as consti-
tuted in this country. The battle is
between the men who would close the
door of opportunity and keep it closed
with the mailed fist" making caste,
not merit. the test of advancement,
and the men who would preserve to
posterity the blessings Of a potent bal
lot. and n free field of endeavor where
in he who will may win.

sublimated demogagism," says the

frcemen. the most potent force in the
world to-day. attests that it is not
dema gogism. but truth. Shall we
cleave to the facts of our history or
to the sordid and despicable creed that
our government is based upon n lie?
Shall we discard the Declaration of
Independence for share of watered
trust stock as the chart of the nation?
The Democracy very cheerfully puts
Thomas Jefferson over against the
United States Investor as an authority

A SWIFT FINISH AND ITS
MEANING.

1t is ancient history now by several
days. but having run upon Judge
Snodgrass's letter OF withdrawal from
the Senatorial race in Tennessee, VIC
desire to observe that it points a
moral admirably. We long ago pre-
dicted lonesome finish for Judge
SnodSrass because he was running on
an expansion platform in a State
where his particular article of expan-
sion is not at all popular, but 1t was
hardly to be expected that the finish
would be so early or so humilating.
The lesson of it is. according to the
Nashville Banner that regularity" is
very strong in the Democratic PARTY
In Tennessee. The Banner is doubt.
less right. Regularity is usually an
inconvenient factor to antagonizc in
politics. but many observers will be
inclined to see in the abrupt with
drawal of Judge Snodgrass from the
race something more than a Iegiti-
mate result of n difference with his
party platform; it may very we'll be
taken as an indication that Tennessee
could not find anything in Imperial
ism to enthuse over. Judge Snod-
grass, who is n man of parts, found
that his propaganda fell fiat, so he
determined that it would do injustice
to his friends" to ask them to serve
him lin contest thus rendered hope
less"
The fate of Judge Snodgrass shows
pretty clearly how strong is the SEN
tment for Imperialism in the South.

FOR HON. JOSEPH W.
BAILEY.

From the columns of the esteemed
Houston Post we gather that there is
disposition in the Lone Star State
to trouble the dreams of Hon. Joseph
w. Bailey, even to go to the extent OF
accusing him of waning affection
for the Constitution. and q waxing
tenderness for the octopus. But we
can not tell the woes of Joseph with n
1.-THE of the eloquent scorn for his enc
mics that gushes from the Post. Here
is what it says they are doing to JOS
eph:
The hideous ghost of insinuation
has stalked. phantom-like, before every
voter in Texas. The Shiny serpent OF
SANDER has left it's imprint wherever
men congregate."
Evidently it is up to Hon. Joseph
Bailey to do about" But. hist! His
enemies Turk in darkness and employ
the old familiar formula. they say"
for the purpose of undoing Joseph,
and at the same time avoiding being
undone. Hear our contemporary once
more:
""They say and who are .theyP'
The cowled and hooded sneaks who
glide with shrouded faces in the pro-
cession OF life, muttering in an UNI
known tongue words of mysterious i'm
port.
Who are 'They?' The midnight as
sassins of reputation who Turk in the
by-lanes of society. with dagger
tongues sharpened by invention and
malice, to draw the blood of innocence
and, hyena like. banquet on the dead"
We do not see what possible harm
1t can do the ingenious and pellucid
Joseph to have people muttcr 'in an
unknown tongue words of mysterious
Import but our contemporary is on
the spot and ought to know We.
however, protest that il his enemies
propose to banquet on Joseph the pro-
cess will be more pleasant for him dead
than alive.
And what was the cause of all this
pother? We are told that men envi-
Gus of his influence and jealous of his
success carry the poisoned knife in q
velvet sheath" The occasion of these
inimical manifestations was the fight
Hon. Joseph w. Bailey made to have
branch of the Standard Oil Company
licensed to do business in Texas. and
also his purchase of 10. 1000 acre ranch.
Our contemporary says that "men and
a few newspapers are insinuating that
Mr.. Bailey accepted n bride for his
efforts toward having that corpora
ton permitted to resume business in
Texas" OF the ranch transaction
every detail was as open as the sun
light" but even that is being distorted
by "hirelings paid to find flaws in his
honor
From all of which 1t is plain that
the good. old days. when the six
shooter was an evcr-ready spokesman
and arbiter of differences in Texas. are
passing away. Instead the poisoned
knife in a velvet sheath" the hide
Gus ghost of insinuation," the "slmy
serpent of SANDER" the hooded
sneak" and dagger tongues" are be-
ginning to do little business. Alas.
poor Texas She is being rapidly re-
duced to state of effetencss.

"THE CONSENT OF THE
GOVERNED SHOT
TO PIECES"

Nobody, of course, contends that the
masses of voters who compose the
Democratic and Republican parties
can be differentiated sharply by any
radical dissimilarity of views as to
what should be the fundamental form
of our Government. Nobody would go
the length OF saying that Jones, n
Democrat, is for the Republic as we
know it; while Smith. his neXt-door
sarily for browning king at Wash
ngton. The contention against I'm
pcrialism runs not to such extremes or
cXtravaganccs. The contention of the
anti-lmperialst is simply that the men
who control the Republican party, the
avowed leaders and the men who pull
the strings that move the leaders, are
for committing the country to n policy
that would center in the President
more power than is possessed by any
crowned head of Europe, save the
Car of Russia: policy that involves
a reputation of fundamental Ameri-
can principles. the removal of familiar
landmarks. leaving the American cit
iZen bcwildered wanderer in the wilds
of cmphemcral politics with no lamp
for his feet. until such time as he shall
be glad to look any wheSe for certain
~.
In this more or less well-dcfined con-
spiracy against the liberties of the cit
iZen there is with the Republican party
every man who wishes to use the ma
chnery Of government to exact tribute
from tho citizen every man who has
vested interests that he fancies would
be more secure if the Republic were
crystalized into some form of govern
ment that would less readily respond
TO the popular will; every man with an
axe to grind; every man who abhors
Democratic simplicity; the title-hunter,
the plnce-hunter, the franchise grab
Der. the men with whom self is first
and country second.
The strength of this movement away
from the Republic and toward the EN-
pire lies in the money that is behind
it; in the prestige of the mere name
Republican, which will stand to mil
lions of voters for what they hold
wise and righteous in government; in
its control of the principal means of
reaching the masses; and above all. in
the shrewd play upon the patriotism
and pride of the citizen in his country
which circumstances have enabled the
Administration to make. The weak
ness of the movement lies in the i'm
possibility, because OF the many who
are in the secret of 1t, of concealing
its real purpose. There will be those
who. like the Des Moines Globe. whose
remarkable plea for n monarchy has
already been given in these columns.
will outrun the discretion of the lead
ers.
Thus, ut the State Convention of the
Iowa Republicans, we find Temporary
Chairman Roach giving utterance to
this sentiment: THE theory that there
can be no just government without the

Journal chimes in that we are coming

table as that of fate" If there be no
Imperialism. why do men so express
themselves?

They were cut over and reverted to
the railroad company. After a
number of years the timber has
grown to such an extent that the
railroad company again put them
on the market. Again they reverted
to the company and have been sold
for the third time. The railroad
company protected them from fire
and gave the timber chan"e to
grow with the result that three
crops of logs have been sold.
