A Taste Of Imperialism.

Not every one is ready to give an
opinion about the far-off islands Of the
sea, whether they should belong to this
country or not, but in Colorado we are
given a taste of imperialism in prac-
teal experience that renders the mean
ing of the term clear and unmistakable.
Practical politics in Colorado begins
and ends with e. o. Wolcott. He has
the power vested in wealth. He is
greedy for still more power. He wants
to represent the people Of Colorado,
willing or unwilling. Every one who
has paid any attention to the matter
knows that ne has laid his plans for
the past year by playing upon human
nature that is too weak to resist the
power of gain. By stupendous effort
to stir up party zeal on the one hand
and dealing out great chunks of pros
perity on the other, he intends to car
ry himself back into Congress. All he
wants is power. He is an embodiment
of would-be Imperialism. The great
state of Colorado ought to be able to
get along without him, for the prosperi-
ty he offers is degrading.-Idaho

Shall Cuba Be Free?

If the people of Cuba ARE and OF
right ought to be free" as Congress de-
clared, and as President Mckinley
affirmed, with his official signature,
why are they still kept under the heel
of an American military despotlsm?
The island has been pacitied for
many months. The people have long
been ready and anxious to undertake
the formation of an independent gov
eminent. They have been prevented
from doing this only by the Republl-
can President and his armed forces.
Press dispatches from Cuba indicate
that the Cuban people have lost faith
in the United States. They are repre-
scented as feeling gloomy over the out
look and they apprehend that if Mr..
Mckinley shall be reelected the for
chile annexation of Cuba will follow.
1t is known that Il vigorous annexa-
ton propaganda is being conducted
from Washington, and that this propa-
ganda is in Republican hands. 1t is
understood that Republican money Is
being used in carrying it forward. 1t
is believed that Mr.. Mckinley is thus
paving the way for a coup in the event
of reelection.
Of course some preteXt for ignoring
the nations pledge will be needed, but
it will not be far to seek. The army
will find it easy enough to provoke suf-
ficient discomfort to excite an uprising.
And then the rest will be a matter Of
course.

Mckinley Hauls Down the Flag

By the courtesy of William McKin-
ley, our imperial president, the richest
gold placer mines in Alaska have been
transferred to the ownership Of Eng
land. A strip Of territory half as large
as Long Island has been turned over TO
Great Britain for the mere asking.
Two thousand American miners who
discovered valuable claims in Ameri-
can territory have been given over to
Canada, to be deprived of 100000
gold output by the British Columbian
alien laws The Porcupine mining dis
trict is now English territory, and the
American miners will be forced to pay
their miners tax to British authority.
Here we have an imperi6 situation
that should give Oregon washington
and California food for dyp reflection.
Two years ago when Yese demands
of England for Alaskanterritory were
rejected, the mere rejection was her
aided as complete victory for the
United States over the pNlcy OF en-
croachment and untenable d nands Of
Canada"
But this was before the leaven Of i'm
perialism had begun to work and be-
fore the Mckinley Hay ROosevelt-Han-
| ma ideas had begun to prevail.
But Canada wanted port on the
Lynn canal. She made an imperial de-
mand backd by England. Mckinley
gave in. and the result is, Canada has
been presented with one of the richest
gold-bearing districts of the United
States.
The demands of Canada have been
so astounding that even the most par
tisan Republican organs have fought
bitterly against them for years.
There has been no claim or pretense
that the British authorities or subjects
ever occupied any of the territory now
in dispute, except under lease from
Russia. or ever exercised any acs OF
sovereignty over it.
Upon the transfer Of Alaska from the
sovereignty of Russia to that of the
United States, a portion of the United
States army was sent to occupy the
very territory now given over to Eng
land
But insulting demands which any
other country on earth would have met
with indignant refuSals have been
meekly submitted to by the man who
seeks reelection at the hands of the
American people.
1t is useless to speculate upon what
jefferson. Jackson or Bryan would or
would not have done under such condi-
tons.
The question is. what Mckinley has

brand the Democrats as enemies Of
the men who fought to preserve the
Union and to wipe out the unutterable
curse Of slavery.
However, the Republican platform is
now silent; and William Mckinley
writes columns in letter Of accept
ance without single line or even a
single word referring to the soldiers
of the Union. He was too busy de-
Tending his war Of conquest to offer a
word of assurance to them that they
are still to be dealt with justly and lib
orally by a grateful government.
The Democratic platform is in happy
contrast with that of the Republicans.
I'VE are proud Of the courage and
fidelity Of the American soldiers and
sailors in all our wars" it says; I'VE
favor liberal pensions to them and
their dependents, and we reiterate the
position taken in the Chicago plat
form in 1896, that the fact Of enlist
ment and service should be deemed
conclusive evidence against disease
and disability before enlistment"
And Mr.. Bryan in his letter of ac-
ceptance declares that "a liberal policy
is natural and necessary in govern
ment which depends upon citizen SOL
diery instead of a large standing
army. Self-interest, as well as graft
tude, cOmpels the government to make
bountiful provisions for those who, in
the hour of danger, and at great sac
rifice of business, health and life, ten
der their services to their country"
He therefore demands that the PEN
sion laws shall be generously con-
strued in the spirit which prompted
their passage; and he makes it plain
that in the event of his election, he
will not search out another Henry Clay

Pay for Imperialism

The Republican platform Of 1900 is
absolutely silent concerning the old
soldiers. There is not one solitary
word in their behalf; and it is sus-
pected that, in the costly pursuit of
foreign wars Of conquest the Repub-
lican party foresees the necessity of
economy in the direction of pension ex-
penditures.
There is ground for believing that
the party of imperialism is preparing
to make the old soldiers pay for the
war of subjugation in the Philippines.
Yet the Republican party has assert
ed rigorous claim upon the votes

to be a friend of silver, and rode into
power in '96 on that issue. 1t at once

all money circulation down to gold
