IMPERIALISM A FACT.
Republicans Are Trying to Conceal
the Effects of Their E1pan-
sion Policy.

Senator Spooner works himself up
to a high pitch of indignation over
what he calls an attempt to make an is
sue of imperialism where none actually
exists.
THAT issue is not here now," eX-
claims Mr. Spooner, Except for party
and partisan purposes. 1t is forced
issue, a wicked ISSUE
If the issue is not here for other than
party purposes the reason is because it
is blinked or ignored. The fact OF i'm
perialism is with US, whatever may be
true as to the issue.
Wherever there is more or less sue
cessful attempt to rule an alien people
outside of the constitution and against
their will there is the fact OF imperial
ism. though it may not be made an
issue.
The Wisconsin senator passionately
declares that the government OF the
United States is true and Will remain
true to the declaration of what he calls
the Teller resolution.
Bv this he means that we are occupy
ing and will occupy Cuba for no other
purpose than it's pacification and that
when that is accomplished we will
leave the people of the island to gov
ern it, recognizing their independence.
If this is true there is no American
imperialism in Cuba because there is
no imposition of American government
upon it's people without their consent.
This same senator when asked what
he proposed to do with the Philippines,
vehemently retorted: ITO enforce the
authority of the government in the
islands,"
That was all. Nothing but enforce
ment of American authority at any
time near or remote, regardless of the
will of the people of those islands
There breathes the very spirit OF I'M
periaism.
According to Mr.. Spooner, there is no
imperialism in Cuba, and the way to
avoid it is plainly indicated by the pol
icy which he Indignantly declares we
are going to adhere to there.
According to the same Mr.. Spooner
we will not pursue that American
policy in the Philippines. There we
have the fact of Imperialism, hard and
blue and cold and piteously crushing as
the Muir glacier.
We have the fact. We will not have
the issue if Spooner and the admins
tration for which he speaks can pre-
vent.-Chicago Chronicle.

Hanna and the Trus is .

There is plenty of reason for believ-
ing that at least three of the most un-
popular and oppressive trust combina-
tions in the country have given notice
to Mr.. Hanna and the president that
they do not intend to be held up to
public scorn in the republican plat
forms Of the year, no matter how nee
essary that course may be regarded by
the machine managers. They have al
ready allowed their interests to be men,
acedin such waysmore than is comfort
able. If the party which they own,
support and provide with the means
of corruption cannot stand by them
openly, they demand at least that it
shall keep quiet about them. In view
of this sentiment among the magnates
who control the administration, it is
probable that there will be desperate
fight over the trust plank in the repub-
lican national platform of 1900. The
result is very apt to be colorless ut
terance similar to that at Columbus

Why He Didn't Desert.

The inquisitorial magisterial inquir-
les have elected some humorous an
swers. An old sailor of rs, who re-
minded the magistrate that he had
helped to work the ship that took Sir
George Gray and Bishop Selwyn to Eng
land, was asked had he ever been in
prison. "Not to my knowledge" was
the reply of the ancient mariner. The
court smiled again when, in answer to
the query whether he had ever deserted
his wife, the ancient mariner indig-
nantly retorted: II never had no ocea-
sion to-" "Some do it without any oc-
casion," dryly observed the magistrate,
London Chronicle.

Lashed into Submission.

Under the compelling influence of
Mark Hanna's party bullwhip, the full
est pressure possible to the admins
tration and the ox-goading cries of ad-
ministration organs, the entire repub-
lican column will be seen to fall into
line and trudge patiently in the road
marked out for it by its masters of
the administration ring. A great hue
and cry of jubilation will be raised by
the McKinleyites over this, but when
you come to contemplate the sad-eyed
and brolen-spirited caravan thus
lashed into submission there will be
little but pity in your heart. For there
was a day when this same republican
party was a virile thing, in error it
may be, but fercely outspoken.-St.
Louis Republic.

So far as trying to govern Cuba

March 15.-The German consul has
handed the following dispatch to Pres
ident Kruger:
"The government Of Germany and

It Is demonstrated that both opponents
desire mediation. Whether the desire
already exists on the British side can
be found by the republics on direct In
qulry at London or through the good
offices OF a third government, which
has no important interests Of its own
to consider in South Africa. The lat
ter assumption is qualified with num-
ber Of nations In and outside Europe,
but not with Germany. Amy such step
on the part OF the German government
would awake suspicious and have other
than a. humanitarian view. The in-

ment. The request Of the republics to
transmit their appeal for mediation to

ernment, whose interests are watched
by the German consulate, has been Inn

Suddenly the entire mass fell, come

terrific explosion.
Not O tFacs OF Martins body can be
