Representative of London Firm
Talks of Imports to His Country.
Z. Hayman, representing the Ameri-
can Importing company of London, is
at the Grand hotel, in Cincinnati, on
his first visit to the United States. He
is making a general tour of America
to see what he may discover in the line
of manufactured articles for which
there is now or might be working up n
demand among the people of his own
country.
Mr.. Hayman corroborates the state
ment made by Consul Marshal Hal
stead, printed in the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune during Mr.. Halstead s
recent visit to Cincinnati, to the effect
that English people always give their
home manufactures the preference
when there is u choice to be made, but
he also agrees with Mr.. Halstead that
there are great many household con-
veniences and articles that add to the
comfort of living which are not now
manufactured by the English, while in
ingenuity the Yankee" manufacturers
are acknowledged leaders.
Mr.. Hayman will remain in Cincin-
natl a few days to see what he may
find among Cincinnatfs products which
may interest him in a business way.

The platform adopted by the ma

PLANNING A NEW PARTY.
Initial Steps Taken to Do Away
With All Sorts of Politics.


Initial steps were taken recently to-
ward the formation of n new political
party in Missouri, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. y meeting was held
ut 9OS Chouteau avenue for the pur-
pose of organizing the Union Reform
party, and temporary organization was
effected by the election of the follow
ing officers: Temporary chairman, Otto
Nierling; temporary secretary and
treasurer, Z. NJ. Peabody; executive
committee, George Andrews, Otto Vier-
ling and +. VI. Peabody. The eXecu-
tive committee was instructed to pre-
pare plan of organization to be refer
red to the membership for ratification
The leaders of the movement assert
that the new party is founded on the
sole principle of direct government by
the people through the initiative and
referendum and imperative mandate.
Its purpose, as stated by the president.
is to unite all real reformers outside in
to one political organization, to so
change the constitution and laws as to
do away with the necessity of all polit-
zeal parties in future, the new party in
Guided. BY this means alone, in the
opinion of the promoters of the move
ment, can be most speedily secured the
power and means whereby the people
may obtain any of the various reforms
proposed by Socialists, Populists, Pro-
hibitionists, Single Takers, trade union
lists, woman suffragists and others. If
the efforts of the Union Reform party
prove successful, say the leaders of this
new agitation, the present strife exist
ing between the various reform parties
Will be thing of the past.
The refOrmers declare that it is DOS
sible that the course of events in the
coming campaign will give them an op-
portunity for great and rapid growth.
If not success, and they propose to push
the organization and upbuilding of the
party to the utmost of their ability this
year. so as to be in the most favorable
condition possible for gathering togeth-
er the various elements of reforms aft
er the campaign of 1900 is past
After lengthy discussion Of the pro-
posed plan of campaign by those pres

OTIS AND THE PHILIPPINES.

Gen. Otis is about to return to the
United States, and there are reports
that Investigations will be ordered
into his methods of prosecuting the
Philippine war, into his expenditures
and other matters connected with his
service in those islands. 1t is pro-
badly we'll enough that this should be
done, and indeed some of the stories
that have come from Manila, despite
the strict censorship maintained,
make an investigation appear to be
demanded by every consideration OF
humanity and justice. Some 400 OF
our soldiers, for example, accordingto
the records OF the war Department,
have gone insane within the last six
months, and no less than thirty
| officers and men have been officially
| reported as suicides since Dec. /. How
many more who have killed them
| selves have been cast with the slain
| in battle it is impossible to say. Re-
| ports of such inhuman and uncivilized
methods of warfare as the recent
alleged massacre of eleven Filipino
prisoners, and Funston's execution
without trial OF two captives, also de-
mand investigation in this country is
TO hold its position among civilized
nations. But the really vital thing
/ to be considered in connection with
the war in the Philippines is not
whether it is being prosecuted effect,
lively or humanely. but whether either
it's prosecution at all. 1t is O wal
against men who were our allies and
whose service to us was gratefully ac
knowledged by ali our commanders in
the Philippines, until the President
gave the word for that forcible annex
alton, which he said is criminal ag
erosion. 1t is a war prosecuted il
fiat violation of the fundamental
principles of our nation that govern
ments derive their just power from
the consent of the governed. The
Republican party is already begin
ming to reap in perplexity and dis
sension the fruits of its efforts to stes
sovereignty in Asia. Because they
do not know how to treat the Filipino'
| if they shall ever be conquered, Re
publican politicians are refusing II
. the people of Porto Rico rights which
were guaranteed to them by on
official spokesman at the time of ou
invasion of the island, rights which
is a flat negation of every principle o
American constitutional liberty t.
deny. Toward Porto Rico the Re
publican party is playing the par
that George III. and Lord North triet
to play in the drama of the American
revolution. With the Philippines thu
Republican party is dealing as TIN
British Admiral Cochran dealt will
us in 1912, when he ravished GU
coasts and burned our capital. British
policies are popular with our imper
ialist. And withal we make no head
way in those far-off islands, for despit
Otis reiterate1 reports of pacification
the Filipino resistance continues, GU
loss in men shows no signs of abatini
and the debt which must be paid b.
the producers of this country rolls al
day after day apace.
