mainly into a war OF conquest. On the
other hand is public opinion swayed by
demagogic appeals TO fractional and class
passions; the most fatal diseases of a re-
public. We believe that either of these In
fiuences, IL unchecked. would ultimately
compass the downfall OF our country, but
we also believe that neither represents the
sober conviction OF our countrymen.
Convinced that the extension OF the
jurisdiction OF the United States for the
purpose OF holding foreign people as CO.
lonial dependencies is an innovation dan
gerous 10 our liberties and repugnant 10
the principles upon which our government
is founded, we pledge our efforts through
all constitutional means
First, to procure the renunciation of all
imperial or colonial pretensions with re-
gard to foreign countries claimed to have
been acquired through or in consequence
OF military or naval operations Of the last
two years.
Second we further pledge our efforts TO
secure single gold standard and sound
banking system
Third. 10 secure "A public service based
on merit only.
Fourth to secure the abolition OF all
corrupting special privileges, whether un-
der the guise OF subsidies. bounties unde-
served pensions or trust-breeding tariffs.

Ii Suspicious of Powers.

1t is presumed that Earl Ii has
asked for a United States vessel be
cause of the rumors that the allied
commanders at Taku had decided TO
take him into custody upon his arrival
there. Earl Ii doubtless had informa-
tion that Admiral Remey had dissent
ed from such n programme, and there
fore preferred his request to the
United States government, knowing
that his person would be safe from
seizure il IL were covered by the
American flag.

Available Ships.

II the United States decides to COM
ply with Ii Hung Changes request,
there are now available for this pur-
pose the gunboats Nashville and
Princeton, and the battleship Oregon.
The two former vessels are at Shang-
hal and the battleship is at Woosung,
the man-of-war anchorage just below
Shanghai. The cruiser New Orleans
was at Woosung until Monday when
she sailed for 1aku. She could have
been employed for this service TO
great advantage owing to her high
speed capacity. 1t is entirely improb-
able that the Oregon, if this govern
ment decides to comply with Earl Lis
request, would be employed upon such
an errand. The average speed of the
Princeton and Nashville is about ten
knots and the distance from Shanghai
to Taku is about 80 miles, so that
one of them would require at least six
days to make the run.

MN MEXICo INTEREsTED.

HIS election would mean the ruin Of
the sheep and wool Industry an this

reelected business enterprises will

during his second term Of Office New
Mexico would be admitted 10 statehood.
