fearing violence at the hands Of the
American populace. but the good news
received from their countrymen dispell-
ed their msgivings and they gave full
vent to their feelings. All the influen-
tial members of the colony were pres

Francisco was produced and read.
According to one of the prominent
members of the colony the Chinese
have been informed that the Boxers
rebellion is being quelled and the lega-

THE RECORD CONSISTENT.

Andrew Carnegie, in finally coming out
for Mckinley, completes the record of
the great trust magnates. They are
now all supporting the administration al
though some of them, like Mr. Carnegie,
have declared in public or private that
Imperialism threatened the very founda-
ton OF the nation.
Mr.. Carnegie hesitated longer than any
Of his fellow trust magnates. He Kim
self has said that the course Of Mckinley
in dealing with the Philippines was a
menace to our free institutions He was
terribly in earnest then, and doubtless
believes still in his original Judgment
But Mr.. Carnegie's vast personal inter-
ests. indebted for their magnitude to gov
eminent favors, such as only Mckinley
ism can bestow, naturally exerted the
same influence with him that actuated
other trust magnates who do not ap-
prove of McKinleys Philippine policy
Mr.. Carnegie might have greatly weak
ened a much needed object lesson by de-
claring against Mckinley, but as 1t IS,
he has emphasized IL stronger than any
one else could under similar eircum-
stances. What he has said on the sub
ject of imperialism is a matter of record.
He has gone to greater extremes of
language than any other Republican, and
the gist of his opinion was that the coun-
try was being imported. There has been
no change for the hetter in policy since
Mr.. Carnegie made those declarations
yet believing as he does, he has at last
decided that the protected combines are
OF moro Importance. This Is conserve
tive. fer there is absolutely no other
Inference to be drawn.
It Is not necessary to !ndorse all Nj.
Carnegie has said about The. dangers OF
impcrialiSnl- 1t is suaIcient for the pur-
pose OF tie object iessoa to understand
that he believes the country itself IN
danger from the Philippine policy TAX
