II promise from responsible American
officers that the independence of the
Philippines would be granted. 1t was
not until Filipino was wantonly shot,
lid the natives of the island of Luzon
return fire, and that they were justified
is proved by our own conduct in reyolu-
onary days.
1t is clearly seen that the purpose Cf
fl the Mckinley admins ration was inn
pati llistic even before the outbreak of
the war in the Philippines. If the gov
eminent had intentions of restoring to
the Filipinos the laul of their nativity,
what would we do with standing army
of 100. 900 men? Surely there is no ne
cessity for it here. The United States
at peace with the world has no need of
big military ESTABLISHING But when
she starts on coIonizing career, then
she must sustain an army able to plo-
tsct her possessions. II, then. Mr. Nc
Kinley. prior to the breaking ont of war
in the Philippines planned for an army
of 100, 600 men, he must have had in
mind the subjugation of the Philippines
by force If this be "A fact and we can
not see how it can be disputed, then
there need be no argument advanced
| that W. are swiftly receding from the
ideals upon which this republic was
| founded The mere statement of the
| situation is enough TO convince any
youth Of ordinary perception,
We ask the voters to weigh this i'm
perialist business in dispassionate
manner. and to come to some decision
so that when they east their ballots they
/ shall count for conviction. We ask, too,
whether this country can afford to sac
ri6ce its ideals. to blot out the traditions
Of the past which, hitherto have Injured
t. its greatness? Can they afford &c
substitute the military for the civil arm
to make this nation of soldiers instead
of nation of workers, to undo the work
of divine providence which made us d
model of human liberty by giving to u'
the character of the despot?
4 vote for Mckinley means the en-
dorsement of a despot.

 About 1 pms fire originated at the boiler rooms of ths Commonwealth mill and in an theoretically short time the bis pulling was envelopeiia flames. The fire originated by an ex- plosiIn oi the oil tanks and the spread Of oil lent fiery aid to the swift con suming elements. The employees O. the null bearly had time n escape the roaring furnace. SO quick dii the fisme- sPresd. The vind was blowing toward the mine and hoi-ting workr and the tressie connecting the mill with Inc u,ine was soon in fisne-.
 The progress of the fire could not be stayed and the fine hoi-tiGg works was also engu!lsd in the d-siruotive flames and followed the tilnbers down ths shsf, 10 the 200 foot level. The miuers at work in the mino were mo- lified in time and all escaped through the air shaft sni other openings lead- ing to the surface. Ia anticI ration of the fire reaching the shaft s large bulkhesi was hurriedly constructed at the 200 foot level shutting of air aud further progress of the fire. This though,lulness saved the nine from being gutted by the flames.

 To give an idea of the rspidity Of the work o: the fire 1t is stated tha, iu 2o minute, from time of explosion all the structures were laid in ashes.
 Roy Powell the fireman at the mill, was badly injured by burning oil and his face and head sco.ched 10 such an extent that it i. feared he will be dis figured for life. Fred Ssyles had hIs hands barned but not very seriou.ly.
