An EPIDEMIC of Strikes.

There are more strikes on in the Uni
ted States to-day than since the big
railway strikes Of 1894, and with the
difference, too, that now they are seat
tered all over the country. The strikers
are generally successful In carrying
their point, either for an increase OF
wages or reduction in the hours OF
labor.
1t is significant, however, Of the rela-
ton between employer and employed
that the wOrkingmen should have to
strike In order to secure some small
share of the prosperity which has
come to their employers. 1t becomes
an object lesson to the labOrers that
they are under obligations to no one
but themselves for the wages which
they earn. Strikes are bad omen for
the party in pOwer.-BurlingtOn Q0wa)

A Geor1e Ill BiII.

~ 0COI8 8C AA1s 1btAss
The House passed the Senate Porto
Rico bill without amendment. thereby
establishing the principle which George
Ill. sought to impose upon the Ameri-
can colonies, that is to say: Taxation
without representation. 1t was In OPP
position to the same kind of q measure
that the American colonies revolted,
and established free republic.
The indefensible measure, which is
not only unjust but violation of the
good faith and trust of the Porto
Ricans in American honor, was not
passed without the display of some
good, Old-fashiOned American spirit,
which protested against the adoption
by this Government Of a measure
which the founders of the nation had
condemned, and which was the cause
of the Declaration Of Independence.
All of the Democrats We're opposed to
it and fought against its adoption to
the extent of being denounced by the
Republicans as opposed to progress
and the advancement of the nation.
Certain Republicans proved themselves
to be steadfast Americans by joining in
the opposition to the bill, but they were
defeated by the small majority of
eight.
Judging from the almost universal
sentiment Of the people, and the hostile
criticism Of Republican organs, it ap-
peared at one time as If there would
be a Republican revolt of considerable
magnitude, but it was less than ex-
pected, in spite Of the Presidents orig
inal conviction that 1t was the plain
duty of Congress to give the Porto
Ricans free trade. Hence the bill as
passed was SO passed by strict Repub
lican partisan vote, and stands now be-
fore the people us an exclusively Re
publican measure, which is a plain viO-
lation of the Constitution of the United
States.
The Porto Ricans are too feeble to
revolt, as did the American colOnists,
and they must therefore submit. But
there is a host of American citizens
who see In the measure long step In

has shown how strong a hold he has
on the affections of the people who
supported him in 1896, and who will
be only too glad To do so this year. In
refusing to accept Dewey as candi-

achievements in Manila Bay, nor do
they try to make him any the less the

1. Mr.. Mckinley 1nevit.b,es


During the next six weeks the Re-

who shall head the Republican ticket.
And although the Republican revolt

although signs Ominous Of disaster If
Mckinley leads multiply, there is as
yet no indication Of movement to
throw over the discredited leader and
his policies of palter and falter and
perfidy and privilege.
Until the Porto Rican affair Mr.. Nc
Kinley was in the position Of a man
against whom the evidence was con-

of that hopelessly conclusive character
which silences even the most partisan
and prejudiced friendship. In the Porto

How can his friends deny when he him.

that his confession is true?
Those who few months ago de-
nounced the allegations against Mr..
Mckinley as partisan misrepresenta-

listen are to-day wondering how they
could have been SO blind that they did
not penetrate the disguise Of unctiOn
and sacrosanctitude until the man was

The Matter with Mckinley.

What is the matter with Mckinley?
He Is pitiful weakling. Everybody
sees that he is controlled primarily by
Mark Hanna and secOndarily 10y the
trusts, combines. syndicates and other
mOneyed interests that make a busi-
ness of politics. Undoubtedly both
control him to considerable extent by
humOring his personal vanity and en-
cOuraging his desire to do something
extraordinary in the way Of govern
ment He has the NapOleOnic weak
ness of love of empire without the Ma
pOleOnic virtues of strength Of will and
phenomenal talent. He is tool, but
imagines himself workman. No man
In power ever held a more humiliating
position In the eyes of his cOuntrymen
than Mckinley does to-day. and none
was ever more blissfully ignorant of
the fact. 1t is the old story of Nero
listening to the adulatiOn of those who
declared him worthy to be proclaimed
a god, when he was In fact an object
Of eXecratiOn to every one In his EN-
pire.-IndianapOlis Sentinel.
Proclaim Independence Once Again.
On the coming Fourth of July, or on
the preceding day, let every true Amer
lean newspaper in the United States
publish in full the Declaration Of indie
pendence. 1t is the charter Of our lib
critics, and it is being sneered at and
treated with cOntumely as effete, by
those who aspire to destroy its undying
principles of human freedom by re-
turn to imperialism and the destruction
Of a peoples government. Thousands
are familiar with its spirit, but have
never read it, and by prOclaiming 1t
once again ON the coming Fourth Of
July it will surely bring about revival
of patriotism similar to that expert
enced by our fOrefathers on July 4,
1916, when they repudiated imperial
ism and tyranny. There is all the more
need of its proclamation because we
shall then enter a political campaign
which means life or death to the repub-
nc.-EXchange.

"TlERE is NO SUCH WORD AS
RETREAT, BOYS; CHARGES"
Mckinley Forty Years Ago and To-Day
Has The Same Principles.

"There is no such word as retreat.
boys; charge"
These words were those of Mai. Nc
kinley nearly forty years ago. They pic
ture the character Of the President OF
to-day as of the soldier Of 1862.
Thomas O'Callahan, with one eye
blinded and one ear closed to sound for
ever by a bullet wound received under the
national colors at Gettysburg, is now a
resident of Fort Collins. He served
through the war with distinguished BRAY
cry. a9h
II served under President Mckinley
in 1863 and have met him frequently
since. Every meeting brings back to me
one Of the most patriotic expressions that
ever passed the lips Of n soldier. A par
ty of forty men under the then Mai.
Mckinley went On scouting duty. They
were p%erilous times then.
"All went well until we reached the
top Of a hill and Unexpectedly ran into
a body Of .Johnnies' numbering between
300 and 400. They were in ambush.
drawn up in firing line and awaiting our
approach. Dur first knowledge of their
presence in the ambush was a volley
which brought down our three front fours
Of horses and men.
Retreat! our captain shouted.
There is no such word as retreat,
boys; charged! came n second order, this
time from Maj. Mckinley, who, drawing
his sword, dashed ahead, followed by ev-
cry one Of our men except those who had
given their lives to the cause. The enc
my were completely astounded and at our
charge retreated in confusion"
Before we started ON this scouting
expedition we were ordered to take three
days provisions. I had a sack of pound
ed oats on the pommel of my saddle.
After the rout of the enemy 1 turned
the oats out to feed my horse, and found
fifteen bullets in the sack. My horse was
wounded, as was Maj. McKinley's, and
his sword hilt was cut to pieces by bull
let's. Mai. Mckinley laughingly called
attention to it, and at the same time
complimenting his men on their bravery,
remarked:
"'You have done me a great favor,
boys, and if it ever lies in my power, III
reciprocate.'"

establishment. Any territorial govern
ment we might establish would necessar-
lily, because of the population, be IN oil
garchy, which would have to be support
ed by armed soldiers.
Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed in relation to an
''oligarchy" and EARNED soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tons urged against the acquisition of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Mi1itarism Is Not Involved.
We are making no new departure.
We are not taking a single step which
in any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees Of
self-government to the different terrific
ries, according to their needs.
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling Imperial
ism" or "militarism" involved in the
present development Of that policy Of ex-
pansion which has been part of the his
tory of America from the day when she
became n nation. The words mean abso-
lutely nothing as applied to our present
policy in the Philippines; for this policy
is only imperialistic in the sense that
Jefferson's policy in Louisiana was impe-
rialistic; only military in the sense that
Jackson's policy toward the Seminoles or
Clusters toward the Sioux embodied mill
tarism; and there is no more danger of
its producing evil results at home now
than there was Of its interfering with
freedom under Jefferson or Jackson, or
in the days of the Indian wars on the
plains. Our army is relatively not as
large as it was in the days Of Wayne;
we have not one regular for every 1000
Inhabitants. There is no more danger Of
a draft than there is of the re-introduc-
ton of slavery.
Right to Suppress Rebels.
When We expanded over New Mexico
and California we secured free govern
ment to these territories and prevented
their falling under the "militarism" of a
dictatorship like that of Santa. Ana, or
the imperialism Of a real empire in the
days Of Macmillan. We put a stop to
Imperialism in Mexico as soon as the
Civil War closed. We made a great
anti-imperialistic stride when we drove
the Spaniards from Porto Rico and the
Philippines and thereby made ready the
ground in these islands for that gradu-
ally increasing measure of s~elf-govern-
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-10-04

much later date for the sole purpose Of
justifying the extension Of slavery into
the territories.
Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what Jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
~ferson, the author of the declaration of
independence, and Of the consent of the
governed doctrine, saw no %incongruity
between this and the establishment Of
a government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory; and he. rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
ton Of his principle, saying in language
which ut the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of a word, though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizcns are
as yet as incapable Of self-government
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for a sin
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-government should be intro
duced throughout the territory, but only
as the different parts became fit for it
and no sooner. This is just the policy
that has been pursued.
Filipinos on Basis of Indians.
In no part Of the Louisiana purchase
was complete self-government introduced
for a number Of years; in one part Of it,
the Indian Territory, it has not yet been
introduced, although nearly a century
has elapsed. Over m tracts of it,
including the various Indian reserva-
tons, with a territory in the aggregate
us large as that of the Philippines, the
constitution has never yet followed the
flag" the army officer and the civilian
agent still exercise authority, without
asking the consent Of the governed"
We must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution, taking each sue
cessive step as it becomes desirable, and
accommodating the details of our policy
to the peculiar needs of the situation.
But as soon as the present revolt is put
down and order established. it will I'M
doubtedly be possible to give to the ISL
ands a larger measure of self-govern-
mnt than jefferson originally gave Loui-
siana.
Florida Got Like Philippines.
The next great step in expansion was
the acquisition of Florida. This was.
partly acquired by conquest and partly
by purchase, Andrew Jackson being the
most prominent figure in the acquisition.
1t was taken under President Monroe,
the aftertime President John Quincy
Adams being active /. securing the pur-
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1900-10-04

chase. As in the case Of the Philippines,
Florida was acquired by purchase from
Spain, and in Florida the Seminoles, who
had not been consulted in the sale, re-
belled and waged war exactly as some
of the Tagals have rebelled and waged
war in the Philippines. The Seminole
war lasted for many years, but Presi-
dents Monroe, Adams and Jackson de-
clined for a moment to consider the ques:
ton Of abandoning Florida to the Semi
noles, or to treat their n~on-consent to the
government of the United States as valid
reason for turning over the territory to
them.
Texas and Alaska We're Accessions.
Our next acquisition of territory was
that of Texas, secured by treaty after it
had been wrested from the Mexicans by
the Texans themselves. Then came the
acquisition of California, New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and parts Of Colorado
and Utah as the result Of the Mexican
war, supplemented five years later by
the Gadsden purchase.
The next acquisition was that of Alas
ka, secured from Russia by treaty and
purchase. Alaska. was full of natives,
some Of them had advanced we'll beyond
the stage Of savagery and were Chris
tinns. They were not consulted about
the purchase nor was their acquiescence
required. The purchase was made by
the men who had just put through a tri-
umphant war to restore the union and free
the slave; but none of them deemed it
necessary to push the doctrine of the
consent of the governed to a concur
sion so fantastic as to<necessitate the
turning over of Alaska to it's original
owners, the Indian and the Aleut. For
thirty years the United States authori-
ties, military and civil, exercised the SUI
preme authority in a tract of land many
times larger than the Philippines, in
would ever be any considerable body Of
white inhabitants.
Hawaii Disproves Danger Idea.
Nearly thirty years passed before the
next instance of expansion occurred,
which was over the island Of Hawaii. An
effort was made at the end Of President
Harrison's administration to secure the
annexation Of Hawaii. The effort was
unsuccessful.
In a debate in Congress on Feb. 9,
1894, one Of the leaders in opposing the
annexation Of the islands stated: ''These
islands are more than 1000 miles distant
from our extreme western boundary. We
have q serious race problem now in our
country and I am not in favor of adding
to our domestic fabric a mongrel popu-
lation (of this character). Our consti-
tuition makes no provision for a colonial
