BENJAMIN HARRISON'S VIEWS.

which has just been received here.
SAYS:
''EX-President Harrison and party
came out of the Yellowstone Park
last Friday evening and returned
east that evening. The ex-presldent
was seen by Post man and in re-
Spouse to an inquiry as to the politi-
cal situation, gave it as his opinion
that the republican party would
carry the election this fall. but ad-
mitted that Bryan would receive
heavier vote in the east this year
than he did in 1896. He thought
that the chances of the great demo-
cratic leader in Indiana much better
than they ever had been, and said it
would not surprise him should the
state go democratic this fall.
THE ex-president did not think
that the republican party had pur
sued the rightful course with regard
to the trust question, and thought
the administration was playing fast
and loose with the people on the mat

He regards the administration, |
however, as having been a wise one
or the most part, but admits that

A Dangerous Doctrine.

Paris Appeal.
The widespread endorsement by
the pulpit of the wars that are being
waged in South Africa, the Philippines
and China points to an alarming re-
vival of the dangerous old doctrine
that the end justifies the means. In
spired by this doctrine men and ma
lions have murdered, plundered and
oppressed helpless people in order to
force them to adopt ideas and teach
ings that We're supposed to be for
their eternal as well as for their tenn
poral welfare.
The savage Turks have given help
less women and children the choice
between death and Mohammedanism
and fanatics have tortured unbeliev-
ers to force them into the folds of the
church
Such deeds were contrary to the
great principles of the free will of men
and their right to worship whom and
what they pleased according to the
dictates of their conscience.
The early church relied solely upon
the power OF the gospel TO convert
men, and unaided bv armies or in
tiuence brought the greatest empire
OF olden times to the foot of the
cross. To-day, however, when a
powerful nation with an inorlina+a
greed for territory and trade takes
forelole possession of weak and
helpless people and wages a war OF
determination on all who assert their
right to freedom and independence.
great religious leaders proclaim their
belief that it is Gods work and that
1t Is done TO facilitate the spread of
the gospel i
The Appeal takes no stock in such
stuff. The war in the Philippines
the war in China and the war in
South Africa are directly traceable 70
lust for land and greedfor gain. The
gospel Is no more in need of armies
and bloodshed today than it was

The HOllanders of Chicago anC

Ploeg to a Chicago reporter. Now
they are unanimously against tine

This is the legitimate outcome oi
the republican attitude toward the
Dutch-Bo republics in South Africa
and their ENJOYS now in this country.
The natives and descendants of little
Holland have inherited all the high
est traditions of liberty and self
government from a distinguished an
cestry.
They are quick To detect fraud and
false pretense. Excepting comfort
and sympathy III the American re-
public, they have been cruelty disap-
pointed by their reception at the
hands OF an administration trucking
for its own ends to British absolu-
ton and Imperialism.

likely to cost his party dear i'll No
In Chicago alone there are
no less than 10, 900 Hollanderv voters.

Mckinley for Empire.


ST. Louis Republic.
La his speech al Canton yesterday
accepting the republican nomination
for President, speech which war
heralded az "the real republican ma
tional platform of 1900" President
Mckinley definitely approved the
tariff robbery of the Porto kicans
and committed this government TO
the permanent holding Of the Phil
ippines and the government OF the
Filipinos without the consent Of the
governed.
According to Mr.. Mckinley's COM
placent view OF the situation III Por-
to Rico. an island under the Ameri-
can flag which is denied the rights
guaranteed by the American cOnsti,
tuition to all sections OF this country,
"a beneficent government has been
provided for Porto Rico" AS TO
the Philippines, he declares that
American authority must be supreme
throughout the archipelago" and
promises TO establish "a Just and
generous government, in which the
inhabitants shall have the largest
participation for which they are ca
pable. The tariff-syndicate govern |
ment OF Porto Rico is avowedly Me |
kinley's idea OF u lust and generous
government for these alien and sub |
iugated peoples. The carpetbay rule |
in Porto Rico, in which the natives
are utterly denied an effective voice
in their own affairs, is equally Mr..
Mckinley's idea of the participation
to be permitted our subjects.
The president speech of acceptance
is a clear and unqualified utterance
OF Empire. His approval OF the
wrong done to the Porto Ricans com
mits his imperial administration to
exactly that sin OF enforcing taxation
without granting representation
which caused the rebellion of our
fathers against English rule His de-
termination to hold the Philippines
under similar conditions, with no J
of our rights, marks the :
entrance of this government I
upon u career of foreign conquest, of
the denial OF liberty to alien and
weaker peoples, of the levying OF
tribute upon such peoples, which is
not permissible to republic. From
The moment that Mckinley's policy
goes into effect with the sanction of 2

The democrats are expecting much
from the influence and probable
speeches of eX-congressman Henry L.

While Johnson. by his erratic politi-
cal course in congress, incensed the
leaders of his party in Indiana, he
has u strong following in eastern In
diana, and particularly in his former
district. The democrats are hopeful
they may persuade him 10 take the
stump and confine his remarks large
ly TO denunciation of the Mckinley

are planning to bring about Il |

HAYS Demand on China.

Washington, July 11-Secretary
Hay has demanded of the Chinese
government, through Minister WI,
that the United States minister in
Pekin. Mr.. COnger. be permitted to
communicate to this government an
| official statement of the situation in
Pekin and throughout the Chinese
empire.
This demand, which is put in the
nature OF IL request, is, in the opinion
OF the state department, justified on
the ground that the department was
furnished to-day by Minister Wa with
what is accepted as a Chinese official
account of the existing troubles, sent
from Pekin by courier as late as
June 30.
1t has occurred to the American
authorities that if the Chinese gov
eminent was enabled TO send specific
information from Pekin on that date.
which was about the time when the
Imperial Government was alleged to
have been sorest pressed, it ought to
be able at this time, with the assist
ance of Prince Ching and General Yu.
to get few words from Minister
Conger or any of the ministers who
may now be alive in Pekin.
The state department authorities |
feel that they are entitled to this
courtesy, inasmuch as they have ac-
:epted the statement submitted to-
lay by Minister WI as authentic.
