Imperialism has always been a form
OF PIRACY. but piratical craft seldom
display their true cOlOrs while in
sight of civilization. This imperialism
OF ours. while it remained under ex-
animation by the American people.
Tried to assume every appearance of
an expedition for the conversion of
sinners. i'he crew used the language
or the hymnal. although the stridencv
or their voices suggested the boarding
gang rather than the choir. They con
cealed purposes of plumber under the
profession of religion-a few of whose
missionaries they had decoyed on
ooafa: When the younger and more
impatient showed disposition to cast
OH disguise and to appear in the usual
equipment of their calling. more ex
pellenced hands were quick to check
the impulse and restore the garment
OF morality to their shoulders. The
demand that our army be increased to
lOO, 00O men is the first palpable fruit
OF Imperialism. Why are loo. 900 men
wanted: Beha use, forsooth, we have
become a world power. There is no
argument for raising an army of
loO. OU men that will not apply with
oOuble force to a military establish
ment OF 500, 600 men. TT we are to be
world power, America wants to be
the very first. TO raise 100. 600 men
we nave to throw away our tradition.
That being done. to raise sou. 600 men
IL Will be necessary merely to modify
our sense OF proportion. Imperialism
must always rest on a standing army.
Its vital principle and essential ele-
ment is the thirst of mercenarv
soldiery for opportunities of plunder
and promOtiOn.-Bou Cockran.

The Republican Banking Trust

Here are some questions upon
,, which the laboring man will do well
to ponder before voting for the con-
tinuatiOn of the present Adnlinistra-
Lion.
1t is a well-known fact that the now
er in private or corporate hands ia
control the money for 4 people is the
power practically to enslave them.
This power has been given by the
republican party into the hands of
the banks. Moreover. the republican
party, represented by the adin.nistra-
tlon. has practically formed a giyan-
tic bank TRUST that possesses power to
issue two-thirds of all the paper money
of this country
You are not to get your money from
your government, but from the mil
llOnaires and the private bankers as
they see tit to issue it To you.
These milliOnaires forming the trust
can contract and expand the CURRENCY
at will. They can give you mu:h or
as little as they may desire You are
not under II government by the many,
but under n government by the few.
The republican government repre-
sented by Mr.. Hanna. Mr.. Rockefeller
and Mr.. Mckinley. thus delegates it's
power for rule and ruin to private
parties.
How do you like the prospect?- New
York J ournal.

The Fort Scott Convention

We had the pleasure of attendi ine
/ the convention at Fort Scott last weeh
and assisted in putting up one of the
strongest tickets submitted TO the vOL.
| ers or this state.
The people of the city under the
| guidanc of Jake Shepherd had done
all in their power to render the Occa-
sion pleasant one and to take salts
factory care of the large crowd, which
was large one as there we're over
1000 deleg ates. Add to these the usual
number of convention visitors and it
will be readily seen that there was a
crowd present we'll calculated to test
the capacity and hospitality of any
city in the state. Fort Scott was equal
to the occasion, however, and took
good care OF us all.
Edwards county was represented by
Ira L am and the editor OF the Graph
ic, both of whom kept reasonably
quiet and cOntented themselves with
trying to vote right and secure the
nomination of Westgate for auditor
We hatter ourselves that in this last
matter we played our part with good
results.
The conventions were in separate
halls and the question of all meeting
under one roof did not come up. There
was no occasion for it in view of the
fact that the conference committee had
no difficulty in coming to a conclusion
as to the places to be filled by the
different conventions.
The only bone of contention was
over the ass ociIte Justice. There were
three democrat candidates and the
populists and free silver republicans
wanted Martin. After this question
was disposed of everything was
smooth sailing, only one ballot being
taken on any candidate.
The republicans concede the ticket
to be Il strong one and for once we
are pleased to agree with them. They
of course contend it will be beaten.
That's natural, but we don't think so
and doubt very much if they're not
shouting to keep their courage up.
The enthusiasm was a second edi-
tiOn of that ut Kansas City in the ma
tiOnal convention. This was especially
noticeable when the conference report
was adopted.
We had a lively tilt over the ques-
ton of taking a vote for choice for
senator. 1t was Jerry Simpsons idea
and he stood by it valianJly but the
majority of the delegates were opposed
to it as it had not been included in
the call. so the measure was voted
down by d decided ma ajority Simpson
sprung this more with d view to agi-
taLing the question than to passing it.
The results of this convention will
be far reaching as it is the first time
all of the reform elements of the state
have got together On basis equally
satisfactory to all.

The republicans have been felicisat-
ing themselves over Il statement gong
the rounds of the press to the effect
that Lewellhng would not support the
fusion Ticket this Year. Now comes
the ex-governor with good words Tor
the ticket nominated, and says it will
have his hearty support.

The republicans seem to think the
way to win this campaign is to
begin claiming everything early
aud then keep up the cialnor. 1t
won't work. There is an undercur-
rent OF pubiicsentiment agaiust Han
naism that will have to be reck-
oned with, and nOamOunt of loud
boasting will turn it aside. This cur
rent comes through many channels
and we will at this timc call attention u
briefly TO one OF them. During the
middle two years or Hanna's reign
the old soldiers rOared loud and long
on account OF the treatment meted OUT
to them by the over lord of the pen
sion department., II. Clay Evans. At
that time the q. a. Il. posts took it up
and by many memorials enueavored
to haYe the thorn removed from their
pathway. For II time they made SO
much noise they thought they We're
sure TO Succeed.A 1t tinaiIy dawned up
on them that with all their petitions
they were making no progress. They
eventually learned that Evans was
simply IL mouLhpiecc of the admins
tration and carried out its views
When the matter WAS finally pressed
home TO Mckinley the truth was forced
tO light auu we learn that MIR. Evans
was carrying out the views of the
president, who said that the East WAS
demanding retrenchnent in pensions
and he should stand by Evaas. The
claulor of memorials gradually sub
sided anu now ON the surface every
thing Is aga.n se!cue. Eat you must
