Spacious Plea OF Imperialism Ex-
pOaed by First Republican
President.

The republican national platform
promises to the people of the Philip
pines "the largest measure of self-gov-
eminent consistent with their welfare
and our duties
Abraham Lincoln disposed of this
specious plea, used in his time, as it has
been in every time, by the apologists
of government without the consent of
the governed. In the course of one of
his famous series of speeches replying
to Douglas the first republican presi-
dent said:
''Inese arguments that are made. that
much allowance as they are capable of en-
joying; that as much is to be done for them
as their condition will allow-what are
these arguments? They are thouarguments
that kings have made for enslavfng the
people in all ages OF the world You wiz
find that all the arguments in favor Of
kingcraft were of this class: that they al
ways bestrode the necks of the people. not
that they wanted to do 1t, but because the
people were better on for being ridden.
Turn it whatever way you will. whether 1T
come from the mouth Of king. an ex-
cuse for enslaving the people Of the coun-
try, from the mouth of men OF one race
for enslaving the men OF anothe-. It il all

Winning at a Tremendous Cost.

The statement of casualties in

at which the English armies have
reached their present position in the
Transvaal war. The total losses ex-
elusive of the sick and wounded have
been 90, 706, of which 1,657 were killed
in action. Those who died of wounds
numbered $50; missing and prisoners,
1859; died of disease, 1887; invaded
home, 1927. The total loss of eff
fective men is nearly $1,000, not count

Inaccuracies of Early Dates.

The approach of a new century has
brought forth much discussion of
chronology and has served to call at
tention to the inaccuracies of early
dates. F. F. Arbuthnot, for instance,
who has made a lifetime study of
them, asserts that little credence can
be attached to any dates in England
before the sixteenth century, while all
the early documents of Europe are
regarded as unreliable down to the
end of the twelfth century, when the
vatican records first begin to wear an
appearance of genuineness.

A WEAK PLATFORM.
Views of Some Prominent Journals
ON the Philadelphia
Production.

It is the least moving and weakest
platform ever submitted by the. repub-
lican party of the United States
Springfield Republican Qnd.).
The taxpayers of the United States
are giving more than $100,0OO,COO "a
year to compensate &c, 1000 American SOL
diers in the Philippines for adding ST.
600, 900 annually to our export trade.
It ought to be possible to make better
business arrangement than this.-Bai-
timore Sun.
Under the fair promises of this plat
form is disguised the worst spirit OF
imperialism. The people of this coun-
try would need to have an amazing de-
gree of confidence in the authors of
these specious generalities to take the
platform builders at their word in pres
ence of the Porto Rican act-the first
measure in which they have defined
their unconstitutional and dangerous
pclicy.-Philadelp Record.
It looks very much like what it prob
ably is-the product of McKinley's
mind-dribbling through Postmaster
General Smiths pen, and then ripped
up the back by Foraker; schewed on"
by Rosewater, Quigg, Ga.linger and
others, and finally patched together by
Fairbanks and Davis. 1t is the one awk-
ward, clumsy product of convention
organized with great system and car
ried out according to that system with
a great deal of skill. Mr.. Mckinley
ought to have made the platform him
self or intrusted it to one man.-Water-
bury American Qnd.).
It will be seen that the leaders of the
republican party organization have re-
solved to make their appeal to the gen.
eral conservative sentiment by empha-
sizing the importance of financial Sc
curity and subordinating all perplex-
ing issues of the present as far as pos
sible to this. There is none of the de-
fiant proclamation. of commercial ex-
pansion that was expected by many.
and the difficult problems of industrial
combinations and the relations OF capt.
tai and labor are treated with no more
force or precision than has been usual
in party deliverances--P Philadelphia

An idea of the enormous extent of
the railroad business is to be gained
from the report of the Interstate
Commerce commission for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1899. It states
that the number of people employed
by the railroads of the United States
is $685. 1924, an increase for the year of
"a, 466. The last census gave the num-
Der of persons in gainful occupations
at 22,000,000, and this would mean
that about one person in each "a is
dependent for support directly upon
the railroads.

Abraham G. Dixon, an old book

In this work, which he has almost
