The Presidents Colonial Policy.

The Presidents announcement is the
most important political utterance
since the establishment of the govern
ment, except, perhaps, the emancipa-
tion proclamation. 1t is revolutionary.
''Tae President believes that Congress
has plenary pOsoer orer Hasoaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines"
That is, in governing the colonies,
Congress is not restrained by any con-
stitutional limitations. Il is absolute.
Further, Congress may refuse to
the mdtires (of Porto Rico. Has0aiS. etc.,
and to The american citizens soho naay
go to oar colonies the right Of jury trial,
the right Of free speech, the right to bear
arms, the right Of peaceable assen,btage
and of petition
The Presidents conclusions are not
the result of legal inquiry or judicial
study. They are the product OF par
tisan necessity.
sour neD possessions must not be
permitted to t'yure any Of oar protected
interests"
This doctrine. though revolutionary,
is not new or strange. The Roman
republic conquered foreign peoples and
governed them for the benefit of Rome
and Romans. Mr.. McKinleysproposes
to do the same thing-to govern the
people of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Filipinos without reference to their
welfare, but primarily for the COM
mercial benefit of Americans, and in
order to accomplish this he proposes
to repudiate every principle of Amer
ican polity and give the lie to every
American principle.

say to this?-St. Louis Post. Dispatch.

what they may do in one respect can
not this arbitrary assumption of power
not granted to them by the people be
applied in any direction. We warn
the people that If this reasonable and
dastardly movement that is now pro-
posed meets with toleration at their
hands that they may soon look for en-
croachments upon their rights and
liberties in other directions, that this
is but the beginning of the end, and
that the end will be,the destruction of
the republic and the establishment of
an empire.-Natt0ndl Wutchman.

New YoRK-Jennie O'Nelll Potter
one of the best known elocutionists in
the United States. Tres in st. Luke's
hospital, knowing that she must die
in March. and still she is happy. Her
life has been tempestuous, but her
death will be calm and peaceful.
Miss Potter made herself popular by
reciting ..How Salvador Won." "Flirts
and Matrons" and '.Swinging in the
Grape Vine Swing" Now she is dying,
and knows it. Her greatest desire
expressed by herself for publication
is to appear once more in public, and
if she can summon strength the doc
tors will let her Go it. The requests
of the dying are honored. Her friend,
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, to please her,
has written a monologue in which is
described the scene when the doctors
told her she must die, and which closes
with her death. And this strange
woman, looking forward to the end,
and now in the valley of the shadow,
longs to recite it.
Eight and twenty years ago, far
away in little western village, Jen-
ME O'Neill Potter, 1.-The wild flower of
the prairie" was born. Patch Grove
is the quaint name of the little Wis
consin town where this truly remarka-
BILE girl awoke to the JOY of life.
In later years Jennie O'Neill Potter
electrified New York, Chicago and
London society with her extraordinar-
i!y realistic rendering of the poem.
"Swinging in the Grape Vine" Talk
ing of it yesterday she said:
How could 1 help doing it well? l
had lived it, had loved it, all through
my childhood, just the life it de-
scribes." And then, sitting up in bed,
with passionate pathos and magnetism,
and swaying her fragile, pretty body
III It's D1lIO"S VI ldSC 1uu iAOOOdS
she recited the beautiful lines.
With bright, luminous eyes she look
ed far back, way over the hospital cots
into the past, and, sitting calmly again
on the old-fashiOned swing, she lived
the old life of childhood in Patch Grove
for five ecstatic minutes.
..It won't be months; not many,
anyway; father died last March, and
he is lying in the little cemetery at
Patch Grove. | wish you could see
that little cemetery. 1t is so, so pretty
and cosy in the spring. 1t will be
spring when they take me there-that
is, if 60, as l think shall, in March.
sYou know, it never looks cold or
sad or lonely in our little cemetery.
In summer it is just one beautiful
bloom of June roses-father always
loved June roses-and mother aud he
planted great many in our plot.
IL shall be there when they bloom
again.
