The only argument that republicans
use to justify their imperialistic policy
is that it will open avenues to foreign
countries for American products. 1t
is the same old cry or oyer production
put in disguised form. They say that
we are producing more than we can
consume and hence must have a foreign
market for the surplus. How utterly
absurdl IF the American people were
fed and clothed as humans should be.
we would have nothing left for foreign
markets. If you doubt this, take a
peep into the slums of our large cities
and behold the misery there. Thous-
ands of men, women and children live
In agony because they can not get the
necessaries OF life and hundreds are
carted off to the potter's field daily for
no other reason than that concentrated
wealth has ended their existence pre-
matnrely and denied society of their
usefulness. We favor expansion
but we want it at home where Ameri-
cans can receive the benefits Let a
small per cent of the money expended
Tor conquest, be used to make happy
American homes and this will be a truly
prosperous republic. But SO long as
the governmental policy Is that of
maintaining large standing army to
open up new fields of conquest for COM
Oined wealth, which carries with it the
oppression OF people who would be free,
that long will the nation retrograde.

Last year the Kiowa News
fought the republican ticket
because, as it claimed, the
candidates were nominated
by ring composed of men
who were in politics for what
they could squeeze out of the
county treasury. This year
the republican candidates
were nominated by precisely
the same push" which nom
mated the republican tick
ct last year, and one of
this years candidates is a
man whom the News has
characterized as a lazy, in
competent no account fellow,
yet that paper is whooping it
up for the whole outfit. Edi-
tor Haberlein has pla oed
himself in a position where
he cannot enjoy the conf
dence of his readers. This
year he is Numerically op-
posed to what he professed
to believe was right last year
and his double work is the
same as an open admission
that he has no fixed convic-
tons and is simply out for
the filthy lucre."

Webb McNall has called
Insurance Supt. Church down
a few notches. Mr.. Church
IN a recent report claimed to
have collected money turned
over to him by McNall when
the latter retired from the,
Office. One amount turned
over to Church by McNall
was S1S,500 and he included
that amount in the report of
collections. When Mr.. Nc
Nall called public attention
to this fact, Church denied it
strenuously audit became nee
essary for Webb to pull the
check on him to show that he
Church, received the money.
1t won't do for Church to
claim credit for what McNall
has accomplished. He is an
absolute failure in the super
intendent's Office, and, more
than that, he has now put
himself in a position where
he is even unworthy of belief.

AS the campaign progresses, it is be-
coming more and more apparent to the
voters that Allen Smith is the right

Distribution of ofSeats-Philadelphia to
Have 1900.

Philadelphia, June 10--The republi-
can convention committee Of 1900 has
everything in readiness practically for
the quadrennial gathering of the repub-
licans Of the United States, ten days in
advance of the date fixed for the open
ing session. All the hard work and all
the anxious moments attending the
preparations for the coming of the re-
publican hosts are ever and the city is
beginning to dress up to receive it's
guests. The magnificent convention
hall on the west bank of the Schuylkill
river is complete in every detail and
only awaits the hour of noon, June 10.
The preparations for the coming gath
ering were carried on by two large COM
mittees; one had charge of the arrange
ments for the serious work of the con-
vention, while the other committee was
assigned the task Of properly entertain
ing the visiting republicans While the
first committee is resting on it's oars,
the other body of workers will have no
rest until it shall have sent home the
visitors. Desirable hotel accommoda-
tions for the next two weeks will be eX-
tremely hard to find, as all the larger
hostelries and the exclusive apartment
houses have been booked to their ca
pacity. Quite number of state dele
cations have rented houses entirely for
all of next week.
The storm center of the convention
between the sessions will be the Hotel
Walton. AT that hotel the national
committee will have it's headquarters
The meetings of the national commit |
tee, beginning Wednesday, will be held |

.FATALLY BURNED.
Result ofa Three-Year-Old ChiId's PIny
with Matches.

Little Moses Sarason, a three and a
half year old child whose parents live at
316 Congress avenue, while playing with
matches about o'clock yesterday after
noon set fire to his clothing and was so
badly burned that he died last night at
10:40 o'clock The building in which the
family lives is a large tenement build
ing on the first floor of which are stores.
The little fellow was in the hallway on
the ground floor and in some way had
secured box of matches which he was
lighting and playing with Suddenly a
lighted match ignited the whole box
full and the flame fared up. The child
was startled and before he could step
back his clothing caught fire. He
screamed and people living in the house
and passers by on the street hastened
to him. Some one sent a still alarm to
No. rs house and the firemen were soon
on the scene.
Before the f1remen arrived however,
the people in the house had torn the
clothing from the childS body and eX-
tinguished the flame. His body was ter
ribly burned and he had evidently in
lBaled the flames as his lips were burned
and swollen. No physician was near by
and the little boy was wrapped in a
blanket and carried to the New Haven
hospital, only about a block distant.
The child's father is B. Sarason,
Congress avenue jeweler.

bewildering assortment of recommended

the attitude of unprejudiced listeners.
They admit that while they anticipated
an enormous task, the complexity and

are determined however, with the CO.

we'll as in fighting, to make the Philip

The Filipino party, embracing prom

American rule through force of circum-

for scheme Of permanent government,
practically reviving the only proposition
of autonomy under an American protec-

lipinos who believed that Judge Taft
would bring the millennium in his vest
pocket, and these profess to be disap-
pointed because sweeping changes are
not enforced Immediately.
Judge Taft's sutterances indicate con-

larger army is necessary to suppress
the insurrection, believing that civil
government will be Impossible until the

except Negros, is crushed.
One Of the foremost questions is how
and with what material to organize a

percede the army as a governing ma
chine. Spain's auxiliary, the church, is
necessarily barred from consideration.
