GOV. BOUTWELL,,
A Lincoln Republican, Tells Why No VIII Sup.
port Mr.. Bryan--Every American Should
Stand For the Republic.

Gov. Boutwell, was accorded n dem
onstration when he took the gayel. He
said: Having in mind many of the
honors that | have received from my
countrymen in times past, shall,
when this day is gone, have no more
favorable recollection of any one of
them than shall of this. This is an
historic occasion. If the peril Of the
country is what we think 1t Is, IL the
question before you and before your
countrymen' Is the question OF the con
tinuance of the republic then no graver
question has ever been committed to
an assembly of men or to the country.
We are opposed to imperialism. We
are in favor of republican form Of
government We respect the teachings
of our ancestry, the glory of the hts
tory they have left us and standing be-
tween the past and the future It Is our
duty to transmit to posterity the prin-
ciples of tile fathers and the nstltu-
tions that they formed. That Is your
mission to-day rs the representatives
Of 45 states of this union. 1t may be
representation without an organized
constituency but it is representation
that speaks for itself and for the peo.
pie of the country and for the genera
tions that are advancing to take our
places; and it is u representation that
has right to speak; representation
that will be heard at Washington to-
day, heard over the world; speaking as
we do for the preservation of republi-
can institutions; representing the Amer
lean republic, the light Of which, if it
shall go out will never be rekindled on
the face of the earth.
Actions, Not Professions, Govern.
II charge that the policy upon which
this administration has entered will
mean the abandonment of the princi-
pies upon which our government was
founded; that it will change the repub-
lie into an empire. The first of the
means before us for the preservation
of the union, If our allegation is true,
| is the overthrow of the adIllinistra tiorl.

session of the liberty congress of the
National Anti-Imperialisti league was
very enthusiastic. The speeches of
Edwin Burritt Smith, the temporary

the Declaration of Independence and

New rates of postage between the
United States and it's new dependen-
cies have been established by order
of the Postmaster General. Mail
matter between the United States
and Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
ippine Archipelago, or between any
of these islands, is subject to the same
conditions and rates as domestic mail
matter. But mail matter to Cuba or
Hawaii, unless it is sent to or by per-
sons in the service of the United
States, is subject to the Postal Union
rates, as hitherto. In other words, a
two-cent stamp will carry letter
from the United States to Guam or
Manila or Ponce, but five cent stamp
will be necessary to carry it to Homo
lulu or Youths Compdn ion.

Holds Exchanges Are Subscribers

LEMARS, Ia, Jan. 17.-(Special THE
Plymouth County Board of Supervisors has
just decided that newspaper exchanges are
subscribers. Official proceedings of the
board must be published in three county
papers of tie largest circulation. Four
publications competed. The fight for the
third plum was between the Merrill Record
and the Kingsley News. The Record filed
an affidavit that it had 624 subscribers
The News filed 623 names. The News then
objected to the Records list on the ground
that exchanges were included among the
number.
The attorney for the Record took the
ground that the object of the law was to
give the greatest publicity to the official
proceedings and that the exchange is the
best possible medium for that purpose He
argued that an exchange was a subscriber
inasmuch as a consideration was given for
it and the board took this view of it.
