LOCAL SPEAKERS KNOCK OUT THE B0GY OF IMPERIALISM

The ibogy of Imperialism was knocked
into a cooked hat last evening at the To-
cal republican rally held at headquarters
opposite the McDermott hotel. Realizing
that the one word, .Imperialism,' has
been made the democratic campaign slo-
gan, those speakers who are allied with
the party of prosperity have set them
selves to show the sophistry of the allega-
tons made again the administration on
the score of expansion. and the meeting
last evening witnessed a spirited assault
on the enemy's forces.
When Chairman Alex Laist called the
meeting to order shortly after s O'Clock
the hall was comfortably filled, a number
of auditors being obliged to stand in the
rear. On he platform with the chairman
sat the speakers for the occasion, Thomas
A. Morrin. Captain Louis P. Sanders and
Miles j. ~Cavanaugh.
All the speakers wire in good voice and
made their points with telling effect,
evoking frequent applause.
In introducing his remarks Mr.. Morrin
asserted that a great deal had been said
regarding the condition of the American
people and that a great deal more would

These things We're not always so. They
did not come to US as a heritage from
some other country: they did not come
from the ground or the sky, but some one
fought for them, some one bled for them
and some one died for them. Through it
all is revealed the divine law OF compen-

proved more costly than the experiment of

friends. when YOU go to the polls this fall

The speaker next dwelt on the neces.
sity of political parties. He said he was
a republican and always expected 30 be
but he was fair enough to admit that the
existence of the democratic party il due
to natural conditions. With delicate sa-
tire he explained that in every age and
every CLINE and every race here are cer-
tain elements that believe in the past,
certain elements that face backward that
believe as their fathers believed before
them, n tie their faith to old and am
cient methods. For half a century he
believed that democracy had opposed ey-

Then followed a long list of the mis-
takes of democracy, beginning with the
secession of the southern states and COM
ing down the line, including it's opposi-
ton or reconstruction. or the resumption
of specie payments. Among the great
errors of democracy made in latter years
We're enumerated the battle for free trade
and for an unsound financial sysem.
In conclusion he declared that the cry
against expansion would in time be add
mitted to be an error by the democrats
themselves, just as they had been obliged
to admit their errors in the past.
Fellow citizens" he said. 1T is our
duty to go to thep polls this fall and cast
a ballot for the party hat has always
been faithful to the interests of these
United States, for the honor of the flag
wherever 1T floats; and that party is the
grand old republican party.
When the applause had died way
Chairman Laist stated that the next
speaker to address the meeting was "a
young man who a year ago was fighting
under a tropical sun for the honor of his
country, but now is battling that the flag
may not be hauled down Captain Louis
p. Sanders"
Prolonged cheering greeted the young
orator as he arose and advanced to the
front of the rostrum. Bowling his thanks,
he waited until all was quiet and as an
exordium humorously remarked that
when he had heard that word captain"
he had thought of mosquitoes, "for," he
added, mosquitoes in Polynesia are a

CHRIS AND THE SIREN.
A Bohemian Touched for $85 in a
Galena Street Resort.

"Will you walk into my parlor?' sang
the Siren to the man, and I'll treat you
like a sister and touch you if I can"
Chris Holm "a Bohemian, was the man
to whom the song was warbled and the
one who sang it holds forth at 26 East
Galena street.
Chris was passing her house n when
the invitation was extended him he,
thinking he could not be touched"
walked into the house and sat down. AS
soon as he had settled into a comfort
able position the woman began to go
through his pockets in the most APP
proved style.
Don't you rob me-" said Chris.
"Oh 1 would not rob you,' replied the
woman with a cheerfulness that restored
confidence in the mind of the suspecting
Chris.
In the next instant she had possession
of Chris purse containing $S5. With a
deft movement she passed it to a COM
panion, who Immediately repaired to a
rear room, extracted the cash and sub
stituted a roll of brown paper. Then she
returned the purse and it's bogus contents
to woman No. l, and the latter tickled
Chris under the chin and gave him the
purse. 1t was swelled up like a toad n
Chris thought the money was inside OF 1t,
Dut just as ne was ABOUT 10 cOuSiSl ! "
the pocket from which it had been taken
it dawned upon him that perhaps, after
all, the contents might have been tam
pered with. Acting Upon the thought he
pressed the button, the jaws of the purse
flew open and revealed the paper. He
openly accused the women of having
robbed him and they stood aghast and
marveled at his wonderful audacity.
"Never!" they shouted in chorus. 1.-The
man hat dares to cast such an imputa-
ton upon us has no standing in this
house. Go thy way and get right down
to business at once!'
Chris Holm got and, proceeding to the
office of the county attorney, laid COM
plant against the looters of his purse.
He wanted the money worse than any
thing else, however, and after dickering
with the public prosecutor on the propo-
sition concluded to again try to get the
money. He sail that in case Of failure
he would return for a warrant for the
women.

ter would be fearful to contemplate" :
sanders concluded his address by an
'mpassioned appeal to those present not
only to vote for the party OF prosperity
ana humanity themselves. but to work
with their friends and bring them to
see things in the right light as well.
Miles J. Cavanaugh, the last speaker.
devoted himself mostly to exploiting the
cohdltion OF affairs in the state of Mon
tana. His remarks were prefaced by an
assertion that the republican party in
this state today occupies an enviable
position. as It's energies will not be taken
up fighting local issues: that could very
gracefully be left to the divided factions
Of the democratic party.
The republican party in this country"
ne said, has made It's record on it's plat
form, and with that record and that
platform 1t is willing to go forth to the
American people and ask them for their
support.
The paramount issue thrust in our
face Is what they term Imperialism. To
thai issue will be devoted most of the
public attention during this campaign.
The story Of the party who ,on their way
to Jericho. met a poor, footsore and
bleeding traveller and passed him with
out giving him any aid is emblematic of
the democratic party in his campaign
with regard to that question. History
Is dealing with the actions of men or
of nations always deals most fondly with
those that have had a tendency to place
men upon a higher plane of civilization,
and history has always been kind to the
republican party"
As regards the policy Of expansion,
Cavanaugh thought the record of the
country under former democratic admin
istrations should elucidate the national
idea on that subject. He reviewed in de-
tail the Louisiana and the Gadsden pur-
chases n the acquisition Of Alaska and
Texas, completing the list with an ac-
count of the circumstances under which
California became a state. In none or
these cases, he said, did the consent Of
the governed cut any figure, and yet
these acquisitions of territory had not
proved curses.
He believed the flag Should not be torn
down in dishonor where it had been run
up in honor, and reviewed the history of
the war up to date as proof that the adj
ministration had been cautious in it's
every movement so far, and could be de-
