The Emperor May Appear.

Philadelphia Record.
imperialism" says the New York
Times, implies an emperor" This leads
it to ask: What sort of figure would
Major Mckinley make as an Emperor"
We are bound to admit that the amia-
BILE President with the flexible spinal
column does not approach anybodys ideal
of an exalted and arbitrary potentate
Compared with Mr. Mckinley even the
Third Napoleon would take on unsuspect-
ed imperial attributes. Our ideas of the
personality of an emperor have been
drawn from Nero julius Caesar. Napo-
leon Bonaparte. William H. of Germany
and kindred characters. 1t does not fol-
low, however, that because we have i'm
perialism we must have an emperor
When a republic goes into the empire
business it upsets a great many establish
ed doctrines, including that on which the
Declaration of Independence rests. We
have a state Of Imperialism whenever a
people, apart from those who are under
the immediate rule Of a sovereign. are
governed by arbitrary power. 1t does not
matter whether that power be exercised
by the King OF Prussia or by a President
or Congress or both. The essence Of the
imperialistic condition is in the rule OF
an outlying territory without the consent
of its people and without the authority
of Constitution.
The Republic would be in less danger
from the usurpations of those in author
ity in the nation If Mr.. Mckinley should
display the characteristics of an over-am-
bilious tyrant. 1t is the stealthy growth
of imperialism and the serene confidence
of the people in those who overstep the
boundaries of the Constitution that pave
the way for serious consequences. Some
day, when we shall have become famil-
lar with the exercise of arbitrary power
by mild-mannered McKlnleys. a Napoleon
or a Caesar may make a throne Of the
Presidential chair

BRYAN WILL BE ELECTED.

p Mark Hanna has been speaking in
New Jersey, and after his plea that
every good citizen should seek to per
petuate" the administration, gave it as
his opinion that New Jersey would
cast its electoral vote for Mckinley.
In New York Senator Scott, Mr.. Elkins.
and other leading administration Re-
publicans are saying the same thing,
and express the hope and belief that
the Empire State will go Republican.
From Illinois and Indiana and Ohio
we here pretty much the same talk.
There is always the expression of "a

Both New York and New Jersey will

There is nothing at all surprising in this
statement to the student of practical poll
itics and human nature. Let me explain:
Bryan was defeated by a very narrow
margin four years ago. because he was
locked upon as radical man; a man with

This year. however. It is Just the other

thing. and therefore fears it. 1t is McKin-
ley who is looked upon as a radical this
year, and the great centers of population
and commerce will be against him. He
will be defeated. while Bryan. who has
taken his old opponents place as the con-
servator of the ancient established tnsti-
buttons of the country, will be triumph
antly elected. How about New Jersey?
Why. ir Presidential years. New Jersey
generally goes as New York does. Did
you never notice that? Then you watch

There is much in Bradley's argument,
as a little study will show. The Re-

But n Limited Vision.

In an interview on "the greatest lesson
American offers TO Cuba" one of the Wis
iting Cuban teachers is quoeed as follows:
I'm a North American city council when
the common well-being is being discussed,
they all make their efforts one. all concur
with the best will to the work, because all
are interested in effecting progress which
means happiness in the place in which
they live. Personal ambition is postponed
in face of higher and nobler ideals. No
one pretends or aspires to a place for
which he is not suited" For a represent
alive of a newly liberated and somewhat
benighted race that is pretty fair quail
ity of irony.

Apropos of the question as to
whether or not the Filipinos are capa-
bic of self government and deserving
of being treated as human beings en-
titled to liberty, the testimony of Ad-
miral George Dewey might be taken.
In an official letter to the Navy De-
partment, he distinctly gave it as his
opinion that the inhabitants of the
Philippines were more capable of self
government than the Cubans, and he
arrived at that conclusion after study
of both peoples. Admiral Dewey knows
something about the Filipinos. He was

When we talk about trade follow
ing the fag"-that is, when Repub-
licans talk about it-it is we'll enough
to consult the official figures. The ex-
ports of the United States to all the
countries of the earth for the fiscal
year 1900, were 1894, 1S6,371. OF this
enormous sum just s33.794,493 were
with the possessions wrested from
Spain, an increase over the previous
year of exactly s12,0SS.075, while the
gain in exports to other countries
where our flag does not wave was
$155, 074,994 Our gain in these latter
countries represented no national out
lay. Our measily gain in the late
Spanish possessions represented an
outlay of more than 100000, 900, or
over eight dollars of taxation for one
dollar of increase in trade. The in
crease in trade benefits a few export
ers, the taxation hurts the whole
body of the people. This may be bus
mess, but the business man who would
follow such a course would speedily

the most important thing. He is to be
taught and developed rather than stuff

of the teacher. It is more purpOseful

the necessity Of studying each child.
