Divorced wife's Testimony.

Adolph Kodat, who was convicted
by the St. Louis circuit court of as
sanlt with intent to kill Mrs. jose
phine Kretsch, was returned to the
St. Louis Jail the other day from the
Jefferson City pe%nitentiary, where he
had served nine months of his two
years sentence. Kodat was granted q
new trial by Chief Justice CAN'T Of
division No. 2 of the supreme court,
in an important ruling on the COM
Tetency of a divorced woman to APP
pear in court and testify against the
man from whom she had been di-
vorced. The defendant was convicted
of the assault on Mrs. Kretsch on the
testimony of his divorced wife. The
supreme court holds that a divorced
woman is not a competent witness
against her husband in a case that
originated while the marriage con-
tract existed, and consequently re-
versed and remanded the case.

BECAUSE Democrats have been in
favor of peacably annexing contiguous,
unsettled territory. and making States
out of it.. and devoting it's area to
the uses of the common people, Repub-
lican Imperialists charge US with in
consistency in that we oppose forcible
annexation of lands thousands of miles
distant, densely populated with an
alien race. Lands that by reason of
insalubrity of climate can never he
converted into homes for our growing
population, but must be devoted ex-
clusively to the benefit of syndioates
and monopolies seeking to pit Oriental
cheap labor against the Drawn and
sinew of a free, enlightened and self
respecting people. The power of soph-
ism is badly put to it, always, in de-
Tense of error; but we doubt if a more
fragrant case of its impudence was
ever presented to reasoning men than
that now being exploited by this I'M
American administration and its apollo
gists and defenders. They are simply
contemplate in their contention, and
ought to be taught a lesson this year
that will dwell with their memories
forever.

THE Des Moines Qowa) Globe talks
its Imperialism and belief in monarch
ism fright out in meetin'." Hear it.
o ye back numbers, who cling to the
effete doctrines of 1916:
For a long time thinking people who
have large commercial interest have
felt unsafe with our present form of
government from the fact that we are
controlled by the little cheap John
politicians and ward heelers. A con-
s%titutional monarchy is probably the
most desirable plan that we would now
adopt. Everything is ripe for the
change. We believe that history and
experience have proved beyond cavil
that a Republican form of government
cannot subsist beyond a certain stage.
Neither is the change to be dreaded or
looked forward to with foreboding.
While we are in fact largely under the
conditions of a monarchy, we have the
evils without the benefits of the same.
By all means let US have a King. II
the common herd object, promise
them full bellies and prosperity"
and they will come up to the imperial
trough like swine to their swill. This
is the McHanna theory in the present
campaign, and it would be A~narchistic
to upset it next November. Therefore,
let the mudsills beware!

EPITOMIzED, this is the punishment
to be melted out to Bresci, the murder
err of the late King Humbert of Italy:
His cell will be but little larger and
very like a coffin.
He must stand up constantly day
and night for ten years.
Vermin will assail him.
His prison is absolutely dark.
He will eve be given a moments
exercise or work.
If he does o die from poisoned air
anemia is certain to result.
Above him are all the instruments
of torture of the Middle Ages, and he
will not know what moment he may
be subjected to them.

the vengeance here planned by the
constituted authorities of a civilized,
Chr~istianized nation! When vindica-
ton of law taxes on the form of ven
geance it is barbarism. It's excuses
breed anarchists as a carcass does
maggots. Think of the wife, the chill
dren, the brother-a soldier in his
country's army and innocent of offense.
Every minute, every dragging hour,
every weary, hopeless day, of these un-
f%ortunates tortured with the conscious
ness of the unutterable sufferings of
the husband, father, brother! No
wonder the poor wife daily prays for
his ~deliverance through death. And
the victim of the assassin's weapon
was he of such god-like mould that HUI
mainly, religion and justice must be
outraged in the deeds atonement? As
CorDy Orchardson says, '.These are
the things that make a man wish ne

tary, the law was ignored, and by Or
der of the Secretary of War the canteen
fourishes as of yore. The President,
who affects the .'amen corner of the
Methodist sanctuary Sundays. winks
his off eye at his Secretary, and the
frothing beverage flows in undimin-
ished volume. People far away from
army posts know nothing of this army
appendage of innocuous name. 1t is,
simply, a saloon without license, and
without competition, in time of peace,
for twenty DAYS in every month. The
soldier, generally, takes no care for
the morrow, and his months pay goes
as would a snow-drift under the rays
of a July sun; and, his money gone,
his bibulosity cannot be exploited in
the licensed saloon, with its ''pay to-
day and trust tomorrow" method of
business. But here the canteen kindly
steps in. The thirsty impecunious

its glory, as the keeper of the outside
saloon gets only the limited number
of ''boys" who can obtain leave to go
outside of camp. No whiskey is dis
pensed at the canteen, but the imbiber
does his best to make quantity answer
the place of alcoholic quality. That

THIS I~mperialistic talk is all hum
bug, of course! There is nothing but
benevolent assimilation" In the trail
of the McHanna administration. The
holding of the Philippines and Porto
Rico under colonial governments made
outside the Constitution; the firm grip
on Cuba for looting purposes; a big
standing army, to be increased inde6-
nitely; hob-nobbing with the monarchs
OF Europe and frowning down the in
solent Beers who want to govern them
selves-all these things pertain to a
"world-power," as everybody knows.
But Imperialism!-only Copperheads
and Anarchists talk such nonsense.

The REGISTER calls the attention
of its every reader. Republican and
Democrat-for we are all Americans
alike and glory in the Republic--to
the following article from the Boston
United States Investor of July 28th.
The InUeStor throws off the mask and
honestly sets forth The ideas and pur-
poses of the class now in control of the
government:
Only a blind person can fail to see
that remarkable transformations of one
kind or another are in store for the
race, hence the folly of asserting that
the policy of this country, which is
destined to play such a leading part
in human affairs of the future, shall
be governed for the most part by po-
litical maxims uttered more than 100
years ago. The greatest evil which
nov confronts this republic is the
clamor raised by a certain faction Cor
q settlement of our problems of state
by just such a method as we have been
depreciating. Considerably more than
a century ago a certain notable declara-
tion vas made in this country to the
effect that all men ought to be free
and independent. This Is really a
generalization of the French school of
Voltaire and the encyclopedias. 1t is
dictum absolutely lacking foundation
in history and incapable of sylogistic
justification. 1t was, however, a ham
dy phrase for US to employ when as
sertiug our rights to break away from
the mother country. 1t suited the ex-
igencies of our situation IN 1776 admit
rably, though in itself but a bit of SUBJ
limated demagoguery. The declara-
ton was a serviceable means to the
end that was at hat time desired. TO
bring forward this declaration in this
year 1900, in connection with our
treatment with the Filipinos and the
Cubans, is as gross an absurdity as
ever was p~racticed. To do so is to
offer an insult to the intelligence of the
people who first subscribed to the
declaration in question.
The InUeStOr. however. is not alone.
The army and NaUg Journal, whose
name is fitted to the doctrine of rule
by military power, Justihes the colonl-
al idea, and declares that fate has de-
creed for us a destiny in which an i'm
perial executive, free from the re-
straint of a written constitution, will
govern subjects at his own pleasure.
The REGISTER asks every citizen to di-
vest himself of partisan bias and con-
slider this grave question solely with
reference to the birth-right ~bequeathed
the founders of the Republic. Surely,
no party that seeks to destroy the lib
critics of the people ought to be able to
command the allegiance of those it
thus boldly seeks to enslave.
