system Of imperial government for
our recently acquired territory
hitherto unknown in cur couutrys
history, and subversive of the prin-
ciples of republican government.
1t imposes a tariff upon the people
of Porto Rico whilst giving free
trade to the British Island of Ja-
maica. 1t has established a sys-
tenn of corruption and spoliation in
the island OF Cuba more disgrace
Eul and onerous than was ever en-
iured under Spanish administra-

congress approved by the present
Republican Administration to still

re insist that the safety of
he republic rests in the citizen Z

be found in large standing

MIDDLE-oF-TH TICKET,

The Middle-of-the-Road Populists
met here yesterday and nominated a
Barker-Donnelly electoral ticket.
Why? No satisfactory answer to
this question has ever been given.
Four years ago the Populists were
enthusiastic for Bryan and the prin-
ciples he represented. Why are they
not so now? Bryan has not changed.
In 1896 the Populists supported
Bryan for the Presidency, and at the
same election voted with Republican
: members of the Legislature. Their ex-
cuse for such inconsistency was that,
while they agreed with the Democrats
on national issues, they agreed with
the Republicans on certain State is
sues-local self-government and "a
Y fair election law
But as the Chatham Record has al
ready pointed out, this excuse will not
hold good for the election next month
lt-is only on national issues and no
State issue whatever is involved. Why
then should not all the Populists again
vote with the Democrats for Bryan?
Why should they now try to defeat
Bryan either by voting for Barker or
Mckinley? No members of the Legis-
lature will be elected next month.
Neither an election law nor local self
government, nor any other State issue
is to be voted on, or in any way in
volyed. Why then should Populists
either vote with the Republicans or
throw their votes in Republican inter
est?

M'KINLEY AND HAMILTONIsM.

In recent speech in the city of Chi
er of the House of Representatives, said
that he supported President Mckinley
and advocated his reelection because
Mckinley is strictly following the
ideas and policy of Alexander Hamil-
ton.
The following extracts from one of
Hamiltcn's famous speeches, deliver
ed June Is, 1887, before the Federal
convention at Philadelphia, will fully
illustrate Speaker Henderson's mean
ing.
After advocating a constitutional
provision fixing the term of office of
the president for life, Mr.. Hamilton
said:
81 believe the British Government
forms the best model the world has ever
produced.
"All communities divide themselves
into the few and the many. The first are
the rich and well born. the others the
mass of the people.
ing. They seldom judge or determine
rightly. Give, therefore, the first-class a
distinct and permanent share in the gov
eminent.
Nothing but a permanent body can
check the impudence of Democracy. Their
turbulent and uncomfortable disposition
requires checks.
1T is admitted you can not have a
good executive upon Democratic plan.
See the excellency of the British execu-
tive. Nothing short of such an executive
Gan be efficient
1.-THE voice of the people is said to be
the voice of God. but this maxim is not
true.
"A Democratic government of the mass
of the people can never be good.
THE British executive is above temp
tation-he can have no distinct interest
from the public welfare Nothing short
Of such an executive can be efficient"
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-10-12
RIGHTS OF MAN ARE ABOVE THE
COLLAR.

The Democrats are making some
capital out of the fact that John j.
Valentine, of SanFrancisco, the presi-
dent of the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany, has deserted Mckinley and de-
clared for Bryan on the issue o. inn
perialism. Mr.. Valentine has sent out
circulars to his employees, in which he
says:
Mr.. Bryan has ranged himself and the
great party behind him on the right side
of the debate He throws the whole or
