RIGHT TO THE POINT.
WelI-FOunded Protest Against the
Administration Policy Of
ImperfaIisn.

Congressman Bailey. of Texas, had
good warrant for his protest to the eff
feet that, while the minority of the
rules committee of the house agreed
with the majority as to the propriety
of the creation of congressional COM
mittee on insular affairs to have juris-
diction over all matters excepting
those affecting the revenues and the
appropriations pertaining to the is
lands which came to the United States
through the treaty of 1899 with Spain,
and to Cuba, it did dissent from the
idea thai the committee should be
| created for the purpose of permanent
ly dealing" with the islands.
It will be well for congress to remem-
is not yet definitely committed to the
permanent holding of the Philippines
or to the annexation of Cuba. 1t is true
| that the administration policy as au-
| thoritatively outlined by President Nc
| Kinley declares that we cannot abandon
the Philippines, and hints at the pos
sible necessity for anneXing Cuba, but
not until a majority in congress shall
| have voted to sustain the presidents
policy will it go into effect as debating
and controlling government action.
| The debate and the vote on this vital
question are still to come, pending
which provisional action alone may be
| taken with propriety.
The democratic minority in congress
stands opposed to the administration
| policy of Imperialism, and it's plain duty
| is to combat that policy with an unceas-
| ing loyalty to the sound American prin-
ciples that forbid its acceptance by an
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-02-09
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

Work on the Paris exposition has
unearthed millions of rats, and the la
borers are sometimes obliged to stop
and do battle with the pests.
An international congress of mining
and nnetallurgy will be held in Paris
the middle of next June and a large
attendance is expected.
= Busts of Benjamin Franklin, Horace
Greeley, George W. Childs, Charles A.
Dana ard Joseph Medill will adorn the
Publishers building of the United
States at the Paris exposition.
The new Paris exposition stamp
bears 4 representation of the republic
in the form of a woman holding in
her hand tablet on which is written:
The Rights of Man." 1t will be used
for stamps of 10, Is, 20 and 25 CEN
times.
An American corn kitchen will be
maintained at the Paris exposition at
q cost to the United States OF $4,000.
The money will be well invested, for
outside Of America the merits of maize
are still but little understood. Last
year this country exported $144 100000
worth of -four and only $2,000,0O0
worth of corn meal.
One of the most interesting exhib-
its which will be sent from the United
States to Paris will be a huge map of
New York city, which is now in proc
ess of construction under the chief
Typographical engineer of the board
of public improvements. 1t measures
asx24 feet and is on scale of 900 feet
to the inch. and includes all the Dor
oughs of the great city and consider
able of the adjoining territory.

The neighbors of certain well-known
Memphis Irish family say that the good
housewife and her lord never know what
domestic discord is except when the old man
goes home slightly in his cups. Then there
il trouble, and plenty of it, for the old lady
is fire and tow. and she says she has con-

to the story, have grown less violent of late
years, and for that matter the tipsy periods
of ''Moike" are not of such frequent recur-
renee as formerly. Not long ago, SO the
story goes, the old man went home pretty
well tanked, and his wife met him.
''Yis,' she said, "ye're a-comin' home
agin, an t-that dhrunk. My, my, o, my,

paper, about two by eight, with GER
tain hieroglyphics on it. The latter
now turns out to be about as efficacious
in prod ucing the coin of the constitu-
ton, for which the republican cam
paign languishes, as would the cabai-
istic characters on an Egyptian papy-
rus.
In other words, the 100000 check
which temporarily found a lodging
place in Maj. Dicks right-hand vest
pocket while Senator Hanna instructed
the auctioneer to label the republican
convention sold" now turns out to be
worthless or nearly so. Mr.. Hanna is
compelled to make an undignified
scramble for what he can get from the
thrifty Philadelphians by way of COM
promise for his check. He is said to
have scaled the indebtedness to $780,
900, but of this less than one-half, or
$4,000. is actually pledged. Mean
while Mr.. Hanna has been forced to
take what ready cash the committee
chose to give him and to return to cam
paign headquarters with the old, old
necessity of liberal fat-frying still
staring him in the face.
The trouble is that it is too late for
reprisals. Philadelphia has the con-
vention and any attempt at changing
the assignment would give rise 10 ma
ticnal scandal. OF course the commit
tee is collectively and severely indig-
nant that the convention was not award
ed to Chicago, whose refusal to bid
for it with cash bonus and whose
ample guaranty to pay all the ex-
penses had al least the merit. of honesty.
But regrets will not now help mat
tiers.
Let us hope that Philadelphia will be
generous enough not to require the
members of the national republican
committee to pay their own expenses.
That would be charging our bucolic
friends for the privilege of being swim
dled.@Chicago Chronicle.

American government. The issue must
be fought out before the American peo-
ple-it must not be taken for granted
that it is already settled because the
president has urged imperialism in his
message to congress. Powerful as is
the administration influence, the time
has not yet come for permanent deal
ing" with the Philippines as an Ameri-
can colonial possession.
Congressman Bailey's point, there
fore, was well taken, and indicates the
line to be followed blythe democratic
minority in all legislation affecting the
Philippines and Cuba. The radical de-
parture from American principles in
volved by adoption of the policy of i'm
perialism must not be conceded as in
effect. until so declared by a vote of
congress. The issue is too serious to be
settled by an incidental acceptance Of
the duties and responsibilities that will
accompany Imperialism as an accom-
plished fact.-St. Louis Republic.

GOLD BRICK HANNA.
The ohio Sure Thing Boss Runs
Up Against a Film FIam
Game.

It does not violently wrench ones
conception of the peculiarly Philadel-
phian standards of moral probity to
find that the good and great Senator
Hanna has been made the victim of
a confidence game. A community that
not merely stomachs but idolizes Quay,
that has water steals, municipal build
ing steals, and other big and little steals
too numerous to mention, is not likely
to balk at little matter like bogus
check.
The surprise, if there is any, comes
the usually astute senator from Ohio
was caught mapping. For once the
memories of Wanamaker's princely
contributions to the republican rain
making fund were allowed to becloud
his business sagacity. The great
prestidigitateur was iulled to a sense
of false security by an ordinary bit of
handwriting. Surely, we may imagine
Hanna as reasoning, the city of broth
erly love at least can be trusted. If the
center of republican sanctity and the
domicile of holy John himself is not
worthy of our faith then whom in this
vale of tears may we trust?
But this is just where Mr.. Hanna, like
the agriculturist who buys gold brick
and carefully carries it home, trusted
once too often. He took the word of
the smooth Quakers that their check
was genuine and that the funds were
behind it. The republican campaign
committee needed cash-$100,000 of it
and the republican national conven-
ton was sold to the oleaginous gentle
men from Philadelphia for piece OF

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their
Stock.

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to friend in the United States is
only one of a hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion.
Dear Sir:
You want to know how I got along
since I came into Northern Alberta. I
am happy to inform you that am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the goth of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 16x20 inside, so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the 1st
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them to go into in cold
time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
r. I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. I know all of
their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and great
deal more. All of us are comparative
ly out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of fair
price, and I expect we are as well con-
tented lot of people as there are from
Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of Irvine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up a team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
I cannot say how it will thresh. All l
can say is that it is well headed, and
takes an enormous amount of Irvine.
