Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-12-21

The important question to be considered, said
Mr. HARRISON is the legal status of the people
hat have lately come under the control of the
United States, whether they are citizens or sub
jects. They must be one or the other, or aliens,
he said. He invited an inspection of the con-
stitution, saying that that must be the final
authority; that treaty must be in accordance
with provisions of the constitution as we'll as
statutory law. He declared that those men are
wrong who argue that treaties give certain
rights in respect to government IF oul island
possessions irrespective of the constitution
General Harrison declared that the consttu-
ton applies alike to the states and the terrific
ries, and that it must apply equally to all people.
He read that section of the consttu-
ton that provides that all duties, taxes and i'm
posts must be uniform in the United States,
and said that this is equivalent to saying that
all duties and taxes must not be unequal.
We have not the space to publish all that
General Harrison said in this speech, but what
he did say caused the administration and its
puppets to get upon their hind legs and howl.
They know that their Laseness has been uncov-
cred by the greatest constitutional lawyer in
the nation and they cannot conceal their anger
and chagrin. They have nearly exhausted the
English language in their efforts to find words
to express their condemnation. But their
abuse does not affect General Harrison He
will stand by his assertions.
And, by they way, Grover Cleveland endorses
Harrson's speech.
The whole truth will finally come to the sur
face, despite the efforts of the administration to
keep it hidden.

THE MORRISON VERDICT.

tried for killing Mrs. DIN Castle, at Fl D rado,
the jury tailed to agree. Nine members voted
for acquittal and three for conviction for man
slaughter in the fourth degree. The jury was
discharged
On Tuesday, Judge Shinn agreed to admit
Miss Morrison to bail in the sum of S., 900,
pending her second trial. No Goubt the bond
will be given.
1t is hardly probable that another jury can
be secured. Tie second trial cannot come up
till next spring, and her release will probably
end the case. 1t is said that she will go 10 her
old home in West Virginia when released.

HOW ABOUT 1T?

If, as has been so often and vehemently claim
ed, everybody who will work has job where
is the Santa Fe road getting the hundreds of tel
eeraph operators? 1t is also stated that the road
is hiring men to take the places of tho train
men now employed on the system, III the event
of strike among the latter Where does the
road get these new men, If all are employed?
1t will take several hundred of them.
We see, too, that the Salvation Army of
Kansas City is feeding many unemployed peo-
pie of that place, and the Army of other cities
is doing likewise.
Indeed, inKansas City, alone, there are sew
eral thousands of unemployed men.
Now, really, haven't those people who claim
that "every man has work who wants it' been
Just little bit mistaken?

ERROR In DATE.
Ex-PRESIDENT HARRISON STIRS UP THE
WHOLE MENAGERIE.
He Says the Constitution Follows the Flag.

ExPresident Harrison delivered an address
at Ann Arbor, Mich, on the 14th, in which he
attacked the Mckinley administration for TAX
ing the position that the constitution applies to
the United States, exclusive of Porto Rico and
the Philippines. He declared that the islands
are part of the United States, and that the
constitution extends to them in spite of any
treaties or congressional legislation. To levy
taxes on Porto Rico that are not uniform with
taxes in other parts of the United States, &C.
cording to the former president, is to deny that
Porto Rico is part of the United States He
said that while some people declare that the
sound of Dewey's guns in Manila bay heralded
new mission for this country, to him it SEEM
ed better to let it herald the same old mission
sounded by the guns of Washington.
Mr.. Harrison spoke under the auspices of the
lecture association of the University OF Michi-
gan, and 5000 people heard and applauded.
He said that recent annexation of territory
by the United States was somewhat out of line
with American history; that heretofore, land
had been annexed that was contiguous, except
Alaska, and even that was contiguous IN the
sense of being close. This time, on the con-
trary, not land, but people, had been annexed;
that territory formerly annexed had been sparse
ly settled with civilized people, and was adapted
to the use of free American people. Lately,
there had been annexed insular territory, stu
ated in the tropics and unfit for American hab-
itation, even if the land were not already
closely settled. That these islands were part
of the United States, even if, at the time of the
cession, the Philippines were in revolt against
Spain, General Harrison declared that no inter
national board of arbitration would question.
General Harrison laid stress on the fact that
labor in our new possessions was cheap and
threatened competition with labor in the states
He said that these new peoples have no concep-
ton of American ideals; that this country had
taken the position that the Chinese could not
adapt themselves so as to become citizens o.

A CERTAIN insurance agent of this city was
very active in the last campaign and since, in
trying to bolster up the Republican party. He
said, during the campaign and since, that the
prices of lumber barbedwire, nails, etc, are
much lower than they have been for some time.
We asked lumber dealer, the other day, how
much the price Of lumber had declined, and he
said: "Not at all. On the contrary, have re-
ceved letter from friend who is in the whole.
sale business that if am likely to need any
lumber soon, I'd better buy now, as the prices
will advance again The first of the year." It's
queer how cheerfully some men will lie in order
to try to bolster up rotten old political party.
