Ex-senator Dubois. of Idaho, in an
interview at Chicago last Monday
says that if the war in the Trans

months longer the cause Of silver viii
have been won. The short time il
has been in progress, says Mr.. Du-
bois, has furnished proof of the con-
tentions of the friends OF silver that
there is not enough gold in the world
to form the basis Of the worlds

length of time l have indicated the
truth of this win have become too

RELIEF FOR COUNTY JUDGES.


" ashington, ID. c., Dec. 17.-Rep
resentative DeArmond has introduc.
ed bill intended for the relief of the
members of the county courts OF those
counties of western Missouri which
ars fighting the United States courts
over the bond cases. His bill seeks
to define the duties of the federal
courts concerning attempts and puu-
ishments therefor. 1t is as follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives ofthe United
States of America in congress assem-
bled that no person, who as an officer
OF any state or of any county. city or
other legal subdivision of any state
has failed or refused or shall fail or
refuse to levy or collect or to do any
act toward levying or collecting any
tax or assessment for the payment
OF any Judgment or part of a iudg-
ment rendered by any federal court
any state or against any
county, city or other legal subdivi-
sion of a state, shall be guilty of a
against such court or its
or be punished by such on
account of any failure or refusal to
act as aforesaid in any case or in
stance where the levying or collecting
Of such tax or assessment shall be
to or unauthorized by the
avs of the state as the same are or
shall be constructed by the highest
court thereof.
If the bill becomes a law it will keep
certain judges of the county court

Some OF our contemporaries are
making a great fuss over the fact
that Lyman j. Gage holds stock in a
national bank, contrary to the spirit
as well as the letter OF the law. Why
should they? Mr. Gage is no more
guilty of evasion now than he was in
1897. Indeed, attention was called
to the fact that he was ineligible
then, but he and the appointingpo pow
er laughed it off 1t would not be a
bad idea to test Mr.. Cages right to
hold office in defiance law, and some
congressman would make a decided
hit should he institute quo warranto
proceedings to determine whether the
secretary of the treasury has a right
to hold cabinet portfolio or not

Chicago Dsmoerss.
American imperialists have but
one answer to opponents OF their
policy and that has been: Look at
England"
Ten weeks ago a look at England
showed an imperial power so great
that all the other powers of Europe
are dwaried by comparison.
Then the American imperialists ex-
ulted in the fact that they were imi-
tating English policy and boosted
that this country would soon stand
on a par with the great example they
desired to follow.
But how is it to-day? What does n
look at England reveal? y nation
trembling on the brink of destruction
a power threatened with paralysis.
Referring to the boasting cry of
Look at England" the Springfield
Republican eloquently SAYS:
Look at England. and observe
her well. Let all of our wisest impe-
rialists, the Roosevelts, the Lodges,
the Lyman Abbotts, even Mr.. Nc
kinley himself, join in the study. Is
it not an amusing fact for them to
contemplate that this great imperial
fabric should now be trembling on
the brink of destruction? That the
empire is in deadly peril is the testi-
mony of the imperiAlists themselves.
Yet ten weeks ago they pointed to
that empire as the strongest piece OF
political masonary on earth, and the
one structure in particular which
should serve as a model for Americas
development.
This proud empire, the greatest the
world has seen since the dawn of |
time, is made to tremble in every |
part by ten weeks of petty warfare |
against two puny states in South |
African wilderness whose combined |
does not equal that of a
third-rate English city! There aren't
]. 100000 white residents, including
women and children, i'm all South AZ
RIGA. Those who oppose in arms the
empire are not 100, 900 all counted.
Yet, confronted by them the whole
empire reels The world gazes upon
an empire in anguish simply because
3 few Boer farmers, who enter battle
singing the Palms OF David, will die
rather than be conquered"
Yes, it is well for Americans tolook
1T England. Much warning can be
secured by such an inspection. The
hangers of Imperialism can he realiz-
ID, the folly of imitation can be learn
ID.
BY all means let the American i'm
look at England. Do they
want to place this country in a posi-
ion similar to that now occupied by
he nation they now see threatened (
With dissolution?
1t is not likely that look at Eng
and will result in gaining converts !
o American Imperialism; therefore,
n all earnestness, all seriousness, all g
incerity, let the people of America .
Look at England"

Congressman DeArmond says the
enactment into law of the republican
currency measure means the over
whelming defeat of the Mckinley adj
ministration at the polls in 1900.
The prophecy will be verified if the
people come to understand the in
EQUITY OF the proposed enactment.

Mr.. Cages Future.
New York News.

| New York News.
Less than ten years ago Mr. Gage
was considered a radical of radicals
| in Chicago, and to-day he is looked
upon as so conservative that he
would not permit the government to
issue it's own money. There are men
in New York today who have ap-
peared on the same platform many q
Sunday afternoon with Lyman J..
Gage and heard him extol the single
tax theory of Henry George as the
only absolutely just method of rails
ing revenue. Incidentally he
fought the Mckinley abomination OF
1889 tooth and nail.
To-day Layman j. Gage is be-
lever in protection for projections
sake, and his single tax views have
given place to belief that the quick
est and best way of replenishing a
treasury is by selling long term
bonds.
In the light OF his past, history,
however, he is likely to change his
mind about accepting the presidency
OF a money trust, though it must be
conceded that his friendship for the
men composing that monster of in
EQUITY has been quite the most con-
sistent and abiding trait of character
he has yet developed.
Rumors of an Uprising.
Manila, Dec. 31.-Four explosive
bombs, a few firearms and 500
rounds of ammunition were discover
ed in house in the center of Manila
this morning while the police were
seeking Recarte, the insurgent leader,
who was said to have come to Manila
in the hope of affecting an outbreak
yesterday by taking advantage of
the mobilization of the American
troops at General Lawton's funeral.
To-day it developed that the plot
included the throwing of bombs
among the foreign consuls attending
the ceremony, in order to bring about
International complications. These,
it seems, were to have been thrown
from the Escoltas high buildings.
but avoidance of the Escolta by the
funeral procession spoiled the plan.

Smyrna times., 1900-04-25

People of every church, and of no
church seem to join in giving Rev. J.
E. Nicholson and family of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church a hearty well
come on their return to Clayton for
the fourth year. On Tuesday evening
last, the date of their arrival from
Conference a delegation met them at
the depot, and about sixty at the par
sonage; Supper was served, and re-
freshments for every body. A fine lot
of groceries were left for housekeeping.
The evening was spent in social inter
course and song. After a prayer by
the pastor, the family were left to
themselves. Rev. J. E. Nicholson
says he has never received so hearty a
reception on his return anywhere.
