the flesh pots of Egypt or
mar ch forward TO the promised
land.
To dazzle the eyes of the peo-
pie, imperialism is presented as
glory, national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
world power. 1t means added
trade, wealth and Importance.
All these appeals are made to
the national and individual sell
fishness.
The world is thrilling with a
new hope. Over the mountain
tops Of the future breaks the
dawn. The sun is rising on a
juster social system. Will we
turn our backs on that splendid
prospect, simply to crush and
rob our weaker brothers?
Imperialism is international
piracy. 1t is;in opposition to at
least three of the command
ments:
Thou shalt not covet."
Thou shalt not steal"
Thou shalt not kill"
Imperialism is not external,
but it's spirit extends into all
internal affairs. Outwardly it
is represented by the cannon
and. the bayonet. Inwardly it is
bodied forth in the trust and
the gold standard. And behind
them all stands one motive
force-greed.
But let us not bedeceived. We
live not unto ourselves alone.
We are a part of the human
race. Our destiny is bound up
with the destiny of the whole.
BY a divine law. the injury
we inaict upon others re-
bounds upon ourselves. The
brotherhood of man is a living
fact. He who rivets the
shackles upon others, FORCES a
chai n for his own limbs.
Byron expressed the same
thought when he said:
There is the moral of all hui
man tales;
IT'S but the same rehearsal
of the past,
First freedom and then glory
when that falls,
| Wealth, vice, corruption
barbarism at last,
And history with all her vol
umeS vast
Hath but one page"
Are we to re-write that page?

Republic or Empire.

The issue of Imperialism is as
old as history.
1t is the new order or the old
order. Which will we choose?
Macauley predicted the death
of the republic. Will we prove
his prediction true?
1t came like a scourge upon
Ba bylon and the only record
left us is buried city in the
sand.
Imperialism is relic of pa
ganism and despotism as oppos-
ed to Christianity and liberty.
1t belongs to the old epoch of
force and murder, not the new
epoch of love aud brotherhood.
The disease has fastened it.
self on every great nation of
the world and the result has
been death.
1t drove Cyrus forth to con-
quest, but liberty shattered his

1t stalked with Death under
Timour, but all the world re.

1t awakened the cupidity and
cruelty of Spain, and today she
is the theme of the contempt
and pity of mankind.
1t stirred in the irresistible

his victories ended in an early
and dishonored grave.
1t burned in the breast of Ma.
poleon, but his crimes against
liberty were expiated amid the
barr en- rocks of st. Helena.
Imperialism is the dpotheosis
of materialism. 1t ignores the
divinity within US and recog.
nizes nothing but brute force.
1t burned like a fever in the
veins of Rameses II, but al

1t fell like a blight on the re,

Lincoln VS.. Nl'KinIey.

worthy OF serious consideration
to compare the attitude of the
martyred president with that of
Mr.. Mckinley upon the burning
question of imperialism, now
claiming the attention of the
people of this country.
1t is the solemn duty of every
man, who loves his country and
cherishes her institutions re-
CARELESS of party bias, to pause
and consider whittier the pres.
ent administration is plotting
the ship of state.
With cat-like tread we are
daily nearing the breakers, and
the near future holds within its
womb portentous events.
1t will be too late for the
tocsin to be sounded when the
empire is upon US. The coming
November election will, in all
probability, decide whether or
not in this country as in Europe
and elsewhere human freedom
is to become the by play of ty-
rants and the republic dream
of the past.
The Philadelphia platform
promises to the people of the
Philippines ''the largest meas
ure of self-government consist
ent with their welfare and our
duties"
If Abraham Lincoln were at
the head of the government to-
day he would say to these spec
ious apologists of a government
with out the consent of the gov
erned, what he said on this same
subject, on the evening of July
10, 1858, in Chicago, in the
course of one of his famous Sc
ries of speeches replying to
Judge Douglas, as follows;
.'These arguments that are
made, that the inferior race are
to be treated with as much al
lowan &c as they are capable Of
enjoying; that as much is to be
done for them as their condition
will allow-what are these ar
guments?
''They are the arguments that
kings have made for euslavine
the people in all ages of the
world.
"You will find that all the
argum ents in favor Of kingcraft
were of this class; that they al
ways bestrode the necks of the
people, not that they wanted tc
do it, but because the people
were better off for being ridden
THAT is their argument, and
this argument is the same ole
serpent that says: You worl
and I eat; you toll, aud will
enjoy the fruits of it,
Turn it whatever way you
will, whether it come from the
mouth of a king, an excuse foI
enslaving the people OF thu
country, or from the mouth O
men of one race for enslavins
the men of another, it is all tn,
same old serpent"
Every paper in the land hav

TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much t,
bear:
A chlld's dear eyes are looking loving
ly
From underneath thatch of tangled
hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet
touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours
so tight
You do not prize this blessing over
much:
You almost are too tired to pray to-
night.
But 1t is blessednessl year ago
I did not see it as / do to-day
We are so dull and thankless and too
To catch the sunshine till IL slips
away,
And now it seems surprising strange
That, while I wore the badge of
motherhood,
/ did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only
good.
And If some night, when you sit down
to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired
knee,
This restless, curling head from off
breast
This lisping tongue that clatters con-
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands
had slipped.
And ne'er would nestle in your palm
again;
If the white feet into their grave had
tripped
could not blame you for your
heartache then!
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their
gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days
are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
II I could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear a patter in my home once
more.
II could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the
sky
There is no woman in Gods world
could say
She was more blissfully content than
But ah! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
My singing birding from its nest has
flown,

BOTTLE OF POISON.
Lord Kitchener Always Carried It to
Cheat His Enemies.

There is a pretty general impression
that the work undertaken by the spy
is invariably disgraceful work, and
that the professional military secret
service agent is a more or less degrad-
ed creature-degraded th;t is, for the
time being, by the very nature of the
mission he undertakes. OF course,
nothing could be further from the
truth. There are spies and spies. The
paid renegade, who for pere pay, I'M
dertakes to pry into and betray the Sc
crets of his friends, stands entirely up
on an entirely different footing from
the officer, who, taking his life in his
hands, ventures into the enemy's
camp in order gratuitously to obtain
information which may turn out to be
of infinite value to his own intelli-
gence department
Lord Kitchener was II spy of this
latter sort, and 1t was his cleverness
energy and resourcefuness in this ca.
pacity which first attracted to him the
notice of his superiors. Alone and un-
armed he plunged into the revOlted
Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and
succeeded in penetrating, disguised as
n peddler of hurra cakes, as far as
Omdurman itself. Here he saw fel-

The average yield of each will be two

Waynesboro and nearby points and
which will bring in the local markets

The very biggest idol they ever made
