Arrangement Of Imperialism by New
York Democrats.

"1nspired by its forbidden alliance with
the British empire, the Republican admin
istration has reached out for colonial de-
pendences the control of which means
the last step in the direction of imperial
ism and military government by tho
United States. That accomplished, there
will be nothing but name and location to
distinguish the American government
from the monarchies of Europe. The
country of Washington, the republic of
Jefferson, the union of Lincoln, will have
given way to the glory of American empire
and the standing army, the curse of Eu-
ropean civilization, the scourge of Euro
pean homes, will lave come to blight the
homes of America and to dominate her
civilization. From every country in Eu-
rope, to escape the tyranny of the stand
ing army, millions have sought citizenship
and homes in America. American fathers
and mothers have right to the compan-
ioashipA 4tsiEnsess inethe peacefulness
Of home. Their sons. though ready to
yield up their lives, if need be for home,
have right to the pursuit of their own
happiness unmolested by warfare which
is neither for the honor of the flag nor the
security of home
But the future of American manhood is
limited by the Republican principle to
either military service Oh distant fields of
doubtful glory, or to lifetime of useless
against the killing competition
of trust and monopoly.
The sincerity of the Republican declar- ,
ations, favoring the propagation of free
dom and the uplifting of humanity in other
lands,i revealed by the contradictory atti
tudes towards the Fillipinos on one hand,
and the Beers of South Africa on the other
"a war of criminal aggression against the
former in the name Of freedom, silent and
covering in the shadow of Englands
throne, while the freedom of a sister re-
public ebbs away in its own blood"

ROOSEvELT'S POWERFUL LOGIC.

Governor Roosevelt has ''struck the key
note of the campaign And the keynote
is-Dodge
1t was great speech the Governor de
livered at st. Paul. He took up the issues
successfully. On the silver question he
began:
"There is little need to argue against
free silver now.'
When the applause that greeted this
powerful argument had subsidized Mr..
Roosevelt proceeded to the next question.
Said he:
''Now, as to expansion 1t hardly seems
worth while to waste any time upon what
the Kansas City people call imperialism
and militarism''
So, wasting little time upon that sub
ject, he skipped on to "our plain duty"
concerning which he remarked
"What they say about Cuba and Porto
Rico need not detain us for a moment"
SO it did not detan him for a moment,
and he was ready to trip gayly to the next
point
MANY of the positions taken by the
Populistic Democracy at the moment are
so palpably dishonest and maintained in
so palpable bad faith, that to state them is
sufficient. 1t is hardly necessary to dis
cuss what they say about the Constitu-
tion following the flag
Which brought the Governor to his tri
umphant climax:
$50 it is with their cant about 'miitar-
ism and intimidation and oppression at
home as following what they are pleased
to call conquest abroad We cannot ar
que with them on this proposition, because
no serious man thinks for moment that
they believe what they assert
This able effort naturally brought thun-
ders of applause. The Minnesotans all
agreed that it was the best argument that
could possibly be made on the Republican
side.-N. Y JOurnal

A majority of the stockholders of the
National Wall Paper company, known as
the wall paper trust, have decided to dis
solve. This decision was made on the 18th
at stockholders meeting in New York.
The reason for it is that the trust was un-
able to stand up against outside competi-
ton. No better example could be desired
OF the truth that trusts not buttressed by
legalized monopolies are of few days and
full of trouble. No trust can long resist
outside competition with no better weapon
than organization. To succeed it must
have, either directly from the government
or indirectly as the lessee of some govern
mental beneficiary, monopoly of trade,
transportation or land. Monopolies of
trade are made by protective tariffs.
Monopolies of transportation are made by
railroad franchises. Monopolies Of land
are given by title deeds. These are the
things that make trusts possible Mere
organizations in restraint Of competition
cannot long survive. OF that fact the dis
solution of the wall paper trust is one more
illustrious example. Public.

doled out day by day Some of the horses
used had but recently been disembarked,
and the unexpected climate had impaired
their health, apart from the inevitable
slackness caused by a long sea voyage.
1t had not been possible to spare them.
Day after day the cavalry moved at
high pressure over the shadeless veldt,
during the hottest hours of the day It
is difficult to convey to English readers
the burden that this alone entails. The
absence of shade is not a relative mat
ter. Often for twenty miles continuously
there IS not a bush that a child could
creep under for shadow. The very leaves
of the trees that are found near water
ing places are thin or deeply serrated-
poplars, willows and babel thorns giving
little or no shelter from the tremendous
heat of the midday sun.
On Thursday, the 18th, at 10 o'clock, the
critical advance was made and the she'll
ing and capture of two laagers a few
miles out of Kip Drift, on the northern
side Of the river, cleared the way for the
junction of the force encamped on the

der fence. This body was composed Of
Kitchener's and Roberts horse and two
more regiments of mounted infantry. Be
