The life of the republic depends
upon the choice made by American
voters when they go to the polls next
November. If they then and there

Republican ticket, they sign the death

SAVE THE REPUBLIC

There has never been time in Am
erican political history when para
mount issue in the battle between two
great parties was mo1e clearly drawn
and more intelligently understood than
is the great and vital issue of imperial.
Ism in the campaign now under way.
The issue is one which no American
voter pretends to ignore or to evade.
Either his Americanlsm leads him to
align himself against the party of en-
pire in order that the republic may be
saved from destruction, or his com
mercial appetites or political ambi.
tons overcome his Americanism and
render him willing to sacrifice Ameri-
can principles for situation.
The republican party makes its
appeal this year to the ignoble emo
tons OF mankind. 1t urges the hold
ing of the Philippines as colony be-
cause there is money in holding the
Philippines the famous speech oil
Senator Beverage sounding this key
note. 1t urges the denial of constitu-
tional rights to the Porto Ricans be-
cause there is money in levying tribute
on the Porto Ricans. 1t seeks to en-
compass the annexation Of Cuba be.
cause there is money in annexing
Cuba. Republican policies in 1900
are based on the most sordid principles
possible to commercialized politics.
The Democratic party makes its ap'
peal this year to the american spirit
which animated the founders of the
American government. 1t denies, as
they did, the imperial doctrine that
might makes right. 1t holds with them
that all men are born free and equal
and that constitutional governments
must derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed. 1t opposes

New York, Jan. 30.-Miss Maud
Come, the Irish Joan of Arc, arrived
yesterday on the French line steamer
La Normandle from Havre. Miss
Come will stay month and then
hurry back to Ireland, as her time Is
fully engaged there. Upon the arrival
of La Normandie at the pier Miss
Come was escorted to the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel.
1.-THE object of my visit here" said
Miss Come, "is to arouse sentiment
here in favor Of the Beers. l have
been in France, Germany and in Hol-
land, and there have heard expressions
Of surprise that America was not fore
most in championing the Beers. They
are struggling for liberty, they are
fighting as you did for independence.
believe that the sentiment here in
favor OF the Beers is growing and l
shall do all in my power to fan the
flame. Another reason that I am here
is to cement the unity Of sentiment be-
tween the Irish and America and the
Irish in Ireland. That sentiment is so
strong now In Dublin that they do not
dare march the troops down the main
streets for fear of having them hissed
and assaulted. The present time is the
best that Ireland has ever had to
strike a blow for freedom. In Ire
land today there are only 5000 SOL
diers. where formerly there were TO-

Sharply Attacks Great britain and
Her Consul Mt New Orleans.
Washington, Jan. 30.-Senator Ma.
son (Ills) arose yesterday soon after
the senate convened to a question OF
privilege and sharply attacked the
British government and the British
vice consul at New Orleans because OF
an interview in which the vice consul
had assailed Mr.. Mason for the posi-
tion he had taken in behalf of the
Transvaal republic in its war with
Great Britain. Mr.. Macon attacked
not only the consul, but the policy of
Great Britain in levying war upon an
inferior nation.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) thought the con-
sul's purported remarks SO serious
that he ought to be investigated by the
government, but at the same time he
deprecated any attack upon Great
Britain, with the people of which the
American people ought not only to live
in peace, but as loving and devoted
friends.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) sharply arraigned
the British consul for his utterances
against United States senator, and
believed 1t ought not lightly to be
passed.
The bill for the reorganization and
Improvement of the weather bureau,
which includes provision for pension

tenure provision it contained, and it
was sidetracked on test vote by b7
to 73.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3O.-Baseball men
from various sections Of the country
who are interested in the new Ameri-
can Association met here today for the
purpose Of organizing and to lay out
o circuit. 1t is believed that there will
be considerable difficulty encountered
when 1t comes to making up the cir
cult. 1t Is known that the association
has more than enough applications for
admission to complete the organiga-
tion. Louisville is strong applicant,
and 1t Is understood that delegation
from the Blue Grass state is now on
the way to this I ~ for the purpose of
pushing Louisvi..e'sapplication WASH
ington and New York are also knock
Ing for admission. There is rumor
that William Barnie is the moving
spirit that is pushing New York for
membership In the new organization.
Barnie is now connected with the Prov
idence club. Detroit is represented by
proxy in the hands Of the Milwaukee
people, Philadelphia's interests are
looked after by Frank Richter, and
Chicago is represented by A. c. Anson.
Representatives are also here from
Baltimore, st. Louis and Boston. H.
ID. Quin. president Of the association,
said it would act entirely independent
of the National League.
1t is announced from Washington,
and verified by Colonel John Rogers,
Of t, Is city. that the magnates of the
National Baseball league have already
formulated plan of attack on tho
newly formed association. The scheme
is to have counter attraction in each
city whenever the new association has
game scheduled. Second rate teams
Will be organized from the spare ma

Sold Oleo For Butter.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Alleged fraud in
the sale of butterine, which hundreds
of dealers throughout the country
have purchased as butter, is said to
have been practiced by John r. Rooney
and Walter H. Butler, who will ap-
pear before United States commits
sioner today to answer to two charges
Of alleged violation of the internal

they have carried on business as whole

paid the government license. They
are said to have removed the required
stamps from oleomargarine packages
and sold the article as butter.
