ANTI-IMPEEIfLTSH,

At this moment the issue that chief
ly engages public attention is that of
anti-imperialism in it's varied forms.
1t finds expression in the bitter OPP
position to the effort of the Mckin-
ley administration to deny to the
Puerto Ricans the safeguards OF the
United States constitution; in the
growing Impotence with the tagging
war in the Philippines and increasing
doubt of the material worth of that
Asiatic archipelago; in the widespread
popular indignation over the alliance
of our federal administration with
imperial Britain and its ill-concealed
hostility toward the republics of South
Africa: in the rising national wrath
over the revelations of militarism in
the Occur d'Alene, and the increasing
public conviction that an administra-
ton which denies the rights Of citi-
zenship to the people of other lands
will in time end by invading the rights
of citizens here ut home.
1t is noteworthy that the endeavor
to cloak Imperialism behind the shield
OF Expansion" has been abandoned.
Mckinley expansion is only the impe-
rielism of q conqueripg Caesar. When
the dominant party in Congress re-
pudiated the doctrine that where the
flag goes the constitution goes as well,
the last pretense that expansion was
being effected in accordance with the
fixed principles of American constitu-
tional liberty-as twas when we took
Louisiana, Texas, California and
Alaska-was demolished. We have
substituted for the principles of the
makers of the constitution the views
of colonial government enunciated by
George III, and Lord North. The PEG.
pie are asked to declare the American
revolution founded upon mistaken po-
litical doctrines, and to hold the
Tories of 177G better patriots than the
soldiers who starved and shivered at
Valley Forge. The first lesson of I'LL
perialism is that our children must
unlearn their United States history,
and that the code of national politi-
cal ethics must he rewritten FROM
models supplied by Great Britain.
Upon the practical side, the people
are asking Of imperialism: "Noes il
pay2" They see the war in tie Philip
pines dragging along at heavy cost

Otis that the ''insurrection" is quelle,i
Within a week has come a demand

ago military expenditures alone on
account of the war in the Philippines
exceeded 800, 100000. Naval expendi
lures were almost as much more.
For this we have got what2 The
hatred Of the $500, 900 people resident
in the islands. The distrust of every
European power having colonies in
the east, except England, which ex-
poets us to do her bidding there. The
valuable opportunity to sell our
manufactures to natives whose wants
are infinitesimal and whose labor is at
the most paid cents day.
And the people are coming more
and more to understand that the
gross injustices done to foreign peo-
Piles inevitably react upon us at home.
Imperialism means heavy taxes for
armies, nayies, commissions, trans
ports and the like. Are the people
50 rich now that they are ready to be
plundered for maintenance of q great
ly multiplied official class? Imperial
ism means participation in the
quarrels Of colonizing powers. Are
the people ready for foreign war?
Are our foreign-born citizens who
came hither to escape compulsory
military service prepared to take the
first step toward the establishment of
that system for robbing youth of its
opportunity here? Working men
know what part federal troops have
taken in labor troubles in
fluence great employing corporations
have at the war department. Dc
they wish to see the army multiplied
by ten and the whole country turned
into a Occur d'Alene? These ques'
tions spring irresistibly out of any
discussion Of imperialism.
None can say now that imperialism
will be the one predominant, over
shadowing issue of the campaign oil
1900. But it is the issue of this nc
! ment. It Is practical issue, q mora.
issue, 6. sentimental issue if yon will
all three. 1t affects the pockets, ap
paals to the reason and touches the
hearts of all men. 1t will not down
for in it are involved the Fundamental
principles of American liberty and
the existence of the republic itself.

An INTERESTING POINT FOR
BUSINESS MEN.

The fact that today, Good Friday,
is a legal holiday and is followed by
Saturday, which is half holiday,
develop number of queries as to the
maturity of commercial paper falling
due on Friday.
In 1898 the Legislature passed a
law regulating the maturity Of COM
mercial paper which falls due on n
legal holiday. This law is in the code,
as is also the act of 1890, which desig
mates the legal holidays. In designat-
ing the legal holidays the act of 1890
provides that commercial paper fall
ing due ON a legal holiday is payable
ON the next preceding secular or bust
ness day. This part of the law was
repealed by the act of 1898 and Section
104 of Chapter Z of this act says:
Every negotiable instrument is
payable at the time fixed therein
without grace. When the day Of
maturity falls upon Sunday, or legal
holiday, the instrument is payable on
the next succeeding business day
instruments falling due on Saturday
are to be presented for payment on the
next succeeding business day, except
that instruments payable on demand
may, at the option of the holder, be
presented for payment before l.
o'clock noon on Saturday when that
entire day is not holiday.
This section makes the day of ma
turity the succeeding day to the lega
| holiday, while the old law had it the
preceding day. Tile practice of many
years Of following the old law caused
many persons in replying to queries
to say thar commercial paper falling
due OF Good Friday was payable The
day previous, and II haaty reference
| to tie code whe.5 the Old law is 1e
produced because it fixes the lega
holidays seemed to confirm this opin
ion.
| Ex-Attorney. General John P. Poe
| in reference to this point, said tina
the code was not in error, is it con
tanned the law of 1898 which repealet
! the section OF the act Of 1890 in con
! flict with it. He considered tina
paper falling due on Good Friday i
not protestabie until Monday next.
Attorney General Rayner said
1.-The law OF 1898 undoubtedly pre-
walls. Mr.. Poe's code contains TIN
Holiday Act of 1890, which make
commercial paper fall due the da
preceding legal holiday, and it con
tains the act of 1898 which makes i
fall due on the day succeeding tn
holiday. Both acts cannot prevail
and the act Of 1898 governs the case
and commercial paper that mature
on Good Friday becomes payable Oh
Monday by the express terms Of tn
act, which also makes Saturday
dies non so far as commercial paper /
concerned.
Mr.. Poe's supplement to the cod
contains the acts of 1898 and 1896
though a portion of the act Of 199
was repealed. The Legislature G
1900. just adjourned, legalized thi
supplement.

BOER ACTIVITY CAUSES SUR
PRISE.

That the Beers should have become
a menace to the large army under
General Roberts at Bloemfontein is
causing not a little surprise. 1t was
supposed when "Bobs'' had captured
Cronje and marched into the Free
State capital without encountering re-
sistance, that the war could not last
much longer. Since then, however.
the Federals have displayed amazing
activity, and the belief that the Free
Staters were ready to submit has re-
ceived rude shock.
The situation at the present time is
far different from what the British
public supposed it would be. Lord
Roberts, instead of proceeding victo-
riously on to Pretoria, remains at
Bloemfontein. His men need new
mounts, it is said, and supplies must
be accumulated. Meanwhile detached
forces cannot venture far from the
main body without risking caPture,as
the loss Of five companies and the
ambush at the waterworks show.
Roberts kno wn losses amount 10 near
ly 1000 men during II single week. 1t is
now reported that General Brabant,
with some = .G0J or 1905 Coionials, has
been isolated ard may be sent to
swell the population CT the racec0urse
at Pretoria. Nothing hes been heard
of Butler for some time. He is to all
appearances stationary. The relief
of Mafeking, always just in sight, has
notyet been accomplished, and Colonel
Plumer is having hard road to travel.
TIE British advance, which was ex-
pected to sweep across the Free State
like tidal wave, has as yet touched
only a comparatively small part of
the country. In the rear the line of
communication is threatened, and en-
deavors to secure it will occasion more
delay.
