call the last skirmish with the bucket

today, when counsel for the board will

TAKING EMPIRE
STRAIGHT.
Triumph of Mckinley Means
the Establishment of
Imperialism.

An idea Is nursed by quite number
of anti-imperialists that their fight
against empire can go on with good
prospects of success with Mr.. McIkin-
ley III the White House for second
term. Let us vote for Mckinley, they
say, and destroy Organism forever
Then we will destroy Imperialism
Such men suffer themselves to be de-
luded i'll order to escape from q trying
position.
The reelection of Mr.. Mckinley will
settle the fundamental issue. lie will
regard his victory as an Endorsement
of his record and his policy, his party
will take no backward STEP" the Phil
ippincs will be kept as an American
dependency, and even the supreme
court will be influenced in its decisions
on constitutional questions by the
wishes of the people concerning Amer
lean territory as expressed ut the
polls. To anticipate any other result
from Mr. Mckinley's reelection is the
idlest nonsense. The triumph of the
president in this contest means the
final and irrevocable establishment Of
the American empire.
Doubtless an anti-imperlalist senti-
nlent will continue to exist after that
reelection. all anti-imperialist party
may even appeal to the people for sup
port. But after this contest lost such
sentiment and such a party will be in
the academic and feeble position of the
anti-imperialists of Great Britain.
1t is high time that anti-imperialists
stopped postponing their fight until a
more convenient and comfortable sea-
son. II they wish to prevent the estab-
.lishment Of an empire, they must act
at once. They must choose definitely
and for all time at this election. The
present opportunity to paralyze imperi-
alism in it's infancy will never return.
The conditions of the present choice
ore far from gratifying, but as they
are made SO must they be met.
The anti-imperialist who helps to
make Mr.. Mckinley president a second
time must thereafter take his empire
straight. Springfield (Mass) Republic

FATTENED ON
HUMAN MISERY,
Glance at Hanna's Record In
His Dealings With
Labor.

1t Is the fashion Of partisan newspa-
pers and of strenuous politicians OF
both parties to inveigh against Hanna
merely us the representative of fat
frying administration and as a thor
oughly INSCRIPTIONS man.
He is more than this. Let the min
ers of Hanna's own subterranean hell
in the Pittsburg district stand forth
and testify. Even before the Ohio SEN
ate had branded the word "Briber" on
bis brazen forehead his coal mine
starvelings had written him down us a
soulless brute.
In the years from 1882 to 1886 Han
ma acquired many steamers and sail
ing vessels, which piled up and down
the lakes, doing his bidding in a mad
race for wealth. These vessels were
manned by labor union crews. Hanna
thought SO much Of these union sailors
and was SO deeply concerned In their
welfare that he cut their wages from
2.25 TO 81 per day, just one peg above
starvation point, and practically dis
rupted their organization.
Leechlike. he has thrived on strikes
and tattened on human misery. Those
who pick and blast his dollars from
coal veins hundreds of yards beneath
the sand of his carriage wheels will
give you many instances of his pecul-
lar philanthropy toward labor and la
hor unions.
In 1898 Hanna sat with many coal
operators in meeting which preluded
the throwing Of thousands of miners
out of work. When the meeting broke
up, word was sent out to keep all min
crs ut worl; day and night. In this
way 100000 tons of coal were stored
for future market.
Then began the philanthropic scheme
of cutting and trimming and oppress-
ing the miners in their coal bells, of
plucking them at the bunko stores, Of
docking their wages. Of keeping from
them the mere pittance they worked
for and of SO starving and prosecuting
them that the gaunt. grimed worms Of
the earth turned at last with snarl
and struck at the heels Of Hanna and
his fellows.
Coal production was stopped at once.
ccal famine set in. Its price went
up. little by little. while the miners
starved in their novels. until it was So
a ton higher than it was before the
strike.
Then out came the 100000 tons re-
serve from Hanna and his gang, and
a net profit Of $4 100000 was the result.
In the meantime many miners had
died Of sickness and starvation, homes
had been disrupted and families ruined
to enrich the Hanna pocket.
Come bit farther down the line on
the spoor OF this philanthropic VAN,
pire. You remember how Hanna in the
campaign Of 1896 promised all sorts Of
work not only to his own miners. but
tn the miners of the entire United
States "in case Mckinley was elected.
Wen, the miners hearkened unto his
voice. and Mckinley was elected. Then

shown conciliatory spirit and know
of no good reason why the proposition

Washington, Oct. 19.-For the first

cable the substance Of certain propo-
sitions advanced by Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang as basis for the con-
duct of negotiations for settlement
of the Chinese trouble. The Chinese
government already has prepared the
way for these by preliminary action
looking toward the punishment of Chi
nese officials guilty Of completely in
the Boxer uprising and, while the text
of Mr.. Conger's communication is not
made public, it is believed that the
latest Chinese advice is addressed to
some of the propositions contained In

of counter proposals and proceeding
upon the theory that what has been
done in the matter of punishments IL
sufficient to meet the demands from
the powers in that respect.

ROADS OF SAWDUST.
When Properly Constructed, and
Then Kept I'm Repair, They Give
- Excellent Service.


Any strong, fibrous substance, and
especially one which holds moisture,
such as the refuse of sugar cane or
sorghum and even common straw,
fax or swamp grass, is useful in road
making. Spent tanbark is of some
service, and wood fiber in any form
is excellent. The best is the fibrous
sawdust made in saving shingles by
those machines. which cut lengthwise
OF the fiber into the side of the block.
Sawdust is FIRST spread on the road
from eight to ten inches deep, and
this is covered with sand to protect
the road against fire lighted from
pipes or cigars carelessly thrown or
emptied on the roadbed. The sand
also keeps the sawdust damp. The
dust and sand soon become hard and
packed, and the wheels of the heav-
lest wagons make but little impress
sion upon the service. The roadbed
appears to be almost as solid as a
plank road, but it is much easier for
the teams. The road prepared in this
manner will remain good for four or
five years and will then require re-
newing in some parts. The ordinary
lumber sawdust would not be so
good, of course, but if mixed with
planer shavings might serve fairly
well.-Boston Transcript.
