Republic or Empire. ="

Tn" "Republic-or- Empire" bluff of
the Kansas city platform is too trans
parent to fool the American people.
No such question is involved in the
coming campaign. There is no such
thing as a party Of imperialism or a
policy of imperialism in this country,
today, nor is there the slightest reason
tn believe that there will ever be any in
the future.
There are many persons in this coun-
try, a small minority, to be sure, but
opposed to the policy of expansion.
There was plenty of opposition when
Florida, louisiana Texas and Alaska.
were in turn acquired. 1t is natural
that the same class of ultra-conserVa-
tiveS should protest at the annexation
of Hawaii and denounce the fortune Of
war which gave us Porto Rica and the
Philippines. History has shown those
"antis" of the past to be in the wrong.
ana lnbSt 81 To-Day VIII appear III ti'
same light as years gone by. But the
Democratic party leaders. eager to de-
ccive and confuse the voters as their
only hope of success, seize upon and
distnrt this opposition to a vigorous
and progressive Amcricanism ana at
tempt to use il to bolster up the cause
of free silver. They employ fully 1000
words of their platform in donouncinG
an 'imperaliSm" that does not exist,
and in rambling on about the dangers
Of military despotism," colonial pol
icy." "half empire and half republic"
etc 1t is nothing more or less than
political claptrap and the thinking pco-
pie Of the country will recognize it as
such.
The only national duty recognized by
Democracy is that Of winning party
victory by any means. and gathering
in the resulting spoils. The highest
destiny it can conceive Of is that which
guides on his way the Nebraskan Pop
uiSt whose rule over the decadent
Democracy is the nearest approach to

No SALVAGE on Lives.

OF the many horrible features
connected with the great tragedy
at the Hoboken piers. this
week. nothing has more i'm
pressed the reading public than the re-
voting report of the inhuman conduct
OF the tugbOat captains in refusing to
save the lives of those struggling in
the water or on the burning lighters
because the poor wretches had no
money to pay for their rescue. Not all
of the tugboat captains did this. but
many witnesses swear that there were
numerous instances of such brutality
and that dozens of lives We're sacri-
feed in consequence. 1t seems almost
incredible that this could happen in
New York harbor, it is 50 inconsistent
with American character. Such disas-
ters bring out the generosity and hero
ism in the Anglo Saxon nature, and
We naturally look to baser blood for
such sordid greed and selfishness as
this. The misconduct of the French
crew of the Boursogne surprised no.
body, but the world would have been
an American or English ship witnessed
snch scenes.
If those guilty tug boat captains can
not be punished for murder, then our
laws are at fault. Their share in help
ing swell the total of 800 lives lost in
that awful holocaust of ships and
wharvcs is a blot that must be wiped
out The excuse" that they give SO the
witnesses say is that there is no sal
wage on lives" and causes the Pittsburg
Dispatch to raise the pertinent question
why should there not be a salvage
as on merchandise" The theory plain
ly is that common humanity will make
the rescue Of ilnperiled life a free and
voluntary duty. But if the reports are
true the theory fails to work in some
cases, and perhaps in the cases whore
the failure is most calamitous. Would
it not be wiser to remove this tempta-
ton from men hardened in the strug-
gle for existence? Why should not
there be salvage on lives as well as on
merchandise? Should not steamship
companies seeking the patronage of
the public or governments encourage
ing and guarding the safety of the mer-
chant marine pay a salvage when i'm
periled lives are rescued as freely as
when merchandise or vessels are Sc
cured from loss?
