Imperialism and Militarism.


Imperialism is rule by one man or by
few. 1t may be manifestly in the
form of a monarchy, IA dictatorship or
of an empire. In any form it is the
antithesis of rule by the people as a
whole.
Militarism is a state OF war. 1t
may exist for time in a republic. as
in our own in the time of the civil
war, or during our war with Spain.
In a genuine republic, however, mill
tarism is but temporary state. In
despotic form of government, militar-
ism is liable 10 be permanent condi-
tion, for the reason that the monarch
must maintain his power largely by
force, and to this end must maintain
large standing army. Volunteers
will not do, for, as Governor Lind
said, THE volunteer carries con
science as well as gun" Further
n shrewd monarch is likely to hear
and heed such astute advice as that
given by Machiavelli:
THE greatest emergencies confront
despots while they are laying the
foundation of their power. To en-
slave free people a ruler must turn
the general attention away from do
mestic concerns. Let him seek for
eign complications and distant wars.
Struggles for dominion abroad distract
the attention from what goes On at
home. The most adroit policy for him
who would become an absolute despot
is to tell the people that he is making
them prosperous. He must dazzle the
popular mind with the expectation of
riches. But as It is manifest. that all
will not attain riches, he must take
care that some favored few heap up
enormous wealth. These favored few
will thus be detached from the people
and become wholly devoted to him
self"
Philip Of Macedon was familiar with
these principles. After overthrowing
the liberties of Greece he Immediately
made preparations for war with Per-
sia, expecting thus to incite the people
with enthusiasm for the flag" and to
divert their attention from their own
lost liberties.
Napoleon III. successfully employed
the same policy.
The philosophy of this is plain. II
n tyrant can be made TO appear as the
champion OF his country against for
eign foe no one expects liberty while
engaged in war. Warfare and liberty
are opposite poles. The will OF the
soldier must give place absolutely to
the will of the general or success In
war becomes impossible. The Roman
proverb ran: During war the laws are
silent" By protracting the war and
winning an occasional victory the deg
pot may perpetuate his power indeh-
nitely.
Some of the best work done by Her
bert Spencer has been In his constant
protest against war and his insistence
that unless war could be abated or
abolished liberty was impossible. Des-
pots understand this ms well as do phil.
osophers. j. Abbott.

GIRLS IN THE WHEAT FIELDS.
Young Women of Kansas Earned Bill
Sums Harvesting Crops.

Young Women of Kansas Earned Big
Sums Harvesting Crops.
Hundreds of Kansas girls now have
poclzetbook full of new, crisp money
as a result of three weeks work IN the
harvest fields this summer Many OF
them have earned enough to buy their
winter clothes. There is no way to tell
the exact number of girls who were EN-
ployed in the wheat fields this year, but
from the numerous notices of town girls
going out to do harvest work, as con-
tanned in the local newspapers Of the
State, it is believed that no less than
500 women were thus employed. The
work is easy, and the pay is 81 per day.
They can sit on a binder or mower, shock
wheat or rake hay. just as the farmers
may wish. The days work is from sun
to sun, and the men treat them with
great respect and courtesy. But the girls
will not allow the men to relieve them of
their share of the work Eighteen young
women from Mcpherson this year went
into the fields and earned enough money
blowing and harvesting to take them on
trip to the Atlantic coast. at which
place they are now. Other girls have
earned enough to send them to school this
winter, and many more have spent their
money for fine clothes and jewelry. The
daughters of the farmers do not work
in the fields so much as do the town
girls, who go out during the summer to
make little vacation money. The har-
vesting is now over, but many girls may
be seen running plows.

New York-Trade reports are in the
main more encouraging. Business, how
ever, seems to be confined largely to
purchases of goods for quick delivery, ana
there is little evidence of any buying
for future wants. A leading trade jour-
nal recently made a thorough canvass Of
the dry goods situation and found almost
a general agreement among the jobbing
houses that the season is undoubtedly
backward. The conditions existing out
side of the markets are, it is claimed,
favorable to a good fall business. There
has been no important change in the spec
ulative situation. Trading in stocks has
again been on a small scale, and the
movement of prices confined, except in
the case of few specialties, to narrow
limits There is no demand for stocks,
but on the other hand therts is no pres
sure to SELL The prevailing opinion in
trading circles is that on the basis of
intrinsic values the better class of securi-
ties are worth all they are selling for
now.
Chicago-Trade in speculative branches
of the grain business during the week
was governed chiefly by the prospects for
the stis, unharvested crops. Fluctuations
obeyed fot the most part the changing
views Of spectators, according as opinion
veered from the acceptance of one and
the rejection OF another Of the numerous
estimates of crops of this and other coun-
tries Of the world that raise wheat or corn
to any considerable extent. Even the
Northwest varies from day to day in it's
estimate of its probable production-from
scant sufficiency for bread and seed with
in its own borders to n comparatively
generous yield of 140,000,000 bushels.
Only a rough approximation at best can
be reached of either the home or foreign
production Of wheat, and not that until
much later in the season, so that more
cropping in the dark will have to be sub
mitted to for some time yet. Corn lost
a little of its value as it stood at the end
of the previous week because of the al
most ideal weather that las since then
favored the growing crop, which is now
conceded to promise as large if not
larger yield than was eyer before har.
vested.

HEARS FROM CONGER.

TlEN-TSIN.
Chinese Attacks Suspended, All the
ENJOYS Safe, but General Massacre
Feared-American LegationWel Pro-
visioned, but Short of Ammunition.

Minister Conger has been heard from
again. Under date of July p, in a letter
to the consuls at Tien-Tsin, he says the
armistice prevails, but IF they continue
to shell US as they have done we cannot
hold out long" Mr.. Conger confirms the
other reports that all the legations are
running short of ammunition. There is
even later news from Pekin. letter
from Lieut. Col. Shiba, military attache
OF the japanese legation, left the capital
the evening of the 22d. 1t graphically
recites the anxiety of the brave little
colony for the coming of the relief col
umn. 1T is not probable we viii be able
to hold out longer than a week"
Little by little, says a Washington cor
respondent, the terrible story. of Pekin
is leaking out to the world. There can
be no doubt that when the full narrative
becomes known we shall have a tale Of
savagery, Of brave defense, of heroism,
well-nigh unparalleled in history. A
handful of Europeans and Americans
penned up within brick walls and sur
rounded by tens of thousands of savage
fanatics. All the women and children
gathered in the strongest Enclosure, the
British legation, and all of them, be it
said to the honor of the International
guards, safe up to the time the latest re-
ports were sent out.
The enemy attacked with both rifle and
artillery. One night the Smelling contin-
ued for six hours without interruption.
More than sixty OF the brave defenders
have lost their lives and ninety EIGHT have
been wounded. Two thousand of the
Chinese assailants are estimated to have
been killed. -Four attempts were made to
fire the British legation, in which more
than 400 .non-combatants are sheltered.
The cowardice of the Chinese and the
bravery of the defenders averted the de-
struction of the buildings and wholesale
slaughter.
Thanks to the certainly authentic let
tiers and dispatches of Sir Claude Mac
donald and Minister Conger, and the va
rious other reports received of late, the

Pittsburg Police.
One of the boldest and most systematic
plans for the release of one or more pris-

Pittsburg, Pa, was thwarted by accident.
The object of the rescuers was TO secure
the freedom of the notorious real estate
swindler, j. G. Boyd, wanted all over the
country, who is serving seven-year SEN
tence IN the penitentiary for his misdeeds.
The rescuers hoped TO reach the inside of
the penItentiary wall by tunnel from the

omcers crawled POI feet in the dark pas

OI h1nk mas NO ne

Bressi, the assassin of King Humbert,
seems undisturbed by thoughts of the aw-

indicate that he had planned the murder
for some time, and that he had chosen
Humhert not as an individual personally
deserving of violet death, but as mem
Der of the class to which all anarchists
are opposed. In New York some mis-
guided malcontents laud the mans deed
and call its perpetrator a deliverer.
Bressi declares that in the event of his
release he will have similar work to do.
His friends in this countryside fiery ones
assert that other sovereigns are mark
ed.
In the course of his examination Bressi
did not deny that he had been designated
to assassinate King Humbert. 1t is now
believed that the crime was arranged in
Paterson, y. j.
A man named Salvatore Quintavalli,
who returned to Italy from the United
States with Bressi and accompanied him
to an anarchist meeting in Paris, has
been arrested at the Rio Marina on the
Island of Elba. The police found on him
letters and photographs of anarchists.
Anton Lanner, who accompanied Bressi
from the United States, has been arrested
at Ivrea. In consequence of these arrests
the belief in the existence of plot is in
creasing.
Bressi's brother, who is lieutenant in
the Italian army, stigmatizes the crime
as the most cowardly act of the century.
He had had no news of his brother for
a long time and thought he was still in
the United States.
