Evidence of the complete surrender
of Mckinley and his followers 10 the
imperiaistic element in the Republican
party is overwhelming. The record
began with the purchase of the people
of the philippine islands from Spain
like cattle. 1t was continued when the
president, without constitutional au.
thority, employed the United States
army to colsummate that 'forclble
annexation" which be himaelf described
as crimir al aggression. 1t found new
expression in the refusal of the adj
ministration forces at the capital 10
permit any expression Of national SYM
pathy for the Beers in their struggle
against imperial Britain, and it has
had its most impressive and menacing
manifestation in the determination to
tax the Porto Ricans without granting
them any representation in our national
congress - the exact issue upon which
the colonies in 1776 revolte1 from
British domination.
These are the manifestation of i'm
perialism in its relations to our foreign
policy. But it does not exert its bale
ful influence beyond seas alone. The
same element in our society which is
trying to prove th4t the Filipinos are
not fit for self-goyeinment, that the
constitution does not go where the flag
goes and that the declaration of inde-
pendence is an antiquated and out
grown collection Of sentimental falla-
cies, will in time turn their attention to
matters at home. Indeed, it is not
need'ul to say in time-they are doing
it already. You can hear almost daily
the voice OF some imperialist raised to
say that the suffrage is too universal in
this land and should be limited by a
property qualiication-that is, that
many of our people are unfit for self
government, and that the dollar, not
the man, should vote. We have seen
the constitution torn to shreds by the
unlawful issue of bonds and the viola
ton of every constitutional guaranty in
the Occur d'Alene. We find the post
Office authority used to cultail free
speech and destroy the liberty of the
press. We sea day by day the en-
croachment of the executive power and |
the progressive curtailment of the |
powers of the eected repre- entatives of |
the people.
That is imperialism. 1t is not O
distant danger, but is already confront
ing us. 1t has won its victories. and
with each it has advanced perceptibly
toward the substitution fan empire f,r
the republic. If our liberties are to be
saved it should be attacked at every
point, AMI its foremost champion,
William Mckinley, should be the first
% fall.

similar could be used in railroad
building. This was in 1890 and the

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Topics of Interest Discussed at the
State Capital.

The people of the state can hardly
have full understanding of the
significance attached to the result Of
the election in St. Paul May 1st
To understand it fully it is necessary
to recall that Robert A. Smith, the
Democratic candidate for mayor,
was candidate for elector on the
Palmer-Buckner ticket in 1896, and
was appointed postmaster of St.
Paul by Grover Cleveland in rec
ognition of his pronounced stand
against Bryan and Lind. It was
the Smith Democracy which carried
the St. Paul convention in 1896
which sent delegates to Chicago in
structed for sound money. It was
the same element of the Democratic
party in St. Paul which sent D. w.
Lawler and his associates to the
Minneapolis convention which
nominated John Lind in the same
year, and Mr.. Smith is the personal
and political associate Of the men
who walked out of the Lind conven-
ton and openly bolted the ticket.
Mr. Lawler, Mr.. Doran, Mr.
O'Connor and the other leaders and
directors OF the last campaign just
closed in ST. Paul, are the same who
have at all times held out against
Lind, Towne, O'Brien and the
other recognized champions OF the
free silver cause and Lind S political
ambitions. The struggle for sup
remacy in the recent ST. Paul con
vention was one which was we'll
defined and thoroughly understood
in the capital city. and the opposing
factions were led by the recognized
opponents of the two wings of the
Democracy. John w. Willis, who
led the fight for the free silver
forces, was defeated in the conven
ton and hooted down by the gold
men who were in the clear majority
and though for a time Mr.. Willis
continued to claim the nomination
he was ultimately forced off the
ticket by Gov. Lind and his friends
and though he at no time supported
Robert A. Smith, he publicly de

COUNTY LEAGUE.
County and Commissioner District
Oraanlzation Perfected.

Immediately after the Republican
county convention adjourned last
Wednesday afternoon, |. n. Temp
kins, acting as President of the Re-
publican County League, advanced
to the front portion of the court
house, and called the delegates
present to order as county league.
Mr.. Tompkins spoke briefly in
opening the League meeting, stat
ing that what was wanted were ac-
tive clubs in every precinct clubs
that will meet, meet often. work and
work earnestly, for the Republican
cans. A. J. Gerhard, acting secre-
tary, read the call, after which Mr..
Tompkins announced that nomina-
tions were in order for county
officers.
Frank Clague arose quickly and
in a neat speech nominated |. n.
Tompkins as permanent president
Of the league, and before Mr.. Temp
kins could decline, Mr.. Clague had
put the motion and he was declared
elected. For secretary A. J. Geb-
hard of Lambcrton was elected, and
later in the afternoon Otto Goethe of
Belview was chosen treasurer of
the organization.
It was decided to haye league
in each commissioner district and
chairmen and secretaries of the
same were elected by the delegates
present, as follows:
First district-H. H. Dahl Presi-
dent, N. P. Lang secretary.
Second district-Pliny Terry
President and A. H. Emerson secre-
tary.
Third district-W. E. kinman
President, Albert Hauser secretary.
Fourth district-H: NJ. Anne Pres
dent, E. E. Harriott secretary.
Fifth district. NJ. Thompson
President, F. Portrait secretary.
It was also decided to have an
other League convention at the
same time that the next Republican
county convention will be held, on
June Goth.
A motion was made instructing
President Tompkins to appoint II
delegates to the National League
convention which is to be held in
St. Paul about the middle Of july.
Mr.. Tompkins was given his own
time to select the delegates after
which the convention adjourned.

clared that il was at the instigation
of Gov. Lind that he withdrew.
From all this it is perfectly
obvious that Gov. Lind realizes what
others all along have seen, that free
silver has seen it's day in Minnesota
and can never again be made an
issue. In taking sides with the
gold wing of the Democracy in St.
Paul, Gov. Lind has simply made
a bid for the support of that element,
which has been so loudly denounced
and so bitterly fought by the gov
ernor and mis- partisans in the last
two campaigns. It is the old story
Of political expediency.
The governor, recognizing the fiat
failure of the silver issue, must 60
be fore the people in the 1900 cam
paign repudiating all that for which
he stood in 1896 and again in 1898,
and admit that he is candidate
simply for the sake of Office, and not
for any of the high and mighty ideas
Of reform for which be babbled so
vociferously two and four years ago.
While it is to be regretted from a
strictly partisan standpoint that the
Republican candidate for mayor was
not elected in St. Paul, it cannot be
denied that the election of Robert A.
Smith was a more serious setback to
the Democratic party. as at present
constituted, than would have been
the election of Chester r. Smith,
the Republican candidate for mayor.

murderer, was Friday evening chained

The executioners, who numbered
about 300 citizens of Lincoln county,
had not the least semblance of the
ordinary mob. Their every act was
deliberate and during all the prepare
lions as well as throughout the suf-
ferings of the negro hardly an UNI
necessary word was spoken. Grimly
they stood in a circle about the fire
until the body was entirely consumed,
and then quietly took their way back
to Limon, from which they departed

''The events of the past two years and a
half have resulted in condition that the
nation must prepare to meet. The need
for an efficient and well-organized land
force for an indefinite period in the future
is most obvious, and the organizat ton of
such force cannot be wisely avoided.
There are weighty reasons why such a
service as is now demanded of the army
cannot be performed by a temporary or
ganization. The permanent force of the
army should be one man for each thou
sand of population of the United States"
