A Protest Against imperialism.

The house minority report on the
Porto Rico tariff bill, signed by all the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee, protests against the
Republican members majority report,
and protests against the principle of
omnipotent power in congress. and it's
extra constitutional power. Says the
minority report:
at is wholly inconsistent with the
theory and form of our government.
The exercise of such power is pure and
simple Imperialism and against it we
enter our most solemn protest.
1--WE never have held and cannot
hold territory as political dependency
and subject to unequal taxation.
s'Our union is one of states with a
common interest and a common des-
tiny. The blessings of our govern
ment rest alike upon all of our people
whether in the thirteen original states
or in the youngest member of the I'M
ion, or in the newest acquired territory.
1t does not matter in what form terri
tory is acquired. 1t is to be held under
our constitution with the object of
finally being admitted into the union

The Best Food for Intellectual
Thought.
A FRIEND.

No man can vote intelligently unless
he thinks intelligeutly. In this time
of ..wars and rumors of wars" the
greatest aid to intelligent thinking and
the best food for intelligent thought is
that newspaper which is greatest and
best.
Important political issues are daily
growing more important. An intelli
gent understanding of the policy of
nation or a great political party is
something to be desired, and it is the
duty of every citizen to thoroughly in
form himself upon the leading topics
of the day.
The Semi-Weekly Republic is the
greatest and best of all newspapers.
Its Geographic and cable news service
excells that of any other paper. 1t
prints the new news fully; not imag
NATIVE occurrences but domestic and
world-distant, fully authenticated facts.
The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and the

keeping in touch with the whole world,

No less worthy of attention is the
Republics Sunday Magazine. 1t is re-
plete each issue with the best of special
articles written by the best of literary
talent. It's beautiful half-tone illus
trations have already made it famous
and their quality and quantity will be
preserved.
News features of absorbing attrac-
ton are illustrated and enlarged upon
in a manner equal to the high priced
magazines. Events of current inter-
est are set forth in entertaining style.
There is humor in it's pages. too, and
for the benefit of the ladies the latest
Paris fashions are each week exquis-
itely illustrated and described. The

as state. In support of this doctrine.
the decisions of the Supreme court are
uniform and in harmony with the doc
trine herein enunciated.
1--WE don't believe the people of this
land, ardently attached as they are to
our free institutions. can be brought to
favor policy which Expresses the 10
habitants of territory owned by the
United States anywhere, and over
which the flag of the republic floats,
even if such policy should serve in a
degree to enrich some citizens of the
union. We protest earnestly against
the adoption of robber policy, which
makes this republic take the place OF
the ruthless monarchy, Spain, in des-
polling Porto Rico, now a portion of
the United States.

The McHanna administration is
about to pull the Chinese chestnut out
of the fire for England. Four warships
are stationed off the coast of China,
and preparations are being made to
ship troops into the Celestial Empire.
Of course, a righteous plea is put up
that the missionaries are in danger,
but this is a lie, pure and simple.
The missionaries-who could find
plenty of work to do at home-are not
threatened. 1t is the 'open door"
policy that must be maintained, and
Uncle Sam is to antagonize Russia
which stood his firm friend during the
war of secession, in order to benefit
Great Britain which during that sor-
rowful period lent its best efforts in a
dirty, sneaking, cowardly way, to
break up the Union. To show the
falseness of the missionary plea, we
quote from Mondays Washington
special to the Republic:
The warships, the Oregon, the New
Orleans and the Castine, were sent to
the Chinese coast about three weeks
ago on representations made to the
Navy Department by the State De-
partment. The latter based its repre-
sentation on the open door question
and on the memorial prepared by the
Shanghai Commercial Association call
ing attention to the Empress's threat
eniug attitude in reference to this
question. The peril of the mission
aries seems to have been an after
thought suggested by the necessity of
providing humanitarian excuse for
our naval and military activity. If the
missionaries are in the danger de-
scribed by the State Department, it
seems singular that no reference to
the fact has been made by the Shang-
hal Merchants Association and by the
Chinese association which addressed a
cable to the British Government.
Both of these associations referred
only to the Open Door. Thus it is
plain that the United sent three war;
ships to China three weeks ago, not
a fanatical sect, but because the open
door was threatened. About a week
ago the British Government increased
its Asiatic squadron by the addition of
the Terrible and the Argonaut. In
brief, both nations acted on the same
information. which officially referred
only to the political and commercial
question involved. To the State De-
partment must be given the credit of
having discovered the lethal danger in
which the missionaries are presumed
to stand. The British purpose in
dragging the United States into the
situation as an active agent, is obvious
Russia might desire to guarantee the
safety of the foreign interests and the
missionaries, and her occupation of
the country involved would be ex-
tremely distasteful to Great Britain,
for where the Russian Bears paw is
once placed it usually remains.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. ~ dairyman called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return.
He also bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not
come. as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says
the family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
of the country. For sale by druggist.

WHEN trust. a corporation, or a
syndicate, wants to break the will of
the people it applies to a Federal
Judge. State courts are good enough
for the common herd, but our as yet
untitled nobility claim their privilege
to be heard only before an autocratic
lifetime judge placed above the will
of the people and sometimes unrestrict-
ed by a sense of accountability to the
demands of justice. The Hamiltonian
influence exerted in the formation of
the Republic made masters where SER
wants should have been, and the polit-
ical beggar on horseback is in turn
under the whip and spur of Mammon.
The course leads to hell, which
thought at first is not comforting; yet
perhaps the Rockefellers, ETC., may in
time knock out the devil by forming a
Birthstone Trust there, giving the
crashing souls much-needed cooling
off But the horrible possibilities of a

THE testimony brought out in the
hearing of the C9ur d Alene investi-
cation before the house committee
March last showed beyond question
that the Standard Oil Company was the
owner of 80 per cent. of the stock in
the mine which caused the trouble, and
it demonstrated that the first demand
for troops was made by Standard Oil
maguates. In New York the Standard
Oil bank is filled with public funds
that pay no interest, by the kindly &C
tion of the Mckinley administration.
In the Coeur d. Alene the Standard Oil
miners are filled with lead, at the re-
quest of their employers, by the kindly
action of the secretary of war and
Brig. Gen. Merriam.
