Speaking for President Nc
Kinley at the Hamilton Club ban
quet in Chicago, Congressman
Henderson of Iowa, Speaker of
the House, and by virtue of that
fact leader of the Republican
party in Congress, was frank
enough to confess the truth of
Senator Vests charge that the
Republican party now plots to
substitute Hamiltonian federal
ism for Jeffersonian republican
ism as the American govern
mental ide.
Mr.. Henderson made no at
tempt to conceal the TACT of his
party's determination to bring
about the establishment of the
strong central government adj
vocated by Hamilton, to be based
on the British system, which
Hamilton himself declared to be
1.-The best model the world ever
produced"
Perhaps in Hamilton's own
declaration during the constitu-
tional debate of 1857 is found the
explanation to a very large ex-
tent of this confidence of the inn
tperialists that they will be able
to overthrow, and thereafter pre-
vent for all time, the rule of the
rule of the people. Alexander
Hamilton, in presenting to the
early patriots of America the
manifold virtues of the British
Government, against which they
had been forced to rebel to gain
a feedom utterly denied by Eng
land, said 1T (the British form
of government is said with us
to be unattainable. If it was
once formed. it would maintain
itself"
There we have the secret of
Republican confidence in their
ability to establish a strong cen
tralized government-the first
form of imperialism-in this
country and to maintain it after
its establishment. The thing is
easy, as a matter of course. By
agreeing to the adoption of the
HamiltQnian system, surrender
ing that of Jefferson which pre-
served to them their right of self
government, the American people
will place in the hands of the
McKinleyite imperialists exactly
the power necessary to keep the
people in subsection. The gov
ernment of the strong hand will
then be an accomplished fact in
this country. The first exercise
of the strong hand in govern
ment is to stifie the popular voice
in government. An American
Government, duplicating the
British Government, will indeed,
IF it is once formed, maintain
ITSELF"
If the American people desire
that this Republic shall live and
that they shall remain a free and
sels-governing people they will
see to it that the system of gov
ernment of the British Empire
shall not be established in the
| United States. The McKinleyite
imperialists are fighting in the
open mop. They threaten the
destruction of the Republic and
the substitution of Empire. The
strengthening of the central gov
erument under Mr.. Mckinley is
the first step toward Empire.
There can be no temporiziug with
these renegade Americans. They
must be removed from power it
the Republic is to live. st.

The Salmon Murder.

The Salmon Recorder of the
5th, says
Yesterday afternoon Peter
Mckinney brought in the news
that Mrs. J. w. Howard had shot
and killed Henry Coy.
1.-The terrible affair occurred at
Mrs. Davis ranch on the Big
Flat, about eight miles below
this city. Coroner Whitwell i'm
paneled jury and with De putty
Sheriff Bancroft and the under
taker, went at once to the scene
of the tragedy. The inquest was
held and the verdict rendered
was that the deceased had come
to his death by gunshot wounds
inflicted by Mrs. May Howard.
Henry Coy had leased Mrs.
Davis ranch for the past five
years and employed Mrs. Howard
as housekeeper, and she and her
ttn-year-old daughter have been
living at his home for the past
16 months. She expected to
leave yesterday for Missoula,
Montana, where she intended to
put her little girl in school. We
visited Mrs. Howard at the jail
this morning and found her on
the verge of collapse from nerv-
BUSINESS. She has been advised
to make no statement at present
as to the motive for the killing
except that she was compelled to
do so to save her honor. There
were no witnesses to the affair,
the only one around the place be-
ing her little daughter Pauline,
who was at the time in the gar
den.
1.-The weapon used was a
double barreled shotgun and
both barrels were fired; one tax
ing effect in the top of the left
shoulder and the other in the
left breast, ranging downward.
Death was instantaneous. Mrs.
Howard ran at once to the house
of J. w. Birdseye, near by, and
told him what she had done and
asked him to bring her to town
so she could give herself up.
He however, thought best to
send for the officers.
Mrs. Howard came here
about five years ago with her
husband and little daughter, and
during that time has borne an
irreproachable character. Her
husband is in Dillon and has been
notified. The preliminary exam
ination will be held tomorrow by
Judge Steele.
Henry Coy came here about
eight years ago from southern
Missouri where his father and
mother and brothers and sisters
live. He has worked on the
Davis ranch nearly ever since he
came here. He was SO years of
age, and was known as an indus
trious and honorable man and a
good citizen. The funeral will
take place tomorrow afternoon. "

The Dillon Tribune of August
3tst, says :
"Wm. Howard, who spent last
winter in Dillon and is quite we'll
known throughout the county,
was in town last night on his
way to Salmon, Idaho, having
received a message stating that
his wife had shot and killed a
man named Coy yesterday morn
ing,
mo particulars of the tragedy
have yet been received, but it is
Mr.. Howard's opinion that Coy
was killed while attempting to
force his way into Mrs. Howard's
room. Coy is said to be a wealthy
rancher, living near Salmon, and
for some time past Mrs. Howard
and her young daughter haye
been keeping house for him.
Last winter Mr.. Howard took
the part of the injured husband
in "a Crazy Idea," which was
produced by amateurs. During
the past summer he has been
working in the placer mines on
Wisconsin creek, near Sheridan,
running the engine. He took
the train for Redrock last eve
ming, having telephoned for q
team to meet him."

As a result Of numerous complaints made to
