Imperialism---WhatI Is 1t?
special Correspondence }

the harvest OF votea is garnered
next November, the people will
recognize that 1t IS but thing of
straw.
imperialism presupposes an en-
pire. and the magnificent domain
over which our lovely banner
flies is imperial in Its beauty, in
its products and IN Its extent.
Such wealth OF hill, mountain,
plain and prairie; such an abun-
dance OF chrystal lakes and such
a not work of commerce bearing
rivers were never before bestowed
upon anv people. Every state is
an empire; every county is a
prin cipality, for which, we as
true Americans, are proud, and
for which, as Christians, reeognlz-
ing God as the God Of pt tons, we
should be deeply grateful.
This domain has been gwen to
us by power that is higher than
any party or policy, though the
Republican party was called into
being to protest and battle against
the division of this mighty empire
which Democracy declared, in the
press, in its platforms and on the
bloody battlefelds, should be di
vided. To this extent the charge
of imperialism can with truth be
made against the Republican par
ty. Abraham lincoln was the
embodiment of that imperial idea,
and a martyr to the cause of one
flag, one country and ono imper-
ial destiny.
Imperialism, if il means any
thing the Democracy would have
the people believe, implies an en-
peror. a dynasty, throne a crown
and a scepter. This feature OF
imperialism, by no stretch OF par
tlsan misrepresentation, can ever
be charged against our honored
President and candidate for the
Presidency. He was the choice
OF the people; he was honestly e.
lected in a constitutional manner
and has been SO loath to oppose
the will of the people. as express
ed by legislation enacted by Con
gress, that in four years he has ve-
toed but four bills. He will serve
his two terms as many other good
Presidents, both Democratic and
Republican, have done, and will
then give way to his successor,
chosen as he was chosen, by the
free votes of a sovereign people.
The partisan accusation of I'M
perialism, when translated into
plain everyday English, IN the
light OF the history made during
the brilliant administration OF
President Mckinley, is simply
this: The Republicans declare
that 1t is their policy not to blind
ly abandon the islands transferred
from Spanish to American sover-
eighty by the Treaty of Paris.
The Democracy, so far as ii has a
policy, would have the master
nation builder OF the world aban-
don Its plain duty, furl our trium-
phant flag, and hunt an easy tu
ture rather than working future.
Porto Rico, recognizing the fact
that she can not stand alone, does
not wish to become an lndepen-
dent power. and the only thing
possible Is for the United States
to continue its sovereignty, which
is Republican, OF to invite Spain
to re-enter the Western Hemls-
phere and commence anew her
policy of misrule, of robbery and
extortlon from which we have de-
livered Cuba. To plant the Gus.
tOms of the seventeenth century

N0TA TRUST.

Attorney General Monnett, who de-
voted most of his time while in office
to an effort to enforce the OHIO Anti
Trust law against the Standard Oil
company, and who lost his Office for
his pains, must be well pleased to
note the preparations that are beine
made by his successor to dismiss the
proceedings against the great oil trust.
In the motion for the dismissal OF the
proceedings brought by Monnctt, it is
claimed that the Standard Oil con,-
pany is no longer II trust; it is simply
a corporation" and hence not Liable
under the Antitrust law.
The new Attorney General considers
this technical point very well taken
and will make nothing more than Il
perfunctory objection to the dismis-
sal.
This proposed decision of the SUI
preme court viii be right in line with
the declaration of another eminent
authority, Senator Mark Hanna, who
declared in speech few months
ago that there are no trusts; they are
simply combinations of capital"
The people generally do not care u
rap by what name the trusts are called
30 long as they have to suffer from
the evil effects of trust operation; ana
this is likely to be very evident next
fall To the political party thar
has devoted the whole OF It's four
years of power to encouraging the
Of the people.

Nominated ]. A. BeidIer
on Third Ballot.
Medina's Candidate Needed
Only One More Vote
When Stampede to BeidIer Was Made
Remarkable Convention.

Cleveland, May 11.-(Spl.)--The Re-
publicans of the Twentieth Congress
sional District nominated J. A. Beidler
of Willoughby, Lake county for Con-
gress Thursday. The convention was
one of the most remarkable ever held
in Cleveland. The defeat Of Judge r.
o. Phillips of Medina county for re-
of the delegates from his county at the
Republican Judicial convention one
| week ago.
Mr. Beidler was nominated on the
third ballot securing five more votes
| than We're necessary. On the second
ballot Congressman Phillips lacked on
" one vote of securing his renomina-
ton. On the first ballot, Mr.. Beidler
received but one vote, but after the
result of the second ballot had been
announced, the convention was STAN
pcded in his behalf. Mayor c. H..
Bolton, of East Cleveland, who was
candidate before the convention, re-
| ceived but four votes ON the last bal
lot On the second ballot, all of Boil
tons delegates, with the exception Of
II, east their votes for Mr. Bcidler, and
on the final ballot, 13 more Bolton
delegates threw their support to Mr..
Beidler Also on the last ballot ten
delegates who had voted for Phillips
on the previous ballot, cast their votes
for Bcidler.
Three votes were cast for Rev. J. S.
Rutledge, of Glenville, on the first
ballot, but Oh the second ballot the
three Rutlege votes were cast for Phil
lips. Tho convention was held at
Star Turn Hall, on Kenilworth street.
The friends of j. a. Beidler captur-
cd nearly everything in sight, and ii
was only through poor political fore
sight that they failed to capture every
nomination. l T. Lamson was placed
in nomination for delegate to the Ma
! tional Republican convention by the
friends of MT. Phillips, and was elected.
Il. c, Moodey, of Lake county, Beid.
Ter candidate for delegate, was also
elected. Captain Il. j. Kennedy, the
choice of the Beidler people for Presl.
dental elector. was nominated. The
friends of Mr., Beidler will control the
new Congressional committee.
Referring to his defeat, Judge Phil.
lips said:
1T was simply city politics. Mr..
Garfield and his friends remained by
me to the end. ] do not blame Mr..

CALL OFF THE DOGS!

The fact should not be overlooked
that the State of Ohio is the plaintiff
in the bribery proceedings against Mr..
Garber,now on trial in the Court house.
The great majority of Akron's cltl-
zens want to see even.handed justice
done in the case, without interference
from the partisans of either side.
For this reason the Democrat has
withheld all comment upon the case,

There are great many citizens of

Both Men Were Name d
by AccIamation.
An Effort Was Made to Defeat
Towne.
Platform Says Republicans Are Drift
ing Into imperialism.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 11.--(Spl.)--
The national PopIlist convention con-
cluded its session at / o'clock this
morning and adjourned sine die after
nominating the hon. w. j. Bryan for
President and the Hon. Charles A.
Towne for Vice Presidcat.
The nomination % lIc. Towne wos
only accomplished utter struggle of
several hours duration, in which an
effort was made to have the question
of the nomination of Vice Presiden-
tial candidate referred to a commit
tee to confer with the Democratic
party in its national convention. a
motion to this effect was defeated by
a vote OF PCS to 492.
Both candidates were nominated by
acclamation, but before the resolution
was reached various candidates were
placed in nomination, and their names
successfully withdrawn. Both nomi.
nations were accomplished amid scenes
Of enthusiasm.
The platform consists of preamble
and long series of resolutions. The
preamble congratulates the Peoples
party on the marvellous growth of it's
principles during the last four years
among people of all political par
ties this condition the platform
says gives renewed hope
and courage for the future,
in the efforts of the party to avert the
subversion of free institutions by cor
|porate power, and to resist the eventual
purpose of the Republican party to es-
tablish strongly centralized imperial
government.
The resolutions on imperialism and
| mllitarism deplorc the conduct Of the
administration in the Spanish war, and
denounce its conduct in connection
with the Philippines, Referring to the
latter matter they say It is in conflict
with all the precedents of our national
life, at war with the Constitution, and
without reasonable excuse. Demand
is made for the cessation Of this war.
In reference in this connection, to Por-
to Rico, it is declared that the Declar-
alton Of Independence, the Constitu-
tion and the American flag are one and
inseparable. 1t is also declared that
the island Of Port Rico Is part of
the territory of the United States,
made no by our promises and the con-
sent of the people of Porto Rico them
selves.
The increase Of the standing army is
denounced as wholly unwarranted by
the conditions of the county, and it is
asserted that this tendency will inevi-
tably result in an unnecessary burden
on the taxpayers. There is n strong
resolution Of sympathy for the Beers,
declaration against the monpoliziug
of public land for speculative purposes,
a demand for return to the original
homestead policy declaration fr the
placing of all goods controlled by the
trusts upon the free tariff list.

Every day or so some Republican

"views with alarm" the proposition to
remove the tariff protection and thus
restrict or destroy trusts that are rob

he exclaims, would be a concession 10

tolerated even for moment; all this
Notwithstanding that the excessive
charges Of one tarff-fed trust in par
