5. J. j. Moyse, who is known IN
Providence, and who jumped his
board bill here some years ago,
turned up at the New OrIesns car
niyal and had high old time. He
represented himself to be Captain
Clark of the battleship Texas, and
married progressing and dashlng
young lady from Dayton, Ohio, after
a few hours acquaintance. She
went down 10 the Crescent City &C
companied by her brother,in.law,
named Aronson, and wife, and the
brother-in-law no doubt thought it
was the softest snap be had ever
struck, and urged the marriage with
so distinguished parsonage as a
Captain in the u. S. navy. Aron-
son must be FIRST class puddIn'
head to urge young lady to marry
in such haste, and she must be as
soft as butter in summer time to
think that commander in the navy
would marry any woman without
knowing something more about hel
than could be ascertained by al
acquaintance of an hour or SO.
When Aronson starts out on anoth
er trip be should have guard placed
over him, for fear that green good
men may take him in. Moyse ha
has done enough of rascality in thu
past ten years to send him to TIT
penltentiary for life.

TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM.

William j. Bryan's recent speech
es at Baton Rouge and Shreveport
outline very clearly the attitude oil
that great orator and statesman on
the issues of the day, especially on
trusts and imperialism. A great
deal has been written and said about
trusts and the manner of eliininat-
mo them. but no one has ever sug-
oes,ed practical method of accom-
plishing this except Mr.. Bryan. lie
takes the position that the proper
way 10 deal with the trusts Is ior
the States to expel them from their
borders, and for the United States
to require the trusts doing an inter
s,a,e business 10 take out federal
license, by which method they can
be prevented from centraliz'ng IN
New Jersey or New York, where
they are protected and fpstered by
the laws Of those States.
Mr.. Bryan pointed ont that i'm
perialism was not only wrong IN 1T
self, but that, by its very terms, 1t
compelled Congress to violate the
constitution; for, according TO that
instrument, the law of this country
does not provide for our holding for
eign lands by right of conquest.
This country has always looked
with an antagonistic eye npon The
acquisition Of colonial territory "a
policy which We inherit from our
foretathers, and which has been
handed down from one generation
to another.
jefferson laid down the principle
in the constitution Of freedom and
equality of all; but nov comes the
Republican party. in the person OF
President Mckinley, and attempts
to build up colonial empire, to
i establish form of government ovei
lands acquired by conquest that Is
contrary to the spirit of our instltu
tons and In su6version of both writ
ten and uuwritten laws. In order
TO establish colonial empire, We
/ will be compelled to maintain large
standing armies, entalling grea
burden of national expense, which
will have to come out of the pocket
of The working classes III the shap'
of additional taxation.
Mr.. Bryan would suppress tn
trusts by both the State and fedora
governments. AS to our colonia
policy, he would grant the Phillip
pines home rule on the same line
almost as to the Cubans, whenever
stable form Of government can b
established IN those islands, til
United States guaranteeing theI
freedom in the same manner as
does the Latin-Ameiican republics
without interfering IN their interna
affairs. Such is an outline OF tn
policy of our great Democratl
Statesman, who, condemning tn
: vaclllating policy of letting the cour
try drift along regardless of tn
= grand principles upon which 1t wa
: founded, suggests in Its stead cor
: structive policy, which will protee
the government from political innt
vations and dangers, and will war
off the oppression and burdens Q
monopolies in the shape of trusts.
