.BRYAN'S SAYINGS ON
IMPERIALISM AND
MILITARlSM.

When the desire to steal becomes
uncomfortable in an Individual he is
declared to be kleptomaniac, and is
sent to an asylum; when the desire to
grab land becomes uncomfortable in a
nation we are told that the currents
Oh destiny are flowing through the
hearts OF men" and that the American
people arc entering upon manifest
mission"
Plutarch said that men entertained
three sentiments concerning the an
cient gods: They feared them for their
strength, admired them for their wis
dom. and loved them for their justice.
Jefferson taught the doctrine that
governments should win the love of
men. What shall be the ambition OF
our nation; to be loved because it is
just or to be feared because 1t is
strong?
To borrow a Bible quotation, "a
house divided against itself can not
stand" Paraphrasing Lincoln's decla-
ration, IL may add that this nation can
not endure half republic and half col
ony-half free and half vassal." Our
form of government, our traditions, our
present interests, and our future well
fare, all forbid our entering upon ca
reer of conquest.
Great problems are solved slowly, but
struggling humanity marches on, step
by step. content at each nightfall ii it
can pitch It's tent on little higher
ground. 1t was God himself who
placed In every human heart the love
of liberty. He never made race of
people so low in the scale of civilization
or intelligence that It would welcome
foreign master.
Destiny Is not matter of chance. 1t
Is a matter of choice; 1t Is not a thing
to be waited for. 1t Is a thing to be
achieved.
No one can see the end from the be-
ginning. but every one can make his
course an honorable one from begin
ming to end by adhering to the right
under all circumstances. Whether a
man steals much or little may depend
upon his opportunities, but whether he
steals at all depends upon his own vo-
lition.
That the leaders of q great party
should claim for any President or Con-
gress the right to treat millions OF peo-
pie as mere possessions" and deal
with them unrestrained by the Consti-
tuition or the bills of rights, shows how
far we have already departed from the
may be expected IL this nation deliber-
ately enters upon career OF empire.
No one has n right to expect from
society more than 4 fair compensation
for the services which he renders to
society. If he secures more 1T is at the
expense of some one else. 1t is no in
justice to him to prevent his doing in
justice to another. To him who would,
either through. class Legislation or in
The absence of the necessary legisla-
ton. trespass upon the rights of an
other. the Democratic party says,
''Thou shalt not"
l place the philosophy of Franklin
against the sordid doctrine of those
who would put n price upon the head
of an American soldier and justify IL
war of conquest upon the ground that
1t will pay. The Democratic party is
in favor of the expansion of trade. 1t
would extend our trade by every legi-
innate and peaceful means; but 1t is
not willing to make merchandise of hui

HAIRED or PRESIDENT M'kIyLEy.

Walter Wcllman, the well-known
Washington correspondent, says
Dewey's candidacy is the handiwork
of his ambitious wife, and says it il
generally regretted in Washington
that he should "allow himself To be
forced into n ridiculous attitude
through petticoat politics and the
wreaking OF feminine spite" The
writer then relates the following in
cident, which shows the silly animus
Of the Dewcys against President Me-
Kinley:
Admiral Dewey's anger toward
President Mckinley is Of feminine fer
mentation and had its origin in n
very characteristic instance Ut FEM
mime piquc. When Dewey came to
Washington tn be presented with the
sword voted him by congress, Mrs.
Hazen, now Mrs. Dewey. and one or
two of her kiniolks thought IL would
he n grand idea to have their ear
riages used 10y the admiral and presi-
dent Mckinley In the triumphant
procession To the capitol. So they
arranged To have eight white horses
hitched to the family vehicle. which
should carry the hero OF Manila bay
through the streets of Washington.
A certain respect Is due. however.
To the office Of President OF the United
States, and Mr.. Mckinley could not
with prnpriety ride in n private car
ringc ON II ceremonial occasion. As
the head Of the state it was not fit
ting for him tn be the guest of nu-
other IN n public function. So he de.
cidcd To ride in his own carriage and
invited Admiral Dewey to sit by his
side, precisely AZ an outgoing presi.
dent invites his successor To ride with
him To the capitol To take the oath
of Office.
Admiral Dewey did ride In Presl
dent Mcklnley's carriage on that
day, and Mr.. Mckinley has never
been forgiven his interference with q
prettily hid plan.
Now, II Mrs. Dewey thinks tn,
American people carea anything about
her social ambition, whether she |,
at the head or the foot of the process
sion, she il greatly mistaken. Sh,
may turn the head Of one man com
plctely, but the majority of the vot
ers OF this country are thinking o
something else besides Washington
social functions.

The Helena Independent affects TO
be greatly alarmed lest Gov. Smith
will give the Republicans a chance
to select two senator's next winter
by his refusal to call n special session
of the legislature To elect Clark's suc-
cessor. The Independent is afraid
two "goldbug" senator's may be re-
turned from Montana. This should
not alarm the Independent. Clark Is
"A pretty good "goldbug" himself, and
this same paper In a recent article, In
which it stopped over In its fulsome
praise of Dewey, clearly indicated
that ii would give him hearty sup
port In case he captured the nominal
ton Mt Kansas City, and Dewey is
the candidate of the gold Democrats
Of the cast. But "gOldbug' senators
are not what concerns the lnGepend-
ent. II thinks with II special session
OF the Legislature possibly Clark might
receive n vindication-by those under
great obligations To him-or, In any
event, the millionaire would be able
To dictate the man to succeed him.
The Daily crowd will not leave an
opening like this, ii matters not how
the next legislature may stand.
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1900-04-18
CLARK TURNED DOWN.

A unanimous decision in declaring
W. A. Clark's seat vacant may have
been unlocked for, but there never
has been any doubt but a great ma
jority Of the committee would report
adversely. 1t would have been con
trary to law, evidence and decency
to have done otherwise.
The accumulative evidence was So
strong that there was no getting
away from the facts. 1t matters not
how little estimate could be placed
on the evidence Of Whiteslde. Camp
bell and Others. there were plenty OF
facts and discriminating circumstances
drawn from Others to establish brib-
cry and an illegal use OF money Oh
the part of MIR. Clark to secure his
election.
Whether Mr.. Clark will resign or
wait to be voted out Of his seat re-
mains to be seen. When the senate
will act in the premises is also un-
known. 1t Is hardly possible that
enough senators a be found who
are willing to fly in the face OF a ma
jority report and vote to give Mr..
Clark his seat. This would indicate
n state OF r%ottenness that would
arouse Indignation throughout the
entire country.
Clark's strikers greatly desire that
the governor call n special session oi
the legislature To elect Mr.. Clark's
successor, believing that Clark or IA
man of his naming would he chosen
to fill out the balance oi the pretend
er's term, but there II little likeli.
hood of Gov. Smith giving the
Clarkites that chance. Besides, that
legislature in session again; never,
Gov. Smith will probably appoint Il
Daily man to hold the office until
Clark's successor II elected, which
will he next January. The fight is
still on and future developments will
prove interesting.

At the close Of business March 81
the national debt, less cash in the

This was n decrease OF 5000, 7O1 dur.

March were SIS, 72G,S37. and the ex-

at least $7O,OO0,OOO for the year end
ing June 30 next. This question Of
surplus revenue has been attracting
the attention of Secretary Gage, Of

can congressional leaders. Ii is felt.
however, that the session Is too far
advanced to justify any attempt be-
ing now made to disturb the existing
