There is no race of people who
demand and enjoy greater rapidIty in
travelling than Americans, and none
whose requirements are so nearly
complied with as that afforded by the
railroads, yet, they have hardly be-
come imbued with the desire to as
sumo the roll of a living parcel" for
a planetary power of locomotion" or
surrender their characteristics of
humanity" to simply a business prop
osition. so much so, as to blind them
selves to the growing efforts of rail-
ways to beautify their stations and
surroundings to please their patrons.
The identifying Of station grounds
has become a special feature of many
railways, and probably one of the
most extensive preparations in this
direction is that recently outlined by
the management of the Rock Island.
Every station on its line is to be
beautlfed by one or more skilfully
designed parks, ornamented with
fountains where water service is
available. The care of the station
grounds will be in charge of the sta
ton employees and maintained at the
expense of the company. Flowers,
foliage plants and shubbery will be
set out in artistic shape, and such
other improvements made as local
conditions suggest. Many of the sta
tions are already supplied with parks
which can be improved and made at
tractiVe with q small OUTLAY of labor
and expense. While at other stations
new grounds will be laid out and
beautifed.

Circulation Statement.
An Object Lesson in Imperialism.

In the pronounced indisposition OF the
President and his advisers 10 summon an
extra session of Congress to deal with the
terrible situation in China We have an
other exhibition of the spirit Of imperial
ism which has seized upon the Republican
organization.
Mr.. Hanna. with characteristic blunt
ness. declares that there is no occasion
for an extra session. THE President,
says Mr.. Hanna, has full power to meet
all conditions as they may arise. He has
a full Treasury, and is empowered to call
for all the troops he may require to meet
such emergencies as may arise. ii TINS
is not imperialism run mad, then we 90
not know the meaning of the term he
duced to palmer language, Mr.. Hanna
declaration means that there is no limit
to executive authority and that there is
no power to check il. In this view OF the
case Congress becomes an absolutely use
less appenGage. and is hindrance rather
than a help in the administration of the
Government. This is not an extreme
view. 1t is in exact accord with the Hanna
idea of government and harmonizes with
the arguments now being presented
against an extra session of Congress to
consider the Chinese question.
THE President has a full Treasury"
proudly proclaims Hanna. That is to say,
the Emperor's eXchequer is full, and he
will not have to levy further tribute upon
his subjects for the purpose of replenish-
ing his war chest. The President may
call for all the troops he may require to
meet such emergencies as may arise" is
another startling Interpretation by Hanna
of the powers vested in the Executive.
Yet the Constitution says that the Presi-
dent may not take money out of the
Treasury on his own motion, and the
power to declare war is conferred upon
Congress alone.

The Paramount Issue.

Republican wspapers-notably the
New York Sun''-are engaged In an
earnest. If not an agoEized. attempt to
prove that the silver question is the only
issue before the country in the campaign
of 1900. 1t does not matter to them that
the Democratic national platform of the
year places silver third in Importance. SUI
bordirating it TO imperialism and the
trusts. There are grave reasons why the
Republicans do not wish or dare to take
up those questions with their opponents
and the country, and so. as they could not
have the privilege of writing the Kansas
City platform to suit themselves. they are
making despairing efforts to construe II
to meet the exigencies of the situation In
which they find themselves.
In one respect we are compelled to con-
fess that we agree with our esteemed Re-
publican contemporaries ard admit that
this is single-issue campaign. But the
issue is not silver. The real. all-contain-
ing issue before the people is: Shall the
country be turned over to Hanna and his
allies for another four years to be taxed
and looted for their sole account and en-
richment. as it has been ever since the
Inauguration OF William Mckinley in
March. 1897?
That is the burning question and the
paramount one. 1t is for the voting masses
of America to decide what they will have.
II in Presidential election, honestly con-
Quoted. they express their will that Hanna
and Mckinley, representing the trusts and
the money power, shall be continued in
unbridled power for another executive
term, then it will be perfectly plain that
the black book of evils and corruptions
called Hannaism is acceptable to a ma
iority of the american people. and that
they take it vita ali that 1t involves, know
ingly and willingly.
In that event Hanna and his combina>
ton will justly claim that they hold the
popular mandate to rule and ruin as they
like. and the world will be shocked at their
moderation If they do not make away with
everything in sight. There is no doubt
whatever that there Will be one dominant
and determining issue from this time I'M
Ill the day OF election. II VIII not be
silver 1t will be the emancipation of the
people from Republican trust control.

Taylor, Mount. and Roosevelt.

A more fragrant defiance of decent
public sentiment has never been witnessed
by this generation of Americans than that
afforded in the spectacle of the efforts
of the Republican leaders in all parts OF
the country to make a hero and a mar
tyr of w s. Taylor, the fugitive ex-Gov-
.ernor of Kentucky. In violation of all
law and Responsibility the Republican
Governors Of Indiana and New York have
publicly announced their intention 10 re-
fuse to honor a requisition for the arrest
and return of Taylor to Kentucky, where
there has been found against him by an
impartial grand jury an indictment charg
ing him with willful participation in the
wretched conspiracy which resulted in
the assassination of the man who was con-
testing with Taylor the title to the
governorsbip. At the Republican National
Convention the programme was so ar
ranged that Taylor got upon the platform
and the claqucrs of Mr.. Hanna and Mr.
Mckinley started a demons tration in his
honor which was general and enthusiast
tic. Taylor was escorted to Philadelphia
by the Republican Governor of Indiana
who previously had invited Taylor to take
refuge in that State A similar invitation
having been extended by the Governor of
New York, Taylor retreated TO the En-
pire State Immediately after the Phil
adelphia Convention.
In New York Taylor shaved off his mus
tache as a means of disguise, and the
country had lost track of him until he
turned up in Indiana the other day as a
campaign orator. The dispatches ;ell US
briefly that the covering leader or the
Hanna Mckinley cohorts in Kentucky held

KILLED CUBAN SOLDIERS.
A Former Spanish Guerrilla Con.
dcmned to Death.

HAVANA. July 1.-THE Union Espa-
rola'' today publishes an article saying
that Spanish guerrilla named Garcia has
been condemned to death by the Auiiencia
in Santa Clara for having killed Cubans
during the time he was acting in the ca
paclty of a soldier. This is against the de-
cree of March %. 1899. (which provides that
individuals cannot be prosecuted for crimes
committed during the war when they be-
longed to military bodies.
Senior sagrario. the Spanish Consul Gen.
erai, says that the crime for which Garcia
was prosecuted aHd condemned comes I'M
der this decree. Garcia commanded
small body Of volunteers who were con-
Quoting two Cuban prisoners from ono
prison TO another. The prisoners tried to
escape and took no notice OF an order to
halt Garcia either shot or ordered his
men to shoot. and both tie Cubans were
Killed
Senior Sagrario claims that II does not
matter whether Garcia legally killed them
or not. He called the attention of the
Audiencia to the matter, but Garcia was
nevertheless condemned. He has now APP
pealed to Senior Tamayo Secretary Of State.
Garcia has appealed to the Supreme Court
Popular feeling is very strong against the
tribunals GENERALLY. The Lucia has
started strong campaign against the
courts, and has appealed to General Wood
to change the personnel The "Diario de
