fends both slavery and polygamy
among people within the exclusive
jurisdiction of McKinley's policy Of
benevolent assimilation" while the
native rulers of those people, now the
personal representatives of the great
Mckinley, are paid an annual stipend
out of the pockets of the American
producers that the presidents foreign
subjects may support their slaves and
their concubines in such lavishness as
to lend imperial lustre to the name
and the dignity of their great over
lord, the American emperor-presldent,
who says he represents the principles
of Abraham Lincoln, and who even
offers to prove it by the testimony OF
that sanity chamberlain of the royal
bedchamber, Mark Hanna.
Abraham Lincoln declared, as demo-
Gratis have always declared, that no
man was good enough to govern an
other man without his consent. Nc
Kinley declares that he and Mark Han
ma, assisted by the trusts, are good
enough and holy enough to govern
the ten millions of men without their
consent, which simply means that they
are also good enough and holy enough
or will be in short time, to govern
seventy millions more in the same
manner.
The Republican Party and Imperial
ism.
The republican party, under the
present administration, has adopted
and pursued policy which in princi
pie is subversive of our theory of gov
ernment The distinguishing princi
pie between true republic and ar
empire is that all governments de
rive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed" This doctrine
| was written in the Declaration of In
dependence by the grandest body O.
patriots that ever assembled in an!
land or in any cause. Empires ant
monarchies may disregard the right:
of man and usurp the powers of ty
ranny, but such governments result II
the oppression of their home people
as well as their distant subjects.

MOB BEATS NEW YORK NEGROES
Vengeance on colored People Because
Nearo Kills Policeman.

New York, Aug ia mob of sew
eral hundred persons formed at IL
o'clock last night in front of the home
of Policeman Robert j. Thorpe, Thir-
ty-seventh street and Ninth avenue, to
wreak vengeance upon the negroes OF
that neighborhood because one of
their race had caused the policeman's
death. Thorpe was stabbed and
bruised last Sunday night by several
negroes while he was attempting to
arrest colored woman. The man
who inflicted most of the injuries is
said to be Arthur Harris, negro who
came here several weeks ago from
| Washington.
In a few moments the mob tonight
swelled to 1,500 or more, and as they
became violent the negroes fed into
hiding places.
The police reserves from four sta
tions, numbering 400 in all, were call
ed out.
The streets were filled with a riot
| ing, surging mob. The shouting OF
men, the shrieking of women, shoot
ing of revolvers and crashing of win
dows made a perfect pandemonium.
Lloyd Lee, John Mallory, Gordon
Jones, Spencer Walters, Richard Will
liams, Joseph Locket and other ne
groes were dubbed and beaten I'M
mercifully.
Policeman Kennedy was stabbed in
the arm and breast by the negro Lee.
Riot Lasts All Night.
New York, Aug. 16.-Peace was not
restored in the anti-negro riot district
until after three this morning. Dur
ing the riot it is estimated that five
hundred police were On duty. Ambu
lances from every hospital on the west
side were kept busy. The police esti
mate the number of wounded at fly
and arrests at forty.
