Dear Sir:-In number 233. of the Is,
of your valuable journal | have seen
reference to my humble personality:
If it not be because they pretend in an
infamous and malicious manner to
make me appear before the eyes of
society like a murderer | would not
hand you these short lines.
In general all in this city like many
persons from that side know me and
are sure that in no way would | modest
anybody without any reason nor
would | make quarrel. and it is i'm
possible that | surprise anyone. be
cause | believe myself To have the
necessary courage To stand and dis
solve on the ground of honor any queS-
ton that can be presented to me-
Six years and months | have resid-
ed in this place. and they never had
made a reference on me until now that
occult enemies. that have no courage
at all and are seeing visions. threaten
to Islander me in this town.
In this place. if you question one by
one the reasonable people that are in

events that there is no occasion to re-
fer to they will tell you the reality of
facts.
Hoping that in proof of impartiality
You will publish this letter | remain

Mckinley has potato crop. The
news comes in little late in the cam
paign to compete with Bryan's farm
and wind mill but it may reconcile
some who only half believe anyway
that he will crown himself king. One
could not wish anything more simple
or nearer the soil than the humble
potato and the vision of the president
watching his hills of tubers is one that
ought to win the hardest hearted dem

IMPERIALISM.

Our reply to the French note rela-
tive to the settlement of the Chinese
difficulties. is interesting in the face
of the hue and cry that Bryan is max
ing about Imperialism. Twice in the
note the United States state depart
ment has to- comment on the fact that
the president cannot commit the Uni
ted States to the program. without the
consent of congress.
The French proposal included the
military occupation of points along the
Tien Tsin road and the organization
of permanent legation guards at Pc
kin. The president through the state
department has not the power to ac-
cede to- either proposal without the
consent of congress. He has estab-
lished legation guard. but il will not
he a permanent one unless congress
authorizes it.
Generalizing is easy. to say we are
on the verge of Imperialism and mil
itarism requires only lit
tie breath. but in fact our fore
a little breath. but in fact our fore
fathers builded well and the restraints
and checks and wheels within wheels
that they contrived to- keep the bal
ance of our government. work perfect
ly.
The president is powerful but con-
gress alone has the vital powers. the
control of taxes and war.
