PUTS PARTY ABOVE COUNTRY.

Who would have thought that the
man who a year ago declared in the
United States senate that the downfall
ni- the republic would date from the
administration of William Mckinley
would eat his words and proclaim aloud
that despite the impcria!istic policy OF
Mckinley wlricll>he SO cloqucntly de-
nounccd he will vote and work for him
i'll preference to William ]. Bryan?
That is exactly what Senator Hoar OF
Massachusetts has done.
When he said that the policy pursued
by Mckinley in the Philippines was a
crime against liberty the subsidized
sheets OF imperialism stigmatizcd shin
as a mental imbecile in his dotagc
Since his backsliding the same unprin.
cipled organs say he is profound
statesman possessing all his faculties
unimpaired
To the surprise OF every one Mr.
Ioar processes faith in McKinlcy's pa.
lriotisn while he still believes that i'm.
perialism is fatal to human liberty al
home and abroad. Mckinley has moi
changed particle in his foreign policy
and yet MIR. Hoar stulti6es himself be.
lore the American people by saying he
will support him for reelection. He
places partisanship before patriotism
and exhibits himself as trucking pol.
itician instead OF heroic statesman
who would save the republic.
Ii he was right in the first place he is
wrong now. If he believed what he
said when he denounced Mckinley
policy it is little short of treason TO,
him to assume his present attitude. He
is blind partisan who has not the
courage Of his convictions and who has
forfeited the respect of his countrymer
by his crawishing.

ga CRIME REPEATED. ,,

In 1896 the St. Paul Globe, "osten-
sibly Democratic" bolted the party
nominees, and made pretense of sup
porting Palmer and Buckner, the gold
Democratic candidates The morning
after election, it printed a rooster to
crow over McKinley's election, says
| Hon. c. F. Macdonald in the St. Cloud
Times.
The Globe has not since been but
little more Democratic than the Min
neapolis Times, which claimes to be
independent, but is Republican
On May 9th, as will be remembered,
the Times called attention to the fact
that the Globe was in no sense Demo-
cratic. In its issue of May sd it said,
cditorially, that ii it did take 100000
Yankee soldiers to subdue the Phil
pines, so much the better 1t said

closed with an apology for trusts.

While such gold Democrats as David

A Big Whepper.

The following extract is taken from a
speech made by John M. Thurston last
week at Philadelphia:
Washington made our flag the flag
OF independence; Lincoln made it the
flag OF liberty and Mckinley made it
the flag of mans humanity to man, un-
til to-day, on land and sea, the wide

M'K1NLBY'S SULu ALLIES.

Inc SilCaSO 1TlDuHc correspondent
at Manila, in a letter dated June IL, in
forms the American people that things
are in bad shape in the Philippine Is
lands. He says that Americans are
short OF men, and that the task of sub
DUNG the Filipinos is greater than was
supposed by Gen. Otis. More SOL
dicrs" is the demand which is coming to
Gen. Macarthur from every department
of the islands, and recent events have
vindicated Gen. Lawton's judgment that
100000 troops will be needed to estab-
lish American sovereignty over the Phil
ippines
The Mohammedan allies of William
Mckinley, whose allegiance was pur-
chased by the money of American tax
payers, are beginning to look with SITS
picion on the benevolent Methodist of
the White House. Despite the fact that
in the treaty entered into between Will
lam Of Canton and the Sultan OF Sulu,
the latter was guaranteed protection by
the United States to carry on slavery
and polygamy in his dominions forever,
yet the dusky monarch is not satisfied.
He must have heard that McKinley's
representatives failed to keep faith will,
the Christian Filipinos, and if they
proved false to their fellow Christians
why not prove doubly false to Mo-
fammedans? Therefore it is that the
Sultan of Sulu, his dattos and bolomen
have called Allah to witness that they
will kill every, American soldier of En-
peror Mckinley who comes in their
way. The Moros are fighters by nature,
do not fear death, have many guns,
though OF Anticipated makes, but do the
best execution by lying in the thick jun
giles and cutting down soldiers who pass
through will, their knives and spears.
The Tribune correspondent relates a
battle between the cavalrymen of Cap
tain Dodd and the forces Of Aglipay, a
patriotic Filipino priest, which is worth
recording. He says the natives fought
with reckless bravery. They approach
ed the Americans in three lines, an adj
vance guard of women arranged with
the expectation that the Americans
would not fire upon them. after the
women line of bolomen and others

more dangerous than policemen's clubs.

The slaughter oi the brown men OF

tons yet unborn Tor the bloody work
in which he is engaged. The American
people will not allow their servant to
iasten the yoke OF slavery upon the
Philippine natives. Before many
months clapsc the little Napoleon will
find out that he cannot act the tyrant in

be liberated from his bondage. and he

Republican papers are boasting OF
American generosity in bringing some
Goo teachers from Cuba to be trained at
the expense of our government at the
Harvard summer school. Where does
the money come from which pays for
the expense OF transportation, board
and instruction? Is it not from the
taxation of the Cubans? 1t is certain
that congress made no appropriation
for the purpose.

interview last Saturday. He it was who
furnished the German press with Repub-

now:
"A government with imperial powers
over possessions cannot long remain re-
publican at home. AS the government
could not have lived half slave and hall
free, SO it cannot live half imperial and
half republican. The republican party
now stands for imperialism, expansion
and is already busy cultivating the spir-

has earnestly and forcibly pronounced
against imperialism with its resultant
evils. and for the preservation of
the republic and the constitution.
The issue is thus made up, and con-
slider it my plain duty to help maintain
the republic by such efforts as I can
make, humble though they are.

The COMMUNICATIONS will decide

control.
The combined department OF Santiago
and Puerto Principe is Without a COM
mander, although the duties of the post
vacated by General Wood upon his promo
ton to the governor generalship are tenn
porarily being discharged by the senior
