Washington, d. c., February 2O.-Unless
something should occur to change present
plans Texas and Houston will have
visit from President Mckinley this sum
mer. II is now practically certain that
President Mckinley will make an extend
ed swing around the circle, during the
next presidential campaign. 1t was the
original purpose Of the president to Visit
the Pacific coast last summer. but press
OF public business and, possibly. the feel
ing that it would be better politics 10
make the Journey in a presidential year,
led to postponement of the trip. The
president now has definitely stated TO
Senator Perkins and other Callfornians
that, unless the unexpected happens, he
will visit San Francisco in July or Au-
gust to witness the launching OF the new
battleshp Ohio. That means, Of course,
that the trip will be made the occasion OF
journey NOT only across, but around the
continent, for it is probable that the presl-
dent will go to the coast by the Northern
route, through Michigan, Wisconsin and
over to Washington, down through Ore
gon and California. and around by way OF
Houston and New Orleans and back to the
capital. The president will make a num-
Der of speeches. on his way to the coast

The republican leaders are beccm lg nerv-
GUS over the fate Of the bill. They have
only majority of four over the opposl-
ton, which Is solldiy opposed TO the
measure. Eight votes from the repub.i-
can SIDE would therefore defeat and there
are from twelve to fifteen republican
votes in doubt. A movement for a repub-
lican CAUCUS is being agltated and. al
though no call has been issued up to the
time OF adjournment tonighr, the general
understanding was that one would be hell

There Is no need OF mincing terms or
attempting to disguise or to gloss over
the facts. The country may as wei I'M
derstand the sltuai3 STRIPPED OF all coa-
fusion. The great battle wasel in the
house this week, in the ssnate later. and

to see that both republlcaniEm and democ-

party has ever been strict coustrde-
ZIONIST
The republicans claim that without a
colonial system the United states can not
keep pace with its commercial rivals
throughout the world that we shall lose
all the practical fruits Of the recent war
with Spain; that the United states can not
fill lis predestined place as one OF the
great powers OF the world and must neces-
sarily fall behind in the, race for prestige
and trade; that we shall be unable to dis
charge our obligations Of honor and re
sponsibility to the peoples who have
through war and treaty come under our
so-called protection.
The democrats claim that a colonial
system finds no place under our form OF
government: that II Is unconstitutional
to begin with. and undesirable even ii
constitutional; that republic can not
have subjects or exercise control over peo-
pie who do not give their consent to sucn
control: that such a departure from the
traditions and principles OF the republic
Is dangerous and revolutionary because
it tends 10 change our form u government
from one in which self-rule is the leading
principle to one which men are taxed
without representation and ruled without
participation in the soyernment--and
that this is imperialism pure and simple.
This is the Issue which has been rising
in this country ever since the war with
Spain. and now We have come to the part
ing of the ways. The country must de-
eide which 1t will have-a colonial system
or the traditional republic in which colon
les are impossible.
The country should understand. too
precisely what its decision of this question
means. A verdict for expansion means
retention Of Hawaii Puerto Rico and the
Philippines It means the violation OF a
solemn promise and the rape OF the
Cubans. an act OF trenchery without ex-
cuse save Commercial interest"
A verdict against expansion means re-
tention OF Hawaii and Puerto Rico and
giving up Cuba and the Philippines.
