Union Pacific Reported Back Of Proposed
Railway.

al visit of President Burt of the Un-
ion Pacific is said to be in direct line
with this new Union Pacific building
proposition.
This new road would open o Den.
yer a vast and practically virgin area
of varied and magnificent resource
and would assure 10 Laramie a great
civic future.
The Sherman Hill tunnel and cut
Oft will be in use by the first of next
February, while the time of compile.
ton of the Aspen tunnel is placed
at next July.
The bids for the construction of
the new Union Pacific cutoff between
Evanston and Ogden are all in and
construction only waits upon the
awarding of the contract. The dis
tance between Evanston and Ogden
by this cutoff will be seventy-seven
miles-a saving of nineteen miles.

doubling its pumping source of water
supply.-Rocky Mountain News.

Wyoming Gold
Hill Camp.

Laramie, Wyo., Oct 1O.-The
Wyoming Development and Trans
portation company has just finished
testing sixty of its gold claims in
the Gold hill district and Is well
satisfied with the result. The test
ing has been done by cyanide pro-
cess and has employed force of
thirty men for some time past.
Gold Hill is one of the noted
gold camps of Carbon county and
is fifty miles northwest of Laramie
across the Medicine Bow mountain
range and but a short distance from
Saratoga. The building of a railroad
as proposed TO the North Park would
run up tue valley of the North Platte
river.
Tho line from Laramie to Gold
Hill will pass through one of the
richest mineral and stock countries.
The preliminary surveys fol the
road have just been completed and
actual railroad construction may be
gin this year-News.

Colorado Springs, Oct. 11.-(To
the Republican)-In response to your
invitation I sen d the following defn.
itlon Of imperialism. Let us first
consider what it is not. Imperialism
is not necessarily the maintaining of
an emperor or of imperial forms.
Those who suggest this are trying to
throw political dust into the eyes of
the people.
Nor does imperialism necessarily
involve an abridgment of the clti-
zen's rights. The Engiishman pos
sesses IS much freedom as the Amerl-
can, and with the sole limitation in
the choice of his ruler, enjoys an
equal share of constitutional rights.
But his queen is an empress, his coun-
Try arbitrarily rules subject-races with
out their consent, and he is conse-
quently living under the reign of
imperialism.
The Century dictionary gives as
one definition of imperialism: "The
principle or spirit of an empire. Z"
In other words, any government con-
Quoted according to the principles or
spirit of an empire Is a government
of imperialism Let me illustrate.
President McKinley's message to
congress December 6, 1890 con-
tanned the oftquoted paragraph: 81
speak not of forcible annexation, for
that cannot be thought of. That, BY
our code of morals, would be crimi-
hal aggression" What did that
snean2 lt,clearly meant that forci-
Bile annexation might be right accord.
4ns to the code of morals which have
governed our republic. In other
words, forcible annexation is not Re-
publicanism; it is imperialism. s,
! Still another illustration. Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt IN his "Life of
Benton" (page 266) says: ,"No one
would wish to see any other settled
community now added to our domain
ny force; We want no unwilling citi-
sens to enter our union; the time to

In our generation, have seized the
waste solitudes that lay near us, the
iimltless forests and never ending
plains, and the valleys of the great,
lonely rivers; and have thrust our
own sons into them to take posses

conquest we see the. conquered land

against the consent of the conquered
race is European imperialism.
An early American poet, in an
ode to Columbia, brings out the
same contrast
The arbitrary imposition of exter-
nal laws on people sufficiently nu-
merOus to constitute a nation is i'm
perialism. The assumption by any
nation of the right of adjudging the
measure of self-governmeni sufficient
for any other nation is imperialism.
The clause in the Republican plat.
form referring to the Filiplnos The
largest measure of self-government
consistent with their welfare and our
duties shall be secured to them by
law, breathes the very essence of
imperialism.
The government of men without
their rightful participation in the gov.
erning legislative body, the enforce
ment of taxation without represent
alton, the coercive imposition on a
governed race of less favorable laws
than those enjoyed by the governing
race, this or what we are now doing
to the people of Porto Rico, is imper-
ialism.
The claim that one people can sell
another people without their consent,
the arbitrary seizure of thickly pop
ulated lands for professed selfish or
unselfish purposes, the attempt to en-
force unfounded sovereignty by null
tary power, the numbering of thou
sands of human beings because they
are inspired with the Republican vir.
tue of desiring their independence,
all thisLor what we are now doirg
in the Philippine islands-is imperial.

Prominent Cattlsmen Sued for Damages.
The noted Greek cattle tax cases,
twenty-nine in number, are set for
trial in the United States court at
Muscogee, |. T., Oct, "a. These
suits were instituted by the United
States district attorney for this
(northern) district some three years
ago and were brought at the request
of Ispahecher, who was then chief
of the Greek nation. They are
against some of the most prominent
cattlemen of the Greek nation and
involve in the aggregate nearly a
quarter of million dollars.
The revised statutes OF the Unit
ed States provide penalty Of 81 per
head for all cattle introduced into an
Indian nation or reservation with
out the consent of the tribe occu-
pying such nation or reservation,
and allows the party who informs
against the owners of such cattle
one-half OF the penalty collected
1t is claimed that the parties against
whom these suits are pending intro
duced cattle into the Creek nation in
violation of said statutes. If sue
cessfulin these suits Ispahechcr will
at once become wealthy while many
Of the cattlemen will be crippled Fl
nancially beyond recovery.
Since the passage of the Curtis
bill in June. 1898, this cattle tax
law has been regarded as not ap-
pllcablc to the, Creek nation because
the bill provides that the members Of
the five civilized tribes shall have
the right to rent their proportionate
shares of the tribal lands for agri
