FAVORS A HIGH, HONORABLE Elk.
AMPLE.

We are in favor of extending the
republics influence among the ma
tons, but believe hat influence
should be extended not by force and
violence, but through the persuasive
power of a high and honorable ex-
ample.-Kansas City Platform.
We were anxious to stand we'll in the
opinion of the world when we went into
war; we desired that all disinterested
mankind should accept as honest and
sincere our assurances of usefulness
and of a lofty purpose. We sought the
good will of the nations on the ground
that we made the fight to accomplish
the highest objects for which man Ear
battle. The wal is now over. 1t would
seem to be the dictate of wisdom to
avoid whatever may seem to justify
hostile European sentiment.-Omaha

IMPERIALISM THE PARAMOUNT
SSUE

The Importance of other questions
now pending before the American
people is in no wise diminished and
the democratic party takes no back
ward step from its position on them,
but the burning issue of imperialism
growing out of the Spanish var in
wolves the very existence of the re-
public and the destruction of u
free Institutions We regard it as
the paramount issue of the cam
jaign.-Kansas City Platform.
This voice of protest against a policy
of imperialism speaking Of Boston
meeting resolution) against a proposed
course On the part of the United States
distinctly hostile to our republican sys-
tenn and which would inevitably lead
us into militarism, with all that i'm
plies, should find an echo in every
quarter of the nation. Thoughtful men,
conservative men, patriotic men should
everywhere within the boundaries of
the union make themselves heard in
explicit and unqualified terms in oppo-
sition to the demand that this war be
made a war for empire, that it shall be
perverted from the humanitarian pur-
pose for which it was declared into a
war of conquest and territorial ag-
grandiZement. Let those who realize
the dangerous character of the spirit
of Imperialism not delude themselves
with the idea that left to itself it will
not grow. There are powerful in1u-
ences fostering Influences prompted
by avarice and by ambition for power
commercial and military influences
and the force of these upon public SEN
timent must not be moderated. Against
influences all who believe that the
republic should adhere to its tradition

once. That is dictated by a wise and
true patriotism.-Omaha Bee, June 10,

FAVORS TRADE EXPANSION BY
PEACEABLE MEANS.

We are not opposed to territorial
expansion when it takes in desirable
territory which a be erected into
states in the union and whose peo-
pie are willing and fit to become
merican citizens. We favor trade
expansion by every peaceful and
legitimate means, but we are unal-
terably opposed to the selling or
purchasing of distant islands to be
governed outside the constitution

DEMOCRATIC PHILIPPINE POLICY
STATED.

The Filipinos cannot be citizens
without en1angering u civilization;
they cannot be subjects without
imperiling our form of government,
and as we are no willing to sur
render our civilization or to convert
the republic into an empire, we ia
vor an immediate declaration of the
nations purpose to give to the Fill
pinos: first, a stable form of gov
eminent; second, Independence;
third, protection from outside inter-
ference, such as has been given for
nearly a century to the republics of
Central and South America.-Kan-
sas City Platform.
One serious danger is in the Likelihood
of pressure from our new possessions
for admission to the union as states.
To admit them sooner or later, is to
follow a long line of presidents; to de-
bar them is to adopt a wholly new the
DRY of national policy. Under a policy
of imperialism-or territorial acqulsl-
tion-we must choose between giving
new possessions statehood and govern
ing them as colonies; the latter a course
which might be fraught with grave
menace to our whole constitutional sys-
tenn. We shrink from intrusting po-
control to dark kinned Hawaii
ans of uncertain pedigree and problem
aticai civilization. What a spec
this republic would present to the
world in denying universal suffrage to
one portion of it's people while giving
it to another portion.-Omaha Bee, Oc-

GOVERNMENTS DERIVE THEIR
JUST POWERS FROM THE
CONSENT OF THE
GOVERNED.

We declare again that all goxern-
ments instituted among men derive
their just powers fri N the consent
of the governed; that any govern
ment not based upon the consent of
the governed is a tyranny; and that
to impose upon any people a gov
of force is to substitute
the methods of Imperialism for
those of a republic.-Kansas City
Platform.
Every voice that is raised in opposi-
ton to the spirit of Imperialism that is
being fostered in this country should
receive careful attention. We confident
lv believe that at this time a large
majority of our people are opposed to
this policy. In order that this opposi-
tion shall not decline those who would
the traditional policy of the
nation and embark it upon a course

DEMANDS HONEST FULFILLMENT
OF PLEDGES.

We demand the prompt and hon-
est fulfllment of III pledge to the
Cuban people and the world that the
United States had no disposition
nor intention to exercise sovereign
ty, jurisdiction, or control over the
island of Cuba, exceut for its pa
cification. The war ended nearly
two years ago, profound peace
reigns over all the island, and still

pie, while republican carpetbag Off

that the United States disclaimed ANY
disposition of intention to exercise SOW
ereignty, jurisdiction or control over
Cuba except for the p~aciication there
of."-Omaha Bee, June 10, 1898.
Americans know that it is grossly un-
just to charge that the motive for going
to war with Spain was territorial ag-

ent government. No u%tterance of the

Herewith are given extracts from the
national democratic platform n the
editorial comments of the Omaha Bee,
the administration and imperialistic
organ of this section. A perusal Of this
compilation will convince any one that
what the Bee advocated before it felt
the force of the party lash or for
other reasons surrendered to the inn
perialist, was embodied in the Kansas
City platform. So harmonious in sem
fiment and similar in expression that
the one might almost be said to be the
echo of the other. But comment is I'M
necessary; the extracts speak for them
selves. 1t cannot but be conceded how
ever. that an editor who thus diametri-
caIly changes his views recognizes that
his expressions are without weight or
he regards his readers as a lot OF
%credulous numskulls who can be influ-
enced at pleasure for or against any
measure. Readers Of the paper who
cannot see hat its course is an INSULT
10 their intelligence are indeed dull Of
comprehension and more to be pitied
than to be blamed. Were a minister,
or other public speaker, who essayed
to be a public teacher, to be guilty
of the shameless inconsistency fiaunt-
ingly practiced by the local republican
organ he or they would be subjects Of
Just derision and public scorn.
