That Twenty Million Dollar Deal.

Some of our Republican friends
are bowling because the Democrats
and Populists in Congress voted for
the bill appropriating $40, 900, 900
to pay Spain for the Philippine Is
lands. Do they hold that bill to
have been wrong? If so their crit
cism is just. If it was right they
should credit the Demo-pops with
at least one good act.
But they claim that our fellows
were inconsistent in voting for that
appropriation while they opposed
the policy of buying those islands
from Spain. To this charge we re-
ply: That was debt acquired by
constitutional methods, and to have
opposed its payment would have
been reputation, pure and simple;
and inasmuch as Democrats and
Populists have always opposed re-
pud1ation, they were compelled to
vote for that measure to maintain
their consistency and the credit OF
the government. A man may be-
come involved in debt through the
dishonest act of his agent. Although
opposed to the act contracting that
debt he must pay it or stand brand
ed as a repudiationist.
The federal constitution says:
"He (the Presidency shall have
power, by and with the consent OF
the Senate, to make treaties, pro-
vided two-thirds of the Senate pres
ent concur" Also, "This Consti-
tuition, and the laws of the United
States which shall be made in pur-
suance thereof; and all treaties
made, or Which shall be made, un-
der tile authority Of the United
States, shall be the supreme l0U
| of tile land"
The treaty providing for the pay
ment of $40, 900, 900 to Spain fol
the Philippines had been made, rati-
fed and signed, according to the
constitution, and had thus become
the supreme law of the land" and
any congressman voting against the
bill making an appropriation for the
payment of this debt would have
been a repudiationist, no matter
what he thought of the principle and
policy involved in making such
treaty. Our fellows believe in and
honor the constitution.

Hon. ]. d. Botkin and Hon. E.
J. Westgate, spoke at the hall last
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Botkin
made the principle talk which was
confined to that horrible CD para
mount issue, imperialism. He fol-
lowed and answered the position
taken by the Republicans. We
heard number of Democrats and
Populists declare that his arguments
were unanswerable. The audience
was not large but was composed
mostly of Democrats and Populists.
There were only about dozen OF
the Republican brethren present. Ii
was good speech on imperialism
and would be beneficial to any
thoughtful person.

he could not accept and had hardly
