ENGLISH IMPERIALISM.

In a recent speech in Chicago
Hon. David b. Henderson, Speaker
Of the House of Representatives,
said that he supported President
Mckinley and advocated his re-
election because Mckinley is strictly
following the ideas and policy of
Alexander Hamilton.
The following extracts from one
Of Hamiltons most famous speeches.
delivered June rs, 1877, before the
Federal Convention at Philadelphia,
will fully illustrate Speaker Hender-
sons meaning.
After advocating a Constitutional
provision fixing the term Of office Of
the Presidcn, for life, Mr.. Hamilton
said

"Aii communities divide them.

the others the mass Of the people.
"Ihc people are turbulent and
changing they seldom Judge or
determine rightly Give, therefore,
The hrst class a distinct and perma-
nent share in the government
Nothing but permanent body
can check the impotence Of dem
ocracy. Their turbulent and IN
comfortable disposition requires
checks"
"It is admitted you can not have

OCTOBER.
BOMB
Is Being Prepared With Which To Sur
prise American People.

Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.
New York, September a5.-The
News to-day publishes the following:
AT Republican headquarters it is
whispered about that the advisers
of the Administration at Washington
are preparing a plan by which the
anti-imperalistic arguments of the
Democrats are to be knocked into
smithereens.
The information has reached
headquarters in the shape of in
structions from Chicago that the
Republican spellbinders in the East
were not to attempt to meet the ar
guments of the Democratic speakers
on the stump in relation to the atti-
tude of the President in the Phil
pines. This was supplemented by
the information that there would be
developments in the Philippine sit
uation within a month that would
open the eyes of the people of the
United States.
THE REPUBLICAN SCHEME.
1t would be nothing less, SO the
information goes, than that several
o! the so-called rebel leaders of the
filipinos will. lay down their arms
and promise to surrender to the
Americans on easy terms. Then
the President will issue a proclama-
ton declaring that the war is at an
end, and also declaring that a form
of civil government will be offered
the Filipinos and that there never
was any thought in the mind Of the
Administration to hold them as
vassals.
This is the great rap which it is
SAID Will be sprung on the Demo
Gratis If the plan can be carried
through to successful termination.
There are several rebel leaders in
the Philippines besides Aguinaldo,
and although half dozen of them
collectively may not have much in
fiuence upon the war, their act in
simultaneously surrendering would
have quite an effect upon the peo-
pie of the United States 900 miles
away. Besides there is a press
censorship which can be manipulate
ed to advantage by the governing
power in Manila, and which could
put any kind of color upon the sur
render of part of the Filipino army.

FOUND CAVERNS.
Beautiful Caves Near RoWleSburs.
Ny stery OF Dead Stranger Remains
UnsOlyed.
From the Morgantown Post.

From the Morgantown Post
RowLEsBURG w. VA, Oct. A.
Beautiful limestone caverns were
discovered under the hill short
distance below this town, where the
men are engaged digging out clay
for the cement mill. The opening
is small but those who have taken
the pains to explore the cayerns,
find that there are miles of the large
assures extending back from the
river.
The cavernS are practically un-
explored, but sufficient is known
about the discovery to indicate
that the caves will rival the famous
Luray (Va.) caverns. The caves
are of limestone formation, and ex-
quisite specimens of stalactites and
stalagmites have been brought out
by the workmen. They are white
and clear as CRYSTAL. From the top
of the caverns these formations
hang, and from the bottom they ex.
tend upward, meeting those from
the top. Here and there grotesque
images are formed, resembling per-
sons, animals and beautiful natural
objects.
1t is the intention of the citizens
here to thoroughly explore the
caves, and if found to be as won
dcrful as described, a company will
be formed to build hotel there.
and advertise the attraction.
The relatives of the dead stran.
ger, who was buried in the 2otter's
held, have never come forward or
made themselves known. 1t is al.
most certain that the companion of
the man murdered him. The
ofhcers know the companions
name, but have made no effort to
lind him. There is no reward, and

REPUBLICAN FAKE POLITICS.
And the Desperate Tactics Now
Being Worked to Carry West
Virginia.
Any Old Statement TO the Voter is Sup
posed TO Go Till After the
Election.

The alarm felt by Republicans
over the situation in West Virginia
is shown very clearly by the fake
politics which they have adopted in
their forlorn hope of carrying the
State. This kind of politics is
sometimes successful but in this
instance it was started prematurely
and will be very thoroughly under
stood before election day. Men
have been sent into the oil, timber,
coal and iron sections of the State
which comprise practically all of
the counties, for the purpose of ex-
aiming the land. These men agree
to almost any price which the own
ers please to place upon the land
and represent to the owners that
they will buy those lands at the
price named in case of the re- elec-
ton of President Mckinley, but
that in case of the election of Bryan
they will not increase their invest
ment. Some of the owners of land
who are anxious to sell believe the
smooth-tongued strangers and are
anxious for the reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley. This is very
cheap election dodge and one easily
seen through, when it is explained.
These men come into the State rep
resenting the Republican National
Committee the Republican Nation.
al Committee supplies them with
letters authorizing them to represent
for the purpose Of examination of
land well known land buyers. The
land buyers run no risk for the so
called representatives are not au-
thoTized to buy any lands or to
make any payments. The National
Committee assumes no responsibility
except for the payment of the
salaries Of the men who are thus
sent out to deceive the people.
The land owners, if they will pay
any attention to the subject, can
easily satisfy themselves that the
50 called land buyers are simply
travelling politicians, working for
wages. FOR the National Republican
Committee. II they wanted these
lands under the administration Of
President Mckinley they would
have sent their representatives to
West Virginia three or four years
ago when there was a certainty that
President Mckinley would remain
DO Office long enough for them TO
dispose of the lands. r. they did
not want them in case Mr.. Bryan
is elected President they would not
go % Tie expense Of having them
examined until after election. The
fact that they send representatives
a. soon as The election becomes
close and uncertain proves conciu.
s.vciy that 30 is Che result OF the
election and not The purchase Of
tne land that they eek 90 effect
Another specimen Of fake politics
being worked by the Republicans
in West Virginia IS that Of contracts
t1 De- void In case yf thc election Of
Mr Bryan. This is an old dodge
and has been worked 40 every elect.
Jon during ihc .as, twcnt, years
Ihc transparency Of the dodge IS
shown by The fact that within The
last SIS months trust combinations
have been organized, capitalized ai
over two thousand millions dollars.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1900-10-18

Mr.. Mckinley did not come to
Washington this time in a particu-
larly good humor, although he
found the Chinese business, Of
which he has been afaid OF from
the start, apparently coming his
way to the extent of getting into
the hands of the diplomats, thus
making sure that nothing can hap.
pen in connection Herewith that
will have any effect upon the
election. He knows Ohio politics
pretty well, and tho campaign isn't
progressing there in manner that
IS satisfactory to him. He has
learned what the Democratic
managers have known for some
time-that the trust issue alone is
making thousands Of votes for Col.
Bryan among men who have here
tofore voted with the Republican
party, and the State is in danger.
lie has also had disquietinQ news
from Indiana and Illinois, both OF
which seem in fair way to 90
Democratic, if the present drift
continues. A personal friend Of
Mr.. Mckinley says he is also much
ohargined over his failure to stop
Hanna's speech making, not only
because the failure was humiIiatipe.
but because he realizes how much
harm Hanna's speeches are doing
him.
