In the dream of imperialism, the Mckinley
Administration forgot that the United States
had a charter aud that that instrument was
still honored, revered and upheld by the great
mass of the people of the country. Ia their
land grabbing scheme, they saw only trade
and dollars. Now that the Republican party
has to face the problems of government Tor
the new possessions, seized in the face OF the
direct declaration of Congress that the United
States in going to war with Spain diselaimed
any intention Of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
they find Constitution stands in the way OF
fully carrying out their schemes on the one
hand, and they find the trusts, the mainstay OF
the Republican party, objecting on the other
hand, because free trade with the new posses
sions means serious impairment of their
nro6ts

The Flour Trust Has Collapsed.

MILWAUKEE, WIS. Feb. 2s-The United states

eeivers for the company. two OF whom are now in
charge OF the property.
The receivers are Daniel Thomas of New York;
Charles Z. Kimball. Of summit N. j., and Albert c.
Loring. Of Minneapolis.
The collapse Of the company was due, it Is said.

having secured control Of the following -four mill
ing properties

Kin the Bill

Mayor Hayes started demand that Balti-
more city be allowed to retain all of the money
collected from liquor licenses in the city and
the people generally fell in with the idea A
bill is before the General Assembly TO carry
out the Mayors idea. If Baltimore should
be allowed to retain her license money every
county in the stale would make a similar de-
mand, and an increase 10 the state tax rate
would have to be made. If Baltimore can
retain the money received from liquor licenses,
why no, retain that from traders and other
licenses. The idea is ridiculous, unless the
state changes lis policy, gives np licenses and
resorts to direct taxation to raise funds TO
support the state government

The Courts 10 Decide.

The Puerto Rican tariff bill passed the
House of Representatives on Wednesday by n
vote Of l72 10 I6l. Three Democrats voted
for the bill and six Republicans against it.
II is said the bill will pass the Senate also
and will receive McKinley's signature. The
matter will be passed upon by the courts, and
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States will be awaited with interest as
defining the position the new possessions hold
to the United States and the power Of Con-
gress in legisIating for them. The matter
will arise out of suit of a citizen of Puerto
Rico for the recovery of duties paid on goods
imported from the United States.

Mckinley has not publicly congratulated
Queen Victoria on the capture of Gen. Cronje
and his army, but he and his cabinet no
doubt rejoiced when the news of the surren-
der was received. The tacit understanding
seems to be-England to have free action in
Africa, Russia in Asia Minor and the United
States in the Philippines. Free action Of
voters next November will tell the Mckinley

McKinley's Consistency.

President Mckinley said that ''Forcible
possession would be criminal aggression and
then straighway started war to take forcible
possession of the Philippine Islands. Ia his
last message to Congress he said "0ur plain
duty is to abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Puerto Rico, and give
her products free access TO our markets, and
then consented to demand of the Sugar and
Tobacco trusts to bill levying a tariff of Is
per cent OF the regular tax on imports from
foreign countries upon all imports from Puerto

Another Blast.
From Baltimore County Union, Feb. "a.

From Baltimore County Union, Feb. n
The Union stated last week that Mr.. George
E. Sharrer. of Carroll county had been APP
pointed Deputy Surveyor Of the Port of Bal
timore, position that had been held open. so
it was said, for Baltimore county man. Mr..
Sharrer had been chief clerk in the office OF
the State Fire Marshal and he was showed out
of that place into a much better one where he
is protected by the civil service law. But this
Is not ALL As soon as Mr.. Sharrer left the
Office of the Fire Marshal his son went into it
and thus Carroll county managed to pull of
two good places in single week. 1t is hoped
that all the members of the Sharrer family are
now provided for. The Deputy Sarveyorship
pays 81, 500 year and the clerkship in the
other office 81, 200. But nobody has heard OF
Baltimore county getting anything.

All just powers of government are derived
from the consent of the governed, says our
Declaration of Independence.
The Mckinley Administration WAS not in
vited to govern the Philippines. In fact the
people protested against our presence on
their territory and with force have tried to
drive away our soldiers.
Puerto Rico did not ask for annexation to
the United States. The Mckinley Admins
tration took forcible possession, which was
'scriminal aggression, and then proceeded
to treat the people Of the island as foreigners
by imposing a tariff upon her products.

Johns Hopkins University.

The John Hopkins University trustees are
still trying to get a state appropriation OF
$50, 900 year. In return for this the Uni
versity proposes to take thirty state students.
This is at the rate of 81 500 66s for each stu
dent. Every school board in the state is in
debt and if the state has money to expend for
education let it pay off the county school
debts Baltimore city alone seems to be in
terested in the appropriation to the Hopkins.
The city is full ofmillionaires who easily raise
500, 900 to debauch men to carry elections.
Let them now raise 500. 200 a year to help
the Hopkins, and do something to elevate

CLASS OF EIGHT NURSES
GRADUATE FROM ST. JOsEPH'S
HOSPITAL LAST EVENING.

St Joseph's hospital was aglow with
lights last evening, but the illumination
was scarcely adequate in itself to give
the interest which attached to the annual
graduation of young women who success
fully completed the trained nurse course.
To the contrary, Notwithstanding, the
presence Of nearly all the prominent ply
scians in town gave the event a distinc-
ton that only an assemblage of smiling
faced, jolly doctors could give to any
occasion.
The governing board and nearly the
complete staff of physicians were pres
ent as well as the sisters of st. Joseph,
and many patrons Of the institution. Eight
young women, attired in white, with tasty
lace caps, occupied seats in the reception
room, and directly opposite was Bishop
McGolrich, of Duluth, and other conspic-
uous members of the Catholic clergy.
Miss 'sMillie Pottgieser opened the pro-
gram with a vocal solo, 1.-The Holy City"
Dr. H. J. O'BrIen delivered a short ad-
dress to the graduates of a congratulatory
character, full of good cheer and good
wishes, interposing some little profess
sionaI advice.
Bishop McGolrick presented the diplo-
mas. Before doing so, however, he spoke
briefly to the graduates of their import
ant and frequently arduous duties. He
admorshed them to be brave and true
and not to lose sight of the Importance
of their station in life. He passed out a
few enconiums to the doctors, and said
some very well timed and complimentary
things to the young women. To each OF
the young women he handed diploma,
carefully rolled and tied with cream
white ribbon. With each parchment went
a bunch of carnations and the good will
of the ecclesiast.
The graduates are as follows: Misses
S. Gallagher, M. Lotus. L. Biebel s.
Downs, G. L. Merrill M. Beecher and j.
KeOgh.
Among the prominent physicians who
were present were Drs. E. ]. Abbott, w.
S. Bridges, c. e. Riggs, G. A. REM, d.
Lancaster, Kelly, G. E. Senkler, E. S.
Senklcr, ]. Ohage c. A. Wheaton, c. E.
Smith, J. B. Brimhall, and others.
Following the more formal part of the
program light refreshments were served.
