THE IMPERIAL POLICY.

In his address before the Republican
State Convention at Charleston Sena-
tor Elkins said:
1--WE are out to conquer the world and
to take the islands of the sea. We will
give freedom to those who are ready to
govern themselves, and others we will
govern as we have done the Indians for
u hundred years"
If this isn't declaration of straight
Imperialism we would like to know the
proper term. He says in so many
words that the Republican party, if
maintained in power, will continue a
policy of conquest and spoils, of sub
jugation and war. ofoppression and tyr
amy, and he puts no limit whatever up
on the policy. We are out to conquest
the world" There you have in in
black and white, from the lips of the
big Republican boss of the State of
West Virginia, and with Mark Hanna
the advisor of President Mckinley.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The smoothest bit of work during the
convention was the fooling of John Frew
by Elkins. Frew is the father-in-law OF
Jim Hall and principal owner of the
Wheeling Intelligencer. Both he and Hall
had been led to believe that Elkins looked
with favor on Halls candidacy, in spite
of the fact that almost every one else
knew better. But so many rumors reach
ed them the night before the nomination
was made for Auditor that Ellxins was
backing Scherr that they were forced to
take cognizance of them. Frew went late
that night to Elkins' room and gave him
a good square talk, telling hin, of the
stories in circulation and wanting to
know where Elkins stood in the matter.
What Elkins said is not known, but Frew
went back to Hall and said it was all
right E,Ikins was for him. The result is
known, and no one knows better than
John Frew how badly he was deceived
by Elkins.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
THE CRIME OLE AGES.

The news from China this morning
confirms the worst anticipations of the
civilized nations of the earth.
There is no longer room for doubt
that all the legationers and the con-
sular guards and the meager relief
force pushed on to Pekin at the out
break of the trouble have been done
to death at the hands of the fanatical
Boxers and their accomplices, the Chi
neses regular soidiery.
This doubtless occurred soon after
the Fourth Of July, probably on the
9Th or 7th-certainly not later than the
10th.
Men, women and children, Ministers,
secretaries, attaches, officers and SOL
missionaries, their wives and
farsilies-native Christians by the hun
bred and thousand-all We're involved
in the common massacre beyond a
doubt.
At Tien Tsin the situation appears
to approach the desperate. The little
army of allies there can not hold out
forever against the hordes who are
surrounding the soldiers of the ma
tons. Relief for this force must come
speedily, or the world will be again
shocked by another tragedy as great
as that which now dazes the nations
Of the earth. There must be an awak-
sning to realization of the exigencies
If the situation, and a speedy one, at
hat. The time for international jeal-
,usies and red tape and chickering's has
gone by, and the hour for energetic
'ction has come.

SOME STREET RAILWAY FACTS.

The St. Louis street car strike, once
supposed to be settled, has broken out
in a fresh place. and the trouble prom
Uses to continue indefinitely. The
Company is losing money hand over
fist, so are the strikers; but the inno-
cent public is being hurt worst of all,
for scores of thousands are being dis
commoded every day, as they have
been for months past.
The conviction is decidedly growing
that the only solution of this street
railway matter is municipal owner
ship. 1t is not a new experiment, and
wherever tried it has worked we'll In
England it has become the settled poll
icy to retire private traction corpora
tons and have the cars run by the
cities. Why not? A city can provide
transportation as easily as it can pro-
vide water or gas, or electric lights, or
good streets. or police and fire protec-
ton. There is really no distinction.
1t is public service, which the public
can maintain for the public benefit and
for the public gain.

ago the city took charge of the street

young men have been wounded, or brok
en- down in health, and tens of millions
of dollars have been expended aside
from the original twenty millions paid
to Spain for this bad bargain. We
have more than sixty thousand men in
the islands, and although the war has
dragged over a year and a half it is
by no means over, and the need for
troops is so great that it is authorita-
lively announced that no more men
can be spared for service in China. We

ages and aborigines, who, according to
Republican ideas and the policy of that
party, we are to govern, civilize, and,

tried for three hundred years to do
something in that direction. She spent
hundreds of millions of dollars and
sacrificed tens of thousands of lives;
the best efforts of her ablest men
through generation after generation
was given to the task, and the result
was scarcely apparent Yet we have
assayed the task, and paid $20,0O0,000

BALD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A. B. White, of Wood county, the Re-
publican nominee for the high Office Of
Governor of West Virginia in his adj
dress before the body which selected
him at Carleston, sounded what may
fairly be presumed to be the keynote
of his campaign. 1t was false note
fiat, very fat
Discussing one thing and another Mr..
White finally reached the defenseless,
depicable and dishonest methods en-
ployed by the Republican managers in
the last Legislature to secure ma
, jOrity, that they might choose an Unit
ed States Senator, and attempted to
| justify the unseating of Senator Kidd
| by claiming that his case was identical
with that of Brohard in the House OF
| Delegates.
The fact is, as Mr. White well knows,
and as the people of West Virginia,
| regardless of party, know, there was
no similarity in the two cases. SEN
! ator Kidd appeared in the Senate cham
| Der with a certificate of election, duly
made out and signed That certificate
gave him right to a seat He was
elected on the face of the returns, and
the recount was a benefit to him. He
was as much entitled to deliberate in
the proceedings of the upper House
as any Senator who ever stood upon
It's floor.
On the other hand Delegate Bro
| hard never had a certificate and had
no prima facie right to a seat, but he
was placed on the roll 10y the Secretary
| OF State, ex parte and on partisan
grounds, and he was properly dismiss
ed by the Democrats, thus placing him
| equal with Mr.. Dent.
Mr.. White would do well to change
lbs tune and keep within the facts dur
! ing the campaign. The people of the
State are well informed upon this par
! tlcular matter, as well as others.

sixty-five thousand armed men. ''to

cd that sixteen thousand natives of

villages laid waste, and the crops de-
stroyed, scores of thousands have be-
come fugitives, and great tracts of
