A Tempting Prohibition Bait.

1t has developed, according to
the Chicago Rec0Ya, that the Pro-
bibiJionists Of the United States
expect to 60 before the Demo-
cratic National Convention at
Kansas City, July 4, with a list Of
one million voters pledged to sup
port William J. Bryan il the Dem
ocratic party will adopt a prohibit
ton plank in It's platform. The
advocates Of this movement do not
expect the Democrats to favor such
a plank, but they believe and insist
that it will be the entering wedge
that will finally split one or the
other OF the two great parties and
build upon the ruins the tounda-
tion OF new party.
The plan of pledging 1000, 900
voters, who signed an agreement
to support no candidate who would
not stand hrmly to the prohibition
issue, originated with the Rams
Horn, a magazine which is recog-
nized as the mouthpiece Of prohi-
bition.
Many OF the delegates to the
National Prohibition Convention
at Chicago upon hearing Of the
action to be taken at Kansas City,
wanted to know why the meter
was not taken up with the Repub-
lican Convention at Philadelphia,
Inquiry, however, showed that the
list OF pledgers was not complete
at that time.

To Defeat MCKINLEY.

A National Liberty Congress,
composed OF delegates from all or
ganizations which oppose the I'm
perialisuc policy OF the Mckinley
Administration, will be held during
the first week in August in
Chicago or Cincinnati.
This was decided on at a confer
ence held in New York at the
Plaza Hotel. Men OF national
prominence in both parties were
in attendance.
Anything to beat Mckinley was
the cry Of those At the conference,
but they differed as to the best
method of accomplishing their de-
sired result, and the suggestion OF
a national congress, which would
bring the anti-imperialists Of the
country together to decide on
ways and means was unanimously
agreed upon.
Three methods Of action were
discussed at the conference, which
was held under the auspices OF
the American Anti Imperialistic
League. They we're:
I. The indorssment OF Bryan.
?. A League ticket on a League
platform.
g. By throwing the influence OF
the League IN favor Of Congress
sional nominees known to be anti
imperialists
"No price would be too much
to pay to defeat imperialism, SAID
Carl Schurz in the conference.

ment.

Are we at War with China2

A "high official" at Washington
is quoted as saying, we are not at
war with ChiDa."
If Mr.. Mckinley had not made
one war on his own initiative, with
out a particle OF authority from the
body in which the war making
power is vested by the Constitu-
ton, such a disclaimer would not
be deemed necessary. But with
$4,000 soldiers and Iorty FIVE
war vessels-a larger force than
the United States ever before mar
shalled against a foreign foe-now
and for some time past endeavor-
ing 20 complete the conquest oithe
Philippines by the Presidents sole

to lombard Chinese ports and the
ordering ola general and brigade
Of soldiers to Peking, the capital,
are naturally viewed with susptc-
ion. II this is not an act of war,
what would be7
American citizens in China are
certainly entitled to the protection
Of their Government. But if a war
is necessary to defend them Con-
gress alone has power to declare
it. To order a considerable mill
tary and naval force to China, in
ignorance OF the actual facts, and
to act IN conJunction with those
land grabbing empires, Great Brit
ian and Russia, is a stretch Of the
executive power that would have
startled the country a few years
ago. Has familiarity with Imper-
ialistic acts really deadened the
sensibilities of the American peo-
pie to rnvasions OF the Constitution
and the usurration OF authority by
the President7

gerous move made President Nc
Kinley without authority OF Con-
gress. and it may turn out to be
very costly and Improbable war
To the United States. We have no
interest in any war which seeks to
bring 4so, 900, 900 Chinese under
the yoke of England, Russia and
other European powers, and con-
slider the step taken by the Presl'
dent in ordering $500 additional
soldiers to China a grievous mis-
take, which will yet cost him dear
in American blood which will be
shed when we send our troops on
such a dangerous mission. We
won't permit the Chinese to land
in this country, yet we propose, II
we follow out McKiuleY's plan, to
annex a portion OF China with its
hated population. The excuse for
this war which the English cable
reports (the SENTINEL calls them
English because all the news has
TO come over the British cable
under British censorship have so
tar sent to America is the verIest
rot ever read bY any intelligent
person, nearly every one OF them
having been proven to be false.
Neither the German Minister nor
any other foreign ambassador has
been murdered. The whole thing
is nothing more or less than Brit
lsh lies from start to finish.
AS we show in another column,
Europe demands the partition oil
China, and whenever a nation de-
sires a pretext to 60 to war, it 9en-
orally finds it. The President
(God save the markD is working
hand in hand with England, and
since that nation cannot, on &C
count of its unjust war IN South
Africa, manage the whole affair as
she would like, she is using the
American Administration (Amer-
lcan in mare only) to pull her
chestnuts out OF the fire. The
army and navy have been sent to
China. Ii they encounter the mil
lions and millions Of Mongolans,
drilled by German and Russian
officers since the Japanese war, and
are defeated, what then9 Why
more troops will have to be sent
and more of our boys will have to
be sacrificed, and we will find that
the war will cost more in blood
and treasure than any the Ameri-
can nation has ever undertaken.
Then will come the question Of
increased taxation, and our friends
the brewers will have another
chance to demonstrate how patri.
otic they are by quietly submitting
to the increased taxation.

within the bounds of reason to predict

vote, and each day sees 1t latter

Republicans. The Mckinley vote
is becoming decisivelY lean ano

cause Of the bleeding it receives tc

the anti-McKinley contingent.
These last will vote tor Bryan in
voting against Mckinley. It's no.
that they love Bryan more, but
Mckinley less. These anti Nc
Kinleyites hate and fear the pres
ent Administration to a degree not
dreamed OF by any normal Demo
crat. The Germans, French, Aus
trians and Italians turn from Nc
KinleY because OF militarism.
They are against an army, or an
army increase rather. They look
on it as the beginning OF what will
end in that system Of compulsory
enlistment in the army from which
they fed.
Thousands Of native Americans,
men OF best and purest American
stock, and who voted for McKin-
ley, are now his most acrid and de-
termined foes because Of imperial
ism. They regard our present an
tics in the Orient as little less than
treason to the very spirit OF Amer
lean institutions, as founded by the
fathers.
OF all issues, socalled, however,
it was plain that the subjects Of
trusts excited widest concern.
This was peculiarly true of young
men OF ambition and force.
"Why," as one man said to me,
"trusts in their last Legitimate ex-
preston shut the final door on
anything like Individual success,
The best that man can get out OF
it is to work all his life for wages.
1t, the trust system, sentences him

feature OF the trust system isn't
the elevation Of prices OF goods;
the worst feature OF trusts is that
they lower the standard Of man.
hood"
AS this man talked, so do nine
OF ten of the young men of New
York not born to ease and riches
feel. They are against trusts, and
they look on the Republican party
and Mckinley as the promoters
and champions OF trusts. For
which reason, avoiding Mckinley,
they will vote for Bryan.

2. L. Moran.

P. T. Moran is one OF the most
successful business men of Wash.
ington, d. c. BY his indomitable
energy and ability and by his tire.
less devotion to duty, he has won
a leading place amongst District
business men. He is one OF the
most representative Irishmen IN
the East and has worked his way
from the ranks OF the greatest and
strongest Irish organization in the
United States until he is now one
OF its national officers, He is a
iorceful and pleasing speaker and
his recent address at the Webster
Davis meeting, in which he lev
elled a torrent Of criticism at the
Mckinley Administra ion and for
which he was hlssed by the Office
holding clique who were present
Tor that purpose, was widely
quoted and tavorably criticised by
the prominent Democratic papers
OF the West. Mr.. Moran is a man
of courage, and this was never so
iorclblY demonstrated as at the
meeting in question. At every
thrust aimed at the Administra-
ton, the Kisses came thick and fast,
like an Aprilhailstorm, Mr.. Moran
stood, the centre Of all eyes, faced
the audience, braved the Kisses
and delivered his speech.
A representative ofthe SENTINEL
called on Mr.. Moran yesterday aud
asked his views as to the political
situation. Mr.. Moran said: Mr..
Bryan is the greatest and strongest
man before the American people
today. He is much stronger than
he was four years ago and his cleo
ton is absolutely assured. The
vacillating policy Of the Mckinley
Administration, its subserviency
tu the English Government and its
notorious favoritism to the crimi.
nal combinations OF wealth known
as trusts, have alienated the sup
port Of the working people. If
wise counsels prevail at Kansas
City and a suitable candidate tor
Vice President is chosen, the bat
tie is won in advance.
When asked what he thought Of
the candidacy of VIM. Sulzer, Of
New York, and John J, Lentz, Of
Ohio, Mr.. Moran said that both
were strong men and IN the last
session Of Congress had done mu-h
to endear themselves to the great
mass of the American people and
especially in their opposition to
the pro-English and Imperialistic
tendencies Of the Administration
to the entire Irish American pop
ulation of the United States.
Mr.. Moran wields an influence
possessed by very few. The office
of his -four and feed store on NJ
Street is the resort OF many prom
inent politicians Of the District, OF
Virginia and Maryland and the
leading spirits OF the Irish Ameri-
cans of the District. II iorciblY
