Colonies" Not Contemplated
by Our Constitution.

1t was never questioned until Nc
Kinley became president that Congress
had no right to govern dependent ma
tions or territories not expected to be-
come states. A contrary belief has Civ
en- rise to the issue of imperialism. Note
the language of some of the earlier con-
structionists Of our constitution in op-
position to the prevailing imperialisuc
views:
Arbitrary governments may have
territories and distant possessions, be-
cause arbitrary governments may rule
them by different laws and different
systems. We can do no such thing.
They must be Of us, part of us, or else
strangers. think see a course adopt
ed which is likely to turn the constitu-
ton Of the land into a deformed mon
ster, into curse rather than blessing;
in fact, frame of an unequal govern
ment, not founded on popular represen-
tation, not founded On equality, but on
the grossest inequality; and l think
that this process Will go on, or that
there is danger that it will go on, until
this Union shall fall to pieces. I re-
sist it, to-day and always! Whoever
falters or whoever flies, l continue the
coutest!'-Daniel Webster, in the Unit
ed States Senate, March %, 1S4S.
William II. Stewards views were sim
liar to those Of Webster's. Said he:
1T is remarkable feature Of the
constitution Of the United States that
its trainers never contemplated colo
MES, or provinces or territories at all.
On the other hand, they contemplated
tat1 4,
perfect states, equal states-as they
are called here, sovereign states. ;"
There is reason-there issound political
wisdom in this provision of the consti-
tuition excluding colonies, which are al
ways subject to oppression, and eX-
cluding provinces, which always tend
to corrupt and ultimately break down
the parent state."-Seward's Works,
Vol. l., p. 122.
by the constitution Of the United
States, there are no subjects. Every
citizen Of any one state Is free and
equal citizen of the United States.
Again, by the constitution of the Unit
ed States, there are no permanent prov
inces or dependencies" - Stewards
Works, Vol. ~, p. 167.
In the case of Fleming VS.. Page, the
Supreme Court of the United States
laid down this doctrine:
'1he genius and character Of our in
stitutions are peaceful, and the power
to declare war was not conferred upon
Congress for the purposes of aggres-
sion or ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but to enable
the government to vindicate by arms,
If it should be necessary, its own rights
and the rights of its citizens. A war,
therefore, declared by Congress, can
never be presumed to be waged for the
purpose of conquest or the acquisition
Of territory; nor does the law declaring
the war imply an authority to the
President to enlarge the limits of the
United States by subjugating the enc
my's country"

BRYAN PROVEN TO HAVE BEEN RIGHT.

In 1896 Mr. BryanS main issue before the people
the larger volume of money for the transaction
of the governments business This money have
its basis silver and gold.
Mr. Bryan was defeated this proposition Presum-
ably ority people believed his doctrine aacous
Under the Mckinley administration the use of silver
standard was discontinued This left only gold bear

In the funess of the Mckinley administration dis
Bryan said it would.
This circulating medium supplied, and the Repub
lcan administration has taken much credit therefor But
whence the of supply?
From the national banks,
The national note which draws interest replac
ing the government greenback which non-ineres bear
ing.
The method is plain. The bank takes the greenback
the and in lieu thereof is allowed
full These bonds bear interest and thus
is placed in the fool role OF paying toll for the
privilege of indorsing it's paper.
This is the manner in which the Republicans have en-
arged the volume of money The national bank
value that the government
by its bonds and then makes the banks gift of the
interest The geenbacks superior in that they
full legal qualities and carry interest Yet they
are being retired rapidly banks gobbe them
up.
Republican administration has proven two things:
First Bryan the Democratic party right in
1896 when they stood for larger supply Second
Republican administration has taken advantage of
that evdent and eagued Itself with the banks

Goudy and Labor.

When the war of the organized labor
Of the great gold camp against the ag-
gressions Of capital, commonly known
as the Bull Hill war, was over, several
Of the leaders of the Miners Union
were under arrest and were at Colorado
Springs awaiting trial for alleged acts
Of violence. Ell Paso county had dis
trfct attorney at that time and he had
his assistants, but this did not please
the operators who decided to railroad
the members of the Miners Union to
the penitentiary, and they proceeded
to import special attorney, one who
would not have even the amount Of
leaning toward the miners as had
the local prosecutor to see to 1t that
the leaders of the miners were sent to
the penitentiary.
That special prosecutor, or persecu-
tor, was Frank G. Goudy.
We have no kick coming when law
yer tries to earn his retainer by all hon
est means That is what he is on earth
for, but when he goes out Of his way
to manufacture evidence or to appeal
to a prejudice which had no place In
his case, we have right to remember
the lawyer who so disgraces his pro-
fession and violates justice.
Frank C. Goudy did both Of these
damnable things.
During that memorable trial this man
Goudy went so far out of his way as to
make use of the following infamous re-
mark:
81 believe that these men can be con-
victed upon the evidence, but even
though there was not one scintilla OF
evidence, would find them guilty up
on the showing that they were men,
bers of the Miners Union, and would
send them to the penitentiary.
Workers of the great gold camp,
members of organized labor, what do
you think of this man Goudy, any
way?-Victor Times.

Last week Senator Wolcott caused to be circu-
lated letter, signed by himself, which purported to
explain the provisions of his Baca land bill.
1t did not explain. True to his nature, the SEN
ator seeks to excul pate himself at the expense OF
another. He says Judge Northcutt seduced him.
Judge Northcutt seeks reelection in the Third Ju-
dicia district. The voters of that district will re-
member that Judge Northcutt in league with
Wolcott to steal county, and attend to his case.
The voters of the state at large will look after VOL
colt, the chief c6nspirator
1t is the purpose of this article to explain certain
provisions in the Wolcott bill which the senator and
his accessory Judge Northcutt failed to touch upon

be taken up seriatum:

that only actual resident landowners of Baca coun-

keep in constant touch with the legislation of Con
gress? If not he would find himself bereft of his
preferred RIGHTS whatever they mioht be worth

1t may be noted here that the appraisers are by
this section only estopped from PERSONAL bid
ding. They may have representatives acting for
them at the sale or in fact be stockholders Of the
land-grabbing concern itself They merely attest
that they have no interest in the lands to be ap-
praised. Being government lands, this, of course,
is a natural conclusion.

Blarney Castle, celebrated in
song and story. tits not much
of a ruin, and it does not figure
to any great extent in history,
deriving its chief interest from
the famous Blarney Stone.
80, did you ne'er hear of the
Blarney,
That's found near the banks of
the Killarney?
Believe it from me
No girls heart is free
Once she hears the sweet
sound of the Blarney.
For the Blarney's so great a
deceiver,
That a girl thinks you're there,
though you leave her;
And never finds out
All the tricks you're about,
Till she's quite gone herself
with your Blarney.
Samuel Lover wrote thus, and
we saw a tablet today, in st,
Patrick's Cathedral, in this city,
to the memory of Lover. That
fact, however, does not add to or
detract from the merits of the
Blarney Stone, and the young
gentlemen in our party, not to
leave any stone unturned-ln
this case unkissod-that prom
ised aid in any emergency invol-
wing the affections, promptly
kissed the Blarney, thereby in
viting no end of microbic disas-
ter, since the Blarney is kissed
every day, at this season, by
men Of all ages and from all
parts of the world. For my part,
with seven pretty girls in the
party, | think | could have done
better, were l a young man. |
should have said that the drive
from Cork to Blarney Castle is
one of the finest ever saw. The
road lies along the margin of the
hills, with the river Lee, or
rather one of the arms of that
river, to the left, and winds
through as picturesque a valley
as there is in all Ireland. In the
suburbs OF Cork there are many
handsome homes, located high
on a terrace that looks out over
the harbor, and farther out there
are caretaker's lodges, at the en-
frances Of ancestral estates, and
carefully kept hedgerows of haw-
thorne and avenues of lime trees
overhanging the roadway, and
still farther from the city the in
evitable PEASANTS cottage, with
its whitewashed walls, its thatch
roof, its lazy pig its patient
looking COW, its frowzy-headed
children, its dozen or more chick
ems, its pile of turf blocks. 1t
was along this drive that | first
began to get an insight into the
life of the Irish agriculturist.
While waiting at the Blarney
station for the killarney train |
made the discovery that all rail-
road trains pass each other to
the left, that the engineer sits
upon the left side of the cab,
that the guard couples and un-
couples cars by the aid of a long
pole with a hook on the end Of it
never venturing between the
cars at all-that nine -tenths Of
the freight trains run only at
night.
From Ross Castle to Killarney,
q short drive, we passed the
| pheasant preserves and breeding
grounds Of the earl Of Kenmare,
and drove over a beautiful road
upon which the sun never shines,
because Of the dense shade OF
