London, Oct, Cit is reported in
st, Petersburg, according to the cor
respondent of the Times at the Rus
sian capital, that the Chinese ileet
in Formosa strait attempted to en-
gage the Russian armored cruiser
Rurik, but the latter's speed frus-
trated the plan. The correspondent
says it is probable that the allied
squadrons will force the Chinese fleet
to capitulate or will destroy it.
Shanghai kilograms announce that
the imperial edict, dated September
30, ordering the court to be removed
TO 81 Gnan Flu, was issued owing TO

of the recent edicts regarding the deg

BEcKERiNxTUM THOUGHTS.

Major Becker, formerly of Wyoming,
but now of the Billings Gazette. via the
Indian agency and it's perquisities, de-
nies that he is anxious to charge silver
republicans an admission fee into the
parent party. He says:
The only condition that We would make
upon the acceptance of the Bryan advO-
Gates of 1896 is that they cease all the
silly chatter about that silver "con-
science" campaign of four years ago.
In other words, the unepeauletted ma
jor of the red reserves would exact from
silver republicans a statement to the
effect that they did not act conscien-
tiously in 1896, but were governed by dis
honest motives, as the price of their well
come to the fold! He is willing to ex-

force, and annexed "A. 6Ss, 900 acres. with
consent OF the governed" This policy
was repeated in 1s4S when California
and contiguous territory, embracing 334,-
443.52O acres. with their inha hahitants,
were seized as the legitimate prey of the
United States. without the consent of
the governed" AS late as 1868 the demo-
Gratis ''cabbaged" %, 142 400 acres of land

leo. without the consent of the gov
erned.' Finally, in 1860. on the verge of
our civil war. the democratic party de-
manded the seizure of Cuba by the gov
ernment without the consent of the
governed"
With such a record as expansionists,
rulingthe inhabitants of acquired terri
tory without their consent, and without
any respect for inherent rights of rep
resentation." by what rigfis does that
party now hurl the charge of imperial
ism" against the republican administra-
ton? The standing armies necessary in
the days gone by to subdue the territory
seized by the democratic party. and re-
press it's rebelious inhabitants. were
larger. in proportion to the voting and
tax-paying strength OF the nation, than
they are today. Yet We are told that
our standing army indicates the imper-
ialistic tendency of the republican party!
With a standing army relatively no
greater than that sustained by the demo-
cratic administrations of the past, with
an expansion policy which merely emu
lates the examples set and with no de-
Walton from the republican form of gov
ernment that has characterized the
growth and progress of the nation. the
cry of imperialism becomes stencil
in the nostrils of decency-poitical linn
burger a a banquet of intelligent ideas.
One difference between democratic ex-
pansion ,as exemplified in the past, and
republican expansion, as witnessed in
the present, is that the former was in
vted by our nation, while the latter is
the unavoidable sequence of war with
a foreign power and was made necessary
by the trend of events.

THE COMPROMISE.

If the advices from Washington rela-
tive to the compromise in the Clark case
be authentic, the bitterly fought contest
has finally ended in a partial victory
for the retiring senator.
1t is claimed that under the conditions
of the compromise the credentials of
neither Clark nor Maginnis will be
pressed and that the report of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections will be
dropped without further action
The effect Of this will be to protect
Senator Clark from any official action on
the part of the senate that would reflect
upon the validity of his election by the
sixth legislative assembly.
1t will also prevent his enemies from
filling the vacancy occasioned by his
resignation.
In a campaign for vindication these
two points will be of no little value to
Mr.. Clark, inasmuch as his enemies have
failed in their purpose to expel him from
the senate, that body having refused to
entertain any proposition looking to that
end.
The report Of the committee becomes
nothing more than the argument which
a lawyer might present to jury, with
out any affirmative action to follow.
1t amounts to no more, practically
speaking, than the editorial charges
which have adorned the Anaconda
Standard for the past eighteen months
expressions of belief without official
| confirmation.
In blocking an appointment to fill the
vacancy caused by his resignation, Mr..
Clark removes from his political path
way a senatorial candidate with a
claim upon his party
AS a senatorial candidate he now
stands precisely where he did when the
campaign of 1898 opened up, insofar as
political prestige is concerned
The charges then made against him
have been repeated before a senatorial
committee which is willing to withdraw
it's adverse report, and are, therefore, of
no more official weight than had they not
been made
This is the practical side of the situa-
tion and must be construed as a partial
victory, to say the least, over his demo-
cratic enemies, and one which leaves
him where he can still be a powerful no.
! litical factor within his own party.

WHAT IS IAxPERiALiSM1

Columns of pointless abuse of the re-
publican party have appeared in the
democratic press, and solemn accusations
have been marshaled in platform array,
vet no effort has as yet been made to
specifically define what is meant by the
charge of imperialism" In the ordn-
airy meaning of the word, ''imperialism'
would imply that which pertains to an
imperial form of government, and doubt
less this is the impression which the
democratic party is seeking to create in
the minds of the people. When the
friends of General Grant were advocat-
ing that distinguished American for
third term in the white house-long be-
fore Cleveland was slated for a third
nolnination-the democrats raised the
cry of imperialism" and tried to show
that our republic had reached the ragged
edge of the demnition bowwows and was
courting national ruin at a break-neck
pace! 1t was not shown at that time,
however, that there had been anything
IN legislation, or in the administrative
or judicial branches of the republic
which pointed even remotely to a change
in the form of our government, The crv
was demagogical one from it's incep-
tion, regardless of questions of general
public policy which might have been in

Ing president in office for a third term,
Today the democratic talk about i'm
leiialism" is as devoid of any foundation
in fact as it was when General Grant
instead of the Philippines-was the bour-
bon bugaboo. There is not at the pres
cnt time any departure from a republi-
can form of government, nor is there
anything in the political horoscope to in
dieate such purpose on the part of any
political organization in the land. Boiled
down to something in the nature of n
LOCUS the democratic cry of imperial
ism is based solely on the fact that the
republican administration is TODAY fol-
lowing precedents established bv the
democratic party in years gone by and
steadfastly maintained by that orga MIA
alon While in power. Every criticism
urged against the republican party, on
account of a policy of expansion which
the conditions of war forced upon the
nation, applies with far greater force to
the fathers Of the democracy, and to the
system of acquiring territory without
the consent of the governed" which has
always characterized the history of that
party. Look at the record:
In 1903 the democratic administration
made the Louisiana purchase of 5s5, 1866
Oso acres, without the consent of the
governed" in 1905 it absorbed Oregon
and adjacent territory, covering 1874. .76o,-
$50 acres. without the consent of the
governed" in 1914 the democrats can
tured Florida and adjacent territory. bv

tend the right hand of fellowship to a
man who win acknowledge that he was
politically direputable and dishonest in
| 1895: but he would turn the cold shoulder
to the one who insisted that he was gov
erned by the dictates of his own consci-

1t is clear that the major wants to be
