The impending Crisis.

We are in a crisis in the his
tory of the race, says ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld.
Shall the hand of toll be eman
cipated or shall it have new
shackles riveted upon it?
Shall the American millions
be free men or serfs?
Shall the government protect
the weak or be mere conve-
nience for the strong?
Shall justice uphold the right
or smile upon iniquity?
Shall liberty illumine the
earth or be slain in her own tenn
pie?
For many decades this coun-
try has been the greatest world
power on the globe; not through
her armies or her navies, or her
wealth, but through her moral
force; through high ideals, and
through the divinity of human
rights.
Shall she go on in this course,
lifting the hopes of all people
and Frightening the skies of all
nations, or shall she abdicate
her high position, get on to the
low plane of brute force, and
move along the barbaric road Of
tinsel, oppression, misery and
death?
These are some of the ques-
tions that confront our people.
Let them but clearly under
stand and there will be no doubt
about the issue.
My friends look up; this re-
public has not yet performed it's
mission.
It is not going to fall-Liber-
ty will not die-the human race
is about to move forward.
Something like industrial and
financial freedom will be estab-
lished.
Social and political reforms
will yet come.
While we cannot name the day
or the hour, yet the mighty
movement in which we are all
laboring is going to bring the
human race to higher plane.
The Almighty is cutting a road
through the forest and its COM
ing is scheduled on the calen-
dars of destiny.

Thecommittee on public lands,
to whom was referred the bill
for the preservation of the pre-
historic monuments, ruins and
objects on public lands, has re-
ported that there are situat ted
in Colorado, Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico, a large number of
monuments and cliff dwellings,
which are the work of prehis-
toric man. The bill proposes
to set apart and reserve from
sale, reservations containing
these monuments to the extent
of not to exceed 800 acres to
each reservation, and provides
that each reservation shall be
surveyed. It places these reser-
vations under the care of the
Secretary of the Interior. who
shall make rules and segulations
relative to the same. The vari-
GUS archae illogical societies
are very much interested in the
preservation of these ruins, and
the only practical way they can
be preserved is by creating res
erva tious of the land surround
ing each ruin, and providing a
penalty for any destruction of
the same.

Nineteen thousand mechanics
were recently on a strike IN
cities, reaching from New York
in the East to Helena and Den
yer in the West. Some were for
an increase of wages; others for
eight hours, and in some cases
for both. The increase in wages
is necessitated as result of war
taxes and advances in living
expenses resulting from trusts
and monopolies. The demand
for EIGHT hours is more than a
mere palliative (as many might
consider iD, because with the
increase of leisure comes more
disposition to thought and in
vestigation. Large numbers
cannot practically vote right be
cause they have neither the
time nor the strength to acquaint
themselves with the political
situation. It is gratifying to
note that in many Of the strikes
the requests of the workmen,
generally made in a conciliatory
spirit, were met in a like spirit
by employers.-Ex.

After six months of trial the
municipal pawnshop in Chicago
is pronounced a success by its
advocates. Not only dees it
yeald a fair return upon the in
vestment, but it is reaching ex-
actly the class of persons it was
intended to benefit, as shown by
the fact that d large number of
the loans are for small amounts.
The results have surpassed the
expectations of the state pawn

Hanna was Quay's Brutus.
The Philadelphia Times declares
that there were political and fl
nancial considera tions that led
to the overthrow of the Penn
sylvania boss by the leader of
McKinley's administration. The
100000 that Philadelphia was
to pay for the national conven-
ton has not all been raised.
Hanna found that the men in
Philadelphia who raised cash
for McKinley's campaigns were
opposing Quay. This doubtless
means Wanamaker and friends.
This is not the end of Quay's
troubles. Without the control
of federal patronage he is great
lv weakened in his contest for
the senatorship, and Mckinley
will not desert Hanna in his eff
forts to unhorse Qnay.

The United States Senate has
purged itself of Quay. The in

ported against the seating Of

to compass his election. There
is as much and as damaging tes-

committee against Hanna. Why
don't they bring his case up:

A Fulfilled Prophecy.

When William H. Seward said,
forty-seven years ago, that the
Pacific Ocean, its shores, its
islands and the vast regions be-
yond would become the chief
theatre of events in the worlds
great hereafter, nobody imagin-
ed that the fulfllment of the
prophecy was SO near. In 1850,
of the 5000 miles of railroad
track in the United States, only
eighty miles in Louisiana lay
west of the Mississippi. In 1852
the only States west of the Mis-
sissippi were Louisiana, Ar
kansas, Texas, missouri, Iowa
and California, the latter hav-
ing just entered the Union with
a population of a little over 90,-
900. The vast territory between
the Mississippi and the Pacific
was almost an unknown land.
California was a mere string OF
mining camps, San Francisco
was a rude frontier town. Ore
gon, Washington, and British
Columbia contained only a few
scattered settlements and trad
ing stations, from which furs
were about the only exports.
In 1850 and for years thereafter
California was an importer OF

A Philippine correspondent to
the New York Outlook says:
The pacification of the Philip
pines and the establishment of
civil government are not pro-
crossing in a very satisfactory
manner; in fact, less is being
accomplished here in the way of
public works, schools and an
effective government at present
than was being done three
months ago. General Otis has
admitted to me that the Hong
Kong and Manila juntas were
never more active than they are
today, With the exception of
a mere handful, too insignifi-
cant to be considered, every
in his heart is an insur
recto and wishes to drive the
Americans from the islands.
Even at ihe present moment the
so-called "pacified" provinces
are in bad state. AS [ have
already ventured to say in one
of my early letters, unless more
stringent measures are taken at
once, it will be a question of
years, not months, before peace
tul conditions obtain.

The situation in Colorado today is
quite different from the time when
we last placed McKinley's at the head
OF our columns. Then the industries
of the state were paralyzed, the peo-
pie idle and discouraged, but with .
strange fatality practically all looked
to the party which had brought this
curse upon the land for relief. For
tunately the rest of the country was
wiser, and after four years of increas-
ing prosperity, with our industries
thriving, our people busy and con-
tented, the majority has been con-
verted and looks to Mckinley for a
