v v tions ever experienced in
modern warfare, the Uni
ted States steamship Charleston. on
June 20, 1898, captured the beautiful
but isolated and sleepy old Spanish
island colony OF Guam in the western
Racific, the place was governed by
lNutenant-colonel of the Spanish army,
Don Juan Marina, supported by
staff of four army and one naval Off
GERS, and garrison of fifty-four
Spanish soldiers, with native militia
OF fifty-four men, these latter being
armed with old Remington rifles, and
organized as artillery crews for four
old brass field-guns.
Upor the departure OF the Charleston
the Spanish officers and soldiers were
removed, and the island was left NOM
inally in charge of its leading citizens
and the native soldiery.
During all this time the native troops
have maintained their organization
and discipline, keeping their clothes
and equipments clean and in order,
posting their sentries, and carrying
out their routine-all IN most praise
worthy manner. They are soldierly,
intelligent body OF men, and will un-
doubtedly be valuable auxiliary to
! the new marine garrison that has ar
rived on the United States steamship
Yosemite. Their best sphere of use
fulness would be as police force and
as rural guards in the outlying vii
lagos, thus relieving the marines of
this isolated and monotonous duty.
The natives of Guam are in pleasing
contrast to the Filipinos. Though
originally, in great part, from the
same stock, they have inherited all of
the virtues and few of the vices of
these people. There is in the blood
OF these people q considerable pro-
portion of Spanish, South Ameri-
can, I'd American stock, the last
being due to the whaling vessels
that used to frequent the islam in
large numbers to obtain fresh water
and to recuperate their crews. 1t is
not at all unusual to hear English
spoken, even in the interior of the
island, and. in fact, it is quite as
common as Spanish. In personal ap-
pearance the natives resemble the
Filipinos, though of q greater stature
and more robust, while the hair is not
so bristling and porcupine-like, and
brown or even blond hair is occa-
sional evidence OF the mixture OF
races. The intelligence, as indicated
by their faces, is much more marked
Ihan in the natives OF the Philippine 8.

imperialism aud the German Vote.
Secretary Dick, OF the Republi
san National Committee, is har-
assed by the tear that the Demo
Gratis may capture" the German
vote. Although the Democrats
have put forth no extraordinary
effort to induce citizens of German
birth to vote against Mckinley, we
can give several reasons why they
should do so.
Foreigners who leave their own
country to avoid militarism and
imperialism are not apt to re-
nouuce unreservedly their ideas
upon these questions when they
are confronted with the same prop
ositions in the country Of their
adoption.
If the German settlers in the
United States had favored mllitar-
ism and imperialism, they would
probably have remained ia the
Fatherland. where matters Of this
kind are reduced to a science.
Secretary Dick points with
pride" to the fact that we have less
than one soldier per thousand Of
our population, while Germany has

should not point merely at what

at what McKInley's imperialism

in the future, when the country is
called upon to support vast armies.
We are standing guard over
Cuba with one army; we are fight
ing in the Philippines with another,
and we are rushing into an armed
conflict in China, behind the veil
Of which there are vast armies,

citizens.

Expansion vs.. Madness.

The term expansion in the
American mind is associated with
the acquisition oflands upon which
to erect American homes and build
new commonwealths.
Expansion in the American
mind has never been associated
with the conquest oi foreign peo
plies, or foreign I, rritorY. On the
contrary, the American policy has
been one of exclrsiveness and in.
ternal development. This policy
has been consistent with our theory
Of government and its correctness
is proven by our marvellous de.
velopment during the past century.
The use of the term expansion
to cover departure from Ameri-
can principles is a vicious perver.
sion OF the term for the purpose oi
deception. Itisan effort to appro-
pirate a term associated in the
a american mind with the multipli.
cation Of American homes and
commonwealths to cover a policy
that is un. American and the re-
verse OF every suggestion that the
term expansion awakens in the
American mind.
The army and navy OF the United
States are not in the Philippine
Islands conducting a murderous
war OF subjugation and conquest
against an unoffending people for
the purpose Of expansion. No
American entertains the idea that
American homes could be estab-
lished upon those islands even
were the natives extermInated
as the climatic conditions make
this impossible. The real purpose
OF the Administration in conduct
ing this unholY war is to establish
the military power Of the United
States at a convenient distance
from China so that it can be used
in conjunction with that Of Great
Britain to bluff Russia and the
other European po Wers while con-
cessions are wrung from the Chin.
ese Government to build railroads
and erect factories throughout the
Celestial Empire.
The lands OF the Orient are peo-
pied to the full extent Of their
power to sustain human Life by
population capable OF extracting
more sustenance from an acre Of
ground than any other in the
world. II expansion beyond the
present bounda ries Of the United
States for the purpose Of acquiring
lands upon which to build happy
homes was desired the Orient is
not the portion Of the earth in
which to seek them. There is yet
room within our present limits
for expansion and growth in popu-
lation and wealth tor more than a
century to come.
When it is remembered that the
Chinese alone equal theS entire
white race in numbers, is it not the
part Of prudence to follow a while
longer in the path marked out by
the fathers oi the republic rather
than INVADE China with railroads
and also labor saving machinery
which can have no other result
than to make China the workshop
oil the world, which with its teem-
ing millions who are trained to
subsist on one tenth OF that OF the
average European or American
lsborer, can seriously interrupt
not only the progress OF the United
States but endanger Western civil
ization.
