Against Imperialism.

The republican majority in the house have undertaken to impose upon trade between Porto Rico and the United States 15 per cent. of the regular sched- ules of the Dingley tariff, and all the people from all parts of the country and of all shades of political opinion have let out a roar such as has prob ably never been heard before in opposi- tion to any legislation since the re- construction period. Now, what does this mean? Does it mean that the peo- pie are indifferent to the rights and in- terests of their new possessions? Does it mean that imperialism" which sig nifies the exploiting of a people that has come under our authority, is to be indorsed or supported by the peo- pie of this country? Not by a long shot. On the contrary, it is conclusive evidence that imperialism" is impos- sible, and more clearly than ever q bogey set up to scare timid people by certain political leaders, who have no better claim upon the indorsement of the public. It is conclusive evidence that it would be fatal to the chances of any political party to attsmpt to util- ize or. employ the people of the new territories for the benefit of any num- Der of people or any set of interests in this country. It is conclusive evidence that whatever party, republican or democratic, has control of congress or of the executive power, must use its power generously, justly and wisely with respect to these possessions over which our national authority has re- gently been extended.-Minneapo Journal (Rep.).

MckfnIey's PitinbIe Plight.

No one can read the press reports of the proceedings of the republican conference at Washington on the sub- ject of the proposed Porto Rico tariff without sense of pity. Rarely has so abject a spectacle been presented by q national administration as that which has just been witnessed. And if there be one feature of the strange occasion more worthy of contempt than an- other it is that furnished by President Mckinley. The shifty, evasive, insin- cere and indecisive character of the man is there revealed. How complete tool must such a man be in the hands of the interruptions cabal who all but publicly avow their ownership of him. Taking stand at the outset which won the public approval, and among many evoked admiration, his appearance before that conference is that of political coward who feels that he is unworthy of trust by his friends or of serious hostility by his opponents.-St. Paul Globe.

The brazen attitude of the pro- tectedintereststo toward the Porto Rican and Hawaiian bills indicate such dis regard, even contempt, for the public's opinion or welfare that a strong reac- tion is sure to follow. They may feel that by keeping the republican party under financial obligations to them they can safely defy the people at large. But the republicans may throw off this obligation, or, if they don't. the people may throw them out of power.-IndianapoI Press.

While imperialism, trust aggres- sion and a violation of the consti- tuition will cause a large and re- spectable segment of the repub- lican organization to refrain from supporting the dominant faction of that party led by Hanna and Mckinley, there is no likelihood what ever of schism or division in the demo- cratic ranks. While the democrats who wandered away are coming back, there is no diminution of the allied forces of populists and silver republicans. This is a democratic year.-Kansas City Times.

Thus was a grievous blunder com mitted. How grievous and fraught with dire possibilities, not only to the republican party but to the country neither congress nor the president could have fereseen. But they must realize now that the tariff section in the Porto Rico bill has aroused a storm throughout the country that will not down. If congress and the president persist in their present course nothing can save the republic an party from defeat next November It will surely cost them the house of representatives and it may cost them the presidency.-Chicago Times-Her- aid.
