debates in the English parliament at
that time needs only the alteration OF
the proper names of the participants
to have been taken verbatim from the
Congressional Record of last winter.
In November, 1777, the marquis OF
CRANKY moved in the British parlia-
ment an amendment to the crown adj
dress "to request his majesty to adopt
some measures for accommodating the
differences with America and recon-
mending a cessation of all hostilities
as necessary for the calculating Of so
desirable purpose.
In the debate on this amendment
the friends of the government
took the ground ''that, indepen-
dent of arms, there was every
reason for hoping that the troubles ia
America would be brought to happy
conclusion; that the great bounties
which the congress offered to soldiers
was an irrefragible proof of the diff
culties which they experienced in en-
deavoring to recruit their forces; that
the hardship which the people act
ually suffered at present under the
despotism of their tyrants, compared
with that mild and happy government
which they had withdrawn themselves
from. and under which they had risen
to such q degree of power and great
ness, had already nearly brought
them to a sense of their error and
would soon make them sick of their
rebellion. That the proposed amend
ment, if carried. would only tend to
revive and keep up that wild spirit
of independence by which the people
had so long been hurried away from
the right use or application of their
reason; and that they could not,
therefore, but consider themselves as
enemies to their country were they
not to stamp a direct negative upon
the amendment. "-English Annual
Register.
In 125 years imperialism has found
no new arguments or reasons for JUS
tifying itself. Liberty anywhere is a
menace to despotism everywhere.
Hence the necessity the Hanna adj
ministration feels to crush out that
wild spirit of independence" in the
Philippines.

Rico since the Is per cent compromise
with plain duty. 1t seems to have
been considered that if this bank were
also given the circulation privilege
Porto Rico might appear to be recog-
nized as full territory of the United
States. Something has to be held
back in all matters concerning the
island for the sake of consistency in
the presidents policy. It's good deal
like the early question of the tax on
the tea, that Brother Jonathan first
complained about.

COERCION, CORRUPTION. COLOMBIA.
TON.

There are republican clubs, and re-
publican clubs. but the three big re-
publican clubs that are being used
most energetically to defeat the will
of the people in the present campaign,
are coercion, corruption and colonial
ton. ELECTION day is little over a
week distant. The voters will elect
Bryan with an overwhelming MAORI
ty-if they are allowed to vote their
convictions and have the votes honest
| lv counted. Coercion is being used
more quietly than in go and less eff
fectivejy, but with quite as much de-
Termination to force wage workers to
vote for Mckinley. The repu blicans
know very well that the great indus
trial vote is for Bryan. Even the I'M
skilled wage worker who belongs to
no union can understand that trust
domination means slavery for him
when he finds his wages cut that the
trust may declare great dividends.
He objects to paying trust prices for
the necessaries of life while his wages
are lower than in go. No laborer is
so ignorant that he cannot take home
to himself the lesson of the anthracite
miners, starved into rebellion by the
coal com bine. The repu blican party
has made it entirely clear thatit is the
friend and ally and representative of
trusts. Logically, then, it is against
the wage worker.
Organized labor sees its very exis-
tence menaced by the trusts. The
iron molders of Cleveland, the build
ing trades of Chicago, the cigarmak-
kers of New York, the street railway
employees of ST. Louis. the ircn and
steel workers of Ohio and Illinois, the
coal miners of Pennsylvania and q
score of other industries are waking
to the realization that the first and
foremost of their enemies are the
trusts and com bines.
The systematic coercion began early
this year. The alleged amendments to
the constitution and to the Sherman
law, fathered by the republican party,
were dictated by the trusts for the
sole purpose of declaring labor unions
unlawful com binations and thus pro-
viding means to crush them. Neither
of these amendments was intended
to restrain trusts in the slightest de-
gree.
The democrats championed the
cause of organized labor in congress |
and defeated the constitutional amend !
ment when the republicans refused to |
exempt labor unions from its opera
ton. When the democrats forced the |

OUTSIDE of the banking interests
the people OF Chicago are complain
ing about the enforced holiday that
they are experiencing today, and
questioning the legality of any
but the constituted authorities declar-
ing holiday and forcing a suspen-
sion of business. Do not the people
of Chicago know that Mark Hanna
declared today holiday there-and
is not Mark the president of the
United States at the present time?
What higher authority do they want,
for PHYS sake?

qualifications to participate in the

Chinese have been admitted on the
ground that they were born in this
state, which fact, ~being admitted,
entities them to the rights of citi-
zenship.
Charges are made that this influx

by fraudulent evasions of the re-

ATokA's INJUNCTION SUIT.
To Prevent the Commission From
Selling Vacant Lots.

On Saturday the citizens of Atoka
filed a petition in the United States
court at that place, praying for
writ of injunction against the
townsite commissioners for the
Choctaw nation, to prevent the
commission from selling the vacant
lots advertised for sale there on the
18th of this month, and also to
cancel the appraisement of the inn
proved property heretofore made
by the commission, and to eDjoin
the enforcement of the survey and
plat made by the townsite commits
sion.
This plat is interesting in several
respects. First, it involves the
right of the court to interfere with
the work of the townsIte commits
sioners; second, the secretary of
the interior has already approved
the survey and plat made by the
commission, and this plat has been
filed in the clerks Office in this
place, as required by the provisions
of the Atoka agreement; third.
the notices of appraisement were
served on March % and 80, and
the law provides that the owner of
improvements shall have sixty days
to purchase the improI ements at
the appraised value, and in the
event such owner refuses to pur-
chase at the appraised value. then
the townsite commissioners are re
quired to sell the property.
If the lawsuit should be pro-
lOnged and the citizens joining in
the petition refuse to buy their
property as appraised to them
within the sixty days, the title to
all such property will be in a very
doubtful condition.
No expression has been had from
the tOwnsite commissioners as to the
action that will be taken on their
part. There is no provision made
at the present time for the defense
of the tOwnsite commissioners.
In suit involving many of the
same points, Judge Clayton, for
that district, held he had no juris-
diction to interfere with the work
of the townsite commissioners, and
if he should adhere to his former
ruling and refuse the petition, then
an appeal will be taken to the
United States court of appeals for
the Indian Territory.
