the power OF an all pervading Ameri-

as IN name one people, inspired and
sBayed by the one lofty and resistless
purpose to do justice to all nations"
To this Gen Shaw responded: ave
understand each other now It was an
untold sacrifice to learn the lesson OF
the past and now let rs learn the lesson
Of unity"
For more than a third Of a century
the blue and the gray have been apart
in reunions, and this joint reunion Of
brothers is a spectacle worthy Of the
admiration and hearty approval Of all
men. To err is human, but to meet
in fellowship to clasp the hand IN
reconciliation Of one who bore the rife
for the cause he espOused, is divine.

democracy and Imperialism.

David starr Jordan IN New 1Ork " Orlo-J
There are four enemies that have
stood in the path Of man. These are
aristOcracy, militarism, slavery and ina
perialism. There are various other
enemies, but those are the four arch
enemies in the political sense. They
all sprung out Of the idea that man
belongs not to himself, but that be be-
longs, body and soul, to somebody or
something else which owns him. These
four enemies IN a dangerous Rsrb con-
front the United States to-day.
Schiller says that the tyrants reach
hands to each other-that they reach
to each other the hands. They stand
together now. These four stand to-
gether. Wherever there is one, the
other is. Aristocracy, slavery, milit-
arism and Imperialism. They reach
each others hand.
They all have their fair, attractive
side. They are defended sometimes at
the Preside. Slavery was discussed
and defended from many a pulpit in
New England. Aristocracy has its fair
side.
The foundation Of quality is aristO-
crazy, the foundation Of our own lib
erty is rebellion against 1.-THE very
thing We came here for.
There is q fair side Of slavery and
fair side Of miIitarism. How clean the
streets can be kept under military dis
cipline and how free from noise! How
easily people can be sent to bed at
dark, if it be desiredl
There is a fair side Of Imperialism.
You viii find that in many places nine
tenths Of the people believe it q good
thing for the world. Maybe it is, but
when We come to read history from the
one side to the other We viii find that
the British people have been debauch-
ed by their course in India and that
the Hindoos have been cursed. You
will find that the English people have
been turned from being a strong,
freedom-lOving people. You viii End

constant wars.
We know how Napoleon depopuiated
France by his wars. We know Of the
murders Of the nobility, the murders
Of the peasantry and the result in the
France Of to-day. In 1850, when the
Philippine question was burning one
in Spain, La Puente, an Augustinian
friar, expressed his opinion Of the
whole thing when he said: Against
the gain OF redeemed souls I place the
cost In the loss Of armsdas and Of sol
diers and Of friars sent to the Philip
pines, and these L count the chief loss
that while mines give silver and forests
give lumber, only Spain gives Span
iards, and she shall give 50 many Of
them that some day she shall be left
childless and forced to bring up
children, instead Of her
own

IN UNION Is STRENGTH.

All people who sincerely hope for
better things In government, both
state and national, desire to see the
mechanism Of the Fort Scott cOnyen-
ton work tremendously and present
a solid front for the success Of the
principles believed in. The delegates
Of all three Of the parties there assem-
bled want to see McKinleyism put
down and Organism set up, and by
uniting the reform forces Of Kansas
viii aid materially the cause Of ma
tiOnal politics
The Kansas City Times, the demo
cratic oracle Of this state, throws out
an urgent appeal for cooperation In
these words:
There is but one hope for the re-
pubIicans in Kansas this year-a
schism in the forces Of their OppOn-
ents. The republican leaders realize
this fully. They know that with any
thing like a united front the silver men
viii be invincibIe. Not since 1888 has
the republican party gained a single
electoral vote in Kansas. And now the
republican leaders are anxiously
watthing the proceedings at Fort Scott.
They feel as Wellington felt when he
prayed for Butcher or night at Water
loo.
at is a good time for all good Kan
sans who love the constitution and the
Americanism their fathers fought for
to stand together. 1t is a time to rise
above personal ambitions, to make
sacrifices if need be for the good Of the
common cause. It is a time to bear in
mind the maxim: Find out what the
enemy wants you to dO-and then don't
do it" The enemy wants the three
parties now assembled at Fort Scott
to fall out; to put two or three tickets
in the field; to divide their votes and
destroy themselves. The thing for the
delegates at Fort Scott to do is to re-
sOlutely refuse to do any Of these
things. In union there is strength, =
said the fathers. united we stand,
divided we fall" On this rock they
they laid the foundations of the re-
public. Every man Of the eriune forces
now gathered at Fort Scott should
read that motto to-day and Undue
himself thoroughly with its spirit.
THE enemy has no luck Of cunning.
His military chest is running over. He
VIII expend every energy to spread
distrust and SOW the seeds OF discOrds.
It is for the delegates and the candi-
dates at Fort Scott to stand together
and present an unbroken front. So
long as they are true to their cause
and their constituents, the enemy can
not prevail.
"But a house divided against itself
VIII fall"

ARE OFFICERS RECKLEss7
Gen NILES says Americans Are Not Need.
IessIy Eo-PIaess OF Colonel and Color
Rearer Danrerous.

Col Liseum's death while leading the
Ninth United States infantry in the
fight Of the allied forces at Tien Tsin
has led many to ask if our officers are
not needlessly RECKLESS while under fire.
Gen Miles, answering this question,
says: american officers are as brave
as any in the world. They rank as high
in valOr as the officers Of any European
government Neither in Cuba nor in
Porto Rico did they needlessly expose
themselves. Col Liscum met his death
at the head Of his regiment, and here I
might say that the war records will
show that the percentage Of colonies
killed In action is greater in proportion
to their number than those killed Of
any other grade.
"The cOlOneTs place is with his regi-
ment, and when it advances he geBer-
ally leads. 1t is his duty to discover
the position Of the enemy and to keep
his men in an advantageous position.
Officers are always q mark for the en-
envy and the duties Of a colonel natur-
ally expose him more or less. IN
mounted the colonel is at a disadvsn-
tage, as he cannot so readily review the
enemy's position nor so quickly cover
ground. Mounted he is more easily a
target for the sharpshoOters Of the
opposing force.
1.-THE colonel is generally to be found
with the cOlOrs in the center of the
regiment, the lieutenant colonel COM
handing the right wing and the senior
major the left. The regiment guides on
the colOrs. If they are advanced the
command moves forward. If they are
moved back the alignment is still kept
by a backward movement. Next to the
colonel the most dangerous position is
that Of color bearer, and I saw at the
battle Of Antietam u men successfully
killed as they one by one picked up
and carried on the colors."
The general was reminded of the
criticism of our officers at Santiago by
the German attache who watched the
operations of the Americans, who said
they were needlessly and wRntOnly
reckless. As to this the general asks
! If the German attache was an author
/ ity. He said be did not agree with him
and was of the opinion that the Ger
man was greatly mistaken.
Gen. Miles refused to discuss whether
or not the English officers, were reck-
less in their war in South Africa, say
ing be was not in a position to express
an opinion on that matter.

A good story is told Of 8 mailman
who was confined in a Scottish lunatie

roast beef and q good slice Of plum

daily with a dish Of oatmeal porridge.

If the statement attributed to ex-
President Cleveland be true, sent out
as an interview from New York this
week, that democrats should vote for
Mckinley or not at all, it shows very
cOncIusiveIy that the coming contest
in the arena Of politics is not a mere
contest for party supremacy. 1t is
more than that; it is the rich against
the poor, an aristocracy against demo
crazy. More and more viii it be found
that mOnied men with all the votes Of
the poor that they can influence viii
eventually merge into the republican
party, while the conscientious thinker
and every man who dare be a Daniel
viii constitute the democracy Of the
country. Then the internal strife of
party organization viii be done away,
for on one side viii be the OppressOr
and on the other the oppressed, both
putting forth their energies for the
mastery. The grand old party which
once stood for freedom has now become
a bastile whose sentries are feudal
lords Of material magnifcance and
power

- -. Towne,s Lincoln speeeh.

From Mr.. TONNES Lincoln Speech.
The man who sees in the campaign
Of 90 only an ordinary political contest
has little phiIosophic insight. That
campaign was the beginning Of a life
and death struggle between opposing
forces of a fundamental character.
There can be no truce or faltering
until victory shall have crowned the
one or the other.
Bryan has remained the uninjured
target Of the most INSCRIPTIONS criti-
cism and the undaunted leader Of an
unended contest; whose belief in the
people add faith in God, whose ability,
elOqUence, sincerity and courage have
enshrined him in the hearts and in
trenched him in the confidence Of mil
lions of his fellow cOuntrymen.
The principles Of bimetallism were
true in 1896 and they remain true in
1900.
While We can thus see how nearly
imminent this great money question
constantly is and must be until it is
settled right, yet it is perfectly clear to
me that it silI not claim anything like
that relative prominence in the discus
sions Of this campaign that it held
in SO.
If the citizens of this country at the
forthcoming election shall ratify and
confirm the presumptuOus stretches Of
authority that have characterized the
conduct Of this administration then
We shall not be in danger Of establish
ing an empire; empire viii have been
already established.

most dangerous that has arisen since
the heresy Of secession, and it must be
fought as vigorously as the heresy Of
secession. IF we admit as citizens any
number Of millions Of people that are
not ready for liberty, if We admit them
with all the degradation which they
must bring into our politics, We must
take the consequences.
1t is better that we should be just
and faithful to our own principle and
to the principles OF God, and that we
should in our laws be no respectors Of
persons, because if in our laws We are
respectOrs Of persons We must go the
way of empire, as all empire has gone.
Our danger is illustrated already in
Porto Rico. The tariff discussion in
Porto Rico violently agitated the Am
ericsn people because they instructive
" felt il was simply the introduction
Of the thin edge Of the wedge OF Impe-
rialism, the beginning Of the contest
between the American government
and the American people. 1t is the in
PRODUCTION OF the principle that con-
gress, which is a creature Of the con-
stitution, and the president, who is
creature Of the constitution, have GER
tain powers that have been delegated
by the people that are not given by
the constitution, powers claimed to
come just as the powers OF all despOts
come, from the hands Of Providence.
The best way in which the growth Of
any man or nation has ever been pro-
NOTED has been through self-gOTeFn-
