CHAPTER l..
And it came to pass in those days
that the elders and bosses made Will
liam ruler over the Sons of Liberty.
And 10 the land waxed fat with plenty,
and great prosperity was even unto the
borders thereof, where dwelt the lean
and hungry Englandites, and the Spain
ties, and the Mexicanites.
Now in those days the subjects of
the King of the Spainites looked upon
the happiness and plenty of the Sons
of Liberty, and their hearts grew sad,
and they said one unto another: Go
to, let us be free! that the God of plenty
may find habitation among US.
And they did make war upon the
Spainites, and they smote them with
the Machete, and the boom, boom, and
there was much slaughter in that
country.
And it came to pass that mighty
warrior named Weyler said unto the
captains of his host: "How comes it
we conquer not this savage people ?"
And captain of certain host, who
had much wisdom, spake and said:
"My Lord, these Sons of Liberty look
with the large eye upon this fair land
and they give aid unto this savage
people" And Weyler waxed hot under
his armor, and he swore mighty oath
that he would devast the western
world, and that all the rivers of the
land should become rivers of gore.
And he spake no more then.
And it came to pass, that about that
time Mckinley was sore troubled by
prophet called Bryan, who spake with
silver tongue, and had much wisdom,
so that all the people marveled much
at him. And the prophet spake, COM
manding them to turn from the Gods
of gold and to destroy the Temples of
Trusts, and to return unto the faith of
their forefathers; and he made many
followers in those days, and caused
much fear in the camps of the Goldites.
Now all this rumOr of the mighty
Weyler, coming to devast the land,
and the great Prophet Bryan, exhorting
the Sons of Liberty to cast down the
golden Gods and destroy the trusts,
made Mckinley sad and he said: "Lo,
l will 60 and counsel with the wise
men" And he caused it to be made
known among the elders and high
priests that he desired to consult with
them.
And when the Sons of Liberty heard
those things, they were afraid, for they
had saying among them in those
days "that it is an unwise man that
knoweth politician and trusteth him."
Now there was a very wise man
among the high priests, and because of
his wisdom, he was very dear to the
heart of Mckinley. So he caused him
to be seated very near unto himself in
the counsel chamber, and all the other
wise men showed honor unto him.
Now this wise man was called Marcus
Hannah; and Marcus seeing his lord so
much troubled, and knowing we'll his
sorrows, spake thus unto him:
80! most illustrious ruler, and fellow
wise man, there cometh time in the
affairs of nations and peoples, that if
taken at the ebb, meaneth Doodle and
power to them that maketh the deal.
0, most mighty of rulers! the Sons of
Liberty hath grown great under our
golden Gods, but there cometh out of
the west an evil prophet, who speaketh
like unto Demosthenes of old, and he
soweth much trouble among the people;
and, most wise ruler, the little lawmak-
ers have stopped the people from
sports Of the skirt dancers, and the dog

and amid the cannons roar soundeth
the war cry: "The Maine! The Maine!"
til at last great cheer riseth to the
heavens, and 10, not one of the Spain
ties ships of war remain upon the face
of the bay.

TIL AnOAh TQtAn RATIFIED
1T WAS DONE IN EXECUTIVE SEs-
SION OF the SENATE.
Bacon Was the Leading Opponent
Friends of the Treaty Repudlate
the Assertion That the Old
Provisions Are Aunuied.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The SEN
ate today in executive session ratifi :
ed the Samoan treaty without divi-
sion after two hours of debate
Messrs. Davis, Foraker and Spoon
er advocated and Senators Bacon,
Money and Tillman opposed ratifi-
cation.
Senator Bacon made the leading
speech in opposition. He based
his objection upon the general
ground that it was contrary to the
spirit of our institutions to attempt
to govern any people in opposition
to their wishes. He said that he
was not opposed to the new con
vention because of any partiality
felt for the old tripartite agree
ment, which was quite as repug-
nant to him as the new.
He thought. however. q means
might be found to that end with
out resorting to subterfuge
which was repulsive to all Aneri-
can ideas of liberty and indepen-
dence. There was no doubt of
the intention to annex and exer-
else sovereignty in place of the
protectorate which was the distin-
guishing feature of the iripartite
agreement of 1890.
This proposed change of policy
he objected to most strenuously
He compared the provisions of the
two agreements, showing that the
old one made express provisions
for the approval of the Samoan
government, whereas. the pending
instrument annuls all sovereignty
of the Samoan government and
partitions the island between the
United States and Germany.
Mr.. Bacon said that the friends
of the treaty supported it on the
two grounds that it simply divides
authority heretofore exercised pint
ly and that the Samoan people. be-
ing only savages, there is no
reason why they should not he de-
spoiled OF their country. The
United States had in many ways
recognized the Samoan govern
ment, guaranteeing its independ-
ence and making a treaty of amity
and friendship with its government
We do not. he continued, make
treaties of friendship with savages
He claimed that the proposed
changes should mott be made with
out the consent of the natives.
In conclusion Mr.. Bacon said he
was willing that the United States
should acquire the Island of Tutu.
lila with its Pago Pago harbor il
that could be done in the proper
manner and without violating al
of our principles in securing con
troll of it.
