There rs one great question which,
with the exception of the trust ques-
ton, seems to rs to overshadow all of
other issues which will be discussed
in the coming Presidential campaign.
says the Northern Neck News. 1t
is the question of Imperialism. Ii
is question which goes right to the
root of our repu blican institutions
and which includes more of menace
and more of real danger than many
of our fellow citizens have failed to
take in the full significance of all
that is implied in this term Imper-
islism. Our forefathers fought
against Imperialism. Imperialism
means right by means of might. I'm
perialism holds hidden in its royal
purple, the same lie that found lbs
fullest exposition in the doctrine Of
the "Divine rights of Kings" In
perlalism means a fat contradiction
of the declaration Gov
ernments are instituted among men.
deriving their Just powers from the
consent of the governed" Imperial
ism means a departure from the Mon
roe doctrine. Imperialism means
ENHANCEMENT with European powers,
and a general mix-up in the mazes
of European diplomacy. 1t means
that our action iu Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines shall give the lie
TO the sacrad declaration of our in
tentions when We went to war with
Spain. 1t means a supervision and
sbrogation of our constitution in that
we treat Puerto Rico as a colonial de-
pency rather than as a territory. It
means the beginning of the end. Al
ready the Monroe doctrine has gone
glimmering down the tide of time
with theHay Observation-Disclosures
canal treaty. Already the plain
declaration that trade between the
several States and Territories shall
be free has been ruthlessly trodden
into the mire. IN obedience to the
mandates of the Sugar and Tobacco
Trusts. With the same conditions.

Strengthening Filipinos.

Officers who have arrived at Ma.
nills from Nueva Csceres, province
of South Csmsrines ,Lnzou, bring de-
tails of fight there April l6, in
which so FIlipinos were killed.
The American outposts at Nueva
Csceries reported 800 natives assem-
bled 3 miles from the town. Gen.
Boil sent three attachments of the
torty-hfth infantry, with two maxim
guns. These nearly surrounded the
Fllpinos, most of whom were armed
with bolos, or long knives. and wore
buffalo hide helmets. coats and
shields.
The Filiplnos were quickly put to
flight, leaving the field strewn with
their peculiar srmor. Their rifle
men being unable to shoot straight
aud the bolomen never got near
enough to the Americans TO do any
execution. Therefore none of the
Americans were even wounded.
In another fight Lieutenant Balche

The democratic State convention
convenes in Norfolk this week. The
business TO be transacted, other than
the election of delegates to the Nat
ional Democratic convention at Kan
sas City,will be the question of wheth-
er or not the call of constitutional
convention shall be endorsed by the
party. This point, however, seems
beyond speculation, as the convention
people claim majority of 200 when
the roll is called. Senator Martin
seems disposed to favor the move
ment now, since it is the sentiment
of large majority OF his constit
uents, and believes the new constitu
ton when framed should be submit
ted to the people for sanction or re-
lection. This position is also taken
by the conservative advocates of the
revision of the constitution, and we
believe it is proper.

A good many interesting reports
of the attempts of army officers to
track down and capture Aguinaldo
are coming in from the Philippines.
They all have had only one result,
and that is failure. The belief is,
however, that Aguinaldo is not at
Singapore, nor in Japan, nor any
where else except at Luzon. In fact
it is said that be is not far from Ma
Mia, and frequently visits that place,
assuming for the purpose a disguise,
at which he is said to be specially
clever.
