NO. So.

to the legislative halls stood Colonel
Williams and behind him a detachment
OF so ldiers completely blocking up the
stairs. Colonel Williams carried in his
hand large bundle Of papers, one of
which he handed to each member of
the house as they passed him. II was
q copy Of the proclamation adjourning
the legislature.
When the main body of the legisla-

The suggestion was acted upon, and
the national guard was ordered to pre-
vent the meeting.
There was no parade. Every man
went as though running to FIRE. They
ran up the middle of the street and
easily distanced the legislators, who
took the sidewalk, and handicapped
then lselves by numerous posts, boxes
and pedestrians that filled the way.

obtai ined for their run of quarter of
a mi ile was the privilege of standing on
the opposite side Of the street and gaz.
ing at the opera house, the front of
which was occupied by painting line
Of soldiers In double rank with fixed
bayonets.
Speaker Trimble then said:
'd,entlemen, we are denied admission
to the opera house. We will now ad-
jour to the court house."
Away went the crowd with good
natu red yells Of derision at the soldiers
who had orders to remain at the opera
hous se and could not leave. The triumph
of the lawmakers was short-lived. Be-
fore they had gone 100 feet from the
opera house, around the corner swung
a second company OF soldiers directly
in their path.
The second heat OF the race was now
on. and away went the dignified sena.
tors and represe n tatives down the street
in cloud Of dust, yelling like a pack
OF Indians. Alongside ran the soldiers.

the Legislators were permitted to look
at the outside of the court house while
the soldiers held the path. General

Imperialism.


Henry LOOMS Nelson in Golfers Weekly.
The important issue in the coming Pres
idential campaign will be imperialism.
The Administration and its supporters IN
tend that the Government of the Republic
shall rule over Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines; that this rule is to be praetl-
cally absolute, any modification of abso-
lutism being a favor granted to the people,
and not a right appertaining to them; that
in respect of them Congress is not bound
to obey the Constitution, but may rule the
Hawaiians, the Porto Ricans and the Fill
pinos Independent of all restraints and linn
itations. For example, under the imper-
ialistic theory of government Congress may
deny to the dependencies the right of trial
by Jury, or the rights of freedom of speech
and of the press, as it has denied them the
right of uniform taxation which Is pre-
scribed by the Constitution. The right OF
citizenship has already been denied to the
Porto Ricans, and, under the same system,
will be denied to the people of the Philip
pines.
Subjects and dependents of an empire
are nevertheless its citizens, but citizenship
of the Republic carries certain eonstltu
tional rights, and the recognition of citizen
ship necessarily implies that the people en-
joying it also enjoy the protection of the
Constitution 1t is going to be impossible
to set up a republican empire under the
fundamental law, which must, therefore.
be violated if our Government Is to be not
only our servant, the servant of a democ
racy, but also the irresponsible master over
other peoples. Two soveTeignties will then
exist side by side, in this country-the
sovereign people who, in their Constitution,
have set up a government of limited powers,
and sovereign government which no one
will have established This government
will. consequently, exercise double and an
tagonistic functions In domestic affairs.
it will serve; in colonial affairs it will rule.
If the exercise of its latter functions does
not react upon and gradually revolutionlze
the former, we are about To see a new
wonder of the world, wonder as marvellous
and incomprehensible as would have been
the patriotic self restraint of the Pretorlans
after they had once tasted the JOY. ot set
ting up aud pulling down emperors. What
ever may be the merits OF tins question:,
however, it cannot be disputed that the
rule Of home government over dePendeu
cies, or colonies, or possessions, whatever
they may be called is the rule Of empire.
aud that the policy Of those who adv"eate
such a rule is the policy Of imperialism

A Soldiers Message.


Prom the Baltimore American Of Monday
Justice Goldman, of the Northwestern
Police Station, has received letter from
Sergeant Martin g. Shields, Company Fl
Forty-third Regiment, T. S. v, stationed
at Laguan Samar, Philippine Islands, and
dated April p, 1900 He says, in part
1.-THE war here is not over yet by long
shot, and viii never be over with only one
regiment to take care Of an island like
Samar. We have been fighting ever since
we landed here, aud out of one hundred
and five men that sailed from New York
on the Meade we have but sixty-four left
twenty two killed, twelve wounded aud
seven sick We are all broke up and can
not stand the strain much longer. We
are ia the center of circle of insurgents,
who are waiting for a chance to jump into
us. The American soldiers on Samar'
Island are in trap. If any person dear
to you should take notion to become
soldiers for the Philippines, for God sake
stop them-talk them out of it. Give
them advice from one who has seen his
comrades fall by his side; who has seen
Filipinos cut his comrades up by inches
and throw them to the alligatoTs -

For Publication Only.
From the Boston Advertiser.

1t is generally admitted at Washington
that the antitrust law, which has just
been passed almost unanimously by the
Federal House of Representatives, is to
be regarded as introduced rather for cam
paign purposes than as final act of legis-
lation. Perhaps some antitrust law will
be enacted at the next session of Congress,
but it will be different measure in many
ways. The bill was passed in order to be
mentioned in campaign speeches, and the
measure was rushed through so hurriedly
because everybody knew that it was not to
be considered too seriously. There is a
good deal of "buncombe' in the present
bill, which prohibits a manufacturer or a
merchant from dealing in trust goods, under
penalty of State prison, while allowing a
labor organization to do the same thing
without punishment Good judges believe
the bill as it stands to be unconstitutional
