ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.
PHILANTHROPY MIsDIREcTED.
Strained and Revolutionary Inter-
probation of the American
Constitution.

The nation is flooded with deluge
of moral advice from the pulpit, the
academy and the writing itch of re-,
formers. Everybody holding salaried
office, and possessing an influence of
any kind from policeman up to the
president is wrested with, advised, and
crammed with large doses of duty to
morals, fellowmen, heather, cats. dogs,
and horses, ETC., but all of it is useless,
waste of breath, jaw muscle and gen
eral physical energy. What boots all
this moral and philanthropic overflow
of cranky empiricism. or, may be, well
directed and honest effort to abate hui
man ills and lift man out of his wal
low? Suppose says the Springfield
Republican, that Lyman Abbott fa-
vored free trade with Porto Rico, would
his protest against the present policy
avail anything? The Independent,
most godly and benevolent of militant
imperialists, pronounces the proposed
Porto Rican tariff wicked thing, but
what does the Independent amount to-
now that the real power behind the
throne OF empire mas spoken IN tones
that made whole government retrace
it's course like some toy pulled by a
string?
In all this the country is witnessing
remarkable display of the grip which
the overwhelming power of trade in
terests, of money, has upon the United
States government. There is nothing,
apparently, which it cannot do, short
of establishing an hereditary mon
archy upon the ruins of the old repub-
lie. Philanthropy could never have
compelled this discrimination between
Hawaii and Porto Rico ?nor have for ia
the administration party to set up
strained and revolutionary interpreta-
ton of the scope of the American con-
stitution. But the syndicates can"

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
Towards Our New Pos
sessions.

Mr.. Henry Loomis Nelson is SO well
known as careful, conscientious and
intelligent journalist that his inter
pretations" of the presidents "coloni-
appoliey III the Sunday Post-Dispatch
Rlay be accepted as authoritative. Mr..
Mckinley talked freely, wisely choos-
ing this as the best way of getting his
views before the country.
The presidents announcement is the
most important political utterance
since the establishment of the govern
ment, except, perhaps, the emancipa-
tion proclamation. 1t is revolutionary.
"The president believes that congress
has plenary power over Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines"
That is, in governing the colonies,
congress is not restrained by any con-
stitutiona1 limitations. 1t is absolute.
Further, congress may refuse to the
natives (of Porto Rico, Hawaii, etc.
and to the American citizens who may
go to our colonies the right of jury
trial, the right of free speech. the
right to bear arms, the right of peace
able assemblage and of petition
The presidents conclusions are not
the result of legal inquiry or judicial
study. They are the product of par
tisan necessity.
''Our new possessions must not be
permitted to injure any of our pro-
tected interests
This doctrine, though revolutionary,
is not new or strange. The Roman re
public conquered foreign peoples and
governed them for the benefit of Rome
and Romans. Mr.. Mckinley proposes
to do the same thing-to govern the
people of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Filipinos without reference to their
welfare, but primarily for the CONNER
cial benefit of Americans, and in order
to accomplish this he proposes to re-
pudiate every principle of American
policy and give the lie to every Ameri-
can principle.
What will the people of this country
say to this ?-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Life is much what we make it. Our
happiness depends more upon o1ir
minds and wishes than upon outside
influences. Yet outside influences
have mnch to do with our mental
state. They are very suggestive.
Now we can by right thinking and
wise planning soon change our out
side surroundings very materially.

RAMPANT IMPERIALISM.
How the Administration Proposes
to Deal with the Philippine
Acquisitions.

Representative Charles Henry Gros-
venor, of Ohio, is the presidents
particular friend, SO close to him in
fact that he is Mr.. McKinley's mouth
piece. This is the way Mr.. Grosyenor
throws overheard the people of the
United States as of no account in the
imperial policy: He spoke in the house
and it is fair 10 say that he was very
much annoyed at the trend of certain
decisions by the supreme court against
the presidents policy:
''We have got the Philippines on our
hands, said he, ''and I will tell you
what we shall tell the people of this
country. We will say we have acquired
title to the Philippines and Porto Rico.
We did not go after them, but they
came to us and we could not help our
selves.
''We have get them and the duty is
upon us, and we are going to take care
of them.
we are gong to make all the money
out of the transaction we can by en-
larging our trade with the Oriental
countries. ana we are gong 10 emDalm
the doctrines of the Declaration of In
dependence upon the statute books of
the Philippines just as quick as we
think the time has come to do it, and
we are not going to do it one minute
before, if all the democrats on Gods
earth go bowling that we have got to
do it now"
When Representative Neville, of Ne
braska, asked if the republican party
expected to embalm the Filipinos
along with the Declaration of Inde-
pendenee in the Philippines, Mr..
Grosvenor became so mad he had to
