mothers who mourn the loss of their
sons in this war win not be comforted
by the Republican praise of imperial
ism. And in face of all this and in face
of the danger to our own institutions
from Imperialism the Republicans Try
to tell us that there is no such issue.
The Republicans are not happy in
their choice of subjects on which to
preach to voters. The Republican
handbook contains statement on pen
sions which is intended to soothe the
G. A. r. by showing that Mckinley has
allowed 81 per cent. of all claims, while
Cleveland allowed only 81 per cent
The pension roll constitutes an enor-
nous drain on our revenues, and is be-
ing increased by the claimants from the
Spanish and Philippine wars There is
no objection to just and liberal pen
sions. but many are now on the rolls
who have no right there.
The g. A. R.. however, is wrathy at
Pension Commissioner Evans, and
nothing will allay the resentment of
this organization except the removal
Of the obnoxious official Mckinley has
lad his resignation in hand for some
time, but with characteristic hesitaney
cannot make up his mind whether or
not to accept it.
Mckinley is sorely puzzled as to
what he shall say in his letter of accept
ance. Bryan put the issue of imperial
ism SO it cannot be lodged. and from
all over the country comes ringing as
sertions from those who We're Republi-
cans in 1896 that they intend to vote for
Bryan this time because he is against
Imperialism. 1t is generally recognized
that even the fancied danger of dis
turbance to the financial legislation of
the country would be very much less
than the menace of Imperialism. The
Republicans are having no success in

Not of Public Interest.

An Englishman of somewhat choleric
disposition was making inquiries at
the War Office about relative in South
Africa. Annoyed at the inability Of
the officials TO give him any tidings,
he began to charge them with wilfully
keeping back intelligence. In the
midst of his expostulatieps a telegram
was handed in, and he Immediately
asked the official IL it concerned South
Africa. The official replied affirma-
lively, but said it was not Of public
interest Thereupon the old gentle
man alternately raved and pleaded, till
at last to quiet him, the official con-
scented as a great favor to show him
the wire. 1t read as follows More
nose bags wanted at the front"

Labor and the Pension List.

Pension abuse was one of the causes
which led the American people to I'm
dertake the war Of the revolution. II
imperialism is TO be the policy of the
government of the United States Tor
the next four years we shall have a
pension list whose taxes win stagger
labor. No American citizen objects TO
pensions as seward for defense of
the country. Such pensions always
ought to be and always VIII be paid
gratefully. Pensions for Imperialism
win always be a reminder of the
gravest error in the history of the
American people. Chicago Chronicle.

Porto RICO business.
Thomas B. Reed, the brilliant ex
Speaker, whose equal in mental equip
ment the Mckinley outfit cannot pro-
duce, is VIGOROUSLY out of sympathy
with MeKinleyism, and left public life
rather than be compelled to defend the
weak administration for which he
feels so hearty contempt.
Senator Hoar, the "old man elo-
quent," is constrained, by affectionrfor
the party whose cradle he rocked, to
stand by the tic!s,t; but everybody
knows that neither his heart nor his
brain is In the cause.
How can McKinleyism, distrusted If
not despised by the best minds in the
Republican party, expect the support
of the people, most ridiculous of all

The PhiIinnine Situation

1t is clear that the Philippine insur-
rection is only smoldering kept under
by the vast army we have massed in
the archipelago-an is ready to break
out anew at the first opportunity. 1t
is disquieting to learn from our CORE
spondent that the Filipinos have still
about 10000 Mauser rifles in their pos
session. The people of the towns
throughout the islands hate the Ameri-
cans, are treacherous in dealing with
them and seem to strive to retard rath-
er than advance American projects
looking to their benefit. In short, the
Filipinos are simply being held down
by main strength. In short, the Ameri-
cans are regarded as tyrannical, alien
invaders, and while numerous proving
armed bands are conducting a guerrilla
warfare the mass of the natives who
have professed to return to the ways
of peace are ready when opportunity
offers to recover their hidden rifles and
again take TO the woods and mountains
in armed rebellion. This is a discour-
aging situation to contemplate nearly
two years after the signing of the
treaty by which the President exacted
possession of the islands and stipulated
to pay Spain $20,O0O,oO0 for them.

Resorting to Desperate Means.

1t (the Republican national machine)
is undertaking by every means to dis
turb the business of the country, to
undermine confidence and to create
state of public sentiment which might,
under certain conditions, lead to panic.
1t is doing this without sufficient cause,
simply to gain a party advantage and
without regard to the consequences
which may follow. 1t is apparently
endeavoring to work up panic, to I'm
settle finances and to promote feeling
of distrust which may prove disastrous
This is the Republican policy in 1900
a policy which involves a wicked disre-
gard of the business interests of the
country-a narrow and selfish policy
which would withhold prosperity from
the nation unless the Republican party
is retained ia Baltimore Sun.

NEW YORK PRIMARIES
John O. Sheehan Was Defeated, as Was
 Lemuel Quigg

New York, March 27.-Primary elections were held in the assembly districts of New York city today. The republicans chose delegates to the assembly district eonven- tions and the congressional conventions; the democrats elected delegates to the state convention, which will name four to the national convention. There were severe contests in only two districts, the Ninth, where the Croker faction of Tammany sought to overthrow John c. Sheehan, and the Twenty-fifst, where Abe Gruber sought to retain the republican leadership and was openly opposed by the republican organiza- tion, led by ex-Congressman Lemuel Quigg.
 In the Ninth district MT. Sheehan was defeated. The Goodwin faction boiled 1873 votes; Sheehans men 1,549..
