MILITARIsM AND IMPERIALISM CON
SPICUOUS.

Militarism and Imperialism were
prominently in evidence at the capital
of the republic Monday. The army
and navy were conspicuously dis
played in the ceremonies attending
the second Inauguration as president
of William Mckinley. Pomp and
glitter. gold, lace and epaulets, swords
and bayonets were to be seen on
every hand. All the grandeur and the
splendor that the money of the trusts
and syndicates and imPerialists could
command was literally provided, and
the occasion surpassed in gorgeous
ness and in military display the coro-
nation of o king or an emperor.
What contrast was the brilliaucy
and royal magniicence of this inaug-
ration to the republican simplicity
that formerly characterized the induc-
ton of the chief magistrate of the re-
public into Office. Patriots who UNDER
stand the tendency of such exhibitions
of militarism and imperialism will
larent them as evidence of the de-
cadency of the liberty and equality
that heretofore has distinguished and

DlsFRANCHIsINa DEMOCRATS

The democrats were accused of ger
rymandering the state when they de-
signed the congressional apportion-
ment of 1898, but Illinois mas had q
solid republican congressional repre-
sentation since that time. Some of
the districts which were then divided
as examples of democratic partisanship
now look like cubes as compared with
some of the designs on the republi-
can congressional map One district
extends clear across the state, bar
ring one county, and it has extern
lsions and projections to north and to
south until all idea of symmetry or
relationship is lost At one end of
the district the people speak differ
ent language from the other and the
political leaders in some of the coun-
ties never heard of the leaders in
some of the others-even in the col
trict in which Adams county is placed
is another glaring example of disre-
gard of the constitution. From the
Southwestern corner of the district,
near Fall Greek, the Quincy Herald
says, to the northeast corner of
Henry county is a days journey of
something like 10 miles, over three
lines of railroad and so miles of high
way. Yet man on the line between
Adams and Schuyler counties can be
in three different congressional dis
tricts in half an hour. At that point
McDonough and Brown counties are
but six miles apart, yet they are in
different congressional districts, with
the Adams county district flowing be-
tween.
The basis of population is supposed
to be as nearly 100000 inhabitants as
possible. Yet the new Rock Island
district. as proposed, has population
of but 10, 900. while one of the dem
ocratic districts in Egypt has over
100000. Here is a difference of over
90, 900 people.
The repu blicans expect to create
10 districts for themselves and six for
the democrats Even at that, some
repu blicans are unsatisfed, and the
Springfield Journal thinks it might
have been possible to construct map
which would give the republicans 20
districts instead of 10. 1t is true that
one of the republican districts would
only have about $50, 600 people. while
"a democratic one would have
over $50, 900, but the Journal claims
justification in ardent partisanship
1t is not matter of equality and fair
ness and democrat is not to be con-
sidered as human being in republi-
can councils.

OF tae g5S,24S population of Porto
Rico, only $4,000 live in cities. On
this island, but 100 miles long and Sc
wide. are 40, distinct farms, and
one-ffth of the island under cultiva-
ton. The average size of a farm in
Porto Rico is 45 acres, of which II are
cultivated. Seventy-one per cent of
these farms are owned By whites and
the rest by negroes. Ninety-three
per cent of all the farms are cultivated
by their owners, a higher rate of
ewner-cultivation than the United
States can show, where the proper
ton is but ~ per cent. Thirty-eight
per cent of the Porto Ricans are col
ored, and SO per cent of the colored
people are of mixed blood. The per-
centage of illiteracy is very high
about "a. This is higher than in any
other country from which statistics
are obtainable, except Guatemala.
