An American DUTY,
From the 81. Louis Republic,

From the st. Louis Republic
Senator Vest, In his comment upon
the decision Of the Federal Supreme
Court In the insular cases, declares that
the ruling makes evident our adoption
Of the colonial policy, and that it is now
the duty Of the Democratic party to
continue its fight against imperialism
and the abandonment of the principles
on which our government is founded.
This American duty u.s. indeed, so
plain that the necessity for its perform.
ance should enlist every consistent
American In the ranks OF the Demo-
cratic party II Is no time TO allow
party preferences or party prejudices TO
blind one Of the truth. The life of the
nation Ms 4 republic Is IN peril. The
party which favors imperialism Is hos
tile to every sentiment of democracy
The party which stands firm In the faith
held by the founders of the republic is
the true American party
II may be that many Americans Of the
present day will fail to see this danger.
Much will be said of the glory which
comes from wide dominion and the sub
jugation of weaker peoples. II Is al.
ready urged that we should have the
same rights Of foreign conquest M are
claimed and held by the monarches of
Europe. Those rights are the rights
won by the strong hand welding the
bloody sword. In order to possess them
we must surrender our own rights rs n
free people who stand for the principles
of liberty and self-governmentth the world
over.
There are many Americans who are
not ready to make this surrender, They
are still firm In their allegiance to the
American creed of liberty as taught by
the patriot fathers. They cannot bring
themselves to betray freedom to power.
Their place is IN the Democratic party,
Their duty from this day onward Is to
fight the doctrine Of imperialism rs the
most dangerous doctrine possible In its
menace to the welfare of the republic,
Senator Vest is right Americans must
now take n final stand against empire
II the republic IL TO be saved

An alarm of fire was rung in from box
As a little after o'clock Sunday morn

blaze in the house Of Fremont Rowe on

was in the upper part of the building and
had gained considerable Roadway when
discovered, the entire roof being in flames
when the fremen reached the scene. a
moment after the last round from box As
sounded, second alarm was sent in by
someone from box IS and this led many
to believe that there was a serious con-
flagraton which had neccssitated a spe
cial alarm. The last alarm. however was
probably pulled in by someone who dis
covered the fire from Ticonic street and
who had not heard the first alarm.
Nothing whatever was saved from the
house. the department putting forth ev-
cry effort to food the building and there
by prevent a spread of the flames. The
cause of the fire is unknown, as the FAM

aged to a considerable extent by the fire
which fell in the walls and the deluge of
water poured into the structure. Four
lines of hose were laid because on that
level the pressure was not as great as on

about 1900, with an insurance of $500. Mr.

IT is C. E. DUREN.
Appointed as Deputy Sheriff to Succeed Lat a,
William r. Mutt.

Charles f. Duren was appointed, Satur-
day, by Sheriff Pennell of Skowhegan, as
deputy sheriff to succeed the late William
F. Mutt. There have been three candl-
dates for the position. II. C. Gould, Will
liam Simpson and Mr.. Duren. There has
been something of a contest between the
three since the death of Mr.. Mutt and all
have had strong backing. Mr.. Gould was
supported by the town committee and Il
large list of names on a petition which he
circulated some time ago.
The appointment is something of a sur
prise, as Mr. Duren has always been
reckoned as a Democrat while the other
two candidates are known as strong Re-
publicans. Mr.. Duren, however, is very
well known, popular and well qualified
for the position. He was for many years
engaged in the numbering business which
with others was destroyed by fire. OF
late he has been employed as tax col
lector for the town, which position he has
filled very acceptably.

Eight Men Sui.ocated in Burning Harvard
Hotel at Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Eight
men lost their lives in a fire at 1l5
Washington avenue. S, at O'Clock, this
morning. The fire had its origin in the
rear of the Standard Furniture Co.
The men were overtaken by an intense
volume of smoke in the Harvard hotel
which occupies the second, third and
fourth floors of the building. and death
in every instance was due to suffoca
ton When the men were found in va
rious parts of the house, man named
Erickson was dead and the seven
others were unconscious.
The fire was discovered by Charles
Hanson, who Immediately apprised
George O'Connor, the night clerk, and
the two men set about to awaken the
dodgers Hanson devoted his attention
to the second floor, while OConnor
rushed up stairs. The men Were all
sound asleep and in several instances
it was necessary for O'Connor to break
in the doors. In the meantime he gave
the alarm and the warning soon spread
What took place in the dingy rooms
and narrow dark hall ways will never
be known. 1t was Il case of every man
rushing for his own life. Nineteen of
the ~ dodgers We're successful but the
others were unable to beat their way
through the oil smoke and fell in their
tracks where they were found by the
firemen. Many of those who escaped
came staggering out on the snowy side

their way through the deadly smoke
and heat and only partially clad. The
loss on the building and contents will
not exceed $4,000.
