THE TYRANNY IN CORDUROYS
1t is the legacy We have inherited
from Mr. Gladstone, the man who be-
traycd his country to his ambition and
his vanity There Is a tradition in this
country that Great Britain IS a class
ridden nation, that men with coronets
on their brows stalk around with horse
whips in their hands compelling the
people as the Southern gentlemen were
made to do in "Uncle Toms Cabin
AS a matter Of fact, the modern ty-
rant Of Britain, possessed OF more power
than ever was feudal lord wears over
ais and moleskins, IS grimy to the
touch and utterly Indifferent to the in
terests Of his country and to the pros
poets Of his children and his children's
children. Great Britain is the paradise
Of demagogy, and under us baleful
grasp is sulfocating To death. No man
today denies that the cause of Brltain's
decline is the w0rkingman and the cow

power to destroy his country and HIM

Democratic as the United States the
oretiCally is il has never yielded the
power to majorities that Great Britain,
to her own undoing has done. The po-

has been dlametricaly opposed. Great

were trees Of all shapes and sizes. The
mahogany was the giant, and many
times they would run up for fifty feet

Many others produced equally good saw

FL Paso, Tex, May 6.-The Ameri-
can and Mexican flags were enter
twined in the decorations of the
plaza where the official greeting of
President Mckinley and his cabinet
took place. The presence on the
stand of Gen. Hernandez, personal
representative Of President Diaz, and
governor of the state of Chihua-
hua, gave in international signif-
canoe TO the event. There were thou
sands of Mexicans in the vast con-
course OF people to whom the presi-
dent spoke. and their enthusiasm was
almost as wild as that of the Ameri-
cans.
Gen. Hernandez addressed the pres
ident on behalf of his president, ex-
tending the latter's congratulations,
and President Mckinley, in his re-
spouse, paid n high tribute to tho
president Of the Mexican republic,
and charged his emissary to convey
to his chief his warm regard and
personal esteem with his best wishes
for tho continued prosperity of our
sister republic. The presidents speech
was very happy, and was especially
notable on account of his Injunction
to the people not to be alarmed
about imperialism. There was, he said,
no Imperialism except the imperial
power of the sovereign people of the
United States.
