CLEVELAND ON EXPANSION.
Some Effect ON the Colo
NAL System.

In his speech at the annual dinner
OF the Holland society of New York
ex-President Cleveland expressed again
the views which he has been known
to hold concerning the nations recent
expansion policy. He believes now
that with the definite adoption of a CO.
lonial system the country has been car
ried away from its traditional purposes
and principles and will never be the
same again." For veal or woe" he
declares. 1--WE have already i~rrevocably
passed beyond the old lines" He says
further:
The republic viii in some sort be
saved. Shall it be only in name n
semblance. with fair external appear
ance, but with the germs of decay fas-
tened upon its vitals, or shall 1t. though
changed, still survive "a such vigor and
strength as to remall the hope and pride
Of free Americans? The problem is a
momentous one Its solution depends
upon the extent to which the old patriot
ism and good seHse of our countrymen
can be rescued from impending n
The warning which Mr.. Cleveland
thus gives with an evident sense of the
gravity of the situation is not one that
can be lightly dismissed or answered

present attempt to make the govern
ment exercise imperial control of the
recently acquired island possessions.
The question as to the nations ability
to control the Philippines is, in Mr..
Cleyeland's view. incidental. 1t is prob
able, as he points out. that we can con-
quer the F%iIipinos, and even hold them
under some form of orderly govern
ment The real question is whether
this nation. in departing from the prin-
cipies which have made it great and
following in the old paths of the ma
tons which have advanced to imperial
power only to pass into de~eadence, is
not consenting to a "perversion of its
mission. What we may or may not
succeed in doing in the Philippines is
far less important than what the con-
tinued control of the Philippines may

It was scarcely necessary for Mr..
Cleveland to apologize for "sermoniz-
ing upon such a subject or for plead
ing with sober earnestness for a policy
Of caution and conservatism. The duty
now resting upon the executive branch
of government and upon congress is
n of vital Importance, and 1T eould
be wished that there were more men
of the influence of the ex-president
to stand out and declare what they be-
lieve to be the course of patriotism.
Now more than at any other time the
nation is in need of discerning. patri-

IT IS HIS WAY.
Foxy Move In His Engineer
ing of the Ship Subsidy
Grab Scheme.

Senator Hanna, although one of the
feels secure in his control of power,
is a shrewd spokesman who recognizes
the wisdom which declares hat half
a loaf is better thar no bread.
Tt is evidently on this principle that
Hanna has resolved to proceed in the
matter of the $50, 000, 900 ship subsidy
grab now awaiting the action of the
national congress. The great syndi-
cate agent in American public life is
now readjusting his cards so as to
play a hedging game. This is because
there are stronger hands against him
than he had at first allowed himself
to believe.
1t is this policy which has led Han
ma to consent, as now reported, to the
amending of the ship subsidy bill in
certain respects to conform to the
ideas of opposing senators. The
truculent boss has discovered that he
cannot compel the passage of the
Ubiquitous measure as it now stands.
He knows that both himself and the
Mckinley administration would be
discredited by it's defeat, and that the
syndicate behind the bill would suffer
material loss. He is assured that the
amended bill will have clear MAORI
ties in the senate and house. An
amended ship subsidy grab is better
thai 10 grab.
Whatever else may be said of this
man Hanna, it must be confessed that
he is the incarnation of commercials
lied politics. It is his creed to reach
out for everything in sight. Then, if
he cannot get all that he wants, he
will take what he can get. The
amended ship subsidy bill will work
g%rievous injury to the American peo-
pie, but Hanna will finally secure its
passage. And then, with the people
suffering under its vast tax burden,
the great boss will damn the Ameri-
can congress that it was not willing
to make the burden even more OPP
pressive, as he at first demanded

STIRRED UP BY HARRISON.
Havoc In Administration Circles Gre
ated by Former Presidents
Plain Talk.

One of the strongest evidences that
the shafts of ex-President Harrison
against imperialism are creating havoc
in administration circles is the fact
that in his argument to sustain the
oonstitutionality of the Porto Rico
tariff law, Solicitor General Richards
went out of his way to reply to ex-
President Harrison's Ann Arbor
speech. In that speech Mr.. Harrison
asked if the presidents assumption
of absolute power over the Porto
Ricans was anything less than shock
ing. The solicitor general tries to
mitigate the shock by denying the
presidents assumption of absolutism.
He declared that the government had
never asserted and did not believe
that congress had the power of .
despot in Porto Rico. Does Mr.. Rich
ards believe that the American peo-
pie are to be deceived as to the ac-
tual exercise of despotism by the
mere disclaimer, when every act on
our part in relation to Porto Rico IL
~despotic? We tax the commerce.; we
send a governor general; we send ex-
ecutive officers; we send judges; WI
send a majority of the legislature;
back of these we rave the army. Ev-
erything that a Porto Rican may do
or may not do depends on officials in
whose choice he had nothing to say.
Isn't it the height of impudence to
declare that this is not despotism?
Nothing shows the moral cowardice
of the imperialists more than these
denials of their own works. They
haven't the courage of their wi pur-
poses. Imperialism is impossible"
says Mckinley, and then he sends o
commission of five to make laws for
a distant people who resent the inn
position of the foreign yoke. There
is no despotism in Porto Rico" says
the solicitor general, because the
government never asserted it." But
the governments assertion or denial
does not change the character of the
acts in Porto Rico, which are despot-
pure and simple.

her visit here. Mr.. Sheriff. came to the
city during Fair week. and took oppor-
tunity TO talk with Miss Pearl.
Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
he called at the Register of Deeds office
and obtained a marriage license, giving
his age as twenty three and the young
lady's as eighteen. He endeavored TO
keep this secret, but President Dinwiddie
heard of the issuing of the license soon
after it was given and informed Mrs.
Elliott. In company with Mr.. Ernest Hay

went to the Register OF Deeds offlce ana
sent for Mr.. Sheriff..
Mr.. Sheriff. came, and the matter was
talked over, finally ending in the license
being returned. Miss Elliott is reported
as lacking six months of being eighteen
years old and the penalty for running up
the age of bride-elect in these cases is
a heavy one. The returning of the IL
cense stops the prosecution which might
have come.
1t is said that the only objection to
the marriage of Miss Pearl is because
of her age. Mr.. Sherrill's side of the
case is that he and Miss Pearl were to
be married some days ago, but that Mrs.
Elliott wanted this postponed TIL AFTER
the school course was completed. 1t was
their intention to he married yesterday
and for Mr.. Sheriff. to return to Hick-
DRY while the possible Mrs. Sheriff. re-
turned to Peace Institute.
