HARRISON On
IMPERIALISM
The Ex-President's Speech
at Ann Arbor.
CONSTITUTION FOLLOWS FLAG
1.-THE Man Who Has to Rely on Benevo'
lence for His Laws Is Slave"
Says Mr.. Harrison.
CONSTITUTION FOLLOWS FLAG

"What shall we do with our ex-presi-
dents?' This much-mooted question re-.
ceived practical answer from one OF
them last week. In carefully prepared
speech BENJAMIN Harrison utilized the
dignifled and influential position which
he holds as an ex-president to reassert
the fundamental principles of the govern
ment which he administered for four
wears, and to recall the nation to sense
of its obligations as republic.
Mr.. Harrison's speech, which was de-
livered in the Michigan university town,
of Ann Arbor, was upon the relation OF
tour new possessions" and their inhabi-
tants to the United States, and especially
upon the question whether the fedora!
constitution applies to Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
Every Intelligent man is inter
ested to know what an ex-presldent
thinks about policy pursued by presi
dent in office, when it involves such I'M
portant issues as that adopted ny the
Mckinley administration toward Porte
Rico and the Philippines. .If. slaliisol
was perfectly fran III tie presentation
Of his views, which were expressed witt
great clearncss and iorce.
As to the legal questions involved, Mr
Harrison holds that the constitution fol-
lows the flag; that as Porto Rico and the
Philippines are parts OF the Cnlte'
States, the fundamental law OF the re
public applies to them as much as to an.
other parts OF the United States. Inc
ex-president is an able constitutions
lawyer, who has the faculty of making
his points so clearly that everybody cal
see them, and his argument that tn
constitution applies as whole every
where not such portions as a prcsslden
or congress may choose to. apply IN on
or another section, appeals lrreslstlpl.
to the mind OF the candid layman.
The ex-president does not mince word
in combating the theory that the constl
tuition applies only to the states, and no
to the tcrritories-a theory which con
sistent imperialists have carried to It
logical conclusion by claiming that Ar
IONA and New Mexico, like Porto Ric
and the Philippines, are outside the Pre-
lection If our great national chartel
and subject to a congress acting, as MI
Harrison outs it, under no restrain
except what interest AMI benevolenc
impose" This view OF the America
constitution the ex-president fatly de
clares to be "shocking."
The theory that the Porto Ricans an
the Filipinos will be sufficiently protecte
by the ''benevolence" OF their rulers

Kinley's policy OF 'Denevoicnt asslmlia.
tion"-is treated with contemptuous
ridicule and righteous indignation. "rhe
man who has to rely upon benevolence
for his laws is slave" bluntly says Mr..
Harrison. He points out that the tea tax
against which our forefathers protested
was not oppressive, but that they objected
to it on the ground that the British gov
eminent had no right to levy it. He as
flag in Porto Rico while the governor
stood under it and read proclamation
that the island is outside the constitu-
ton and under congress.
! The hypocrisy of the piOus claim that
has been put forth in behalf of the policy
of conquest is exposed with relentless
severity. Mr.. Harrison asserts that a
condition has been created contrary to
liberty for commercial profit, and says
that he has been told that the Porto
Rican tariff law was passed to protect
the beet-sugar interests. He wakes sar-
castle when he talks of the alleged "du-
ties that Providence has imposed on this
country" remarking that we are carry
ing the white mans burden, but that he
has noticed that this means to carry the
black mans gold.
1t is hardly too much to say that this
is an epoch making speech. Everything
conspires to give the utterance dignity
and weight. 1t comes from an ex-presi.
dent. who is reserved by nature and
who has spoken on public questions but
seldom since his retirement from office
1t is solemn, earnest, and indignant
protest against the policy of a republican
administration from man who is by
instinct strong partisan, and who has
ALWAYS been loath to condemn the polit
ical Organization with which he has
acted eve, since its origin. This rlngint
cry for t..c maintenance OF the republic
principles is forced from Benjamin
Harrison because he is patriot, the
descendant of man who fought to es
tablish the constitution, himself a soldier
in later war to maintain that constltu
ton. and as much believer in the
, ancestor was in the last century or III
himself generation ago.
Mr.. Harrison's deliverancc is by ia

The Ideal Man.

aany good items of news are lost
to the newspapers by the modesty of
the people who hesitate to tell the
reporters of matters concerning them
selves. Not that they do not want
it to appear in print, but they are
afraid they would be pushing them
selves forward. This is wrong idea.
From a reportorial standpoint, the
man who will stop newspaper re.
porter on the street and inform him
that he has been to Chicago or some
other city, that he is going to get
married, or his wife entertained
friends from q distance is the best
man alive. May his likeness increase
throughout the earth. If you have
done anything mean or disreputable
it isn't necessary to tell it, for there
are always plenty of people who will
do that for you. 1t is good things
about yourself and neighborhood
that the newspaper man wants you
to give him.-Flogd Press.

A LAKE WORTH OWNING,

tBdlttm0re SUM-
The lake of asphalt in Venezuela
is possession worth lighting for.
If the enterprise were properly man
aged it ought to prove a source of
almost incalculable wealth to the
owners. The lake is about five miles
long and three miles wide. The
asphalt taken from it is said to be
the best and purest in the world. 1t
is refred by heating it until the
water evaporates, there being no
scum, dirt or foreign matter in it.
The supply is inexhaustible, and the
lake, as described in the New York
Times by one who has seen it, sis a
huge, black sea Of wealth, stretch
ing out as far as the eye can reach"
The excavations fill up as rapidly
as the workmen leave them, and "no
amount of reasonable work in taking
out asphalt can produce a visible
diminution of the supply. Itis
well of wealth that never ovei flows
and is always filled to the brim. It's
upcoming is wrapped in mystery,
Its birthtiine is unknown. 1t isim-
possible TO estimate its actual value
as a mercantile commodity, and to
say at hazard that it is worth hun
dreds of billions of dollars is not
putting the figures too high"
A lake of asphalt which is worth
hundreds of billions of dollars" is
a more valuable possession than all
the gold and diamond mines of the
world, if there should be a steady
and general demand for asphalt. On
the assumption that the value of
the deposit is not overestimated
Venezuela is the richest country in
the world. All the cotton, wheat
and tobacco made in the United
States since the War of the Revolu-
tion scarcely sold for such sum of
money as the amount vaguely de-
soribed as "hundreds of billions of
dollars" The gold mines of South
Africa, Australia and the Yukon
are insignificant wealth producers
compared with the Venezuelan lake
of asphalt. There is wealth enough
in the lake, according to the New
York Times correspondent, to make
the South American republic ma
tion of bloated bondholders. The
late Col. Mulberry Sellers never
dreamed of such bonanza.

DOGS DREAM.

We have seen the animal start on
its legs from an uneasy slumber, and
bark vaguely, yet vehemently, as il
at some object in the shadow land
On being spoken to it ceased at once
and, whining and mumbling, again
addressed itself to sleep. No doubt
can be entertained of the fact that
in some degree, at least, their "lives
are two-fo'd," and that they some.
times re-enact in sleep the drama OF
their waking hours.
a merchant of this city was pos
sessed of a poodle, which FOR years
had been in the habit of bringing
him bis boots at a certain hour in
the morning, preparatory to their
usual walk to the counting room.
The dog usually slept at the foot of
the staircase, at the second landing
of which was an entry leading to
his masters bedchamber.
The latter was once aroused, al
the dead hour of night, by a strange
scratching at the door, which being
cautiously opened, old Hugo walked
slowly in, with his eyes wide open
and boot in his mouth. He gravely
deposited this at the merchants feet
and started for its fellow, but, upon
being called back and reproved,
seemed at once to comprehend his
mistake.
lie then took up the boot, and as
the voice of the watchman sounded
the hour, looking ridiculously enough,
sneaked down stairs to bed again.
This is the only case of somnam-
bulism in the brute creation, which
We remember to have heard of.
The same person was afterwards
attacked by cit of the gout, which
confined him to his house for several
weeks.
On the morning succeeding the
attack the boots appeared in his
chamber, as usual; the invalid
pointed to his swollen feet, swathed
in flannel and resting upon pillows,
whereupon the poodle, mistaking his
meaning, flew furiously at the
bandages, and commenced tearing
them of, giving the unfortunate
sufferer the most exquisite agony in
his well-meent but injudicious at
tempts to remove the embargo on
the boots.-Rrider's Sporting Anec.

THE PRESIDENTS DOG.

A little incident which somebody
about the White House witnessed
the other day is significant both as
an illustration of certain traits in the
character of President Roosevelt and
as an example for his admirers.
There has been an impression among
certain of his critics that he believed
"the strenuous life" to consist chiefly
in hunting and killing animals; but
though a mighty hunter, he is not
merely Nimrod, as the following
occurrence shows.
1t was rainy, dreary day, soon
after Mr.. Roosevelt's return to
Washington, and after busy morn
ing the President and his secretary
started out for walk. Just outside
the door lay homeless, friendless
dog, as close to the wall as he could
get, his body curled up into the
smallest possible bunch to avoid the
rain and possible observation. AS
the two men emerged from the door
he looked up apprehensively to see
if kick or a stern "Be off with you
nowP' would compel him to beat 9
rapid retreat. But nothing of the
sort occurred. Mr.. Roosevelt's ex.
pressive face took on plying and
kindly look, and bending down, b,
stroked the animals head and pulled
aim gently by the ears.
"Poor doggie, haven't you an,
mastef?" he inquired. Then he wen
back into the house, and the dog
with instructive understanding of tn,
situation, trotted close at his heels
The President ordered that the wal
should be taken to the kitchen anG
given good meal; and it is sait
that that dog will be the dog of th
White House during this admins
tration.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not one of thos
sportsmen who are satisfied will
popping away at tame pigeons. Whel
ne goes hunting he wants the excite
ment of killing dangerous viii,
beast. 1t will be good thing fo
his boy admirers to remember tha
the man who led the charge at Sal
Juan Hill was quite as ready to be
friend a homeless cur as to hun
cougars or grizzlies.
