Hurting Missouri.

Nothing could better illustrate the
harm that Ia being done to Missouri by
the misrepresentation of the Globe
Democrat than the blindness with
which certain country papers repeat
and spread the ISLANDERS. Getting their
information from the chief party organ.
they accept the calumnies of the Globe
without investigation and with little
care for the truth.
An instance of this occurs In the Jop-
lin NeWs-Herald. Following out the
statements of the Globe. this paper re-
fers to ''incompetent management of
the States finances" The necessity
for summoning experts to examine the
books is said to have arisen from the
fact that the books had not been hon.
tator of the Globe, the claim is made
that Rolla Wells would not have been
elected Mayor of St. Louis except for
the so-called Nesbit law.
ALI of which is untrue, as the Globe
well knows and the Joplin paper would
know if the facts in the case were in
vestigated. The expert examination
of the books was made as the result of
the ISLANDERS of the Globe, which had
presented q number of ''discrepan-
cies," prepared by an anonymous sex
pert" who to this day has refused to
reveal his identity. And as for Mayor
Wells's election, every Republican of
standing in St. Louis ia willing to ad-
NIT that he received an honest majority
over either of his competitors,
As far as the Globe is concerned,
there has been a practical acknowl-
edgement of the untruth of its first
charges against the integrity of Mis-
souri, officials. Representative Repub-
lican editors in St. Joseph at a State
convention refused to stand the re-
sponsibility of making the State debt
an issue. But until the more reckless
and preiudiced papers of the Republi-
al stripe are disciplined into similar
prudence Missouri will have to suffer.

A Prophecy That Failed.

In the campaign of 1900 the repub-
lican leaders denied that their party
contemplated a permanent increase in
the standing army. They asserted
that a large army was only necessary
because of the insurrection in the Phil
ippines, and they boldly declared that
the insurrection would cease immedi-
ately If the republican ticket was sue
cessful. The democratic platform and
democratic speakers were blamed for
the prolongation Of the war. ''Just
re-elect President Mckinley" they
said, land let the Filipinos know that
they are o to have Independence.
and they will lay down their arms and
our soldiers can come home"
Well, the republican ticket was
elected, and the Filipinos were notified
that they were not to have independence,
but a month after the election the re-
publicans rushed through congress a
bill authorizing the president to raise
the regular army to 100000, and now,
after a year has elapsed, the iusurrec-
tion is still in progress and the end is

the year have been suffered by our
troops within two months. General
Chaffee reports that the Filipinos have

AND DOW Mrs. Harrison and Mrs.
Mckinley are to be granted pensions
not because they need financial aid.
but from the excess of liberality the
average congressman has in spending
the peoples money. The practice OF
building up a preferred pension list
may be in accordance with the mon
archical idea thai it makes the govern
ment stronger and more permanent,
but it is decidedly out of place in a
republic. The rulers OF the Old World
take place by divine right and the
common herd are their subjects; in
America the people are supposed to
govern, and those to whom they give
preferment are theoretically held as
servants, honored in being chosen as
such. But what a wide gulf yawns
between theory and practice!

AT a recent dinner given by a British
society in honor of King Edwards
birthday, Maj.-Gen. John r. Brooke
of the United States army said. among
other things: s'England has never
conquered any country but for that
country's good. This we hope will be
said of America in future ages. The
Auglo-Saxon race seems destined to
bear republican institutions through
out the whole world. Lord Kitchener
has mems difficulties in his way,
but the flag of England will in time
proclaim freedom to all the lands OF
South Africa. Otis, Merritt, Mac
Arthur and Chaffee have been doing a
similar duty in the Philippines, the
same duty TO God and country" Ii
the conquest of the Beers by England
will be '':or that country's good"
would not the conquest OF the Ameri-
can Colonies in 1875 have similarly
blessed this country Out upon such
sycophancyi Gen. Merritt some time
ago fouted the American Constitution
as q thing of the past; now Gen.
Brooke, imbued with the aristocratical
ideas of the Old World, asserts that
a Republic destroyed by fire and sword
is for the benefit of a fool people who
hold that God has given them the
right to govern themselves. What
Gen. Merritt and Gen. Brooke have
taught themselves to believe is of little
or no moment, except as it represents
the thoughts and feelings of the army
up~per-class. But the people who feed
and clothe these servants may do we'll
to pause aud consider whether the
creatures they are training for their
defense against outside foes may not
in time turn and rend their keepers.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.


/ asked Mic Comelins, one of the
wits of the Merchants Exchange, for
a story the other day.
What kind of a story do you want?'
said Mic.
"a story with a moral, if you hap
pen to think of such a one," I replied.
He thought of the matter a moment
he doesn't have to search long for an
idea-and then he spun the following:
There was a hunter out in a forest
who came suddenly upon a huge SER
pent, lying in the sun that filtered
through the foliage of the towering
trees As 500 as the hunter saw the
reptile he resolved to kill it. About
the same time the serpent concluded
to make it's escape. Il made for q
narrow opening between two rocks,
and slid within-all but a few inches
of its tail. the opening being too shall
low to admit the whole body. Seeing
this the hunter seized it by the tail
and yauked 1t forth, and then seeking

ExtortiOn by a Coal Trust.

The American people are consider
ably interested ia the coal question
and many of them will naturally con-
graduate any one who has been able
to purchase coal at a reasonable price.
The Chicago Tribune is responsible for
the statement that the German en-
peror has placed orders in America for
800, 600 tons of anthracite coal. The
price which Emperor William will pay
is from 1925 to 81 90 less than the
Chicago business man must pay for his
coal. The contract is that the coal
must cost o more than So. so a ton at

proEted by the deception practiced up
on them when Aguinaldo vas trapped.
He says that ..insurgent soldiers in
ordinary civilians dress lurked about
the American garrisous," and he adds
that with deceptive cunning they OBJ
tanned credentials from American
authorities" We were assured a year
ago that only a small fraction of the
FilipInos were hostile to the American
government. We were told that the
great majority of the Filipinos well
come the American government and
were glad to be made subjects. The
Times Herald quotes General Chaffee
as saying that sthe whole people of
the Philippines are engaged in wag-
ing var upon the United States" The
TEmes-HerGld "a republican paper)
adds: 1.-The Filipinos VINO are friendly
to the United States are said to be
those holding Office, and the officers
who discussed the situation today as
sert that their loyalty will continue
only so long as they have the oppor-
tunity of drawing American dollars"
If Mr.. Mckinley was correctly in
formed when he stated hat most OF
the Filipinos were friendly, then the
in~surrection has, according to General
Chaffee, increased rather than dimin-
ished.
After the republican victory made
it impossible for the imperialists to
blame the anti-imperialists for the con-
tiruation of hostilities, the republican
declared hat Aguinaldo, actuated by
selfish ambition, was compelling his
countrymen to continue the war. But
even after his capture n imprison-
ment-yes. even after his captors had
secured from him an address advising
~rection continued. How long will it
take the imperialists to learn that we
can never have peace in the Philip
pine islands? That we can suppress
open resistance is certain. although the
cost may be far beyond any gain that
can be derived from a colonial govern
ment, but that we can ever make the
Filipinos love US or trust US while we
rule them through a carpetbag govern
ment, is absurd.
Ii the republicans had read the
speeches of Abraham Lincoln as much
recently as they did in former years.
they would have known that hatred of
an ALLEN government is natural thing
and a thing to be expected everywhere.
Lincoln said that it was God Himself
who placed in every human heart the
love of liberty. Lincoln spoke the
truth. Love of liberty is linked to life
itself, and s'what God hath joined to-
gether let no man put asunder. THE
Commoner.
