"HeIps Skin EN-"

Helps Skin EN-"
Jos. Irwin, an old time subscriber of
the Times, who believes that men who
SANDER the army in the Philippines
are the same sort that slandered the
boys In blue IN the rebellion, is calling
down the Northern Iowa Democrat in
great shape.-Howard County Times.
To cIiticise men like ssHell Roaring
Jake Smith is SANDER is it? To
mention Walters "Howling wilder.
ness" propogand is SANDER is it? To
condemn indiscriminate murder of old
and defenceless men, unprotected
women and everything over ten" is
SANDER is it? To protest against turn
ing a Iepublic, in effect, into an en-
pire is SANDER is it? To have the
courage of our convictions and with
the fathers of the Republican party
as well as the founders of the Repub-
lie, express our belief in the mortal
principles enunciated in tine Declara-
tion of Independence is SANDER is 1T?
To praise our "war for humanity" in
Cuba and condemn terminal agrees
sion in the Philippines is slanderis it?
Our opposition is not to the boys In
blue, If we do differ from Major Wal
Ter and General Smith. II criticism
of this is SANDER, what are we to call
the treatment which the Republican
press of the country, with few excep-
t1ons, has accorded to Gen. Miles and
Admirals Dewey and Schley?. They
have not only been at various times,
unmercifullyscored by leading republic
can papers, but have also been snub-
bed with a big S, blythe administra-
tion. They have tried to rob Schley
of his honor and fame. They have
plotted to GUST Gen. Miles, and de-
tered from doing so only because they
feared the effect Of popular sympathy
fer him which such action would
arouse. Dewey was prevented from
being made an envoy to Edward IS
Cornation because of his decision in
the Schley controversy. This, how
ever, was questionable snub. We
would prefer to call it an honor, but
1t was meant as snub.
We would remind the editor of the
Times that in his younger days he
shouldered his musket and went to
war in defense of the principles
veay same principles that he and JOS
Irwin are opposed to now-the princi-
pies of the constitution of the United
States, the principle of freedom as
opposed to slayery-in short, for all
the honorable, grand and exalted
principles that combine to make Re-
publican government superior to all
the monarchies, empires and colonial
governments on earth. But now-Oh
shades of Sumner, Lincoln, Washing
ton and Jefferson, we are to depart
from these principles and initiate the
"world wide empires" and the 'colo-
NAL powers" We-are to become a |
world wide empire" and of course do
Is all other wide world empires do.
According to Jos. Irwin we are to be-
come united to an empire because
male members of an effete aristocracy,
the moral and financial bankrupts
with mortgaged title marry a few
freckle faced daughters OF our multi
millionairs, who do SO not for love of
the daughters, not because of admira-
tion for our government, but because
they need cold cash to pay up their
debts in Europe, and the
daughters marry not for the love of
The Counts and no. accounts, but sim
ply for title. Yet Jos. Irwin soberly |
advances this as a reason why our
country and England will some day
become united, and the Times thinks
he's skinning us!-Northern Iowa
Democrat.
When the eyentpredicted and hoped
for by Mr.. Irwin and endorsed by the
Times becomes a reality, is this gov
eminent to become monarchy3 or |
the English government to become a
republic2 This may be an imperti-
nent question, but their endorsement
OF brutal English methods warrants
the suspicion that royalty dazzels
their vision.
