or A MILITARY PEOPLE.

1--WE are not a military people, bent
on conquest, or engaged in extending
our domains in foreign lands, or de-
sirous of securing natural advantages.
however great, by force; but a people
loving peace, not only for ourselves.
but for all the nations of the earth.
1.-THE display of great military arma-
ments may please the eye and, for the
moment, excite the pride Of the citizen,
but it cannot bring the country the
brains, Drawn and muscle Of single
immigrant, nor induce the investment
here Of dollar Of capital. OF course.
such armament as may be necessary
for the security Of the country and the
protection of the rights Of its citizens,
at home or abroad, must be main
tanned. Any other course would be
not only false economy. but pusillani-
nous. I protest, however. against the
feeling. now far too prevalent, that
by reason Of the commanding position
we have assumed in the world, We
must take part in the disputes and
broils Of foreign countries; and that
because we have grown great We
should intervene in any important
question that arises In other parts Of
the world. / also protest against the
erection Of any such military establish
ment as would be required to maintain
the country in that attitude. We
should confine our international activi-
ties solely to matters in which the
rights of the country or Of our citi-
zens are directly involved. That Is
not situation Of isolation. but Of In
dependence. from Judge Parker's
speech of acceptance.1

ON A WAR FOOTING
President RooseveIt's Strenuous
Peace Policy Suspicious.


The question: Is the United States
being prepared for war? may well be
asked. Joseph Pulitzer in his open let
ter to PresidentsRoosevelt, says:
I'VE are spending more money now
OF our navy tscl az. ether country
in the world. except England; third
mora on our army than Australia
gary, with nearly 100000 men under
arms, and twice as much as Japan In
time OF peace. and more on army. navy
and pensions than is spent for the
same purposes by any Of the over
loaded military powers Of continental
Europe without exception. Our navy
is costing US sss.oOo,OO0 this year.
France. hitherto the second naval
power in the world. is spending $751;
100000 on hers. and Germany, er
your illustrious counterpart, the En-
peror. s5O,OOo.O00. On its face. our ac-
tiyity looks as IL we were preparing for
certain war.
I'VE are building thirteen battle
ships to England's ten, Germany's sew
en- and Frances six, and thirteen great
armored cruisers, practically battle
ships, to England's sixteen, Frances
six and Germany's two. We are just
finishing half dozen smaller cruisers.
We have more first-class battleships
already built than any other country
in the world except England. and the
English editor OF Brassey's Naval An
nual says that IN ten years at the pres
ent rate we shall displace Great Brit
ain us the first naval power Of the
globe. Yet you keep prodding us on.
How much do YOU want? Fifty years
ago our navy consisted Of few wood
en- frigates, and our peaceful merchant
fleets covered the seas, To-day we have
over 100000 tons of steel battleships
and cruisers, and our merchant marine
in the foreign trade has shrunk until
1t is hardly larger than the navy that
Is supposed to protect it."
81 am not speaking to Democrats
this is not a party matter. Your
schemes are personal, not partisan.
Your boosted Americanism is really
Europeanism. 1t is the very antithesis
of the true American spirit. You are
proposing to Europeanize our institu-
tions. Not content with the extraor-
binary increase in the powers and pat
ronage of the President Of the United
States, you propose to become prac-
tically the President Of the whole West
ern Hemisphere. The accidental head
of one republic. you would make your
self the head of twenty-one. In the
name Of James Monroe the strict con-
structionist of the Constitution, and
under a hypocritical pretense Of duty,
you assume prerogatives that would
turn Hamilton pale and that would
ma e Monroe rise in his grave. | de.
fly any of your euloglsts, from the brill
liant and distinguished Whitelaw Reid
downward, to show one line in the
writings of any previous President OF
any party justifying your proposed
suzerainty over the Western Henri
sphere. But II you fail to find any
warrant for your policy in the Consti-
tuition Of the United States or the
practice of your predecessors, you may
find it abundantly in the quarter from
which you borrowed the policy Itself
in Europe" [Jos. Pulitzer in New
York World.l

ST. Petersburg. Sept ia dispatch
has been received from Gen. kurupat-

kQmpff and Samsonoff are conducting
important reconnaisances which have
resulted In rather heavy lighting with
many casualties.
From Gen. Kuropatkin's telegram,
which was dispatched at o'clock Sun

Rennenkampff had recovered from his
wound and had resumed command Of

closed a further increase In the Jap

"The Japanese dispositions are COM

obtain information from behind this

the reconnaissance were towards the
