DOW Coroner J. I- LARKIN Surveyor GEORGE F. JIcN'AHXEY Ai'iiT 19 making a delightful rep utation for itself. The affair of Saturday ni-jbt was indeed a bluff flag raising. The anti-imperialistic convention at Indianapolis proves that all republi cans are not fooled by MeKinley's platitudes. Without attempting to cast rejec tion on tLe memory of a dead uian, it may be Maid that the death of C. 1. Huntington was a blow to the repub lican party. He died before making his usual heavy contribution to the rep ubhcan campaign limit. Dem'itk the dements of lawlessness that Taylor, Towers ami other? of the republican clique in Kentucky intro dueed and encouraged in the Blue Grass state, justice has not yet los its loot-hold there. J he jurv in the rowers complicity murder trial Saturday did not take long to agree upon its verdict. Atin; (iov. Walter Warder whc bv reason ot the absence from the tate of both Tanner and Northcott, is rving in the capacity of executive is having no end of trouble with thi lady managers of the Feoria Countv Industrial Schools for Girls, who de cline to honor his orders for tne re lease of certain of the institution's wards. "Acting governors don't count with us," declared one of the trustees discussing the matter. The law governing the institution is very defective, so much so that the boaid of supervisors if Peoria county under whose direct supervision it comes appoaled to the act ing epvernor to interfere in the enforcement of regulations that the board felt incompetent to handle Now the ladv managers sav that the acting executive has overstepped his authority, and Warder does not seem to be competent to judge whether he has or not. When Gov. Alsi hulcr gets in control in Illinois he will fix it so that it will uot so happen, as it has so frequently during the Janner Nort hrott-elegant-ease-regime, that he and the lieutenant governor will not take their vacations at the same time. These are hot days at Spring field, but the people expect some hardship to be endured bv their high llicials. There is no occasion for the absence of both Tanner and Northcott from the state at this time. Other people have to stand the heat, why should not at least one of those responsible for the government of the a:Tairs oi the commonwealth. J If.ffrr. There is great rejoicing in the re publican ranks because ex-Senator Pfeffer proposes to vote for Mckinley Now I'fetTer never voted the demo cratic ticket and never h id a drop of democratic blood in his veins. A re publican at heart, he left that party and joined the populists, first, for the purpose of obtaining olliee, and sec ond, for the reason that he was too small a man to make a showing in a p:rrty of respectable size. So soon as the populist pirty got strong enough to become a factor in politics he was out of his depth, and tumbling into the lirt hole he came to. naturally found himself la the republican prty. The republicans are welcoma to him and his whiskers. aiittee cannot deny it that Mckinley ha9 practically surrendered to Eng land territory that belonged to Ru9iia from 1S25 to 13G7, and to the United States from 1S67 until the English concocted their absurd claim. A modus yivendi that places thous ands of American citizens and their property under the British Hag with out their consent is not a stroke of diplomacy that will appeal overmuch to the patriotism of the American people. Do not imagine for a moment that England will ever gi?e up the terri tory thus obtained through our dip lomatic idiocy. Sir Louis Henry Davie, the Canadian minister, out lines England's attitude ia the fol lowing words: "Canada has not the slightest intention of allowing her original intention to relapse into obscurity." Having obtained a taste of the Alaska fowl, they now want the whole bird. The republican national committee has much ability as a ground and lofty explainer, without the use of a net. but they will have to use some thing more specific: thaa Senator Scott's denial before the people will believe it. It.is to ba hopei that after next November we will have a president in the White House who will cot allow the country to shrink in such a diplomatic wash. Between imperial expansion and assinine contradiction we are beset. A r liable Washington correspondent says: I have the anthority of the state department for saying that the pro tests of American miners concerning the boundary line now being estab lished between Alaska and British Columbia are not heeded, and that the survey will continue without in terruption." Hay isn't listening to the protests of mere Americans. An "-Kxplanatlon." The republican national committee rises with great dignity to explain the Alaka boundary land gift made by Mr. M.-Kin'.ey to England. Its spokes man is Senator Scott, of West Vir ginia. Here is the explanation: Instead of having ceded to Great Britain territoty as large as the state of Khidc Island, not one inch has ben surrendered t that country. Ua the other hand. England surrendered to us niaeteeu-twentieths of the land whose possession had tx-eu in dis pute." In other words, when England puts her rapacious baaa in our pocket and takes tJ-. we snould be grateful for the f 19 she consents to return, and allow her to keep the twentieth. Here is a new ratio with a vengeance. The plain, ugly fact of the matter js and the republican national com- Gettlng Keady to Stay. Notwithstanding all thedeelarations to the contrary at the outset of the invasion of China, as far a3 this coun try is concerned, signs even now ap pear of plans for an indefinite stay in the celestial kincrdnui. And in due time the excuse will be made that it was a proposition of which we could not in justice to the world let go. or that the American tlag must stay wherever it goes up, etc. We see in the admin istration pipers of the pist two days that the United States propose to hold the sword over China's head," and will "not recall the troops until demands are met and assurances of peace given." And. more than this the future policy of this government in the orient is to be determined by reports of officers." Meanwhile the country continues to rush troops to China, just as it did to the Philippines, while from within the wailed city comes the tidings that, not stopping with the rescue of the legations, tne sacred inner city is being stormed and looted. In all this the United States must, of course, participate under the present admin istration idea, or it might not get its share of whatever is to come iu mod ern empire building. w WANTED MALE HELP.
