IMPERIALISM DFAIKD.
In h!s speech at Canton, yesterday, the
' President made an adroit attempt to
create the impression that the policy of
• his party in respect to the Philippines
| is not imperiaPsm. In the course of his
! remarks he said; “The Republican par y
was dedicated to freedem forty-four years
ago. Jt has been the party of liberty and
emancipation since that hour; not of pio-
Rssion, but of performance. It broke the
shackles of 4,000.000 slaves.and made them
free and to the party of Lincoln has
come another supreme opportunity which
it has brave y met in the liberation of
10,<00,00) of the human family from the
yoke of imperialism. in its solution of
great problems, in its performance of high
duties, it has had the support of members
of all parties in the past and confidently
invokes the:r co-opera ion in the future.”
The President has overlooked the fact,
apparently, that the 10,1MP.000 Filipinos do
not understand that they have been en
tirely released from the yoke of imperial
ism They think the yoke undr which
they are now held is a yoke of imperial
ism, but little if any less objectionable
than the one from which they were releas
ed. They know they are not to have the
s imp rights undrr the constitution of the
United FtaUs that ri linens cf the Ameri
can Union have, but are to be governed
as Congn ss may direct. They cannot un
derstand why this is not imperial Ism,
pure and simple. And there arc a good,
many American citizens who cannot un
derstand why it isn’t.
In his Canton spe ch the President took
occasion to say. what the Republican
platform fails to say. namely, that Con
gress is clothed with ample power to
govern territ ry that belongs to the Unit
ed States, that the constitution does not
follow t he flag.
The manner in which the President dealt
with the Philippine question indicates that
he sees many difficulties in the way of a
successful defense of the Philippine pol- ,
icy of his party. The Philippines were
colonies cf Fpa n. ar.d the President says
they v ere released from imperialism by
the party of which he is chief. What is it
that that party proposes now? To make
the Filipinos freemen, citizens of the
United States or an independent people 9
Nothing of the kind. It proposes that they
shrill b co’onists of the United States,
just as the> were colonists of Spain. It
docs not pro; that they shall come
within he jurisdiction of the constitution
uf the United States, but that (hey shall
!>•■ governed by Congress.
If this is not the essence cf imperialism
what is it? Hut the Democratic party is
not opposing the Philippine policy of the
Republican party simply because it denies
liberty to the Filipinos, but mainly be
cause of its effect upon the institutions
of the United States. Its tendency is to
make t he character of the government im
perialistic. The concern of the Democratic
party is for the 73,000.000 of American free
men who are now enjoying the blessings
of a government of the people by ttie peo
ple and for the people.
NOT A DEAD ISSIE.
Notwithstanding the fact that Repub
lican leaders and newspapers have been
saying that the silver issue is a dead 4--
sue, Mr. McKinley devoted the greater
part of the speech he delivered yesterday
at Canton, <_)., upon the occasion of the
visit of rhe committee appointed to notify
him of his nomination for President, to
the money question and the 16 to 1 idea.
If lie and hif* party consider it a dead is
sue, why did he devote so large a part
of his speech to if? Asa tnatter of fact,
neither he nor the Republican loaders re
gard it ns a dead issue. All the indica
tions are that they intend to do their ut
most to make it the ie-tutlng issue of the
campaign. The people may not be so
much interested in it as they were in
but that they are interested in it
there is no doubt.
In the course of his speech Mr. Mc-
Kinley said: “Unforunately the threat of
ISfv.i has just been renewed by the allied
parties without abatement or modifica
tion. The gold bill has been denounced
and its repeal demanded. The menace of
16 to 1, therefore, still hangs over the
country with all of its dire consequences
to credit and confidence, to business and
industry. The enemies of sound currency
arc iallying their scattered force*. The
people must once more unite, and over
come the advocates of repudiation, and
must not relax their energy until the bat
tle for public honor and honest money
shall again triumph.”
This does not look as if the silver issue
is dead, or that the Republicans consider
it dead. On the contrary it justifies the
conclusion that, so far as they can con
trol the political situation, the Repub
licans intend to make the silver issue, the
most prominent issue of the campaign.
They believe that they will have a better
chance to win with that issue than with
any other.
It is r.ot by any means certain that they
will succeed in iheir purpose. The Dem
ocrats may concentrate their fire so
strongly on imperialism that the Repub
licans will have to take the defensive on
that issue. In that event they will have
very little time to give to the silver is
sue. After all, however, the people will
determine the issue. Just at present they
seem to be interested in questions which
have come to the front since the wnr with
Spain, particularly as to whether this
country shall remain a republic or. by
exercising Imperialistic powers, become an
empire.

THE JESTER MURDER TRIAL.
The Jester murder tilal, which is in pro
gress at New London, Mo., promts s to
I be unique in the court annals of this
| country. The alleged murder was com
j mined nearly thirty years ago, and the
defendant A. J. Jester is now upwards of
seventy-five years old. The victim of the
crime, if crime there was, was Gilbert
Gatf-s? elder brother of John W. Gales, the
steel and wire millionaire. For a number
of years John \V. Gates has relentlessly
pursued the track of the man who, he he
lp ves. killed his brother, and when Jester
was arrest*d not lr.ng ago, under the nam*
of Hill. Mr. Gates confronted him and
charged him with having murdered Gil
ber/ Gates. Jester neither affirmed nor
denied the charge
In the winter of 1870, Gilbert Gaps, then
about 20 years old. start* and to return from
Kansas to his old home in Illinois. He
drove a team of horses to a wagon, and
was accompanied by a shepherd dog. In
the wagon there were household effects, a
breech-loading rifle and articles of cloth
ing. Young Gates wore an open-faced s l
ver watch with a peculiar chain. At Fori
Scott Gates fell in with Jester, who was
♦ raveling by tram in the same direction.
After they had traveled together for some
iittle distance, they camped one night
near Middle Grove, a few miles from
Paris, Mo. Gates was never seen
after that night. The day following Jes
ter was s*en driving one team and lead
ing the other. Gates’ dog was found dead
at the camp, lie had been shot. Persons
who saw Jester driving one team and
leading the other said they saw what ap
peared to be a man asleep or drunk in
the second wagon. This was in the dead ,
of winter, and the Missouri river was
frozen over. It is the theory that the body
in the wagon was that of Gates, and that
Jester cut a hole through the ice and
pushed the body into it. At all events flie
body was never discovered. Later Gates’
father is said o have identified his son s
horses in Jester’s pasture, his sbifs
watch and chain in Jester's possession
and his son's hat on the head of one of
Jester’s nephews. Jester was arrested.
When placed upon trial at Paris, Mo., he
secured a change of venue to Mexico, Mo.
At the letter place he broke jail and dis
appeared. That was in 1872 He not
spettfd again until last June, when he
wrote a letter to his sister which led to
his arrest in Oklahoma. It is said that
the sister to whom he wrote, and who
gave the letter to the authorities, was
once die sweetheart of Gates, the mur
dered man.
During the past twenty-eight years it
seems Jester has been leading a
checkered life. At the time of the murder
he. had a wife and several children in
Kansas. After ids escape from jail he
went to Texas, where he married and his
wlfs had several children. Then in 1881) he
left his Texas wife and went to Okla
homa, where he mariicd still another wo
man. He got a divorce from her, how
ever, but within four mon hs was married
the fourth time. It is said he was about
to he married still again, when his s-isier
wrote to the sheriff of Sedgwick county,
Kansas, giving the information which led
to his arrest. He is said to be an intelli
gent, rather attractive looking man. with
a ministerial cast of countenance and
manner of dres. With his white hair and
flowing b<ard cne would take him to be
t
a preacher rather than an accused mur
derer. He quotes scripture frequently and
is full of wise saws and modern instances.
John W. Gates has had a dozen detec
tives employed ever jinoe the arrest of
Jester, sifting every particle of evidence
bearing: upon (he case to be found in half
a dozen states. So far, however, it is said
the detectives have been unable to even
establish that there, was a murder com
mitted. The trial is likely to last from
six weeks to two months.
MH. CHOKER AND THE SILVER
ftI'ESTIOV.
It is very unfortunate for the country
that Mr.' Richard Croker of New York
did not devote his powerful mind to the
study of the silver question long ago. If
he had done so there is a probability that
It would now be settled and out of the
way. In an Interview in New York on
Tuesday he said that he had been giving
some attention to the silver question late
ly and was surprised to find that the
problem it presented was so easy to solve.
Continuing, he is quoted as having said:
"The distrust which some persons have
of silver proceeds from Ignorance. They
think it is a sort of bugaboo. When they
study the question thoroughly they will
vote Tor Mr. Bryan. As for the ratio
of 16 to 1, that is something which per
sonally I think Congress ought to estab
lish every four years."
No doubt financiers and politicians and
statesmen In all parts of the country who
have heard Mr. Croker’s solution of this
troublesome question are wondering wily
they never thought of this solution. Of
course, they will agree with Mr. Croker
that they were too ignorant to think of
it. Even Mr. Bryan does not seem to
have thought of it, because he will not
agree that Congress shall have anything
to do with fixing the ratio. He insists
upon 16 to 1. Congress might think it
advisable, if it decided to do anything
about the ratio, to deal with it as a mer
cantile question, tlxing the ratio in ac
cordance with the market values of gold
and silver; but even Congress would hard
ly agree with the Croker view that the
ratio should be established every four
years. That would give the silver dollar
so many different money values that it
would require a person to have a renntrk
nble memory to keep up with ail of them.
If Mr. CrokcTs plan were adopted there
never would he a settlement of the silver
question. The rise and fall In the price
of silver bullion would keep It alive.
There would he no danger then of its be
coming a dead question. It Is fuir to
suppose that Mr. Croker has received con
gratulations front many parts of the
country on his silver question solution.

Ct'H KENT COMMENT.
Thp New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
snyr: "Our army needs are dictated, first
ly. by the garrisons required for our sea
coast defenses and larger garrison posts
scattered through the country, and. sec
ondly. by the extent of our possessions
beyond seas. If Cuba and the Philippines
are given their Independence, our need of
a large standing army will be reduced to
a minimum. The army leaders ought to
have learned by this time that the Ameri
can people are opposed to a large army,
and favor the fostering of the national
guard and militia as the nucleus of a
large volunteer force in the event of
war."
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.)
says: "The independent voter will decide
this contest, as he has decided previous
contests, and it is reasonably plain that
lie has not yet decided how he will vote,
lie will, as a fact, take four months to
consider the subject in. and when he de
cides he will not be likely 10 take any one
lmo his confidence. The independent
voter is a man who does his own thinking
and voting, and he cannot readily lie
gulled by prosperity clap-trap or Hough-
Rider nonsense.”
The Cincinnati Commercial (Dem.)
says "The great enthusiasm about the
Kansas CUy Convention is about the plat
form. It is seldom that a declaration of
principles attracts so much attention.
The plonk on Imperialism was a cent, r
shot. It is strong enough to carry a
ticket through, evert If it were not ti very
strong ticket, and is well calculated to
make people forget things, in the plat
farm they do not like."
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
"Senator Hanna regards ii as very amus
ing that the Democrats should discrimi
nate hetweeu expansion and imperialism.
It must strike on Ohio Republican poli
tician as queer for anybody to worry over
the difference betweMi good and evil."
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.l says: "We ought to rescue the
American citizen in China first. The in
ternational problems cart be considered
afterward.”
\ stor> of Whistling nnd Been.
Henry Fitch, a young farmer living at
Mountain End, invited death for
and his two oxen the other day by whis
tling, says the St. Louis Republic.
Young Fitch is a whistler of much abil
ity. He has whistled at every farm house
and every gathering in the neighborhood,
and when he is w nitling nobody cares to
limen to piano, violin, flute, guitar or
banjo.
The oh<r day Fitch was ploughing in
hi field—ploughing and whistling. Two
sleek, sleepy oxen were drawing the
plough, and neither they nor Fitch paid
any attention to anything but the plough
ing and the whistling.
Presently a swarm of thousands of honey
bees hovered over them. There was no
11^ •* 'o run—siill less to fight them, and
Fitch simply kept on whistling and plough
ing while the bees settled softly upon him
and the oxen. They seemed friendly
enough as long as Fitch whistled, and
Fitch admits that he was willing to
w histle as long as they remained friendly
and seemed inclined to listen.
Fitch continued to plough along. His
patch led toward his home, where he
could see his mother in the yard. He
caught the tails of the oxen and held
them so the beasts might not anger the
bees by switching them. For the distance
of half a mile ho held those two oxtails
and whistled.
His mother looked up and saw him. He
and his oxen looked like they might l>e
covered with a‘soft, brown fur. Fitch
stopped whistling just long enough to
shout “bees,” and then continued his
team without the bees realizing that he
had dropped a note*
Mrs. Fitch acted at once. She knows
something of bees and realized that unless
she got them hived in short order they
would probably sting her son to death. For
she argued that he could not keep on
whistling forever.
So she got a huge tin pan and began
beating it vigorously. The bees stirred
uneasily at this interruption of their con
cert, but they did not sting, and after a
lew moments every one of them rose in
the air and started toward the tin pan.
Mrs. Filch led the way to an empty hive
which had luckily been prepared for an
other swarm, and. by dint of much heat
ing and coaxing, got all the bees into it.
Fitch stopped whistling, sat down flat
on the ground, and mopped his face. The
sleek, lazy oxen switched their tails vigor
ously to make up for lost time.
Not Piety, lint I'ork.
The following bit of non-conformist hu
mor is taken from “The Farringdon,” an
English romance. The speakers are Mrs.
Bateson and Mrs. Hinkey, worthy wives,
but not altogether above feeling a certain
pleasure in showing up the ways of hus
bands .
“They’ve no sense, men haven’t,” said
Mrs. Hankey, that's what’s the matter
with them.”
“You never spoke a truer word, Mrs.
Hankey,” replied Mrs. Bateson. “The
very best of them don’t properly know the
difference between their souls and their
stomachs, and they fancy they are n
wrestling with their doubts when really
it is their dinners that are a-wrestling
wiih them.
“Now', take Bateson hisself.’ c’ontinued
Mrs. Batesofa. “A kinder husband or bet
ter Methodist never drew breath, jet so
sure as he touches a bit of pork he be
gins to worry hisself about the doctrine of
election till there’s no living with him.
And then he'll sit in the front parlor and
engage in prayer for hours at a time
until 1 say 10 him:
“ ‘Bateson.’ says I, ‘l'd be ashamed to
go to the Loro with a prayer when
a pinch o’ carbonate of soda would set
things straight again.’ ”
Lincoln’s Strung'- Wooing.
Lincoln’s wooing and wedding are of so
peculiar a nature that they deserve no
tice in the annals of his remarkable life,
as throwing a side light upon one aspect
of his character with w’hich the general
public is wholly unfamiliar, says Collier’s
Weekly. This peculiarity can only be ex
plained by his disordered- state of mind
when he became- acquainted with Miss
Mary Todd in 1839. His wooing was a
series of morbid misgivings ns to the
force of bis affections, of alternate ardor
and coolness, advances and withdrawals,
and every variety of strange language
and freakish behavior, continued until the
appearance of his omnipresent political
rival, Douglas, in the field of love, gave
it the much needed matrimonial impetus.
But when, after several months of court
ship. the wedding day arrived, the bride
waited vainly amid her silks and flowers
for the recalcitrant lover. Friends dis
covered him on the morrow, hidden in an
out-of-the-way corner, if* not inaaue, at
least sunken in one of those absorbing fits
of despondent gloom from which he suf
fered at that time. Months later, when
he was quite recovered, the wedding took
place, this ‘time with much less ostenta
tion, thanks to the former ridiculous per
formance.
Told l*> Adlici Stevciittnn.
Adlai K. .Stevenson. Democratic candi
date for Vice President, gave prohibition
states a backhanded slap at a banquet
given to him by the State Bar Association
last year, when no wine was served, says
a Sioux City dispatch in the New York
Sun. He was called upon to respond to a
toast, and said that he was not prepared
to make a speech, hut would tell them a
story about a man who struck a small
prohibition town in the state of Maine,
bringing with him an abiding thirst.
There being no saloon he tried a drug
store. There he was told that he could
get whisky only 011 a physician's prescrip
tion. He consulted a physician, but got
no relief, and desperately asked: “What
am I going to do about it?”
The doctor said there was a nest of
snakes not more than a mile and a half
fiom town. If he could manage to get
bit by a snnke he would have to have
whisky as an antidote, and the doctor
would make out the prescription. The man
with a thirst started off to the snake cave.
An hour and a half later he returned,
tired, dimty and disconsolate.
“Well, did you do as I told you?” in
quired the doctor.
“My dear sir,” replied the man with the
thirst, “I called on the snakes, but dis
covered that every one of them had their
bites engaged lor six months ahead.”

Sockless Jerry Simpson has h<en one of
the most interested spectators at this con
vention. s i.vs the Niw York Sun’s Kansas
City Convention spec al. but nobedy has
been aide to find him except when the
c invention was in se sin. The reason II a;
the ‘Sockless" one could not be found
except at convention time was because
ho tabooed the hotels and put tit* in an
OUt-of-’.he-way boa: ding hulls-. The las:
experience the "Secklets" <.:,e had with a
hotel was In S-ioux Falls. lie. arrived there

said to the gentlemanly clerk:

“Upv i.’ty-flve etn s, Mr. Simpson," re

'Holy Mos. s!" exclaimed Bm sot
"What will it < st to take my name off
thy register?"
“Fifty cents,” said the cl rk without
ever cracking a sntlle. and the "Sockless''
one threw down a half dollar and went out
of the hotel.
