When this work Is done when tho founda.

an orderly government must bo erected and

generations of patient effort, n better race.
We cannot do all this ns wu would per

Philippines are not New Knglnnd. We aro
titling measures to conditions. All nttompts
of theoretical legislators to forcu upon con

conditions; mnps wcro his only manu

the direction of a road, wero of moro Im
portance to him than tho plans of theorists

throughout tho world.
Cuba's IntcrrstH Arc America's.
In Cuba, ns In the Philippines, the Amer
ican people will tnkn no counsel from doubts
and leura. Cuban interests nnd American
Interests, Cuban safety nnd American
safety, Cuban prosperity and American
prosperity are Identical In tho nature of
things. And when wo provide safeguards
against Cuban Indebtedness we nro not
conspiring ugalnst tho welfare of tho Cuban
people; we aro providing for tho welfare
of tho Cubnn people. When wo provldn

Cuban Independence; wo aro establishing
It nnd setting metes nnd bounds where all
Interference shall meet tho sentinel ot
American authority. When wo provide
that American guns from Cuban ports shnll
command tho entrances to tho gulf we are
not Impairing tho safety of the Cuban
people; wo are guaranteeing It by the blood
of every American soldier who mans our
Cuban garrisons pledged to be shod to the
last drop If need bo In defense of tho
Cubnn people. And when wo nrdnln that
at any ttmo Amnrlcnn authority may re
enter Cuba, to protect rights, property,
liberty Itself, wo do not demolish Cuban
liberty; we preserve nnd defend Cuban
liberty, becnusu we preserve nnd defend
order, law nnd Justlco. and order, Justice

Our Cuban legislation Is the most Im

Cuban legislation thus becomes plain to
the simplest mind. It Is a power which
concerns not Cuba only and tho prefent
hour, but the entire future nnd all the
world.
Trend of tUc Trusts,
Tho developments of business nro bring
ing to pass as actual realities thoe things
which, to the mere man of words, have
been noshing but hoped-for Impossibilities.
One of he most prosperous railroad com
panies of America Is making stockholders
of Its employes nnd llnds thnt the experi
ment pays. More than n hundred business
houses In tho United Stntcs are making
partners of their employes nnd find that
the experiment pays. He Is Indeed n
daring pesrnlt who denies that the stock
of tho mighty modern combinations of pro
tluctlon which control the necessities of
tho people will finally be held by the people
themselves small quantities In the hands
of each of n vast number of Individuals.
Instead of vast quantities In tho hands of
encn or a smau numner of individuals.
The Idea of co-operation Is working out
Its own realization.
American industrial evolution nnd Ameri
can Intcrnnttonnl relations are Interwoven.
Unt no mnttcr what tariff policy Is pur-
sueii our ijiiropran mnrKcis must com
paratively dlmln Ml. That Is. wlillo tliev
will Increase, they will not Increase In pro
portion to their growth In the past. Our
relative preponderance of trade with Ku
ropo cannot bo maintained. Tho reason Is
tnni mo European nations themselves will
moro nnu moro supply their own needs, be
cause they will mori nnd more ndopt
Amcrlcnn methods of Industrial nnd Jinan
elal combination, tariff rirotertlon nnd nil
those ways nnd means of commercial power
01 wincn America is master, tor tins rea
son tho trade of China nnd the wholo fnr
east becomes not only desirable but neces
sary to us. To this trade the Philippines
constitute tnc Key.
While America wants no part of China,
whllo America will decline to be an active
participant In China's commercial parti
tion. America will Insist unnn American ad
vantages being preserved In every province
of the Orient where any other power as
serts its inuucncc. America prcrers that tiio
Integrity of China, commercially as well
as politically, shall bo preserved and thnt
tho Anjr of the far east shall be kent mien
to every merchant nnd manufacturer of
every nation of the world on canal terms,
Hut America will not go to wnr to prevent
i;ngianu, ucrmnny, miasm, i ranco or any
other country from asserting their respec
tive snheres of commercial lntluenco in
China. America wants no war anywhere or
nt nny time when it can bo avoided without
sacrificing tho honor or Interest of tho
American people. All that America Is con
cerned In Is thnt when China's partition oc
curs tho door shall be kept open to Ameri
can goods, no matter how tightly it Is shut
against nny other nation. In this situation
the possession of the Philippines makes us
masters of tho game. It was not tho
method of Grant to surrender to the enemy
n strategic position once secured. Tho
ground he gained he held. Whuro Grant
planted tho Hag tho flag remained. It wus
a principle of American life which Grunt
announced when he declared, "Wo will
light It out on this lino."
Hon. John I,. Webster's Speech.
Hon. John L. Webster ot Omaha spoko an
"United States, the Nation of Destiny." Ho
said:
Tho United States o: America, young In
yenrs, senrco cnvorlng an hour's space lit
tho calendar ot time, with Its rapid nnd
spontaneous growth, with Its universal lib
erty and brotherhood of man, has nlrendy
surpassed old Knglnnd In trade, In com
merce, In the productions from the mills
nnd fnctorles nnd farms. Its development
has been the epic ot human progress. It
has mndo poetry of statistics and glorious
romance of history nnd become tho national
wonder of the world.
Was there not a destiny that watched
over tho slow-moving development of tho
human race, through the annals of time,
for a fitting period to create this republic
that rocked the cradle nt Its birth, 11 Provi
dence that has stood guard on the watch
tower of heaven during Its times of trial
and tribulation, nnd as the great epochs
passed, raising It higher In its own and In
tho world's esteem, and crowning It with
lncroascd grandeur nnd glory?
Somo years ago I heard Hlshop Fowler
Ray of revealed religion that In tho olden
Mosaic times there wns handed down to
mnn tho simple decnloguo as being nil the
pcoplo with their simple and untutored
minds were capable of understanding; that
centuries came und rolled away before the
conditions wero rlne for man to receive the
teachings of tho Nnznrlno nnd Ills congress
of apostles. Is not this sumo thought true
of tho government of the people? A repub
lic, cannoi do unless tncro exists an equal
ity nnd high degreo of Intelligence among
tho common people. A republic In olden
Arabia or Assyria, In Habylonla or Egypt
would bo a contradiction In thought. Hut
the old kept giving place to the new and
thu course of civilization moved westward
over the continent ot Uuropo until It
reached tho waters of tho Atlantic, n bnr
rler that fixed the limits of Its movements,
until In the fullness of time the American
continent should be revealed, the chosen
nlace where a new government should bo
established nnd where. In the language of
l'Jtnollo unstciar, mauKinn may plant, essay
und solve all social problems nnd work out
thu plan ot universal civilization.
Milked ti Ulil Civlllftittloii.
A few years ago. whllo driving through
tho streets of the old city of Genoa with a
Genoese for a companion, but with whom
conversation wns impossible, as neither of
us could speak tho language of the other,
wo came In sight of n magnificent bronze
monument, of heroic size, standing in an
open plaza, and ho repented the single
nnme, "Colombo," 'Colombo." I felt myself
suddenly conscious thnt there, on the soli
or ltniy, 1 wns in nioso contact wun me
oldest civilization which Is linked with our
own Amcrlcn. The Intervening yenrs slnco
Chrlstophor Columbus, with Intrepid spirit,
set out ncross tho unknown seas In search
of a continent, seemed but a brief span,
when compared with tho centuries slnco the
great nations of tho old world had renched
the zenith or tneir power nnu n civilization
In somo resnects a source of wonder to ub.
Then came overthrow and decay and there
rouoweu mo unrK ana miunio ages nor ore
civilization again began to break through
mo oaruarisms 01 ancient Kurope, nnu
with that period annearod the courageous
voynger, who was willing to sacrifice llfo
Itself If ho might bo allowed to provo that
his dream of n faraway and undiscovered
continent was a living reality. Was It not
destiny moving In 11 mysterious way Its
wonders to porform?
The rich nnd virgin soil of America held
out an Inviting hand to tho people of
Europe, but the spirit of emigration wns
wanting. There must needs come wnrs and
oppressions. Years slipped away and his
tory was recorded through decades In tho
old world before conditions were rlpo for
tho peopling, of tho now continent. Then
out of sorrow? nnd hardships, out of re
ligious strife nnd love'of ndventuro, thcro
grew tho deslru and purpose among all
sorts nnd conditions of men which has over
since turned the Inhabitants of tho old
world toward tho new ns the homo of free
dom nnd poBstblo fortune, fame and hnppl
ness, whero ambition need never be stifled
by servltudo nnd whero from tho humblest
beginning there might be nttalned the
crown and glory of true manhood,
lllrtli of Our Country.
From theso movliiK causos nnd theso
sources may be traced the birth of our
country. Since then tho tide ot emigration
(rum the decadent nations steadily kont
moving to this, the new government of the
people, until wo recognize ns among our
most patriotic citizens many whose ances
try bowed the knee to tho crowned heads
of Kurope, while they In the cycle of events
now 1111 tneir own nroaa ucres, tauor in
their own workshops and Jo 11 hands with
tho Amerlcnn of purest blood In tho up
building of the nation they aru nroud to
cull their own.
Such 11 race of pcopIo nre bound to win
In all tho contests whero energy plays n
part, wncro honor lias its field or opera
tion nnu where national glory is to no
achieved. As u nation we are but n century
anu a quartor out, yet we navo surpassed
nil Ideals and outrun nil prophecies. We
are wolcomod ns an ally nnd feared ns n
me, rscwnru was right wnen no saiu mat
out of our country, as out of Slnnl, wns to
bo sounded forth tho tidings nnd the trum
pets of reformation to nil tho nations.
Tho United Stntes In the fulfillment of Its
destiny stands In tho way of tho old arls
tocratlo governments extending their do
minions and has checkud their grnsplng
characteristics. Tho position of tho United
states on tho American" continent Is unique.
It occupies less than a third of North
America, and yet It dominates tho wholo
western hemisphere. It has said to nil
other nations of tho world: "You shall tako
no part of Central or South Amerlcn," and
yet It does not ask nny of It for Its own.
It has extended Its Influence over tho Pa
cific by holding tho Philippine Islands,
which give It a commanding position In
tho waters of the western ocean, it hns
said to the allied powers that, China was
not to bo disintegrated and that the people
of Asia shall govern themselves. Thoy
listened nnd acquiesced. What Is It thnt
plves to our country Its power and national
Inlluencc? What Is It thnt has made of us
tho youngest nation, the strongest and
noblest and purest nnd the best? It Is tho
principle upon which destiny founded our
country, n principle which It may be said
In tho language of -nother; "It Is brighter
than crowns. It Is stronger than scepters.
It Is higher than thrones. It Is longer
ranged than cannon, It 1 sharper than
swords and bayonets, it Is more august
than an army with banners, it marches
while armies sleep. It conquors when
armies fall. It floats where navies sink. 1 It
Is the shield of the weak. It Is the glory of
the strong. It Is the riches of the poor.
It Is the faith and hope nnd uplift of tho
oppressed. It Is subtler thnn policy. It Is
right and It Is the destiny of nations."

DES MOIN'KS. April 27. (Special.) Tho
primary election In Polk county today was
of state-wide Interest because of tho fact
that It Is the home county of Major K. II.
Conger and because two of tho avowed
candidates for governor nre residents of
tho county. Their names wcro placed on
tho ballots nnd the republicans voted for
either Sidney A. Foster or A. II. Cummins.
The Cummins men have been asserting all
along that thoy would have tho county al
most solid, that Foster would not carry
moro than two or three precincts, and that
every delegate to the stnto convention
would bo named In the Interest of Cum
mins. Tho Foster people did not tnnko such
strong claims, but said they would carry a
majority of the townships and have nt least
a third of tho delegates to the county con
vention and that they would bo able to
name twenty of tho sixty-four delegates to
tho republican stato convention. Conse
quently tho primary In this county was
ono of tho most Interesting In tho history
of the county nnd Its result will have an
Important hearing on tho canvass for gov
ernor In the state.
Returns tonight Indicate that Cummins
will have a solid delegation from Polk
county to the stato convention. Foster has
secured but seven or eight precincts In the
county and will not be nblo to control nny
district. Primaries In Story county today
wcro also carried by Cummins.
I'oruer for t.nrnr Amount.
It wns discovered today that Charles
Dlackmnn, a young business man of Ida
Grove who committed sulcldo a few days
ago, wns forger tor a largo amount. Ills
father Is a wealthy banker nt Knrly, Sac
county, and Charles made out notes In his
own favor to which ho forged the nnme of
his father nnd various other persons ns In
dorse rs. He sold these notes nt various
banks. Invarhbly they wore for $2,000
each, nnd the aggregate which ho had thus
received was about $21,000.
Ono bank in Ida Orovo holds $1,000 of tho
forged' rapcr and banks In Des Molncs were
caught for $8,000. Somo of tho Indorsements
on tho notes were gcnulno and Individuals
will bo losers. Ho tried to sell ono note
to n bank In Ma Orovo tho tiny ho killed
himself. Sixteen thousand dollars worth ot
tho pnper would como duo fn n tow days,
niackman was 35 years old and his suicide
was a surprise Ho had never been bus
pectrd ot spending so large an amount cf
money.
Ciniger Ileeeptlon I'lnus.
The plans for tho Conger reception and
special train across Iowa arc completed.
Tho committees met today and decided upon
nil unsettled matters. Tho special train to
meet Conger will start from tho Hock
Island depot In Des Molncs nt 7:45 a. in.
Wednesday, an will run through to Coun
cil muffs ns rapidly as possible. A rate of
$3 for tho round trip has been secured, but
passengers from the west may come to Des
Molncs on the train tor $2 and return home

A lnrgo number of women will go from
Des Molncs on tho special train. It Is ex
pected that thu train will start bnck from
Council muffs ns early In tho afternoon ns
posslblo after tho reception In Council
DIuffs, which will bo a stato affair. Stops
will be made along tho way and speeches
delivered, but tho reception In Dos Moines
will not be given until Thursday. It wns
much desired that the Conger train should

Is out ot tho question.
