In n letter written a short time before he cast that inexplicable vote against the annexation of Hawaii. Congressman Crumpacker wrote a to the Monon News, for publication, in which occurred this sentence: “Speaker Reed, who in my judgment is far the ablest man connected with the administration is decidedly opposed to the annexation, and he has -a great deal of support,” And yet, Speaker himself had not the nerve to openly defy the almost unanimous sentiment of the Republicans of the country to the extent of voting against Hawaii, but took occasion to be absent when the vote was taken. As to the “great deal of support” the speaker has in his coufse in this respect, it is shown by the fact that only three Republicans Congressmen in the whole House could be found to vote against annexation —and of these three one was Henry U. Johnson, of Indiana, who of late years has become a more pestilent crank than ever Objector Holman was, in his pdmiest days, and the Republicans of his district ure too disgusUd with him to even mention his nntue. Another of these three was some obscure nobody, from Ohio, and the third" man was— Crumpacker!

The “great support” that Mr. Heed Ims iti his course in this matter has been further shown by the action of the Republicans of Maine, both at their state and congressional conventions. Tim. for the first time in years, there was absolutely no mention of Mr. Reed’s name. Not support but almost universal disapproval is whnt the Republicans of Maine tmw give to their once favorite son. In this connection The Republican tet Is bound to denounce and disavow, for the Republicans of Jasper at lentt, the gratuitous and insulting fiing at President M Kinle; .contained in Mr. Crumpucker’s statement, "Speaker Reed ia far the ablest man connected with ti e administration.” This remark is a gross insult, not only to the administration, but to the masses of the Republict.n | hr'y. who in overwhelming M.t.i baity ci ose Mr McKinley as tir •ai ohi. te, in preference to

Mr. Reed, and every other leader, in 1896. The argument that this country ought not to take the Hawaian Islands, or even, if future, circumstances render it necessary, even the Phillipin.es, because it will commit us to a policy of ‘ imperialism” and land grabbing throughout the world, is the merest nonsense. The time when this nation could have inaugurated such a policy of grabbing has gone by. from *Hae simple reason that there is no longer any considerable extent 1 of territory left for us to grab. We might takeallof Spaift’s outlying possessions; but after that where is there any further opportunity for territorial extension? England has taken pretty nearly everything in sight in the way of islands in the seas; and what England has not gobbled, Germany and France have. * There is surely no one in his senses who believes we are likely to attempt to wrest from any of those great nations any of their foreign possessions. Nor is there any possible danger of our attempting to take even from weakernntions like Holland or Denmark any of their colonies; for we will never interfere with any colony that is governed with wisdom and justice. As to the continental divisions of the earth, there is no place left in them whatever, fora new comer to enter the land grabbing game. At least none that could in the least tempt the people of the United States. Africa is parcelled out among the great nations of Europe. South America is possessed and governed by its own people, and nothing is more unlikely that this nation would ever have the least disposition to disturb the territorial integrity of any of them. As to Asia, that is also pretty well taken by the nations of Europe, and what is not, we could not get if we would and would not if we could.

Crumpacker Should Resign.

If the feelings of the patriotic Republicans of Jasper county is a fair index of the tenth district generally, and we are convinced that it is, it will be useless to attempt to re-elect Mr. Crumpacker this fall, and the right and proper thing to do will be to induce him to resign his place on the ticket, or failing that, to have the congressional committee declare the nomination off, and to call a new convention. The Republicans here feel that Mr. Crumpacker, in voting against Hawaii at the time he did, mul preceding that unpardonable act by the public explanation he made, has betrayed not only the Republican party, but the nation itself. To have gone against the almost universal sentiment of his party, and of the most patriotic and broad minded element of all other parties, heretofore, on this question, would have been bad enough; but to go against that sentiment now when the exigencies of war have brought home to our people as never before, the necessity of taking these freely j offered islands, as a measure of national defense—is unpardonable. There wns no one part of Cleveland's most unpopular administra- | tion so universally condemned by the Republicans nor so generally by the Democrats, ns his hauling down the American Hag at Hawaii. ; And there was no act in the official life of Walter Q. Gresham which , did so much to wreck and destroy his former good fame ns his sup- | port of President Cleveland in that ! matter.

But at the time Cleveland ordered the ting down, the necessity of its being up there was not half so ; apparent as now, when Crumpacker votes for it to stay down. Let us put the ffag up and let us put Crumpacker down. It is I the only course left for the Republicans of the tenth Indiana district consistent with true patriotism to the country and true fealty to j the most patriotic party that ever swnved the destinies of our nation.
