Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-01-05

The present congress seems to be
following in the wake of the last ses-
sion--that is, doing nothing but"mon-
keying." The Force bill is now TAX
ing up all the time, yet there is but
little show of its becoming law.
There are few brave Republican
senator's who are fighting uobly to
down the damnable bill. They are
cursed by the ultra-partisans, but
thew have the backbone to stand up
and fight, nevertheless because they
know it is wrong, or because they
know its passage will certainly cause
the death of the Republican party.
Nevertheless, when it comes to vote,
they may vote for the bill, "because it
is a party measure" We hope not,
however.

WE picked up high-protection
Republican paper, the other day,
which, in one column, told its readers
that high protective tariff does not
raise the price of the article on which
the duty is paid; but, in another arti-
Gle, the editor said that sugar has
been placed on the free list; therefore,
the price of sugar is bound to come
down. Somehow or other, our Re-
publican friends can't make their sto-
ries hang together.

WILL BLACK STH TURI WHREf
A AOTtl Experiment BsiAg Aads By PhEicialS
in Pennsylvania.

An experiment which Is now being
made at Reading, Penn, will probably
add to medical literature the fact that
the skin Of q colored man engrafted upon
q white mans body will remain colored
instead Of turning white.
The experiment is being made by Pro-
fessor E. 2. Schumaker upon the body Of
Joe Soul, . white man who came from
Boston some months ago. For over two
years he has suffered from q large sore
on the calf Of his leg. Six weeks ago the
professor planted on the sore thirty pieces
Of skin taken from the arm Of Q white
man and eighteen pieces Of black skin.
All Of these have grown from their origi-
nal size, that Of q pins head, TO pieces
varying from an inch to two inches IN
diameter. The white skin seems to get
q little whittier, but the black retains its
color.
1t will be nearly year before the pro-
fsssor will make q report upon the sub
ject, and. in the meantime, the victim Of
the experiment will submit himself weekly
for examination, in order that the physi-
clans may determine the exact date Of
any change that may take place. This
is the first experiment Of the kind that
has ever been attempted.

this Cfomwellian war were greater than
any Of which history bears record since
the destruction Of Jerusalem by Titus.
Six hundred thousand Irish were slain,
not to speak Of the countless thousands
sent as slaves to the West Indies and even
to New England.
The story Of the defense Of Limerick in
1851 IL too well known to need much mo-
tice, and It would overpass the limits Of
this article to enter fully into It. The
English granted the free exercise Of re-
ligion, security Of person and property,
the use Of arms, the right Of suffrage, the
practice Of the trades and professions, and
other concessions 10 the Catholics.
But the ink with which they were writ
ten was scarcely dry when, with worse
than Punic faith, that treaty was vio-
lated. The penal laws then came into
playa diabolical invention, ingeniously
contrived for the complete debasement,
degradation and slavery Of the Irish
people.
Whether Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart,
Guelph or Brunswick, the result in view
was the same, the trail Of the serpent was
over them all, the aRgrandizement Of
England was to be reached, be the method
Of doing It against all the laws Of God, Of
justice or Of humanity,
However, with feelings Of pain and re-
gret one must admit that the Irish have
always nearly been guilty Of one preg-
nant crime, the spring Of countless woes
they never joined in love while others
joined in hate. II Irishmen at any time
became united. II they sank their petty
little differences, orange and green would
long since have carried the day and Ire
land instead Of being the "Niobe Of ma
tons" would be, as she yet will be, q
great, free, prosperous republic.
The actions Of Gladstone, Parnell,
O'Brien and all the so-called liberal lead
ers will not be worth a pinch Of snuff to
the toiling masses in either England or
Ireland until both countries, independent
Of each other, adopt that pure, simple and
God-given form Of government which
France now enjoys.
Why should not that form Of govern
ment established here by the immortal
Washington be good enough for every
nation in this wide world
All Irishmen should remember that the
cause Of Ireland to-day is the cause Of
justice and Of liberty-the same cause Of
that for which the Washingtons, Mont
gomerys, LaFayettes, Sullivans, Barrys,
Fitzgeralds and countless others fought
and bled for on, this free American soil
over one hundred years ago. But mock
patriots who prefer self, pelf or pride to
country should not be made IDOLS
