CASTE MUST GO.

The particular protest of this age is
against caste, whether of heredity, of
political preferment or of wealth.
Without it's humanity the world is
nothing. So long as law is necessary
for the regulation and government Of
human affairs the people of the world
are arriving at the determination that
+ every individual shall stand as an
equal before that law. This protest
against caste originated with the An
glo-Saxon whose ideas are soon to gov
ern the world, which is TO become re
publican from Egypt to the Pacific
ocean and on around TO Egypt again.
In an article in the August number
of the North American Review Sir
Walter BeSant takes occasion TO throw
a few boquets at the English-Speaking
people CT the world by showing that
the Anglo-SaXon race is the race that
like the Lords children will inherit the
earth. After reciting how the Anglo
Saxon is generally leader in the max
ing of laws, in the observance of re-
ligious customs and manners, he shows
that he is also the great absorber, but
never the absorbed Other races come
to the Anglo-SaXon and are amalga-
mated. but the cases are rare where
the Anglo-Saxon go to other races and
disappear. Sir Walter shows that the
Anglo-Saxon is a restless people. for
ever following out an old. sacred in
least civilization into the uttermost
parts of the earth. There is scarcely
a quarter of the globe now where an
English,speaking person may not find
verse with him. and yet no longer ago
than the sixteenth century there We're
but 100000 people who spoke the
English language. Now there are 12o,-
100000.
Sir Walter BeSant shows that the
most of this increase has taken place
in the last hundred years. that no long
er ago than the last of the eighteenth
ttutuIS tLleTc were Jul -N-ptt-tNp LII
disappearing people. Out of this con-
dition Sir Walter figures the ultimate
decay Of monarchies and the building
up of republics. OF which the Ameri-
can republic will be the model. Ii is

THOSE TOWNSHIP spEEcHFs.

Bryan's speech OF acceptance, it
seems was totally different from what
was expected. The prevailing idea
was it would abound in metaphor and
oratorical pyrotechnics. 1t was ex-
pected to be epigrammatic and full of
brilliant and startling enunciations.
| As the readers of the Eagle know, it
was wholly different Excepting the
ending paragraph, addressed particu-
larry to the people Of New York City,
it was more the earnest argument of
the advocate than the oratory of the
platform. That the average eastern
paper was disappointed is plainly
evinced by their comments. Instead
Of a chance to display their wit they
We're confronted with a line of argu-
ment which must be met with the Ian
guage Of serious reason and CONVICTION
Bryan really talked of but one issue,
that Of money Every other plank OF
the Chicago platform was practically
ignored In fact he announced III MS
reply that all other issues in his Judg-
ment should be put aside until the sill
yer question is settled. For the most
part, in statement of facts, he kept
close to the record, but the declaration
that the Republican party pledges its
adherence to the gold standard and
commits the destiny of the United
States to the keeping of foreign finan-
cial syndicates and their agents here
is not true. The pledge of the Re
publican party is simply to keep and
maintain the two metals at q parity
until an international agreement can
be had for fixing their ratios.
Stones speech was totally Of diff
ferent stamp The governor of poor
old Missouri mounted his snoring,
kicking pegasus and tanning the
rowels into his quivering sides sailed
into the arena alternately lasSoing and
lancing everything in the way of OPP
ponents in sight. He ripped up Hanna
and kicked Cleveland clear out of the
ring. AS an exhibition from the wild
and woolly west, stones demonstra-
ton was a success. That he struck
some telling blows is not denied, but
they hit the Democratic party and its
present administration harder and
more seriously than the Republican
party is equally true.

Colonel Mary Lease says that she both

that it is woman's mission to be a

who have quit having children, talk this

doubt, why they were born to be so af-
fiicted. and never say anything about wo-
mans highest mission. If they say any

A voyage 10 the moon is the latest
project which is seriously put forward
as the browning point of the Paris ex-
hibition OF 1900. NJ. Mantois, its au-
thor, does not propose to carry passen-
gers to the lunar regions in an aerial
car, but he expects to bring down the
moon within the reach Of people whose
vision extends, say, six miles from the
earth. The plan is TO construct telc-
scope nearly 200 feet IN length. The
objective glass will have a diameter OF
something over four feet three inches,
the largest in the world. The colossal
tube will be placed horizontally, and
the image of the moon viii be reflected
by what is termed q mirror plane, six
feet in diameter, and Is inches thick.
The weight will be s.o0e pounds. The
special feature of the idea is that the
image Of the moon shall be thrown
upon 4 screen placed in n hall large
enough to hold LOCO spectators. As

paratus of these dimensions it viii be

Railroads are Frightened and Will Not
Listen to Protests.

Chicago, April THE Chicago Inter-
Ocean has the following:
1t is evident that as yet few Chicago
theatrical managers have been officially
apprised of the radical action of the
western roads in abolishing the long-es-
tabliShed reduced rates given for par
ties of ten or more persons travelling
on one ticket.
The publication Of the facts regarding
the abolition of these rates in the Inter
Ocean Of yesterday was the first init
nation 70 these gentlemen that the rail-
roads had wiped out their long standing
concession.
But the first theatrical company that
leaves Chicago for the west viii discover
that the facts have been only too coldly
stated.
They will be compelled to pay full fare
or walk.
Whether the western roads will put
back the 2-cent per mile rate is a mat
ter Of conjecture. Under the interstate
laws they have the right 10 make this
rate for ten or more persons travelling
together, but the tickets cannot be sold
TO theatrical companies and denied TO
other organized parties.
The roads east Of Chicago still sell
these tickets
The abolition Of these secret rates, in
common with other recent emergency
moves OF the railroads, is due 10 the
supreme court decision in the Brown
Ease, which compels railroad officers TO
produce evidence Of discrimination or
be held in contempt Of court
The railroad people are going to take
no chances. They are wiping of their
states and beginning all over again.
The publicity given the visit Of Inter
state Commission Detective MarchIand
to Chicago by the Inter Ocean has put
the railroad officers on their guard and
nothing but published legal rates now
''go"
If the railroads have abolished the
theatrical rates they have shown very
poor policy" said Manager Harry J.
Powers Of HoOley'S theatre last night.
1T is an injustice 10 the theatrical
companies These companies are the
very best customers the roads have.
The business is put right on their tracks
and is wholesale in every sense of the
word. The move viii be a great hard
