and fruit, and meat, to fill all the hun
cry mouths on the planet; but alas!
that the sufferer and the supply cannot

les; under her turban such achings of
brow as only dying nation feels; her
eyes hollow with unutterable woe: the
tears rolling down her sunken cheek;
her back bent with more agonies than
she knows how to carry; her ovens
containing nothing but ashes. Gaunt,
ghastIy, wasted, the dew of death upon
her forehead and pallor such as the
last hour brings, she stretches forth
her trembling hand towards us and
with hoarse whisper she says: Il am
diving! Give me bread! That is what
I want! Bread! Give it to me quick.
Give it to me now-bread! bread!
bread!" America has heard the cry
Many thousands of dollars have al
ready been contributed. One ship la
den with breadstuffs has sailed from
San Francisco for India Our senate
and house of representatives in bill
signed by our sympathetic president
have authorized the secretary of the
navy to charter vessel to carry food
to the famine sufferers, and you may
help to fill that ship. We want to send

Of corn. That will save the lives of at
least six hundred thousand people.

Senator Allen charges that
republican senators openly So
icited opposition to the sugar
bounty provision of the new
tariff law, in order that their
abandonment of that feature
might be excused on the
grounds that insistence
thereon would result in un-
timely delay in the passage of
the law. That is one way of
giving it to the fool people in
the neck without being found
out. This anxiety to have
somebody oppose their bun
combe schemes, reminds one OF
the appeal made by the fellow
who had yoked himself up
with a young steer: 'P)ease,
Mister, head us off, or we will
break our fool necks.'

Of all the empty balderdash
with which in recent years the
American people have been af-
hicted on the national birthday,
the speeches of Monday were
the most idiotic. Of those re-
ported in the city, not one of
them shows any decent compre-
hension of the crisis through
which the American republic is
now passing. With all of their
fulsome laudation of the declara-
ton Of independence, in defense
OF which our country's fathers
waded barefoot through the
SHOWS of Valley Forge, not one
of them had the courage to APP
ply it's principles to present-day
conditions. Buncombe and self
glorifcation were the burden of
their songs, one and all; until
the thoughtful patriot went
home sick at heart, despairing
more than ever for the lite of our
free institutions. ..< 3D.

the rich; and from then to the
present day with all artful-
ness and sophistry, the fathers
of the church, the preachers
of the gospel, succeeded in dis
covering a defense of property
and wealth in the gospel of
Jesus Christ. All this was a
vital political necessity to
Christianity, it was only at
this price that it became
Catholicism,-th universal re-
ligion. The church, through
all its evolutionary stages, has
opposed the idea of freedom;
humanity regaining self-pos-
session and control. What Bit
ter irony it is to find that the
world is again collapsing
through frantic speculation,
rotten banks, financial disas-
tiers, and the frightful injustice
of a few men gorged with
wealth while thousands of
of their brothers are dying
with hunger. And the preach
ers of the gospel are still on the
side of property.

The Church and Property.

Religion has evolved from
past ages, until now we have
beliefs and denominations
without number; but beneath
each religious evolution. there
has been invariably hidden an
economic question. The ever
lasting evil, continual struggle,
has never been aught but one
between the rich and the poor.
When ownership and property
came into being, a class war
fare at once broke out, and has
continued to the present day.
There were rich and there were
poor; thence arose the. social
question. During the first few
centuries, each church was an
experiment in communism,
a real association, whose mem
bers possessed all in common.
This is shown to, us by the
apologists and early fathers of
the church. Christianity was
then but the religion of the
humble and the poor, a form of
democracy or socialism strug-
Cling against Roman society.
When the latter toppled
over, rotted by money,
it succumbed far more be-
meath the results of frantic
speculation, swindling banks,
and financial disasters than be-
meath the onslaught of barba-
rian hordes. But Christianity,
at last triumphing by virtue of
historical, social and humane
causes, was proclaimed state
religion. To ensure itself
complete victory, it was forced
to range itself on the side Of

ENened It Up.

Booker T. Washington Of Tuske-
gee, speaking of the moral and re-
Ggious life of his own race, said
that it was probably all that could
be expected after their $50 years in
slavery. He told an anecdote Of an
old slave who reasoned that as his
body belonged to his master, if he
ate the masters chickens the chick
ems still were his and no theft had
been committed. His master remon-
strated with him for eating chicken
shortly after, and the slave replied,
"Well, massa, you's got less chick
en-, but you'se got more niggah."

One of the Fourth of July
orators at Lincoln Park went
out of his way, Monday, to slur
the Social Democracy of Amer
lea; and, as usual with critics
who assail what they do not
intelligently comprehend, his
reference thereto only adver-
tised his ignorance on that par
ticular subject. The declara-
ton of independence is state
IT of fundamental princi-
without a parallel; but
our realization of it is no.
toriously inadequate. Then,
why throw stones at any hon.
est attempt to crystalize those
principles into a more perfect
reality?
