WHY ISIT.

masters of England and the
United States advocate the arbl-
tration treaty? Because they fear
ed if America remained free the
title to their property in the
masses would be impaired.
What title have they in the
masses! They have mortgage
on the masses in the shape of vast
Indebtedness, and by contracting
the money of the world to gold
alone they make itimpossible for
the masses to pay the mortgage,
and leave them no alternative
but to submit to involuntary ser
vitude.
How would the arbritrotjon
treaty help the slave mastersl Ii
the United States would combiue
with England agajn-t the world,
why could not Eng and reasonabl
expect to hold in permanent ser.
vltude the four hundred millions
OF slaves whose unrequited toll are
enriching the gold gamblers of
London.
Do you pretend 20 say that
England has four hundred mil
lions Of slaves? That is about the
number. There are about three
hundred millions in India. There
are ten or fifteen millions in
Northern Africa, and in Ireland
and England she has at least
twenty millions of semi-slaves.
They are rot vet reduced to the
same level of misery and want as
the people OF India and Of Egypt.
What do yo,. mean by slavery 2
J We mean the power to exact, and
the actual exaction, of the labor,
of one man by another without
just. compensation.
Do the people Of India and
Egypt labor without just compen-
sationl Yes. without any com
pensation whatever, except the
miserable pittance, necessary to
sustain human life under favor
able conditions. Under favora BILE
conditions they starve by the mil
lions.
DO the people whom England
enslaves starve bv the millions (?
Oh,yes. Eight or nine millions
have already died during the
current year in India, and it is es-
timated that ten millions more
must die from the same cause be-
fore they can supply themselves
with food.
How can slavery be abolished? {?
The first step before the abolition
of slavery is the independence of
the United States. The United
must cease to be an appendage of
Great Britain. Great Britain
must not control our finances.
Great Britain must not be allow
ed to bind us by contract to aid
her suppressing liberty in all
parts of world. Independence, on
the part of the United States, will
be moral example that will tend
to liberate the slaves of the i'm
perial power of Great Britain.
The fact that the United States
would not enter into an alliance
with Great Britain has encour-
aged Russia, France, and Germany.
to set set up for themselves, and
refuse TO obey the mandates of
the imperial money power of
London, Russia, France and the
I United States can liberate the
four handred millions Of human
beings which England has made
slaves. What is wanted is indie
pendence Of nations, not com
hluation of nations to assist Great
Britain In extending her barbar.
Gus rule IN every part of the earth.
If the people of the United States

POETRY AS A FINE ART.
Prof. S. III. Clark Begins University
Extension Series.

Prof. S. FL Clark, instructor in elocution
in the University OF Chicago, delivered, at
the First Baptist Church, last evening, the
first of his series of lectures in the univer-
sity extension course upon Poetry as a
Fine Art" Professor Clark has ideas CT his
own, and the courage to express them. He
said what he thought about Browning s
poetry and Ruskins' criticism, and he did
not seem to think very highly of either of
these idols.
The first essential in poetry, he declared,
as in any other art, was an idea of value to
be conveyed Its value might be in its beau
ty, in it's moral force or emotional power,
but if the poem was to be of value, the idea
must be of value. Then. In considering the
best poetic expression of this idea the first
consideration must be unity and proportion
Call it the law of principality or the law of
Subordina tion the fact remained that the
whole is greater than the part, and all must
be subordinated TO the main idea The law
CT repetition and the law of continuity, he
discussed briefly as perfectly plain PROPOSE
lions.
He believes in the Importance of form,
study as an aid to the expression of the
poet and TO the ,pleasurable understanding
of the reader. Professor Clark spoke of the
differences between story and allegOry, and
the dangers of blending the two The most
successful effort in this direction, he be-

TWO JAIL PHYSICIANS.
County Commissioners Solve a POlit-
ical Problem.

A partial list of county appointments was
yesterday evening made public by the Board
of Commissioners. w. T. Brown is appoint
ed to succeed Alfred r. Hovey as county
attorney. John Ruckelshaus succeeds John
o. Spahr as attorney for the poor Dr.
Homer ]. Jones becomes worhhouse physi-
clan in place of DR.. Thomas B. Eastman,
ard DR.. David Wall receives the appoint
ment of physician for the county farm. The
board virtually appointed two physicians for
the Jail. There were two candidates for
this position from the Second ward-Drs.
H r. Ridpath and ]. z. Dunlavy. Consid-
cradle influence was brought to bear on the
board in behalf of both candidates, and the
commissioners decided that the easiest way
out of the difficulty was to appoint both
men. The appointment is made for two
years, and it is the plan to allow each APP
pointee to serve six months at time. While
one is serving the other will receive one
half of his pay. 1t is understood both can
didates have agreed to this plan.
A number of other county appointments
are to be made, including superintendent
for the workhouse and poor farm, custo-
dian of the courthouse and host of Jan1-
tors. 1t is said there is TO be no change in
the heads of these departments.

STOVEWOOD BY HIS SIDE.
John Burgess Took His Disciplinary
Measure to Bed with Him.


Amanda j. Burgess, in suit for divorce
from John Burgess, charges the defendant
with singular conduct The plaintiff says
she was married to the defendant in No
vember, 1896. Mrs. Burgess ayers that while
they lived in the country the defendant ac
cused her of coming to the city to visit men.
She says Burgess once drew a knife on her
and once an AK. On one occasion he took
stick of stove wood to bed with him, and
during the night threatened to strike her.
He also pulled the bed covering off her,
and one night took up the lamp and threat
ened to strike her with it. The plaintiff
further charges that Burgess was an Undo
lent and worthless fellow and failed to
furnish her suitable clothing.

e. Clark to whom she was married in De-
cember, 1885, They separated in March of
last year. The defendant is charged with
violating his marriage vows.

among strangers. She says the defendant
would come home at night in a rage when
things did not go to suit him during the
day. On these occasions, his wife says. he
would vent his spite on her. She asks that
her maiden name, Ottie M. Davis. be re-
stored to her.

stehIin wilI Not Apply.

1t is understood that George Stehln, who
proposed to start a saloon at Senate av-
enue and Twenty-first street, will not apply
for license. The commissioners have a
remonstrance signed by influential citizens
on file. which will be brought out if Stehlin
should apply.
After considering the remonstrance
against John H. Herig, of West Indian
apolis, who had an application on file to
sell liquor at No. TIA River avenue, the
commissioners decided to grant the license
The citizens of the ward set out to get up
q remonstrance under the Nicholson law
but abandoned it when they found they
would not be able to secure a sufficient
number OF signatures. They then brought
in another remonstrance on the ground that
Herig is unfit to conduct a saloon. AS the
latter remonstrance was not signed, but at
tached to the first one, the county attorney
held it could not be considered by the
board.
