"lhe English Deonle."

The Chicago pulpit editorializer dis
courses largely of ''the rapidly grow
ing predominancy of the English peo-
siah Strong in support Of his asser-
tons that this race is in control OF
practically all the new land of the
globe; it is the multiplying, populat-
ing stock; it is the fighting stock. too"
He declares that, united, it could by
influence and arms, command peace the
world over.
The preacher of editorials would not
have been so very remote from the
truth If, instead of the English peo-
pie" and this race" he had said the
English-speaking people There is a
difference between the two. Even in
the British isles by no means all OF
the English-speaking people are Eng
fish. The Irish and the Scotch are not
nor are the Welsh, most of whom
speak more or less English. Nor is
it quite correct to speak of the English
themselves as a race" They are q.
product Of the mingling of different
races. There is no distinctly English
race. 1t is a mixture of Saxons Nor
mans. Celts and Latins that makes the
Englishman.
In other parts of the world the Eng
disappearing people are English in a
much less ratio than in Great Britain
In this hemisphere they are much more
largely of Irish, Scotch, German
Dutch, Scandinavian and French orig
in than they are of English origin. Az
for our own country, while the Eng
fish have given it the language and to
a large extent the political institutions
and civil polity, other nationalities
have supplied most of the people. Ana
indeed our political organism is almost
as much Huguenot as English. Then
it must be remembered that England,s
laws are the old Roman laws. Thers
is very little in all this world ALI Eng
lish except it be the accursed eol.3
standard that is robbing the people i.
all chimes.

why you dislike Mr.. Blantyre so much?
You have seen little of him, yet you
distrust him."

positive cruelties in your name. and

sanction of your name--a name that

he asked.
Go yourself among the people and
ask. You will see men with large fam
lilies and eighteen shillings week to
support them with, whose rents have
been raised one pound a year-their
rents, not their wages: those are the
laborers employed on your estate-the
hewers of wood and the drawers Of
Water-the poorest, the most wretched
class of men in England.

would revolutionize society,"" he said,
interested in spite of himself by the
passion of her words.
II know it is not all Blantyre's fault.
If one of the children of a household
goes wrong, it is not the hired servant
who is to blame, but the father and

A CLASH OF MUSIC.
A Brass Band And An Orchestra At
Spring Lake Park

Last night the colored brass and
reed band, just organized and
equipped by T. H. Kenneaster, the
music dealer, put in appearance at
Spring Lake Park and began an
open air concert, they having been
engaged by the park manager to
play two nights in the week, Tues
day and Thursday nights.
The band had played one or two
selections when the white orchestra
of the city made their appearance,
they having been engaged by the
young men of the city for the
dance.
Pretty soon the cars began to
unload those who were to partici-
pate in the whirl, ard the brass
band had to be silenced, which Mr.
Whitley promptly did.
Mr. Kenneaster said to the re-
porter that the colored band had
been organized by himself as bus
mess venture and that he had Sc
cured some good colored talent
which he thought would in short
time get the balance of the band to
play in harmony with them and
that he expected tc furnish music
for this and outside towns.
Returning to the dance we
noticed at least forty or fifty
couples on the floor at one time and
the young people seemed to be en-
joying the exhiliating exercise that
dancing will bring to them
The evening was one much en-
joyed by all present.

QUITE A BLAZE.
The Iron Clad House, Known as
Eva Reeds Place, in Ashes,

The alarm of fire was sounded
last night at 1l:45 o'clock and the
fremen discovered that it was the
old iron clad house on Front street,
in a bright blaze,
The building has been without an
occupant for some time, and we
learn that it passed owner
ship few days ago, W, G, Hardin
becoming the purchaser, and had
rented it to some party who was
moving into it, having already put
down carpets in some of the rooms.
When the firemen commenced to
throw water, they knew they could
not save the building on fire and
they turned their attention to
throwing water on the sheds be-
longing to the ice plant adjoining
and kept this mammoth plant from
being destroyed.
On the west side was the Kelly
foundry and the front part of this
building was destroyed, the rear
part, where the engine room was,
did not suffer so much, and
we believe was not badly damaged.
The Gilchrist house, west of the
Kelly foundry, and the property of
W. c. Hardin was slightly damaged.
The loss to the ice plant will be
nominal and easily repaired and it
was fully covered by insurance.
The Eva Reed building was re-
ported worth about 81 900.
The Kelly foundry was valued at
$500.
The damage to the Gilchrist
house was very slight.

pany here for 1t is as good as any
system in small cities, but we be-
lieve that if the East and West
Side would invest IN a chemical APP
paratus that would cost about $500
each, they would be prepared to
put out many fires they now let
consume the buildings. Then these
engines would be useful in going to
places where the water mains do
not reach. Oyer half of the West
Side of our city would be at the
mercy of a conhagaration should
one be started when, if we had
good sized chemical machine the
fire could be stopped. We hope
our aldermen will look into the
matter right away and give our
outlining districts the protection
they need.

ANSWER TO CRITICISM.
A Senator Close to the Administration says
the Presidents Message Declares for
Independent Government In Cuba

WAsHINeTOS, April IA senator
close to the president says that the
greatest criticism upon the message Of
the president is that he did not say
anything about independence He re-
fers to these words near the end Of the
message: And to secure in the island
the establishment of a stable govern
ment, capable Of maintaining order and
its international Obliga-
tons" The senator added that a
stable government" capable Of
Observing its international Obliga-
tions, must be independent. If it
were not an independent government,
it would have no international Obliga-
tons The same senator insisted that
this part Of the message meant indie
pendence, but the president was writ
ing a document that meant history
and precedent and he had to confne
himself to diplomatic language.
