The old chattel system was describ'

cyon days Of chattel slavery IA follows'
"Tho slave Is fed and cared for by
the master, and the products of his la
Dor belonged TO the owner, and this
was tho place they were designed to
All."
How much alike slavery is In all itS
formsl-always casting It's eyes toward
heaven for the sanctity OF its processes
and always breathing tho same senti-
ment, 'Cursed by Canaan" toward the
men whom II dooms TO toll, poverty
and degradation.
Senator John p, Jones, himself ma
tive of England, describes the English
slave system very fully. He speaks OF
the children from four to ten years old
being driven from their tasks by inhu'
man masters, In the sweat shops, in
the factories, In the minos, In tho brick
yards, and on the farms with more
cruelty than was ever witnessed In the
cotton-Aelds OF Georgia or the Caro-
linas. The senator Ascrlbes this wick
cd and cruel state Of things TO the
greed Of the British bondholders, who
are expecting gold payments on paper
loans, making themselves dangerously
rich, and the English laborers cruelty
and dangerously poor.
John Ruskin describes tho situation

Though England is deafened with
spinning-wheels, her people have not

 as Little Demons.
,,, the New York Press.

r-om the New York fress'
 spanish warfare has made soldiers of babes. r,,;s remark from the lips of Marti ,med to the ten years struggle .:ah ended so disastrously for Cuban ~ .dom Had Martl lived through the
 ont war his epigrammatic utter
 aoe could have been applied even
 nore appropriately to the existing in-
 oot,on. For never in the history
 flare. ancient or modern, have
 srdren been forced to fight for free ,on as have the boys of Cuba. Every ,.s,roent camp is witness to this. The sr.ve leaders have found it simply i'm aossible to restrain the boys of 10, l2 rnd IL who insist on handling rifles and machetes.
 rittle wonder, however, that these hovs are fighting for freedom for, as raie they are the last Of name, all ,bat is left of the heroic families that a;od from starvation or by the bullet # the Spaniard. They know no pity, tor tbev were accorded none. They ara men in trials. and the only fear is that when the war is over they will be 5esperadoes of the next decade.
 These young fellows fight with all the determination and desperation of men. Few of them realize the real import of the strife, for to them it is war for vengeance, and even if they are not properly recruited and entered among the soldiers, they yet manage to keep Tn touch with the leaders, and seem 10 sniff battle as a dog does it's oame. When the moment for acton comes they are in the midst of the strife, lying low if the rest of the troop is advancing cautiously, and dashing forward at the right moment to kill or he killed. To them fife seems to have no value. but to end it as did their fa- thers and brothers.
 As spies they have proved of inestl- mable value to some of the insurgent chiefs. One of General Maceo's most ardent followers was a young muatto, barely 15 years old He was killed in the last charge the great leader made before he met his own death. It was to him that Maceo intrusted some of his most important communications for Gomez, and invariably the boy sue cessfully eluded the Spanish troops. He knew every hill and dale, every plantation and shelter in the western provinces.
 At Bayamo there were found on the field of carnage at least a dozen of these brave little fellows, each with the machete firmly grasped, heroes whose lives had hardly begun before the bullet of the Spaniard ended them.
 It must be great cause, indeed when even babes are stirred by the no- be impulse of the hour; but that Spanish methods of warfare are re- sponsible for this is best evidenced by records of their own Carlist wars A correspondent of that time writes:
 T have, on several occasions, seen Carlist and Republican troops alike firing indiscriminately on women and children in the coldest of cold blood ln many cases, while both were heroically engaged in stanching the wounds of those dearest to them"

Still a BiIiioH=DoIlar Nation.

The first session Of the Fifty-fifth
congress has made it's appropriation
record, and it beats all former records
and affirms the statement made a few
years ago by some prominent Republic
can III reply to the charge that the ap-
Preparations of a Republican congress
had exceeded $1,000, 900, 900: well, this
is billion country" Mr.. Cannon, who
IS chairman of the house committee on
appropriations, endeavors to reduce the
effect of this tremendous expenditure
or SSS2. 52S,991 by deducting from it SLIT
S36,220 made for permanent appropria-
items such as the sinking fund and in
terest on the public debt. From it he
deduOts the further sum Of 1851. 7SS. O95
made 10 meet expenditures incurred in
the present war. Deducting this leaves
the oiolnary expenses of the govern
hient, S4l2, BOSS and he congratulates
the country and himself that this is
only $4,246,Sl6 more than was appro-
prlated by the last congress for the
same purposes. AS the last congress
passed over to this one a deficit of over
SS0GO,000 in the payment of pensions,
Mr.. Cannon, by his system of account
ordinary purposes of government lit.
tie over S3,OO0,OO0 less than those of the
Fifty-fourth congress.
rms, however, is merely a matter of
s'a.ihg accounts. Mr.. Sayers, the
senAor Democratic member of the COM
-hIltee on appropriations, arrives at the
amount appropriated for the civil and
ordinary expenses by taking from the
total appropriation the amount applied
TO defray the expenses of the war. Thi;
leaves the sum used for ordinary ex-
penseS $3.50, 739 ,9O6, or something over
Sl,O00, 900 for the full term of the
t1fty-fifth congress. Mr.. Savers meth
Cd OF stating the account is, of course,
correct. Permanent or continuing an.
preparations are only that part of the
civil expenses for which annual an
FTopriationS are not made The an
preparation to meet the expenses of the
war indicates how costly war is Should
the war continue until the 21st day Of
next April the amount appropriated by
this session to meet it's cost would
average very nearly $1,000, coo a day.
TO meet this expenditure the treasury
Is now borrowing 5000, 900, 900 on the Sc
curity of government bonds, and for
the hrst time in many years the gov
eminent has resorted to direct taxation.
AT the rate of expenditure already
begun it is improbable that the income
from taxation and the amount derived
from bond issues will be sufficient to
meet the war expenses, and there will
have to be another issue CT bonds. The
present issue brings the bonded debt
of the country to 1,047, 367, 41O, nearly
twice what it was on March 3, 1893,
VI hen it amounted to $3.50, 034, 26O.

The Attack on Shafter.

Gen. Shafter has the Spaniard in
front of him and the special CORE
spondent in his rear. Of the two, the
latter is the more virulent, if the less
dangerous. But a bombardment with
dispatches is quite as annoying to a
commander in the field as is one with
shells from the front. Richard Hard
ing Davis, who has achieved some dis
tirction in letters, is the first and
only correspondent with the officers at
Santiago to censure Gen. Shafter for
conditions prevailing there. He finds,
or thinks he finds, insufficient accom-
modatiGn for the treatment of the sick
and wounded and an inadequate COM
missariat But from it's FREQUENT rep
etition his grievance seems to he
that Gen. Shafter is lying ill in his
tent mile or two in the rear, while
a special complaint is that Gen. Shat
ter's staff is supplied with a tent for
each officer. So far as we have beer
able to get at the fao.s in the condi-
ton complained of, Mr.. Dvis is train
ing his paper pellets on the wrong pc
sition. He should give his guns great
er elevation and send his criticisms
where they evidently belong-into the
war department at Washington. There
responsibility lies for whatever there
is of inadequacy of equipment In the

From the moment when the vessels

his thin line" Shafter has displayed
qualities of generalship that command
the admiration Of those who know
what campaigning is even in circum-
stances far more favorable than those
which confronted him. The remark
able rapidity with which he landed his
troops and supplies drew The COM

The War Yesterday.

But two events yesterday have more
than ordinary Importance, the resigna-
ton of Sagasta and the arrival of Gen.
Miles in Santiago. The Spanish prime
minister accompanies his resignation
with the advice that a war ministry
be formed. This act brings to head
the contention between the two parties
in Spain, the one desiring peace as
soon as it can be honorably obtained,
at the head of which is Sagasta, who,
from the start, has realized the hope
lessnesS of the contest The other is
the military party that dominates Spain
and which is for war until driven into
the last ditch. The acceptance of Sa-
gasta's resignation and the formation
of a ministry from the military wing
will mean an indefinite prolongation of
the war. 1t will mean that we will
have to meet, fight and capture every
detachment of Spanish troops in Cuba,
the Philippines and Puerto Rico. To-
raj. in Santiago, represents the spirit
of this party, one of bravery without
judgment.
The other event is one Of minor i'm
portance. The arrival of Miles, unless
with large reinforcements, will not
change conditions at Santiago. Shafter
has done all that could be done with
the forces at his command. The bri-
gades are in position, and the ground
occupied is well chosen either for as
sault or defense against a sortie The
troops are ready for fight, and Miles
will not make them reader. He may
be able to receive the surrender of
Toral and thus take from Shafter the
laurels he has fairly won. The hardest
thing yet charged against Shafter is
that Re is protege of Alger, chosen
for this expedition because he is a
Michigan man.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-12

was so striking and so successful in
Grant, that led him to hunt the enemy
and to fight him wherever found.
There was no campaign of mastery
inactivity" with Shafter. When Shafter
had to extend his line from near Aqua
dores around to Ell Caney it became,
as he expressed 1t, so thin" that fur
Their advance without reinforcements
was impossible. Ground for adverse
criticism there is in plenty. but it
should be directed against the war de-
partment, which furnishes evidence of
it's incompetency, and not against the
man who, in the face of tremendous
difficulties, has accomplished a re-
markable feat.
