Sensational Preaching.
(From the Brooklyn Eagle. }

Bridgeport is the home OF the too-ready
clergyman. Another of the species has
appeared there who has got himself adver-
tised by denounciDg President Mckinley
as drunkard on the ground that he has
claret on his table, which he hasn't. If
the clergyman would try claret with his
own meals his digestion would Improve
and he would not see things in the bad
light that he does now.

The Emperor of Austria takes his

position in full view of the house and the
consequence is that the royal box is the

OF obtaining new implements with which

theory, and sounds productive, but there is
probably no necessity Of great haste in its
execution. The Chinese farmer has very
small business. and as everybody knows, a
small farm does not yield much revenue,
nor does IL require such up to-date tools as
a big farm. The most serious obstacle to

IT matters not how just the de-
mand for the restoration of silver,
it will never be done as long as the
voters of the East, North and a
large per cent of the West believe
it is to their interest to retain the
gold standard policy. The wheat
grower of the West and the miners
and factory employees of the East
and North as well as a large per
cent of all other classes of voters
of those sections are made to be-
lieve that when the farmers of the
South realize better prices for
cotton and other raw material, ev-
erything the laborer needs will ad-
vance in price while their wages
will be reduced. Until the minds
of the voters of these sections are
disabused and they vote differently
there is no hope for the restoration
of silver.

inhabitants of said Territory a
greater rate of freight than the

1t is a well known fact that this

the charter every day, and yet the

no effort to make the road refund
over-charges. The roads charges
are far in excess of the rates that

THE federal court of Texas has
granted the stockholders of the
railroads of that state a permanent
injunction against the railroad
commission of Texas, restraining
the enforcement of the freight rates
made by the commission. The
court holds that the railroads are
entitled to a reasonable interest on
the money invested, and the stock
holders claim that the roads cost
$64 900 a mile. The railroad COM
mission estimated the roads to cost
$21 900 a mile, and fixed the rates
on that basis. The court holds
that they are entitled to rates that
will give them a reasonable per
cent on $64,00 mile. These
same railroad people go into the
respective commissioners courts of
the counties of Texas, when the
roads are being assessed for taxes,
and swear that the roads are only
worth from 1000 to $l1, 900 a
mile, yet when freight rates are to
be fixed they swear that the roads
cost $64, 900 a mile. Was there
ever such a set of liars on earth

The Supreme Court Of the Unit
ed States has decided that an edu-
cational qualification for electors
is not unconstitutional and not in
violation of any of the laws of
Congress or the amendments to
the federal constitution.
The court in rendering the de-
cision took the occasion to say that
an educational qualification for
voters was not class legislation and
could not be so treated. This was
in the case OF the state of Missis-
sippi on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. The con-
stitution of that state requires an
educational qualification in the
voter before he is entitled to the
ballot, and the appellant alleged In
his petition that the clause dis
criminated against the colOred
people and therefore was in con-
travention to the amendment to
the federal constitution. This de-
cision of the Supreme court was
made some months ago.

TEXAS is full of Democrats who
are clamoring for a law exempting
manufactures from taxation, yet
they are wildly opposed to a pro-
tective tariff. The object of both
policies is the same. A high tariff
is levied by congress to protect
home manufactures against for
eign manufactured articles and to
encourage and foster these enter
prises. The exemption of them
from taxation by the states and
cities is for the same purpose
encourage their building and pro-
tect them in their infancy. How a
conscientious Democrat can advo-
cate such a policy is a mystery to
US. There isn't a partical of De-
mocracy in it. 1t is the most un
just class-legislation that can be
advocated, because it seeks to en-
rich the rich and relieve them from
their just proportions of the bur-
dens of government. Taxation
should be equal and uniform on all
alike whether they sell peanuts or
manufacture silk, and any other
system of taxation is unjust, un-
Democratic and in violation of
every principle upon which this
government is founded.

TO PROTECT our COLONIES.

English critics seem to think
that the American people do not
begin to relaize the task they have
undertaken in deciding to send
large armies to distant parts of the
world. 1t is estimated that about
90, 900 men will be necessary to
properly look after our colonial
interests. Cuba win take so, 900,
Porto Rice 15. 900, the Philippines
20, 900 and the Hawaiian islar DIS
5000. Assuming that 10000 of
these men are colored troops, we
will have outside of the United
States So 900 white troops organ
lied for active service. The Lon
don Spectator. commenting upon
this, draws attention to the fact
that the United States will then
have the largest external army of
any country in the world next to
Great Britain herself. England
employs no such number of men
to hold India and Egypt, and only
by computing the entire force of
English soldiers in the whole en-
pire in active service away from
home is Great Britain able to make
a larger showing. The Spectator
says: I'VE desire that the Amer
leans should realize fully how big
a job they have undertaken, and
undertaken as yet rather instinct
lively and unconsciously than with
eyes fully open."
But probably the English critics
forget that the big armies for col
onial service will not remain there.
At the present time there is no in
tention to annex Cuba, and the
army will be withdrawn as soon as
the government be properly organ
lied. Even if Cuba shoald ulti-
mately become part t,of the United
States there will be no need of an
army of so, 900 men there, for we
cannot assume either that there
will be rebellious population or
danger of foreign foes. Neither
will it be necessary to maintain
large force in Porto Rico after all
danger Of a resumption of the
Spanish war is over and the coun-
try has settled down to a condition
of peace.
In the Philippines the situation
may prove different. Spain has
never fully conquered the islands
in the two centuries that the is
lands have been held, and as a
large part of the population is saw
age a strong force may be required |
there for years. But even in this
case the United States would |
probably follow the example set by |
England and organize a strong
auxiliary force of natives, accus
toned to the climate and to the
customs. So that even in the
Philippines the white army will
probably be materially reduced.
