Mighty Preparations.

Roberts and Kitchener, heroes
OF several arduous campaigns
against savages, the ablest Of Brit
ism generals and the military idols
OF army and people, depart at once
for South Africa, Roberts to the
supreme command, Kitchener to
the highest executive office under
him. They go to fight civilized
men for the hrst time in their
careers. ReinioIcements Of at
least 10000 men will follow i'm
medlatelY, and arrangements are
making for the raising and sending
oi an indefinitely large volunteer
army. Within a month Great
Britain will have the largest army
in her history.
She begins to realize at last that
she has on her hands not only a
great war but also a rebellion; that
she must meet not only the able,
brave and thoroughly equipped
soldiers of the republics, but also
a great and spreading insurrection
in her South African colonies,
where her peaceful Dutch subjects
are taking up arms for the repub-
lies established by their kinsmen.
1t will be at least a month be-
tore the changed conditions in
England can possibly affect the
situation in South Africa-ii they
will seriously affect 1t at all. For
another month the Beers will con-
rInue to deal with Butler and Cat
acre and Methu and White.
Much may happen in a month.
Those generals may redeem them
selves or the British may have
lost beyond hope ofrecovery. And
even after Roberts and Kitchener
arrive, the Boer aim Tor British
officers, the Boer talent for demor-
-lIzing British regiments, will be
none the less damaging, and the
Boer strategy and tactics will be
just as we'll suited TO the country.
And the anImating principles Of
these freemen will be just as Wig
orous.
These preparations for mighty
effort tempt the imagination, ap-
pail the human sensibilities and
cause the sympathies to 60 the
more intensely to that sturdy peo-
pie who are "little yet exceeding
wise"-and exceeding strong.

The Ethiopian War Cloud.

From the days when the Queen
OF Sheba visited King Solomon
down to the more modern days Of
Prester John. Of RasselIs, OF Mag
dala and OF Adowa, Abyssinia, or
Ethiopia, has been very interest
ing country. In geographic and
defensive conformation and fight
ing power it much resembles the
South African republics at the
other end Of the continent. II oc-
cupies about Ioo, 900 square miles
OF rugged mountain plateau. Its
population ol three or four millions
would, as a rule, rather fight than
eat. 1t can put in the field at least
100, 900 soldiers armed with mod
ern weap ons. United as it is now
it is unassailable. The British oc-
cuPation and capture OF Magdala
in 1867 8 was rendered possible
only by civil dissensions. The de-
feat oil the Italians by the Abyssin
ians at Adowa in 1 500 was the most
crushing blow that any European
power has ever received from
semi. civilized army.
Just at present the sentiment OF
AbyssinIa toward Great Britain is
identical with the Boer sentiment.
The lesson OF the Jameson raid in
South Africa was only a repetition
oil the Anglo Italian treaty OF 1891,
by which Great Britain assumed
to hand over AbyssinIan territory
to Italy, and worst OF all, to estsb-
lIsh on the eastern border OF the
free mountaineers an Italian power
to help the English conquerors Of
the Soudan to crush them from the
west.
II King Menelik thinks that the
defeat OF Butler at Tugela and the
withdrawal OF Kitchener from com.
mand in the Soudan is his signal
to strike it will make the study OF
A5yssinia more interesting than
ever.

The Pension Flood.
The Atlanta ToayKaL says:

The Atlanta fOayNaI says:
"He is a bold man who will dare
to set limit to the expenditure for
Federal pensions.
1--WE are now paying SG4o, ,ooo, 900
a year on this account, and that we
shall have to pay more is very evil
dent.
"James A. Garfield in the House
Of Representatives more than 30
years ago, in defending a pension
bill which carried only about S6o,-
900, 900 and was then considered
exorbitant, declared has conviction
that when the appropriation on
this score should reach SIS, 600, 900
it would begin to decline"
Our contemporary, says the New
York ToKyHal, has it's facts little
twisted. The pension bill tbat
Garfield was defending approprl-
ated about S3o, 900, 900. Garfield
said that he believed that was the
high water mark OF pension ex-
penditures. and that thereafter the
appropriations would decline. And
he would have been right il Con-
gress had not checked the decline,
whenever it got under way, by new
and continually more extravagant
legislation. The pension expendi-
lures leaped up to SOC, ,ooo. 900,
SIoo, 900, 900 and $40, ,ooo, 900.
Now they seem again to have
reached their maximum under ex
isting laws, and already the calen.
dars OF Congress are loaded with
bills for their initiation. II the i'm
huences at work in that direction
have their way, everything that
makes the pension list a roll oil
honor will disappear, every dis
tinction between the honest veteran
and the hummer will be swept
away, and bounty jumpers, desert
ers, skulk srs and men dishonora-
bly, discharged from the service
will be put on an equality with the
patriotic soldiers who poured out
their blood on the battlefield.

A WAR OF SHAME,

The brave and patriotic but misguided
and misled people Of the United States,
bending to the yoke, are giving $780,
600, 900 a year in war taxes to pay for
McKinley's personal war against the
Fillpinos, made without any authority
from Congress, the war making power
in his vain expectation that it will result
III his reelection. His despotic war
against the men OF the Philippines. the
war OF the strong against the weak
fighting for their freedom, will wiring
lamentations from our descendants when
they turn from this blackened page in
American history But his savage
warfare against the innocent Filipino
women and children, slaughtering them
by thousands, Will stamp the tyr4nt with
historic infamy. For this crime there is
no conceivable human torture sufficient
to punish him. At first he ordered Otis
to prctract and extend the war into the

became restless at the slaughter he sent

McKinley's personal war against the
FIIipinos IS a lesson for the nation. It
shows that any artiul, deceitfuI and
plausible President in the future, able to
create an opportunity, can become a
masked dictator and a disguised traitor

people-but not the historian. Il will
require only few more McKinleYs TO

Nom Resident Land ana Personal

Non Resident Land and Personal
Property Owners.
There is one feature OF our polit-
ieal institutions that is not spoken
OF in the papers, because they fear
the wrath OF the men of wealth.
This is che practice OF exempting
landowners from paying their per-
sonal taxes.
Take as an example that WISER
able man, the expatriated scion Of
a famous American family, Will
lam Waldorf Astor. This man
derives an enormous revenue from
real estate in New York. He dis
claims all personal tax, and says
ne is not an American citizen. Let
US take him at his word. What
should we do in the case OF man
who gets his money in this country
and who refuses 10 pay his just
share OF the expenses Of the Coy
erument2
The course TO pursue is simple.
Let there be law passed that will
place the revenue OF non resident
landowners on a separate tax ac-
count. Then when Mr.. Astor
draws his money from this country
he would be forced to pay the
Government his share Of the ex-
penses for the protection given his
possessions.
To. day every laborer is obliged
to pay his taxes. He has to stand
ready to defend the land from at
tack, and if necessary give his life
for the upholding oil the Govern.
ment. No iair minded man who
enjoys the blessings OF a demo-
cratic government refuses to do
this. II is his duty, and he is quick
to render the necessary aid. Astor
has interests that amount to mil
lions; yet he does nothing for the
country that gives his land its
value. Does man have to be a
political economist to appreciate
