II is all true, my friends and I ask the
question OF you: Did our liberty pen
ring in vain? History tells Us that when
the Declaration was about TO be signed
the people gathered in the streets ana
waited for the signal, ana finally When
those immortal names were afnXed TO the
immortal document the old liberty bell
rang out and the peoples caught up the
sound and Cheered and cheered again
And from that day TO this that HOerty
bell has been carried from State to State
and from city to city. and eyes have filled
with tears as they SaZed upon tnat sa-
cred relic Of Revolutionary days.
Did that liberty bell ring in vain? Must
its tones no more be heard? Was the
Declaration a lie? Have We been false for
q hundred years in declaring taat govern

vent the two great English-speaklng
nations from engaging in conflicts OF
arms. We entertain the belief, founded
upon a strong hope and based on the
self-interest of each party, that war
will be ayerted and the boundary dis

gressive feeling runs abnormally high
in Canada is evidenced by the fact that
the fantagonistie political parties in the
Dominion have declared an armistice
and joined forces meanwhile to support
the demand of Premier Laurier for ar

heat of feeling on this side.

A HELPLESS POLICE FORCE.

The New York Herald" declares that
some one is needed to guard the police
of that city; that conditions are sucn
now that the police of the great me-
tropolis is blind, deaf and paralyzed,
and unless protection is afforded them
some rascal may do the force injury.
This irony is not wholly unwarranted
Recently several Captains of police in
New York swore that they did not
know of a disreputable house, a gam
ing hell Or a policy shop in their dis
tricts. They had heard of them, but
they knew of none. They had heard OF
this and that place, but they did not
know the proprietors, nor that any
thing wrong went on inside.
Five patrolmen on beats in the dis
tricts most infested by criminals had,
they testified, made no arrests for
year except for drunkenness. They had
heard of crimes being committed but
knew of aone. On a New York ferry
boat recently some ruffians beat a ne
gro to a jelly. and two police officers
looked on and made no effort to stop
the brutality or to arrest the offenders,
because the place of the crime was
without their beats. Two men charged
with murder recently were placed in
cells at the Forty street sta
ton, but as the locks were out Of re-
pair the murderers opened the doors
and walked out directly past the Cap
tain, Sergeant and a dozen rounds
men sitting in the main offices.
Some young thieves went to Bleeck-
er-street factory and actually carted
off five truckloads of goods without the
police interfering. Captain Chapman of
that district walked by while the theft
was going on, and an engineer called
his attention to it, but the Captain
told him to attend to his own business,
he knew his. Now the owner of the
stolen goods is preparing to sue the
city for the value of his stock carteG
away under the very noses Of the Off
GERS, who are thick on Bleecker street
at all times.
These are but sample cases of COM
plants against the New York police
force that are piling up mountain high.
We may expect a sensational attack
upon the force presently by indignant
citizens, and another stir up that will
develop any amount of scandal where
there ought to be the least, since New
the land, the best equipped, and more
liberality in its outfit is manifest than
in any city in the Union.

ANARCHY IN CLEVELAND.

= If the dispatches are to be credited
land, Ohio, are a cowardly lot, rrelse
they are distinctly playing into the
hands Of the mob.
1t seems that no sufficient force is
called out to preserve the peace; when
non-union motormen arm to protect
themselves from murderous assaults
by rioters, they are arrested, dis
armed and turned loose to become the
victims of armed opponents. For there
is no intimation thrown out that the
disarming order runs against the riot
ers
A street car on Sunday was dyna-
mited and several people serious
ly wounded, and at least one fatally
So. Yet we have no account of any
successful. effort to arrest the Offend
ers. A sergeant and single militia
man ana one policeman were dis
patched to protect a car loaded with
passengers. These were set upon, Of
course, by the mob. Plainly such a
guard was nothing less than an invita-
= tion to assault.
Throughout the lawlessness in Cleve-
land, now continuing several weeks,
the local authorities appear to have
shown the white feather and to have
manifested sympathy with the lawless
rather than intention to do their duty
fearlessly. The arm Of authority is
sufficiently strong in Ohio to sup
press the Cleveland mob, but it does
not appear to have been invoked save
in feeble sort Of a way, which in
stead of cowing the murderous mob in
flames and encourages it. The peo-
pie of Ohio may we'll ask themselves if
anarchy has not come to stay in the
second of their chief cities.
Since the foregoing was prepared ad-
vices are at hand that still another
car was dynamited on Sunday night
and several persons were injured. The
authorities have now called out the
city troops and say they viii appeal
for State forces also, as the disorder
must be suppressed "at any COST But

under mob rule for nearly three

THE THREAT OF CANADA.

The official declaration of Laurier.
In the Parliament House, Is that war or
arbitration must speedily ensue in this
boundary trouble. Either Canada,
backed by Great Britain, must go to
war or we must speedily arbitrate the
Alaskan boundary question.
We have no idea that the nations will
go to war. Neither desires it, neither
can afford it. A war upon the Cana
dian border would be next to fratricidal.
1t would be an unnatural war, with
consequences of such surprising breadth
and calamitous outcome as history has
not recorded. Yet it Is within the range
of possibilities. So far as our own coun-
try is concerned it has nothing to regret
in the position it has assumed. 1t
plainly, reasonably and without ambig-
uity interprets and calls of the pur-
chase treaty whereby we acquired
Alaska from Russia. No forced or
to these calls.
Canada on her side has persistently
declined to state her demands in a
manner rendering it possible to create
a base for agreement to arbitrate. If
the Canadian Government would but
set forth clearly the grounds of her con-
tention for the line she claims, wa
might be able to file a rejoinder which
would join issues and thus render either
agreement or arbitration easy.
Throughout this whole matter Canada
has been a buffer. Her entire pro-
cedure has been outside usual diplo-
matte methods. She has practically
driven by threats and menace the
mother country into bolstering her po-
sition. The offer to create temporary
divisional line has fallen through be-
cause agreement on our part to such a
line would be concession of rights plain
ly written into the record which we
cannot afford to ignore. Now comes
the threat to expel ell American miners

claimed line. If this is attempted moth.

1t is suggested by a contemporary
and with much force, that the shout
of the yellow press against the opera
tions of the army in Luzon is the nat
ural result of the exaggerated, boastful
and mendacious reports of the same
yellow press early in the campaign.
Then 1t inflated every incident favora-

the most inconsequential of movements
into marches of victory; every skirmish
was a battle of triumph and every SOL
dier a hero worthy of shoulder straps,
while we were told the insurrection
would be crushed in week In short
the yellow press overdid the thing in
kindling hopes and impressing beliefs
that were unwarranted. The fact is
that we have been engaged in actual
war with the Filipinos only since Feb-
ruary last: that we have not lost a sin
gle battle; that we have occupied so
much of the country as could have been
reasonably expected prior to the on

movement is well nigh impossible; that

pany them to the police station of the near

that he had been informed of vast amount

marched him off; but soon, at a crossroads
