Stop the War.

Unless the Government pretty
soon recalls those volunteers who,
having enlisted for the war with
Spain, are now clamoring to be
discharged, solely because the
object for which they enlisted has
been accomplished and they are
not in sympathy with the policy
which compels them to. turn their
guns upon their former allies, our
soldiers will be open to the charge
Of "Hessians. Like those much
abused people, who were COM
PEELED TO render military service
wherever they were sent, in a
cause they might abhor ana against
a people who might be Of their
own flesh and blood, our soldiers
are now engaged in a task they
desprse and for the prosecution OF
which they did not enlist. Against
their will, like their Hessian bro.
thers, they are forced to fight, and
all their appeals for release from
so degrading a service, alike from
themselves and their families at
home, tall upon unsympathetic
ears.
"In the name Of God" writes
one despairing mother to the Gov
ernor Of Nebraska, land the moth
ers Of Nebraska, cannot you do
something to relieve the regiment
that has borne the bruuto of the fight
ing since the Derinning2 here
are few left Why should they be
sacrificed in this unrighteous
cause2 They enlisted only tor the
war with Spain, but now are held
and compelled to give their lives
tor nothing. Must we submit to
the despotism OF Otis in retaining
our sons under protest."
The above is but one OF many
similar appeals.
The "Hessians" of the Revolu-
ton never fought a more ignoble
fight or more unwilling one, than
are our soldiers IN the Philippines.
Do we wish TO save our soldiers
from the opprobrious charge OF !
Hessianism7 Then let US with
draw our men from the Philippines
end the war and give freedom |
under our protsctorate Unnecessary, !
TO the people in whose behalf we |
took up arms.

Next week at the Columbia the
Frawley Company will present one Of
William Grllette's most successful
comedies, entitled ''All the Comforts OF

Stock Company presented this comedy,

The Frawley Company, which up to

and artistic efficiency the efforts Of the
best COMPANIES heretofore claimed by

The Washington Post

published by the former Demo
cratic Congressman, Beriah Will
kins, Of Ohio, had an editorial last
week in which It protested against
a union OF the German. Americans
tor political pur poses. The Posi-
is the Washington Court Journal.
1t always goes with the Admins
tration. especially when the latter
is Republica n, for the Pest is then
Gin clover" This is the reason it
wishes a continuance in power Of
the Republican party.
The Post is afraid that if the Ger
man-Amencans vote together, and
form, like the Irish. Americans, a
unit, the Republican party will
lose at least half dozen States
and be defeated.
Now why should the German.
Americans follow the Post, split
their vote and re elect the Repub-
lican Presidential ticket7 Can they
ever forget the bad treatment they
have received at the hands of Nc
KinleY and his partY7 Have they
ever stood politically so low as at
present. Has the German name in
the United States ever been oi so
little influence and respect as now7
And then can they forgive the
treatment which their former coun-
tTYmen so unjustly and wantonly
received at Manila and Samoan
Can they ever forgive the Anglo
Saxon Holy-Alliance and the lat
ter's outrlges and cruelties to-
wards poor and weak races2 Can
they endorse Mr.. McKinIey's I'm
perial expansion and criminal
aggression1" Can they continue to
assist the meanest hypocrisy and
sham Of self government
Nol They cannot and will not.
They are going to Gust the misera-

1t is rumored that the Court oi
InquiTy's report will be vindica-
tion Of the beef packers and the
Commissary Department. While
General Miles will not be cen
sured, the information upon which
he based his charges will be dis
credited, the court holding that
no testimony was adduced to sus-
tain them The canned roast beet
will be said to have been whole
some and nutritious when il left
the manufacturers, and It will be
stated that the refrigerated beei

1t is to be hoped that this fore
cast may not be verified. Had the
Court Of Inquiry held its sessions
in secret such a report as is threat
ened might possibly have been ac-
cepted by the public. But the tes-
timOny Of hundreds OF reputable
witnesses has put General Miles's
charges absolutely beyond ques-
ton. The people have fixed the
responsibility, and no amount of
whitewash by the Court Of Inquiry
can blot out the evidences OF guilt.

The March Of the Cossaok.

The news that Russia has
secured a port in the Persian Gull
that is, in the Indian Ocean-is
causing in England the futter that
invariably follows any surface
indication Of Russia's stealthy but
steady forward movement. For
two centuries Russia has been
pursuing a single definite policy
with that inAexible persistence
which can only be found in
despotism ever controlled by minds
of the same traditional way OF
thinking. Russia has been baftied
and often DETECTED. But she has
always returned, no matter by hoW
devious ways. to her original
course.
Starting two centurias ago with
a single sea outlet-the Gulf Of
Finland-she extended her power
until she controlled the Eastern
Baltic and had free way into the
North Atlantic. She stretched
out to the south until she haCl
gained an outlet into the Mediter.
ranean through the Black Sea.
She stretched out to the east until
she reached far down into the
Pacific and was in 4 position t.
dominate by sea and land tb /.
Eastern Asiatic trade. Down
through Central Asia she marched
until she was halted by finding
England between her and the
Indian Ocean. Latterly she has
apparently abandoned her intTi-
CUES TO break through the English
bar, and has been addressing her
self to the domination oil Persia
with a view to reaching the Indian
Ocean through the Persian Gulf
1t is highly probable that the ac-
QUESTION of this pert means that
Russia has triumphed, has circum
vented England and has won over
Persia to be her actual vassal and
dependency.
Russia has an advantage shared
by no other nation except the
United States. And latterly the
United States have shown a dis.
position to throw this advantage
away and leave her the only great
nation which, though having many
ports on many widely separated
seas and oceans, yet can reach all
Of them overland as we'll as by
water.
Russia cares for no country that
| cannot be developed by railroads
centring in her own central do
mains and so developing them.
She wants no races that she cannot
assimilate. The result OF this pol
icy is the present Russian Empire,
vast and expanding on all sides, yet
compact and continuous and hom-
! ogeneOus. No wonder the Eng
! lishman is enraged by the contrast
between this splendid solidarity
and his own scattered and hetero-
| geneous empire that is inevitably
| doomed to dissolution.
Is it not strange that American
statesmen in planning "em Iire"
should most eagerly copy the one
feature Of England's empire that is
weakest and that England would
most resolutely have avoided if
she could?

Missouri Editors Protest Against
UufriendIy sentiments.
The German newspaper pub
fishers OF Missouri held a meeting
last Wednesday at the Office OF the
WcskHche Post tor the purpose
II determining their position re-
garding the new policy of imperi-
alism and mllitarism. DR., Emil
Prestorius, editor OF the Vest
Hcke Pest, the most representa-
tive German newspaper in this
section. the Nestor of the German
press OF America, presided, and a
lengthy discussion by all news
paper men present followed
The resolutions adopted recite that:
Systematic and uninterrupted
efforts have been made during the
past twelve months to destroy by
misrepresentation and unfounded
sensations, the good feeling and
the old historic friendship between
tbe United States and Germany.
These malicious intentions have
created among the German Amer
lean population the greatest indig-
nation. We therefore regard &c
our duty as loyal citizens to de.
nounce this continued falsehood
and Misrepresentation, which en-
dangers the old friendship of he
two countries.
"The friendship betW cen the
Uaited States and Germany is as
old as the history OF the grea,
American Republic. and has lasted
uninterruptedly. AS the Govern
ment of Frederick the Great was
the first European power which
acknowledged the young Repub.
lie Of the United States, Germany
was the first to acknowledge the
supremacy OF the United States in
the Philippines. This fact alone
proves plainly that Germany has
no unfriendly intentions and nc
desire to oppose US in the Orient
"In the glorious history of the
United States iron the time o.
Washington to the Civil War, the
German American population has
shown strong and patriotic loyalty
to the Union, as they will do in the
future. We German Americans
and the Germans in the old coun.
try have been cruelty misrepre.
sented. We proved our loyalty
during the past war, and will con
tinue to prove it, whatsoever the
future may bring. But we protest
most emphatically against all false
hoods and intrIgues which are in
tended to interrupt in the interest
OF England the friendship between
the United States and Germany"
