THE PRESIDENTS GREAT
SPEECH.

President Mckinley has not been de-
voting 50 much time to the campaign as
has Col Bryan, but his speech at Min
neapolis yesterday indicates a disposi-
ton on his part to make the most OF the
opportunities offered. The occasion
was the celebration of the return OF
the Minnesota volunteers.
Standing in the hall, where seven
years ago he presided over the conven-
ton which nominated Benjamin Harri-
son for the presidency, President NC
Kinley pleaded the cause of territorial
expansion ia a manner that perhaps
has not been equalIed since the subject
came before the country. His speech
showed signs Of thorough preparation
and might well serve as the closing ar
gument on the side of the administra-
ton.
In and through it, moreover, was a
note of defiance of the opposition and
challenge to come on. Nowhere was
there a sign of weakness or a hint at
apology.
AS a key note sounder the president
has proved himself equal to the best
campaigner in his party. 49,

WHY HEARST DECLINED.

TFrOm the New Ork J Journal
The editor of the Journal has been
requested to sign a petition to Presi-
dent Mckinley urging him to inter
fere between England and the Beers,
to use the influence of the United
States to prevent England from inter
fering in Boer arrangements.
The editor of the Journal declines.
He believes that interference by Eng
land is legitimate, that civilization and
progress demand it. This belief is
based on the following facts:
The constitution and laws of the
Transvaal which really reflect the per-
sonaI wishes and religious prejudices
of Paul Kruger and a few other Dutch
men, forbid any Catholic to share in
the law making for the country. Eng
land demands that this discrimination
against Catholics cease.
The Transvaal laws forbid any Jew
to share the law making power.
England demands that this discrim-
fnation against the Jews cease.
There are $4,000 whites in the So
called Boer republic, but only $1,000 are
Beers.
The Beers declare that they are
merely asking the right to live"
What they really ask is the right of
six men to tyrannize over twenty, of
so. 600 to rule 200. 900, and rule them un-
justly. The Boer attitude is not de-
mand for freedom 1t is strictly an
attitude of denying freedom to others.
The BOer bosses controlled by Kruger
maintain a government by aristocracy,
an aristocracy based on birth-Dutch
birth.
If the Dutch who settled this island
had insisted on keeping the island
strictly Dutch; if they had refused to
any save Protestant Dutchmen all
share in the law-making power; if they
had forbidden children in the public
schools to be taught anything save
Dutch and miserable bastard Dutch,
they would have acted in America pre-
eisely as the Beers are now acting in
South Africa.
Could they have hoped to maintain
such an attitude? Could civilization,
morality, or any form of decency have
justly upheld them merely on the
ground that a power greatly superior
desired to compel the adoption of COM
mon sense methods? The appeal is
made and signed by eminent politicians
ito save a little republic from destruc-
tion at the hands Of a ruthless en-
pire.' Kruger's country is no republic
Kruger has been an absolute ruler
there for seventeen years. All power is
IN his hands and that of a council of
seven. They can and do ignore the
laws and orders of even the upper
house Of representatives The land of
the Beers is no republic. It is a
medieval, bigotry-ridden Dutch set
tlement, as great an anarchrOnism as
any in existence. This is the question
at issue in the TransvaaI:
Can six white men arbitrarily tax
twenty white men? Can six white men

The Star of all the ages
Has glOwed above thy birth;
Through every coming empire
Thy Kingdom shall extend,
And over all the nations
Its sway shall never end.
Thou art the first in heaven,
The first in earth art thou;
Before thy matchless beauty
Both men and angels bow:
We hail thee our Saviour,
We crown thee as our King,
And out of ali our treasures
The best we have we bring.
The glory of thy kingdom
Is ours to share with thee,
The SplendOr of thy conquest
Our mortal eyes shall see:
With all the host of heaven
We sing the song of praise
Exalting Him whose Kingdom
