located a mile above the mouth of
Shell river, was cut out or blown up
with dynamite Saturday night. The

Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, ia
known the world over as phiIan-
thropist. In her speech at recent
anti-imperialism meeting, she said
some things which will bring the war
before the people in a new way. She
said:
Every human being on the face OF the
earth is OF value to the human race.
Whenever a man has been shot for any
purpose the deed has confused progress
and arrested development. We must
decide all these questions by right and
not by force. The sentiment for peace is
growing in the world and new nuclues
for liberty is being formed. TO break
this down as America is doing now with
this war iu the Philippines makes it
more difficult in all generati ons to come
to bring about the needed reform. We
are tearing down a new democratic gov-
ernment. When the war started We
We're just about getting rid OF our heroes.
Then came this new war with it's batch
OF heroes. And the old spirit Of admir-
ing the hero who destroys instead of
building up was revived; the same love
OF gold lace burst forth again. Let rs
down this notion OF hero-worship Let
us believe that industry can be made as
picturesque as warfare. kipling with all
his genius will have to answer to this
charge-of confusing imperialism with the
advance Of civilization. War literature
has a bad influence. For ten years in
my neighborhood we were compara-
lively free from crime. but during the
months OF October and November last.
when the papers were filled with stories
OF bloodshed and the billboards pasted
up with pictures describing such scenes,
We counted seven murders. Could we
tolerate the whipping of children in the

WAsHINGToN's MEMORIAL


One hundred years ago last Friday
the founder of the American nation
passed away. The peacefulness of his
death was in keeping with the quiet
and undisturbed life which he had led
throughout his last days at Mount
Vernon. That his life might have
been prolonged had modern medical
methods been available is now gener-
ally conceded, and 1t is still open to
debate whether the course Of his doc
tors In copiously bleeding a man Of
his age was not the immediate cause
Of death. On Thursday he had caught
a severe cold while riding around his
estates. DR.. Craik, who was not sum-
moned until o'clock Saturday morn
ing. diagnosed the case as "cynaehe
traeheaIis," or Inflammation OF the
upper part of the windpipe." Recent
medical writer's have affirmed that the
symptoms point to a malady which
would now be known as acute oedemus
laryngitis. a comparatively rare COM
plant. The disease, at all events, in
terfered with breathing and progressed
rapidly. The physicians. after consul
tation. bled him profusely. taking from
him within the space Of thirteen hours

The cheap money forces. Really.
these Republican editors seem to be
blind to the conditions all around
them. They close their eyes to ali
the information contained in their
daily market reports. They put their
fingers in their ears and refuse to
listen to facts. Compared with the
most important of the worlds COM
modities, money was never cheaper In
this country than il is today. The de-
preciated greenback dollar would buy
in 1870 more iron than the gold dol
lar commands today Thus. as COM
pared with 1894. we have a fifty-cent
dollar with respect to cotton and with
respect to cotton products. and a thir-
ty-cent dollar with respect to iron.
In the face OF conditions plain to all.
the Republican editors go on denounc-
ing cheap money" in one breath and
applauding It's results in the next.
Cheap money is a delusion!" they cry,
and then add. Behold the prosperity
Of the country"
Wall street recently took up what
has been called 1.-The Coxey yell" and
demanded more money because they
didn't want to see the stock market
collapse under the influence of low
prices.
The Coxey YELL" il seems. is a
horrible. an alarming affair, when
heard in the south and west, or among
the common people, but when the
spectators. the gamblers and the
traders take It up, II becomes patri-
otto and fashionable. Not only so. the
editors take 1t up and remark that
the situation Is critical. and the con-
sentative financial writers who make
it a point to denounce the demand
for more money when It Is uttered by
the people, begin to make gloomy COM
ments on the monetary stringency."
and say that they confidently expect
the government to come TO the relief
Of the market.
II is treason for the people to ask
their own government to come to
their relief. but, as we have said. the
Coxey yell becomes the rallying cry
of patriotism when il is uttered in
the sacred domain OF Wall street. And
the government always responds. Re-
Gently it issued gold certificates; still
more recently il announced its readi-
ness to redeem S25.OOO.OOO worth of
bonds. paying 112 IS for bonds that
Cleveland sold for 1OS and 1O4: and
when expanding business conditions
in the interior drain Wall street again.
we shall hear the same Coxey yell.
and see the same demonstrations of
politeness and consideration on the
part of the government.
