Perfectly Disgusting,

We are more than ashamed Of
the position in which our country
has been placed by the Mckinney
Administrator. The United
States seem to be governed en-
tirely by England. We are almost
part Of England.
England not only seizes cur
shipping and merchandise IN neu-
trail ports, on neutral vessels, in
Delagoa Bay, but American men.
ot.war are actually dong police
duty for Great Britain on the West
Coast OF Africa, relieving English
men of-war, so that they can 60 to
Delagoa Bay and seize our vessels.
whilst our men-ol-war take the
place Of Engllsh vessels to fight
for English interests on the other
side OF Africa.
And the Democrats--what are
they doing? Do they take any
earnest steps to stop this ou'rage7
Do they still talk silver to make
it a sure thing for McKInley's sec
ond term, when under no circum-
stances can they do anything for
silver in Congress for the next six
years. Are hey so infatuated that
they must permit the destruction
OF the repu blic2
Let them stop the cruel, merci-
less Philippine war! THIS is OF the
first importance. To stop the war
will diminish the army, lessen the
dangers from imperialism, and put
an end to the enormous taxation.
Those who are for the war are not
Democrats and ought to be kicked
out. Their places will be more
than filled by patriotic RepublI-
cans. There must be no traitors
in our ranks. Those Democratic
Senators who favor Mckinley and
his war must be ousted. They are
worse than Republicans.
Congress has practically done
nothing so far. Nc KinleY's pol
icy continues uninterrupted. All
over the country meetings should
be held in favor oi peace and
against the English alliance policy.
No time IS to be lost, Tor the coun-
try and ITS Liberties are IN danger.
II Mr.. Mckinley is re-ele e:ted he
will get a third and fourth term,
a.d so on. The country, under
the imperralistic trusts sway, will
have no more elections by the
people.

Are We aiding EnRIaud7

According to Information re-
ceived by Senator Mason, the
United States cruiser Montgomery
is doing police duty for the British
on the African coast. The Sena.
tor proposes to make his informa.
tion the subject of a resolution OF
inquiry in the Senate.
Senator Mason's informant is an
officer on board the Montgomery,
whose name, Of course, is not to be
made public Tor fear OF the wrath
that would be visited upon him by
the Navy Department officials.
According to this officer, the Brit
ish have taken away all their ships
from the colony Of Sierra Leone,
on the western coast OF Africa, an
sent them to the east coast to
cruise IN the neigh5orhood oi Del
agoa Bay, where, among other
things, they are seizing American
-four. When ;he ships went away

showed signs Of uprising, and the

apparant purpose Of overawing the
discontented people. While en-
gagged in this alleged police duty,
the American officers and men are
suffering great discomfort and are
threat:ned with fever, Sierra
Leone being known as "the white
mans grave" Itis said that there
is no reason tor keeping the Mont
gomery in the vicinity OF Sierra
Leone.
Senator Mason's resolution will
ask the Secretary Of the Navy il
the MONTGOMERY is rem AMINO at
Sierra Leone in pursuance Of any
understanding with Great Britain,
and il not, WHY the cruiser should
be kept in that vicinity.

The Battle or.New Orleans

lasted twenty FIVE minutes. One
half OF the American army did not
fire a shot, the battle being fought
by the two ends OF thei. lines.
During that brief period seven
hundred British troops were killed,
fourteen hundred wounded and
FIVE hundred were taken prisoners.
OF the American side eight were
killed and thirteen wounded. This
was the work Of the American rifle
IN the hands OF backwOodsmen.
The fight Of the Beers against
the English reminds US OF Jackson
and his battle at New Orleans in
1915. We hope the result will be
the same.

We are, says the LyfSh Woyld, in

song OF the angels, who sang
GLORY to God in the highest anc

song should forever ring in the
ears ol Christendom. Yet we hear
Of nothing and read of nothing but
war, war, war! And the two ma
tions-England and the United

lenses of carrying the blessings OF

they rob and slaughter and burn

Of their conversionl
Could the Devil himself, "a liar

England's outrages on the rights

strange. Her infamous career OF
piracy and assassination goes back
to time immemorial. She is typj-

Now all this is changed. This
republic ofours, under McKinley's

republic. She is not content with
being a mere nation-she wants to
be a world power" as the big
marauding nations like to dub
themselves. She wants to be an

British Interference with our Trade
The act Of the British in arrest
ing cargoes OF American -four on
their way to a Portuguese port in
South Africa was simply lawless
aggression upon the trade Of two
neutral nations both at peace with
Great Britain. The question
whether or not flour is contraband
OF war does not enter into consid
Grafton IN the case. For contra
band Of war is forbidden only to
enter hostile ports, and this -four
was not shipped to anv port held
by any nation at war with Great
Britain.
Il was a shipmt Mt made in the
orderly course OF trade be ween
American and Portuguese ports,
from American to Portuguese
merchants. 1t was as void OF Of
tense IN international law as if the
-four had been consigned to Havre
or Bremeh.
II ioodstuffs are to be recognized
as contraband, and il every nation
is free in time Of war to stop them
in transit not to the enemy but to
a neutral country, on the ground
that they may ultimately be sold
to the enemy, what will be the
state of Europe in case oi war;
| Suppose war on between France
and Austria, for example. Either
nation, under the precedent now
sought to be established, could
forbid the shipment Of American
grain, provisions and -four to Ger
many, England, Italy or Turkey,
lest the foodstuffs should ulti.
nately find their way to the enemy
This doctrine is so utterly un.
tenable, and might in conceivable
contingencies operate so disas-
trously to Great Britain itself,
that it is not probable the Govern
ment OF that country will seriously
insist uponit. Should it do so oul
Governmen- cannot be too pr omp'
or too emphatic in its protest.
