why Not Return England's FaVorF
Several famous bishops OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, OF
which President Mckinley is a
member, send earnest indorse-
ments OF peace and arbitration
But there is difference oi opinion
among them as to the exPedIency
ofmaking friendly representations
especially just at this time.
If the small reverses in South
Africa in any way aRe-' Great
Britain's prestige IN Europe or the
apparently inevitable end OF her
conflict with the two reprblics, 1t
the Beers had beaten a superior or
even an almost equal force, or II
they had lost their heads to the
extent of believing they could beat
the British in the end, the time
would be inopportune.
But the Beers, as DR.. LeYds said,
are not deceived and only hope so
to engage Britain that some Euro
pean powers will seize the oppor-
tunity to attack her. Nor is it i'm
probable that tt ey will succeed IN
this effort. Great Britain realizes
the perilous position in which Mr..
Chamberlain has placed her. She
would go back if she could with
honor and with unimpaired pres
tige.
If President Mckinley were to
get from President Kruger, as be
easily could, a proposition that
would satisfy Great Britain, assum-
ing that Great Britain honestly
prefers peace to war, honestly has
no desire to destroy the two repub-
lies and seize their property, how
many thousands OF lives would be
saved, what a vast impending load
of taxation would be averted, and,
above all, what a sigh OF relief
would go up from all civilization
over the passing Of the threat OF a
general European war!
When Spain had assumed the
responsibility for the destruction
Of our war vessel and the assasslna-
tiun OF our sailors, when her Am
bassador had insulted US as peo-
pie and Mr.. Mckinley as the Pres
ident in a published letter; when
the appeals of hundred thousand
human beings starving and dying
at our very doors were ringing IN
our ears, when not a nation in the
world could question the disinter-
ested justice of our course, Mr.
Mckinley received the British
Ambassador with his associated
representatives Of the gTeaI
| powers and heard from MS lips
A pressing appeal to the feelings
| OF humanity and moderation OF the
President and the American peo
pie.
Why should President McKin
ley not return this internationa
| favor2 What deters him from show
ing that this American people is a
humane, as eager for peace ant
peaceful international methods a
the British people were on Apri
a7, 1882
Is not the venerable and fstin
guishei Bishop Fowler right wbe
he says:
at Mr.. Mckinley can secur
honorable peace acceptable to bot
parties he will deserve much OF tn
present and secure the grateful re

is now in order. From the rich
plains Of Asia Minor the Germans
may produce (as some colonizIng
power should long ago have done)
enough corn and cotton to supply
half Europe. The mineral wealth
of Asia Minor is also large, but
undeveloped. The Euphrates
Valley Rail way will be the chief
means in both agricultural and
mineral development. 1t will pro-
ceed from one OF the Mediterranean
harbors to harbor on the Persian
Gulf, a project which has been
under discussion for sixty years.
1t will be a short cut to India, and
thus England will assist Germany,

POST Berlin.

One half of the Indian army is always
in the hospitals; it is far from being
efficient, and could not meet trained
European troops. In consequence,
especially, of its hatred of the arrogant,
brutal English, it is on the whole
untrustworthy, so that English officers
hardly conceal their belief that after the
first defeat they would be murdered by
the troops. Another hostile factor
in case OF war is to be found in the
Indian Princes, who have secured
limited independence by treaty. 1t is
an open secret that these Princes have
caused troops to be instructed by Rus
sian officers according to modern meth
ods, and that they await favorable
opportunity to drive the hated oppressor
from the land All this smells Of
blood, and as a matter Of fact John Bull
sits on powder casks like a vampire who
has sucked his hll of the hearts blood
OF India while Russia holds in her hand
the lighted match. However
events turn out, Russia has the cards IN
her hands, and can win the game when
ever she chooses. There is nc
doubt that Russia, with her mighty army
and in league with the princes and
| peoples of India, is in a position o
material superiority to Albion, so hatec
for her deeds OF brutal violence and bel
lust Of plunder.

AS THE Sultan OF Sulu will not

A Censorship ITS Full Glory.

OehsOrsnap iu Tvs run NAoHf"
The dispatches from South
Africa illustrate the workings OF
the censorship in its perfection.
The Boer force sent to drive the
British away from Colenso and so
isolate Ladysmith was "cut to
pieces" Yet as the result of the
battle the British at Colenso re-
treated twenty miles to Estcourt'
where the Beers are now seen in
pursuit. Gen. White slipped
through the Boer lines news that
call are WE'LL" and that the Beers
are doing little damage. yet that
all are living in bomb-prooi places
and that he had asked permis-
sion" OF Gen. Joubert to ship every
body who was not fighting away to
the south-a request which Gen
| JoubeTt very properly refused, al
the same time giving permission
tor everything to be done that hu
manitY required and that a regarC
for his du les as besieging genera
allowed. Maniiestly these des
patches are almost worthless a
news. We do not know what
going on in Ladysmith or in Nata
beyond stupid censorship whic
a free people that has to foot a
the bills OF war ought not to en-
Z dure.

The question of the time in which

rection or to repel invasion IS therefore

With our edu cation, habits ana eXpei
ience the nation in the midst OF peace is
prepared for war.
We know not what conflict Sec
retary Root foresees which, IN mis-
Judgment, renders necessary the
permanent provision for a large
standing army among the people
If he and the President would like
to know The effect on the public
mind of the use OF armed forces Tor
shooting down workingmen, we
refer them to the story oi the
Homestead massacre in Pennsyl-
vania in 1899, when private army
enlisted IN Chicago invaded P mn
sylvania in advance of riot which
was created for the purpose Of
being suppressed. The murder ol
workIngmen on that occasion in
Carnegie's works defeated BenJa-
min Harrison for reelection and
elected Grover Cleveland.
The price OF liberty is eternal
vigilance. The time to resist the
importation into this country OF
the European system Of militarlsm
is on the floors OF the two Houses
OF Congress. The people have
friends enough there among their
own representatives to defeat the
administration policy OF putting
the people OF che United States
under a great military guard at
their own expense.

Aguinaldo's Ridiculous Speech.

Aguinaldo's address on the So
called Filipino independence day is
not calculated to bear out the claims
of those who maintain that he is a
great and wise leader, worthy to be
placed on a pedestal alongside of
Washington. His speech, though ex-
ceedingly flowery, is entirely lacking
in any argument worthy of the name
His apostrophe to Spain is certainly
under all the circumstances, in singu-
larly bad taste, and it is not likely to
be appreciated by the people of that
country, in view of the treatment their
government has received at the hands
of the speaker and his followers.
The remarkable feature of the ad-
dress is the appeal to his followers to
continue opposing American authority
because by doing so in the end he as
serts, the great American Nation will
acknowledge that right is on their side
With the most brazen falsehood he
declares to his ignorant supporters
that "some states Of the American
Union have risen in our favor. Es-
pecially is the Democratic party CON
vinced that both victors and vanquish-
ed will lose precious lives" This is
followed by an attack upon President
Mckinley and a lot of other equally
ridiculous stuff calculated to convey
the impression to the Filipinos that if
they will only continue to fight pubic
sentiment in this country will compel
the recognition Of their independence.
In all this can be seen the nefarious
work accomplished by the unpatriotic
and un-American "aunties" of the
United States iney have simply fur
nished material for arguments to
Aguinaldo which will result in the
deaths of thousands of his deluded fol-
lowers and the loss OF many precious
American lives. Agulnaldo is unjust
to the great number of loyal Demo-
Gratis who are standing by the govern
ment and its brave soldiers and sailors
in the Philippines, and of whom Gen
Wheeler is a striking exemplar; but
his words ought to forever discredit
such recreants as William J. Bryan
and others OF his ilk who are giving
greater aid and comfort to the enemies
OF their country by their fire In the
rear than II they volunteered and
fought under the Filipino chieftian's
own battle fiag.-Pittsburg Times.

Mclean Wants the Presidency.

Bernard, of Cincinnati, O., Who is
actively engaged just at present in
promoting John R. McLean's guberna-
otrial stock, conferred with several
Ohio politiclas today He is trying to
harmonize the factions here in the in
terests of Mr.. Mclean, but declares
that Mclean can get the Ohio nomin-
alton without Cuyahoga county, but
that he may need the county pretty
badly on election day.
Bernard said about McLean's ambi-
tions:
"The office Of president OF the Unit
ed States is the ultimate goal OF Mr..
John Mclean. 1t is a matter for the
future to determine when he shall go
after this honor In the meantime he
is seeking the gubernatorial nomina-
ton"
Bernard was asked tonight II 1t was
true, as charged that John r. Nc
Lean is in a movement to sldetraek
Mr.. Bryan for the presidency in 1900.
1T is not true" he replied. Mr..
Mclean is not In any anti-Bryan
movement. He is in favor of the can
dldacy of Mr.. Bryan for president in
1900 and feels that his turn will come
later OF course everyone knows that
the governorship frequently is step
ping stone for the United States SEN
ate and other national honors. and

McLean's ambitions for the future
have been too well threshed over to
need repetition here.
Bernard spent considerable time to-
day with Mayor Farley, leading city
officials and prominetn members of the
Farley facdon. He declared he was
not here to fix the Cuyahoga delega-
tion, though he hinted that If the
Democratic factions would get togeth-
er they might get second place on the

Reprobate,
Why don't you wait
A bit
And take a vacation?
Quit
Your endless treadmlll gait
And give a fellow
A chance
To catch, up with himself.
You grab a man
By the slack of his neck
And throw him into
The middle of the next century
Before he is old enough
To know how to handleN
His think machine,
Or be happy,
And then blame him
For landing on his frontal outlines
And getting all SCARED up!
You face him
With an eight-day alarm clock
And hoodoo him into thinking
There is an eternity
Between the windings;
But every tick drives nail
Into his coffin
And he turns gray-headed
While you run.
He eats dirt
And wears rags
And calls it civilization,
Because he is dazen
From humping along 5
In the trail of the dust you make
While dragging him
With rope around his neck,
You old whirlwind!
Confound you
You rope him
And give him Jerk,
And he has to be
A multi-iointed,
AmbideXtrous,
Iron-hearted

To land on his feet

And give a man a chance
To clean the sand out Of his eyes!
