The Kansas City Star takes very
when it carries their argument to its
logical conclusion and points out what
would have to be done in case the
view were generally accepted that the
white man has no right to impose his
rule OH the dark peoples.
First, says che Star, we will recall
the British army from India, disband
the native regiments in the British
service and let the great empire take
care of itself We will then withdraw
the power of the Anglo-Saxon from
Egypt. France will evacuate its
North African possessions. Let Rus
STA return to Europe and cease its
sway over Turcoman and Mongol.
Cease holding the Afghans in check.
Let the Burmese alone, they must
have their rights to rule themselves
as they will. Order the fleets home
from China, for if it is wrong to rule
the dark and slant-eyed races, it is
wrong to intimidate them and force
them to concede anything against
their will and wish. Order an exodus
from South Africa. Let ZANZIBAR rule
itself. Abolish the Congo free state.
Tell Dewey and Otis to come home
Take off the weight that holds the
dark races.
If the False Prophet, with the
standard of fanaticism, overruns

AMERICAS sHippINa KEvIvING.

An important step in the direction
of reviving our shipping in the foreign
carrying trade was taken ON Thurs
day, Jan. %, when the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce and the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, each separately agreed to
report to their respective branches of
Congress in favor of the adoption of
the bill to restore American ships to
the high seas, through the passage
of the bill introduced in the House by
Representative Payne, of New York,
and in the Senate by Senator Hanna,
of Ohio.
This bill has been so thoroughly dis
cussed throughout the county as TO
require little or no explanation at this
time. 1t proposes that the United
States Government shall compensate
American ships, engaging in the for
eign carrying trade of the United
States, sufficiently to enable them to
compete with the subsidized and
bountied ships of the nations that
now practically monoplize our foreign
carrying. The justification for this
plan of compensating American ships,
as has been SO well and so frequently
said, is the value of the ships aud the
A merican seamen they will be COM
PEELED to employ will be to the United
States Government in another such u
possibleiemergency as confronted the
nation last summer during our war
with Spain. The Government of the
United States merely proposes to COM
pensate these ships sufficiently to at
tract American capital into their own
ership and American citizens into
their navigation. This compensation,
it is admitted, would probably be I'M
necessary if other maritime nations
did not pay their merchant ships,
in subsidies and bounties, nearly $685.
100000 annually.
The prospect for the passage of this
bill is extremely bright, at the pres
ent session of Congress, in view of the
favorably action taken by the COM
mittees above referred to.

A THRILLING STORY.

When the details of the charge OF
the Twentieth Kansas regiment at
Caloacan are told, says the Kansas
City Star editorially, there is reason
to believe that it will go into history
as one of the famous deeds of Ameri-
can arms. General Otis would not
have mentioned Colonel Funston by
name In his brief dispatches, from
among 30 many gallant commanders,
except for good cause. 1t was one
battalion-three companies-of the
regiment which charged into the cane
brake, where their comrades were
fighting odds, and, driving the enemy
before them, penetrated into the mas,

While the friends of Col. Fred
Funston rejoice at the honorable
mention he has received in the
d spatches of his commanding officers,
they are not surprised. They expect
ed of him just the display of
daring leadership that he has shown.
A coward would not have taken a
journey of thousands of miles, alone,
through the unexplored wilds OF
Alaska. A coward would not have

unpaid troops of Gomez and Garcia.

YOUNG MAN ELoouENr.

SENATOR BEvERIDGE, just elected
from Indiana, is one of the youngest
men ever sent to the United States
Senate. 1t is easy to understand his
success, however, if he is in the habit
of making speeches like the following
which is quoted as one of his recent
utterances;
The American people have never taken
fear for a counsellor. They have never
taken doubts as guide. They have obey
ed the Impulses OF their blood. They have
hearkened TO the veice OF our God, They
have surmOunted insuperable obstacles on
the wings OF a mighty faith; they have
solved insoluble problems by the SOW
ereign rule OF liberty; they have made the
bosom Of the ocean and the heart Of the
wilderness their home; they have sub
dued nature and told history a new tale.
Let American statesmanship listen TO the
heart beats OF the American people In the
present hour, and there win be no con-
fusion, no hesitation, no craven doubt
The faith OF the Mayhower as II sailed into
