Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1899-12-13

We are not inclined to question the
statement that somewhat of the Brit
ish disaster at Ladysmith was due to
the stampeding of the mules. but We
raise indignant protest against the in
timation that they were American
mules. whether from Missouri. Georgia
or elsewhere on this continent. 1t is
not for a moment to be believed that
an American mule would fee from
powders or bullets. Who does not re-
call the heroism and fortitude of that
solitary and lonesome mule who un-
fiinchingly yielded up his life at the
bombardment of Matanzas? Though
he was the mule of our erstwhile enc
my, he possessed the true character
istics of the American mule. While he
has neither pride Of ancestry nor hope
Of posterity." the American mule is no
coward, nor Is he gutter. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY some low down African mules
that caused the disaster to the Britons,
II the mules caused 1t at all.

The Tyranny of Fashion.

Is there not something incongruous
In that the gentler sex, the sex most
given to pity and tenderness toward all
weak and helpless things, should be-
come the worst enemy of the birds?
Despite the efforts of the Audubon So
cieties and lovers of birds generally to
arouse public sentiment against 1t, the
sacrifice of bird life on the altar Of
fashion goes on relentlessly.
A report just sent out by the Nation
al musuem at Washington gives list
Of BIRDS which have actually become
extinct by cruel and useless slaughter.
1t is stated that certain other species
will be 'exterminated unless some Wig
orous measures are adopted to prevent
It. 1t is encouraging to be informed
that the scientific bureaus at Washing
ton are collecting more accurate infor-
nation In regard to the birds of the
country, with view to their better
protection.
In some states 1t is made misde-
meanor to have in ones possession any
dead. harmless bird other than game
birds and those only in the season
which the law permits them to be kill
ed. But the law Is ineffective. In al
most any city or good sized town in
any state where such law exists 1t
would be no trouble for a policeman
within the space of a block to round up
a wagon load of women wearing dead
birds on their headgear, but he doesn't
do 1t, primarily because public senti-
ment does not demand the enforce
ment of the law. 1t is hard thing to
antagonize the tyranny of fashion and
legislate against the woman's bonnet.
To the shame of our civilization be 1t
said that legislation alone cannot save
the birds. The most effective means
for their preservation lies In an awak-
ened and enlightened public sentiment
setting itself resolutely against the
practice of using birds for millinery

Uniform Divorce Laws.

Progress, slow, but seemingly sure,
fs being made in the movement to Sc
cure the enactment in all the states of
the Union of uniform divorce laws.
As it took 20 or 80 years to get new
uniform bankruptcy law passed, on ac-
count of the prejudices and prefer
ences Of the public In different local.
ties, so 1t may be long time before
public sentiment is brought up to a
realization of the demorallzing charac-
ter of our differing state divorce laws
and the flippancy of the causes for
breaking the marriage bond which pre-
walls in some of the states. Legisla-
ton must be strongly backed by pub
Lie sentiment or it will prove valueless.
The moral force, the moving force, is
not contained in mere statute. 1t is
found In the public conscience. How
ever, uniform legislation is most de-
sirable step.
The national commissioners on uni
form laws have prepared general
statute upon the subject of divorce
which every state will be asked to fol-
low. The uniform laws commissioners
Of many of the states have already
approved of the proposed law, which
provides:
Divorce from the bond of marriage shall be
granted for the following causes arising after mar
rage: Adultery, extreme cruelty, habitual drunk
enness or the confirmed habit OF intoxication.
whether arising from the use Of alcoholic drinks
or drugs; conviction Of felony. with sentence OF
state prison penitentiary. and continuous de-
sertion for at least = years. Divorce from the
bond Of marriage shall not be granted for any
other causes arising from marriage.

|NSURRECTION IN CHINA
INFLICTED BY THE
INSURGENTS.
Imperial Troops Defeated-CitiesL Loot
ed and Burned-Men, Women and
Children Slaughtered.

VICTORIA, March China is once
more disturbed by serious insurrec-
ton. This time it is the central pro-
vinces of the unrestful land that are
involved. In the province of Anhui
depredations were committed by the
rebels, who, led by Niu sub Hsin, are
over 10000 strong. The imperial troops
under General Kuo, met them in a bat
tie, and were defeated with great loss.
Hundreds were killed and their bodies
after having been mutilated were all
thrown into the river until, accord
ing to a correspondent of the China
Mail, the stream was like a damned
creek.
After the defeat of the imperial SOL
diers the victorious rebels swept on to
the cities of Kuyang and Mengsheng,
which they took after a short siege. AS
soon as they passed the walls they mas
sacred men, women and children, and
performed all manner of revolving
crimes. They afterward pillaged the
Yamen and the residences and stores
and then applied the torch to the capt
ured towns.
After these successes the rebels
pushed on to Shashou and KauChon.
The gates of the former city were OPP
ened by sympathizers within and the
horrors were re-enacted.
KauChon held out for some time. AZ
length Niu and his followers gained an
entrance to begin their slaughter. AS
revenge for his having held the city
against the rebels the unfortunate
commandant of the garrison was
butchered with savage cruelty. 1t is
said 2000 men, women and children fell
in the struggle attending the capture
of the city.

REJECTED OUR MAGGoTs.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-State
Horticultural Inspector Alexander
Craw yesterday prevented the landing
on American soil Of n choice collection
of perniCious maggots which arrived
in a consignment of cucumbers on the
steamship Australia. The maggots,
Craw says are the most disgusting
pest known to horticulturists. AS far
as he knows it has never gained en-
trance to the United States and if he
can prevent it, never will. Had the
shipment condemned yesterday been
landed and allowed to go on the mar
ket, Mir. Craw believes the pest now
known as the melon and cucumber
maggot, would have spread all over the
country in twelve months. 1t has gain
ed a strong hold in the islands of the
south seas. 1t is very prolific, almost
impossible to eradicate and one of the
most destructive parasites so far DIS
covered.

SULLIVAN RESTORED.
The Courtmartailed Paymaster Gets
His Rank Back.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The pro-
posed restoration of a former pay Off
Ger of the navy to his corps with the
rank he would have had had a court
martial not dismissed him from the
service, is causing bitter comment
among paymasters. But the president
is understood to have ordered that a
commission be made out for his sigma
ture and the appointment viii unques-
tionably be issued.
The case is that of former Paymaster
John Clyde Sullivan, who was dismiss
ed from the navy a few years ago for
embezzlement it having been alleged
that he made personal use of govern
ment funds to the amount of $4,000.
For a number of years a bill has
been before congress to restore him
to his former corps with the rank lie
would have had held but for dismissal
The measure was defeated at every
session until the one just ended, when
it was passed and signed.
Both Paymaster Sullivan and his
wife were well known in Honolulu.
