Mrs. General John A. Logan

has our fullest sympathy on &C
count Of the loss OF her son. She
must, however, console herself for
there are many other mothers who
have sustained similar losses.
They have all to thank Mr.. Nc
Xinlev as the cause of their be-
reavements. IfMr. Mckinley had
not commenced that cruel war, tor
which there was no necessity, and
into which he would not have en-.
tered il he had not believed that it
would secure him a second term,
no tears would flow from the eyes
OF those now sorrowing mothers.
Mr. Mckinley has a heavy load
to carry. He is the author OF all

The Boer Struggle

carries US back to the times Of an
tiquity, when the Athenians fought
the immense hordes OF the Per-
slams. They too struggled for lib
erty and independence, and we
hope that the Beers may be as sue
cessful and that the armies OF the
British may be destroyed and dis
appear like those OF the Persians.
The hearts Of all liberty loving
people will throb for the handful OF
Beers, whose names will be craven,
no matter what the result Of the
struggle may be, IN golden letters
in the annals of glorious history.
Glorious history! Those words
remind US OF our "Old Glory"
which now greets and is entwined
around the emblem OF English op-
preston Of I776l Is that our "old
glory" which used o wave over
the land of the free, and now
faunts alongside oi England's over
a down trodden people doing ex-

Beers now, shook of the iron iet-
ters OF English civilizations

Glory" from English hands so that
again in justice we can sing the

Theatrical.

After an extended run Of nearly AGO
nights at the Manhattan Theatre in New
York, and an equally successful engage
menI Of fifty performances at the Park
Theatre, Boston, Washington is at last
to see mile. Fih," that sprightly,
risky, irolicsome young creature from
the Paris boulevards. The engagement
at the Columbia is limited to eight per.
formances, including Thursday and
Saturday matinees, and commences on
Monday night, the 2oth instant. 1t is a
breezy and bustling comedy that has a
thread Of sentiment running through its
most farcical episodes. and it is staged
with opuleuce and acted with admirable
art by players OF distinction. In sub
stance, it is more of comedy than oi
farce, and embodies number OF comic
situations and continuously smart and
witty dialogue, the whole being viva
cious to a degree. Mile. Fiji" is an
adaptation from the French of NM.
Dumanoir and Carre by Mr.. Joseph R.
Grismer. In making the English version
Mr.. Grismer has retained all the piq-
uancy of the original, and has also
infused new life into the plav. Messrs.
Brady and Ziegfeld, in presenting this
play have been generous IN mounting
aud cast The former is most dainty,
and the latter is PROBABLY not excelled
by any similar organization in the
country. 1t includes, among others,
Marie Wainwright, an actress of wide
reputation and brilliant attainments;
Alice Iudson, Jeanne tie Louvre, Thos.
n. Burns, Dore Davidson, E. Lovatt
Fraser, Charles E, Mitchell, and Aubrey
Boucicault, the latter being unquestion-
ably one of the best of the younger
generation of actors. The engagement
at the Columbia Theatre will be played
at the regular prevailing prices, except
ing the Thursday matinee, on which
occasion a special scale VIII be adh cred
to.

THE officers of the Charleston

ship. But the person who ordered
a fine large cruiser to do gunboat
duty and steam close along dan
gerous and imperiectly charted

Our Washington English Papers.

Our washington English" Papers.
Mr.. Berah Wilkins. editor and
proprietor OF the Washington
Pest complained to us the other
day that we misrepresented the
Post; that the latter was not against
the Beers and for England. We
replied that we had failed to notice
the pro-Boer articles in the Post,
that in fact everything we had
seen there was in favor of England.
The aim Of the Posts articles is
English supremacy and an alli-
ance. 1t seeks to create discord
ant feelings between the American
people and all other nations that
will not creep under the Anglo
American yoke. We cite Mr..
Wilkins Post editorial Of Thurs.
day, headed Made in Germany"
as proof that the old fight against
Germany is being revived anew.
The article is so false, so absurd,
and so stupid, that we are surprised
that Mr., Wilkins employs such
editors.
On the other hand we observe
quite \ change of feeling with the
other two English" dailies, the
Star and Tunes, which, since the
Kaiser does not interfere IN the
Boer killing business Of our dear
ally" are now quite enamored |
with Germany, and run after the
German Americans demanding of |
them to vote the Imperialistic Nc |
Kinley ticket, because the EN- |
peror is now for England and pulls |
with Mckinley at the same rope. |
How stupid on the part Of these
papers, to suppose the German
Americans we're controlled or |
guided in national affairs by the |
German F. peror! How absurd |
to suppose that because the Ger
man Emperor does not interfere in
behalf Of poor people fighting for
their liberty and independence,
Mr.. Mckinley and his royal sister
Victoria are privileged to 20 on
killing the Beers and Filipinos!
No. no matter what the German
Emperor does or wishes, the Ger
man-Americans will continue to
denounce the English American
alliance and do everything to stop
the infamous wars Of those great
civilized nations-the greatest
human butcherY and criminal ag.
gression" the century.
We, as German-Americaus,
think but little Of the wisdom OF
the Kaiser in lstting the English
butcher the Beers and binding the
hands Of Germany and the United
States, and this against the wishes
Of the majority Of both people,
with that Anglo-Saxon "benevo-
lent assimilation" civilization
under the contemplate banner OF
and English robbery.

For the cleveland waechter.

WdFcJitTY and our old friend 10y
ernoT Jacob Mueller, as Demo
Gratis, we expressed in our last
number surprise that they should
have voted iHairectlTtor Mckinley,
that is, by throwing their votes
away Tor Jones In Washington,
it is said by well-informed Repub
liean politicians that but for the
Jones vote the Republican ticket
would have been defeated, and that
Jones candidacy was reckoned
one OF the smartest manoeuYers OF
Hanna. For those parties state
openly that Hanna was behind the
Jones movement. Hanna knew
too we'll that the Waechter and the
numerous Cleveland Germans
were bitterly opposed to the Nc
Kinley Republican ticket, that the
labor vote hated Hanna, the chaul-
pion Of trusts, especially alter the
terrible strike OF laborers against
the street railroads. Secretly Jones
was out up to keep the laborers
and the Cleveland Germans from
falling into the hands Of M Lean
and the Democratic party. The
particulars OF how this job was
managed we cannot give. Jones
was put up as an anti-imperialist
and a friend of the laborers, and
the people were told that a victory
OF Jones would be a defeat ot i'm
perialism and the trusts.
Governor Mueller and the
Walchtey said the same thing 10
their followers on the day OF the
election. Indeed the WaFchter
even now tells the deluded Ohio
Jones voters that their defeat OF
the Democrats was a Democratic
victory. These are facts and can
not be denied. Mckinley and i'm
peTialism have Non through
Hanna's shrewdness in putting up
| Jones, though apparently at the
sacrifice OF Hanna's own county.
But what does he care for defeat,
when it secured him the State for
the Republican party! Mckinley
will understand this, and he will
not Gust Hanna from his dictator
ship because he helped him to
carry Ohio by $4,000 plurality.
We do not want to quarrel with
our Cleveland friends. We feel
too badly about the Ohio defeat,
and defeat it was. Imperialism
could only have been stopped by
Democratic victory. That was
the main issue before the people OF
Ohio, 1t will be the main issue in
the next Presidential election, and
therefore, we pity those who talk
now OF silver (though nothing in
that line can be done during the
next Presidency, because the Sen
ate is to be Republican for the next
six years. merely to have an ex.
cuse for betrayrng liberty, estab-
fishing imperialism and a large
standing army and voting the Re-
publican ticket.
The WaecAtey is a Democratic
paper. 1t it were one OF those
papers which are in the market to
betray for a price liberty and the
constitutional republic, we would
nothave written last week article.

The New National Theatre will have
as its attraction during the week
beginning next Monday evening, Chas.
Frohman's newest farce. "The Girl
From Maxim's," which just closed a
highly successful run Of three months at
the Criterion Theatre, New York. It
will be presented by the original cast
which is headed by w J. Ferguson and
Josephine Hall. It is a sparkling play
flowing over with fun and its lines are
brilliantly witty. Mr. FrOhmau over his
own signature said "The Girl From
Maxim's" contains more laugha6le and
Ingenious situations than auv farce
he ever produced It5 story is not less
interesting in its sentImenfa A phases than
it is comicaI. A very pretty 10. e story
runs through it which viii be iouHd
agreeable.
"McFadden's Row OF Flats is this
season being given with a cast comprs
ing such well known persons rs Thomas

street Ertenslon peclsion a .

A ruling was made last week
by Justice Hagner sustaining the
act which provides for the eXten-
sion OF Rhode Island avenue
through the Moore tract aad the
assessment Of damages against the
adjacent property. The act pro-
vides that the jury Of award shall
assess against property owners
concerned one-half Of all benefits
likely to accrue from the opening
of the street, and not one-hali OF
the benefits due to the mere con
demnation of the land, as the prop
erty owners petitioned.
This decision may spur the Com
missioners on to renewed efforts in
the prosecution Of condemnation
proceedings, but it will hardly have
the effect of inducing property
owners to cease their endeavors TO
make the National Government
shoulder its just share of the ex-
pense Of street extension. Owners
Of property along the streets al
fected have not been clamorous
tor the scheme in the past, nor are
they now. 1t has been pushed not
so much tor their benefit as Tor the
general good. The idea is a good
one. 1t is one that should have
been carried out long ago. 1t is
one that, the longer it is delayed,
the more costly 1t will be. But it
is also one in which, the whole
District being the gamer by its ex-
ecution, the cost should be borne
by the District and the National
Government the same as any other
measure OF street Improvement.
The Board OF Trade could not
urge a more just measure upon the
attention Of Congress than this one
OF the proper division of the ex-
| pense OF street extension, and the
sooner the better.
British Friendsnip for America
is based solely on selfish consider
ations. England needs the moral
and material support Of this coun-
try. It is a calculating, profit taxi
ing affection that moves the British
to perfervid assurances Of devo-
ton They are sympathetic for
what there is in it, and inasmuch
as blood IS thicker than water, they
will trv to bleed US.
Within a year the kindly feeling
in America tor England will be en-
I tirely destroyed Their eagerness
to realize on the service rendered
during the Spanish war; to cash
in the sentiment ofthe situation for
material advantages enormously
IN excess Of their rights-will
speedily revive the ancient and
natural hostility to England in this
country. We may confidently look
for still further insulting demands
for concessions of frontier, for op-
position to the Nicaragua Canal,
and in any other direction where
annoying questions can be raised.
