From Georges Weekly: Every now
and then we feel the mistake of editing
q weekly paper Washington's birth
day last week occurred upon the 22d
(our press day., and as result we
were unable to express our opinion. OF
colonial danes and sons of the revolu-
ton, engaged in passing resolutions OF
sympathy for the English in the Trans
vaal. Great and loving God! just think
of the degenerates sailing under the
colors Of 1776 and claiming to be Amer
icans! What would Mollie Start think
of a colonial dame in this age caught
red-handed in the act of sympathizing
with the redcoats? What would Gen.
Putnam, Ethan Allen, Paul Revere and
Mad Anthony Wayne think of the pin
headed excuses for Americans posing
Itoday as Sons of the Revolution, pass
ing resolutions of sympathy for
Queen Victoria? We can almost hear
the patriots of 1776 crying, Shame
upon the present American civilization
that it tolerates such outrages!" it
makes the blood boil in the veins OF an
honest liberty-loving American when
he bumps up against these unpatrlotic
degenerates parading around under the
stars and stripes, pretending to be
Americans, when in fact they are moth
ing more or less than the most con-
temptible specimens Of tories and Eng
lish sympathizers this country has
ever produced, not excepting Benedict
Arnold. Shame upon them, and shame
upon a civilization that will tolerate
such Americans! Every one OF them
should be stood beside a stone wall
and unceremoniously exterminated.
This is America and not England, and
it is America because we whipped Eng
land in 1776 and 1872; and the efforts
of English sympathizers today to be-
tray this country into the hands Of
England is a traitorous deed, deserv-
ing of the punishment usually meted
out to traitors. America stands FOR
civilization that means tolerance. The
English sympathizers stand for greed
and grab. The fight is now on between
liberty, tolerance and fellowship
against greed, grab and commercialism,
backed by lyddite shells and smokeless
powder. What has come over the
spirit of our dreams, that we stand
idly by watching 100000 bloodthirsty
murders bayoneting and butchering
SO, 900 gallant and heroic Boer patriots
as ever draw the breath of life; men
who stand ready to fight to the last
ditch rather than surrender their lib
erty? Think of Americans standing by
and watching this inhuman butchery
without protest! If we had bit OF the
blood of the fathers of the revolution
and the colonial mothers in our veins,
we would organize an army of 10000
900 men, and they would be in arms
tomorrow morning marching to Wash
ington to grab Mckinley. Hanna and
the whole gang of British sympathizers
and boot them off the face Of the earth.
Down with mush and milk patriotism
that sails under the flag Of Colonial
Danes and Sons Of the Revolution. 1t
is a fraud and insult upon the fair
name of patriotism, and If Americans
have no higher; patriotism than that
sort to boast Of, then they had better
put up their shutters and go out OF
business, for the life of this republic
will indeed be short in the hands of
such people. But our readers will for
give this righteous outburst OF
righteous indignation. We feel
that it is a hopeless case to
hope for intervention. All we have
to do Is to turn our eyes from
the Transvaal to the Philippines to
recognize the fact that this pro-British
sentiment today is eating its cancerous
way through the American body poll
tic, honeycombing our consciences and
making it easy for Americans to do
in that island just what the English
are today doing in Dom Paul's country.
1t Is the old spirit of commercialism.
One day last week an individual by
the name of Moore got himself inter-
viewed by one Of the daily papers and
made 1t his business to say: People
who have not Travelled much may SYM
pathize with the Beers" 1t makes lis
boil every time we run across some pin
head who has been across the water a
couple of times and imagines because
he has, that he knows civilization. We
have studied as many civilizations in
our time as it falls to the lot Of the
average man to gome in contact with.
We know an Englishman on his own
ground and we know the original Hol-
lander as we'll as anybody. We have
come in contact with the original In
dian, and we know what. the genuine
negro is, and we know the instincts of
the Latin. Time was when all these
people were right, and there was time
when all of them were generous, hon
est and manly, but that time was be-
fore our so-called civilization corrupt
ed them. This man Moore claims to
have been in South Africa, and strange
to say, acquired in few days resi-
dense there a thorough knowledge of
the habits and instincts of the Beers.
He denounces them in unmeasured
