uttered by the President !, his messas
to Congress last December. Referrin
to the matter Of principle Involves
Senator Proctor said:
We may do many wrong and
foolish things without violating the
constitution, but it does not follow
that we must do them or ought to
d. .hem. and claim that the plain
people, the sensible, honest Ameri-
can people, who look mt this ques-
tion from no standpoint of interest,
who are not sugar m"n. nor tobacco

mercial or class interests, are the
best Judges of what is fair and
right and honest. and that their
judgment in the end must and will
prevail. If We are not bound by
the letter of the constitution we
are bound by justice and humanity
to deal with these questions IN the
spirit of American institutions and
American civilization.
The people look upon this as
matter of principle, question of
good faith and common honesty;
and their moral sense has been
shocked and the national heart and
conscience stirred by the fear that
this measure of taxation will be
adopted by Congress.

The Shade in Warfare.

Probably one of the SharpeSt lessons
the British military authorities have
learned from the Beers is the remark
able power of the spokesman as com
pared with the swordSman in modern
warfare Provided they are intelli-
gently placed, the judicious digging of
Il few trenches carefully protected by
lines of barbed wire ENHANCEMENT or
hastily improvised abattis, is of meal
culable benefit to Il regiment acting up
on the defensive.
This has long been recognized upon
the continent, the great armies OF
which are amply provided with en-
trenching tools. For instance. in the
Austrian army 30 and in the German
army 100 men per company carry ell
trenching spades. In the French in
fantry each company carries ~ en-
trenching tools, 80 of which are loaded
upon amule, while 20 axes and so
spades form the Russian allowance per
company.
\ favorite dodge is to dig a deep
ditch in front of the actual position and
TO half ill the excavation with the EN-
tangling branches of trees. The effect
of such an obstruction upon charging
enemy is most disastrous, since, the
exact range having previously been
measured out. the defenders have mere
ly 10 pump lead into the floundering
mass of men and horses until they
either retire or surrender
Needless 10 say, the great art in all
entrenching is to render your digSings

it millions Of times within the year
from its deliverance unless we per

lieve that this is a question not Of
mere policy, but of principle.

should be such as TO commend itself

sequence that Mckinley will find him

The National Debt.
That the sO-called new currency law
was enacted for the special purpose of
benefiting the mOneyed interests Of the
country is shown by the rush ON the
very first day that it took effect to or
ganize new banks under it. The bonds
which are TO be issued for the perpetu-
alton of the national debt and the ma
tiOnal banks are. of course, going to be
taken up almost entirely by the latter.
who will have the privilege of draw
ing the interest on them while at the
same time they will have their full
face value in notes to loan out to bor-
rOwers.
The law is sure to prove good thing
for the money lenders simply because
it enables them to draw interest on the
same capital invested from the Govern
ment and from their customers. From
the former they will draw only per
cent, but from the latter they will be
able to get great deal more, and their
profits in the course of year win be
the envy Of even some of those who
have gone into the industrial trusts.
AS first proposed. the law was to be
merely declaration that the gold dol
lar is the standard of value-which it
has practically been for years-but this
feature has been lost sight of almost
entirely. The fact that it saddles the
country with debt amounting to
nearly billion of dollars for the life
time of a generation. so that there will
be an excuse for keeping the national
banks in existence for the same length
of time, is the one thing that is taken
note of, and that stands out cOnspicu-
Ously.
The law is a monument to Republi-
can chicanery and ingenuity. 1t pays
the debt the party owed to the banking
trust for the support given by the lat.
ter to Mckinley in 1896. and it post
pones the coming of the day on which
the Government will be enabled to de-
clare its independence once more oil

Cecil Rhodes has arrived IN London. He
Is well and cheerful, but is much more eX-

Company, and Alfred Belt, the South AZ
rican financier, met Mr.. Rhodes at Fun
chal. island of MADEIRA, and advised him
to observe reticence.
