GOLD, NOT LIBERTY.
Greed. Infamous, Detestable, SOUL

of the BOer War.

Many times since the beginning of
Great Britain's brutal and greed-in-
spired war upon the two little repub-
lies the Pretext that the course was
taken by the empire to protect the
uitlanders from oppression and secure
their rights has been made, and was
again reiterated in Salisbury's reply
to the Boer appeal for peace. This
pretext, says the Illinois State Jour-
nal, has been shattered time and
again, but nowhere more convincing
ly than in the message of John Dill.

sent to the Marquette club of Kan

AS stated by the Times. of Kansas
City, Mr.. Dillon cites in particular one
incontestable fact showing that, al
though England, through the lip serv-
ice of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain, constituted herself ''the cham
pion of the uitlanders''-yet, side by
side with the burghers fighting to
keep back the British invaders are
found these same uitlanders-
mans, Irishmen. Frenchmen, Belgians
and even Englishmen.
This stubborn fact scatters to the
four winds Great Britain's pharisaic
pretext. Greed, Infamous, detestable.

this Infamous war. It is the Beers

"Keep your eye on Senator Shoup
and see where he takes his seat in the
senate restaurant" said Senator Davis,
of Minnesota.
This suggestion was made in private
conversation, and Senator Davis would
give no explanation Of his reason for
exciting the curiosity of the writer.

the Idaho statesman; and, of course,
it was understood that there was some
thing humorous or interesting in the
idea put forth.
After several days of observation it
became apparent that Senator Shoup

sit facing the door. If the tables were
occupied so that he could not sit fac
ing the door he would go out, walk
about, talking with friends, and await
an opportunity to secure seat facing
the door. Finally one evening when
alone with him the writer told of the
suggestion of Senator Davis, and the
subsequent observations, and the grand
old man smiled as he said: 'It is Pc
culiar habit, and did not suppose that
anybody noticed it. OF course there
is no danger here, but for almost 20
years I was obliged to sit facing the
door with my revolvers on the side of
my plate, in order to be ready for trou-
BILE; and the habit stays with me.
always feel more comfortable when I
face the door while am eating"
This brings about revelation con-
cerning the history of a remarkable
man. Senator Shoup was for many
years one of the bravest and most ac-
tive of all the government scouts on
the far western frontier. One cele-
brated scout and Indian fighter has
travelled all over the world, giving ex-
hibitions of frontier life; and he gives
q realistic demonstration of his knife
combat with an Indian chief, in which
he came out victorious. But Senator
had II knife combats with Indians, and
the fact is known to but few.
The quiet old man never talks of his
prOwess, nor of his services to the gov
ernment. His daily life manifests the
sagacity and wisdom of the poet who
wrote:

The loving are the daring
Senator Shoup is now in the sixty
fourth year of his age. He is about
five feet ten inches in height, broad
shouldered, muscular, light of step,
and with alert eyes. His smooth shaven
face is strong, but gentle, and he is
as mild of manner as schoolboy. But
those who know him well realize that
his firm set jaws indicate the deter.
mination of character which has made
him famous and beloved in the inter.
mountain region. Moreover, he is a
philanthropist who loves to help those
who seem disposed to help themselves

''dictated, word by word, everything
in the book" and Christensen, my elect

sen poses as the author of new re-

OPPOSITION.

"The table shows possible major
ity of only two for gold, over oppo-
sition votes, including Kyle. who has
declared his position by vote upon the
Porto Rican amendment. If the
states of Illinois and New Jersey,
which went democratic in 1892, should
happen to elect democratic legisla-
lures this fall, the small ma ajority for
gold might be reversed. And when
the analysis is carried into the class
of senator's retiring in 1908. it will
be found that Deboe, of Kentucky;
Kyle, of South Dakota; Pritchard, of
North Carolina, and Wellington, of
Maryland, with others in less doubt
full states, will retire, possibly to
make way for men of opposite politi-
cal faith and bound by chains of par
ty regularity, further decreasing the
strength of the gold men in that
event.
