Much that is called charity in these
days has not the remotest affinity
with true sympathy. What we call
charity nowadays, may appease hun
ger and afford comfort in many ways
TO the INDECENT and needy, but If be-
slowed by an icy hand 1t has no moral
value or enobling tendency.
Don't suppose for a moment that ]
am condemning riches, or rich men
just because they are rich. No, can
truly say that have found sympathy
most bountiful among the opulent, as
well as among the INDECENT. What !
say is this, that material aid when
given does not always imply sympa-
thy, nor when withheld does it al
ways prove the lack of it, The widow

Judge because she annoyed him by her

mother. Don't worry"

In order to justify the nation s
course of action in lands beyond the
sea, the republican press frequently
prints stories of the shocking cruel
lies perpetrated upon our soldiers.
These stories may or may not be true.
but evidences are at hand that the
continuance of the present policy of
this government is going to make the
American young man lose his fear of
shedding blood.
The Chicago Journal, an independ-
ent paper, prints letter published
originally in the Detroit News. writ
ten by member of the 9th United
States infantry to his parents in Grand
Rapids. 1t details the capture of
1ien Tsin by the allied forces and the
concluding paragraphs are as follows:
During the night we advanced to
the wall with the Japs and blew It up
with gun cotton, and on the morning
of the 14th the stars aud stripes
hoated with the Japanese flag over
old Tien Tsin. With fixed bayonets
we slaughtered them. The streets
are blocked with the dead and the
river is filled with floating bodies.
MANY of the Chinese got on their
knees and begged. but too late. We
would jab the bayonet through them,

we had returned to camp we were a

The Journal comments on this let
ter as follows:
I'VE don't care to comment on the
foregoing. 1t doesn't seem to need
it. Perhaps Col. Roosevelt, who is
fond of war, may be inspired to say
something should the letter come un.
der his notice.
Still. we may say that if we were
mother we should be inclined tc

McCIure's for September.

The September issue of McClure's
Magazine contains, among several ar
ticles, the concluding paper of Lieut.
Commander James G. Gilmore's IA
Prisoner Among Filipinos." The au-
thor describes in detail the means by
which he dissuaded a Filipino general
from executing the entire party, the
way in which the illness of Tagal
officer prevented the slaughter of his
prisoners, how Filipino lieutenant
on seeing a crucifx dfsobeyed orders
and thereby enabled them to escape
being put to death, and how the band
was at last rescued by Ameri-
can troops from bloodthirsty armed
savages. The narrative reads like a
page from Robinson Crusoe. The il
Illustrations by w. r. Leigh are spir-
tied and life-like. There are also
short stories by Frank H. Spearman,
Edith Wyatt, Norman Duncan, Gin
ton Ross. Jack London and Josiah
Flynt aud Francis Walton, ranging
in subject from Rocky Mountain con-
struction train and a klondike cabin
to the Syrian quarter in New YORK
and Spanish-A U ericau city in Cen
trail America. Miss Wyatt's satirical
story of Chicago people. illustrated
by an artist sent to 1.-The Windy City"
for the purpose, enters a new field in
periodical literature.

either are or hare been paupers. Two
hundred and seventy-two thousand of
her people own the great bulk of the
property. More than two-thirGs of
the people of Great Britain have no
property at all. Her metropolis,
meanwhile, contains the darkest and
most criminal caverns in the world.
II we pursue this policy. if we an
mex the weaker nations of the world
and undertake to govern them, such
will be the result with us. If we an
mex nations to which we cannot apply
our system of government, if we
acquire territory in the tropics,
where men cannot live who are capa-
bic OF self-government, then republic
can forms cannot exist in those dis
tant possessions. The vigorous
blood. the best blood, the young men
of our own land, will be drawn away
to mix with inferior races and to hold
them in subsection.
Gradually the reflex action of the
conquest and government of these
inferior races by tyranny. by new
form of government unknown TO us,
will work its effect upon our own
people, and free institutions will dis
appear from this land, as well as
from the land we conquer and under
take to hold in subsection.

THE OPINION OF A FINANCIER

The following from the New York
Evening Post of recent date may be OF
interest here inasmuch as Mr.. John
Shelton Williams, president of the
Seaboard, is known here.
"The literary bureau of the Republi.
can National Committee has been issu-
ing a series of letters from business
men of the South who say they will
support Mckinley and Roosevelt this
year. John s. Williams, president OF
the Seabord Air Line, whose name is
not unfamiliar in Wall street, was the
Southern man whose letter was given
out to-day.
