The man who writes the "weakly"

The man who writes the "weakly
letter for the Republican papers of the
state deserves chrome. Last week
he opened his communication with a
paragraph expressing deep pity for
the Democrats because Aguinaldo's
prime minister had said that the I" re-
bellion is progressing nicely and the
insurgents can win without the aid of
the Democrats" Later: on the bureau
man publishes purported proclama-
tion from Aguinaldo, stating that
"the triumph of Mr.. Bryan is also
that of the Filipino cause. Mr.. Bryan
represents the independence of the
archipelago" The bureau man ought
to call q meeting Of his brains and
agree on q program, SO that his mis-
representations would match. =.

we refuse to sympathize with the Beers?
Is it because Eng land dominates the
McKinley administration? Is it be-
cause the Republican party has sur
rendered American rights to British
interests Nit because, officially,
American sentiment ia dead? This
morning when the Speaker told me
that hs%ould not recognize me, that
he would not permit the consideration
of the resolution L, offered, what a
spectacle he presented! L felt sorry
for him. No douht he was simply
obeying his orders from the White
House or from Mark Hanna; but it is
a spectacle that should make every
friend OF representative government
blush with shame.
just a word more. In MY judgment,
congress should act. Now is the time
to do something. America should do
it's duty, and do it at once. we.must
not wait. We,should respond to the
overwhelming sentiment of the coun-
try and pass; a resolution extending
our sympathy to our two brave little
sister republics of South Africa. The
Boer peace commissioners are on the

would not only he doing our duty, but
what a grand welcome the news would

WHICH snALL.'r sEa
Two visions rise before me:

Two visions rise before me:
One of nation growing in popula-
ton, riches and strength; reaching out
the strong hand to bring within it's do
minion weaker and distant races and
lands; holding them by force for the
rapid wealth they may bring-with
perhaps the occasional glory, success
and sacrifice of war; a wondrously
luxurious life into which the fortunate
few shall enter; an accumulation of
magnificence which for a term will
charm and dazzle, and then the
shadow of the awful question whether
human nature has changed, and the
old law, that history repeats itself,
has lost it's force, whether the ascend
ing splendor of imperial power is to
be followed by the descending gloom
Of luxury, decay and ruin.
The other of nation where, the
spirit of the Pilgrim and the Huguenot
remains the living and controlling
force, affirming that the Declaration
of Independence, the Farewell Address
of the Father of his Country and the
Monroe doctrine shall never pass in
to innocuous desuetude; devoting it's
energies to the development of the in
exhaustible resources of it's great con-
tinental territory; solving the problem
of universal personal and political
liberty, of a government by the con-
sent of the governed, where no king,
no class and horace rules, but each
individual has equal voice and power
in the control of all. where wealth
comes only as the compensation for
honest toll Of hand or brain, where
public service is private duty; ma
ton whose supreme value to the world
lies not in its power. but in it's un-
failing 10y alty to the high ideals OF
its youth, it's forever lifting its strong
hand, not to govern, but only to pro-
tect the weak; and thus the bright
shining which .brightens more and
more into the fade]ess eternal day.

newspaper the remarks of Mr.. Webster
Davis, made to New York audience
last night, in which he said that Presi-
dent Mckinley is patriot and a grand
American and was opposed to the
robbery and the murder Great Britain
was carrying on in South Africa, and
that the President would do his duty.
I challenge that statement. It is not
in accordance with the facts and the
record. In my judgment, it is abso-
lutely inconsistent with the truth. The
administration is not patriotic; it is
not American. On the contrary, it is
doing all that it can to suppress the
honest expression Of opinion in this
representative body regarding the war
in South. Africa. Nine-tenths Of the
American people are in sympathy with
the Beers, and they want congress to
pass q solution sympathizing with
them in their heroic struggle, but the
administration refu}es to permit con-
gress to express its opinion.
The administration is doing all it
can against the South African repub-
lies. II IS doing all it can in favor Of
Great Britain. II itwere patriotic
administration, if II were truly repre-.
sentative Of American sentiment, It
would have followed the precedents Of

BRILLIANT DASH.
English Prisoners Recaptured From
the Boers-An Audacious Plan
OF Campaign.

LONDON. April 8. 5 a. NIT looks
today as though the Beers had con-
ceived the audacious plan OF attempt
Ing TO invest Lord Roberts at Bloem-
fontein. or at least TO endeavor TO de-
lay his northward advance by harrass-
ing the British lines OF communication.
On his side Lord Roberts is concen-
trating his forces ana preparing TO
take every advantage Of the bold but
risky tactics OF the enemy, He is not
likely TO strike at any of their forces
until he is certain of delivering a
crushing blow. There is little doubt
that Lord Roberts is hampered by the
necessity for remounts and transports
and the loss Of his convoy guns and
all of Colonel Broadway's baggage was
a serious matter The Beers are now
trusting to what they believe To be
their superior mobility. They still hold
Thabauchu and the water-works.

THE coREAN DISPUTE.
Russia Denies Any Intention of Going
to War With Japan.

NEW YORK, April A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
officials of the Russian embassy are
disposed TO accept with great reserve
the stories of prospective trouble be-
tween Russia and Japan over Corea.
Embassador Cassina stated that his
information from Toxic respecting the
feeling in Japan is entirely at variance
with that published in the press re-
ports.
Russia is scrupulously observing the
terms of the agreement made with
the Japanese government in relation
to Corea and has no intention of pre-
cipitating war.
In other quarters there is an impress
sion that the reports respecting possi-
BILE trouble between Russia and Japan
are invented by persons friendly to the
English government to distract atten-
tion from South Africa. According to
this theory Great Britain will be bene
fitted if the world would concentrate Its
gaze upon the East rather than South
Africa.
Japan at this time is not in condi-
ton to go to war with Russia, and as
to the assembling of Japanese fleet at
Kobe it is reiterated that arrange
ments for this concentration were made
months ago.

THE QUEENS DECORATIONS.
Dublin Streets Mass of Color and

NEW YORK. April 4.-The Tribunes
Dublin correspondent, describing the
decorations in the city, says:
There is a continuous line of bunting
from the landing place at Kingston to
the gates of Phoenix Park Every
house on the road to Dublin makes a
brave show of bunting. Stands for
spectators have been erected at many
points. Pembroke Hall is profusely de-
corated and the Clyde road and other
highways are decked with red and
green masts and festooned with
streamers and roseates.
The scenic artist Of the Gaiety thea
ter has improvised an Irish castle at
Upper Leeson street where the lord
mayor will meet the queen. 1t is a
massive gateway or triumphal arch,
surmounted by two castellated turrets.
From this entrance gate the queen will
drive to Merrlon Square through con-
tinuous lines of Venetian masts and
gayly decorated houses.
At the southern corner of the square
she will pass the house where Daniel
o'Connel lived and there will be flags
there as token of welcome.
Thence she will go through a series
of broad avenues. where the electric
railway posts are boxed in red and
masts opposite in blue and where the
house lines are lighted up with
splendid blaze of color. Shabby Glare
street viii be transhgured into lowell
ness by lines of streamers, festoons of
artificial flowers and crimson and gold

sides are festooned with double line
of streamers and flowers. Red and

Inaugurated in Mexico by An

CITY OF MEXICO, April 4.-Govern-
ment officials are taking interest In
the newly inaugurated temperance
movement and the board Of health Is
giving encouragement TO the temper
ance workers for the vice Of alcohol
ism is reported To be growing here.
The mortuary statistics in Mexico
every year show more and more deaths
from cerebral congestion. due to the
abuse OF alcohol and the government
is alarmed at the results of the in
creased consumption Of ardent spirits,
declared by Mexican journalists to be
the prime cause of four-iifths Of the
crimes and the most appalling poverty
in this city.
Mrs. Field, an American woman,
temperance worker. has issued book
in Spanish dealing with the drink evil,
which win be used as text book here
and In other Latin-American cities.
President niaz is known to be in cor
dial sympathy with the temperance
movement and is himself most abstem-
ious. Various members Of the cabinet
have expressed themselves as pleased
with the work in behalf Of practical
temperance. The Mexican Herald says:
The old fashioned Mexican liberals
who have pinned their political faith
on the United States as the great ex-
emplor of democratic and popular in
stitutions. will suffer in the conflict
with the clearical party and mossback
consel vatives if the United States fails
to do ample justice to Puerto Rico and
Cuba Mexican liberals have suffered
much for freedom and their proudest
boast has been that they were copying
the example of the great republic Of
Washington.
If they find the United States becom-
ing imperious and tyrannical, yielding
to sordid temptations. they will have
no answer to make to the taunts Of
the clerical and Spanish organs here,
which hold the United States up as
a recreant To all its grand traditions" F"
