Suppression OF Free Speech in
England.

Suppression Of Free Speech in
England.
No more scandalous occurrence
has ever disgraced the English
House Of Commons than that the
other night when Mr. Balfour, the
leader Of the Tory party, encour-
aged suppression OF free speech in
England and was sustained by a
large majority. Oh late disgrace
full scenes have taken place at anti.
war meetings, addressed by the
most eminent men Of the realm,
Sir Edward Lawson, Mr.. John
Morley, Mr., James Bryce, the Rev.
Cronwright Schreiner, and others.
Mo5s broke into the halls, and life
and limb were placed in jeopardy,
some being severely injured. In
many instances the speakers were
compelled to escape by the back
doors. And when they took refuge
in houses, the windows were
smashed. The matter had become
notorious, and the means OF pro-
lection so inadequate, that Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
leader of the Liberal party, made
1t the subject OF inquiry in the
House Of Commons. To his utter
surprise Mr.. Baltour placed the
blame on the speakers, who, he
said, in effect, might De thankful
for getting off so easily in the pres
ent heated state OF the nation.
Another Tory member character
lied the speakers as "a nest OF
traitors" Sir Henry then made
the matter the subject ola motion,
and was overwhelmingly defeated.
And so free speech is for the time
being a dead letter in England. |
Such is the result OF a sordid, a |
brutal, a demoralizing war. Lib |
ertY is not only taken away from |
the enemy, but freedom is en-
dangered, and often subverted, at
home.

How to wtnthe Next Election

L
The important question in the
mind oi every lover OF liberty in
the United States today is How
to win the next election" And vet
the solution is easy. Lett each
opponent Of the Administration
make lust one convert. Every one
can do that much. But that is the
question most frequently over
looked. Leaders may go after
men in the mass, but let each citi-
zen deal with his neIghbor. Soften
the unyielding ones, convert the
doubters.
There never was a more favor
able opportunity to make converts
than the present. Party shackles
have been loosening OF late years.
The genius. the statesmanship. the
conscience Of the Republican
party have left il, and nothing re
mains but an Elusive promise OF
plunder in the Orient, and a taw-
dry reflection Of glory to the na-
ton. For what profit can there be
in dealing with race who earn but
10 cents a day, live on rice, and |
wear breechcloths. And where is /
the glory in shooting down brown |
men, armed with bolos, who are
for "their altars and their
hres1" And when are the masses
Of the American people, who are
paying the war taxes, to receive
them back5 Never! And who
shall restore to the nation the brain

have been wasted in shooting down |

disregard for life which has been
engendered by this unholY, unnat-

Champ Clark Says:

1--WE dred Roberts out Of Con-
grsss because his possession OF
three wives was IN violation of the
good old Democratic doctrine of
equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none. Roberts was a
Democrat, and he was ousted from
Congress because he had three
wives. The Sultan Of Sulu is a
Republican, and because he has
800 wives Mr., McKinley's Admin
istration gives him a Government
job at a big salary that he may be
able to support them properly"

Brewers and the Beer Tax.

The brewers are not politicians.
They are business men and good
citizens who love liberty, the Con-
stitutlon, and freedom in carrying
on their trade in legitimate man
ner. Naturally it cannot be ex-
pected Of them to support a pollt.
ical party which has fixed upon
them an additional exorbitant war
tax. This tax is now running the
brewing business. Congress has
been overwhelmed with petitions,
demanding 4 reduction. These
petitions are being ignored by the
majority. The minority have in
troduced bill tor the repeal of the
tax.
The bill is now in the Republi-
can Ways and Means Committee.
Everything possible is being done
by the Democrats to secure a iav-
orable report on the same, but the
Republicans have so far remained
obdurate and refuse 10 take the
question up. The leader on the
Democratic side, Mr.. Richardson.
iavors a reduction OF the war tax. |
The leader on the Republican side. |
Mr.. Payne, has not expressed him
self. Now we know the brewers
probably better than any one in
Congress and we desire to say that
they are the same as all other busi-
ness men, who, when they find that
their trade has been hampered by
the unjust legislation oi a certain
political party, will in the election
which follows do their best to de-
feat that party at the polls.

"a Trip to Coontown.n .

Cole and Iohnson's "A Trip to Coon
town and the big colored beauty show
will appear at the Academy Of Music
next week. The music Is bright and
catchy, all the more so because much
of it is more than reminiscent; the
chorus fuIl, sweet voiced and well drilled;
the movement lively, the story of the
libretta Of some account; the comedians
really funny, the principal parts acted
intelligently and well sung, and Miss
Edna Alexander, soprano, is simply
delightful. She can sing admiral v, her
voice is one Of rare sweetness and range
and is thoroughly under control; she is
a trained singer, is a beautiful woman,
never risque in word or action and far
away the best comic singer that has
been seen here in this generation. LLOYD
Gibbs, the greatest living black tenor,
is there, so is Sam Lucas, and Walter
Dixon, and Sam Cousins, and George
Brown, Alice Mackay Accooe and Molly
Dill, and Lavinia Tones and the Freeman
sisters. Whatever else you miss, don't
miss seeing Cole and Johnson, the funny
tramp and the bunco man, the men who
have made multtudes laugh. "a Trip

SECOND MYSTERIOUS LETTER.
Chief Berry has maintained from the
nrst a theory that Eyre was murdered.
and that eventually the river would
give up its CHASTITY secret, and this the
ofy may have been strengthened by
the receipt Of a second mysterious let
Ter from Philadelphia, apparently in the
disguised handwriting of a woman, and
OF q somewhat similar tenor as the one
which had come to him postmarked
station o. at Eighth and Columbia
avenue, under date Of January 1. He
said the language was almost the same
as in the previous letter, and as the
statement in this had been verified in
a startling manner, he was inclined to
attach much importance to it.
The opening sentence Of the first let
ter was:
The missing man, George Eyre, who
SO mysteriously disappeared from
home short time ago, was murdered
in or near Raccoon creek He was not
killed for plunder, but for jealousy. So
you Will find when his body is recov-
cred his clothing will contain all that
was on them before he disappeared.
The final sentence was: And his
body will be found in the Delaware
river, near Raccoon creek" The letter
was signed "A. J. r."
THAT part of il came out truel
enough" said Chief Berry. THE Sec
ond letter came to me a few days after
the first one, but the postmark in Phil
adelphia was different"
