tion the missionaries might have
won the hearts OF the people by
simply teaching them to prav at
the tombs OF their ancestors to the

The report was adopted unahi'
mously, and several OF the men,
bers took occasion to make com.
ments, in which they praised the
services Of the committee, men
tioning particularly Hon. William
Sulzer, and Capt. Patrick O'Far-
rell, who had been mainly instru-
mental in carrying out the project.
Chairman Downing spoke Of the
great expense which attaches to an
affair OF the kind, and gave figures
OF expenses Of similar affairs, with
which he had been connected. Az
this point one oi those present in
troduced a resolution thanking
Capt. O'Farrell for his strict hon
esty and integrity and Tor his able
management Of the funds and dis
bursement in connection with the
reception Of the BoeE ENJOYS. This
was unanimously passed.
Capt. O'Farrell was recognized,
and stated that the controversy in
regard to the Boer reception had
caused much annoyance, not only
to himself as treasurer Of the fund,
but to members of the committee.
He spoke in high terms of Con-
gresham Sulzer, and stated that
the criticisms Of the management
were not aimed at him, but at Mr..
Sulzer, who had been the largest
contributor to the fund. In con-
clusion, he expressed it as his de-
sire that should there be any con
tributors who were dissatisfied with
the expenditures, they should call
at his office. He said he had not
heard Of dissatisfaction from one
bona 6de contributor, and were
there any, he was willing to refund
their money.

Revival OF Negro Rule the south .

Revival OF Negro Rule in the south
1t is more than likely that # the
Republican party is given full con-
troll Of the Government for the
next four years the partijan legis-
lation with which it now threatens
the South will cause a period Of
considerable depression" to all
who are interested in Southern
industries. A large amount Of
Northern and Eastern capital has
been invested in the Southern
States in railroad enterprises, min
ing and manufactures. This cap
ital was thought to be safely in
vested, becaLse the Southern white
people are in full control and each
State in the South has an efficient
government, economically admin
isteIed. There see ms to be no
question, however, that tho Re-
publican party is determined to
revive the race issue in the South,
to cut down its representation in
Congress and to reduce its elect
oral vote in proportion. Senator
Hoar, OF Massachusetts,, is one Of
the champions Of the movement,
which is designed to give negroes
unrestricted suffrage, or else to
punish the South by making it an
insignificant factor in the National
Government.
II this plan is carried out accord
ing to the Republican programme
conditions would be created in the
South which might seriously i'm
PAIR the prosperity OF that section
and oil those who have invested
their money in its industries. The
negro would again become a pow
erful factor Southern politics
and government, and there might
be a renewal OF the race collisions
which occurred so frequently in
the reconstruction period and sub.
seQuentlY. With a National Ad-
ministration in tull sympathy with
their political aspirations the negro
voters of the South would become
as dangerous and aggressive an
element as they were a few years
ago. This movement is indorsed
by the Republican leaders, and its
purpose is to bumlliate the South
and to weaken it as a factor in the
National Government, or else to
force negro suffrage upon that sec
ton without the restrictions nov
imposed upon the franchise by the
State Governments. Those who
have invested capital in the South
should think twice before they ad-
vocate the triumph Of a party
which intends to put the negro
on top" in the South, or else cut
down the South's representation
in Congress and reduce ITS ele.-
toral strength. In either event the
South will suffer, and the result
may prove disastrous to those who
have substantial interests in that
section,

Hats OF to Webster Dav,sl

The Hon. Webster Davis, late
Assistant Secretary OF the Inte-
rIor under Mr.. Mckinley, has come
out squarsly for Mr., Bryan. Mr..
Davis had evidently been fooled
by Mckinley, as who that has
trusted him has not, when it was
McKinley's interest to do so.
Even John Sherman and Russell
A. Alger were shelved to suit the
exigencies OF the occasion. When
Mr.. Davis returned from South
Africa, and had interviews with
Mckinley, we can imagine the
latter putting on one oi his DIR.
JeYkill smiles, and promising Mr..
Davis that something should be
done for the Beers cat the proper
time" The proper time" for Nc.
Kinley would be after the election.
Cajoled by these Pecksniffian
pretenses Mr.. Davis was foolish
enough to interect into his pro-
Boer speeches some commenda-
tions of the Administration, which
led those who had trusted in him
to believe he was playing a part.
He even went to Philadelphia with
pro- Boer resolutions, but the
Julian Paunceiote influence was
too strong, and that Hannaized
gathering had no word Of hope tor
the struggling republics OF South
Africa. Mr., Davis then did the
manly thing Unlike Hoar, who
has bartered his reputation for the
hope OF another few years in the
Senate, Mr.. Davis broke the
shackles that bound him to the
dead body Of the once glorious
Republican party. and joined the
new and vitalized Democracy.
Nor will he be alone there. AL
ready there are Teller and ToWne
and Dubois and Allen, and a host
oi other patriots who had placed
country above party. And with
him came the brilliant and versa
tile Henry u. Johnson, of Indiana,
whose scathing denunciation Of
Mckinley in the House OF Repre-
sentatives is classic, and breathes
the most exalted patriotism. There
is a wide "open door" in the Dem
ocratic party for all such pure and
sterling men, and one oil them is
worth dozen Whitneys, or Sib.
leys, or other Standard Oil hire
lings,
The Republican party is stepped
even to the lips in corruption.
1t is kept together solely by the
cohesive power Of public plunder.
Should it be defeated it will go to
pieces. The high protective tariff
Of Mckinley, which bred trusts
and failed to yield revenue, and
which was condemned beforehand
by Mr.. Blaine, being no longer
available as a party cry, "expan-
sion" was substituted. But his
tory shows that such expansion
leads to imperialism, militarism,
despotism and decay. The Dem.
ocratic party will have none OF it.
They will continue to build up on
their own Continent an ideal re-
public which will be a beacon
light to the nations. And in that
grand object they will be glad to
have the assistance OF those of the
Republican party who demonstrate
their manhood by breaking the
shaekles which bind them to that
rotten hulk.

The south african Republics.

1t is a sorrowiul spectacle which
is prese nted in South Africa. Two
republics, fashioned largely after
the manner of the United States,
are being destroyed by the Gov
eminent OF England. This, too,
without a single solvent reason.
The apparent cause is that the
Transvaal Republic refused to per-
init England to REGULATE the inter-
nal affairs OF the Transvaal Repub-
lie. That is not the actual cause.
This is found in the fact that the
English Government has deter
mined to steal the gold fields,
which are declared to be the rich
est on earth. For more than a
century England has been stealing
the gold deposits. Her Guiana
possessions were obtained Tor no
other reason than that she desired
to possess the gold fields, which
for many years have been one oi
the most fruitful sources OF the
yellow metal. A few years ago
England determined to rob Vene-
zuela Of her beds of the precious
ore. Her attempt tested the tenn
per OF Grover Cleveland, then
President OF the United States. He
called a halt on the rapacity of the
English greed. England had
trumped up number OF unreliable
maps TO prove that the richest de-
posits were not on Venezuelan
territory, but were located on Brit
Ish territory. A commission was
appointed to which the question
OF boundary between the possess
sions of the two countries was re-
ferred. The Government OF the
United States prepared the evi
dence OF the claim OF Venezuela,
and the commission gave a verdict
adverse to the claim OF England.
The discovery OF gold on the
Yukon and in the Klondike coun-
try iearfully excited the rapacity
Of the money changers Of London.
An immediate claim was made
that the deposits were on English
soil. But little attention has been
given to the claim. The most of
the miners are American citizens,
and they gather gold wherever it
is found, without mach regard as
TO what territory it is located on.
There is but little danger that
England will quarrel about those
deposits. There was not the slight.
est justice in England's claim
against the TransVaal. 1t was a
mere pretense, and the interference
with the Transvaal Government a
most Insolent assumption. The
"Ihreadneedle" street people have
tax en- good care not to make any
claim on the mines of the Ural
Range. Russia is in possession Of
them, and the British Government
is not anxious to arouse the North
ern Bear. She is compelled to
remain passive. Her lion does not
roar when formidable enemy is
in front Of him. He becomes a
sucking dove"
The Republican Administration
has not the slightest sympathy for
the South African Republic. All
its interests are wrapped into a
sympathetic ball for England.
The struggle of the Beers for the
possession Of liberty has been not
merely disregarded, but by
strained parliamentary rulings the
subject has been ignored. The
Democratic minority has striven
in vain to get a hearing for the
Boer cause in Congress-has been
defeated m every effort made to

American politics. Colonies have been
established under the American flag
without the consent of the Ameri an

abandonment ofthe principle ofequallty

by the Republican party in its national
convention.
CAREER or lMPERI'L CONQUEST.
The Republican party, under its
present leadership is attempting to
commit a hitherto peaceful and just
nation to career OF imperial adventure
and conquest Its conservatism has
disappeared and its main policy is
dominated by a spirit Of greed unknown
on this continent until now The Re-
publican party is a party OF revolution.
It is attacking the irreproachable and
time approved political, industrial and
social systems under which this republic
has steadily grown in strength and
glory. 1t has made subjects OF the
inhabitants Of American territories, and
has denied TO them the wise guarantees
OF constitutional government Il has
trampled the Declaration of Independ
nee under foot. Tile Republican party
is the promoter and agent OF the new
and terrible trust system, which seeks
to destroy industrial and commercial
competition in America-another revo-
