THE money question has already

Mr.. BRYAN will be found on the right

STARVING IN PORTO RICO.
THOUSANDS IN DISTRESS ON
THE ISLAND.
Diseases Have Seized Upon the
People, and the Death Rate
Is Appalling.

Efforts are being made to collect
money in this country for the starving
people of India. The amount collected
is already very large. Nothing has
been done, however, towards relieving
the distress prevailing in this country.
Porto Rico is now part OF this coun-
try. and if there is to be an exhibition
of charity on large scale the needs
of suffering people in our own country
should be attended to first.
In the dispatches of a few days ago
it was stated that large number of
people had walked twenty-seven miles
to San Juan to ask the governor for
work-that there were thousands of
people in Porto Rico who were actual
iy starving. 1t seems that these suf-
fering Porto Ricans were too proud to
ask for bread. They asked for work.
Steps were taken by the governor to
employ them in building roads. The
prevailing distress in Porto Rico is
largely due to the terrible hurricane
which devastated the island months
ago. Many of the plantations which
were destroyed then have not yet been
restored, and consequently those who
depended upon them for employment
have been without the means OF earn
ing living.
On account of the lack of food dis
eases of one kind and another have
seized on the people, and the death
rate is appallingly large, In Ponce it
is not uncommon for persons to fall
dead in the streets. Instances are
known where the dead have been
abandoned in their huts because the
other inmates had not strength to re-
move the bodies. In Ponce the death
rate has reached 100 per 1000 per au-
mum. In some of the towns there is
much higher rate. 1t is rather re-
markable that the governor OF Porto
Rico has not taken steps to relieve the
distress either by an appeal to the
charity of the people of the United
States or by application to the govern
ment. The government sent aid to the
suffering people directly after the hur-
ricane, but did not continue the aid for
the reason that it foul if it fed the
people they would not make any effort
in their own behalf. From all &C.
counts, however, the people are will
ing TO work now, but no work can be
had. The government cannot afford
to allow them to starve. 1t ought to
extend to them a helping hand, or see
to it that there is an opportunity for
charitably disposed persons to help
them.

SOCIETY WOMEN ARE SCORED.
Rev. Sam Jones Utters Some Characteristic
Remarks.
lrom the PHILADELPHIA Press

From the Philadelphia Press.
BY far the largest crowd of the week
attended today's services at the Nation
al Park camp meeting and the auditO-
rum was filled to overlooking. Taking
his theme on "Promises, Sam Jones
entered into a sharp denunciation of
society women.
God has kept his promise to man, "
said he, "by giving him wife and
children. A man possessing a good
wife is a rich man, but man who has
society wife and pug dog hasn't
much.
"When ! see women cutting off the
tops of their gowns for the ball room
and the bottom for the bicycle | am
afraid of wOmankind, as these capers
don't mix with religion. If | was to do
that they would arrest me and make
me be decent.
If God had intended for women to
go around latitude he would have
covered her with more hair or feath-
ers. like fast horse but give me
slow girl"

HOW THE DEVIL WOULDDOIT.
Kansas Publisher Has His Paper
Run One Week as His Satan
ic Majesty Would Edit 1t.

The editor of the Atchison (Kan.)
Champion concluded he would have
his paper run for week as the devil
would run it, and wrote to various
prominent men over the state for their
opinions as to how His Satanic Males
ty would handle the job. Among those
who answered was ex-Gov. John Z. st.
John, who said:
Ihave received yours of the 10Th ult.,
asking me to give my opinion as to
How the Devil would Run Paper, :"
and in reply thereto | desire first to
congratulate you on your excellent
Judgment in selecting me to answer
that question, for my familiarity with
His Santic Majesty enables me to i'm
part TO YOU lot of Information that
the ordinary pious man knows but lit
tie bout.
The first thing the devil would do
would be to write a salutatOry. He
would give it an intense religious tone.
He would shout for "Old Glory" and
scream for liberty and pitch into the
MormOns, but would not say word
about the thousands of slaves and our
governments salaried Sultan and his
seventeen wives under the protection
of the American flag in the Island OF
Sulu.
He would openly favor bimetallism,
and secretly work to put the govern
ment upon a single gold standard. He
would talk loud and long about the
peoples money"
He would declare that the Cubans
were and of right ought to be free, and
then refuse, them their freedom. He
would denounce fraud and then send
word to the Gamers of rotten beef 10
clean up and get ready TO be white
washed.
He would stand quietly by and with
out even a protest see organized trusts
rob the people of hundreds of millions
annually and call it prosperity.
He would advocate the levying OF a
high-taritf tax on the poor mans food
and clothing and tell him it was pro-
lection. He would be quiet as a grave
ward while we were burning negroes
at the stake and punching their eyes
out with a red-hot iron in our own
country, but would make his columns
speak in thunder tones in favor of send
inc our soldiers 5000 miles to shoot
civilization and Milwaukee beer into
the F'ilipinos. In desperate, frenzied
effort of powerful monarchy, which
has been a robber and oppressor of
weak nations, to crush by brute force
brave people in South Africa, who
are struggling as our forefathers strug-
gled four generations ago for the right
of self-government, the devil would be
on The side of the monarchy and gloat
over the downfall Of the republic.
He would take the position in his
newspaper that by the providence of
God Porto Rico was the property of
the United States and her people were
our people, and by this same Divine
Providence, and by the cry of cheney
client assimilation" and to impress
upon Porto Ricans the lesson that
whom the Lord loveth He chasten-
eth" he would put Is per cent tariff
on the products of their labor.
He would indulge in the longest
prayers for temperance and editorially
wink at the Klondike jointists to close
uU during the dull season, but throw
the doors wide open again just before
the veterans next pay day.
He would stand for Mckinley and
bitterly denounce Bryan.

BRITISH LOSSES IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Forty Thousand Soldiers Have Been Killed
OF Disabled.

Great Britain will succeed, of course,
in her purpose of wiping the South
African republics off the map. but the
price she is paying for doing it is a
fearful one. 1t is impossible to state
what the cost has been thus far, In
lives and money, but it is very heavy.
The English debt is larger by several
hundred millions of dollars than it was
when the war began, and more than
40. 900 of Gen. Roberts soldiers have
been either killed or disabled.
That a pretty big minority of the
English people are heartily tired OF
the war there is no doubt. 1t is stated
that the officers and soldiers in South
Africa are anxious to pet back to Eng
land. They have had enough of the
war.
But they will not be permitted to re-
turn until the Beers have been con-
quered.
