The Power of Public Sentiment.

Lord Salisbury has been called on
in the house of lords to explain the
cote OF alarm which he sounded some
time ago in his speech before the
'rimrose league. when he referred to
the accommodating perils which threat
ened the national safety. His lord
hip explains, according to press re-
ports. that his alarm Twas based on
the fact that the feeling on part of
foreign nations toward Great Britain
could not be dismissed from the
mind, as in the long run. govern
ments were influenced by the feeling
of the people," 1t is significant that
the British premier realizes the senti-
nent of detestation which prevades all
civilized nations in respect to England's
corrupt brutal efforts to annihilate
the two republics of South Africa.
Perhaps not since the days Of Warren
Hastings and his unprovoked plum
der of India has such a deliberate,
~anton and inhuman war been waged
as that now carried on by Great Bril-
tain for the subjugation of the Dutch
farmers of South Africa. The British
cabinet must be aware of the aver
sion which Is felt toward their gov
eminent by the people of other coun-
tries; but It is something of a sur
prise that the existence of this re-
sentiment against the barbarous Eng
lish policy should be admitted so can
didly. 1t may be the manifestation
of a guilty conscience. They know
the wickedness of their course and
might IS well confess that they have
been Judged by mankind and found
guilty of the most unjustifiable Grim
inal aggression Of modern times.
So far the jeslousies and rivalries of
the nations have prevented effect be-
ing given to the judgment of ciyiliza-
ton. and this pirate among nations
has been permitted to act with free
hand. To the everlasting disgrace Of
our present national administration,
the United States of America has ap-
peared in the role Of friend and hacker
Of this robber of the weak. We have
been placed in the position of menac-
ing any other country which might
attempt to interfere with the sPolia-
ton Of the Dutch republics.
The English rulers understand that
Gin the long run. governments are in
fluenced by the feeling of the people, v
and tkey will be made to further real
ize that in this country. in particular,
the feeling and viii of the people can
not be perpetually defied. The peo-
pie will lind way in spite of Hay and
hanna TO give expression to
their sentiments. 1t is well that Sails

McKInley's wabbling on the Money Oues
ton.


Answering an inquiry as to Presi-
dent McKinley's past attitude on the
money question, in view of the fact
that he has made such a wonderful
showing of lodging about on other
great matters affecting the nation
since he became president, the Chica-
go Chronicle says editorially:
William Mckinley voted for free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l of gold in 1S77-in Novem Der. 1877.
That is to say. he voted for the origi-
nal Bland bill, which provided for the
unlimited coinage of silver dollors for
the benefit of depositors Of that metal
at the ratio stated. That bill was
changed in the senate to one Of limit
ed coinage of silver dollars on govern
ment account only, and not for the
benefit of depositOrs of bullion. In
this shape it was passed and President
Hayes vetoed it. In February, 1873,
William Mckinley voted to override
the veto. His vote was one of those
by which the bill became q law il
spite of the veto. The month before
he voted to override the Hayes veto
he voted for the Stanley Matthew:
resolution declaring all bonds of the
United States payable in silver dol.
lars at the option of the government
Twelve years later William Nc
Kihley supported the Sherman silver
purchase law of 1890. In the same
year he advocated the use of all tn,
product of our silver mines a!
money, which was about equivalen
to the advocacy of free and unlimit
ed coinage of silver. In February
1891, Mckinley berated Cleveland TO
''dishonoring silver" but sever
months later he opposed free coinage
In 1898 he resisted the efforts of Pres
| ident Cleveland to secure the repea
of the Sherman silver purchase Law
and in 1894 ne condemned the repea
of that act. In 1896 he insisted OIL
subordinating the silver question AM
forcing the question on the tariff.
.'In 1900 ne takes to himself grea
credit for the passage of the singl
gold standard act and does not hest
tate to say that the gold standar,
must be maintained come what may
and that there must be more legisla
ton to that end if necessary in orde
to it's attainment. Anybody VIII
can't find what he wants in William
McKinlev's record on the silver ques
ton must be hard to please"
