BOer Independence-Let Us Have
Protests and a Conference.
The friends of the Beers should
hold meetings at once and pass
resolutions that the TransYaal and
Orange Free State "are and Of
right ought to be free and inde-
pend ent." AT the same time they
should demand that the Govern
ment Of the United States inter-
vene in behalf Of the Republics.
The time for request and polite
ness is past. The people have
tried them in vain. They should
now demand. In this demand the
German element should lead.
Thy cannot look on complacently
and see their kith and kin trampled
under the ruthless hoof of the Op-
pressor. Other nationalities have
led the way--the Germans must
not lag Dehind.

public, to quote the words of Mr..
Mckinley when the shadow OF
Hanna is not across his path. it is
the plain duty" Of this republic
to interfere in behalf OF sister re-
publics. The fight going on today
the world over is between govern
mentfrom the top and from the bot.
tom, between empires and repub-
licsnism. The greatest existing
trust, the mother oil all trusts, IS
the Royal Trust in Europe, by
reason Of which if any member
marries outside of certain royal
households, he sacrifices his sue
cession to the throne. Can there
be anything more blasphemous
than that a man cannot freely
marry the woman OF his choice, or
vice versa7 A few years since the
heir to the house Of Austria COM
mitted suicide on that account.
Let US put a stop then, as soon as
may be, to this Infamous rule.
To do this we must see that ex
isting republics are preserved. Let
there be therefore a simultaneous

Bulwer treaty was entered into,
which provided that neither nation

violated by establishing the Crown
Colony OF Honduras, and by es-
tablishing Notifications command
ing the entrance to the canal.
Secretaries FrelinghuYSen and
Blaine both proclaimed the Clay
ton Bulwer Treaty a dead letter.
But Mckinley has sought to re-
suseitate it by making it the basis
Of a new treaty dispensing with the
military control of the canal by the
United States. Opposition to this
project has sprung up all over the
country and in the Senate, and it

standing occurred, and the men finally
they had not understood their colonel,
and had no desire to fight the Beers.
It appears that many battaIIons have
been pressed into active service against
their wishes, and in direct violation OF
the assurances made by the Govern
ment. No wonder that this command
eeriDg has given rise to persistent
rumors that conscription is to be intro
duced in Ireland, Already in many cases
offenders have been given the alteTna-
tive volunteering to the front, in order
to escape Imprisonment Warehouses
have been ransacked for volunteers.
The appeals made by colonels Of the
various militia regiments are Of such
nature that those who refuse to volun-
teer lay themselves open to a suspicion
OF cowardice. Many Of the volunteers
have but a slight idea OF Africa and the
Beers, and an unfair advantage is taken
OF their ignorance, instead of the least
attempt to enlighten them as to the
significance Of volunteering for South
Africa
While the sentiments OF the Irish
militia soldiers in Europe is distinctly
unfTiendly to the present hostilities, the
Irish troops at the front have proved to
be as valorous as ever The letters
received from the front are unanimous
in praising the humanity and bravery OF
the Beers. One of our townsmen, the
well known South African cyclIst, Foss.
who won MANY a South African medal
and was the champion for 1899, has just
met with a disagreeable tate. He was
one of the besieged garrison IN Lady,
smith, and 1t seems that his hopes OF
ultimate relief we're slight, In converse
tion with soldiers he mentioned many a
time the fact that the foodstuffs were
running low, and that the Beers had
every chance OF starving the beleaguered
garrison into submission before relief
could arrive. For this offense he was
court martialed aud sentenced to two
years hard labor. The court martial
found him guilty OF ''inciting Her
Majesty troops to despoudencY." The
fact that both Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener are Irish; that the troops
which have distinguished themselves in
every engagement were either Irish,
Scotch or Colonials is not calculated to
fill a Briton with pride. One of the
results OF the present war will be the
gradual disappearance OF Irishmen from
the British army. The agitation against
service IN the army grows from day to
day, and the young man 10 search Of
employment will , longer enlist in the
British army, but emigrate to the United
States.

The People Must Saw the Word. .

IfMcKinley should say the word
that would stop the Philippine
murders, the Republic would be
restored and he would be stripped
ot his Office OF Emperor Of the Phil.
ippines.
Is he equal to such a renuncia-
ton Of power while to retain the
office means countless murders
upon his soul and conscience7
Emperor Napoleon cared naueht
for human life, and few emperors
will permit their consciences to
adopt a course which shall turn
them from office, and in Emperor
McKinley's case he gained the
Office OF President OF the United
States through being the man
whom the heads oil the Republican
machine and its financial hackers
selected to advance their interests,
and If he should crow "iaint-
hearted" as these autocrats would
put it, he will be sidetracked and
some one else selected who will
not stop at anything that is neces-
sary to advance their selfish ends.
The emperor of a whilom
republic is not the leader,
but the tool OF the leaders; the
leaders could not stand before
public opinion for an instant, and
therefore put up the man who can
best dra@ y the popular vote while
secretly pledged = their interests.
That the tool who has been ele-
waited to the office OF Emperor will
turn because it involves the mur
der OF soldiers and their opponents
is beyond the range ol probability,
and therefore nothing but an upris-
ing Of public opinion and a heavy
vote against the imperial bosses
can turn the tide, put stop to the
murders, restore the Republic and
dethrone the Emperor.

Our English Secretary OF State.
Lord PAuncefote, WtIl Remain.
That Sir Julian Pauncefote was
directing the foreign policy Of the
United States has been painfully
evident for the past two years. He
buncoed Mckinley into the acqui.
sition of the Philippines to take our
minds of Canada, which he
thought we would be likely to
seize while the war spirit was on,
and the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton unsettled. This has made
Great Britain practically suzerain
power over the United States, for
with our present navy we could
not otherwise hold the Philippines.
But worse has come. Mckinley
has sent to the Senate at Paunce-
totes direction treaty which alb
rogates the Monroe Doctrine. II
deprives the United States Of mill
tary control Of the proposed Mica
ragua Canal. The canal would
have been long since built but

Beers Not the AgGressors.

The pretence that the Beers
were the aggressors IN the war will
not stand examination. In 1884
the British Government gave the
Transvaal complete independence,
deliberately abandoning the suze-
rainty which it had claimed and
asserted in the convention OF 1881.
The Beers may not have main
tanned an ideal government, and
the Outlanders who hocked to the
Transvaal after the discovery OF
gold NAV have had some griev-
ances which the Transvaal Gov
ernment should have redressed.
That the Beers were under any
obligations, however, to make such
franchise laws as would ultimately
have given the Outlanders control
OF the government is out OF the
question. They had a right to
limit the exercise oi the suffrage
when their national existence was
at stake, and the British Govern
ment was not justified, either NOR
ally or legally, under the conven-
tions OF 1881 and 1884. in interfer-
ing in the internal affairs oil the
Transvaal. The Beers were en-
titled to the control Of their gov
ernment. They were the pioneers
in the Transvaal and had estab-
lished themselves there after years
OF bloody warfare with the natives.
They fled from Cape Colony to
escaDe British dominion. and by
their courage and endurance made
homes for themselves and set up
a government which was satisIac-
tory to them. They won their in
dependence after annexation by
Great Britain, and in 1881 Mr..
Washington sentinel., 1900-03-17

Gladstone conceded their right to
govern themselves. Their govern.
ment may not have been perfect
one from the standpoint of the
Outlanders, but comparatively few
had any interest in the country,
and most OF them were attracted
there by the gold mines. They
did not want to become citizens oil
the Transvaal Republic. and yet
they wanted a voice in its affairs.
To have given them the suffrage
without any restrictions would
have been fatal to the Beers. In
few y ars the Outlanders would
have been in control and the Beers
in the minority. The assumption
OF the British Government that it
had the right to interfere in this
matter OF the suffrage was a men
ace to the independence Of the
Beers.

Mr.. Lentn SCORES Mr.. HUI.

That the power placed in the
hands ofthe Pre- sident OF the United
States is dangerous to liberty is
becoming every day more evident.
A good man will not use that
power for evil purposes. But con-
stitutions are made to curb bad
men. The = ost dangerous man
to free institutions ever in the
White House occupies the position
Of President today. Were he cold
and stern like Harrison, or domi-
mating and dogged like Cleveland,
the people would be alarmed by
his overt acts. But possessed Of
a glib tongue. a false heart and a
sanctimonious appearance, with
faculty pre- eminentlY OF making
the worse appear the better cause,
he has all tie qualities to lull the
masses into security.
1t is well known that Harrison,
through the influence of Office
holders, ioiced his denomination
Cleveland, when re elected, on
being asked to attend a public
gathering, made the significant
remark, by that time will have
Congress on my hands" McKin-
ley actually owns, body and soul,
judgment and conscience, the Re-
publican majority in the House
and Senate. He owns them by
reason or the offices at his disposal,
and the coherent power oi public
plunder. This was clearly brought
out at the hearing OF the Idaho
mining troubles, when Congress
man I,entz boldly told Congress-
man Hull, chairman OF the Com
mittee on Military p fairs, that he
(HulD was there to defend the
War Department, and that well he
might be, for he had got 10 per-
sonal appointments in that depart
ment for relatives and friends, two
being for his sons, one OF whom
was a lieutenant colonel who never
smelled powder.
We hope Mr.. Lentz will proceed
further and hunt up the relations
OF all Senator's and Representatives
who have been feeding at the pub
lie crib. Then many acts will ap.
pear clear that now surprise us.
The friends OF Tree institutions
must take some means to limit
this power OF appointment OF the
President. Otherwise Congress
will be mere annex Tor the pur
pose OF registering the wishes oI
the Executive. Strange that a
body which contains so many able
men should submit to it's self
effacement by so mediocre an in
dIvidual as William Mckinley.
