A Bad Beginning,

The scandal in the Cuban postoffice
is the direct result of the application
CT the spoils system in parceling out
the offices.
1t is bad beginning. The revela-
tion of incompetency or corruption in
the administration Of the COLONIES" at
this early day is not reassuring. Amer
leans had much to say before the Span
ish war concerning the corruption OF
Spanish officials. If we cannot do bet
ter than the Spaniards what will our
new subjects" think of us. 1t is all
one to them whether they are robbed
by Spaniards or Americans. They do
not like to be robbed by anybody.
But-imperialism is imperialism,
The proconsul is always attended by a
swarm of buzzards even though he is
not a buzzard himself. If we adopt
conquest and the rule of force as ma
tional policy we must expect the cor
ruption that naturally flows from it.

Quito n Difference,

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, in
the senate last week said that armor
manufacturers had received less than 6
per cent on their investments. You
should have said holdings, Senator.
There is difference between holdings
and investment. 1t is the custom to
multiply the stock indefinitely that
the dividends may not become alarm
Ing. Many man is holding thou
sand dollars in paying stocks today
where only an hundred or less in cash
was paid in. This is the usual way of
robbing the laboring man and con-
sumer.-Troy co., Democrat.

New Haven special New York
World: Miss Lillian c. Morris, %
years old, has obtained damages from
the Winchester Repeating Arms Com
pany for injuries resulting in the loss
of the second and third fingers of her
left hand. A cartridge machine on
which she worked was responsible for
the accident. Miss Morris held that
her skill as a pianist was of no value
to her. as the loss Of the fingers pre-
vented her performing. Her attorneys
in arguing the case declared that her
chances for marriage were hampered
by the injury and consequent inability
to exercise her powers as a musician.
The machine on which Miss Morris
worked has history of misfortune,
being one OF those that exploded and
injured many persons two years ago.

"Ko-Kwai" is quite the fad of tho

prizes. All that comes to us from the
Orient has a charm of its own. What
could be more lovely than perfumes

Breath of Spring" and Dream Of the

of the odors. At party given Thurs
day only standard perfumes were given
to the guests, and young American

For the United States government
to seize country 10000 miles away
and try to rule its people, that is i'm
perialism. The Democratic party, in
all its history, never added territory
that it did not seal and sign an agree
ment clothing the people of that ter
ritory with all Of the rights of United
States citizenship, to be covered by
the American flag and the American
constitution.
Now, it was never intended that the
flag was to go to any part of the
world where our constitution does not
extend. If you tell me the people of
the Philippine islands are not fit for
you, I answer that people not fit
for our country is not fit for our flag"

CUBA-OUR NATIONS SHAME.

1t is not surprising that the people
and newspapers of Cuba are protest
ing energetically against the efforts Of
the administration at Washington to
establish a stable government" in
that island according to Republican
ideals. The matter of stealing one or
two millions of postoffice funds, and
of otherwise draining the island of any
wealth which the hawk eye Of Captain
GenerG Weyler had been unable to
detect; the grabbing and giving away
to Republican ring politicians of
franchises which may prove valuable;
the seizure of every good thing in
sight by syndicates representing Am
erican trusts-in brief, the general
process of preparing the Cuban people
for a reign of monopoly and industrial
slavery-is right in line with Repub-
lican policy in the United States, and
therefore all that Cuba can expect
while Mckinley remains in the white
house.
Americans, on the other hand, are
having an illustration in Cuba of the
conditions that would prevail here
should the American people surrender
their rights to the trusts and permit
them to usurp the functions OF gov
ernment, as they seek to do in the
United States through the agency of a
Republican president and congress,
and as they have already done in Cuba
under the aegis of Republican military
rule. The only hope for the Cubans-
as for Americans-is in the election of
a Democratic president, who would
punish the thieves that have been loot
ing the island, free the Cubans from
the franchise grabbers and syndicates
who want something for nothing, and
establish free government on the
Democratic plan of Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson, and thereby re-
deem the pledge given by congress in
the name and behalf of the American
people.-New York News.

The Boer problem is one which is
causing the administration much en-
barrassment. The arrival of the en-
voys of the South African republics
has brought President Mckinley face
to face with the situation, and while
he has given the ENJOYS their answer,
yet it is evident that the matter is by
no means settled.
Our established policy IN a general
way forbids our interference in for
eign affairs, and the wisdom of this
policy cannot as rule be disputed, but
the Boer case seems so different from
any other that hasty decision on the
lines heretofore marked out would not
be wise nor in accord with the wishes
of the American people.
The Monroe doctrine, which has
been accepted by all political parties
in the United States as part of our
national creed, forbids the extension
of the Jurisdiction of any monarchial
power on the American continent, and
1t is accepted as just by our people,
for the reason that such extension
would prove constant menace to our
free institutions. The Monroe doc
trine is founded on the principle which
Americans must maintain, and so far
as the effect is concerned, it may prove
as necessary to maintain it when ap-
piled to Africa as to America. This
policy has been heretofore applied only
to our own continent, but now the
rIYpctinn ,.ic hn mi Gtatnc
afford to see a grasping, monarchial
power like Great Britain deliberately
conquer and take possession of two
weak republics, even though they be
situated on another continent than our
own. The destruction of any republic
by monarchial power, no matter
where located, is dangerous to the fu-
ture of any republic on earth, for the
time is coming when the governments
under a monarchial form will be ar
rayed in body against those under
the republican form. If the repub-
lies of the world do not stand by each
other they will be destroyed piece
United States may be called upon to
face the combined powers of Europe
in an attempt to maintain her free in
stitutions without a single republican
ally to aid her. If we stand by and
allow Great Britain to add republic
after republic to her string of colonies,
she may grow too strong for our pro-
tests to be available, and the question
now to be met by the American people
is: Shall we allow this monster to
grow, or shall we trim its claws while
conditions enable us to do so?
1t will require no soldiers and no
battleships. A few words from our eX-
ecutive, expressed firmly and earnestly,
will be sufficient. We still remember
the Venezuelan affair, and the attitude
assumed by the administration. No
threats were necessary, no prepara-
lions for war, nothing but that mes
sage of Secretary of State Olney which
brought about result satisfactory to
the people of the United States.

NEW WOOD FOR TI-S.

Red Cuebracho, Found In sout:4 .i.,trica,
Is Superior.
A new and thoroughly suitable wood
for railroad ties has been found in the
forests in the northern part of the Ar
gentine Republic. 1t is the red cue
bracho. 1t is an exceedingly hard wood
wod and in its interior, not alone in
the bark, is Is to 20 per cent Of tan
min, which keeps the wood from rot
ting, no matter In what substance it
is buried. The wood has been used In
Europe for tanning, but outside OF the
Argentine Republic its utility to rail-
roads, it seems, is yet to be discov-
cred and appreciated. Posts made OF
this wood which have been buried so
years in land furrowed and quilted by
the torrential rains of summer have
been found to be In as good condition
as If they had been felled recently. In
the Argentine Republic ballasts for
railroad beds is unknown, and the ties
are laid in the ground, which frequent
ly is sandy and exposed to heavy rains
and dried by intense heat. So iron
cross ties were used until it was found
that the red cuebracho was undeniably
the best wood that could be used for
the purpose. 1t not only is SO hard
a wood that 1t has to be bored before
spokes and bolts can be driven into it,
but 1t is unusually heavy. 1t does not
split or become compressed with blows.

PRONoUNCING BOER NAMES

nouncing Kruger's name which are

ror; No. 2, Krooger. with hard 6, as
in gold" is possible; No. 3, Kreegar,
where the ee is an attempt at the
French vowel sound, is perhaps the
most aristocratic; while No. 4, Kreer
(rhyming with Frere) in which the G
entirely disappears, Is the one most
frequently heard among the Cape
Dutch themselves. The name of the
other president, Steyn, is pronounced
STAIN" and the same sound is given
to the diphthong Ell or ey, and also to
the vowel y, wherever these occur in
Dutch words. Examples are Leyds
(Laids), Reitz (Rates), Hofmeyer, the
names Bloemfontein Bloomfontane)
and Graaffreinet (accented on the last
syllable), Vryburg (Frayburg) and
Vryheid (F'rayhade). The last two
also illustrate the sound of (, which is
always given to initial IN Dutch,
other instances Of which are the fam
lily names Villiers Fill-yee or Fill-jee)
and Viljoen (Fillyune or Fill-june). 1t
will be observed that alternative pro-
nunciations are allowed of the ] in
both these names. In literary Dutch
this consonant is like the English y,
but at the Cape there is q strong ten
dency to give it the same sound as ]
in English. Cronje, therefore, may be
called Cron-jay, or, preferably, Cron-
yay, and Joubert either Jew-bear or
You-bear. Spion kop, of doubtful
fame, is called Spewn kop or Spune
kop.-South Africa

GOLD STANDARD FAMINE.

Lord George Hamilton, secretary OF
state for India, presided at meeting
in London recently, at which means
for the relief of the Indian famine
were considered. Lord Hamilton, in
referring to the devastating effects of
the famine, said that lit must not be
forgotten that it is wage famine as
well as a food famine"
In other words, India Is suffering
more from a panic" than from
shortage Of crops. The closing of the
Indian mints to the coinage of silver is
having the effect that was freely pre-
dicted when the move was being con-
sidered. The boarded silver bullion,
which in times of financial stringency,
were the mints open, could be coined
into money and turned into the chan
nels OF trade and commerce, is abso-
lutely useless as medium of ex-
change.
The American people are not unac-
quainted with these conditions. While
starvation of thousands is unknown
here, in times of monetary stringency,
following contraction of the circulat-
ing medium, thousands have suffered
for the necessities of life, with plenty
on every hand.
In fact, there would be no such
thing as famine were the products of
labor equitably distributed, and were
every man given opportunity to labor,
by free access to the son.
Undoubtedly there would be some
famine in India were the Indian
mints open to the coinage of silver,
as the conditions existing there are
also due to landlordsm and other evils
of worldwide industrial system, but
that the contraction of the circulating
medium by the closing of the mints
to the coinage of silver has greatly
aggravated the situation is shown by
Lord Hamilton's confession that it is a
wage famine as well as food fam
inc" that Is responsible for the appall-
ing conditions existing in famine
stricken India. Give India 16 to
again and there will be no more wage
famincs over there.

reelected Senator Hale not long ago,

of a reelection as any Maine congress-
