SLAVERY IN SULU AND HAWAII.
Under a Party Whose Once Revered Leader
Said: This Nation Cannot Exist Half Slave
and Half Free
National Watchman.

National Watchman.
In the closing year of the century
that has seen slavery abolished by all
the civilized nations of the earth, the
great American nation is humbled by
the crime of the Hannaites in taking
under the protection OF the Stars and
Stripes the Sulu islands and guaran-
teeing the Sultan protection for po-
iygamy and slavery. This, one of the
lowest and vilest governments of the
earth, the chief occupation of whose
people is and has been for ages that of
piracy, murder and robbery upon the
high seas, is now attached to the great
American Republic, the Sultan and
his chiefs put upon the national pay
roll and the vile institutions of that
government guaranteed protection
against the world under the flag and
at the expense of the American Re-
public.
The Sulu islands are more than nine
thousand miles distant from our west.
ern shores. They are small in area
and small in everything except in in
iquity, which there flourishes far be.
yond the dreams of the unspeakable
Turk.
More than year and a half has
elapsed since the Hawaiian Islands
were annexed to the United States,
during which time the modern refined
contract labor slave master has con-
tinued his importations of coolies and
populated the islands with labor that
is destined to remain servile forever.
Why has not the administration ap-
piled the laws of the United States to
Hawaii and exerted itself or shown
the least disposition to make those is
lands conform in some measure to the
American standard? We leave this
question to be answered by the honest
rank and file of Republicans who alb.
hor and detest the system that pre-
walls OH those islands.
1t remains to be seen whether or
not those who acted in good faith with
the Republican party in its early
struggles and triumphs, seeking to
promote higher and broader liberty
for all mankind, will bow their heads
to the yoke of Hannaism and stain
their souls with the black crimes that
are now being committed by an ad-
ministration that is owned, body and
soul, by the money kings, corporations
and trusts.

Gold Standard Ghosts.
tegister.Democrat.

Portland is strewn with wrecks
which have gone to pieces on the
British gold standard rocks. Go to
the side streets, away from the more
busy avenues of trade, and there you
will find many formerly prosperous
business men patiently struggling for
miserable existence. Once they
owned fine establishments, clothing,
dry goods, shoe houses, wholesale
hardware, and so on all down the line.
Many have given up the battle Of life
and now sleep ut Riverview and Lone
Fir. These men all read the Oregon
ian, and nine out OF ten of them
through the advice of that paper, un-
Willingly assisted in their own finan-
cial ruin. Month in and month out
they read-seven days in the week
that the silver dollar was not their
friend. They came to believe that the
gold standard was the proper thing to
have. They took it to their breast,
and like an asp, it stung them to
death. In a little Gingy shop on a
side street we see former prosperous
shoe merchant pegging shoes. An
other who kept leading dry goods
house in the days of silver coinage and
good times, now runs little place up
town sadly in contrast with his
former pretentious surroundings. An.
other, wealthy clothing merchant,
who, though always a good Democrat,
was bamboozled into the belief that
his duty lay in deserting Bryan and
voting for the candidate of the gold
bugs. In his extremity he finally ad-
mitted that something was surely
wrong" but that he had been led into
the belief that sound money" would
save him. He is dead now. A score
and more of others, with elbows out,
property gone and pockets empty. look
into the future with no hope whatever.
These are the men whom the Oregon
ian lured off into the dark, and sand
bagged with its British gold standard
bludgeon. These are the men whose
very ghosts should haunt the corridors
of the Oregonian building until judg-
ment day.

Curing Hams.

The following is an old Virginia re.
ceipt for curing hams, and is worth
the trial: "After cutting out and
sailing hams, then lay in salt "a
hours. Take out of salt, shake we'll.
To every one hundred pounds of meat
use five quarts of salt. one quart of
syrup, four ounces saltpeter, two ounces
soda, two or three pounds brown
sugar. Rub each ham we'll, put in a
clean syrup barrel, layer of the
above mixture, then a layer of meat,
alternately-the last layer being the
mixture. Cover we'll and allow to
stand from four to six weeks, accord
ing to the weather. Then hang up
and smoke with hard wood until dry.
Dip each ham in boiling water hot
with red pepper and borax.> Wrap
the hams in brown paper, sew up in
cloth tightly, then whitewash with
copperas added to the lime water"
This receipt will make your hams sell
for 10 cents pound where your
neighbor only gets nine cents.

Elizabeth Petrona, Empress of Rus
sia, daughter of Peter the Great, had
$1,000 dresses at the time of her death.
She was generally styled the humane
Elizabeth, because of a VOW she made
never to inflict capital punishment
during her reign. She was, however,
extraordinary luxurious, as shown by
her having at her death $1,000 unused
dresses in her wardrobe. She died in
1761, in the twenty-first year of her
reign and the fifty-third year OF her
age. Queen Elizabeth, who reigned in
England from 1858 to 1903, was also
given to extravaganza in the matter of
dress, and at her death left upward of
5000 dresses, all of them fit for use
and having been occasionally worn by
her.

THE GREED OF WEALTH.
Doubles the Ground Rents. Which Means
Ruin to Many Poor Lessees.

The World of the 1lth inst. says:
Notice has been served on the lease
holders of Astor property in this city
whose leases expire on May l, 1900,
that the ground rents will be raised
from $3.50 q year to $3.50.
The rentals shortly to be increased
are for the most part on property he.
longing to John Jacob Astor. Many
of the lease-holders have protested to
the Astor agents, but they were told
to make whatever complaints they
had in writing and these would be for
warded to Mr.. Astor.
Many tenants have been in posses.
sion OF the property for from twenty
to forty years, having bought it on a
mortgage and succeeded in paying off
nearly if not all OF the mortgage, only
to find themselves at an old age in o
fair way to be deprived of the savings
of lifetime.
The greater number affected by the
increase have houses in the territory
bounded by Avenue A to First Avenue
and Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets.
The houses are for the most part four
story tenemerts, twenty years old and
lacking in modern improvements.
The landlords consequently have dif-
iculty in securing tenapts. The rent.
ais for these houses average $1,000 a
year when all the rooms and the stores
on the ground floors are constantly
occupied. With the ground rental of
$50 now demanded and $500 a year
taxes, which must be paid by the
leaseholders, there is left $3.50 year
to the owners, from which repairs
must be deducted.
Said one tenant yesterday:
Fifteen years ago I paid $14, 900
for this property when the ground
rental was $3.50 year. paid out
81 900 in improvements and have
since spent thousands in keeping the
place in repair. Now that the Astors
have raised my ground rent, I am
caught in trap from which there is
no escape. We leaseholders are
ruined and there is no hope for u.s."
Charles Lutz, president of the Tax
payers Association of the Seventeenth
ward, in which the property lies, said
that the increase in the ground rent.
ais would further tend to depreciate
property in the neighborhood and
would prove the ruin of many of the
poorer leaseholders.

But probably years will elapse before,
step by step and after countless ex-
periments, We can at last announce
we have something as positive and as
thoroughly tested as Pasteur's cure for
hydrophobia, for instance.
These researches must be looked
upon as continuation of Brown-Se-
guards experiments. My celebrated
predecessor treated An cnfeebled hu-
man organ by the administration of
the macerations of corresponding or
gans taken from healthy animals.
This work had immense value and
still serves in the treatment of a num-
Der of diseases. But we are now pro.
cecding on different lines, and we are
entirely depending Oh direct circula-
ton. not on the digestive processes.
To conclude, man falls and loses
his powers-in other words, he falls
into senile atrophy-through the de-
struction of harmony in his cellular
life. This harmony is destroyed, ac-
cording to the law of the survival of
the strongest. Our hope is to provide
certain threatened cells with artificial
aids which will make them fit to cope
with their enemies during a longer
period.
Very shortly we shall have the
means and feel sufficiently advanced
in our Investigations to conduct some
prudent experiments upon human be-
ings.
Scientifically, the possibility of pro.
longing life is established-practically,
God knows when we shall discover it.
How the prolongation of human
life SO it should last mortally to say
25O years would alter the whole
scheme Of the world! But to pursue
that phase of the subject one must
leave the field of science and enter the
realms of philosophical speculation
and poetry, and I don't think an old
physician like myself called upon to
do that.
