Drunkenness in England.

In a letter written from London to-
a Topeka newspaper, Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon, author of "In His Steps,"
says:
'"The people of Kansas are living
in paradise so far as the curse of the
liquor business is concerned, when
they compare their condition, as
prohibitory state, with Scotland and
England.
"From the day of our landing in
Liverpool up to the present we have,
seen the effects of the curse of drink
almost without days exception, and
in terms of emphatic disgust we are
ready to declare our astonishment
that English people will endure the
sights and results that go with the
entire drink traffic.
Mrs. Sheldon and have been in
suited in the cars by drunken soldiers.
one of whom threatened to do us per-
sonal injury, and not soul in the train
offered any remonstrance, such is the
love of the British for their military
heroes. We had to get off the side
walk and go in the street to give the
drunkards room. We have been JOS
tied on railway platforms by drunken
men and women; we have had intoxi-
eating drink offered us at the houses
of English people; we have seen the,
evils of the. public house on almost
every corner, with barmaids behind
the bar and little children in front Of
it and men and women crowding
every inch of, room in every public
house in every town and city we have
visited. and it is the wonder of be-
wilderment to us that such conditions
can be faced with Indifference.
IF England goes to destruction in
the next century it will not be because
Of outside war or dangers from other
nations, but because she has drunk
herself into destruction.s

JOHN HAYS ALASKAN INFAMY.

The Minneapolis Times is the only
paper of influence in the Twin Cities
that has been American enough to
criticise Secretary Hay for his sub
scrviency to England in yielding the
claim of the disputed territory in
Alaska to Canada, pending a settle
ment by the high joint commission.
Though frequently differing from the
Times on other matters Of public in,
tercst. the Irish Standard fully agrees
with the views expressed by it on
Hays mo.lus vivendi. In the course
of leading article in last Sundays
issue our esteemed contemporary sen,
sibly says:
ut is an axiom in diplomacy that it
is dangerous to yield until you have to.
What constraint was there upon Mr.
Hay that he has yielded, not to the
claims of Great Britain, for they never
would have been pushed, but to those

were trumped up after the discovery
that Alaska was something more than
a refuse heap for icebergs, moraine and
dead fish. Let us be frank about it
and say that no better time in this gen.
Grafton could have been found for a
diplomatic ultimatum to Great Britain
as to Alaska than in the year of our
Lord, 1900"
The Times is correct in saying that
no better time could have been found
to settle the dispute by an ultimatum
like that of Grover Cleveland in the
Venezuelan case, than this presen,
year of our Lord. England has her
hands full in South Africa, and Canada
has sent troops to help the "mothel
country" in her piratical war on two
small republics. If the United States
had real American as secretary OF
state instead of Britisher who sent
his own son at the expense Of the
American people to aid the British
against the Beers, the boundary ques
ton would have been settled satisfac
torily without murmur on the par,

manner stated, is $43O,000,O0O, which
exceeds the total cost of the war by
$35,OOO,OOO.
This surplus is exclusive of silver
and paper currency which has accu-
mulated in the. treasury. While
this enormous sum in gold was being
boarded in the treasury and loaned to
the friends of the administration for
nothing, the amount of war taxes col
lected from the people for the first six
months of 1900 is $1O40OO,OOO. If the
people endorse such system Of finance
as that, they deserve to be humbuggcd
and robbed by the plutocracy all the
rest of their lives. No government on
earth would have dared to swindle the
people in such a barefaced manner,
and no people but Americans would
have stood it so uncomplainingly.

1t is very doubtful, in my estima-

chicks as we'll as for older fowls
could be found than whole wheat.
And it is comparatively a cheap
food, too, so long as we can get best
quality at about seventy-fve cents a
bushel, and second grade at from
fifty to sixty cents a bushel. Some
times I have wheat almost an exclu-
sive ration for young chicks for
weeks at a time, besides what seeds,
