Editor Delawarean:
Slr:-ln your paper of Saturday last
| noticed communication over the
nom de plume of 'iAnti-Jingo," criti-
cising my article ON Wednesday, April
4. We'll, just and honest criticism is
all right. This pent-up Christianity
my friend speaks of is the trouble with
us all, and especially the English peo-
pie whom my friend extolls for their
long-standing and continued brutality
and butchery OF helpless unoffending
people. l don't believe that true
Christianity can be extended ait the
mouth of the cannon and gatling gun
as is England's mode as endorsed and
admired by my friend as in South
Africa to-day, as in India, and as in
China fifty years ago. England forced
her ports at the cannon's mouth
against the ardent protest of the EN-
peror of China and opened up the rum
trade, the opium business in that vast
put in her missionaries to preach to
these heather people, Jesus and Him
crucified. I don't believe in the mode.
but my friend seems to endorse murder
and butchery if it is England who is
doing the work and profiting thereby.
And poor China, where is she to-day
under England's missionary work
Her population reduced more than U.s.
900, and she is being pulled apart
by the four great Christian Nations of
the world. And India, poor India.
with her 35O,OO0,OOO, has fallen prey
and England has escaped with her
plumber while she was crying out
rogue" to divert the attention of
Others while she got off with her plum
der My friend seems to think this all
just and right. because it is England
She keeps her $4,000 soldiers in India
and taxes India to pay expenses to
keep her subjects in starving subju-
cation. She forced the gold standard
ON India to make all she buys cheap
and all she sells dear, and with all this
my friend thinks this missionary work
which will stand the test. Christianity
that is not pent-up, and this is the
same principle England is seeking un-
der false pretenses, by crying out
rogue" to divert the attention of
Others while she takes possession of
the gold mines and diamond fields of
South Africa the real and only cause
of the war, what my friend says to the
contrary. Notwithstanding he seems to
be proud of England and her murders
and butcheries.
Would it not be well to discard Eng
land as Christian nation and send
missionaries to her to enlighten her
and bring her to the knowledge of the
truth? And let my friend examine his
foundation and be sure it is the Rock
Christ Jesus, because this English sys-
tenn of missionary work is not what
Christ preached taught and practiced
when here on earth. My friend says
the Beers are ignorant and bigoted.
Paul Kruger is immensely rich. His
children among the most finely edu-
Gated people in the world. He him
self, lis very economical, as is his fam
lily, but lavishly benevolent ito his peo-
pie Thomas Belt, a German not vet
fifty years of age, worth 81 900 900 600.
and Sir Thomas Belt is a citizen of
Paul Kruger's country, and he is the
financial prince and wonder of the
globe. Hence, England's strong desire
to possess the South African gold I
mines and diamond fields under any
pretense, just or unjust, charity or no
charity. But luxury for her noble few
and taxation and starvation for India.
and cold blooded murder and exile for
the honorable enlightened rich Christ
ian Beers of South Africa. Whether
this is "rogue" or Christianity the pub
lie may Judge.
wish my friend would write over
his proper name, it would add to or de-
tract strength from his communication.
AS to his character and sincerity, the
public would be better able to Judge,
and they are entitled to it.
But if he persists In hiding under
cover I would suggest he adopt ais a.
name, nom de charlottesville
Arnold or Judas Iscariot.
