The Civilizine Englishmen.

Ille average Bocr outranks the aver
age Englishman in intelligence and all
that goes to make Christian virtue, says
the Philistine. England may have
higher culture; but over against this
there are myriads of men and women
living in England who a4e sunk into
such depravity as cannot be found in
South Africa. England wants power
and yet more powcr-tl1at is all she
wants-morc power in order to domi-
nate and tax. Power implies response
bility; England fails in her obligations.
She has now more people under her
supervision than she can properly care
for. Two-t thirds OF London, Liverpool
and Manchester are scething masses Of
destitution, prostitution, drunkenness
and depravity. If Salisbury and Cham
berlain wish to up1ift and educate, there
is ample opportunity at their doors. In
India, men, women and children are
dying of starvation, and their cries for
help cannot be heard in London for the
booming of cannon in the Transvaal.
England has sacrificed over $4,000
lives, and fifty million pounds sterling
in an endeavor to suppress shepherds in
South Africa. Had these $4,000 men
been utilized in distributing among the
natives of India treasure wasted in
South Africa, the famine could have
been entirely averted; and the $4,000
young men who are now dead might
have been utilized in teaching the peo-
pie how to avert famine in the future.
By no stretch of charity, and by no vio-
lence to grammar can you call the Brit
ish nation Christian people. The
Christ spirit simply has no place at all
in the political policy OF Salisbury. The
British leaders have an itch for dicta-
ton, and their chief vice is a thirst for
power. They are like farmers who wish
to annex all the land that adjoins theirs;
and they keep annexing until they are
absolutely unable to cultivate the soil
properly, and then they slip and slide
down the financial chute into Avernus.
One-half of England's subjects are
there now-economically, mentally and
spiritually. The desire for place and
power brings about war; And war,
strife, dictation and domination are i'm.
pcrialism; and imperialism is strife, war,
hate, grasping greed, death, hell and
the grave.

G0ldSmith,s Tomb In London

Oliver Goldsmith, the author OF that
charming story, The Vicar OF Wakefield
was pleasant fellow, and he was great
ly beloved by his numerous friends. 1t
is said that his death was shock to the
literary world. Burke, on hearing the
news, burst into tears. DR.. johnson
also was deeply gricvcd Writing some
time afterwards TO Boswell, he observed,
"Of poor Goldsmith there is little to be
told more than the papers have made
public. lie died Of fever, made, am
afraid, more violent by uncasincss OF
mind. His debts began to be heavy,
ana all his resources were exhausted.
Sir Joshua is Of the opinion that he
owed no less than two thousand pounds.
Was ever a poet SO trusted bclorc?"
On the afternoon OF Goldsmith's fun
cral april 9, 1774,) his staircase at No.
Brick Court, Middle Temple, was
crowded with mourncrs OF all ranks and
conditions Of life, amongst whom the
poor, to whom he had always been a
KIND friend, were especially conspicuous.
The exact position OF his grave is un-
known, but in 1860 plain monument
bearing the simple inscription, "Hcrc
lies Oliver Goldsmith" was placed or
the north side OF the Temple Church, as
near as possible to the spot where his
body is supposed to lie.

l should not be surprised were we to
have one lively debate over some of the
revelations made at yesterdays sitting
of the Army Contracts committee. It
came out then that Birmingham am
munition firm, of which one of Cham
berlain's brothers is chairman and in
which all the family is interested, has
been shown peculiar favoritism in the
allotment of contracts for cordit. Its
bid was the highest and the quality of
its stuff was not frst-class, but other
firms in better repute and OF equal capa-
city were nevertheless passed by, al
though they offered to furnish the pow
der cheaper, and when the inquisitive
members of the committee wanted to
know the reason for this the answers
we're wholly unsatisfactory. The War
Office, where nephew of the Chamber
lains occupies an official position, over
rode the Admiralty in the matter of its
contracts and gave the lions shares to
Kynochs, in Birmingham.
Our hands are full enough, and our
own war on the west coast Of Africa is
in so unpleasant plight that l really
do not like to allude to it. Kumassie
has not been relieved, and it is ten days
now since the supplies of the garrison
were exhausted if the messages that
came through early in the month were
! correct. Our relieving troops are too
few, and it is impossible to increase
their number with any benefit to the
| enterprise, even were the men available,
because the transport cannot be OBJ
tained, although we are forcing the ma
tives, Communicating" them is the new
word, to become carriers. 1t is the
rainy season, also the season OF dripping
grass and forests and flooded rivers.
Altogether we had best shut down the
hopper on this unpleasant episode. By
and by perhaps it may be interesting to
inquire into the origin OF the sudden
outbreak and of the evidently wide
spread and fierce hostility to our DOM
inion.
cannot, however, forget that Sir
David Chalmers, who was an excellent
official, honest, higl-minded, and cap
able, had his heart broken and went to
a premature grave because Of the scorn
with which the Colonial Office treated
his recommendations for the settling OF
the hut -.tas dispute and otlsre conten-
tious matters in this same west Africa,
a portion of which is now in rebellion
against u.s.
At home there is now no lightsomc
news. Week after week passes by in
dull and hundrum sort of way that
not even the visit of his Highness the
Khedive does anything to tighten. We
have no troops to make show with,
and no spirit OF gala is to be found in
society

reason for believing that General
Brooke was not bigot and not the
man to invent law OF the character of
the one in question. 1t is known, how
ever, that one OF his Cuban secretaries,
Senor Lanuza, is afflicted with the spirit
of hostility to the church which charac-
terized the French revolutionists and
the leaders Of the bygone republic OF
Spain, and the theory has been ad-
vanced that, by reason of the artful
wording OF the decree, which makes no
direct allusion to the church, General
Brooke signed the order without discov-
ering the deceit there was in it or ex-
pecting that it was an attack upon the
church. At the time OF Secretary Roots
visit to Cuba last March, Bishop Sbar-
retti had conference with him, in
which the bishop was given reason to
hope for an early solution of the ques-
ton, and considerably over month
ago Bishop Sbarretti requested General
Wood to so modify the order that
marriage contracted before any duly att
thorized minister of religion may be lc-
gally valid. Later on the bishop for
mally presented to the military COVER
nor petition signed by more than
10000 OF the best citizens OF Cuba re-
questing the immediate modification OF
the obnoxious order These signatures
were obtained i'll very short time in
the diocese of Havana alone. The arch
bishop OF Santiago offered to forward a
petition from his diocese, but it was
deemed well not to delay The protest OF
Bishop Sbarretti has received universal
commcndation. He says in part: "Wc
request the modification OF General
Brookc's decree because it is contrary
to the rights OF the Catholic church,
contrary to moral and social order, con-
trary to the principles OF liberty OF con-
science and freedom OF worship pro-
fcsscd by the United States government
and guaranteed by the treaty OF Paris,
and contrary to the legislation now OBJ
tanning in the several states and terri
tories OH the subject"
With the exception OF few politi-
Clans, no one i'll Cuba desired the change
made by General Brooke Naturally the

court, the surroundings OF which much
resemble those OF your courts of Justice.
is repulsive to the Catholic women of
Cuba. Every respectable newspaper in
Havana favors the modification OF the,
decree as prayed for by Bishop Sbarrctti
Formal protests have been made even
by Protestant missionaries, the unpop-
ularlty OF the law is almost universal
and it is commonly spoken OF as arbi-
trary and odious.

Referring to William Michael Byrne,
McKinley's district attorney at Win
ington, Del, the Boston Republic says:
'It was, we believe, Mr.. Byrne who
steered the Mckinley boom at Platts-
burg last summer when the president
was enabled to make a speech at the
Catholic summer school, and to secure
applause for sentiments which Catho-
lies generally do not approve It is
his activity in striving for the Catholic
support for his master which brings him
political reward, but he should be prev
ented from dragging the church and its
institutions in the mire of politics. Mr..
Byrne should be suppressed"
We notice that Byrne is figuring con-
spicuously as Catholic during the in
cumbency of his Office. Not long since
he delivered an address on Sir Thomas
More. which was published in the Balti-
more Mirror.

says: If the Boers can keep up their
hight until England gets thoroughly en-
tangled in the Chinese imbroglio, Gen.
Roberts may find it cxpcdicnt TO modify
his demand for unconditional surrender

peace. To maintain her position in
China, if all the powers take a hand in

The PresIdentIaIr:: Campaign Of 1900.

The wars Of America have, here
tofore, settled affairs Of state.
Great questions of policy, of ma
tional moves and national conclu-
sions have been answered as soon
as the battle smoke cleared away,
and the victor realized by his VIC
tory. The war with Spain is un-
like its predecessors. 1t has not
answered questions, but has crea-
ted problems which may not be
solved lightly. The result of the
campaign of 1900 will make a
broad mark upon the page Of his
tory; it will doubtless establish the
policy of the great Republic of
America for quarter of a century.
1t is vastly important, therefore,
that every citizen shall study the
situation through that best OF me-
diums, great newspaper. The
most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is The Semi Weekly
Republic, which affords compre-
hensive view of the political situa-
tiOn in all its bearings. 1t pub
fishes the new news. The Semi
Weekly Republic is democratic
paper, but it offers to its readers
the news regarding all the politi-
cal parties, and this without pre-
judice.
The subscription price Of the
Semi Weekly Republic is s1.0O
per year. The Republic Sunday
Magazine S1.25 per year. Both
papers are now being offered at the
very low price of S1.50 for one
year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid fol
at the same time.
