THE MESSAGE
THURSDAY. JUNE 81, 1900.
THE BRAVEST u
r. THE TENDEREST.

In popular magazine was rela-
ted, not many months ago, an in
cident illustrating the tenderness
of Abraham Lincoln. While pay
ing Grant visit at his headquart-
ers at Corinth, Miss, he became
much attached to three kittens he
found there, and when leaving he
gave orders that they should be
treated kindly. 1t isconceded now
by all that Lincoln was kind to
everything and everybody. He
was so much inclined to pardon
soldiers for violation of army rules
that his cabinet advisers often be-
came impatient with him. 1t was
a quality of his kindness that he
could be as tender toward his en-
emies as to his friends. 1t was due
to this fact that his death was al
most as much lamented at the
South us at the North. In this
trait of Mr.. Lincoln's character
shines forth the true greatness of
the martyred president.
The great and brave are always
kind. The little and cowardly are
sure to be cruel. A man displays
cruelty by whipping horses, and II
big boy exhibits his cowardicc and
cruelty by abusing Il smaller and
weaker companion. This boy tor
lures birds and bugs and other
helpless creatures, and torrents
also his little brothers and sisters.
He never takes one his size, for he
is as cowardly as he is cruel The
brave boy is the one who will not
give any human being or beast
needless suffering. The man who
has some OF the pity of God III his
soul will be tender in proportion
as.hc is Lbravc. When Captain
Philip asked his brave sailor boys
not to cheer when the poor Span
iards were going to the bottom of
the sea, his words thrilled the
world and made Il hero of him for
ever.

The loving are the daring" Ncw

Curious Ancient Custom.

In olden days there was a curious
custom in Alexandria. In this Egyp-
tain city at stated and appointed
times certain persons were commits
stoned to drive through the streets,
and, hating at whatever door they
pleased, to chant aloud the faults Of
which the dwellers Of that house we're
guilty. That one might not careless
ly reproach anyone, they were re-
quired beforehand to inquire into the
manner of life Of each citizen. The
object Of this custom was that men
might be led in the paths Of virtue by
the thought of the shame which was
publicly provided for cvil-doers.

The Cost of Empire.

Anent the Christian Herald S
appeal for funds in aid of the India
famine sufferers, the Philadelphia
North American says;
Two rifle cartridges a day will
support one life.
One six-poundcr will support a
life two months.
One twelve FOUNDER shell will
save life until the harvest
One pair of cavalry boots will
save Il man, wife and child until
the next crop is gathered.
One minutes discharge of Il Max
i'm gun will save whole family
from death.
The cost of the war for one see
ond will save ten lives for four
months.
Two rifles will save them and af-
ford them the comfort of blankets
during the rainy and cold season.
The cost of firing one shot from
a six inch gun would save five fam
lilies.
One scrub baggage train horse
would save small community.
One fifth of the cost of attempt
ing to conquer the Beers would
save the entire fifty millions of
England's starving subjects in In
dia.
The rescue of these lives is sim
ply Il matter Of money. There is
food enough in India. All that is
necessary is the means of buying
it. THE cable operates quickly"
says the Christian Herald, land
your contribution today may save
scores, hundreds, yes, thousands
of lives tomorrow The cable
would operate just as quickly for
the British government as it would
in the hands of benevolent Ameri-
cans. If it be true that every one
of us who contributes two dollars
saves the life of some wretched
Hindo who would die but for that
succor, then every human being in
India who perishes for lack of such
assistance is murdered by the gov
eminent that is abundantly able to
supply it, but prefers to devote the
price of ten llindo lives per Secoad
to the extinction of republicaniSm
in South Africa. That is the
price that Staggers humanity.'
Instead of saving its starving
subjects in India, the British En-
pire prefers to kill people in South
Africa Does" Empire" involve no
responsibility, or is it simply Ii
cence to kill.

Balanga, Luzon, =. l., April 20,
1900. 1t is very hot here at pres
ent but it gets cooler towards ev-
ening. You asked me if | ever see
Clyde Bcshears. Yes, | met him
at Mabbalaccet after Il battle. 1t
had been raining for four days and
the 18th Regulars and 22d Nolun-
tcers had been engaged at Mabba-
laccet The battle ended at about
6 o'clock p. III. Then the regulars
went into town. | was walking
down the street when heard n ia
miliar voice. This brought me mt
once to a sudden halt, and, listen
ing, | heard it again. Then some
one addressed the owner of the
voice in army style. On entering
the bamboo shack | had Il sight of
Clyde Beshcars. He had in his
possession bowl of cooked rice.
An invitation to dine was gladly
accepted and after supper we re-
tired to talk over old times. Next
morning | was awakened by Il
trumpeter and went to my com
mand to answer roll call. | have
never seen him since. Clyde has
been shot thru the arm since then
with II Mauser bullet. | will send
home IL large collection of pictures
soon. haven't been sick II day
since here. Have met but one
white woman in six months.
The BID has fight every night
some place along the line. We
had it hot few nights ago. The
country is all afire, as when we go
scouting they issue each man n bit
of matches for use. The latest hit
amongst the officers is to see who
can get the most niggcrs' ears on
string.
You asked me what was mostly
raised here; they Fare us follows:
rice, sugar cane, tobacco, hemp,
lemons, cOcoanutS, oranges, bana-
mas, pine apples, wanas, hcedlc
nuts, mangolcs, grape fruit, water
melons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes,
plums and many other tropical
fruits.
| have never seen Filipino yet
who dOesn { smoke: women and all
includ ed. | have theus of very
fine guitar. 1t belongs to the high
priest in whose convent we are
chartered.
The fighting has started up all

our regiment to stay here another
year. The daily menu at present
is very poor.

ton of this Island. 1t is GOO miles
in length and 100 miles in width.
1t is very mountainous along the

The Famine and Silver.

The famine in India is the direct
result of the establishment of the
gold standard, says the Rocky
Mountain News. The pestilence
is the result of the famine. The
gold standard is responsible for
both visitations. For centuries
India has been absorbing silver.
The wealth of the people, the
hOardings of the middle and poorer
class was all in the white metal.
When silver sank in value, the
masses found themselves impover-
ished. When there was Il partial
crop failure the people We're too
poor to buy. All accounts of the
hunger in India agree that its cause
is not the lack of grain, but a lack
of means with which to purchase
it. The government Is feeding
5000, 900 a day, but this does not
relieve the distress. Neither do
the large charitable contributions
which have been made from all
portions of Europe, England and
this country. To the horrors of
hunger have been added the hor-
rors of pestilence, and cholera is
claiming thousands of victims each
day. There are 93, 800, 900 people
in the afflicted districts, and some
idea of the mortality that is certain
to cnsue can be obtained when the
assertion is made on English au-
thority that ten times the aid now
being rendered is needed to check
the work of death.
This is the picture Of conditions
in India as the London, not the
American, press is showing it.
Can the advocates of the gold
standard contemplate it with sat
isfactiOn or complacency! The AS
sertiOn so frequently made during
this discussion of the standards
that the cause Of silver was the
cause of civilization is vindicated
The distress, actual suffering in
fact, that the adoption of the gold
standard has visited on our OWL
people is well known, 1t is but 1
drop in the bucket comparedt to the
absolute ruin and disaster that Ia,
been wrought in silver-using coun'
tries like India.
The curse of God will be upon
those who have wrought all thi'
hunger and death by Juggling witt
the money standards, and thus i'm
poverishing millions of people witt
famine and pestilence as attendant
results.
