ONLY ANIMALS SACRED.

Tens of thousands of poor, half-starv-
ed people are begging in the streets of
Bombay. To all this misery the
wealthy Hindu merchants are giving
scant attention, but they are more in
dustrious than ever in feeding pigeons,
and gathering into their infirmaries all
kinds of poor and distressed animals.
The doctrine of the sacredness of ami
NAL life, which is so universally believ-
ed in India, has tended to dry up, rather
than to quicken the streams Of human
kindness. At no time is this tendency
SO manifest and SO distressing as dur
ing a sore famine such as is decimat-
ing India today, and Great Britain.
bent on empire. overlooks 1t all and
spends it's millions to crush liberty.
Imperialism and human kindness have
nothing in common, and that is as true
in America as in Europe. Only animals
are sacred in the eye Of the imperialist.

Some Democratic papers are urging
that the Kansas City platform say very
little, If anything, about free silver and
16 to /, and others want to include
everything that was in the Chicago
platform, and go farther in the direc-
tion of an onslaught on trusts and i'm
perialism. The latter course is the one
that will doubtless be pursued, and it
behooves Democrats to quit fussing
among themselves and get ready to
give the Mckinley administration the
lambasting it needs. If the platform
contained nothing else than the words
Honesty in public affairs. equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
1t would be broad enough for all Ameri-
cans to stand on. The evils of the Nc
Kniley administration are sufficient to
unite all Democrats in opposition TO it.

1t has been talked from Washington
that the balance of trade with foreign
countries is all in our favor, but when
Germany made complaint about ad-
mitting some of our products, the am
bassador at Berlin was told to call at
tention to the fact that the balance of
trade between the two countries
has been largely in favor Of Germany
during the past year. The state de-
partment and the statistical depart
ment ought to get together.

fight with the Beers was terribly hot.
Considering the effectiveness of the
Boer craftsmanship the casualty list
will be very long, but like the American
casualty list from the Philippines, it
will be sent in homeopathic doses. When
there is lull, and no operation is on,
consequently no one being hurt, the
commanders will catch up with the list
of those killed and wounded several
days previous. In this way the public
is fooled into thinking the losses are
light.

1t is the plain intention of the admin
istration to defeat the Nicaraguan ca
nal. 1t was allowed to pass the house,
but will surely be held up in the senate.
The members Of the house are elected
by direct vote of the people and they
would not dare face their constituents
without having passed the measure.
With the senate it is different, all the
more reason that senators should be
elected by direct vote Of the people.
The passage of the canal bill in the
house is pure buncombe.

In the United States court at st. Paul

In the United States court at st. Paul
yesterday, Porto Rican was sentenced
to jail. His counsel fried to have him
released on the ground that he was not
a resident of this country, but the court
held that the Island was an integral
part of the United states and that the
constitution of the United States COW
cred 1t. The fellow ought to apply to
President Mckinley to have that judge
removed. Mr.. Mckinley has said that
the constitution has nothing to do with
Porto Rico and that all the interest
the people of that country had in the
United States was to help pay the
taxes

Thousands are dying in India for the
want of bread. Hundreds are being shot
down in South Africa imam unholy war
against freedom. In the light of these
facts it is interesting to read from a
London correspondent that last week
was one of extreme gaiety in the Brit
ish capital, owing to the return of the
queen from Ireland and the victory OF
the Prince of Whales's horse, Diamond
Jubilee, at the races. Sense of shame
seems to be absent from the heart OF
the imperialist.

Hon. Abraham Fishcer was born in
Cape Colony, educated in England and
graduated there as barrister of law.
Subsequently he took a full course in
dutch law in Holland. He practiced his
profession in Cape Colony, and later re-
moved to Bloemfontein where he has
been constant friend of the Beers
and has gained their complete conf
dence He was representative of one
of the election districts and was finally
elected a member of the executive
council of the Orange Free state, and
during the administration of President
Steyn is one of the most trusted officials

various commissions in that connec-

The enormous sum Of $1S3, ,405, ,292 has
been wrung from the people by the war
tax up to March 81, 1900. This is inde-
pendent of all other internal revenue
taxes. There is no disposition manifes-
ted by congress to relieve this onerous
burden. Petitions have been sent, but
they have been disregarded. The ques-
ton the people will have to decide this
fall is whether they want Mr.. Mckinley
and a war tax and Mr.. Bryan without it.
The proposition of the Democratic par
ty is to give the people of the Philip
pines their freedom, with the United
States standing guard to see that they
are not interfered with by any other
nation while they work out their own
salvation. The war tax Is to be repeal
ed because it is no longer necessary.

President Mckinley should appoint a
commission to find out just what the
trust plank in the Ohio Republican
platform means. 1t says that the Re-
publican party stands pledged to
legislate against ruinous combinations,
but the Republican party is in power
and has not legislated nor has it pro-
ceeded against the trusts with such
laws as we have. If 1t stands pledged
why doesn't it do something? Surely
a commission ought to straighten this
thing out. 1t won't hurt the trusts any,
and will create a few more fat places
for friends. Besides there hasn't been
a commission appointed for nearly two
weeks

John w. Foster, former secretary of
state, is of the opinion that Great Bri-
tain will regret herwar against the inde-
pendence of the Transvaal people. Fos-
ter is a student of international condi-
tions and he says that no matter
whether nations might desire, to keep
their hands off or not, there is always a
restlessness when trade relations with
even small provinces are disturbed.
While 1t Is true that England is dis
eliminating in favor of those who might
make her the most trouble and is shut
ting American trade out almost wholly,
it is yet true that there is certain incon-
venience all along the line. Mr.. Foster
thinks If the Beers are able to continue
the fight for couple Of months compli-
cations will arise that will make Great
Britain glad to leave them alone.

Unable to stem the tide of uneasiness
that is threatening the administration,
Chairman Hanna is sending out word
that the Democrats are trying to get
up labor troubles. This Is bosh and
nonsense. The laboring people are
justly demanding that they be given
far share of the profits Of their toll.
While the trusts are cornering the
markets and are putting up the prices
of the products wages are not being
advanced. Mr.. Hanna cannot meet such
conditions by blaming the situation on
Democrats. They are the direct and
logical result of the combinations that
the Republican party is fostering.

The administration is silent on the
progress Of events in the Philippines,
and when brought to the rack declines
to make any denial that matters are 60

this week it was charged by Senators
Pettigrew and Teller, and the charge
was unchallenged. that the American
army in the Philippines does not now oc-
cupy ten miles square in the island of
Luzon; that the tenure Of a soldier in

eight months; that in the year or more

ritory than when we began, or quite as
much. At this rate, how long is it going

SEEKING PEACE.

Peace ENJOYS are coming to America
from the Beers. They come to refute
some Of the stories that are being told
to bolster up the secret alliance between
this country and Great Britain. They
come to tell their side of the story.
But they will not be received officially
by the state department. An under
secretary may say good morning and
tell them that "Knee-Breeches" isn't in,
but that will be the extent Of 1t. There
will be no expressions of sympathy to
the struggling republic nor will there
be any interference with the plans Of
the British. The envoys from the Boer
farmers. who are being shot down and
their homes confiscated In the interest
Of religious liberty" will have to tell
their story to the plain people Of this
country and look for resultsat the polls
in November. These ENJOYS know that
they can expect nothing from this coun-
try under Its present rule unless they
make public sentiment SO apparent that
the president will put his ear to the
ground again and get his shifter out.

is now two days out at sea, bound for
