scHooLsoYs FOR FREEDOM.

Twenty-Five thousand schoolbovs

demonstrated that the love of liberty
still burns in the unpolluted hearts of
the American youth as warmly as when
the schoolboys of Boston waited upon
the English general in IT'S and COM
planned OF the conduct of his majesty's
soldiers.
A messenger boy was called and
given a message to be delivered to
President Kruger, as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned students of the
public schools of Philadelphia, the city
where our own forefathers enlisted in
their splendid and successful struggle
against English oppression. desire to
express to you and to the fighting men
of the South African republic their
great admiration for the genius and
courage that has checked English SIN
vasion Of the TransvaaI, and the under
signed extend their most earnest
wishes that in the end the South Afri-
can republic win triumph over Eng
land in a war in which the Boer cause
is noble. the British cause unjust"
This action Of the schoolboys in
whose minds the Lessons of American
history and the truths of the Declara-
ton of Independence are still fresh, is
enough to make our Anglicized admin
istration ashamed Of itself.

ROOM IN The WEST.

The opportunities and advantages Of
fered by the arid west for home build
Ing are 50 great that the wonder is that
men and statesmen overlook them and
point to the tropic isles of the Orient as
an outlet for a surplus population
There are millions of acres awaiting
government attention which can be
made productive and inviting by irri
cation. 1t is American soil. too. on the
American continent, and covered by the
American constitution. In a recent ar
ticle by the secretary of the National
Irrigation association he says: 1--WE
have been. and are today. reaching out
into the markets of the Orient for new
fields to sell our manufactures and are
sending men into every part Of the
world to find more trade for the prod
ucts of American handiwork Yet
within our midst is an empire capable
Of sustaining vast population and fur
nishing a market comprising the best
class of buyers in the world, and all
practically at the doors of our facto-
ries. Arid America stands ready to be
annexed. She suggests no foreign COM
plications nor embarrassments, no
treaties. no army. She is Of us, and If
she is asked she win gladly come"
There may be some excuse for east
erners who do not appreciate the extent
of the arid west, the fertility of the
soil. the bound1ess possibilities OF irri-
cation and cultivation, to ignore the
needs Of the region and look to Asia
for the expenditure Of millions for new
homes for cur people. But what ex-
cuse ran westerner offer for favor
ing a policy which sends the land-re-
claiming millions of the nation across
the Pacific where pone but natives can
thrive, and where the islands are al
ready thickly populated?
Here in the west is the place for this
outlay; here is the place to establish
American homes; here is the location
for our surplus population; here is land
and water and climate and the flag and
the constitution. Let the money wasted
in Oceanica be judiciously expended
here.

shock OF his death. and lived on peace
fully, recalling only the happy part OF
the past
The tragic existence Of this famous
brother and sister would not now be
remembered were it not for their liter
airy work. which perpetuated their unit
ed personality. Charles Lamb will ever
be remembered for his essays. full of
tenderness, deiicacy, pethos and quaint
surprises, and for the high value Of
his critical faculty. His Essay on the
Genius OF Hogsrth" is by many con-
ssdered the finest critical paper in the
English tongue. And Mary viii not
be forgotten, because OF her colIabora-
ton with her brether in the Tales
From Shakespeare" which have de-
lighted so many generations Of child
ren.
Goodwin, the publisher, suggested that
Mary Lamb undertake this work, but
she did not feel herself worthy until
her brother swore that she had sup
piled all the ideas he ever had. So they
accomplished ii together, Charles
wrestling with the tragedies, while
Mary took the more fantastic or hui
mcrouS plays and right bravely did
she acquit herself. Can you imagine
more tragic effort at comedy than this
family presented when you consider
the blachness into which Charles Lamb
dipped his pen that he might write
jokes with tears on his fsce) for his
half-mad sister, while she faithful. az

1t is good to think that this venture
landed them financially away above
their simple necessities. so that in their
old age they enjoyed to the full the
luxury Of giving. After Charles had
passed away, II was his aged sisters
delight to keep up the pensions TO needy
friends in which they had taken such
pleasure. In her last years she. too.
was pensioned by loving friends, but
the nature OF her irarmity mercifully
spared her that knowledge. Happily
and peacefully she was laid TO rest
beside her brother. like Caroline Her
schel, she had lived in her brother 3

effacement was scientific serfaom. while
Mary Lambs was full partnership in

1t is interesting 70 knew that Mary
Lambs Shakespesreen labors did not
end with her collaboration with her
brother. Among the children whom she
taught with the little Emma Isola,
whose adoption frightened the sadness
OF the Lamb household, were Hazlitt's
son and Mary Victoria Novello. This
little girl became Mary Cowden Clark,
whose Concordance Of Shakespeare
first took shape in her mind when she
listened to her gentle teachers read
ing Of the manuscript Of the Tales"
For this reason Gilbert Hubbard calls
Mary Lamb ''the grandmother of the
justly famous Conc cdance."

FITCH ON Porto RICO.

Mr.. Z. Fitch maintains ais reputation
for versatility. In an interview printed
when he first came to town he said:
Porto Rico should be organized into
a territory and given free commercial
intercourse with the rest Of the coun-
try. That was the presidents original
idea. and it is right. There is nobody
kicking against it except a few tobacco
an6 sugar growers"
In a communication printed in last
evenings News he said that this tariff
bill was 2 good thing, and almost gave
the people of that distressed island
representation without taxation"
That is certainly a strange offer for
the Porto Ricans to spUrn. However,
ex-President Harrison and other con-
stitutional lawyers interpret the bill
differently.
But the real question is not one of
benefit or injury to the Porte Ricans. 1t
is not a matter of charity or sympathy.
but of right and wrong, of constitution
alFty, of AmericaniSm.
