Sneera Mt A,nerlca

London, Feb. 5.--Mr. Cunningham. Ora.
hame, former member Of parliament, in
quires in an open letter what Great Brit.
ain has gained "by all our squirmings and
grovelings before the United States" as
he defines Great Britain's good will, and
he thus answers:
"An open door. Yes. And booted foot
to kick us through it. 1t was ever the
sneaks reward to be thus treated"
He assumes the sympathy Of the United
States is with the Beers. England has
failed in receiving, not the sympathy, but
almost the neutrality Of the United States
and that is Great Britains reward for
having thrown over Spain, her ancient
ally, and coming magnanimously to the
assistance OF the United States.
The Standard among its death notices
today prints the following:
"McIachlan-On Christmas, shot in
Market square, Harrismith, Orange Free
State, for refusing to fight against his
own countrymen, John McIAchlan, Jr.,
aged 80, eldest son Of John McIAchlan
Of Wordsworth and grandson Of the late
John McIAchlan Of LAmbet."
The Spectator, commenting on the
above, says that il the statement con-
tanned in the notice is true the whole
English-speaking world should ring with
denunciation of crime so detestablc.
Especially" it adds, should Americans
speak out on such matter, for they
showed the true way in their treatment Of
technical rebels and set an example to
mankind"

MISSOURI.

Yes, there she stands: as firmly fixed as
famed Gibraltar's rock;
As true as steel in woe or veal, as steady a.
clock
While others from their moorings slipped
she held fast to the pier.
Election day she came our way and filed our
hearts with cheer.
With cheer she filed our dropping hearts
and bade us keep in view
That one old state, as sure as fate, to Jeffer-
son was true.
So FIJI your cups, ye Democrats, and add
your shouts to mine
I'm shouting for Missouri, for Missouri's
still in line.
From Barry up to Atchison, and down again
to Wayne;
From Gates to Cole, Lord bless my soul,
she's Democrat again!
From Jasper Ger to Jefferson, from Grundy
down to White,
Democracy and Dockery get everything in
sight.
If you will study the returns you'll readily
perceive
Democracy-well, Hully Gee!-bids us no
longer grieve.
She cheers our dropping spirits up like
draughts of richest vine
Missouri, bless her true old heart! Mis-
souri's still in line.

Our Foreign Markets.

1t is folly to say that Asia is our
great market. Look at the last fiscal
year. In round numbers, regarding
fractions of million, we sold to Eu-
rope 81 ,o50, 900. 900 worth OF goods, to
Asia $65, 100000 The Philippines took
50, $40, 449 worth. Besides we sold
$17 ,O00,O00 worth to North America,
$50 900, 900 to South America, $43,-
0O0, 900 to Oceanica and $19. 900, 600
to Africa. 1t thus appears that Europe
is our great customer. Commercial
treaties with European countries would
bring us more trade we can get by
force of arms in Asia. Cour-

THE NEW NAVY.
Progress Made I'm the Construction OF
Uncle Sans BattIeships, Pro-
tected Cruisers and Monitors.

Admiral Hichborn, chief of the bu-
reau of construction and repair, has
made public statement showing the
progress of the work on vessels now un-
der construction for the navy.
Of the big battleships, the Maine and
the Ohio stand respectively Gt SO and
30 per cent. of completion. The Mis-
souri,, at Newport News, stands Is per
cent, and the Illinois, also building at
Newport News, is set down at IS per
cent.
Work is progressing ST tisfactorily on
the six new sheated protected cruisers,
although they are all in the first stages
of construction. The monitors Arkan-
sas, Florida, Wyoming, and Monitor
No. (the latter as yet unnamed) are
each about half finished. The 16 tor
pedo boat deStroyers, as well as the
16 torpedo boats, are for the greater
part in the last stages of their con-
structioE. Of the submarine torpedo
boats the Plunger stands at SIS per
cent. and, of the remaining six. the
Adder, Moccasin, Porpoise and Shark,
are set down at six per cent, while
work has not yet begun on the Pike
and the Grampus.

Ministers as Apologists for Wars of

Dear Farrar is at much pains in

sity, yet in human history still con-
tinues to be at times necessary duty.
even for the most Christian nation and
is in no way a. conflict with the obliga-
tion by which every true Christian 10
eternally bound But the deans con-
clusion is stated ambiguously. What
does he mean by truth and right9 In
his estimation Christianity is surely
truth and right; his own particular
church organization must be .struth
and right TO him; and all his personal
convictions, are not they also s.truth
and right"p But still we cannot sup
pose that he would justify an aggres-
sive war for Christianity, or his church
organization. or his personal convic-
tions. Everybody except nonresistants
agrees with Dean Farrar about wars
waged for truth and right,n provided
the wars be waged in their defense.
But there is one objection even to wars
for defense which writer's like the dis
tinguished dean seldom consider. 1t
is to their being glori6ed. At the best
war Is indeed, terrible necessity;
yet this terrible necessity is exploited
by strenuous jingoes as a divine jollif-
cation, and men like Farrar often in
directly give countenance to these hui
man brutes. Let preachers stop apol-
ogizing for glorifiers of war, and the
..terrible necessity" for waging it will
seldom arise.-The Pubtic.

GETTING TO BE GOOD INDIANS.
Gen. Merriam Makes Encouraging
Report of the Progress Made
by the Apaches.

There were no Indian troubles in the
according to Gen. Merriam, and the
only difficulties between white men
and Indians were individual, arising
from cards and whisky. The white
men, says the general, were the aggres-
sors.
In the course of his annual report,
Gen. Merriam states the disposition of
his troops, and says:
1T viii be observed that nearly all
Of the posts are placed on or in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF large reservations.
The exceptions, Forts Douglas, d. A.
Russell and Logan, are at important
railroad centers, rendering their gar
risons quickly availa BILE for emergen-
cies in any direction
The general speaks with commenda-
ton of the excellent progress being
made toward civilization by the
Apaches under the management of
Capt. Nicholson, Seventh cavalry. He
says:
4 found them largely and success
fully engaged in agriculture, and saw
large numbers of men, as well as wom-
en-, at work in the fields, most unusual
for Indians. l was also told by rail
road officials that they could not en-
ploy better men for railroad labor than
these Apache Indians. In view of these
facts, and of the assurance by Capt
Nicholson of the absolute loyalty and
efficiency of his Indian police, rec
commended the withdrawal of all the
troops from San Carlos agency, instead
of repairing that post

Bungling Legislation.

Apparently the only laws passed by
legislators in these days which can
pass muster in the courts are those
drawn by the cunning hands of inter-
ested attorneys.
In 1895 the Missouri Legislature
passed an inheritance tax law. The
Supreme Court set it aside, not, as
was pointed out, because an inheritance
tax was unconstitutional, but because
the law contained provisions which
were unconstitutional. Another law
was passed In 1897 which is now before
the court and in all probability will
follow the first for the same reason.
In Iowa a constitutional amendment
adopted Nov. 6 was so blungingly
worded that the people will have to
deal with two sets of public officials in
most of the counties and townships of
the State, and expensive litigation is
in prospect. In Indiana a law was
passed in 1897 creating the Indiana
Reformatory. Now they are worder-
ing whether convicted murderers can
be legally hanged in the State. 1t was
not the intention of the Legislature TO
abolish capital punishment, but that
is thought to be the practical effect of
it.
Wouldn't it be good plan for the
people to incorporate and hire some
good lawyers to draft laws designed
TO- ,ha nnhlic welfarep-P Post Dispatch.

HOME FOR BACHELOR GIRLS.
Modern Building to Be Put Up in
London by United States
MiIIiOnaires.

The London Daily Express says a
syndicate of New York and Philadel-
phia millionaires. including Russell
Sage, James J. Hill. and Mrs Hetty
Green, is about to build great hotel
here for bachelor girls. The archi-
tect who has charge of the designs
has sailed for America and says he
has an option on property close to
where the new Yerkes underground
railroad will cross the present tube.
The building will be as high as the
law allows. 1t will be lighted with
electricity and heated by steam.
There will also be Turkish bath es-
tabhshment, and the charges viii be
very moderate. There will be suffi-
cient reception-rooms to allow of pri-
vate conferences with male relatives
and sweethearts. The promoters SIM
ply seek, so they say, a five per cent.
return on their investment.
