The dispatches of yesterday tell Of
the National Tube trust welding the
ak with such vigorous effect that eight
hundred labOrers were chopped out Of
job. What the people would like to
see is a reversal of this state OF affairs.
Why not let congress use the ak a while
and cut down about eight hundred trust
combines. This would be vastly more
to the purpose and each blow Of the
sharp edged instrument would be ap-
plauded to the echo by the people.

PROS AND CONS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
VINE CROSS SWORDS ON THE
BOER WAR.

On the question of whether or not British inter-
ference in South African affairs was justihable
Andrew Devine and Thomas G. Shearman had a
debate last night before audience of hundred
and fifty men in the rooms of the Church Club of
the Diocese of Long Island Clinton and Fulton sts
Brooklyn Dr. Frances II. Miller, president of the
club, presided.
Mr. Devne who was once a reporter in Congress,
knew his subject well, and proceeded to sail into
England and defend 1.-The grand little republic
He said in part:
We ought to sympathize with the Beers in their
struggle because the history of their past relations
with the British in South Africa shows a long long
on the part of Great Britain. and the complaints int
break of hostilities show a predetermination on
her part to force President Kriiger into position
where he acting for his Government must either
commit suicide or practically agree to be killed
When Mr. Shearman arose to present the Eng
lish side of the question he was warmly applauded.
He fayed the Beers, acknowledged the sincerity
of their actions but contended that their cause
unjusthable and hopeless. Among other
things Mr. Shearman said
The Beers pious and sincere. They believe
that God has elected them for salvation. and de-
creed all Catholics Jews heather and unbelievers,
with most of the British and Americans, to ever
lasting damnation. They would pass first class
examination in an old school Presbyterian Assem-
bly, They logical Since outsiders are
to be damned Hereafter they justly argue that
this work of grace ought to begin now
It Is the sincerity of the Beers which makes
them dangerous They are fighting, not for their
own liberty, but for power restrict the liberty
of others. And all history shows that men will
fight even more desperately for domination than
On the other hand, Great Britain is struggling
to establish absolute equality of rights among all
men also. If the British win, as they will all
Europeans and Americans will have much right
in the Transvaal as any Englishman.
