liberty they want. If you have any in
fuence lend your voice to the cause Of the
Beers. If you have no influence but have
convictions, speak your sentiments.
MR.. BAILEY VIGOROUS.
Representative Bailey, Of Texas, said
that he came merely to give his moral
support to the cause. His address was a
vigorous one, and he was loudly applaud
ed. He said:
l am sick of hearing about our broth
ers across the sea. England is brutal.
She has hunted the Irish down and shot
them in a brutal manner among the boys
and fens of Ireland. 1t is not merely
English greed or gold or desire for wealth
that urges England on during this war.
She finds an opportunity to blot republic
from the map of the world and she does
not hesitate to do 1t. blush to see there
this crime perpetrated. But they hope in
vain.
QUESTION OF DEBT.
Senator William V. Allen. of Nebraska,
in vigorous address, said:
II there Is in any country on the face
nothing that country Is the United States
OF America England seeks to rule all
people for mercenary ends. There is not
lofty motive about her policy. Wherev-
commerce into that locality she carries
her arms. Whether 1t be fertile fields or
diamonds or gold, the same greed for gain
has actuated her conquests. l am not a
believer in non-intervention when liberty
Is at stake. I would not only intervene
with sympathy loudly and forcibly eX-
pressed, but l would intervene with every
lawful means in my power. / hope and
believe that the God of justice viii in time
see that the British empire is overthrown
and a republic established in It's place
l hope that the fate which is meted
out to her will be the reward of any ma
ton which seeks to deprive and Cypress
people of their liberties, whether it be in
the plains of South Africa or the islands
of the sea.
A man cannot believe in the justice = of
the cause of the Beers and at the same
time uphold our government course in
the Philippines. The American flag will
form of liberty. We will not even recog-
nize the representative of the Beers, a
sister republic, although we have sent a
consul to Pretoria Is there any subtle
influence at work in high circles to pre-
vent the Transvaal from obtaining recog-
milton in this country? close with the
hope that the next cablegram from across
the water will bring news of Buffers de-
feat.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The American people still
cherish the lessons and memories of 1776
and therefore fully understand and realize
the rapacious war which Great Britain is
Wag1ng against small but patriotic peo-
pie whose misfortune is the possession
of natural wealth coveted by British
greed
Whereas, In the prosecution of this rob-
Der warfare, Great Britain has been balk-
ed as yet Of her tyranhous designs, and
has therefore resorted to unlawful and
barbarous war tactics, as is her wont, to
wit:
First-The arming and modifying Of
savages.
Second-The distribution of dum-dum
bullets to her soldiery, coupled with the
boast that the British government posses
ses of 100, 000, 600 such missiles
Third-The illegal seizure of peaceful
merchandise, en- route from the neutral
Portuguese markets.
Whereas. The president of the United
States has not taken proper notice of
these outrages, making 1t necessary for
the people at large to express their will
through public assemblages and serious
warnings;
Therefore, The citizens Of the American
capital, in mass meeting assembled, have
Resolved, That the people of the Orange
Free State and the South African republic
are, and of right ought to be, free and
Independent, and their civilization is rec
Ognized to be equal in morality to that of
any other people, the false witness Of the
standing. Therefore the precipitation
upon them of savage foes in alliance with
trained soldiery threatens the repetition
of the horrors Of Wyoming, Fort Dear
born and other places, bitterly remember
ed by the American people as ruthless in
stances Of British perfidy and dishonor
The attention of the president Of the
United States is respectfully directed to
of common repute throughout the world.
Resolved, That this meeting, in concert
with the American people throughout the
land, sends its sympathy and good will
