HERE in Montgomery county people think it
is cheap travelling when they can get half-tare

And so it is, as compared with the regular rates,

profits for their stock holders. But, how is it
compared with a country where the roads are

of the people? In Switzerland, for instance,
YOU can buy fifteen day ticket for SO, and ride
all over the country, back and forth, any where
you please, for two weeks for very little more

The Philadelphia Call estimates that $4,000
visitors remained in Philadelphia during con-
vention week, besides those who came in and
went out each day, put down at 10000. In
estimating the amount of money left in the
Quaker City, the Call says:
The daily average OF visitors to the city cas-
lily reached $50, ,ooo These came onrailroads.
steamers and suburban trolley lin es from the
surrounding country and hear by cities Thou
sands of people ceme from New York, all of
the towns and cities of New Jersey, of Della
ware, of Maryland, of West Pennsylvania, and
even OF Washington, on one-day excursions
So, including these visitors, the city entertain
ed 100000 strangers every day during the week.
This naturally caused the exchange of good
COIN. Hotels are richer by several thousand
dollars now that the convention is over. The
receipt of one hotel from rooms, the restaurants
and two bars was between SIC 900 and SIS, 900
day for five days. The receipts for five days
preceding the gathering of the clans were over
$4,000 day, so that the total for one iS.1l can
safely be placed at 500, 900, Four other ho-
tells took i'll SIS 900 each; ten smaller ones,
$4,000 each, and twenty others, $4,000 each.
Thus, the receipts of IS hotels aggregated
81, 900, 900 i'll less than one week.
Altogether, 4I2 boarding houses were thrown
open for the convenience of visitors. The re-
ceipts CT these houses average at least 500 each
day for five days, $4,000.
But by far the greatest number of visitors
were those who came in the morning and re-
turned home IN the evening. More or less,
they all bought at least two meals in the city,
and placing the numbers at I5o, 900 day, and
the average cost of meal at so cents, the res
taurants and lunch rooms reaped harvest of
$I5o,ooo day, or $3.50, 900 tor the week.
Chairman Manley, of the national executive
committee, said that the expenses of the ma
tional committee for the week amounted to
$4,000, exclusive of carriage hire. This
amount included rent for the national head
quarters, which came to 5000 day, and hotel
bills for members of the committee. The ex-
penses of the various state delegations came to
big sum. Each of the forty-fve states and
territories maintained separate headquarters.
Some cost S4oo to $500 day, but the average
would be about 5000. They were open tor
week, at a total cost of 5000. The money
spent by candidates and their friends for but
tons, banners, bunting and general decorations
ran into the tens of thousands.
The greatest expense incurred by one man
during the convention came to over 81, 900
day. Timothy L. Woodruff, the candidate for
president, paid these bills, and he has the
distinction of being the only individual who
spent so much money.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

There is not Christian nation on earth, and
if there is one in Heaven, it is not made up of
earth's rulers.
But, to return to the subject
If Russia had been sincere, or England, or
the United States, China would not now be III
the throes of a terrible war; the end of which
is dismemberment.
England would rather have helped the Beers
to build up a great republic, in which there
would be happiness for the masses, and the
United States would have been the giant friend
of people who, while less civilized are
worthy of better things than to become the
subjects of any nation--not even Uncle Sam.
A man may guess at what has been by what
is. In the light of what has followed was the
Hague conference not an assembly in the inter
est of benevolent assinllators." In few
words: If the worlds bullies differ, there will
be arbitration, unless one bully is satisfied that
he can whip the other. No arbitration for tine
weak and defenseless, but spoliation and divis-
ion. 1t was agreed that the United States was
TO have the Philippine islands; England, South
Africa, and the other nations, China. Hands
off all round, provided each nation accepts her
allotted share.
Is 1t not true that the worlds rulers are still
athirst for the blood of the toiling millions of
wretched humanity?
1t will not do to answer that the masses are
better off than in the past. That is not the
question. Are the masses as we'll off as they
ought to be, and as they have right to be?
Most certainly not.
If the men who rule the world had the love
of God in their hearts, the peace conference
would have meant something The money
expended in armies and wars would have been
used to send teachers to the Chinese, Flipinos
and Boers-not only teachers of religion, but
teachers of arts and sciences.
If the Hague conference had been composed
of true men, and backed by the governments
that created the assembly, Africa, China and
the Philippines might, even now, have been on
the highway to grand and humane civiliza-
ton, instead of being thrust to lower depths OF
degradation and misery by hostile armies of the
worlds civilized freebooters.
No more hypocrisy for me. The Goths and
Vandals were heroic figures beside the modern
''benevoent assimilators."
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-07-06
HypOcriteS.

thank the Lord every once in while that
there has been but one worlds peace conference.
If there had been two peace conferences, the
world would have been drenched with blood.
Before the peace conference, the nations were
behaving themselves fairly we'll for our advanced
and Christian civilization. After the Hague
assembly, "bencvolent assimilation" became
rampant. Hanna made war on the Filipnos.
(I say Hanna, because he seems to be the whole
thing) England assailed the Beers in bloody,
relentless war. Russia, France and Germany
waited for plctext to slice up China. And
so, there more cruel, unprovoked wars on
hand now, and within a year of the Hague
conference, than at any one time within the
last century.
All this might have been expected if we had
studied the inside character of the worlds
rulers. The Car of Russia may be little
more amiabe than his predecessors, but Russia
has not changed. How can Russia change un'
der one-man despotisn? Can leopard
change his spots?
The emperor of Germany is known as "the
war lord" and, as such, is hostile to the faint
est breath of liberty and happiness for the
masses.
France is republic in name only.
England has been "benevoent assimilator"
of the hog character.
All those nations have hoped and labored for
the overthrow of American institutions. The
overthrow is now being accomplished through
the servile tools of the worlds money power.
Armies, foreign conquests and taxation are the
potent means through which to reach the en-
thronement of the few over the many. The
iron hand of the military and dissimulation
rule Europe. In America, Aattery and dissim-
ulation have answered, so far, but later on, the
Amy will crush possible protest; and whether
we remain republic in name, as France, or
call Rockefeller to throne, the results will
be just the same,
In the light of what followed the peace con-
ference should we not blush for shame, and
should not our blood boil with Indignation? 2
shame because of the hypocrisy, and indigna-
ton because of the cruel and unjust wars that
are now being prosecuted by the men.wbo, with

ACT FOR TRUTH.
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The busy world shoves angry aside
The man who stands with arms akmbo set,
Until occasion tells him what to do;
And he who waits to have his task mark'd out
Shall die and leave his errand unfulfilld.
Our time is one that calls for earnest deeds;
Reason and Government like two broad seas,
Yearn for each other with outsreched arms
Across this narrow isthmus of the throne,
And roll their white serf higher every day.
One age moves onward and the next builds up
Cities and gorgeous palaces, where stood
The rude log huts Of those who tanned the wild
Rearing from out the forests they had felld
The goodly framework Of fairer state
The builders trowel and the settlers
Are seldom welded by the self-same hand;
Ours is the harder task, yet not the less
Shall we receive the blessings for our toll
From the choice spirits of the after-time.
The field lies wide before us, where to reap
The easy harvest Of deathless name,
Though with no better sickes than our swords
NV soul is not palace Of the past,
Where outworn creeds. like Romes gray senate quake
Hearing afar the vandal's trumpet hoarse,
That shakes old systems with thunder-fit-
The time is ripe, and rotten-rpe for change;
Then let it come: have no dread of what
Is cal'd for by the instinct Of mankind;
Nor think that Gods world will fall apart
Because we tear a parchment more or less.
Truth is eternal, but her effluence,
With endless change, is fitted to the hour:
Her mirror is turned forw'rd, to reflect
The promise of the future, not the past.
He who would win the name Of wholly great
Must understand his own age and the next
And make the present ready to fulfil
Its prophecy and with the future merge
Gently and peacefully, as wave with wave.
The future works out great mems destines;
The present is enough for common souls,
Who, never looking forward, are indeed
Mere clay wherein the footprints Of their age
Are petrified forever better those
Who lead the blind old giant by the hand
From out the painless desert where he gropes,
And set him onward in his darksome way
do not fear to follow out the truth,
Albeit along the precpices edge
Let us speak plain: there is more force in names
Than most men dream Of and lie may keep
, .,- = ,,oIa ,oa lonoar n ck,,Ik
Behind the shield Of some fair-seeming name
Let us all call tyrants tyrants and maintain
That only freedom comes by grace Of God,
And all that comes not by His grace must fall;
For men in earnest have no time to waste
In patching fig-leayes for the naked truth

SECRETARY HAYS MASTBRLY DIPLOMACY
Revealed In the Firm Manner In Which He
RepeIed the Insincere Advances
Of the Willy Ii Hung

WASHING TON, August 2.-The state
department today made public some
recent Chinese correspondence. L
Hung Chang suggested that the minis.
ters would b, safely escorted to Tier
Tsin provided the powers would not
march On Pekin. Hay declined any
agreement without first having free
communication with Conger.
Il Hung Chang then wished to know
If free communication we're given be-
tween the minister and their govern
m snts, If the powers would agree rot
to march on Pekin, pending negotia-
tions.
To this inquiry the following reply
was sent on the 1st of August:
"Good now, Consul General, Shang-
hal: 1 do not think 1t expsdieut to
submit the proposition of Earl Ii to
the other powers. Free com m unica-
tion with our representative in Pekln

Chinese government admits that 1t
possesses the power to give such COM
municstion, it puts itself in an un-

"Negotistions seem insd visable ur-
