age OF the pending bill will end the
history of the Republic and open the
history of the empire" The Repub-
licans have called a caucus for the
purpose of whipping the Republican
opponents of the bill into line.
The fact should not be lost sight OF
that it was Republican objection that
knocked out the proposition to set a
day for the consideration of the Hep.
burn Nicaragua Canal bill by the
House. After asking Mr.. Hepburn
whether there was anything in the
bill recognizing the existence of the
Clayton-Bulw treaty and being as
sured that there was not, Representa-
tive Richardson, the Democratic
leader, stated that there was no objec-
ton on the Democratic side to setting
a time to take up the bill. Then
Representative Cannon objected, and
later, when another attempt was
made by Mr.. Hepburn, Representa-
tive Payne objected.
The Democratic Congressional Cam

work, having this week elected the
following officers: Chairman, Repre-
sentative James d. Richardson, of

An amusing feature of the debate in
the House on the Porto Rico Tariff
bill was the rather broad hint OF Rep
resentative Cromwell, Of Ohio, who
spoke against the bill but said he
would vote for it if the substitute pro-
viding for free trade was now carried
to Mr.. Mckinley to let the members
of his party in the House know
whether he had changed his mind
since he recommended, in his annual
message, free trade for Porto Rico.
He said it was the solemn duty of Mr..
Mckinley to notify Congress if he had
changed his mind on this question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1900.
The Democratic National Commit.
tee, which met in Washington this
week, to name the time and place for
holding the National Convention, did
not please everybody, but they came
about as near to it as any committee
ever did. In the very nature of
things such decisions must always
cause some personal disappointments,
but the rank and file are pleased with
both city and date, and better pleased
with the reports OF the members OF
the committee on the steadily increas-
ing brightness of Democratic pros
poets.
Democratic speeches against the
Porto Rico tariff bill have made it
clear that the Democratic construc.
ton of the Constitution as it applies,
or should apply to Porto Rico, is the
proper one, and is upheld by the con.
tentions of long hne of statesmen as
well as by decisions of the Supreme
Court. So many good speeches have
been made by Democrats that it seems
unjust to mention any particular one
without mentioning others, but the
following words of Representative
Swanson condenses what was said in

MOS LAW IN COLORADO.

That negro lynching at Pueblo yes
terday morning was a deplorable al
fair. 1t was a terrible crime this vic
tim Of mob vengeance had committed,
but so are all of the offenses for which
negroes are lynched.
Three victims of his murderOus as
sauIt, two of them. children, having
been criminaIly assaulted besides. was
enough TO arouse the Indignation and
awaken the vengeance of the Colorado
mob. But wherever they occur, whether
in Illinois or Alabama, Colorado or the
Carolinas, Iynchings are a disgrace to
civilization, and should not be coun-
tenanced.
This occurrence in Colorado, repe-
tition of what took place last year in
Ohio, in Kansas ard in other northern
and western states, shows that the
mob spirit is not a sectional matter,
that the same offo7ses meet the same
swift punishment almost anywhere and
everywhere. Human nature is pretty
-uch the same wherever it is found,
ely in some places it is more sorely
led than it is in others.

AMERICAN INTEREST.

London dispatches announce with
what excessive pleasure English Off
Gals and newspapers received the news
Of McKinley's snub of the Boer en-
VOWS.
The London Times assures its read
ers that the failure of the Boer repub-
lies to gain official recognition in the
United States is complete. The Stand
ard pats the president on the back and
says that America has not a shred of
concern i'm this South African quarrel.
which we intend to dispose of ourselves
without assistance from any outside
parties whatever"
And this was no doubt what England
said TO those European courts which. in
1875 and during the American revolu-
tion, turned down Benjamin Franklin.
John Adams and the other ENJOYS of
this embryonic republic, seeking friends
and sympathizers among the powers Of
the world. England intended to dispose
of her rebellious subjects here in Amer
lea even as she expects to dispose of
the freedom-loving burghers of the Al
rican republics. without assistance
from any outside parties whatever"
But the English press is mistaken if
it thinks the American public has not q
shred of concern in this South African
quarrel Every argument advanced bv
the American coIonists a century and a
quarter ago applies with equal force to
the cause of the Beers. Every appeal
the Americans made is echoed by these
Afrikanders. If justice was entitled tn
its demands in the one case it is in the
other. If it was principle for which our
f5refathers fought that principle is dear
today. This republic was established
as z beacon light TO other peoples striv-
5ng for seIf-gOvernment and national
independence.
The American people are quite as
mach interested in the sacred cause of
liberty today as they were when Presi-
dent Monroe in his message to congress
in 1923, said of another people making
a similar struggle for national exist
ence. a strong hope has been long
entertained. founded on their heroic
struggle, that they would succeed in
their contest and preserve their equal
station among the nations of the earth.
It is believed that the Whole civilized
world takes a deep interest in their vel
fare. Although ne pewer has declared
in their favor. yet none, according to
our information. has taken part against
them. Their cause and their name
have protected them from dangers

QUEEN. WIFE AND MOTHER.

This is the eighty-first anniversary
of the birth Of the venerable sovereign
of the British empire. From every
land where virtue is loved and woman
hood is honored there viii come trib-
utes of cohgratulation TO Victoria and
TO her realm. For sixty-three years
she has dignifed the English throne
with the noblest attributes of enlight-
ened womanho0d. She has little influ-
ence in affairs of government, no power
at all as an executive, being little more
than hgurehead on the ship OF state.
But her personal influence, her social
position. her clean, consistent charac-
ter have made her a potent force in the
development of her empire and the
government of her people.
As wife. mother and monarch she has
presented an example of honor. virtue,
piety, patience and intelligent woman
hood which has served as a constant
inspiration To- her subjects and to the
world Hel mOtherly tears over the
sacrifice of brave men in the Trans
wall, her wOmanly message of condol-
ence to Mrs. Joubert upon the death
Of the old general, show the heart Of
the queen. Her whole life has been
devoted to teaching the beauties of
peace, the follies of war. drawing ma
ti0ns closer togethe~ fo~-f--~
alliance in the brotherhood of human
ity.
The world has seen few such queenIy
women. It never saw d. more womanIy
queen.
