THE KEY TO THE TRANsyAAL.

De]agoa Bay, on the east coast OF
Africa, is the one point OF the globe
more than any other upon which the
attention Of civilized nations has been
concentrated during the past two
weeks 1t is the key to the Transvaal,
ard England is contemplating the seiz-
urc OF it in violation OF international
law. 1t belongs to Portugal, nation
which, is too weak to defend its rights
against the British empire, unless
France, Russia or Germany may inter-
fcre in the matter. Lourenzo Marquee
is the port of entry and has the best
harbor in all OF South Africa. All re-
cruits and munitions of war for the
Transvaal pass through this town,
which is 200 miles from Pretoria and
800 from johannesburg by rail- Pas
sengei trains leave every morning and
evening for these cities.
AS long as the Beers can get sup
Flies OF war material and reinforce
nlents via Delagoa Bay, the English
will be at tremendous disadvantage,
whereas if it were suddenly closed to
the Beers they would be entirely Cit
off from the outside world, and the adj
vantage to England would be enor-
nous. The Portuguese territory lying
between Delagoa Bay and the Trans
vaal frontier is only forty miles wide.
The British and the Beers would make
this territory the scene OF carnage if
England gains possession of the bay
and occupies it with her men-of-war,
England would be within easy striking
distance OF Pretoria, and her ba(aed
troops in Natal and Cape Colony would
find ii less hazardous to reach Kruger's
capital than by continuing their present
plan OF campaign which has proved so
disastrous to British generals, officers
and men.
Such high-handed act as the seizure
OF Delagoa Bay by the imperial brig
and would compel the Transvaal to
withdraw its forces from Ladysn1ith,
Kimberley, Mafeking and other points
to defend the approach to Pretoria. The
cily thing that England is afraid of is
European intervention. A German
cruiser has already gone to Delagoa
Bay, and Russia and France are likely
to follow suit. The United States gov
erhlnent sympathizes with England.
and if it takes any action at all it will
be in the interest OF the mother coun-
try" The Republicans of Portugal are
opposed to British acquisition of the
bay by purchase and threaten the down
fall OF the monarchy if the Portuguese
government cedes the strategic posi-
ton to England for money. If Eng
land, by diplomacy or bulldozing, car
command the key to the Transvaal, TIL
Beers will ultimately be crushed OIL
and freedom once more will shrek ii
South Africa.

convince the peace agents Of the futility
OF their attempt to appeal to the ad-
ministration let them read the further
declaration that "the flag and the SOW
ereignty OF the United States are in the
Philippines to stay and no other flag
shall ever wave above the graves OF the
soldiers there who died to place it
where it is" Ii the peace agents do
not discern in this the voice OF the re-
morseless and pitiless conqueror, ii they
do not learn from it who means to make
prey OF the Philippines, they must be
far duller OF apprehension than Admiral
Dewey has represented them to be.
But let them not lose heart altogcth-
er. They may still hope that the Amer
lean people will rally to the standard
OF Lincoln, who said that no people. de-
served to be free or could long remain
free who did not recognize the equal
right OF others to be free.
The appeal Of the Filipinos lies not to
the administration OF William McKin-
ley, but to the country OF Abraham Lin

Drink and Divorce.

temperance leaders such as MGR.
Nugent have often asserted that the
passion for strong drink is accountable
for by far the greater number of crimes
and the judges and magistrates of the
criminal courts have again and again
borne out the statement A further
confirmation comes from the Divorce
Court. Mr.. Justice, Barnes, speaking
on the 9TH inst, at meeting of ROYAL
Courts of Justice Temperance Society
said he had eight years experience of
the Divorce Court, and he had come
to the conclusion that in the majority
OF the cases which came before him
drink was the cause OF the unhappiness.
In men intemperance led to the Divorce
Court, by producing brutality at home
and immortality, and in women the re-
suits were even worse. He had met
many cases of the most horrible demor-
alization i'll women produced by in
temperate habits. Often this demorali-
cation ended in street life. 1t was
shocking to notice how often the story
of petitioning husband included the
words, my wife took to habits of in
temperance We fear that this evil of
lntcmperance amongst women is in
creasing rather than decreasing. The
misery it entails is appalling, and it
behooves those who are responsible for
the morals of the people to fight against
it sternly Moral training is the reme-

what have out imperialist friends
who are now lauding Lawton to the

testimony of his? For our part, we do
not hesitate to say that the conquest Of

OF one such life as Lawton's, it is not
worth the cost of making one such
woman as Mrs. Lawton widow. Now
that General Lawton is dead, however,

A Voice from the Dead.

What is more solemn, what should be
more impressive, than voice from the
lonored dead? The principles near
and dear to the hearts of those whose
memories we sacredly cherish should
certainly create a profound impression
upon our minds, says Rev. DR.. Sample
in the Peoples Paper.
America is sad over the death Of
General Henry w. Lawton, and is
holding his memory sacred. The daily
press tells us that she died as he lived,
a true American, without fear, without
rancor and without reproach." A fund
is being raised wherewith to lift the
mortgage on his widows homestead.
This is noble purpose, and no doubt
will, as it should, succeed. Members
of all parties and all sects are uniting
to commemorate the life and death of
General Lawton.
Is this not good time to listen at
tentively to the voice of General Law
ton on the subject OF the Philippine
war? Can we possibly commemorate
him after better fashion than by let
ting his words on this subject sink deep
into our hearts?
Major General Henry w. Lawton
gave to the Rev. Peter MacQueen, who
was in the Philippines for year in
service with the army; the following
testimony concerning what he justly
called ''this accursed war;" Hear this
voice from the honored dead:
Among the Filipinos there are many
cultured people who would ornament
society anywhere in the world-ladies
who have studied and travelled, men
who have had a good education and a
fine brain. Take them as class, there
can as many Of them read and write as
the inhabitants in many places in Amer
lea. AS for their treaclery, you would
not have to come so far as this to find
that. There is plenty OF it in North
America. All nations are treacherous
more or less Some men and nations
have treachery trained out OF them
more than others. WHAT WE
WANT IS TO STOP THIS AC-
CURSED WAR. 1t is time for di-
plomacy, time for mutual understand
ings. These men are indomitable. AT
Bacoor bridge they waited till the
Americans brought their cannon to
within thirty-6ve yards OF their
trenches. Such men have the right to
be heard. All they want is little jus,

That Mr.. Keating's words carried
weight is evidenced by the fact that the
books were rejected without dissent
lne voice. The thanks OF the cosmo-
pol'tan people OF the great city are due
to the intrepid Irishman for the atti-
tude assumed by him. In future the
compllers and publishers Of school his
torres TOR adoption in the Chicago
schools will make them less English
and more American. OF late years, the
books have been evidently written bv
Anslcmaniacs, and young Americans
have been taught to believe that Eng
land is the mother country" and that
she is superior to every other nation on
cath. 1t is about time that American
boys and girls who are not OF Anglo
Saxon pedigree should learn something
about the history OF the European coun-
tries from which their parents or an
ccsiors came to the land OF Washing
ten and Jefferson. An effort has been
made in recent years to bring about a
Change OF sentiment towards England,
ard histories for the young have been
prepared to conceal the oppression OF
the thirteen original colonies by George
III. and his ministers. Very little space
is devoted to the war with England in
1877 which ended with the defeat of the
British at New Orleans by Andrew
Jackson in 1875 The sympathy of
England with the secessionists of '61-'65
is CLOSED over and little is told to
pupils about the payment OF the Ala
bama claims.
We have frequently referred in these
columns to the studied omission Of

The San Francisco Nation truly says:
II we had not such milk and water peo-
pie at the head OF affairs the British
government would be brought up with
round turn for selling American YES
sells on the high seas without justifable
cause. These vessels have been seized
for carrying flour and food stuffs to
Dclagoa bay. With equal right Eng
land could seize vessels going to Havre
or to Liverpool. Delagoa bay is as
much neutral point as San Francisco.
1t belongs to Portugal and the cargoes
were consigned to citizens OF Portugal.
Even had the vessels carried arms we
do not see how they could have been
taken. 1t is a clear outrage on this
country, and ii Blaine was secretary OF
state England would be made to
promptly pay heavy penalty and re-
lease the vessels or fight. Some OF the
officials in Washington are such toadies
to England, however, that they care not
whether our flag is insulted or not.
