What sureraintY Ia.

In a speech delivered at Urbroath, Scotland, on September last, John Morley, the great liberal leader, said: And this brings me to the word suzer- ainty. It is said that we have suzer- airty over the South African republic. Sir Alfred Miner said there is nothing in this controversy as to whether We have suzerainty Or not-nothing ma terial My own view of suzerainty is that it is word which nobody of course can define, but it has got flavor of sovereignty in #, and yet it is not sovereignty and that the Boers hate the word because.it has got that favor in it, and the war party in the Cape and in other places like the word because they hope to impart into it something or another which may enable them un- der mask of sovereignty to do things which think they had better not do" IN.

COSTLY LITIGATION.

"Very expensive litigation is likely to result from this attempt of Kansas to compel Colorado to stop usiug water, and think when they get through with it, they will be just about where they are to-day. I cannot but think that if this expense conld be devoted to the continuation of the work upon which the government surveyors were. engaged some years ago, a definite knowledge would be obtained as to the possibilities of supplying both States with q water supply on business basis.
 If tbe foods Of the rivers flowing though these States were properly con Dyed in storage reservoirs there l would be euongh water to supply all the lands at present under irrigation, and to vastly increase the irrigated area, whereas now there is a scant and unreliable supply even for that land which is said to be under irrigation. <"
 How would a proper distribution of water between the two States be effected, if all the water possible should be stored?"
 it would necessarily have to be through some third disinterested party actiug as agent, and in whom both States would have cofdence. l believe that in a general interstate matter of this kind the federal govern ment is the most logical and natural party to decide and administer such a case eqnitably and satisfactorily. D
 A GREAT BBsTE OF MONEY.
 "There are other cases are there not, besides the Arkansas River which are likely to cause trouble and litiga- tion?'
 'Dozens. This is simply one of many. Litigation must necessarily ensue between Colorado and Ne brasxa, between Colorado and Wyom- ing; in fact until some general system such as have suggested is adopted, there will be lawsuits and controver- sies beween States whenever 8 river crosses from one State to another which will involve an aggregate cosf of enormous proportions, while tht outcome cannot in any sense be satis factory. Itappears to me to be very largely the old question of people who should be good neighbors, fighting over dividing fence and wasting time and money enough to build [ good bull-tight fence instead of get ting together in the beginning and co operating. If the irrigation interest; in question would couc together au( bend their efforts towards getting tn government to complete its hal : finished work of reservoir surveying in that section, then the matter woull be in such condition as to euable tn, parties in interest to proceed intelli gently on definite business basis.

FIGHTING FOR WATER.
Colorado and Kansas Irrigation Interests Clash-The Flow ofthe Arkansas River the Bone Of Con
 tention

After years Of threatening, the Sup reme Courto the United States is to be asked to decide the case of Kansas against Colorado in the matter of the diversions of the Arkansas River in the latter State. This river in Kansas flows through some thirteen counties, forming a valley of 2,500,000 acres, almost as rich as the valley of the Nile. The claim made is that Colorado has diverted so much of the water of the river as to seriously damage Kansas farmers.
 Commenting upon shis litigation tion beween the two states, Mr. F. Il. Newell, having charge of the irriga- tioa surveyiugs of the Geological Survey, made some interesting re- marks. "That trouble would sooner or later ensne," Mr, Newell said, "be- tween these two states over water rights, has been for long time evident to people familiar with the condition aff eeting them. number of years ago the Geological Survey undertook some important surveys of Colorado with view to determining the perennial water supply of it's rivers and it's capacity for water storage. The rivers heading in Colorado furnish vast water supply and the sites available for reservoiring the flood waters of these streams are very numerous. Our work enabled us to locate and survey 2 large number Of such sites, but there are hundreds of others, althrough right in the midst of the work of making these surveys, were cut off through lack of app propriation.

English methods are being used by
the Americans in the subjugation Of
the Filipinos. That fact was recently
shown by \. ]. Balfour in the British
parliament when defending Kitchen
er's policy Of determination in South
Africa. The Boston Post comments
on the matter as follows: "a people
stubborn in their patriotism cannot be
subjugated without cruelty. Great
Britain is used to it, and does not hes
itate. Kitchener, who butchered the
dervishes in Soudan, will not shrink
from applying a similar policy to the
recalcitrant Beers. But will the people
of the United States consent that the
parallel be maintained?" They GER
tainly will. for they no longer advo-
cate liberty for any people but them
selves. Those who deny liberty to
others are not worthy to be free. The
Americans have degenerated in recent
years. and the subsidized press of the
plutocracy no longer represents the
cause of liberty and humanity.

ARE THEY ALIENS OR CITIZENS

Two eases of great interest to all
Americans are being argued in the L.
S. Supreme Court, the decision of
which will settle the controversy as to
whether the inhabitants of Porto Rico
and the Philippines are subjects or cit
liens of the United States. and wheth-
or our newly-acquircd possessions are
Il part and parcel of this country or
only colonies or provinces which can
never be admitted into the Union.
The two cases in question have been
appealed to the Supreme Court by
American citizens.
The Goetz case is an appeal from a
decision affirming right to collect du-
ties OH a quantity of tobacco imported
from Porto Rico on June 6. 1899, into
the port of New York. This duty was
levied under the Dingley tariff. The
other case is an appeal from an at
tempt by the government to contiscate
fourteen diamonds brought into the
United States from the Philippines by

struggle for autonomy in Ireland has
been carried on for seven long cen
turtles, and in the end it will be
crowned with success. 1t took only
one hundred years to crush out the
spirit of Polish independence. The
land of Sobieski and Kosciuski is oblit-
Grated from the map of Europe. Ire
land, but half as large as Poland, has
detied the Anglo-Saxon for seven hun
dred years, and despite the most dras-
tic measures she has not been annexed
to England except on paper. She
stands today on the map as she did
when Strongbow invaded her shores,
and with the national flag in one hand
and the crucifiX of Catholicity in the
other She demands civil and religious
freedom as boldly as ever. Until they
are granted, the antipathy between
England and Ireland will not die out.

THE BoERs ARE TRIUMPHANT.

Tidings of great joy to all Boer
sympathisers and lovers of republican
institutions have been received in this
country from South Africa via Lon
don since going to press a week ago.
Dc Wet and his brave followers got

had Il narrow escape from being killed
with the members of his staff.
Kitchener Immediately requested the
government to send more cavalry. and
London received Il great shock ut the
unexpected turn of affairs. But more
bad news for the English came later.

Says the Chicago Tribune Surprise
is general among Roman Catholics,
and to an almost equal extent among
leaders in other religious bodies, over
the new stand taken by Archbishop
Ireland Of st. Paul upon the question
of the temporal power Of the Pope. 1t
is hardly six years since the Archbish-
op preached sermon in which he took
an almost equally strong position
against such papal power. Catholics
are delighted, not that they are much
interested in the question, but because
they believe the Archbishop's new po-
sition may bring him Cardinals pro-
motion, and nobody could receive Il
red hat and bring to the Catholic
heart of America quite so much joy as
the Archbishop of ST. Paul Other Cos
sip. perhaps ii little less friendly, is
ascribing this surrender to the ultra
montanes to pressure eNerted during
the Archbishop's late visit to Rome,
when it must be confessed he was
several times placed in positions where
he had either to surrender his former
opinions or make an open attack. If
the approaching consistory is post
poncd three months many Catholics
express the opinion that there will be
a Cardinal Ireland as we'll as a Cardi-
nal Chappelle.

A. NJ. Sullivan on Oct. II, 1877: II
an sorry to see a doctrine prevail with
two or three of the Home Rule men,
bers--a doctrine which would narrow
the liability from the nation to their
constituents. I impeach it as q dan
gerous doctrine, and fatal to the prin-
ciple of National unity and life (hear,
,hear). 1 impeach it as a doctrine
fatal to National strength and cohe-
siyeness. heard that doctrine preach
ed before in gloomy and disastrous
days, when voices were heard in 1852
and 1858 saying we are only account
able to Carlow
A Voice-And Athlone.
Mr.. Sullivan-'We are accountable
only to our constituencies Primarily,
I admit that, but we have accounta-
bility after that with the Irish Nation
(applause). 1 value the prize-a most
natural thing-the representation Of
gallant Louth; but would tell the peo-
pie of Louth tomorrow, if 1 found a
conflict between their sentiments and
those of the Irish Nation, that I would
bow to the Nation and retire from
Louth (applause).

The United States, with all it's civ

tries on the globe in the number of
homicides committed annually. Statis-
tics show that during the past decade
an average OF 10000 murders per an
mum have been committed in the land
of the stars and stripes. What rec
ord! And yet patriots of the Nc
Kinley school of politics want to ex-
tend American civilization to the be-
nighted races of the Orient by means
of Bible and beer, Calling and Krag-
Jorgenson. There is plenty for them
to do at home in the work of civiliza-
ton. If this be treason to Mark Hanna

as their ammunition lasted. The Boer
force attacking the hill was 1000

III. the hill was carried. Reinforce
ments of one company of the York
shires failed to reach the top. Gle
ments' retirement was carried out with
regularity, but, as many native driv-
ers bolted, considerable amount of
transportation was lost. All their
ammunition not taken was destroyed"
But worse and worse. The latest
news is that the Beers have crossed
the Orange river into Cape Colony and
are sweeping everything in their path.
The object Of the incursion is to rouse
the Africanders to take up arms
against the British and join their kith
and kin Of the South African Republic
and the Orange Free State, which the
British have been calling colonies"
for the past six months. If the Beers
succeed in creating an Instruction in
Cape Colony, then goodby to the Brit
ish army of invasion. 1t will be driven
bag and baggage out of the dark con-
tinent forever.
Lord Salisbury sees the handwriting
on the wall and speaks out in lugubri-
Gus tones. He must secretly curse
Chamberlain for bringing on the war
in the interest of Cecil Rhodes and the
London stock jobbers. The army is
demoralized and the navy can do moth
ing. Preparations for the reception of
Lord Roberts have been abandoned.
Instead of the war being over it is
only beginning on the part of the
Beers.
AS Mr.. Lloyd George said last week
in the British parliament, De Wet is
making England the laughing stock
of the world. With 100000 troops yet
in the field the British cannot defeat
small commands drawn from a pas
toral population. All true Americans
are glad of the predicament in which
the arch-robber of the nations finds
itself at the threshold of the twenti-
eth century.
