We hear nothing nowadays from the
Republicans about "the pauper labor
of Europe" against which the McKin-
ley and Dingley tariffs were to protect
the American wage-earners. Neither
do we hear much from them about the
cheap labor of Asia since the railroad
corporations have been employing Japs
at eighty cents a day at section work.
The only argument to be used with the
worlsingmen this fall is that factories
will shut down if Bryan is elected. 1t
worked we'll in the 90 campaign.

THE BoERs' GUERILLA FIGHTING.

The irregular mode of warfare re-
Gently adopted by the Beers of Soutl,
Africa in attacking the British enemy
by small bands is striking terror into
the hearts of Roberts mercenary SOL
diers. Those who have read the bold
and successful achievements of Marion
and Sumpter during the Revolutionary
war when their daring men pounced on
the British camp when least expected,
or worried the army in its devastating
march, will have an adequate conception
of the work that can be accomplished
by small bodies of determined and lib
erty-loving burghers of the veldts. The
Beers may be scattered by the over
whelming forces of the British, but they
have no intention of giving up the fight
for freedom. 1t will take half of Rob-
erts' army to garrison the towns along
the railroad leading from Cape Town
to Pretoria, and to guard the railroad
from destruction.
The first onslaught by the Beers in
guerilla fashion took the British by sur
prise. The fourth battalion Of the Der
byshire regiment, numbering 600 men,
were all killed, wounded or made pris-
oners by the Beers on June 2 at Roode-
val, south of Kroonstad, in what the
British now call Orange River Colony.
The Beers also succeeded in tearing up
the railroad and shutting off Roberts
communication with the outer world.
At this writing it is reported from
London that Roberts has been heard
from after a weeks silence. It is also
said that Generals Methuen and Kit
chener defeated General De Wet last
Tuesday and scattered the Beers in all
directions, but there is nothing said of
capturing any of them. Roberts him
self is said to have engaged the Beers
under General Botha, fifteen miles
southeast of Pretoria. The fact that
Roberts retired and left Botha unde-
feated leads US to think he gained no
victory over the brave burghers. This
is what Roberts says in his dispatch:
"Botha held very strong position,
practically unassailable in front, which
enabled him to place the main portion
of his troops on his tanks, which he
knew from former experience were his
vulnerable parts.
II sent French with Porter's and
Dixon's brigades and Hutton's mount
ed infantry around by our left, and Ian
Hamilton, with Broadwood and Cor
don's cavalry brigade, Ridley's mount
ed infantry and Bruce Hamilton's in
fantry brigade round by our right Both
columns met with great opposition.
"At about 3 in the afternoon I saw
two of Hamilton's infantry battalions
advancing to what appeared to be the
key to the enemy's> defence on their left
flank. This was almost gained before

The Pioneer Press has repeated

The Pioneer Press has repeatedly
stated during the week that the Beers
held slaves in Cape Colony until they
were set free by the British in 1885
What if they held them? Slavery eS.
listed in the United States until it was
abolished in blood in the early sixties
1t was introduced into this country by
Sir John Hawkins, noble Anglo-Sax-
on, in the days OF the pilgrims. Does
not slavery now exist under the Ameri-
can flag in the Sulu islands? The Pho
neer Press cannot truthfully say that
the Beers have ever owned slaves in the
Transvaal or the Orange Free State.

Edmund H. Smalley, noted Chicago
lawyer, writes an open letter to Presi-
dent Mckinley, showing that it is with
in his province to declare officially that
the humiliation of the two Boer repub-
lies by Great Britain is contrary to the
law of nations. He quotes from author
tiles on international law to prove that
mere subjugation of the inhabitants of
a country, even in just war, does not
confer the right of conquest He de-
clares that the avowed intention of Lord
Salisbury to destroy the last shred of
independence in the two republics
should bring forth protest from the
president, as duty which he owes to
the American people. 1t is unnecessary
to say that Mckinley will take no notice
of Smalley's open letter in behalf OF
.Boer independence.

Henry Labouchere comes to the res

and says: "To such lengths is abuse of

against an American citizen who has
paid us the compliment of acquiring a
home in England and whose conduct
here is above reproach. A grosser
breach of the laws of hospitality is un-

The British troops exceeded 1000, of
whom IS officers and 1o1 rank and file

was almost twice that of the American,

THE SAD STATE OF IRELAND.

In recent letter to the Irish World
Rev. F. P. Kavanagh, the historian oil
90, said: ITO speak my mind, see no
hope for Ireland save in a foreign inva-
sion, which must take place whenever
England enters into war with a great
power; but who can tell when that may
happen? This Boer war having taught
her lesson, she will stoop to any hui
initiation to avoid it."
Respectfully, but strenuously, says
William O'Brien in. the Irish People,
we must dissent from any doctrine
which, if adopted, would leave the men
of country which is bleeding t.
death" hopelessly and helplessly wait
ing for England's humiliation at the
hands of great power. Inaction in
Ireland means despair, ruin, DEATH Bet
ter keep fighting, anyhow and somehow,
than sit still with leaden eyes fixed on
Germany, Russia, or France, while the
great gaping wounds grow wider, and
the life-blood wells out more freely, and
the Celtic race in ireland becomes a
corpse too poor and mean for even Il
place on the dissecting tables of philo-
sophers learnedly discussing the causes
OF the decay of nations.
Crust not for freedom to the Franks
They have king who buys and sells,
In native swords and native ranks
The only hope of courage dwells."
1t is i'll depending on the cowardly
selfish nations who allowed the gallant
South African republics to be sacrificed
without even the semblance of a pro-
test.
The land of Ireland is ours to win
the freedom of Ireland is ours to regain.
Frenchmen, or Russians, or Germans
can never save us if we are not minded
to save ourselves. An organized, united
and determined people, staying here at
home to fight this battle out with the
weapons ready to their hands, would
be the masters and owners of this island
long before there was any possibility of
sighting foreign warships or transports
from Cape Clear, or Cave Hill, or the
Head of Howth. We agree that it is
foolish to expect justice from England
If England is let alone. An ireland
idly waiting for Russian battleships
would trouble Dublin Castle or White
hall very little indeed. Such is the Ire
land, faction-torn, divided, bleeding to
DEATH" which 1rishmen whose policy
and methods Father Kavanagh hates,
would like to see, if they are to be
judged by their actions. The time is
swiftly coming when men will have to
decide for Ireland or against ireland
before the eyes of all the nation. And,
dear to our hearts as might be the news
that "The French are on the say" we
hope before many months have passed
to show to the world that Irishmen can
still strike blow for their own land
blow straight at the heart of their
enemy. Poor, oppressed, and bleeding
as our country may be, it still has
strength and courage left to work its
own redemption.
Thou art not conquered! Beauty's en-
sign yet
Is crimson on thy lips and on thy
cheek,
And Deaths pale flag is not advanced
there"
