The first problem of "empire" which
Mr.. Mckinley had to solve was how to
deal with the Filipinos. Result: An un.
necessary war that is still waging. The
first problem of "empire" presented to
congress was the Porto Rican tariff
question. Result: A policy of COM
mercial slavery for the Porto Rican that
makes them long for the "happy days"
of Spanish rule. So much so far for
the household of the republic.-New

The Press continues to assert its
sympathy for Great Britain in the
present struggle in South Africa, and
in 30 doing not alone misrepresents the
great majority of the people of this
country, but the heart and conscience Of
Great britain as well. 1t is the aristoc-
racy and the mob in England that is
responsible for this war. The men,
like Gladstone, who are credit to their
age, abhor the cowardly injustice of
their country's attack upon handful
of brave, Christian, home-loving people.
All talk about the misuse of the out
landers is manifestly trumped up.
Americans, Germans, French, and peo-
pie of nations other than Great Britain,
formed large percentage of the out.
lander population, and whoever heard
of complaints from any of them? Are
not the majority of them today fighting
in the Boer ranks to help save the indie
pendence of the Dutch republics2
Then, again, is it not libel upon q
people who have everywhere and at all
times tenderly and humanely cared for
their wounded enemies, to call them
narrow and despotic? The world has
never produced men of better fibre than
the Beers have proved themselves to be
during the past four months. 1t is the
whole English empire of 4OO,OO0,OO0 of
people against a mere handful. There
is not in hlstory's pages more heroic
record than this mere handful has made,
and if the christian world permits their
determination, the shame will remain
upon the christian world for gene
rations.
Winston Churchill, the great English
war correspondent, describes q sublime
and melancholy scene Witnessed by him
iathe Boer trenches, after one of the
recent battles. He saw the dead bodies
of soldiers of the republics men
with theirswhite hair and flowing white
boards; middle aged men; young men,
doubtless the fathers of young. families;
youths, just attaining their majority;
boys, mere children, with round cheeks
as smooth as girls, and with their little
arms clasping rifles as long as them
selves; finally, women, sharing in the
toll and privations, standing side by
side with husband or father in the
trenches, aiming the gun and speeding
the bullet with prayer for the preser-
walton of home and fatherland.
1t is a whole people, regardless of age
or sex, defending their homes, trying to
drive back the invader. 1t is an exhibit
tion of patriotism and bravery which
should enlist the sympathy of brave
men the world over, and this great sis.
ter republic, on the opposite shore of
the great ocean, should at the very
least, extend its sympathies.

Thanks to our advancing civilization

as his name itself in such a cline and
climate. and was in daily expectation
of an order home. Billy Gray, mending
only slowly, had been sent TO Corregi-
dor. where the bracing breezes of the
China sea drove their tonic forces
through his lungs and veins. and the
family rising hue of coming health
back into his hollow cheeks. The boy

told of causes little dreamed of in the
regiment-were either given to telling
the half of what he knew.

that the sad faced, kind old general VS.
tied the hospital at least half a dozen
patients could have told; for an at
tendant went running for one of the
women nurses, and the doctor himself
hurried to the scene. 1t was on his
| arm that, half an hour later, Mrs. Gar
riscn slowly descended the stairs, her
| fiimsy white veil down, and silently
| bowed her thanks and adieux as the
| doctor closed the door of her carriage
| and nodded to the little coachman. 1t
was the doctor who suggested to Col.
| Frost that Manila air was not conducive
to his wife's recovery, and recommend
ed Nagasaki as the place for her re-
cuperation until he could join her and
| take her home. The Esmerelda bore
| the White sisters over ongKong way
| within a week; and they left without
flourish of trumpet, with hardly the
| f1utter of handkerchief; for, since the
battle of the 5th of February, neither
| had been seen upon the Luneta. Their
women friends were very few; the men
they knew were mainly at the front.
| The story got out somehow that Garri-
| son had asked to be relieved from fur
| ther duty as aidde-camp and returned
| to duty with his regiment, and that
Drayton would not have it. The gen.
| erals manner toward that hardwork-

nights leave and urged his taking it,
and was obviously troubled when Gar

| that change of scene and air would not

City of Crime.

The Italian city of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome, is known an
the City of Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done Ais time
has emigrated to Artena, and to-day
practically every inhabitant is a Grim
inal or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into its own hands,
and it is reported not day passes with
out many murders being committed in
the streets. The Italian authorities
have now come to look upon Artena as
hopeless, and remark that it is far bet
ter that criminals should kill criminals
than that innocent persons should be
their victims. 1t is said that on one
occasion, when 23 murders had been
committed in that city in one day, the
fact was reported in one of the Italian
papers in the following terms: ''Since
our last issue GA hours before) there
have been 23 sudden deaths in Artena."
And no further notice of the murders
was taken or expected. - Cincinnati
Enquirer.
