Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-03-16

THE contest between England and
the harmless Beers of South Af-
RIGA has woven itself into American
politics, not alone because the Ameri-
can people naturally sympsfhize with
the Republics of S,uth Africa but be-
cause the government at Washington
has, ny it's silence, permitted tn go un-
contrsdIcred the statements of Joseph
Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary of
Great Britain, 10 the effect that the
Amer1csn Republic sanctions Britaln's
course in the Transvaal.
This cOpducI on the part Of the Wash
ington authorities marks a distinct de-
parture from the settled principles of
American diplomacy. The authorities
of this country have taken a stand with
the oppressnr and against the oppressed,
contrary to all precedent since the draft
ing of the Declaration of Independence
and the adoption of our constitution.
With this statement of Joseph Cham
berlaln, 1t has gone out TO the world
that partnership has been formed be-
tween the governments at Washington
and st. James. and our administration
has been inclined to humor that i'm
preston. 1t has taken firm stand in
support of he British and against the
Dutch of the Transvasl Republic.

Englanc's standing army. They who
have rescued that Southland from saw
8gery, developed it, established schools
and built churches, are now being shot
down because they are barriers to civ
lliZatinn, This is the claim of Great
Britain aud our President has permitted
the World to understand that the
American Republic believes such van
dalism to be justice.
What! Shoot down those bonrst, in
dustrious and frugal husbandmen for
the sake If advancing civilization?
Brothers OF our fathers who shook off
the yoke of tyranny and wrought out
their own destiny! Brothers of our
fathers who only needed freedom to
develop the grandest institutions
the world has ever known! Shoot
down such as these In the inter-
est Of civilization? AS well inject
poison into the human sys EN- In the
hope of strengthening the body. We
do not believe that our republican pres
ident considers these struggling Beers
as barriers to civilization, notwithstsnd-
ing the fact that this excuse is sent out
as an apology for his dereliction of
duty. Statesmen, having such opinions,
need but review the wonderful develop
meDt Of the Germans and the Holland
ers in this country, since unrestrained
by pernicious laws, to be convinced OF
the falsity of the claim set up by the
oppressor nation and those in sympa-
thy with it.
No; the administration is not with
gliding Its sympathy from the Beers
because it believes them a hindrance to
the growth of civilization. Not that.
1t is because of tscit understanding
with Great Britain. But for such an
agreement Joseph Chamberlain would
never have dared proclaim in the Brit
ish Parliament that the q american Re-
public stood back of that empire with
its moral support. Had there been no
such understanding, the President
would have coDtradlcted the vilainOus
Islander within dozen hours after it
was uttered. 1t is simply q case of mu-
;ual protection, while each nation is
pursuing it's war of conquest. For the
sake of expansion, we are forced to
turn our backs upon the Declaration of
Independence and to deny the rights
which we claim for ourselves to the
subjects of Republic similar to our
own in the South of Africa.

To Acquire A Good Vocabulary.

"a good vocabulary is acquired by
reading good books. as well as by
hearing the talk ofthose who express
themselves in the speech of educated
people" writes Margaret Z. Sang
ster, in the September Ladies' Home
Journal. Thought lies back OF
speech, and the more subjects inter-
est Us the more command OF IAN
guage we shall have in which to de-
scribe them. They who read scien-
tific books will have grasp ofscien.
tifc terms. They who discriminate
nicely and use the very best word to
say what they have in their minds
will consult a dictionary and see
what are the similarities or the con-
trasts of certain words; will choose,
as among geTs, the fiawless ruby or
crystal will not be satisfied except
with the exact word which can ex-
press precisely the meaning they
wish to convey. The reading ofgood
authors lifts our vocabulary from
meanness and meagerness to nobili-

The State Historical library has re.
ceived an addition to it's collection OF
souvenirs Of the campaign in the

highly; says the Helena Independent.
The gift is the little cabinet organ
which Rev. George g. Stull. Of Bill.

was used at all services in camp, gar.
rison and Oh board the transport bear
ing the regiment across the Pacific.
On the return of the volunteers,
Chaplain Stull promised to send the
organ to the historical society rooms.
With other baggage of the regiment, it
was taken to Butte, but it seemed to
disappear there. Recently, Mrs. Laura
+, Howey, librarian of the society, at
the suggestion of Rev. Mr.. Stull, had a

that it was found stored away in the
Central freight depot in this

DOL MARKET u l.
But Confidence Is Felt in the Future.
Good Prices Expected.

But Confidence Is Felt in the Future
Good Prices Expected.
The American Wool and Cotton Re.
porter Of February %, gives the wool
situation as follows:
The wool market is very dull. Man.
ufacturers are too busy in attending to
the details connected with the orders
which they have received, in journey
ing between their mills and New York,
and some Of them in getting started on
tl'eir Lightweight samples. to pay much
attention to wool. They are generally
well stocked with wool. They are
therefore practically out of the market,
and it would not surprise the trade if
they should remain out Of it for some
little time to come. What demand
there is continues to be mostly for NJ
blood stock, both washed and IN
washed. with a slightly better inquiry
for 3-blood. Fine woods are in very
limited demand.
Prices Of wool except on stock grad
ing a and 3s.blood and below. are
easy, and it is possible to buy wool on
terms more favorable to the purchaser
than formerly. There is no general
break in the market, but there is GER
tainly more pressure to sell. The
seller is seeking the buyer, instead of
tho latter seeking the former, and as is
usually the case in such a condition of
affairs. the seller is more disposed to
grant concessions. What weakness
there is in the market is especially
noticeable in secured woods and fine
and fine medium territories. 1t is
d ficult to get over 6Oc. today for a
clothing territory wool, unless it is
very fine or runs pretty we'll to staple.
and some Of the woods are reported to
be offered at that price without any
takers. This is probably because con.
do not need the woods. 1t is
thought, however, that in the course of
so days they will need them, and by
the end of that time many members of
the trade are looking for q decidedly
improved business and a stiffening in
prices. The confidence felt in the tn.
ture is reflected in some purchases Mt
very good prices in Arizona, where
woods have taken at prices ranging
from ID to 16 cents, which last year
have been secured for 10 Ger b.,
and in contracts for wool On the sleeps
back in Idaho at 30 cents, People who
the latter woods state positively
they cannot be landed here for
than 70 cents, clean. For some
Arizona woods ever as high as IS cents
Ia said to have been bid. 1t is evident
that some one ia destined to get hurt an
the result of these early purchases unless
the'market at the seaboard advances to
a materially higher level, Wool grow. !
ers in the interior are still very stiff in
their views, however, The Wyoming
growers are expecting a3@a6 cents per
pound for their wool, and the Montana
growers IN many cases will not take
than 30 cents, 8
Much depends, of course, upon the T.,
tendency OF the goods market aud the !
OF affairs abroad, ,
