TWIN EDITORIALS, ,c3 YEARS APART

The Animus l. the e5ame-kicking AgainS
Progress, Hnd s-tting Up sh,n
Issue to U.ceive the American
People.
Last spring while the Roberts cast
was pending in congress, Hon. Charlie!
Lands, of Indiana, made a speeci
which attracted wide attention agains
permitting the polygamous member
from Utah from taking his seat. lr
reciting certain facts about the plura
wife, Mr. Lands referred to the Rob
erts' Twins" the records showing that
the would-be member was the father
of two children born only couple oi
three days apart.
Below will be found pair of twin
editorials from the Cincinnati En-
only more SO, as one is just &c years
older than the other. One of them was
written in September before the pres
idential election of 1864 and the other
WdS written III september VI lIe pre-
sent presidential campaign.
The reader will observe that the
sentiments of both are so nearly alike
that they could with propriety be call
ed Twin Editorials on Imperialism. y
The difference in the dates of their
creation, and the facts that one was
written about Lincoln, whom the En-
quirer and Mr.. Bryan pretend Just now
to delight to quote. and the other was
aimed at Mckinley, whom the En-
quirer and Mr. Bryan would now have
the people of the United States smite,
does not jar the harmony of the twin
ship. Rather the parallel only shows
that the cry of Empire" now is just
as hollow and deceptive as it was in
1864.
AS sort of side Issue 1t Is pro-
posed to have Mr.. Bryan or some
other Democrat solve the "missing
word puzzle" Any Bryanite who can
tell whether Lincoln's or Mcrtinley's
name should appear in the blank of
the first extract will be entitled to a
fine picture Of the next president.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-Abram s.
Hewitt. ex-mayor of New York and
son-in-law of the old philanthropist
Peter Cooper, made some striking ut
terances in describing the staggering
price for industrial prosperity as
proved in the condition of the poor
and the selfishness of the rich.
At a civic reform meeting in the pro-
cathedral on Stanton street he said:
1.-The rich haven't begun to do what
they ought to do. Have we the right
to take all this wealth and do moth
ing to correct the evils created in its
production? Good God! Can this be
the end to which we have been work
ing all this century? Is this the re-
suit of our industrial development and
must our prosperity as a nation be
purchased at such a staggering price? :?
If these terrible tenements. these over
crowded districts, these dark and foul
dwelling places, if all these miseries
must attend industry then l would to

GENERAL DE WET is GIVING THE
BRITISH ALL KINDS OF
NIGHTMARES.

LONDON. Dec. 2s-Gen. DeWet is
again ''bucking" the British line in
the neighborhood of Thaba N'Chu.
Lord Kitchener says that the Dutci,
raider hopes to break through to warn
the south. and this information causes
concern. for British military men fear
General DeWet's influence in Cape
Colony, should he reach there with his
brilliant little army.
Lord Kitchener reports that a cloud
of British commanders continue to
strive with the great fugitive fighter.
While almost universal attention is
being directed to the southern portion
of the theater of war General Botha is
said to be seeking untried opportuni-
ties for effective operations in the
TransvaaI. where the British garrisons
are kept in a high state of suspense
and are ever fearful of attack.
