THIS interesting, and to the reflect

going the rounds of the Missouri press:
Miss Eva Watkins of Carthage is the
recipient of a number of beautiful and
interesting presents from the Philip

10 the collection are a hand carved
turtoise she'll stick fan with hand en-
broidered silk work and ebony case; a
souvenir spoon with gold bowl and
silver handle, engraved in Japanese; a
silver filigree bracelet, silver and gold
laquer work tray, red silk table spread.
embroidered in gold with silk thread;
blue crepe shawl with silk fringe; a
white shawl embroidered in silk; a
native ivory comb, hand worked; a
silk handkerchief edged in Maltese
lace; three silk handkerchiefs, hand
embroidered; two wall panels made in
black material resembling camel's hair,
each decorated with the figure of a
man or woman.

desolated hearths. the bullet-bereaved

draped in that 'white shawl embroid-
cred in silk"? And the other form

Every one of these "presents" repre-

misery to some fair s.heathen," but
with Christians decorated in the insig-
mia of advanced civilization, so small
a consideration can not count. 'Tis
true Christ taught that no created be-

Mosaic dispensation, hoar with the

of Providence they were permitted to
prevail against their masters, who also

usurpation induces civilization. But
the latter-day patriot has outgrown the
heresy that then was successful, and it

THE following letter was written
the Colorado Silver Republican State
Central committee, and expresses the
sentiments common to a large body OF
Republicans who purpose supporting
the Democratic ticket:
WASHINGTON. d. c., April %.
Present my compliments to each
member of the committee. We should
not think of any alliance with the Re-
publican party, considering the former
position and action OF that party on
financial matters in the present Con-
gress. The resolutions should be
strong for our financial position, in
condemnation of the Republican par
tvs course on finance and favorable to
the fusion Of all silver forces on fair
and just terms, but on no other terms.
The financial question is as important
to-day as 1t was in 1896, and it will
certainly come TO the front this year.
Our duty to maintain our position now
Is more imperative than ever before,
for If we felt called upon to oppose
the Republican party In former times
because it threatened to adopt the gold
standard, we cannot afford to give it
direct or indirect aid or comfort now
that 1t has done what it threatened to
do. 81. M. TELLER.

liberty enunciated in. our own cher

BY a majority of nine, on a light
vote, the senate yesterday refused to
take up for consideration resolution
of sympathy with the Boer republics.
This is the first time in the history OF
our republic that either house of Con-
gress has refused to express the sym
psthy which Washington proclaimed
that he instinctively felt with all peo-
pie struggling for their freedom and
which our early statesmen took every
occasion to avow. To this shameful
qualification has our imperial night
mare driven us! The Great Republic
does not dare to express its sympathy
with little republics fighting bravely
against extinction. The Democratic
national platform will surely give the
people of this country an opportunity
to proclaim their sympathies in a voice
that will be heard around the world!

THE closing of twelve steel and wire

The closing of twelve steel and wire
mills controlled by the Steel Trust is
accounted for by over-production.
This is the official explanation. But,
perhaps, the ECONOMIES" have some
thing to do with it. The trust has a
monopoly and if the market can be
supplied without the twelve mills, they
must be closed. This means the en-
forced idleness of 1000 men, boys and
girls. Their suffering measures the
value to the trust of the economies
introduced by the trust idea. This
may be good thing for the trust ''mag-
nates," but it is difficult to see where
in the public is benefited. 1t is easy
to correct the over-production of steel,
but what about the over-production of

y
World has an undisguised contempt for
the ''ordinary people" who iced, clothe
and pay him. He as a rule regards
them only as the disagreeable means
to very desired end-his own ad-
vancement. Without cdnGille there
could be no nobility, aud the "mud-
stills" of society are necessary to the
dazzling fabric of tinsel, pomp and
blood which form the military super
structure. In this land of liberty
where every man is called sovereign
in his own right-the old-world idea
of military precedence has been slow
to obtain, but it IS obtaining just the
same. Take the Coeur d'Alene affair:
the nonchalance with which army Off
GERS high in rank admit their partici-
patton in the outrages against the SOW
ereignty of the citizen and the law for
his government, is as instructive as it
is startling. AS the witness before the
House committee on military affairs in
the inquiry into the Cpur d'Alenes
troubles, Brig. Gen. H. c. Merriam tes-
titled that as the commander of the
federal forces sent to Shoshone county,
Idaho, he had instituted martial law
of his own volition, before seeing
Governor Steunenberg, and before the
latter had declared martial law to ex-
ist. He further admitted under cross
examination nearly every charge made
by the miners. He acknowledged that
his troops had made wholesale arrests
without warrant or indictment, under
his instructions; that the soldiers had
care as to their guilt or innocence; that
the men were thrown into box cars or
the bull pen regardless of their condi-
tion; that he had directed his men TO
arrest all miners attempting TO leave
the county; that he had written the
clause in the labor permit proclama-
tion which made the miners swear that
they belonged to no labor organiza-
tions, and that he used United States
troops to enforce this system. The
paper from which we take this sum-
mary of the Generals testimony says:
1.-The witness was regarded with great
interest as he made his statements,
and large crowd was present all day."
No wonder that .'great interest" was
manifested. But if such actions as
above detailed are not sternly rebuked
and their recurrence made very hazard
Gus 10 the perpetrators, 1t will not be
long before wonder will give way to
precedent and precedent to settled rule.
Let no citizen think that encroachment
will of itself cease its advances, or that
he is beyond the reach of offence. If
a halt is not called and the setting tide
of militarism rolled back, the iron will
enter his soul sooner or later. '.Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"
