Government, however, will not change
its present plans for Chinese campaign

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT ssys "the
highest duty of civilization is to abolish
barbsrism." But, judged by the condi-
ton of the negroes of the South, and
that of the people of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Samoa and the Philippine Isl
ands, and that OF those in the parts Of
China Invaded by the "civilized" army,
none of them has been benefited by civ.
ilizstion, but, on the contrary, all have
been sadly injured by the execution Of
its highest duty" But some modern
American "heroes" take no heed Of

THAT President Mckinley doesD''
think the army he has sent to China
to conquer the people OF that country
is in the slightest danger, is made plain
by the fact that be hss again abandon

spend the rest OF his vacation, that was
80 rudely interrupted by the repulse
of his troops at Tientsin. Surely a

The Japanese and the Chinese and
the Koreans are all of the same race,
and blood is thicker than water. The
people, therefore, who imagine that in a
war Of any one OF these nations with an
alien and foreign white race, any Of
them will take the part of the latter
know little OF human nature. The
