BRITISH FOOD SEIZURES NOT NEW
The recent seizures by Great Britain
Of food stuffs belonging to American
citizens, shipped to neutral ports in
neutral vessels, has a near parallel in
the early history Of the United States
In 1893 France and England we're at
war. George Washington was then
president, and, although the memory
Of the timely aid rendered in the Rev
olu5ionary war by France was still
fresh in mind, he established and main
tanned the policy of neutrality in the
face Of tremendous popular opposition
and indignation.
France opened to free trade all the
ports Of her West Indian possessions to
neutral vesshls. England seized our
ships which simply carried food stuffs
to French ports, and, later on the high
seas searched our ships and seized and
impressed American seamen into her
navy. These vexatiOus and highland
ed measures resulted, about 20 years
later, in the war Of 1872. During this
time the following were the cOnten-
tons on each side in the seizure cases
Great Britain held that she might
seize any kind Of food going to a
French port in our ships. We held
that only military stores might be
seized.
Great Britain held that when a port
had been declared blockaded, a ship
bo1nd to that port might be seized
even on the high seas. We held that
no port was blOckaded unless there
was a feet actually stationed at it to
prevent ships from entering OF leaving
it.
Great Britain held that our ships
might be captured If they had French
goods on board. We held that Stree
ships made free goods" and that our
ships were not subject to capture, no
matter whose goods they had on board.
Great Britain in 1T56, had adopted
a rule that no neutral should have q
trade in time Of war that she did not
have in time Of peace.
England depends on the outside
world for bread, and especially on the
United States. Her course in the IN
warranted seizure of American -four,
although she may pay for the same,
is policy that may return to plague
the inventor.

In some Of the reviews Of the great
speech Of Senator BeFeridge, even In
the most laUdatOry, it is allowed that
the Indiana young man is "egOtistic
and cOnceited," but they say genius
justi6es these faults Of character"
Well, Lucifer was a brilliant angel
"eOneeited, eloquent, ETC., but he was
hurled headlOng from the battlements
Of heaven and was several days falling
TO the lowest he'll. And when he got
there he walked the glowing pavement
Of the inferno with blistered feet, and,
according to Milton, rallied his com
paniOns in rebellion and misery, say
ing: ITO rule is worth ambition though
In hell; better to rule in hell than serve
in heaven" This is the administration
Philippine policy in a nut shell.

The senator looked at her keenly,
and she slowly, very slowly, turned a
bright red under his gaze. as that sop
he remarked, and she answered, def
antly: Eyes, that's it"
perhaps" said the senator, ''I-ah-
don't want to intrude, but perhaps, if
Mr.. Miller should get this position, you
might-you and he might"
'Yes," she helped him out, ''we
should"
The senator hesitated. She sat still
and looked at him, and he noticed again
that she was holding her lips together
to keep them from quivering. He tur-
ned to his desk abruptly. "Did Miller
send you here?" he demanded. He
caught bit of the look she gave him
then; and it sent a chill up and down
his spine-the sturdy backbone he was
so proud of. IL beg your pardon, .
he muttered. "Of course not" He
wrote on a slip of paper and hand
ed it to her. There" he said. She
got up and took it with shining eyes,
and then she came nearer and nearer.
II think I should LIKE know I
should like" she breathed, ''to kiss
you
aTm so busy to-day" began the sen
atOr. Then he had the grace to blush.
She came a little nearer still, and the
senator reflected that after all he was
an unmarried man. She was at his
side, and he gave a swift but sneaking
glance around Then he stopped
When she was gone, after a brilliant
moment, the senator resumed his seat.
"I remember that man Miller" he
grumbIed- He had no gumptiOn at
all. Wade would be a much better
man. Still, and the senator smiled
grimly. Then he picked up his half
written letter and read it over:
Dear SRI regret II is necessary for me again
to assure my constituents that do not allow
my vote TO be Influenced IN any way other than
By considerations for the good Of the state"
He frowned at 1t, then he smiled at
it Then he tore it up and wrote:

that shall vote against the bill

the bIotter, athat is the safe way to put

CONFESSIONAL.

Lord God, whom we besought 50 late,
ThOuwOuldst not suffer Us forget
Thy Name and our weak human state
Have patience, Lord, little yet
To-day no pOmp Of empire Ills
The wintry land; amazed and awed
We watch Thy slowly grinding Mills
Mets out to Us our Just reward.
To-day, BY fosman sore beset,
Dismayed we draw our destined Lot.
We prayed to Thee Lest we forget,
And even as we prayed, forgot.
With foolish, rash, vainglorious words
And sorry self suficiency
We boosted, girding on our swords,
As those who laid their armour By.
Wherefore the curse upon rs lies
Of warriors all unready found
OF braggarts blinded 70 despise
Their foe before the trumpets sound.
HumBly we call upon Thy Name,
Ere sounds once more the grim assault,
We do confess, 0 Lord, with shame,
Our fault, our very grieviOus fault.
Give back our fathers stern disdain
OF idle brag and empty boast,
SO shall we stand erect again
And face unmoved the hostile host.

Back in 1883 Mr.. William Mckinley,
then a member of the house of repre-
sentatives, attacked the then secretary
Of the treasury, Mr.. Fa1rchild, for hav-
ing distributed among the banks with
out interest fully 100000 Of surplus
money, that, as he put it, sought TO be
in the treasury" and charged, with
particular eIOquence and indignation
that the president Of the United
States and his administration were
solely responsible for the cOnRested
condition Of the treasury and the
alarm that existed about the currency
situation
So indignant, indeed, was Congress
man Mckinley concerning this outrage
that in the republican convention Of
1888 he, as chairman Of the committee
On resolutions, saw that into the plat
form was put a denuncistion Of the
democratic policy of loaning the gov
ernment's money without interest to
pet banks
It is estimated that before the dis
tribution Of money to banks now be
gun is completed there will be $4,000
OOOthus deposited in pet banks without
interest, which they viii loan out at
from 6 to 10 per cent. This is the
policy which the successful Mckinley
adopts, and is exactly the policy which
the Mckinley struggling upward tow
ard eminence denounced in 1S6S.-

The fire which destroyed the Edison
electric plant in New York last week
brought out a fact which, although not
new, IS not generally known. The
building is practically an electrical re-
servOir. When the blaze started the
chief electrician saw the danger that
would be encountered by the fremen
if an attempt was made to throw a
stream Of water into the structure the
result would be death to the iremen
holding the nozzle. When the fremen
arrived on the scene he warned them
not to throw any water on the fire, and
they could do nothing but stand by
and watch the building burn. That an
electrical current viii follow a stream
OF water under such circumstances is
something which fremen viii do well
to bear in mind.

true to the letter, are a pertinent com

that this country had a right, and a

1t IS interesting as well as instruc-
tive to learn how others see US. It has
all along been affirmed by the OppOsi-
ton to the present administration,
that it is controlled completely by the
trusts and money magnates. This is
not a caIumny but a fact. The London
Saturday Review, commenting on the
attitude Of the people Of the United
States on the British Oer war. and ad-
hitting that popular sentiment was
against England, said: "The admins
tratiOn organs are with US, but it must
not be forgotten how completely the
administration Is in the hands Of the
great inanciers and trust companies"
There you have it, and have it straight!
England is in a war Of criminal aggres-
sion controlled by the money mag
mates. The United States ditto. Hence

AN ISSUE THAT MENACES.
The "Straight-Out" American Vote
Policy Would Make 1t Warm

How much enthusiasm can be
aroused, for instance, over our demand
upon Turkey for indemnity to the mis-
sionaries whose property was destroyed
several years ago? When it was init
mated recently that a fleet might be
sent to collect the indemnity one-hah
of the country expressed amusement
and the other half disgust. Mr.. MeKin.
ley would not gain a thousand votes
by coercing the sultan. As for the
Monroe doctrine and Germany's alleged
hostile intentions. il is plain that no.
body takes the hysterical utterances Of
Secretary Root and Senator Lodge seri-
ously. The German government de-
ciines to say or do anything which
would enable the administration to put
chip on its shoulder and pose as the
champion of the doctrine. If these is
sues are the best that Mr. Hanna has
in stock he is an object of pity. \ New
York paper recently intimated that if
the foreign vote" in the United States
became too much wrought up over the
destruction of the Boer republics BY
imperial Britain and threatened in
jury TO the republican party the admin
istration might make an appeal to the
'straight-out American vote" Now
this, it must be admitted would be an
issue that would stir the country.

IMPERIALISM IN FORCE.
Republicans Are Trying to Conceal
the Effects of Their Expan-
sion Policy.

Senator Spooner works himself up
TO a high pitch of indignation over
what he calls an attempt to make an is
sue of imperialism where none actually
exists.
THAT issue is not here now" ex-
aims Mr.. Spooner. except for party
and partisan purposes. 1t is a forced
issue. a wicked issue"
II the issue is not here for other than
party purposes the reason is because it
is blinked or ignored. The fact of i'm
perialism is with us, whatever may be
true as to the issue.
Wherever there is a more or less sue
cessful attempt TO rule an alien people
outside of the constitution and against
their will there is ;he fact of imperial
ism. though it may not be made an
issue.
The Wisconsin senator passionately
declares that the government of the
United States is true and will remain
true 10 the declaration of what he calls
the Teller resolution.
BY this he means that we are occupy
ing and will occupy Cuba for no other
purpose than its pacifcation and that
when that is accomplished we will
leave the people of the island TO gov
ern it. recognizing their independence.
If this is true there is no American
imperialism in Cuba because there is
no imposition of American government
upon its people without their consent.
This same senator when asked what
he proposed to do with the Philippines.
vehemently retorted: ''To enforce the
authority of the government in the
islands"
That was all. Nothing but enforce
ment of American authority at any
time near or remote. regardless OF the
will of the people of those islands.
There breathes the very spirit of i'm
periaism.
According to Mr.. Spooner, there is no
imperialism in Cuba. and the way to
avoid it is plainly indicated by the pol
icy which he Indignantly declares we
are going to adhere to there.
According to the same Mr.. Spooner
we will not pursue that American
policy in the Philippines. There we
have the fact of Imperialism. hard and
blue and cold and piteously crushing as
the Muir glacier.
We have the fact. We will not have
the issue if Spooner and the admins
tration for which be speaks can pre-
vent.-Chicago Chronicle.
