been so honored by the distinguished
leader of Tommy Atkins.
On Jan. %, 1900 Miss Duggan sent to
Gen. Kitchener the following letter:
This is a sprig of laurel from the hills
of Valley Forge, that spot where Gen.
George Washington encamped with his
little band Of followers, and which is
dear to every loyal American heart.
"Out of our sincere admiration for
the character and achievements of the
'Sirdar,' l send this as a mascot and
trust it may ably fulfill its destiny. Most
respectfully, -"Efhe Duggan,
Jan. %, 1900 i- -
And in due time came the reply, which
is reproduced in fac-simile here.
And now let Miss Duggan tell, in her
own way, why she sent the laurel and
the message to Lord Kitchener:
What prompted me to send Valley
Forge laurels to Lord Kitchener?
This is a question I have heard very
often since receiving the South African
letter.
Some one has asked if wished to
prick the conscience of Sirdar by sug-
gesting parallel between the Beers and
our revolutionary forefathers. But this
was not the truth.
LAS q matter of fact, I have always
been interested in Egypt and everything
Egyptian, and 1t seemed but a step from
this to admiration for Egypt's hero. No
one could read the accounts of his Sou
danese campaign without growing to
recognize the genius Of the man.
while I think there is no country like
America and no better man than the
American, I believe we can wisely give a
little appreciation to our cousins beyond
the seas. ...
The idea Of sending the laurel came
about in a very simple way.
One evening 1 had been reading a
Press account Of a South African bat
tie, and, in concluding, I half Jestingly
remarked to one Of my family that the
Sirdar seemed to be keeping very quiet,
and l thought he ought to receive some
encouragement. l then suggested the
laurel
'"The matter would probably have been
dropped right here, however, had I not
chanced at that moment to turn over
the pages Of magazine which lay on
the table near me. BY an odd coinci-
dence the first thing which met my
gaze was the pictured face of the Sirdar
wreathed in the very flower Of which
! had just spoken. That settled it. The
laurel should go to South Africa
i decided to gather 1T from the slopes
OF Valley Forge, as I supposed that even
Briton might know of the associa tons
clustering round that spot. Even the
great Sirdar might find something to
prize in q leaf plucked, perhaps, from
the unmarked grave of a revolutionary
hero. do not think 1t any stretch Of
the imagination to believe that the i'm
mortal Washington himself regarded the
laurel there with fond affection.

the Porto Ricans the uniform taxation
! commanded by the constitution.
The issue of Imperialism is stated in this
history, and in details which cannot be
set forth here. How the Democrats will
frame the issue is doubtful: There will
doubtless be declaration in favor of es-
tablishing a government in the Philip
pines coupled with a promise to retire
when the people establish their own gov
ernment,> and then to protect them
against foreign encroachments. This is to
make to the Philippines the same promise
which has beer made to the Cubans.
There has been much vagueness in ut.
tempts to formulate this issue on both
sides. So far, the Republican state plat
forms content themselves with approving
of the policy OF the administration, pro-
Tossing the belief that it is our duty to
elevate inferior races, which Providence
has mysteriously placed in our keeping
and expressing confidence that the aG-
ministration and a Republican congress
will work out the problems satisfactorily.
1t matters little, however, what may
be the form of the issue. The discussion
Will not be confined to the war against
Aguinaldo, or to questions as to the dis
position of the Philippines These are
and will be treated as, incidents of a
larger question, the question presented by
the development of the imperialistic idea,
icy of the administration. The issue goes
to the character of the government Are
we or are we not to change our political
character? Imperialism, as it is present.
cd to the voters, means that this republic
may consist of self-governing people and
of dependents; that the constitution gov
Verns congress in legislating for the one,
but not in legislating for the other class;
that although the very foundation prin-
he
govern themselves and are sovereign, con-
gress may nevertheless assume the SOW
ereignty when it comes to ruling terri
tories; that these islands which have
come to us are to be governed entirely
in the interest of the commercial class,
and that we may tax them for the benefit
of our protected manufacturers if we are
so inclined, as if they were foreigners
In effect this phase of the issue involves
the supremacy of the constitution. The
war in the Philippines, it's enormous cost
now amounting to nearly $500, COO, 000-its
alleged hoFelessness, its barbarities, its
drain upon the youth of the country, will
be attacked by the Democrats Finally
we shall have discussed the probable ef-
fectS of the war, the necessary setting up
Of a large army and navy, the burdens OF
militariSm and of increased taxation, the
constitutional changes which will DO
necessary in order that our executive may
be made more powerful, the evils which
may follow an awakened lust for power
and pelf, the inevitable reaction Of our
arbitrary rule of foreign peoples upon our
own free institutions. These are the ques-
lions which will be debated in the COM
ing campaign, and the issue cannot be
narrowed or obscured, or rendered vague
and uncertain, no matter what the plat
forms may say.

olution was rs to %, all but four of the
majority being Republicans.
If the constitution should be held to
| apply to the new possessions there would
necessarily be free trade between them
and this country, as there is necessarily
between the states. This question, how
ever, was shrewdly guarded in the treaty
1t has been the invariable rule with this
! government in taking over territory from
foreign powers to agree that the foreig n
peoples coming thus within our jurisdic-
ton shall enjoy all the rights of citizens
OF the United States. In this treaty with
Spain, however, it was provided that the
civil rights and political status of the
territories hereby ceded to the United
States shall De determined by congress. !"
From this recital Of the development of
the lmperlallst idea-which is necessarily
stated here from the point of view Of
those who raise the question against the
Administered ton, since it is upon their
statement that the debate must proceed
1t will be seen that from long before the
cessation of hostilities there existed
purpose to retain the Philippines and to
govern all our new possessions as de-
tendencies outside of the constitution.
These intentions were all slowly revealed
to the country 1t was not until late in
the summer of 1899 that Mr.. Mckinley
made his Ocean Grove speech, in which he
set forth the policy of the government.
From August to the middle of October,
In series of speeches, the president de-
clared that it was the purpose Of the ad-
ministration to keep the Philippines. The
policy of annexation had been fully
adopted in 1898; now its adoption was
declared to the country Then followed
the question to the character of the
government to be established The pres
idents progress to his ultimate decision
On the point was also slow. In his an
nua1 message he recommended free trade
for Porto Rico, and declared that the
PEOPLE of Hawaii-and, therefore, as a
matter of course, the people of all the
new possessions-were entitled to the
rights and privileges of the constitution.
His views as to Porto Rico were adopted
by the ways and means committee. Again
the commercial interests interviewed and
secured a protective tariff against the
islands, thus treating them as foreign
territory and their people as aliens. The
president and his party yielded to the
fear of the protected interests that the
adoption of free trade for Porto Rico
would establish a precedent, following
winch free trade might be demanded for
the Philippines and for Cuba. At the
same time government for Porto Rico
was established in a law which denies
that Porto Ricans are citizens of the
United States, and which makes the
president practically an absolute ruler.
Thus We have the last step in the long
procession % The denial to the natives
of the right of self-government; (2) the
annexation of the Philippines by purchase
and OF Porto Rico by conquest; 90 the
assertion of the right of congress to gov

AMERICAN REsCUERs.

Then, as the truth daWned upon them
the long pent-up emotions burst forth in
a cheer that was re-echoed by the charg-
ing Americans. In an instant all was
confusion, as the party of 40 picked
men, led by Col. Hare, Of the Thirty third
and Lieut.. Col. Howye, of the Thirty
fourth infantry, swept down upon them
They could hardly be brought to believe
the prisoners were alone and had charged
in the hopes of capturing the captors.
But when they saw the flag floating on
high cheer after cheer rent the air. 1t
is difficult to say who were the happier,
rescued or rescuers, as, laughing, crying
and cheering, they mingled together.
One party, rescued from a horrible and
almost certain death, after enduring
months of misery; the other, picked men,
successful, after weeks of marching,
fighting and searching, enduring every
manner of hardship, Drawing every dan
ger, determined to recapture the hapIess
prisoners or reek a terrible vengeance
1t Is needless to relate the scenes that
followed. Suffice to say that after TWEEN
ty days more of rafting, swimming,
marching and climbing, OCCASIONALLY firing
at the fleeing enemy, starving, barefoot
ed and ragged, the party reached the
coast, and, with the old banner still fly
ing, marched to Apart Boats from the
United States steamship Princeton await

aboard steamer bound for Manila
At Vigan they separated, the troops dis
embarking to enjoy needed rest, while
the eX-prlsoners went on to Manila Be-

crossed the island was presented to Col
Hare by Mr.. Langford, who had carried
1t SO long and bravely.
And this is the story of a flag in the

A week later, however, owing to the

Next morning council was held, and
Lieut. Gilmore, with majority of the
party, was in favor of continuing on
down the river, in the hopes of reaching
a civilized town on the sea coast, in pref
erence to retracing their way over the
terrible mountain range, which they had
just crossed. The flag was unfurled and
floated in the mountain breeze at the
head of the party as they marched on
down the river. A party Of savages,
seven in number. was encountered. They
fled on the approach of the Americans,
but following them down, a couple of
huts were found and some rice and ba-
nanas were obtained.
Finding further progress In that direc-
ton impossible, owing to a steep cliff,
they divided into two parties One, under
command of Langford, swan the river
above the rapids and proceeded to cut
bamboos for RATS, while the other, under
command of Lieut. Gilmore, remained on
guard at the camp. The remainder Of
the day was so spent, and by nightfall
five RATS were completed.
That night was an anxious one, as the
saVages were seen to be gathering on the
heights surrounding the camp, and an at
tack in force was hourly expected. How
ever, the long night at last came to an
end without any mshaps, but at earliest
dawn the savages, with spears and shields,
could be seen leaping from rock to rock
on the mountain top. Preparing to meet
them, the little party, determined to sell
their lives dearly, were suddenly startled
by a terrible yell, and out from behind
the rocks leaped body of charging men.

stopped beating, and their hands clench-

only within the memory of men now living that he has begun to find a place in the worlds conscience.
 Speaking of the age-long prejudice against the Jew, pr. Pell says that it is little remarkable that very few specific charges have ever been brought against him. Nobody has accused him of being a disturber of the peace; nobody ever called him loafer or a sot or a quarrelsome fel- lew; nobody ever wrote him down in the criminal class; nobody has accused him of lack of benevolence. We have been con tent to hate him for what he Is, perhaps, rather than for anything that he has done. But, no; this sentence will not pass. There is one thing for which we hate him, and that is his inordinate love of money. Yet, when we come to examine our hearts on thls matter we are not sure whether it is his love of money that is so exaspera ting, or the fact that he is constantly getting in the way of our love of money. I am not sure but that this, after all, is the secret of the worlds age-long prejudice against the Jew. From Jacobs day, wherever the Israelite has gone he has made money faster than his neighbors, and for this he has never been forgiven. As for the mod ern Jews love of money, it is most nat ural failing. As a famous Anglo-Jewish physician once said: It should not be for gotten that all other means of distinction have been denied the Jew. He must rise by wealth or not rise at all and if as he we'll knows, to insure wealth be to insure rank, respect and attention in society, does the blame rest with him who endeavors to acquire wealth for the distinction which it will purchase, or with that society which so readily bows down at the shrine of Mammon? As this writer says, it is not pretended that the Jew is miser, and that he desires to acquire wealth merely for the loahsome qualification of hoarding it. The Jewish merchant is generally pro- fuse in his expenditures; he has labored to ga-n riches on account of the respect which they will procure for him, and he is proud of expending them with the same view
 Moreover, the Jew is liberal. Indeed. as hir. Clemens has said, his race is en- titled to be called the most benevolent of
