There seems to be much discord

To reconcile matters to soma ex-

Ndt Anglo-Sa1Dm.

Our English boot lickers who up.
hold the British piracy of the Afrl-
can Republics on the gronnd of
'"civilization," have great deal to
say about the kinshiy of 'races and
the ruling spirit of the Anglo
Saxons. They forget that the rul.
ing class in England has no Anglo
Saxon blood in its veins. They are
Norman. French, and have been pr
rates since the dawn of history.
The Angles and the faxons had
settled along as frlende and Dalgh.
bors when William, the Norman,
sailed over from France henevo-
lentIy assimilated them and their
islands; and these north Of France
freebooters have not only heId'on
to their prize ever since, but they
have assimilated other countries and
islands in the same manner, uHtil
their booty covers the earth. These
Norman French English have never
fought generous or d patriotic
war. There is not single bright
spot in the folds oflheir bloody flag
Every battle that they ever fought
was for booty and suppression. And
rit is historical fact that they never
attacked nation of their own size
and capacity except when they
were backed by alliances that gave
them strength Of ten to one.
These .Norman-French are the
greates& bullies the world ever saw, i,
and, like all other bullies, the most
consumate towards. They jump
on to little nations they think they
can rob with impunlty, an when
they happen to stir up a nest of
hornets, as they did IN America in
1776 and in Africa in 1900, they
turn the fighting over to the CeIts
and the Saxons who constitute ow,
as they have always done, the mass
of the common people of the British
Isles, aHd who are unquestiouabIy
fighting races.-VaIIey Democrat.

Mr.. Mckinley snme time ago in.

were to be the guiding stars Of his
Administration. Later he defined
one aspect of his duty in these words:
"Our plain duty is to abolish all
customs tariffs betweeo the United
States and Puerto Rico and give
her products free access to our
markets"
Now the President has cut loose
from duty and undertaken to travel
with destiny alone. or destiny in

allowed the announcement TO be
made that he desires the passage of
the bill levying taxes upon the
Puerto Ricans, without their con-

Senatorial Candidates.

The 2lst S. natorlal district ls
composed of SIX counties, viz:
Bcllinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau,
Carter, Ripley and Wayne. The
district committee is composed of
the 70 lowing gentlemen: r M.
Wells, Marble Hill; j Perry John
.son, Poplar Bluff; J'"hn A Hope,
Jackson; ,G. 7 lee Wan Buren,;
r. G. Bnrct, .Donlphan, and J. II.
Hatten, W,llmmsville, who IS chair
tman, and John A Hope is secretary
.of the committee. There are three
candidates who have announced
already With three randiilutes in
the field. il will make lively cam.
,paign.
II the usual rule for the appor
1ionment of delegates is to be OBJ
served, there will be forty.sIx deE
egates, based on the vote of 1896.
Conceding that each county will
support its own candidate, it would
leave it 10 the power of Butler,
Ripley and Wayne, with their "a
votes, to nominate the candidate.
1t Drum can carry Butler and
Ripley, he would lack one of a
majority. but if he can get II votes,
or Butler and Wayne. from the
three counties of Butler, Ripley and
Wayne, he would be nominated on
first ballot. Lee wonld have to get
all of the three counties to nominate
on first ballot. The candidate from
Cape Girardeau county has the
largest number of votes to start
with. yet he would need help from
two of the countiesiat least. There
may be favoritc cons from other
counties to be heard from yet. Then
there is the proverbial "dark@orse"
that turks around nominating con-
ven,ions, but whose shadow has
not appeared yet The contest
gives Indications of being spirited.
