SEWARD AvERTED WAR.
Sir ID. j. Monson Says American
Statesman Prevented Clash
with Britain.

Sir Edmund j. Monson, the British
ambassador at Paris, takes exception
to Naval Lieutenant j. S. Trotter's
ascribing the happy escape of Great
Britain from war with the United
States in the Slidell- Mason affair az
due to Admiral Mines influence on
William H. Seward (then secretary of
state under President Lincoln). The
British ambassador, who was at that
time an attache of the British lega-
ton at Washington, writes to the
Spectator: 1.-The happy result of the
negotiation was principally due to Mr..
Seward. who was almost alone in the
American cabinet in seeing that 1t
was not only good policy, but con-
sistent with the principles always
held by the United States, to concede
the demand of Great Britain. At this
distance of time it can do no harm
for me to state that that demand, as
formulated by Lord Russell, was de.
ivered to Mr.. Seward by me, private
ly, Lord Lyons having charged me,
after his first interview with Mr.. Sew
ard, to go at once to the state de-
partment and place copy of Lord
Russell's dispatch in the hand of the
secretary of state for his official Pc
rusal."

Mcclure, the mayor of Syracuse, N.
Y, who is personally acquainted with
Roosevelt has this to say of the Grip
pie Creek affair:
Roosevelt probably got up the fake
himself. He is the monumental faker
in both parties. That is his style.
That is the cowboy hat principle of
politics. That is just about where he
belongs-in the Cripple Greek squad.

inflated and False Property"
"All of the evils and the perilof the
so-called republican policy have re-
turned sevenfold, developed and ex-
tended till the very foundation of the
government seem threatened. A false
economic system has resulted in vast
combines of capital that throttle in
diyidual industry and hold control
over all the functions of government
and the spokesman of the administra-
tion, representative of one of these
great trusts, is calling upon his fellow
capitalists for contributions to buy
another four years license to rob, an
other four years. life for their inflated
and false prosperity.
1.-THE government thus controlled
has found its fttest expression in
schemes of military conquest and the
blood the treasure of the nation are
poured out to subdue distant people
and rob them Of these rights of liber-
tY and independence that America
has always claimed for all mankind.
imperialism and militarism are the
natural outgrowth of commercialism
in politics, of the power of the few
over the many, the elevation of money
above manhood, with all the system
of special privileges and corrupt con-
troll that the republican party since
the civil war has increasingly fostered.
The upholders of this system are
themselves aware of it's hollowness
and are calling for aid from the money
power to bolster it up for a time long
er. The condition is one that the
country must meet and meetno and
the way to meet it is by reassertion
OF the democratic idea and the elect
ion of democratic president.

alton of capital against the interests
of labor; that is debauchipg our poIiti-

millions of money from protected

cal contest, and that has inauguIated

An Illogical Bit of DemngoEy.

One very evident purpose of the propa-
ganda now being conducted in this country
ostensibIy in behalf Of the Beers Is to
arouse the .Cerman-American vote to
antagonism to the administration on the
plea of the governments inactivity 1t Is
expected that the touring Roer delegates
will touch steadily upon these strings In
their appeals and suggestions. In short, a
bid. ii is clear. is to be made directly ana
hopefully to the German voter to swing
his allegiance to the democratic party out
of pique because the republican party does
MOI consent to a course of conduct which
would speedily lead to a war with England.
Those VINO are engaged in furthering this
interesting program seem to forget the 1act
that not only has the German emperor thus
far kept hands off the quarrel in South
Africa but has deliberately neglected di-
rect opportunity to intervene. He turned
cold shoulder to these same Boer delegates
when they were in his country. He ig-
nnrcd them Notwithstanding it was he who
was first in the field with his congratula-
lions tn President Kruger when JamesOns
IA d failed.
With what grace can those who are en-
siuecring the pro-Boer campaign in this
country appeal now to the American Of
German extraction and ask him to become
an enemy to the government because 1t re-
fuses To do what the kaiser himself has
refused to do? This country. indeed. has
done far more than Germany in the inter-
eStS of the Beers 1t has proffered its
good offices as mediator. Has the emperor
done as much? Has he expressed any SYM
pathy? Has he permitted violent pro-Boer
aEitations to be conducted in his country?
Has he. in short. done or said anything
whatever calculated TO aid the Boer cause
a a juncture when a word from him might
precipitate a formidable opposition to Eng
land?
The campaign for German-American votes
Will not bear scrutiny 1t is but another
descent into the demagogy that has unfor
tunately marked too many phases of Amer
lean political activity in the past. The
most interesting question of the hour is
whether these Boer delegates will have the
wit To see the absurdity of their position in
season to prevent themselves from becom-
iuE.
