at odds regarding the former powers

Some time ago Japan prevented the
cession Of such q port TO Russia. Re
fsrring 10 this controversy. the dis
patch says that the question has been
reopened By the admiral In charge Of
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur.
The Kobe correspondent adds:
This demand has accentuated the
differences between Russia and Japan.
The situation 10 serious. and there are
frequent conferences between the Jap

made by Gen. Miles. when first landing

Puerto Ricans should enjoy the same
rights and immunities as the people of
the United States. On this understand
ing the Puerto Ricans accepted Ameri-

Shall this great republic break faith

The hugest joke Of the year Is the
amendment to the bill for the ship
subsidy steal which proposes to bring
shipping trusts under the Sherman
antitrust law, by q declaration that
the provisions OF that law shall be
specifically applicable to the builder,

Nobody else In the country would have
the cheek to take up q law that has
been utterly discredited. and shown
not to be effective for depressing, any
kind OF trusts. and offer It as a pre-
ventiye for a new trust. To 20 to the
people on that sort Of a proposition Is
TO rely on their lack Of intelligence. II
the republican party in congress have
any desire to prevent = shipping trust
from gobbling up the $1,000. 900 a year
which this bill flches from the pockets
OF the people. II could tasty put an eff
fective antitrust provision In the bill
instead Of this ridiculous pretense of
one. But 1t has no such purpose. The
snip subsidy steal Is for the special
dement, Of a trust. II is made to enable
a trust to collect tribute from the peo-
pie Just as the provisions Of the Ding
ley bill were prepared for that purpose.

the REPusLrcAN FINANCIAL
POLICY.

That the national bankers are a
favored class Is made apparent BY even
the most eursory examination OF their
position. Under the new currency act
they viii be able to take out 1900
worth OF notes for every 1000 worth
Of bonds that they deposit with the
treasury, SO that they practically win
do business on the credit Of the gov
eminent alone. The money originally
Invested In the purchase Of the bonds
is.again on hand In the shape Of notes.
On the bonds deposited as security
for the notes the bank receives inter-
est. and the notes 1t loans out at in
terest also. 50 that on the money In
vested in the business double interest
Is received, thanks to the kindness or
the government
Were the government to issue its
own notes direct to the people 1t would
save the amount 1t pays to the banks
as interest on the bonds, and It could
even require the banks TO pay 1t for
the use of whatever notes they might
need for their customers.
The only thing that makes the notes
Of the banks valuable Is the guaranty
Of the government that they shall be
redeemed, so that the banks are actual
ly being paid for making use Of some
thing for which they ought to
be obliged to pay. This is the

he was teacher of music at st. Joseph's

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH.
CHis Holiness, Leo XIII, Aug. To- 1881
To thee, o blessed Joseph, we have
recourse in our attilction, and, having
implored the help of thy thrice holy
Spouse. we now, with hearts filled with
confidence. earnestly beg thee also to
take US under thy protection. BY that
charity. wherewith thou weret united
to the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of
God. and by that fatherly love. with
which thou didst cherish the Child Je-
sus. we beseech thee and we hurnbly
pray that thou wilt look down with
gracious eye upon that inheritance
which Jesus Christ purchased by his
blood and wilt succor US in our need
by thy power and strength.
Defend, oh most Watchful guardian
of the Holy Family, the chosen off
spring of Jesus Christ Keep from us,
o most loving Father, all blight of err
ror and corruption Aid us from on
high, most valiant defender. in this
conflict with the power of darkness.
And even as of old thou didst rescue
the Child Jesus from the peril of His
life. so now defend Gods Holy Church
from the snares of the enemy and from
all adversely. Shield US ever under thy
patronage. that, initiating thy example
and strengthened by thy help, we may
live a holy life. die happy DEATH and
attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven.
Amen.
Indulgence of years and quaran-
tines each time this prayer is said
We also request the Reverend Clergy
to read. in the vernacular, to the peo-
pie, the gospel for each day during

HOW LORD ROBERTS
INUNDATED CRONJE

New York, Feb. ga special to the
World from Washington says: CONT
mental diplomats accept the defeat of
General CrOnje in grim silence. None
will consent to be quoted for any eX-
preston. except that the issue is what
might have been expected. One of the
attaches, who has himself served as a
soldier, however, said:
There is one aspect of the capitu-
lation of General Cronje which is hu-
initiating to every soldier. There is a
brotherhood of chivalry which binds all
professional soldiers. Violation of the
delicate amenities which govern the
conduct of members of our profession
is a reflection upon the order of chiV-
airy as much today as it was when
knighthOod was in flower.
General CTOnje made a gallant de-
Tense. At the cost of the utmost sacri-
fee and pain, he stopped the victorious
Lord Roberts and held his ground until
his hard-presSed countrymen could
form for final defense.
The fact that Lord Roberts and his
lieutenant, Lord Kitchener, compelled
the valorous .Cronje to the bitter hu
initiation of presenting himself at the
tent of his conqueror as a Suppliant for
the miserable boon of unconditional
surrender. is a requital of bravery not
consistent with chivalrous conduct.
Soldiers throughout the world will be
amazed. There was no possible excuse.
The fact that the British commanders
might have apprehended treachery is
flimsy. The British were strong
enough to have executed the army,
We're any violation of war committed.
"Cronje has been a brave foe He
made no discrimination between the
wounded British and his own people;
all were treated alike, as was shown
when the hospital at Jacobsdal was
captured two weeks ago. The bitter
humiliation put upon him is a stain
upon Christian knighthood 1t is with
out a parallel.
. Contrast the conduct of Lords Rob-
erts and Kitchener with that of the vic
torious Schley and Shafter. The ut
most. courtesy was shown to their over
thrown foes Philips Don't cheer,
men,. they are dying, will stand in con-
trast5 to the conduct of the generals
who compelled a gallant foeman who
mad tbattled against tremendous odds
to come as humble suppliant even to
the very doors of their tents, to beg
for his brave soldiers that they might
ignominiously surrender.
This ruthless; oVerbearing conduct
will have an effect upon civilization.
Those who claim they admire fair play
should exhibit some of the elements
of the chivalry which is the real basis
of gentlemanly conduct. Soldiers VIII
remember this treatment. and it is pos
sible that on another day it may be
returned with interest"
