SEPTEMBER 4, 1901.
American slavery.

For thirty years the sincere and
consisteut champions of American
liberty fought for the emanoipa-
ton of the southern slave. For
thirty years they struggled to di-
rect public sentiment against the
slave pens and the whipping posts
that gave life to the declaration of
independence. Newspapers took
up the fight and their buildings
were burned to the ground. Ora
tors entered the arena, and were
compelled to fight their way out
from mobs with bowie knives and
revolyers. Congress took up the
question, and the nation shook to
it's foundation. Gradually the
national conscience was aroused.
The underground railway enlisted
the service of the best blood in the
nation. The movement toward
emancipation grew in magnitude
until section was arrayed against
section and the inevitable conflict
was on. The strong men of the
North and South finally sanctioned
the sentiment of Linooln-"a ma
ton cannot exist half slave, half
free"-and 30 the sections dashed.
For four frightful years this war
to purge the land of slavery and
make the STARS and stripes the ban
ner of the free was waged. Thous-
ands upon thousands of the men of
the North and South laid down
their lives. Thousands of homes
were desolated. Fields we're laid
waste and magnificent plantations
given to the torch. Wealthy fam
lilies found themselves face to face
with restitution. And when at
length peace came again the nation
al debt, the desolation, the new
made graves staggered the oredulity
of the world.
And yet we we're content. We
had paid the debt of ancestral
wiokedness. We had purged the
land of slavery. We had written
the declaration of Independence
with the blood of our truest and
our best. Forty years have elapsed.
The other day Gen. Macarthur in
government report concerning
his work in the Philippines made
the following statement:
"Whenever question relating
to slavery comes before me 1 sim
ply make the owners prove that
they are slaves, in which case l
have nothing to do with them
[slaves.")
Onoe more the government of
the United States recognizes the
institution of slavery beneath the
flag. Once more the army of the
United States is aotive-but this
time in defense of the slave-owner
Slavery under tho flag, recognized
and protected by the f1ag!"
The other day Chicago music
teacher with no sense of humor
translated 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" into Spanish for use in
the schools of the Philippines
Desiring to have it officially reoog-
nized, he called upon Mr.. MoKin-
ley and sang verse for his APPROX
al. If sanctioned by the authori-
ties it will be introduced into the
schools at once. Just fancy these
children, whose parents died fight
ing for their liberty and who feast
their eyes upon the Iegalized slave
pen and whipping post, singing:
His the star spangled bannerl Oh,
long may it wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave!

L Sad ROYAL Life.

Few royal personages are entirely happy
In their personal relations. Responsible
ties are too heavy to permit them to relax
as does the humble subject. Their affec-
tions are thwarted for political purposes
and their home life Is never immune from
the invasion Of state considerations. The
empress dowager of Germany, who died
yesterday, was perhaps one Of the saddest
of all of Europe's royalties. Her married
life. indeed, was happy in itself, but rem
dered melancholy by the threat of disease
and death. Her middle age was embittered
by court quarrels and by the refusal of the
German populace to recognize her as
worthy of their unstinted love and respect.
She was progressive, yet a generous wo-
man, thoughtful for others and inclined
toward reforms which clashed with the
notions of those officially stationed around
her. Her husband, the late Emperor Fred
erick, was loveable man, wholly different
In temperament from his eldest son, now
emperor. Had he lived to reign for con-
siderable period In the enjoyment of health
he would have found his consort a great
help. But his hundred days of rule were
saddened by the swift approach OF death
and by differences with Bismarck. who
would not tolerate the liberal views of the
new emperor and empress Since Freder
ick's death the empress dowager has lived
a most retired life, cutting absolutely no
figure whatever in Germain politics or So
ciety, and holding more and more aloof
even from personal friends during the pro-
gress of her own fatal ailment. She has
presented pathetic spectacle, in contrast
with the feverish activity of her son. the
emperor, whose actions have not always
reflected reverence for his parents. So
slight an impress did Frederick and his
wife leave upon German affairs, indeed,
that their reign is generally ignored in
casting up the influences which have
shaped the policies of the present sover-
eign.
