THE SILENCE OF NEW ENGLAND.

If any Of the future historians of the United States
exclusive of those of inherited New England partisan.
ship should be of the ronical temper of Edward Glib
bon the famous author of The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire they will find fine field for
caustic comment in the continuance of slavery and
poIygamy in the islands of sulu since those islands
came under the sovereignty of the United States
The republican party in 1856 denounced slavery
and polygamy as twin relics of barbarism," The re.
publican party in 1899 concluded an agreement with
the sultan of Sulu by which it recognized slavery and
polygamy in the islands of Sulu, which are United
States territory both by the sutans recognition of the
sovereignty of the United States and the decision of
our supreme court. And still more strange the re-
publeans pay the sultan $4,000 down and $3.50 a
month during his natural life with which he can sup.
port more wives and buy slaves.
The constitution of the United States in the thir.
teenth amendment, forbids slavery Neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convict
cd shall exist in the United States any place sub,
Jet to their jurisdiction" There are stringent United
States statutes against polygamy The continuance of
slavery and polygamy in sulu would not be so remark
able If the United States had not taken so strong
position upon these very questions The Mormons
can testify that the path of the polygamist in the
United States has been a hard one Only short
while ago Congressman Roberts of Utah was deprived
Of his seat because he had been polygamist
For the suppression of slavery, according to the
Northern view, the civil was waged one of the
greatest in history in which to say nothing of
the enormous amount of money it cost and the enor
nous amount of property destroyed the casualties on
the Northern side alone footed up 912,OSS men,
What has become of the voice of New England
that used to denounce the constitution of the United
States because before the thirteenth amendment It
permitted slavery, as "a league with death and
covenant with hell?" If William Lloyd Garrison Wen
dell Phillips and Whittier and Quincy and May were
alive now what would they have to say with regard
to the situation in Sulu? The virtue of New England
does NOT seem to be made of durable stuff 1t does not
wear Well. Such degenerate Inconsistency would be
aughabe, were 1t not sad. New England by her ST.
ence consents to Sulu slavery and Philippine polyg.

citizens or her public

CHRISTMAS.

It is appropriate that Christmas, the anniversary
of the birth of Christ the of peace earth
and good will toward men," as proclaimed by the an
gels to the shepherds Judaea should be the peculiar
festival of children.
II is felt with sadness by the best of men and
women that the utmost of human accomplishment
falls very far short of perfection. We all of break
the Golden Rule. We do those things that we ought
not to do and leave undone those things that ought
do. But with children it is different There is di-
vine authority for putting them in class apart "Of
such is the kingdom of heaven" said the Master and
truth that utterance has since re-echoed
in the heart of rlghtfeeng who has had
to do with little children. Therefore it proper that
the day which of all in the calendar calls for the
greatest goodness should be especially Gel
ebrated by the children.
But nevertheless older people at the coming of
Christmas do honor to the day. There are few
scrooges among us Everybody is disposed to be lib.
eral toward those in lberaity and to show in
the giving of gifts to relatives and friends the love
that exists all the year round but is only thus signal.
lied at Christmastide.
Few are there laden that some Joy does
not to them at this blessed season. Few are so
wicked but that their hearts in degree soft
ened While as for the happy and good, of which the
children are the best examples, although some men
and women belong in this class, their joy increases
hundredfod. Santa Claus fills the stockings of the
children, presents exchanged among their elders
the Christmas turkey gistens on the table and plum
pudding smokes the sideboard beside the huge
punch bowl filled with frothing eggnog. The Christ.
mas dinner is small part of Christmas
At Christmas time ties of relationship and friend.
ship are drawn closer the fires the affairs OF love
made to burn brightly, God is worshiped and
the poor are not forgotten. AS the proverb has it,
Christmas comes but a year. Let each one of
us do his part to make it, far we can to everyone
a merry Christmas.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

The sessions of the National Civic Federation.
eliminating in the appointment OF committee rep,

the amicabe adjustment OF differences between en-.

ward in the solution of the labor problem
Heretofore many of the capitalists now represent.
ed in the conference have refused absolutely and ar
rogantly to recognize the labor organizations or 10
deal with them in any way II is noteworthy that in
less than year this shortsghted policy has been re-
versed and the capitalists who were most obdurate
listen to the presidents of the great labor unions in
conference which everybody must hope will lead to
practical results
While it is impossible to TELL until the experiment
has actually been put to the test whether the COM
mittes OF Ehe conference will be able to accomplish
all/tha 1t is claimed, the plan is nevertheless we'll
worth trial. The fact that such committee has
been formed by conference in which capitalists like
Senator Hanna and Charles NJ. schwab have sat
cheek by owl with the presidents the labor unions
shows that both Sides whatever the ultimate outcome
may be, are disposed at any rate, to make fair be-
ginning toward the continuance of harmonious rela
lions. The New York Evening Post is inclined TO
take a pessimistical view. In commenting on the
work of the National Civic Federation II says "Tbe
relations OF labor and capital have always been in
state of unrest, and always will be. The conflict be.
tween them viii always continue and paradoxical as
II may seem, ought to continue. Capital will grasp
all that It get and labor must fight for its rights
lapse into servitude This is the testimony of the
ages The true interest OF the human race lies in
the equalization Of opportunities and rewards and to
this end all public effort should be directed
A sounder view Is that OF President John Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers. who, in his speech to the
delegates at the meeting of the Federation said: III
the employers Of labor and the representatives of the
labor unions meet in honest conference If when
they meet they win tell another the absolute
truth say that the days strikes and lockouts
shall be over. have seen in my experience
strike that could not have been averted II the employ
