WHAT THE INAUGURAL MEANT.

The inaugural of Mr.. Mckinley is
the most noteworthy event OF our 1
history. 1t requires no prophetic |
vision to see the dangers that
are now about to beset Us.
We are becoming a military coun-
try. This appeared in the pageant
just witnessed in Washington. Regu
lars figured IN unprecedented numbers,
West Point cadets stepped to the beat
of the drum, and Edward the VII was
not indicted into Office and will not
be crowned with more imposing cere.
monies or military pomp. But as be
tween the two the power of Edward
VII is as to that of Mr.. Mckinley as
a lid to Goliah Agath.
The rights of the people, thefreedom
of the press, the privileges accorded
under the bill of rights and the consti-
tuition will fade one by one, the bayo-
net will CLEAN where it was never
known before, and step by step from
this day until some gigantic revolution
loverturns the rulers, and shakes the
lcountry to it's foundations, will this
fright and that right be denied, the
grip of martial instead of civil law fix
itself more and more tightly on the
throat of liberty, and the people be
come vessals and slaves. The condi-
lions everywhere breathe of strong
central government, the formation OF
Gigantic trusts Is but symbolic OF the
Capitalization of power In the hands
of one man. The neglect of the rights
of the people and the concern for those
of corporations as is evidenced in the
retreat of Mr.. Mckinley from "Our
plain duty" and the more recent ruling
by Secretary Gage on Russian sugar,
are unfailing evidences that nothing
can now Withstand the imperious de-
lmand of the Trusts. What then
Ymay we expect 1T the end Of the four
years yet to be served by Mr.. McKin-
ley? Without any desire to prophssy.
or take gloomy view OF the outlook,
we can but pity those fools who shout
ed on Inaugural day when the clat-
tering hoofs of horses and the rumble
of tho wheels of artillery resounded on
lPennsylvania Avenue as our army
and artillery went by, and Mr.. McKin'
lev and Mr.. Marcus Hanna seated like
Damon and Pythjas rode side by side
from the Capitol to the White House.

NO SOOTHING SYRUP FOR US.

The end OF the Boer war is now sald
to he SO near that the British can see
it. Possibly this-end could have been
seen long ago but for the fogs about
London. or the distance Intervening
between De Wet and the seat OF gov
eminent. This may prove mirage,
beautiful to look upon, but which re
cedes as the hungry and thirsty Brlton
bends his weary steps in its direction.
1t would seem that this war ought to
be nearly over. 1t has cost England
about billion in cool cash, to say
nothing of the lives lost, and the in
Jury to trade conditions. But it has
cost her far more than this in another
way. It has cost her her prestige and
something of her good name. We
supposed that England was one OF the
most civilized countries in the world,
next to the United States. We sup
posed that she was 80 outraged by
Spanish cruelties in Cuba, by the re-
concentrate warfare, that she, great
humane England, would never resort
to the same tactics. We supposed that
in as much as the United States had
gone to war with Spain simply because
her humane people could not stand by
and see those atrocities go on without
interference, that the humane United
States had no record of any other
than that character in the pages Of
her own history. We supposed also
that when the great civilized powers
entered China that each would have
Wed with the other in good behavior
and decent conduct, but in all these
we have been mistaken. England q
civilization has not taken the deamon
out of her character. The civilization
of the United States, by her asserted
to be the highest in the world, did not
take the brute and beast out prior TO
1865, and civilization throughout the
world did not eliminate the beastial
and buccaneering propensities from
any one of the allies in the recent
Chinese invasion, so that We are not
altogether prepared to say that civil
zation in some respects has not been a
failure. We have not mentioned the
humane war we are now carrying on
in the Philippines because the con-
duct of that war must not be criticized.
Only few days ago q Congressman
who dared to question the breadth OF
our humanity now existing there was
denounced as "copper-head," and
told that during the civil war such
people ought to have been shot, SO in
directly informing him that such a
course would please the majority in
Congress now, and that sentiment was
applauded. Recently an editor in
Manila criticised in modrate terms the
conduct, not of the war in the Philip
pines, but of the port at Manila. His
paper was suppressed and he thrown
into Jail, court martialed and sent out
of the country. Such are the results
of militarism, such is the trend of
affairs in the United States as we'll as
in the colonies. We are therefore
afraid to mention that war, and our
spirit of humanity prevalent there,
lest we be visited by squad of sol
diers with bayonetted rifles, and Or
desed to march.
