observed and respected by this gov
erpment. 1t is vel, known that Two
of the stipulations of this treaty
concede to the Sultan the right to
marry as many wives as he may
choose, and the recognition of his
property in slaves.
And yet, while all this is going
on one is led to wonder where all
the Longfellows and Lowells and
Whittiers are who twanged their
harps to the tune of Southern in
famya and where the Wendell Phil
lips and Garrisons and Summers
who made the welkin ring with de-
nunciations of the sleague with
death and the covenant with HE'LL"
by which picturesque language they
were pleased to refer to the consti-
tuition of the United States. Is
''there no balm in Gilead" now to
heal the disease that is eating like
cancer at the vitals of the Repub-
lie? Jefferson DAVIS supported the
doctrine of slavery as a right guar
anteed by the constitution, and he
was set upon by a united North and
bounded to his grave. Mckinley
entrenches slavery in Jolo by treaty
right and in defiance of the express
mandate of the constitution, and
yet the same North which bounded
Davis extended to Mckinley an al
most unanimous vote of confidence
and second term in the pres1den-
tial chair. What accounts for the
difference IN the treatment of the
two men7 Does the attraction which
appeals to the Republican party
consist of the fact that Mckinley
has done, in defiance of the consti-
tuition, what Davis did in c.nsn-
nance with the provisions of that
instrument! If this be not the true
reason, what is it that exp iains this
fondness for slavery, after i, has
been made unconstitutional, on the
part of the people who so bitterly
denounced it so long as it was sane
toned by the constitution? Where
now is the soul of John Brown, that
has been alleged to have been
marching with loud haIlelujahs up
and down the land for so long?
Where is that doughty warrior
upon the United States treasury
Gen. Leo Rasseur, who eft and
fout" and was "eternally right, :"
even when he was wrong?
But raillery aside, what picture
of national hypocrisy is presented
by the spectacle of the three
greatest nations upon earth raising
a great hullabaloo about the i'm
morality of slavery forty years ago,
and sanctioning it today But per
haPs they might philosophize with
the Widow Bedott: eve are all
pore sinfu l creeturs."

Slavery and Civilization.

Slavery and Civilization.
Daily States.
1t is significant fact that slavery
exists to-day in each of the three
great countries representing the
highest degree Of civilization and
progress. When the Southern Con
federacy was struggling for home
rule and the prese rvation of the
constitution as 1t was bequeathed to
US by the fathers, the Washington
government sought by every means
at its command to produce the I'M
preston that the war was fought on
the part of the Confederacy solely
for the purpose of retaining slavery.
So successful were Mr.. Lincoln and
Secretary Seward in the propagation
of this theory in the capitals of
Europe, that the refusal to recog-
nize the Confederacy was based by
several of these governments upon
the allegation that the Southern
soldiers were fighting for the perpe-
tuation Of slavery. More than a
third of a century after the close of
that great war and the collapse of
the Confederacy, we find that two
of the most prominent of the ma
tons who objected to slavery in the
Confederacy now permit it in their
own colonies; while the government
under which we live, and the head
OF the party which plumes itself
upon having put slavery down, have
recognized, by solemn treaty stipu-
lations, slavery in the Philippines.
England, to whom the existence
Of slavery IN the Confederacy was
an insupersble bar, permits slavery
in some of her colonies; while only
last week motion made in the
German Reichstag to declare free
the children born of slave parents
in the German colonies was de-
feated by decisive vote. The vir-
tuous indignation that ragged and
stormed in the Northern States
against the South forty years ago
appears to view with equanim,ty the
slavery in our Philippines posses
sions, and it even supported with
zeal and loyalty the president who
signed the treaty which legalized
what these same people formerly
denounced as an s'abominable traf-
fic IN human flesh" 1t has been
but few days since the Taft Com.
mission, vested with almost abso-
lutte governmental authority IN the
Philippines, paid visit to that
amiable polygamist and slave
owner, the Sultan of Sulu, and after
an agreeable interchange of courte-
sizes assured him that all the rights
aud privileges which he had ac-
quired by his treaty with the Amer
lean president would be faithfully

THE ANTI CIGARETTE CRU
SIDE,

Commenting upon the an:i-ci-
garette crusade now gong on in the
United States The Times Democrat
declares that s'eleven States have
anti-cigarettes laws on their statute
books" cit is said," continues
the I'd, s'that Louisiana and
Wyoming are the only States which
have not gwen the subject any at
tention." The Times-Democrat
evidently ignores the existence of
Act 90 passed by the General AS
sembly of Louisiana at its last ses.
sion. The Louisiana law to protect
minors against the evil effects of
cigarette smoking, is, like other
sumptuary enactments, permitted
to rest undisturbed on the statute,
books. We submit that if so WE'LL
informed a newspaper as the Times.
Democrat has not heard of its pas
sage nearly year after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature which
adopted it. this law is not annoying
youthful cigarette-smokers. The
title of the Louisiana law reads:
Gan act to prohibit the sale barter
or exchange by wholesale or retail
of tobacco cigarettes or cigarette
papers to minors" Nothing ap-
pears in the title to prohibit the
sale of tobacco to minors. A
comma after the word tobacco
would have given a different mean
ing to the title of the act. Possibly
this fact was overlooked by the
framer of the act or the comma was
left out by the intelligent type-setter.
We are inclined, however, to blame
the former, because it is well known
that the average Louisiana law
writer holds punctuation marks in
utter contempt.
The use of tobacco is no doubt
injurious to the mind and body
Cigarettes are particularly harmful,
especially when used by persons of
immature age and certainly every
effort should be made by parents
and teachers to familiarize the boys
with the awful consequences which
result from the tobacco habit. But
we do not think that anti cigarette
laws arc calculated to do much
good. The only way to stop the
use of tobacco among children is
for adults to give the example. A
boy is not likely to accept parental
advice unless it is accompanied by
good exa mple. So long as fathers
exercise their great American priv
ilege of chewing like billy-goats
from morning till bedtime, they will
find it the hardest kind of a task to
pursuade their young hopefuls that
tobacco is a deadly poison.
There are entirely too many laws
in this country. The cigarette law
will never be enforced. A large
majority of the people will never
know that there is such law. The
T. D., however, may find it out.
