PASSING
EVENTS
Of Men and Things in the
Public Mind.
THERE ARE OTHERS.

Some time in October John Most.
the well-known anarchist Of New
York, who has frequently published
inlammatory articles in his paper
melting riot and revolution against
the government Of the United
States, was convicted of such a crime
and sentenced to one year in the
state penitentiary at Auburn. Now
the question arises if Most is guilty
to the extent that he is liable to a
years sentence in the state peniten-
tiary, why is he not equally liable
to be deported from the United
States? Just where the man could
be sent is a question, for no other
government would allow him to land
in their ports, but does not that sug-
gest the advisability of setting apart
some island for the anarchists and
let them be deported thereto and
form a colony among themselves and
do just as pleased them best? The
United States government should
always keep an armed cruiser near to
the islands in order to prevent them
from escaping and again reaching
the mainland, for, regardless Of the
conditions of the island, the anar-
chists would not be satisfied unless
they were again among civilized
people melting them to riot. Most,
Emma Goldman and other leaders
among anarchists are certainly culp-
able to the extent that they should
either be in prison or deported, and
the later should be far more prefer
able to the United States govern
ment than the former.

REALM OF
RELIGION
Among the Worlds Christians
and Quasi Christians.
MANY SPANISH RIOTS.


The Spanish government seems to
be rapidly verging a religious revo-
luton, and first one scheme and then
another is brought forward by some
enthusiast in order to effect religi-
GUS upheaveal in that country. Dur
ing the most of the past year religi-
Gus riots have been quite frequent
throughout Spain, the cause for
which was a counter demonstra-
ton made by the church folk
Of that country. Spain is and always
has been extremely Catholic in its
religious views, and perhaps there
are not cOrpora's guard of Protest
ants in the whole country, but if the
demonstrations and riots against the
prevailing church Of the country
continue as frequently in the future
as they have in the past, Spain will
be much divided as to its religious
views in the very near future and the
Catholic church will have lost a
great many followers thereby.

Speaking about the colored folk
leaving the South and coming North
a table published by The Republican
in last weeks issue, showing the
movement of the colored folk since
1880, might be Of some interest
along this line Already the border
states have lost in some instances
two-thirds of their colored popula-
ton, while none of the extreme
Southern states have made any great
gains, probably with one exception.
In face Of these facts the census
shows a tremendous gain Of colored
population in the United States.
This is proof sufficient that those
people are rapidly drifting North,
even into the cold climate where it
has been said they will soon die from
cold and exposure. Within the next
three decades, unless the South finds
some other source to draw on for
help, it will be in sore distress for
sufficient help to cultivate the land.
1t will be as it was a short time after
the war, their lands wasted wilder
ness, and the North will be utilizing
the black man in its mines, mills,
shops and farms. It will not take
many more such outbreaks as have
occurred during the present year to
drive them away from that section
by the thousands and even millions.

BROTHER
IN BLACK
Under Critical Eye Of OBJ
serving Men.
HOPELESSLY DEMOCRATIC.

Even now that seyenty-fve per
cent. of the colored people of the
South have been legally disfranchis-
ed, it is very questionable whether
there will spring up a Republican
party of any strength or influence in
those states. While the Southern
white man has a race prejudice
against the Negro, he has a sectional
prejudice against the North, which
is far more bitter and intense than
that he has against the Negro. And
then again, the assertion that re-
specttble Republican party can be
built up in the South out Of mate
rial taken from the Democraticeparty
is as ridiculous as it is absurd, for it
is an impossibilty to take any part Of
the Democratic party in the South
and get any responsibility out of it
Responsibility among Southern
Democrats is an unknown quantity.

HE OVERLOOKED SELF.

General Russell Alger's long-ex-
pected book has finally made its ap-
pearance, and the public is reading
the same with the view Of criticising
it one way or the other No book
that had been promised to the pub
lie was so eagerly looked for as this,
from the fact that it promised to
treat Of the Spanish-American war
and, secondly from the fact that the
man who was the head Of the war
department at the time the war
broke out and during the most Of
the war, but who was subsequently
asked to step down and out by the
president, was to write the book
What would he say in condemnation
of the way he vast treated by the
president? What would he say in
bolstering up his own administra-
ton? What would he say of the en-
tire war? were questions that were
asked and answered in their own
way many times over by the expect
ants. But the book itself is with us,
and it is being read, and the more it
is read the more it is liked. While it
said nothing in behalf of the Al ger
administration nor had no unkind
words for the Mckinley administra-
ton or any one connected thereto,
nevertheless it tells facts so straight
forward and convincing that most
people who have read it have come
to the conclusion that General Alger
was a much abused man, and had
his policy been followed out the re-
suits finally reached would have
been Just the same as they were.

SOME SOUTHERN IRONY.

In the Atlanta Constitution ironi-
cally recommending the Negroes of
the South to come North in order to
be with their Teddy Roosevelt
friends, it is but advocating the the
ory that The Seattle Republican has
stood for ever since it has been in
existence The Republican believes
that the much mooted race problem
in this country would 60 a long way
toward adjusting itself if a large ma
jority Of the Negroes Of the South
would scatter out all over the Uni
ted States and be found in every
community where they could or
could not get work, but so long
as they stay congested together as
they are in the South, just so long
will there be race troubles and race
riots prevalent in that section. Let
the Constitution encourage its read
ers to helping out just such a move
as this and it will cover itself with
much glory and honor. Within the
past two decades between two and
four million Negroes 2hate left the
South and come to the North, and
for the most part they have all done
well and a great deal better than
they were doing in the South. There
is still room for more. Their labors
are needed and if the Atlanta Con-
stitution will do its duty, the long
felt want will be supplied, and then
the United States can shut her gates
to foreign immigration and utilize
the help Of which she already has an
abundance.

are well satisfied with being such
Christians as they are, and the estab-
lishment of an Episcopal diocese in
these communities would lessen in
stead of strengthen their faith in
Christianity, and he therefore is
laboring with the higher church
authorities to give up that religious
move for the sake Of Christianity.

REPUBLICANS VICTORIOUS.

hLI I DIIICANO . Will Oh1O ..
The elections in the East last
Tuesday were landslides in every
civilized state Of this Union for the
Republican party. In view of the
fact that this was an off year for the
Republicans, such an overwhelming
victory was not looked for. The en-
tire vote is but an endorsement of
McKinleyism and a godspeed to
Rooseveltism. The howl that was
set up by the Southern press agita-
tors against Roosevelt for entertain
ing Booker T. Washington did not
lose his party very many votes in the
North; in fact, it would appear that
it made the party votes instead Of
losing them New York city turned
down Tammany and the Democratic
tiger with a sweep, Low being elected
by a 10000 majority. The state like
wise goes Republican. Pennsylvania
is Republican by 10000; Ohio is
Republican by 10000; Nebraska,
the home Of the silver king, swept
into the Republican ranks by 10,-
600 majority; Rhode Island is Re
publican by 5000; Massachusetts, is
Republican by 10000 majority; New
Jersey is Republican by 10000 ma
jority; Utah is Republican by a
small majority; South Dakota is Re
publican by small majority; Iowa,
Republican by $4,000 majority;
Maryland is still much in doubt;
Connecticut, Republican by 10000
majority. Of all the states that vot-
ed last Tuesday but three went
Democratic; they we're Mississippi,
Kentucky, and Virginia.

tants Boston comes next with a
population of 100000, and she has
23,7SO telephones, or telephone for
every twenty-four inhabitants. 1t
will thus be seen that the telephone
has become a business factor in
every commercial house and in resi-
dences a household necessity. The
telephone is a reform that is becom-
ing more and more practical every
day, and it will not be many years
before it will be possible for one to
sit in his office and telephone to the
most remote part of the United
States.

ester, n. Y, is out opposing the es-
tablishment Of a Protestant Episco-
pal diocese in the Philippine islands
for the reason that it will be a con-
fiicting struggle between two relgi-

THAT TALGING TELEPHONE.

Nothing plays a more conspicuous
part in the business affairs Of this
country than the telephone, which
has grown from nothing to immense
proportions within the past 20 years.
According to a late compilation on
this subject there are at present nine
cities in the United States that have
an excess of 5000 telephones San
Francisco leads in the telephone
business, and in a population of
342,782 she has 21,342 telephones,
or one phone to ever sixteen inhabi-

TURKEYS CUNNING CALLED.

L L
In the past Turkey has been able
to compliment itself on its diplo-
macy as well as strategy In dodglng
the demandws Of great nations on
whose rights she had encroached.
For months she has baff1ed the
French government in its demands
for redress offered it by the Turkish
government, but patience ceased to
be virtue on the part OF the French
government, and few days ago she
sent an armed fleet to confront the
Turkish capital with a view Of bonn
harding the same unless her de
mands were at once complied with.
While the sultan showed some signs
of resisting the demands, he eventu-
ally backed down and authorized his
officials to wire the French govern
ment his willingness to settle IN full
Nothing seems to bring the sultan
of Turkey to his senses so quickly as
the presence Of some hostile nations
men-of-war about his territory. Ii
the United States would use the
same methods as has France Miss
Stone would no longer be held fol
ransom by the Turkish brigands.

SUCCESS OF SURGERY.

Modern surgery seems to have
made more progress during the past
century than most any class OF
science. The up-tO-date surgeon at
the present time does not hesitate to
use the operating knife to examine
the internal organs of the human
body without any fear Of jeopardiz-
ing the patients life. The strides
that surgery has made verge almost
on to miraculous. Yea, it can be
truthfulyl said, when one hears of
the great feats surgeons accomplish
in examining the internal organs Of
the human body that they read more
like mythology than real facts. Ow-
ing to the latter-day accomplish
ments Of surgery, it was hoped that
President McKinley's life could be
saved under the operating knife,
but circumstances seem to have been
against it; but Notwithstanding sur
gery's failure to accomplish this fact,
nevertheless it has accomplished
others far more dangerous than that,
and it does so every day. 1t does so
in almost every hospital in the Uni
ted States almost every week. Rid
ing through the air is nothing in
comparison to the modern advance
ment of surgery.
In the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and the United States the
consumption Of wine, beer and spir-
its per capita, expressed in gallons,
is as follows:
Wine Beer Spirits.
United Kingdom 80. .S9 31.7 1.12
Germany Las N.5 194
United States ........ ,33 1873 1.O6
Aggregating the above figures the
amount of stimulating beverages
consumed in each of the four coun-
tries above named is as follows:
United Kingdom ................. 1921 gals.
France ........ ................... 1873 gals.
Germany ................. ........ 30S9 gals.
United States INSTRUMENTATION. 14.69 gals
From this howing, which is clear
ly entitled to the credit of being i'm
partial, since it emanates from the
British Board Of Trade, it appears
that the United States consumes less
intoxicating liquor per capita than
any Of the other countries.
However, this does not mean that
there is less drunkenness in the
United States. Americans are not
such constant and uniform drinkers
as foreigners are, but they are per-
haps more largely given to occasional
sprees and fits Of intemperance.
Still the figures are gratifying,
and they will no doubt be observed
with universal satisfaction by the
friends of sobriety on this side Of the
water.
