DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

Representative Oyerstreet, of In
diana, who was the father of the gold
standard bill, introduced a bill this
week seeking to fasten the gold stand
ard on the United States firmer than
ever.
The House Friday had another
spirited struggle over the Olmsted
resolution to investigate the abridg-
ment of the suffrage in certain South
ern States, with view to reapportIon-
ment upon the actual basis Of suffrage.
1t was finally referred to the Census
Committee, where the opposition de-
sired it TO go originally. This is a
Democratic victory.
During the consideration of the
army bill in the Senate Senator Dan
lei took occasion to say: "It is the
most proscriptive bill against the
volunteer that has ever been brought
before the Senate. Every one of our
wars has been fought by the volun-
teer, aud be has shown his worth.
Why should the Senate give the reg
ular army monopoly of the com
missions? We want the military ele-
ment In the army, but we also want
the better element-the martial, ex-
banding, intelligent element of a
free people. This bill will be beau
tlfui welcome for the Senate to hand
the returning volunteers from the
Philippines. 1t proscribes the men

wounded in little skirmish with

The British think they have th,

troll that the governor and his sub.
ordinates have been appointed.
There is no further news from,
Lord Kitchener, who, according to a
Cape Town dispatch, is calling fol-
5000 men to guard the Rand mines.
British viii use savagcs.
The sixth contingent of New Zeal
anders, 200 strong, half being Maori
natives, will sail for South Africa in
two weeks. The decision TO include
Maoris in the New Zealand contin-
gent is extremely interesting, as at
the beginning Of the war the Govern
ment promised not TO employ blacks.
The Maoris, whom the British have
decided TO use in the war against the
Beers, are widely known as the abo-
rhymes of New Zealand. When dis
covered by the whites they were
among the finest physical specimens
of the savage. The vices some of
them acquired with the advent of
white colonists, however, have caused
a rapid deterioration, and the tattooed
warriors of the old school who are left
are much superior physically and
mentally to many of the younger ma
tives. lmmoderate use of tobacco is
one cause of the decline.

lRichmond Dsspatch.I
That the case of the Beers is q sad
one, is not to be denied. Whatever
their faults, and their responsibility
for bringing on the war, they demand
sympathy from all admirers of a brave
and liberty-loving people. Nor do
we question that there is a vast deal
of individual sympathy for them
throughout Europe. But the prac-
teal fact is that there is no sympa.
thy for them in such form as can. or
will interfere with the contamination
of British dominion over the two
crstwhile republics. The future of
the Beers is thing entirely between
themselves and their conquerors, and
It is for them to make or mar it.
Hence it would seem that KRUGER

news of the failure of his mission be |

which took mp the cudgel and de-

THE CRISIS IN CHINA.

The Emperor is preparing to return

not enter the city until most of the
allied troops leave.
Gen. Chaffee has cleared himself of
suspicion of participating in any of
the footing expeditions which are
said IN some quarters to be going on
in China, under the disguise of punt

ii Hung Chang has suffered a
relapse, and because of the serious

CHAFFEE NO LOOT.

That sounds mighty like Chinese
lingo, but tbs not. 1t is distinctively
an American characteristic. To one
who has read closely the doings of
the allies in the land of the Celes-
tials he must have become impreg
mated with disgust at the barbarous
conduct of the so called civilized
troops who have oyerrun portions of
that country. Because the "heathen

was no excuse, we maintain, in their

The Cloths and Vandals never dis
played more barbarity than some of
the European troops have recently
done in China. Their first impulses
lead them to break open and rob the
pagodas, temples and banks, and
silver, jewels and money flowed like
mountain torrents-so we are in

Their second impulse led to un.

CATION of these heinous atrocities.
Most gladly do we find that the
American soldiers were entirely free
from participation in such crimes.

soldiers of the other powers, particu-

"COTTON IS KING"

Commenting on conditions in the South, the New York Commercial, which is a close observer of the South. says:
 In 1S9S-99 the enormous output of l1.274,S40 bales of cotton in the Southern states brought in only $2S2- 772,9S7 in money; in 1S991900 a to- tai of 9,436,41G bales yielded S363.- 7S4 1920, while in-i90o-01 a crop c, 10.3S3,4 bales sold for S494.5G7 ,543. An increase in the total output a sharp increase in the price. Two conditions that have rarely gone :o- gether A jump from S3S.55 per bale one year to $47.63 per bale the next. This was an advance of 23l5 per cent in the selling price of a product that constitutes the leading industry of great section of country and it took into that section an increase of $l30, 7S2 ,729 from the selling price of the year before.
 Is it to be wondered at that there is bounding prosperity everywhere in the South-that her cotton planters have, in the main ceased to be Dor rowers, and that there is more than enough money there to pay all the bills? A bound in two years from S2S.62 a bale to $47.63 bale is rise in value that might well cause steel baron or a coal baron or an oil magnate' to ask himself what he is in business for anyway. For after all, cotton is king
 The Commercial says it is the mis- fortune of the South that her great crop is "stape'-a product that is in demand every minute of every day in the year-because it is tempta- tion to the planter to anticipate his harvest and sell his cotton before it is gathered. However it is this very thing the Commercial considers misfortune that has made cotton king
