HORRORS of THE CHRISTIAN m
VASION.

If the board of foreign missions in
stead of wasting its energies attempt
Ing to justify its grab for Chinese in
demnity Doodle would turn the search
lights of Christianity onto the doings
Of the Christian soldier in China. with
q view to saving the helpless heather
from damnable outrages perpetrated
by the invaders, they would do a work
more in line with the precepts Of Him
Whom they pretend to serve.
Recent reports to the State Depart
ment at Washington tell a horrible tale
Of wholesale suicide OF women in
China. According to a Chinese GUS
tom when a Chinese matron is abused
by a white man she notified her own
family and that of her husband, at the
same time announcing that on a GER
tain date she will depart this life. No
remonstrance is made and invariably
the woman carries out her plan.
The board of foreign missions doubt
less will throw up its hands in pious
horror at this wicked heather custom
Of self-murder to wipe the stain of dis
honor from the helpless and pitiful vic
tim of the white mans bestial Grim
inality. and compare it unfavorably
with the practices of civilization. But
1t is the Chinese way. If the defiled
Chinese m did not commit suicide
and escaped death at the hands of her
relatives her standing in society would
be forever gone, though she might be a
blameless victim.
So it is quite evident, as any one
may see, that China is sadly in need
of civilization. In our own high So
cial circles-in the Fou. Hundred for
instance-they don't do things in that
heathenish fashion. There a word to
the divorce court judge and a hearing
behind closed doors and all is made
smooth for the erring social queen.
That is the method in civilized Chris
ton lands. 1t is the sort of thing
Christianity is trying to inculcate into
the obstinate heather by the aid of
rifles and machine guns.
In the meantime Europe's soldiers
are demonstrating how Christians can
act on occasion when out from under
all restraint but the fear of the Chris
tian God. We are told that so ex-
tensive have been the crimes OF the
white soldiers that in many villages
and small towns, rome have prac-
ideally disappeared. 1t is reported to
the State Department that in many vii
lagos it is difficult to find a female
person over the age Of ten years
and under the age of fifty.
1t is a matter for sincerest congrat-
nlation that no complaint of this char
Rcter has been made against soldiers
of the United States. 1t is also stated
that the Russian soldiers as a rule
have not participated in these devil
ish outrages and have been exceed
ingly moderate in asserting their
power in the province which Russia
proposes to annex.
Here again the Russians and Ameri-
cans, whose governments are diametri-
cal opposites, meet on the same high
plane of honor and justice in China.
All honor, therefore, to the soldiers of
the Gear and our boys in blue.

ADMINISTRATIVE EMBARRASSED.

ADMINISTRATION EMBARRASSED.
The President is said to be embar-
raised by the suit instituted at New
Orleans in the federal court to enjoin
further shipments of horses and mules
by the British government to South
Africa for use in the war against the
Boer republics.
The State Department has been be-
seiged with protests from American
citizens against the aiG that is being
given the British. Officials of the
State Department seek TO justify non
interference by saying the sale of
munitions of war or ~contraband goods
to a %belligerent does not constitute an
offense. They declare the sales may
be made by American citizens and that
the purchasers must take the risk Of
confiscation upon the high seas. 1t is
well known, however, that the South
African republics have no ships and
are powerless to intercept the ship
ments.
There is plainly no desire IN the part
of the administration at Washington
to interfere. The excuses given for
non-interference are untenable, AMI
wholly at variance with the same Off
Gals vigilant attitude during the Gu
ban rebellion against Spain, before We
declared wal on the latter country.
We all remember at that time how Wig
liant the same authorities at Wash
ington were in intercepting fllibuste~-
ing expeditions leaving our shores
to aid the Cubans. The present situa-
ton is precisely similar, with the ex-
ception that our neutrality is being
openly violated by the authorities at
Washington in permitting the British
to openly ship their supplies from our
ports for military use against the
| South African republics.
1t has been reported repeatedly to
| Washington that the British govern
ment has been and is now making use
of the port of New Orleans as a base
of military operations and that Brit
ish ships have made regular trips to
that port loading and carrying away
munitions of war for use against The
Beers. But the officials are utterly in
different to these things. Indeed, they
state that the injunction proceedin gs
instituted by Gen. Pearson and E. Van
Ness won't amount to anything and
won't stop the shipments of the Brit
ish. They say that if the federal court
should grant the injunction asked the
Supreme Court would be asked to over
rule the decision; and the administra-
! ton seems to think it only necessary
to ask it to have the Supreme Court
do so.
The rank favoritism of the admins
tration for the British against the
South African republics may one lay
rise up to plague the government at
! Washington, which in the course Of
imperial events may find itself placed
in a position where strict neutrality
on the part of other powers may be de-
sirable.
Meanwhile, the wretched Beers.
driven from pillar to post, their free
| governments all but destroyed, have
no friends abroad and hence no rights
which imperial powers, including that
! at Washington, are bound to respect.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive. cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed or the front of every package.
