CHAMBERLAIN CREATES A STORM.

A dispatch from Loudon, dated Nov 23d,
says:
"Once more has Joseph Chamberlain the
colonial secretary, proved his right and title to
be the me st thoroughly hated British statesman.
The storm now raging in Germany over his
animadversions on the PruSsian army has had a
powerful reflex in Great Britain, where, regard
less of party ties, Mr.. Chamberlain has been
severely criticised for uselessly putting his
foot into it, On all sides can be heard irri
tated expressions OF opinion by English bust.
ness men and politicians, who, while they per-
haps, believe Mr.. Chamberlain was correct in
what he said, denounce the uttering of such
sentiments 1t is recalled that Mr.. Chamber
lain's utterances regarding the czar and the
Anglo-G lo-German-American alliance, have been
the cause of the only serious outbreaks of anti
British feeling on the continent in recent times.
II was no exaggeration to say that the finahcial
world of England would be delighted to see Mr..
Chamberlain muzzled when intending to speak
on England's foreign relations.
Gas might be expected, Mr.. Chamberlain,
himself, takes the whole affair with his usual
cynical Indifference. He is staying quietly at
Birmingham, and is not exhibiting any partcu-
lar interest in this storm he has raised. At the
colonial Office representative of the Associated
Press was informed that Mr.. Chamberlain does
not desire to enter into any controversy, and
stands by what he said. If the German papeis
continue to misrepresent him (this is Mr..
Chamberlain's point of view, why, it cannot
be helped.
GAS at the other government departments,
hope exists at the colonial office that the whole
agitation will die a natural death and that
everything will come out all right. There is
no doubt, however, that by this latest break,
Mr.. Chamberlain has seriously, perhaps irrepar-
ably, damaged his reputation with the better
classes in England"
Germany is red-hot over the matter, and sew
eral leading papers denounce Chamberlain in
scathing terms. Indeed, the Germans are so
incensed over his utterances that there is strong
talk of war.

Radical Brother Taber.

BROTHER CHAMPE:-No one ever heard of
tramps, trusts, anarchists or hog cholera until
Republicans created them. If every anarchist
would not be ten years until Republicans would
have the country full of them again. The
opening of Pandora's box was no: circum.
stance compared with the advent of Republi.
cans. Sloshgosh, the murderer of Mckinley,
is, or was, Republican. Guiteau, the muir
thoroughbred-a stalwart of the stalwarts-and
the tool of conspiracy Of high-toned Republi-
cans. That is why he was spirited away in.
stead of being hung.
Republicans, as rule, are the most densely
ignorant animals on earth; consequently, they
are the most cowardly, blood-thirsty, treacher.
Gus, cruel, brutal beasts in the universe. The
path of Republicans is reeking with hu-
man blood and strewn with the bones of
their murdered victims. The blood of sixty
thousand men, women and children murdered
in the Philippine islands cries to Heaven for
vengeance. Republicans do not heed that cry,
but they are up against eternal law, and will
have to take their medicine.
Let any one read the daily grist of crime,
disaster and destruction now going on in this
doomed and unhappy country, and say, if they
dare, that Republicans can escape the penalties
of eternal law. l know they cannot. I am
sorry for them-I am always sorry for fools
but they are happy in their ignorance while
enjoying the blooming prosperity of financial
initiation by flooding the country with bastard
ag-baby currency that is not worth a nickel a
ton. Yes; am sorry for Republicans and
American fools generally, and they are legion.

HUDSON PRAISES HARRIS.

Gen. joe Hudson, of the Topeka Herald
(Rep.) }, pays the following tribute to Senator
Harris:
''The Herald wishes to say that Kansas has
never been honored IN the senate by more
polished or intelligent gentleman than Colonel
Harris. An ex-confederate soldier, and life
long Democrat, he became the senatorial repre-
sentative of state inherently Republican. 1t
was the result of the Populist dementia which
swept the plains of Kansas. Democrats united
with Populists, and the result of the allia ice
was the selection of Colonel Harris. His posi-
ton has been difficult one. Neither the state
nor national administration has been in har
mony with his politics. Notwithstanding this,
he has been most creditable representative,
recognized by the members of the senate as a
man of marked ability and integrity command
ing respectful attention at all times. He has
always subordinated his politics to the good of
the state. No senator has been more desirous
of securing to the many pensioners of Kansas
liberal and just treatment than Colonel Harris.
He has always been proud of being Virginian,
but never disloyal, in word or spirit, to his
adopted state. Kansans, regardless of party,
are proud of Colonel Harris as senatorial
representative"

ligion and civilization, and use the methods
employed by England, has few parallels in the
worlds history, and no atrocity of TIE dark
ages excels in horrid cruelty the concentration
of non combatants to die of slow starvation and
malignant diseases.
We are also forced to the conclusion that
there are no Christians but those who are
Christ-like in their dealings with their fellows.
AS government, England has never been
Christian. King Edward is no more Chris
tian than George III. Queen Victoria was
much less Christian than our own grand
Frances E. Willard. Since John Bright and
William E. Gladstone, no Christian statesman
has arisen i'll England, of any prominence
English rulers are not Christ-like in their deal
ings with their own people, much less in their
dealings with the peoples of other nations
English rulers, their families, the so-called
nobility, few bankers, few merchants and
few manufacturers own all the vast accumula.
tions of wealth found within the boroeIs of the
tight little kingdom. The masses are poor,
and there is as much misery to be found in
London's seven millions OF human beings as
among like number of heather Chinese.
Now, if England was Christian instead of
mastering armies of her strong young men to
wage unjust wars, she would set about creating
conditions that would enable those men to ac-
qure homes. Christianity calls for homes and
happiness; health and strength instead of death
and decrepitude

civilization. Its nobility are the useful people,
who work on farm, in mine or factory. The
mission of its founder was to uplift the down
trodden, to feed the hungry, to heal the sick,
to comfort the afflicted. The Christians King
washed the feet of His disciples to prove His
humility ard His human kinship.
England's rulers have none OF these cnarac-
teristics-nore of this humility.
English rulers despse the working classes
English rulers hate the Beers all the more in
tensely because the Beers have no kings, dukes
or lords. Boer blood is all common working
peoples blood, but it is pure red. Three hun.
dred years of trials and Affections have devel-
oped as brave and sturdy a people as there is
upon the face of the earth.
Given an army and war munitions half that
of England's, and the war would have been
both short and decisive. The Beers are fight
ing against immense odds, while the civilized
world looks on, generally silent spectator.
The United States is no better than other
naions-a little worse, perhaps. Only yester-
day. she was in blaze OF indignation because
the Spauiards mistreated the people of one OF
her colonies. An army was mustered and Spain
was forced to abandon her msrsed colony, and
then the United States went on looting expe-
dition OF her own. Is Uncle Sans tongue

CHRISTIAN BARBARISM.

L: seems, from all reports, that the policy of
Great Britain in South Africa is fully up to the
tunspeakable Turk" in inhumanity, and would
have turned Weyer, the Spanish butcher, green
with envy because of refined cruelty. And
that leads to the inquiry of whether Christian
ity is better than Mohammedanism. Moham-
medans are kind to people of their own faith.
The sn-called Christians are not.
The early Beers fled from Holland and France
to escape persecution on account of their reigi-
Gus opinions. Their Bible is the same Bible
that was professed to be used by their perse-
cutters. Prosecuted and prosecutors held to a
belief in the same Savior. The contention,
largely, was as to the form of worship.
1t was lambs fleeing from the cruel fangs,
and bloodthirsty natures of overgrown wolves,
that led to the planting of The South African
republics, The Beers stood off the savage
blacks, subdued nature, read their Bibles, wor-
shipped God in their way, and built up homes
secure in their new homes, and were fast grow.
ing up to great power for good, on the face
of the dark continent, when a dark cloud ap-
peared on the horizon of their hopes and happi-
ness. 1t was the cloud of English greed and
heartless aggression. Once, twice, the Beers
moved on. All in vain Christian England
was on their trail. That old freebooter of
thousand generations scented riches in dia-
monds and gold. A thousand years of insatia-
Bile appetite for loot was stronger than Bibles
or crucifed Sons of God. Of little weight was
the commandment, ''Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself," when tossed in the bal.
ance against gold and territory. This time, it
was not the religion of the Beers, but their
liberty, their homes, their wives and their little
ones that are assailed.
What foul hend is this that has pursued the
Beers for three hundred years with uprelenting
hate, and with cruelty that would shame the
author of human suffering, and beside which
old Satan must appear as saint.
We are forced to the conclusion that the
! ruling class of England is not Christian. Fire
and sword are not Christian weapons The
herding together of tender women and helpless
| children within pens unfit for animals is the
work, not of men, but of devils, whether Span
ish or English.
1t was bad enough for England to subdue an
| alien race sunk in heather darkness-tad in
that the race the subjugated slaves of greedy
tyrants; bad in that no people accept the re-
lgion of people by whom they are overcome,
and by whom they are ruled without their con-
sent; bad, in that no people rise in the scale
of civilization whose rulers are foreigners; bad,
in that oppressed hate eventually sweep ruled
and rulers into the pit of destruction,

Should Re-eleCt DOster.
Essex, Iowa.

Kansas City Journal.
"If the people of the state would leave it to
the lawyers, Chief Justice Doster would be re-
tained on the supreme bench for another term,"
said James Lawrence, of Wellington, the other
night. Lawrence was recently appointed judge
of the Cowey- Sumner judicial district by Gov.
Stanley.
"Judge Doster is regarded by the attorneys
of Kansas as the best chief justice the state has
ever had, and that is saying good deal,' con-
tnued Judge Lawrence.
"When he was first elected, the lawyers were
shaking in their boots We were afraid he
would tear up the earth, so to speak. But he
has fooled all of us. He is an able jurist and
should be retained on the supreme bench"

Danger I'm Prosperity.

The politicians are warning the people
against the great danger Of the threatened
prosperity to this country. Even as distin.
guished and as rich citizen as Maj. John j.
Hemphill, OF Chester, is ready TO inform the
people that there is something better and
more desirable than material prosperity, or
words to that effect
He also gave some advice against renters
going to the cotton mills for EN- ployment.
All this kindly Interest was explained few
days later In statement that Major John j.
Hemphill would probably become candidate
for the United States Senate.
Ten years ago the lamentable condition OF
poor men distressed the politicians, and they
were 80 anxious to relieve the strirgency OF
money 10 the extent OF Issuing fifty-oent
dollars.
Now, when the country Is full OF good
money, we are told that there Is something
better than material prosperity. But we are
not given the slightest hint as to what is "bet.
ter" The Ocala platform made demands for
some things or "something better" Wehave
'something BETTER" and still we are told
that there is something better than pros.

The GreenviIle Postmaster.

As we understand, Mr.. ]. F. Richardson,
several years ago, made application for the
position OF postmaster at Greenville. That
petition was endorsed by the patrons and
business men OF the city. It was held up in
Washington until Senator McLaurln inter.
esled himself In the matter. Why the appli.
cation was 30 long held up we are unable to
say; but we presume the delay might be &C.
counted for on either the non action OF the
Senators and Representatives or their lack
Of influence in Washington.
Another strange thing about this appoint
ment Is: Although Mr.. Richardson Is Just as
good man as Mr.. John q. Capers, we have
noticed no attack upon McLaurin for this last
appointment. The absence OF criticism by
the newspapers for giving official appoint
ment to Mr.. Richardson may be ominous
McLaurin caught particular fits for giving p
place to John g. Capers who is a good man
and whose lineage and family record comes
down we'll recommended for generations
Why the modified tone when another man
just as good as Mr.. Capers, receives appoint.
ment, is not understood. Those who csnno,
show wherein McLaurin is untrue to South
Carolina may be learning that If McLaurin
as they charge, Is q Republican, he appoints
mighty good Democrats to office. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Richardson may not be turned
out OF the Democratic party for making g
good postmaster.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In
Tempting Way.

How to Prepare and Serve IL III =
Tempting Way.
AS the patient begins to regain health
and strength more solid food Is given
milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or well baked
potato. Great care must be taken not
10 ovcrtax the digestive organs. ke-
lapses are often caused by too much In
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great care. A broiled BIRD or
a niece of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient Is IN a sufn-
ciently advanced stage Of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too mucn
cooked. When they are overcooked'
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream soups are valuable, as they are
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving Of food for sick
person. The faint appetite Of illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness or
the food. Serve the food on a tray with
a fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
it. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the SICK one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or little sprig Of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
attempt q vase Of flowers unless 1t be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much COL
or, so as to weary the eye. If the china
is all Of single pale tint, the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eve Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the Size
Of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains of food served stand in the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served 1mme-
diately after they are prepared. and 1t
seems superhuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all cold
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same tenn
perature.
There are a great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very Ill patients, and
It is almost always relished.

Strange.

Why good newspaper, like the News and
Courier, should vent its personal spleen.
and exhibit unfairness TO any citizen of the
State, Is a mystery to the Press and Banner.
It seems to us that that paper Is large enough
to meet argument with argument without
resort to the use Of nettles.
Our conception is that great paper like the
News and Courier should be edited on plane
that would enable the paper to be fair to oil,
while showing itself personally friendly to
all.
or course the News and Courier could
not afford to even consider a suggestion.
and we doubt not 1t will still seek to excite
against itself the feelings OF the people upon
whose good will the paper might reasonably
set q valuable estimate.
Aside from the personal attacks on
McLaurin there Ia principle involved. Mo.
Laurln secured from Washington in large
measure the results which the pets OF the
News and Courier failed TO get for the Expo.
sition. For this reason. II for no other. the
News and Courier could afford TO be fair TO
the junior Senator.
Let the News and Courier fight McLaarin
with all its ability. Let that paper, II 1t can,
grind the junior Senator into dust. And then
let that paper scatter the dust to the four
winds o. heaven, so that no trace or remem-
nerance Of him may be found. The people
honor and respect fair fighter. But public
sentiment demands fair play, and respects a
square hitter from the shoulder. The use OF
nettles, however. 10 not recognized as a proper
weapon in q just war.
This State rs not solid for McLaurin, neither
Is it unanimous for Tillman. And 1t appears
to US that the lines will be 80 divided, that
the opposition camps will be McLaurkn or
Tillman factions.
