Rounding Cape Hern.

The Isthmian canal will not only
save 10000 miles in the voyage be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
but-and this is fact less frequently
dwelt upon-it will avoid some of the
toughest navigating known to seamen.
To sail ship round Cape Horn in
the teeth Of the prevailing desperate
westerly gales is the supreme test Of
seamanship, and sometimes of human
endurance.
A Maine shipmaster, who has dou-
bled the Cape thirty-two times, re.
Gently told the Boston Seaman's
Friend Society that in his sixteen
westerly passages only twice did he
get "a fair slant Of wind" and make
comfortable passage. All the other
times there were weeks of battling
with adverse gales before the 200 miles
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
waters were traversed.

gellan in 1920 had pushed his way
through the straits bearing his name
and become the first to find a west
ern way from the Atlantic to the Pa

But the straits of Magellan, tortu-
GUS, windy and narrowing in places
to the width of mile or so, involve
such great difficulties that in general
only steam vessels attempt them. The
United States battleship Oregon was
brought through those waters in 1898,
on her memorable voyage from the
western coast; but powerful steam
ships are often beaten back and de-

the trusts have been fostered while
he sat on the district bench. Accord
ing to William r. Merriam, Director
of the Census, there were in the Unit
ed States in 1900 as many as 1873 of
these industrial consultations" as
he euphemistically calls them. And
+, then the former governor Of Mime
sofa goes on to say:
''The 1873 combinations extend to al
most all lines of industry, producing
articles of luxury, materials essential
to the upbuilding and growth of the
country, and even the very necessities
of life. Fully so per cent Of these
combinations We're chartered just prior
to or during the census year; and it is
noteworthy that the epidemic of In
dustrial consolidation, as far as the
so-called monopolies are concerned,
has been practically confined to the
past four years. 1t is evident, there
| fore, that the disease-if it be regarded
as such-has spread very rapidly"
That "the disease has spread very
rapidly" nobody will deny Judge
MCGEE will certify to the fact that it
has spread too rapidly for him, and to
provide for his family he gives up n
fixed salary and goes back to the
practice Of his profession.
Judge MCGEE has displayed consid-
cradle sagacity in resigning his seat
on the bench to resume the practice
of law. A good attorney like Judge
MCGEE can make more money at the
bar than $4,000 year. Before going
on the bench he had lucrative prac-
tice and handled heavy cases success
fully. With Judge Lancaster as his
new partner he will have all the bust
ness he can attend to. The firm of
Lancaster & MCGEE, in point Of abil-
ity, is inferior to none in the North

The Mad Mullah.

The leader of the religious fanatics
in Somaliland, against whom Great
Britain is about to begin genuine
war, is the son Of a Somali shepherd
and is about 35 years old. His opera
lions began early in 1899, when he led
raid against neighboring tribe on
the pretext that it's members had
stolen camels from his people. He was
then an ordinary mullah, or priest,
but after a number of successful raids
he proclaimed himself the successor
of the mahdi, assumed an antagonist
ic attitude toward the British protec-
tOrate government, and announced
that he intended to rule the interior,
leaving the coast to the Europeans.
Great Britain, with the Boer war on
it's hands, was unable to furnish suf-
fcient protection to the friendly or
neutral natives, with the result that
thousands of them Joined the mad
mullah, being given the choice of do
ing so or being raided. In March.
1900, he attacked an Abyssinian expe-
dition Of 1900 men sent against him,
and although he lost $500 men and
retreated, the ferocity Of his attack in
spired Menelik's troops with such a
dread of him that no attempt was
made to pursue him. Three years ago
he had 5000 followers, with some
sixty rifles; now he has 10000 men, a
good percentatge of them armed with
rifles secured in raids on caravans.

years to recover. 1t has been on
piece with all our dealings in South
Africa-our selling Of the Kimberley
Diamond Fields by contemplate
trick; our treachery towards Loben-
gula; our system of forced and inden-
tured black labor which is, in reality,
slavery; the hypocritical annexation
Of Bechuanaland, from which we
drove the blacks and divided their
farms among the whites; our raids
upon the Matabele; our bogus Treat
les. 1t is record of shame, crime,
and dishonor. And this is what is
called Imperialism!

1890 by 1900 majority. On each
occasion he was strenuously opposed

A dispatch from South Africa says
that number Of former Boer com.

England to fight the Mad Mullah of
Somaliland and his warlike Arab fol-

true. The Beers who lost their own
freedom should be the last to help
England in depriving others of their

THE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE.

During the recent congressional con-
test, the friends of Loren Fletcher pro-
claimed that the Irish of the First
ward would vote for him in large
numbers. They based their assertions
on the fact that some of them cast
their votes for him on Sept. 1G, know
ing that Lind did not need their sup
port for his nomination. But on Nov.
4, the Irish of the First ward voted
for John Lind and the other Democrat
ic candidates.
This is made manifest by Lind's ma
jority in the ward. In 1892 he re-
ceived TO votes more than Eustis; in
1900, he received GS5 votes over Van
SAINT; and in 1902 he ran ahead of
Fletcher by 1858 votes, the highest ma
jority he ever received in the ward.
In our opinion, these figures prove
conclusively that the Irish voters of
that ward stood by Lind in the recent
election.
We have no hesitation in avowing
that in previous campaigns Loren
Fletcher received large Irish vote;
but that was owing to the fact that
the Democratic candidates opposed to
Fletcher stood no chance Of being
elected. 1t was different affair when
John Lind was the Democratic NOM
inee. From his opening speech in the
Exposition building up to the night be.
fore election, the Democrats of all ma.
tionalities believed that he would de.
feat Fletcher, and hence they voted
for him almost to a man.
The arguments used by Peterson and
Hay against Fletcher in the primary
campaign contributed largely to
I4ind's victory. AS it was, Lind's ma.
jority was only 1912. Fletcher was
undoubtedly the strongest man the Re
publicans could nominate. A lot OF
money was spent in his behalf, the
press was solid for him, and the cor.
porations used all the influence they
possessed. In view of these facts it is
surprising that Lind polled such a
large vote. In an interview he ac
counts for his victory as follows:
"First-That a large majority of the
people are determined to secure tariff
revision and the repeal of those SEIZED
ules in our present tariff which serve
no other purpose than to foster mo
>nopoly.
"Second-That the energy, enter
prise and capital of our city is opposed
to being further hampered in the de
velopment of our industry and com
merce by legislation which, for the
purpose of securing inordinate gai1
to few private interests, deprives us
Of the opportunity to participate III
the commerce of the imperial domain
to the north of our state line and from
supplying that region with the pro
ducts Of our industry"
| We again repeat that the Irish de-
lection from Lind, spoken Of by
Fletcher's supporters, was more myth.
ical than real. The leading Irishmel
Of the city were enthusiastic friends
of Lind and took the platform for him
in all the wards. The Irish-American
John Lind club was organized in the
Ninth ward and he carried it by S61
majority over Fletcher, or 80 votes
more than he got in 1900 over Van
SAINT This is enough in support of
our contention that John Lind had no
/ truer friends in the recent campaign
than the citizens of Irish birth or
descent

evening Archbishop Ireland said: GAS
sure as fate, although you and I may
not see it, the starry banner will wave
mistress over tile territory from the

Hudson's Bay. What he says may

events, but he will not live to see Can
ada absorbed by the United States.
