The Amerlcanists in session last week
In New York discussed many things Of
general interest One OF these was the
unity OF the native races OF this c0nti-

OF one race, modified only by the dlf-
ferent circumstances In which they
have been placed According TO the
Americanists this theory is not accept

cid site for the building Of the new city

brought up again, on motion to IN

to the council that the change was IN

There Is too much OF a disposition

personal animosltes and political or

every supporter Of good government
snould do his best to stamp them out Of

The rights Of the Mayor should be
fully upheld, but excess Of authority
and endeavors to annoy and hinder
where he cannot stop action by the
council, should not be approved by the
press or the public. The City Council
IS as Independent In It's sphere as the

to the most important, commercially,

states would gain the only advantage

ment, and would like this quasi alli-
ance with the United States. In case
Denmark retained two OF her Islands,
she would establish a fine steamship
service to the West indies. In our judg-
ment this substitute treaty which the
Danes have In mind Is better for the
interests Of the United States than the
treaty that has Just been rejected.

The second table does not take into

except as far as the maintenance Of
an extra police force Is concerned,
And neither Of the tables counts as loss
to the donors the considerable sums
donated 10 the striking miners. 1t is
very clear that II one table is exag-
gerated, the other Is too conservative,
and the real truth would have TO be
sought somewhere between the two.
But even at the lowest figure, the loss
Is tremendous.
The strike lasted but a little over Ave
months, and it cost as much as III.

tent arguments in favor Of compulsory
arbitration. That point should not

WOMEN AND WAR,

A field cornet In the Boer army Mr..
Otto de Thompson, is quoted as having
said that the Boer women are almost
extinct as a consequence Of the late
war He has recently been In st. Louis
for the purpose of perfecting arrange
ments for the colonization Of 5000 Beers
In Missouri. In the course Of an inter-
view, says the Kansas city World, DR..
Thompson was asked how many women
he thought there would be in the colony
and he replied:
"Ah, the women Where are theyY
We have none to speak Of now They
will be few--yery few OF them-in this
colony. The Boer women are no more.
The flower Of our families has gone.
The reooncentrado camps brought
about their death. How many died In
these human slaughter pens God only
knows. The lists Of dead have not

be for Some time. When they are, the
story will appal civilization, The truth
must come out at last-it cannot be
hushed forever. The flower OF our
families has gone
That is a sad view Of modern war,
which has adopted the system OF con-
centration Of non -combatants, EVIDENT
ly for the purpose OF striking down
those whom modern civilization has
exempted from death by the more d.
rect modes OF warfare. The concen-
ttation system should be abolished as
barbarous, It's effects were seen In Gu
ba, and In all probability they have
been bad IN Africa, too The world
needs such women as the Boer women
were--heroes themselves, and mothers
and sisters Of heroes. The loss of such
women In cruel warfare Is really a loss
to the entire world.
