But most of the great benefactors have
started to look for a definite thing,
aided thereto by the hints and expert
mental research Of other men.
In regard to the university's employ

an says: 1.-THE readers of the Com

ters to the attention Of their republi-

attacks which are being made upon
American ideas and fundamental prin-
ciples Of free government"
As to the form Of the editorial in
question, it is no better and no worse
than the ones with which the read
ers of The Commoner are familiar.
Mr.. Bryan is not in the habit Of pay
ing any attention to even the ele-
mentary rules of English composition
when he writes an editorial. As to the
rules of English adopted even by the
least distinguished among editors, Mr..
Bryan might be in a trance for all the
attention he pays to them. I can not
believe that even Mr.. Bryan does not
know that ''it'' can commit no crime;

still, but the avowed and working
principle by which all the colonies are
held and administered is the develop
ment Of colonial interests first. II
Australia and Canada were for only
few months administered solely in the
interests Of England. the island gov
eminent would have q war to wage
simultaneously in two quarters Of the
globe.
As a matter of fact these two coun-
tries manage their own affairs. An
attempt on the part Of England to in
terfere in any internal development of
trade or with advantageous CONNER
cial relations with other countries
would be Immediately resented. The
connection is somewhat formal and Is
as much a matter of pride and of his
torical habit to the Australians and
Canadians as to Englishmen. This Is
the third stage which colonial develop
ment has reached. No country can
hold another peaceably by operating
any other system. To hold a country
by force of arms for any length of
time is no longer the answer to the
question.
This is a day Of combination. The
United States has taken a new partner.
Just as soon as the partner develops
the power Of Initiative and of execu-
tive ability the Filipinos can run their
own affairs. The connection with the
United States will be for mutual profit
and reputation. Otherwise the United
States can not hold the islands. A
business that does not pay has a short
life.
All that the United States proposes
to do with the Philippines Is to hasten
evolution, to force the islanders to skip
or curtail some Of its first stages.
What man has done man can do. The
children of Israel were successfully
brought into intimate relations with
the civilizations of several nations.
They extracted the best and most per-
manent parts of these civilizations and
went their way. Their development
from the nomadic stage was very
rapid And partly in consequence their
legacy to humanity is the richest leg
acy Of all.

Rights of Man: I'm the beginning of

political institutions Of the Hebrew

found a clearer definition than in the
statement Of the Great Prophet Of the
New Judaism, He that Is greatest

history of Europe from the first to the
nineteenth century may be regarded as
the history Of the conflict between
these two conceptions of life and Of the

Predatory Wealth

Predatory, according to Webster's
dictionary. means characterized by
plundering, practicing rapine, pillag-
ing. hungry, ravenous. We should
know the dictionary definition of this
word in order to compare it with the
meaning attached to 1t by Mr.. Bryan
in his personal organ, the Commoner.
He cannot mean that all wealth is
predatory, because by the judicious ex-
ploitation of two nominations for the
presidency Of this country he has made
money enough to buy twenty-five or
thirty acres in the suburbs Of Lincoln
and to erect there a large and pluto
cratic barn and dwelling house, an edi-
flee which Mr.. Morton Of The Con-
servative refers to as "The House that
Cab Built" But only few have Mr..
Bryan's gifts and he can not mean
that the man who accepts his stric-
lures must remain poor unless he can
secure q nomination for the presi-
dency and enter the bristling ranks of
plutocracy by .chsrging the party

bIes i'm London.

LONDON, May 31-The Associated Press
learns that he United States cruiser San
Francisco is now on her way to the United
States after making exhaustive surveys
and semi-diplomatic negotiations regarding
a United States coaling station in the West
African republic Of Liberia. Until Captain
Asa Walkers report is received in Wash
ington the actual result Of the trip cannot
be foretold. but in view of the previous
adverse report, made after the United
States cruiser Montgomery's last trip to
Liberia. 1t is evident that Monrovia, the
capital is considered of much Importance
by both the State and Navy departments
at Washington. Should any such arrange
ment contemplated be concluded constd-
cradle adverse comment and possible an
tagonistic action may be apprehended both
from France and Germany, who are keep
ing very close watch on the colored re-
public, which adjoins their West African
territories. From Great Britain, which at
present controls the major part OF Liberia
commerce, no protest is likely to be forth
coming.
In connection with Liberia a curious in
cident occurred this week. The son of one
of the members of the Liberian Cabinet
came to London to learn English ways of
business. To what extent American ideas
and the desirability of catering 10 Amer1-
can customs have invaded English life can
be judged from the fact that the young
negro was refused accommodation at al
most all the hotels. After great difficulty
he was given a room in private hotel in
BlOOmsberry, where he was shut up in one
apartment, owing to fear that the Amerl-
can guests would find out that colored
man was staying there. Eventually the
Liberian was transferred to a boarding
house where no Americans were staying.
To find such a place was no easy task,
ard il was found in an ariStocratic quarter
of London. A few years ago a colored man
in London was rather paid especial respect.

Declines to Recommend Sir Edward

His Majesty's DispIeasure.
REBUFF FROM AN ARISTOCRAT
HOW THE DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH
HUMBLED A MONARCH.
Latter Wanted One of His Favorites
ut a Dinner, but His command"
Was FIatIy Ignored.

LONDON, May 31.-Those in touch with
royal circles are gossiping about the
ported difficulty between Lord Salisbury
and King Edward, which is said to have
arisen on account of the Kings demand
that the premier recommend Sir Ernest
Cassel for a peerage. Last year the same
request met with a refusal This year 1t
was again refused by the King. on the
ground Of Sir Ernest's munihcent gift
Of 10000 for the cure of consumption
The premier absolutely refused to coun-
tenance the suggestion and at the end of a
stormy interview, which occurred the day
the state dinner was held at buckingham
Palace, Lord Salisbury remarked:
well, sir, 1 suppose 1 had better leave
my place at to-night's banquet vacant?" to
which the King is said to have replied:
Yes, think you had" and stalked out of
the room.
Since then, according to court gossip, the
King and his aged prime minister have
scarcely been on speaking terms.
Another incident which is causing consid-
cradle commotion in court circles is the
disagreement between King Edward and
the Duchess of BuccIeuch, a member Of the
old style. exclusive aristocracy, who has
not countenanced the so-called smart set"
The King was to dine with the Duke and
Duchess Of Buccleuch and intimated his de-
sire that lady of his surrounding be in
vited. This is usually tantamount to a
command, but the Duchess of Buccleuch,
nothing daunted. refused point blank to ask
one Of the Kings friends to make one of
the dinner party. His Majesty was furious
and threatened to cancel his promise to dine
with the Buccleuchs, whereat the Duchess
OF Buccleuch retOrted that she was quite
willing TO send her resignation as mistress
OF the robes TO Queen Alexandria. Later in
the day the King thought better of II, in
formed the BuccleuchS that he accepted
the exclusion of his favorite and forbade
the duchess to resign.
Many members of the nobility, especially
old country families, make no secret of
their disapproval OF various events of the
Kings social life

which, in turn, is caused by thickening
and obstruction OF the cerebral arteries.
In the case of this distinguished naval
commander it was natural, perhaps. for
the public to see in his death a possible
result of the mental perturbation. the
worry and chagrin TO which unfortunately
he had recently been subjected and yet
we can see no valid reason for such an in
depreciation. Such a death as that of Ad-
miral Sampson is a purely physical affair.
We can imagine no degree Of worry that
could cause arterial scierosis. This lesion
occurs in all sorts and conditions Of men
and women. Ii is of slow onset and grad
ual process, and is due to vito-chemical

popular with sentimentalists. but IL is in
accord with physiological facts. Admiral
Simpsons death would probably have re-

the Spanish war had never been waged or

destined to be fought with even more ardor
on the land than il had been on the sea.

the fact that the second colored man ever
ordained to the cathedral priesthood in
this country will receive holy orders on
that day at the hands Of Cardinal Gibbons
The colored candidate is the Rev. ]. Harry

colored man ordained in this country was
the Rev. c. r. Uncles III the cathedral
Dec. 13, 1891. Father Uncles, who is a
member of the Josephite Order, is now sta
toned in Delaware. Another cOlOred
priest, Father lotion, who died few years

Father Dorsey will labor among his own
people.
