pIutOcracy in instruction.

According to the Boston Herald,
''Mr. Alleyne Ireland, F. R. G. S., the
English expert on tropical COLOMBIA
tion," has been employed as an in
Structor in the University Of Chicago.
HE goes as special commission Of the
university to the far east and will de-
vote three years to the study Of the
condition and government of Europe
an colonies in Asia" He is also to
bring back ian entirely unbiased" re-
port of the Philippine problem. Upon
his return,in 1905 he is to occupy 1.-THE
chair of colonial history, politics and
commerce which will be created for
him at the university"
Mr.. ireland is already writer Of
some prominence, his book on "Tropi-
cal Colonization" being his most i'm
portant work. Attention is called to
this matter because it is one of the
many evidences OF the studied and
concerted effort on the part Of pluto
crazy to change public sentiment and
substitute the doctrines Of Europe for
the doctrines of America. Here is =
great university endowed by the chief
stakeholder in one Of the greatest and
most extortionate of trusts. The
Standard Oil company is the most
open and notorious law-breaker in the
United States, beside which petty
criminals who are in the penitentisry
seem insignificant. It not only con-
trolls the oil business but is reaching
out for the monopoly OF other branch
es of business, and already its Ne "
York bank exertS a potent influence
on national finances. The institution
endowed by this prince of trust mag
nets sends to England for champion
of the colonial idea, publishes the fact
that he is to be sent to Asia to study
the colonial problem and then is to
occupy chair and give to American
students the advantage (?) Of his ma
tural bias in favor Of monarchica1 in
| situations and the results Of his biased
investigations as to colonial govern
ment.
1t is not necessary for US to wait
until his return to know what his in
structioniw be. The whole tenor
of it will be to cultivate a contempt
for the doctrines set forth in the De-
claration of Independence and to cul-
| tivate a love for the doctrines Of con-
quest and spoliation. He is to write
articles for American magazines and
his views will be spread broadcast as
the views of learned and ''unbi-
aSed" man.
The readers of the Commoner are
urged to bring these matters to the
attention Of their republican neigh
bers in order that the rank and file of
the republican party may know of the
inSIdiouS and persistent attacks which
are being made upon American ideas
and the fundamental principles of free
government.-C

Slavery ln--The Philippines.

A bill introduced by Representative
Patterson of Tennessee to abolish
slavery in the Philippines and other
dependencies hits a vulnerable mark
in the republican administration. The
bill puts the republicans in congress
in tight place, for they must either
vote for the resolution or undertake
the defence of slavery. Mr.. Patter-
son found his opportunity in the
agreements made between the United
States and the Sultan OF Sulu in Aug.
1899. At the time there was active
rebellion in Luzon and some of the
other islands, and it was desirable
that the Sultan of Sulu should be kept
quiet. To that end General Bates en-
tered into an agreement with the SUI
tan, which provided for a recognition
of the United States authority over
the archipelago of Jolo, and also of
the rights and dignities of his high
ness the Sultan and his datoS."
The agreement provided further
that their religion LOT which polyganiy
Is a part,) should not be interfered
with. and contained in this clause re-
coznizinG slavery: ANY slave in the
archipelago of Jolo shall have the
right to purchase freedom by paying
to the master the usual market value. I"
This agreement was confirmed and
approved by President. Mckinley, SUBJ
ject to the action of the treaty of
Paris, which giveSu to congress tie
power to determine the civil rights
and the political status of the native
inhabitants of the territory ceded by
Spain to the United States.
Mr. Patterson 8 bill is timely, and il
will make the republican double-deal-
ers squirm and wriggle, for they are
on delicate ground in this matter as
the representatives. OF the party that
was especially built for the abolition
of slavery.

Charge British With crueltles.

President Kruger has received from
General Delarey, the Boer leader, who
recently. captured General Methuen,
narrowing stories of alleged crueltieS
perpetrated by the British. He says
Boer women were placed as a human
screen around the British as a pro-
lection against his attacks and that
number of them had already been
wantonly killed.
General Delarey s own wife has been
prosecuted by General Methuen's or
ders for twelve months, and now is
wandering about the veldt with her
SIX children.
Delarey's mother, aged 49, he claims
has been driven from KlerkSdorp, after
being robbed of her cattle and her
house was burned. The Boer general
enumerates specific cases in which de-
fenseless women were shot and also
tells OF the cold hlooded murder OF
prisoners,

donkey is known through the region
as BILLY the Boozer," states the New

The little animal lad his ears nat,

drowned the roar of broadway in his

the crowd rose to ecstasy when the
policeman passed behind and the tiny
hoofs few out, nearly kicking him in
the head. The rider admitted that both
he and the donkey had had many
drinks, and tho policeman threatened
to lock them both up on q charge Of
being drunk and disorderIy, when the
man sent for pail of beer. The DON
key swallowed it greedily, the ears re-
sumed pleasantly erect position, and
he trotted smiably homeward.

Tho habit Of swearing had grown
among them uHtiI it was Eoticed by
the principal. He called them to-

wickedness and folly of profanity
suggested q remedy. He had pre-
pared a tin medal to be worn by the
last fellow using cuss word. and
this, he said, would be hung on the
wall till the first oath was uttered,
when the swearer must wear it till
the next man swore, and so on. The
boys agreed to the plan and the
medal was hung up In view of all.
THE noon recess came and in Ave
minutes several of the boys came
running in to get the medal. John
Smith had used an oath and they
wanted to pin the medal on him.
John did not wear it long, for an
other boy soon forgot himself and
the medal was transferred. Before
the close of the aoon recess seven or
eight had worn it. For several days
it changed hands pretty often and
went nearly the round of the school
