which their crimes provoke and re-
solved only that the government shall
be so carried ON that the interests of
themselves and their own class shall
be preserved at the cost of the inter-
ests and happiness of the community.
What care these proud patricians
for the sufferings Of Ireland so long as
they can maintain the ascendancy of
the landlords there? This is the whole
trouble in Ireland. For centuries the
Irish people have been bled by the
greedy absentee owners of the soil as
ruthlessly as the Indian people have
been bled by their Anglo-Indian ex-
+ploiters. India was a rich country
when we went there, but since the
days of Give we have taxed the ma
'tives to the extent of thousand mil
lions for home charges alone, with the
result that seventy millions of the peo-
pie are now so hopelessly impover
ished that, according to Mr.. Thorburn,
an able Indian administrator, no i'm
aginable reform can possibly do them
amy good.
How much Of the wealth of Ireland
has been drained out of it since the
English occupation it, is impossible to
estimate. The result has been the en-
igration of the flower of her manhood
and the appalling poverty of the bulk
of those Of her peasantry who have
Nbeen compelled to remain at home.
rThen we talk about the disloyalty of
the Irish people. To what, asks Mr..
T. w. Russell, an ex-Unionist minister,
should the Irish people be loyal? To
starvation? To land system which
for centuries has robbed them and all
belonging to them? ;. Yet there never
has been people in the worlds his
tory who have been more loyal to no.
bic aspirations and great ideas. That
is the reason why no coercion has ever
subdued them and why Ireland's cause
will yet triumph in spite of persecu-
ton and in spite of the treachery of
so-called Liberals, who won their way
to parliament by hypocritical profess
sion of faith in Mr.. GladstOne's home
rule policy.
That policy, however, is bound to
triumph in the near future whatever
fresh sufferings Ireland may have to

well says, "Other peoples have given

bidding of the sword. Other races
have sold the glories of their past and
the hopes of their future for a mess
of pottage, as il there was nothing
nobler in mans destiny than to feed

centuries of suffering and sacrifice,

The Duluth News-Tribune says that
Miles is "a general of an inferior
class" Indeed! Are Roosevelt and
Root his superiors in military knowl-
edge and experience? The head and
front of Miles offending is that he is
not a Republican lickspittle and often
sive partisan like Funston. Miles was
reprimanded by Teddy for defending
Schley, while Funston was invited to
dinner for his blackguardism of emf
nent Americans.

The British government is quite
ready to promise the Beers anything

for peace. Have they yet learned that
England has never kept promise

THE COMING WAR IN THE EAST.

= ASAAA Wv pA dSDCCL vi Tie
Eastern question: it is safe to pre-
dict that England will soon have an
other war on her hands. Coming
events cast their shadows before"
says the Scotch poet. England be-
holds the shadows that presage one of
the greatest wars in her history, and
for which she is utterly unprepared,
on account Of her stupendous blunder
in South Africa.
Since the capture of Methuen, Eng
land is leaving no stone unturned to
make peace with the Beers; but moth
ing less than complete independence
from British control, both now and
hereafter, will satisfy the Dutch pa
triOts whose homes have been de-
strOyed and whose families have been
used worse than slaves by the ma
4auding mercenaries of the cruelest
empire OH earth.
AS in the war Of the American revo-
luton, England has armed savages
employed in her service against the
Beers. AS many as 5000 of them have
been committing all kinds of depreda-
lions under England's bloody flag; but
in spite of butchery and burning, ban
ishment and starvation, the burghers
of the veldts will never surrender I'M
til the last man of them has sacrificed
his life on the altar of his country.
With England's army tied up in
South Africa, Russia sees her oppor-
tunity to push onward toward India.
In her desperation, England has taken
Japan as an ally to thwart Russia's
progress in Asia. She has tried to
find an ally in Europe but failed, and
like drowning man grasping at a
straw, she took Japan, semi-civilized
nation, in her extremity.
The treaty entered into between
Great Britain and Japan has not in
undated Russia bit. In the COM
pact, England has agreed to let Japan
fight single-handed, but promises to
keep other nations back from aiding
Russia. She has big navy and Ia
bors under the delusion that no Euro
pean power would dare to meet it on
the briny deep There is where Eng
land is mistaken. France is not afraid
of meeting England ON water, and by
way of emphasizing that fact, Fran
co-Russian alliance has been formed.
That means that if Japan, from any
cause, gets involved in war with Rus
sia, France will aid her ally. 1T is
clear notice to England she cannot
scare France on sea. According to
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, the
peace of Europe is in the hands of the
Asiatic power with which England is
linked.
A London correspondent asks would
America remain neutral in case of a
war between the allied European pow
ers. 1t undoubtedly would. John
Hay, however, would be willing to
help the Mother Country, no matter
what the outcome, but the administra-
ton would not dare to plunge this
country into war over any "entangling
alliances" of European powers.
There is no doubt but that England's
object In encouraging America to grab
the Philippine Islands was in anticipa-
ton of aid from this country in the
event of the war now impending in

stripped by the Beers are held respon-

effect of such treatment will be that

than be captured and then fined so
heavily.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, of the 22d says: Representative C.. L. Pool of Calhoun county was in the city last night and related the story Of bloody tragedy that was enacted in the western part of Columbia county Saturday night. Mir. Pool was unable, however, to give the names.
 A citizen of the county sold d tract of land for $500 cash, and two of his neighbors. aware of the transaction, went to his home the following even- ing and proposed 'possum hunt.
 The man departed with his neigh bors. Soon afterward d peddler drove up to the house and requested lodging for the night. The house wife told the peddler to take his team to the barn and return to the house, which he did in short time. When he reached the dwelling he found two negroes inside, who had just mur dered the hostess by severing her head from the body with knife.
 The peddler shot and killed the two negroes aud immediately aroused the neighborhood. An examination revealed that the supposed negroes were in reality white women in dis guise, and were the wives Of the two men who had. an hour previously, gone hunting with the woman's hus- band. The latter, failing 10 leturn, a search was instituted, and his body was found in the woods, where he had been murdered by his treacher- ous neighbors. A posse at once went in pursuit of them, but had not ef- fected q capture at latest accounts.

TO THE TAXPAYERS.

The following resolutions were adopted by the republican convention of Yavapai county, and covering as they do the future government of the county by republican success are worthy of consideration in the line of retrenchment and reform which is pledged accordingly:
 Resolved, That we pledge our nom- inees for the legislature to work and vote for a legislative bill fixing the salaries of all county officers at a fixed and certain sum per annum, and that all fees collected by any officer of a county be turned into the county treasury, and that no county officer receive any other or further sum by way of fees or otherwise except the salary to be fixed by law.
 Resolved, That the rate of taxation in the Territory of Arizona is exces- sive. and we hereby pledge our nOm- inees for the legislature and the board of Supervisors to thoroughly investigate this subject, and to en- deavor to lower the present exorbitant rate of taxation by the enactment of proper legislative laws and by just and equitable taxation of all property in the Territory of Arizona.
