ENGLISH STEW.

England has passed through another great
stew. The King has been sick, and the people
have been as greatly agitated as if the sun had
refused to shed his light and heat There were
bulletins, kneelings and prayings. The corona
tion did not come off. The coronation dinner
did take place. Fifty thousand people were
fed A correspondent OF the newspapers, who
viewed the hungry beggars, says that "tfe
sight was most pitiable. Many of the people
looked as if it was the first square meal of their
lives" l can we'll believe the story of the cor
respondent. The report, for years and years,
is that there was more misery in London than
in the supposable depths OF Hades. The Eng
lish could raise money to carry hell into South
Africa, but she can raise no money with which
TO drive hell from her own borders. There is
hell in the shadow of the palace, and people
went wild over the nominal head of gov
ernment that IS foul blot upon twentieth.cen-
tury civilization. Queen Victoria was kind
of whitewashed or sweet-coated pill. The
English are getting down to the naked pill.
After the pill purge.
To some people, that might not be either
here or there.
Why should Americans care if the English
government tramples her poor people into the
dust, or taxes her property holders into bank
ruptcy? Why? Is she not the "mother coun-
try"? Are we not Cousins? If we have no
ROYALTY OF our own, can we not worship at the
throne of King Edward? If the poor of Amer
lea bow to the millionaire, why not the million
aire bow to the King? And 10 whom shall the
! King bowl Charles bowed to the ak of the

executioner, and the plebeian Cromwell scat
tered the nobility of England as wind scatters
chaf.
The empire business and the tax business
ard the bowing business are all bad employ
men,s for any people to engage in Hundreds
of empires tried the experiment of a few saw
ages at the top and millions of barbarians at
the bottom, and they all, without exception,
went bankrupt.
The lesson taught America is that she doesn't
want to be too cousinly; and in apeing royal
fiunkles of the high class, or the abject fawn.
ing OF the low clas, America presents figure
tor supreme contempt to all high-bred Amer-
can citizens. England sets no example that
can be safely followed. England is no 'moth-
err" and we deny the cousinship. "America
is the child of the Skies"

Bent Murdoch on AgricuIturists.

Bent Murdock, the veteran Republican editor
of Fl Dorado, gets off the following good one
on the "agriculturists" at Washington:
The old clabber-faced barnacles are all on the
payroll. Bow-legged agriculturists, who can't
farm superannuated preachers, who can't
preach; ex-lawyers doctors and editors, de-
cayed politicians -bald-headed spectacled and
bewhiskered-who have grown blear-eyed and
decrepid writing about the number of kicks in
mules hind leg; the per cent of protein in
boiled cabbage; the number of hammers in
hammers hammer; and they are all on
the payroll, with big salaries, as naturalists,
archaologists, biologists, pomologists, meteor
ologisls entomologists, ornithologists; and theil
numbers are as the sands OF the sea, and they
belong to, and part Of, the agricultural
department, Washington-thI main part-the
whole thing, in fact and they work the con-
gress to frazzle for appropriations to pay them,
while they sit in their back offices, lolling out
their tongues while enlightehing the sovereign
squats on the subject of farming. Did you
ever see an agricultural department agricultur-
list? And did you ever see an agricultural-de-
pdltIHSul SdiuCu SSCu! WClI, luSy DOlH lOOk
alike. A bag or two of agricutural-depart-
ment garden seeds struck this town last spring,
and the packages were given to the unsophis-
ticated farmers round about; and the returns
are just coming in Speaking of agricultural
departmet "sweet coma mixture of yellow
and white Indian corn, crossed with calico
squaw, broom, flint, pop, kafir, oo-day dent,
early white Kentucky, and every known and
unkown variety grown on the continent; and
these old clabber-faced barnacles buy it by the
ton and ship it west sweet corn. Lord help
us. We have. sampled sixteen varieties this
spring, with the loss of half of our teeth, the
destruction of our stomach, while being hourly
threatened with lockjaw. And yet, this land
of the free and home of the brave goes right
on employing these old clabber-faced barnacles
to pay sweet-corn prices for this hermaphrodite
stuff to be given to the honest farmers while
trying to make them believe that it is good to
eat. If congress will pass an act compelling
the old codgers to eat some of this hybrid abor-
ton, the graveyard at Washington will soon
be filled with lot of fellows who ought to
have been planted years ago.

A COMMISSION.

If ANYBODY said the late congress did not dc
anything, he or she is mistaken. You can al
ways depend on a congress whose upper house
is led by Mark Hanna. Congress appointed a
commission of inquiry into the condition of the
colored people in the South The commissions
ers are to receive salary of $500. The
commission will be made up of rogue polti-
clans. They will 60 south and be dined and
wined by other rogue politicians. The report
will be made up of some tar and some white
wash The general public will not know any
more after the commission reports than at pres
ent The general public knows now that
colored man is black, where there is no adrnix-
ture of white blood; will lie and pilfer as do
white people; is not voting to any great extent
because the white politician mas legisla,ed him
out of the ballot. The general public knows
now that tbAre are greedy white men
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-08-01

in the South who cheat and swindle colored
men, the same as greedy white men cheat white
men in the North The lying, cheating, greedy
money grabber is everywhere, and the rogue
politician is to be found in all civilized nations
Commissions are not what the colored people
need. 1t is protection and instruction. Edu-
cate the colored race, and the race problem will
cease to exist. Give the race industrial train
ing. Teach the people not only the way to
produce, but also the way to make the best use
OF production. If we would have the colored
race rise to the dignity of good citizens, we
must wrest the government from the hands of
political brigands. And white voters have
need to set the example of all intelligent use OF
the ballot.
would not give whoop for either the COM
mission or its report. The intention was a
raid on the United States treasury and the
manufacture of political capital.
Mark Hanna need not have gone so far to
find wrongs. Pennsylvania and Virginia open
wide fields for the investigation of wrongs to
the lower class of people. If Hanna and his
troop of political fuglemen had wanted to hunt
down wrongs in the South, why did they not go
to factories controlled by Northern capital? We
want to know if white children are in worse
condition than black slaves before the war.
Let Hanna look to wrongs inflicted upon whites.
We may then believe in his sympathy for the
blacks.
