GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON.
Brave Irish Officer Tried and Convicted by
British Court.

Col Arthur Lynch, who has been on trial in
London, charged with treason in that lie took
up arms against the British government i'll the
Boer war, was found guilty last Friday, and
was Immediately sentenced to death.
Colonel Lynch was war correspondent in
South Africa, and took the oath of allegiance
to the Boer government, in order to facilitate
his work as correspondent Doubtless, he SYM
pathized with the Beers, for he took command
of Boer regiment.
AT the close OF the war, Colonel Lynch was
elected II ember of parliament to represent an
Irish district. AS soon as he reached England,
ne was arrested and imprisoned. His trial re-
suited as above stated.
The action of the British court has aroused
the indignation of Ireland, and of Irish people
throughout the world, and there is threated
trouble for Great Britain should the death pen.

however, that Colonel Lynch will be executed

Sample of Republican Economy.

From the Oathe tribune
Before the Kansas senate had been in session
three days, there were I33 employees on the
payroll. What the record will be when this
body of foity men reaches the end of the fifty
day limit can only be conjectured. Among
these employees are fourteen pages, an equal
number of sergeants-at-arms and door-keepers,
and superintendent and assistant snperintend-
ent of ventilation.
The senate has voted to each member who
held no committee craftsmanship The right to
employ a secretary To each committee chair
man was given a clerk and s.enographer.
These will be named at the discretion of the
individual members.
After putting 1873 persons on the senate pay
roll, that body killed resolution to print 500
copies of Governor Bailev's message for gen
eral distribution, on the ground of ECONOMY. -

THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
W. 7. Stead, the Great English Editor, Writes
to the Hearst Newspapers.

What is the most pressing problem which is
at once economical, social, political and relig-
ious?
Answer: The unequal distributation of
wealth, which is brought out into strong reliet
by the rapid growth of enormous fortunes.
The Millionaire is the most conspicuous, and,
from some points of view, at once the most
menacing and the most hopeful portent of the
Twentieth Century.
AT the beginning of the Nineteenth Century
milIionaires were rare; billionaires unknown.
AT the beginning OF the Twentieth Century
millionaires are as plentiful as mushrooms and
billionaries dominate the situation.
Take, for example, Mr.. Rockefeller, of the
Standard Oil Trust.
know nothing of Mr.. Rockefeller personally
only select him because from time to time
read in the American papers estimates, which
may be more OF less fanciful or more or less
accurate, of the fortune which he has amassed
1t is constantly stated that the oil kings cap
ital is underestimated at $500, ,ooo 1t may be
more; it may be less. Bnt $500, 900 900 is a
good, round sum, and, as there is nothing per-
sonal in my speculations, the precise sum does
not exactly matter.
Taking the Rockefeller fortune as $500, ,ooo,-
900 o-day, what will it amount to in fifty years
time? To answer that question accurately is inn
possible, for no one knows what prodigies of
achievement are yet latent in the Rockefeller
brain.
But leaving that out of account, and suppos-
ing that the Rockefeller millions are put out to
nsuary at per cent compound interest and
both interest and capital allowed to accumulate
year by year for fifty years.
In that case, in 1852 Mr.. Rockefeller will be

MORE TROUBLE
SEEMS BREWING.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAYS HANDS OFF
VENEZUELA.
He Wants Germany to Cease BOmbardment
and the Killing of Women and Children.

President Roosevelt has grown impatient at
the action of Germany toward Venezuela, and
is seriously considering steps to put an end to
the bombardment of Venezuelan forts.
Diplomats in Washington see a move on the
part OF Germany to put the Monroe Doctrine to
its severest test, and there are those who feel
that drastic action on the part of this country
with reference to England's ally is not far off.
1t is the conviction OF government officials
in Washington that Germany, through policy
of repeated delays, hopes to make it impossible
tor Venezuela to meet the claims of her credit
ors, and thereby to render grant of territory
the only solution, and, in this manner, force
the Monroe Doctrine to test, the most severe
test it has ever had. In this scheme, she is
trying to involve Great Britain, making the
latter CO. responsible for all of her own acts.
The English papers Tor some of them) con-
demn Germany's action. The London Star, in
recent issue, says: eve are ashamed of this
ally of ours, whose shells slaughter children.
We knew the disaster into which the German
emperor is dragging us. He is acting like
madman with lighted torch in powder mag
aziue."
President Roosevelt is Sup against" serious
proposition, and will make haste slowly-as he
! should do. No reasonable citizen OF this coun-
try wants to 60 to war with Germany or any
other foreign nation. War is serious matter.
It costs many lives and millions of treasure.
But this nation will hold up her banner and
maintain her principles and her rights; and if
it becomes necessary for us to go to war with
any European nation, we have the patriots to
defend the best country under the heavens.

no hair through which to run
their fingers, men whose heads
are as bald as billiard balls, will
brush their hands over their

If the men simply wanted to

course this would afford ample
explanation Of the habit. But
why should a man who has no
