Is THERE NO I,EMEnY.

How long, o Lord was the invo-
cation of certain spirits seen oy st.
John. as related in Revelations, and
the entire civilized world might echo
the words in relation to the merctless
slaughter of the Jews in Russia. To
Use the language of The Chattanooga
Times:
of Jews by Russian soldiers at seidlce.
the question is naturally sugg estcd:
How much longer oueht the civilized
world - the Christian world, IL that APP

lenses against humanity in Cuba very
much less narrowing than what the
Russian autocracy Is daiis committing
cgainst an innocent ana helpless peo-
nle. The Russian government might
he excused II these outrages were com
n1itted bv lawless mobs, especially II
any effort were made to prevent them;
but as they appear tn have been rer-
petrated by imperial troops, aeting
tither by order or under sanction of
official authority, II would seeni trat
at least an intinatinu from the Chris-
tian powers that such crimes against
e,viliSsd society are intolerabie' is in
Perhaps 1t may be argued that any
nation cannot with justice interfere
in the domestic affairs OF any other
nation. but it does seem wrong for the
Christian powers of the entire word
to remain passive while such horrible
and atrocious massacres are going on
in Russia. II the government itself
encourages or tonnives at such ont :
ra ges it deserves to be wiped off the
earth. If it really wishes to stop or
prevent such brutality and Is unable
to do it then 1t should cease to be q
government. We cannot think tina:
any government should continue to
hold a place among the nations nf the
earth if 1t either cannot or will net
prevent these continuous atrocities If
they were not entirely religious out
breaks, or directed against ons re-
ligious faith, II would not be so bad
because disorders and disturbances
occur in all countries and cannot al
ways bc prevented. but these Russian
savages direct all their hatred against
the Jews alone and murder them on
account OF their faith Shall 1t be per-
mitted to 30 IN forever?

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1905.
NEEDLESS IRRITATION.

Recently the Bronx Geological Gar
Gen In New York secured a rare speci-
men in the shape of a genuine pigmy
from the regions of darkest Africa.
He is named Benga, and is fine
specimen of the little people who are
50 slightly removed from the brute.
For some reason the managers of TIL;
Zoo have placed Benga in a cage with
enc of the largest specimens of the
monkey family and the two enjoy
themselves thoroughly and have all
sorts of games with each other. They
do not enjoy the same diet, however,
for Eenga belongs to a family of can
nibals while the monkey would hardly
relish a meal off one of his own kind.
Nothing in this is very remarkable,
and 1t would not have attracted much
notice had 1t not been for the action
OF certain colored preachers in New
York who have indignated and solemn
ly protested against the exhibition.
They seem to think that putting a
r.an-like monkey and an ap4-lilse
man In the same cage is something
OF a reflection on the negro and his
ancestry and they are reported TO be
highly indignant about it.
This show Of temper on the part
of the negroes is amusing According
TO Darwin all of us, II we go back far
enough will find that our pedIgree
will take us back to a simian ancestry.
IL this is true. Benga has advanced
but few steps from the monkey begin
ming, and other Africans have gone a
little further forward, while these pro-
testing preachers are still higher in
the growth of evolution and develop
r1ent
If We reject the Darwinian theory
1t must be plainly evident that there
has in some parts of the world been
continuous retrogression and this
Ota Benga has almost reached the
monkey stage. In either case the high
er class of negroes have no cause to
resent the low grade of the pigny or
TO compile N at his associate in captivl-
ty. They appear to harmonic nicely
ana the negroes of this land would
do better to study them and earn
from them. Taking one view of II
they will see what they once were and
should feel thankful that they have
made such a wonderful advance from
Penga TO an educated negro in Amer
lea. Taking the other view they can
see what they might have gone back
to but for the elevlting influences II
white civilization. Either way they
Rave no just cause of complaint and
should rather enjoy the show than
grow angry about il.

SUCCESS IS HOPED ron.

Our all-around government has got.
ten busy on another matter of general
interest. and that is eggs One egg is
small affair. and so is one nickie.
but great many nickles amount to
pile of money. Just so with eggs
We don't remember how many eggs
ere produced in the United States In
one year. but we do know that the
supply Is not always equal to the
demand. At certain seasons of the
year they are always scarce and high.
and sometimes not to be had when
most badly needed
Now we are told that tho Depart
ment of Agriculture. or some other
branch of government, is experiment
Ing with or on the hens wifh the object
OF making than lay more eggs than
they now do We have not read the
details of the process and don't know
whether force or persuasion is to bs
used; whether they are to be fed diff
ferently or whether some plan is TO
be adopted by which the hens can be
fooled and thus caused to lay more
eggs than they think they are doing
All we know about it as yet is that
they are expected to make better
showing.
We are rather inclined to the opinion
that the esteemed government has
hard job ahead of it. II there is any
specimen of the animal Kingdom that
Is more obstinate than a hen We have
yet to make its acquaintance. You may
construct for a hen a nest of precious
metal. line 1t with fur and tell her to
get busy but she won't lay an egg un-
less she Is SO disposed Then at an
other time she will slip off and do
rosit her lay in coai-heap. The lay
of the hen is something that mere
human beings have rot yet been able
to control II the government will
engage the services of Luther Burbank

just as he wishes and he might find
a way to circumvent the hens OBJ
stinacy. Whatever Is done. IL it IL
a success, we hope will be done soon.
The Christmas season is drawing near.

delicacies, including egg-nogs. They
