quoted In part as follows, with refer

A Canine Actor,

In those days ln 1870 | was always
accompanied by a favorite and beau
tiful old collie called Smut, which
took to rehearsals. II followed me
everywhere, even on the stage during
the actual performance Of the play.
Night after night Smut performed his
part In an admirable and irreproacha-
bic manner. lying down at my feet
while sat under a tree taking part in
a dialogue with one Of the characters.
On a hot, sultry night In July, how
ever (for the play enjoyed an excep-
tionally long rum. Smut became bored,
thinking, no doubt, that the play had
had its day and that II was now the
dogs turn. He advanced quite quietly
to the center Of the stage with an al
most managerial sehse Of his own Inn
portance, sat down In a dignifed man
ner on his launches and yawned In
full view Of the audience with the sub
lime indifference Of a dramatic critic.
The audience were naturally amused.
Encouraged by the success Of his un-
conscious efforts, Smut went from bad
to worse by swapping up a passing fly,
which be swallowed with the enjoy
ment of a gourmet. inevitably spelling
the quiet scene on which we were en-
gagged.
This terminated his engagement as
an actor-Iohn Hare in Strand Mag

CHICAGO. March S-Chicago los

prevention of preyentable disease,
avoidable accidents and unnecessary
loss Of life.
This is the assertion OF DIR. Emil
G. Hirsch in hearty endorsement. Of
the the Health sermons" Health
Commissioner Evans has been
preaching for two years.
"We built the drainage canal at
enormous expense says DR.. Hirsch,
sbut at real saving for Chicago. Ty-
phoid fever has become almost a Gu
riosity in this city except as it comes
in through the milk supply, If that is
properly supervised and watched, ty-

Consumption IS caused mostly by
creed and the state should curb such
greed. You will find consumption in
the tenement houses. Why do men
build tenements? Because they are
rood investments; they bring in rents
in large quantities because Of the
number Of persons crowded into the
houses.
AThe state should say that such
greed Of the landlord does not fall
into rights OF property. The owner
who has no higher moral conscience
than to contribute TO the number OF
victims Of preyentable diseases should
fall under the harsh hand of the state,
as he does in many of the states Of
Europe"

Fairbanks and the Miracle.

At the behest of the Wall Street interests,
Charles Warren Fairbanks was given second
place on the Roosevelt ticket, and thus it hap
pened that at one end of the Pennsylvania
Avenue we had President who was making
motions like trust-buster, while at the other
end we had a Vice-President who fixed" Sen
atorial Committees in such a way that no trust
could be busted. The bloated benehciaries Of
Special Privilege have never had better Con
gressonal protection than they have enjoyed
during the last few years, and they owe this
mainly to Speaker Cannon and Vice-President
Fairbanks. One of these corporation tools
managed the House and the other the Senate.
Mr.. Fairbanks is fond of parading himself
before the public, and loves to hear himself
talk Recently he made an address to the
Washington City negroes. These pampered
and privileged creatures have been given SO
much taffy, and been pulled up on SO many
1attering falsehoods, that it was not easy for
Fairbanks to surpass what preceding speakers

Earthquakes and APPROXIMATIONS.

Our Government,-half Of which ought to
be in the lunatic asyum,-has set the prece-
dent of making appropriations Of public money
tog~elieve distress in foreign countries when
ever an earthquake occurs. A natural conse-
quence is that earthquakes are on the increase.
You can hardly pick up a newspaper without
seeing an account of another earthquake. In
fact they are breaking out all over the earths
surface, like measles and chicken pox, and
Shingles
You see, it's this way: our fool Congress
started the thing by appropriating $4,000 to
relieve the French negroes, of Martinique,
when they had a shake-ups some years ago,
and subsequently did the same thing for the
English negroes Of Jamaica. Neither France
nor England did anything for their niggers.
These two sensible nations just stood off and
grinned, while Uncle Sam-b1amed old min
compoop-sailed across the waters to feed peo-
pie who weren't the least bit hungry. Even
if they had been hungry, it was none of his
business to take our tax-money to satisfy their
wants.
Then came the Italian earthquakes, and
Uncle Sam began to have fits. With whoop
and a rush, Theodore and Congress got to-
gether and poured 100000 out of our treasury,
sending it over the pond to feed the dagoes.
But that was not enough. A happy thought
smote Theodore: he determined to have our
navy carry over lumber and stuff, to build 500
houses for the homeless dagoes.
Here indeed was encouragement to the
earthquakes! What could you expect after
that? The people of Morocco love good vic
tuals, and houses that can be had Gree gratis
for nothing" So the untutored Moors began
to get in touch with the telegraph companies,
and to report earthquakes. The people of Asia
Minor are initiative heathen also, and they,
too, are human enough to look gift horse in
the mouth every chance they get,-so they
have begun to eportpearthquakes.
And then, there are our own dear Philip
pines,-they likewise are beginning to be up
to snuff. Seeing it in the papers that Uncle
Sam is sloshing his money around on earth
quakes, regardless, and has gone into the bust
ness of householder for the pauper labor of
Europe, the Filipino's mouth waters for some
of that same,-and he reports earthquakes.
Never heard of so many earthquakes since
we were born Looks like the surface of the
earth is all of culver and tremble.
No wonder The way Our fool Government
is going on, is enough to unsettle everything.
Hurry up, Theodore! Hurry up, Hon, Sena-

nadc already SAID. Lecturers nave heretofore
gone no farther than to tell the Washington
coons and coonesses that Hannibal and Cleo
patra were negroes and that Sappho was a
mulatto, and that the remains of Semitic civil
llzatlon in Ethiopia were proof of the ancient
grandeur Of the forefathers of Cuffee, Phoebe,
Uncle Remus and Aunt Dilsy
This was certainly going some,' but an adj
vertlsement in one of the negro papers leaps
forward joyfully and proclaims that Christ
was part negro" Which part, the paper didn't
say.
But Charles Warren Fairbanks was equal to
the occasion; and he not only told the Wash
ington coons something that they had not
heard before but something which was in it
self, most interesting and complimentary.
Our lank and elongated Weep informed
the assembled darkies of the Nations Capital
that the progress of the negro during the last
fifty years IS THE MIRACLE OF THE
CENTURIES"
@ how happy those swell coons of Wash
ington must have been, when they heard our
lengthy Weep. say that!
Negro progress the miracle of the ages! The
white man who says that is either hypocrite
or an ignoramus, and Fairbanks is not an ig-
noramus But the negroes hold the balance of
power In the SKATE of Indiana and Fairbanks
will be heard of next as candidate for the u. S.
Senate in that state-hence his fawning upon
the Washington negroes. The astute and un-
scrupulous Fairbanks knows that negro or
CARNATIONS, in all states, get their "tp' from
the lordly> coons who revel in official patronage
in Washington City.
The Liberia negroes are at this time urging
Our Government to come to the relief of that
disappointing colony Thus we have strik-
ing commentary upon the Fairbanks speech.
These African visitors declare that Liberia
cannot protect herself from the wild, native
negro tribes, and that the colony itself is in
state of wretchedness and decay The United
States, therefore, are asked to take charge of
Liberia and run things. That is what England
does for the negroes of Jamaica; what France
does for the negroes of Martinique; and what
we do tor the negroes OF Hayt1.
To Liberia was sent the best negroes that
could be persuaded to 60. They went away
from here as we'll educated as are the Afro
Americans of today. They were sure that they
could maintain the civilization which they had
caught from us.
Had they remained here, they would have
done so. We would have spurred them on,
held them up, maintained their schools, jailed
their thieves, lynched their ravishers, and COM
PEELED them to continue to initiate what they
saw around them
But in Liberia, there were no whites to force
the negro onward; nobody to rule the land
for him; nobody to punish his crimes; nobody
to perpetually show him how to do.
He was left to his own resources, in the saw
age home of his race, and therefore he has
steadily lost what he got from us. He has
sunk lower and lower, until the vast ocean of
native negro barbarism is about to swallow
him up
What such men as Fairbanks refuse to see

tors and Reps. The Moors are as much en-

The inhabitants of Asia Minor may compro-

Then, too, the Philippines! What's the
matter with their earthquakes? Amt they as
good as the shakes which the West Indian
niggers had?
Coal up, Hon. Navy, and go down and build
500 houses for our expensive pupils, the Fill
pinos.
Apparently, we have chained ourselves to
policy which will keep our navy pretty busy
at the Carpenters trade. Between dishing out
rations, clothing, medicine and lumber, and
sich;'7 our esteemed naval establishment be-
gins to- resemble a segment of Maud Balling-
ton Booths Salvation Army.
How are they going to select the happy 800
dagoes to whom the 800 houses are to be Civ
en-? Don't know. They'll make the Jealous
dagoes draw straws, perhaps Or, spit at
mark; or see how who can sit down the hard
est, or something of that sort.
But this thing of rushing our public funds
to foreign countries to feed clothe and build
houses tor destitute aliens, seems to us moth
ing more than charity run mad Where does
the President or Congress get the authority to
take from Our taxes 100000 to send to the
Italian poor? Where does your Government
get the legal right to build, at your expense,
500 houses for Siciian dagoes?
No such authority was ever given our Fed
eral Government. And nowhere else does the
Government-cu cut up such antics. The French
Government has not given franc to the Italian
sufferers, nor has the Government of Great
Britain given penny, nor that of Italy flor
in European individuals, churches, societies,
etc, have contributed most literally, but the
European governments have mot contributed
anything. Why? Because they recognize that
governments were not instituted for that pur-
pose.
In this country, charitable institutions, So
cieties and individuals were prompt and gen
erous in their gifts to the survivors of the
earthquakes; consequently, there was no ex-
cuse whatever for the lawless proceedings of
the President and the Congress.
To vote away SO much Of our money, leaving
the. homeless and suffering thousands of our
own land without relief, was a sin and shame
The latest reports give 100000 as the whole
