The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. VOL. V. THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND THE NEGRO. Shortly before the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States, one by one the slaveholding states began to withdraw from the Union. But it must be remembered to the credit of President James Buchanan, that he denied their right to secede, and he insisted upon the right to enforce the execution of all the Laws in all the States, and he earnestly urged upon Congress the duty of arming him with the power to do this; but to its everlasting discredit it paid no attention to his wishes, requests or demands, but at the time Congress and the people even until this day never tire in condemning and upbraiding President Buchanan for his non-action in those dark and dismal hours. It seemed that when the people residing in the Northern States observed that the movement in the South was something more than wind and bluster, they became alarmed and bewildered. The "New York Tribune," "The Albany Evening Journal" and many other leading Republican organs, East and West declared that "coercion, if it were possible, is out of the question, and they condemned it as "madness," they counseled conciliation and further concessions to the demands of slavery. The "New York Tribune" disowned it and even after the cotton States had formed their Confederacy and adopted a Provisional Government the Tribune emphatically declared that "whenever it shall be clear that the great body of the Southern people have become conclusively alienated from the Union and anxious to escape from it, we will do our best to forward their views, for we hope never to live in a republic whereof one section is pinned to the other by bayonets." In the meantime, great meetings were held in Philadelphia and New York, and those who attended them strongly condemned the Abolitionists, and urged the most extravagant additional concessions to slavery for the sake of peace. On the 12th of January, 1861, William H. Seward, who became Mr. Lincoln's Secretary of State, made his great speech in the United States Senate, declaring that he could "afford to meet prejudice with conciliation, exaction with concession which surrenders no principle, and violence with the right hand of Peace." He was willing to give up Congressional prohibition of slavery in the Territories, enforce the Fugitive Slave law, and perpetuate slavery in the Republic by amending the Constitution for that purpose. The Crittenden compromise, which practically surrendered everything to those who were in favor of slavery, only failed in the Senate by one vote, and that was caused by several Southern Senators who refused to vote because they were so perfectly devil-bent upon destroying the Union that they would not listen to any terms of compromise or permit their adoption, but if they had it would have been much worse for the negro, and the chances are that our flag, the boasted emblem of liberty, would still be floating over slaves in every portion of the Republic. The Peace Congress, assembled upon the eve of the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln for the purpose of devising some means of national pacification, and it agreed upon a series of measures covering substantially the same ground as the Crittenden compromise, while both houses of Congress agreed to a constitutional amendment denying any power to interfere with slavery "until every State in the Union, by its individual State action, shall consent to its exercise." To the very last, the old medicine of compromise and conciliation seemed to be the sovereign hope of the people of the free States, and although it had failed utterly, and every offer of friendship and peace had been spurned by the advocates of slavery, nevertheless the great majority of the people living in the North—in fact all of them outside of the real true friends of the negro, the Abolitionists—fervently hoped and prayed that there would be no civil war upon this continent on account of the negro, for they considered that he was not worth fighting over. that with few exceptions the northern people cared nothing for the rights of the negro? and even today how many of them are perfectly willing to permit him to enjoy all the rights which they themselves enjoy? Yet at the very same time they loudly complain against the southern people for not according fair treatment to the negro; and does it not further clearly prove that the Republican party was not organized for the special purpose of interfering with slavery, and that neither it nor its leaders ever dreamed of liberating the negro? (To be continued.) OLD GLORY. "O Liberty, what crimes," etc. Teddy Roosevelt in a Century Magazine article would fain make us believe this is a government of equality, except, perhaps, in our big towns. Now, there is no nation on the earth where inequality has grown so rapidly as here. Everything favors the rich and well off at the expense of the poor and industrious. One class, the rich, can enjoy all the advantages of travel, growing cultured, refined and intelligent, and able to control all political movements at conventions and manage the legislation at State and national capitals, while the great masses are compelled to stay at home in one eternal round. And, bear in mind, these effects are cumulative in a kind of geometrical ratio—making the few more significant and powerful and the many weaker and more impotent. The railroad monopoly, by its enormous charges, has done more to divide us in two classes than all other influences combined. The average number of passengers carried and the receipts for the same show that the railroads receive about fifty cents per capita from each passenger, so that if the roads were to charge fifty cents per ticket, regardless of distance, say after the first thirty miles, they must have increased their receipts infinitely. It is evident, then, that the combine of rich railroad men has an object in preventing travel by the people. Many of them have openly declared their hostility to encouragement of travel among the people as tending to make them discontented. You see that already we have a governing class that affects to control us for our own good. This article of Teddy's reminds us of times before the war down South, where on Fourth of Julys at every village and crossroads liberty poles were put up, with "Freedom's banner floating o'er us," and every howling political demagogue boasted in roaring tones of our fair land of liberty and equal rights, and the loud cannons split the clouds, "bespeaking earthly thunder"—that, too, in regions where nine souls out of ten were slaves, bought, sold and driven like cattle, and full half of the one-tenth were degraded and brutalized by the slavery of the masses. Strange, wasn't it? Man is indeed a wonderful wild fowl. C. WHO FOOTS THE BILL? The argument for pensioning the disabled laborer has a thousand times more force in the eye of common sense than the argument for pensioning the soldier. Were the laborers in almost any department to abandon their places society must suffer and in some cases all traffic must cease. The daily supplies on which great cities depend would no longer be received and riots, arsons, robberies and murders would soon depopulate all the great centres of industry and populations. Yet the prospect to pension the laborer is laughed to scorn by the witless simpletons who eagerly favor such grants to those who enlist in armies. And now at last comes the proposition in Congress to pension the discharged civil servants on half pay—that is several hundred dollars per year, while even the war-worn veteran, crippled of a hand, gets barely two hundred and the ordinary pensioner barely one hundred dollars. This proposal comes from Mr. Boutell of Illinois, a man chosen by the people under our government of equality. The thing will be done in time. It is in the line of our march since our nation began. All is to be divided out among the idlers, while the millions who tail are to be kept down under military rule. Well, we deserve it for our tame submission. If you say this is going too far and people will CHICAGO, MAY 19. 1900. object it only shows how blind you have been as to what has been doing the past forty years. If you put a new set in power, do you believe they will begin in earnest to deprive themselves of all the good things their predecessors have prepared for the next party that comes in to enjoy? The heir presumptive may growl at the usurptions of the king, but if he himself shall ever come into power—"Oh, that is another thing, entirely." Already great pensions and high privileges are granted by law to several hundred of our aristocracy. Who pays for it all? The man with the hoe and pick, et al. THOMAS GALLAGHER. Among the various gentlemen who have been mentioned or suggested as THE HON. THOMAS Vice-President of the Board of Education and elected President of the Board 1 Vice-President of the Board of Education, who is likely to be nominated and elected President of the Board of Cook County Commissioners. being eminently fitted to receive the nomination for president of the Board of County Commissioners, it is our candid opinion, that none of them are better equipped to serve or act in that capacity than the Hon. Thomas Gallagher, vice-president of the Board of Education, who is known throughout Chicago and Cook County. Mr. Gallagher has a clean record. He has honorably served in the city council, but he was no grafter nor did he play the strong arm act upon the people, like some of the chuckle-heads and humbskulls who preceeded him and who now occupy seats in that body. For many years Mr. Gallagher was engaged in the gent's furnishing business and by honest and square dealing he conducted an enormous business, and the name of Thomas Gallagher became familiar to every man, woman and child on the west side. As a first-class business man he succeeded in accumulating considerable means and we want to halt one moment and say, that no man is capable of conducting public affairs unless he knows how to manage his own affairs, and Mr. Gallagher has been successful in that direction, and that is the reason why The Broad Ax favors him for president of the Board of County Commissioners, and the further fact that he deports himself like a true gentleman. No member of the Board of Education has done more to advance and improve the educational facilities this great city than Mr. Gallagher, and he is friendly to the Afro-Americans and is interested in their advancement and improvement, and thousands of them would support Thomas Gallagher for president of the Board of County Commissioners. ```markdown ``` THE APRON BAZAAR A GREAT SUCCESS. It is no exaggeration to say, that the Apron Bazaar which was concluded last Wednesday night, under the auspices of the Phyllis Wheatly Club was the most successful of any similar bazaar ever held, not only in this city but in any other section of this broad land. Its success is attributed largely to the fact that women residing in all parts of the country, generously responded to the request of the club to prepare and forward their delicate and artistically made aprons for the occasion. Through the great amount of energy displayed by Mrs. L. A. Davis, president of the club, and the untiring efforts put forth by her able assistants 175 aprons were collected and exhibited MAS GALLAGHER, tion, who is likely to be nominated board of Cook County Commissioners. and the proceeds derived from disposing of the aprons was $53.00. Each and every member of the club desire to extend their warmest thanks to the following ladies and all others who contributed to the success of the bazaar: Mrs. Brister, Baltimore, Md., Mrs. Miner, Fredrick, Md., Mrs. Geo. Pick, Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. T. H. Lyles, St. Paul, Minn., Phyllis Wheatly Club, Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. Julia A.

The last night of the bazaar was greatly enjoyed by the large throng which attended it. Mrs. Eliza Harris deserves much commendation for entertaining the friends of the club with a select musical program which was participated in by Miss Virgie Gibson, piano solo; Geo. W. Henderson, vocal solo; Miss Gertie Randall, vocal solo; instrumental solo, Miss Josie Prior; recitation, Miss Clara Green. Mrs. M. B. Jackson, Mrs. Anna Tucker, Mrs. Stella Collins, Mrs. Alice Flower and Mrs. Pearl Carlmore had charge of the refreshments and they performed their task to perfection, and all who attended the bazaar spoke of it in the highest terms and express the hope that it will not be long before they will have the pleasure of attending another apron bazaar for the benefit of the Phyllis Wheatly Club. CHIPS Dr. Morgan and wife, of Indianapolis, Ind., are visiting Prof. and Mrs. Emanuel, 6352 Rhodes avenue. Since Mayor Harrison has declined to run for governor there is strong talk of ex-Governor John P. Altgeld becoming a candidate. H. P. Williams, ex-secretary of war, of Libiria, will address the Men's Sunday Forum on "Life and Customs in Africa." Ladies invited. George H. Kriete, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Chicago, is winning new laurels every day, and if he lives he has a bright prospect before him in the legal and political worlds. Monday night the choir of Quinn Chapel and of Olivet entered into a singing contest at the first mentioned Church, and after a spirited contest the banner was awarded to the choir of Olivet. Congressman George P. Foster, so it is said by the wise ones, is bound to be renominated and elected, and we want to say right now that Congressman Foster can have the unqualified support of the Broad-Ax. The indications are that there will be a rough-and-tumble fight in the 30th Ward on the day of the primaries. Alderman Charles J. Boyd and B. H. Heide will rub up against M. P. Byrne and Justice John Fitzgerald, and we expect to see the wool and fur fly in every direction. Memorial services were held Monday night at Bethel Church to commemorate the birth and death of John Brown, who gladly and heroically gave up his life to advance the cause of liberty and freedom. Mrs. Ida B. WellsBarnett presided, and short addresses were delivered by some of the admirers of John Brown. John H. Cross, the saloonist of 222 West Lake street, knows a thing or two. He has long since learned that it is all nonsense for all Afro-Americans to belong to one political party, and he contends that if the negro is free he has a right to think for himself Therefore Mr. Cross marches under the banner of Democracy. John Gray, brother of James J. Gray, by mistake took a dose of horse liniment instead of medicine to relieve a cold, and he died from the effect of the poison Tuesday night. His funeral was held Friday from the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The Broad Ax extends its sympathy to Mr. Gray over the loss of his sister and brother. Quite a few weak-minded colored people have been foolish enough to believe that Rev. J. E. W. Bowen would be selected as one of the bishops by the white methodists. But we didn't. As The Broad Ax has stated before, There is no room in Heaven for black, yellow or gingerbread angels, hence the white brethren(?) refused to elect Rev. Bowen. Hon. M. J. Butler and George E. Brennan will be pitted against each other by their numerous friends to see which one will walk away with the senatorial prize. Mr. Brennen's supporters feel confident that he will be successful, while the adherents of Representative Butler are resting on their oars, and they are equally certain that he will without a doubt receive the nomination. NO. 30. LAWRENCE A. NEWBY. The sentiment is growing very rapidly among the colored population of Chicago and Cook County and especially among those who affiliate with the Democratic party who Have in the past helped to fight its battles, and to win its victories, that the time has arrived in the history of Democracy when its leaders cannot perform any more graceful or befitting act, than to nominate a representative Afro-American Democrat for County Commissioner. Mr. Newby, who has been a consistent Democrat for a number of years past, after surveying the ground thoroughly has decided to enter the contest, and from now on, to the day of the county convention, he will put forth his efforts in a manly way to persuade and convince the leaders of the party, that it would greatly add to the chances of the entire county ticket winning out at the polls, if the colored Democrats were given representation upon it. This view is shared by many others who are not candidates and as there are ten County Commissioners to be selected from the city, it is the opinion of Mr. Newby, that the party managers would be acting the better part of wisdom by according this concession to the colored Democrats. Inasmuch as it would cause many colored men through race pride to vote the Democratic ticket, and it would be evident to all, that the leaders of the party are wide-awake and are willing to convince every one that they are as anxious and as eager to secure a portion of the Negro vote as well as the Republicans, who have for some years placed a colored man on their ticket for County Commissioner. Not only that. They always select one for the Legislature. Now, if the leaders of the Democratic party are progressive, and if they expect to make permanent inroads into the Negro vote of this city and state, it cannot be done in any better way than to select one for an elective office. As there is a disposition upon the part of the Negro, to break away from the old moorings of the Republican party and we believe it is the duty of the leaders of the Democratic party to encourage them to do so. This disposition was manifested at the last election of Mayor Harrison. The strong Republican wards and precincts wherein reside a great majority of the colored voters went strongly Democratic and it is estimated, that sixty-five per cent of the colored voters voted for Mayor Harrison, and we believe the same thing can be repeated if L. A. Newby is nominated for County Commissioner. He stands well with the race and holds a trusted position in the city water office and is in every way qualified to serve as County Commissioner. John E. Owens, Assistant City Prosecuting Attorney and President of the 12th Ward Democratic Club, is bright, genial and very active in behalf of Democracy, and many of his friends have urged him to wade out into the political waters and seek the nomination for member of the lower house. But Mr. Owens stands on the banks and declares that he is willing to contribute to the success of the party every way within his power but much absorbed in his law but think about going to the Leg Ui ee ee a eg eee es ce ; | = .

Pedro Paterno, head of the Filipine national assembly, has been captured ‘by the American troops, and General ‘Otis’ dispatch thoughtfully adds that he was too sick to escape when the ‘troops pursued him.

If Aguinaldo would ‘be kind enough to break a leg or con- tract a fever he might yet be captured, but it.appears to be impossible for Gen- eral Otis to overtake any of the Fil- ipino leaders while they retain good Dealth and active limbs. * Among other features of the South African war the new developments in the use of the heliograph are worth moticing. The idea of telegraphing by means of flashes of sunlight first came 4mto prominence during the Franco- Prussian war. The electric light was at once suggested to make the system independent of interference from elouds, but the difficulty of getting @lectricity in the field has thus far in- terfered with a successful combination of the two inventions. In the present ‘war the Britigh have made some use oft the electric searchlights from their ‘ships for purposes of optical tele- graphy, but sunlight is still their main reliance. A writer in the Engineer- ing Magazine for May states that the ‘ordinary rang of the heliograph is fifty-five miles, but when the electric ‘are light is used the range can be ex- ‘tended to 400 miles. The success with ‘which the heliograph was used in communicating with the besieged gar- isons of-Lacysmith and Kimberley is & good demonstration of the progress qmade with this invention since 1870. ~ The engineering world of Europe bes ‘uot, it fs said, recovered from the sur- prise over the remarkable performance at Aatwerp of « big dredge-boat con- _stracted in-Beigium for the Russian government on plans prepared by an American engineer, a Chicagoan.

REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS: ARE ‘They Seo the Signs of the Times ta ‘This Spring's Local Elections—Mich- igam, Indisne and Minnesota Ave (Washington Letter). ‘Goubt as to the prospects of Demo eratic success next November those Goubts were thoroughly removed by the recent town elections in Indians and Minnesota. The Democrats swept the nae Soeke in. Democratic were in- creased; everywhere the Republican ‘vote fell off. Towns which have been Teliably Republican for yeara were engulfed by the Democratic tide. Through the gas belt, which has been & Republican stronghold, the Demo- cratic gains were enormous. Ander- Son, the home of the Republican can- idate for governor, always a reliable Republican city, was captured by the Democrats after a fierce battle. All the Indications are that Bryan wil! sweep the state In November by the largest Democratic majority since the days of Hendricks and “Blue Jeans” ‘Williams. In Minnesota, the city of St. Paul went Democratic by 1,500, reversing the majority of over 5,000 which it gave McKinley in 1896. Min- Reapolis elected a Democratic mayor in 1898, making even 4 more marked change from the vote of 1896. All signs point to this state supporting Bryan in November. In Michigan the Republicans are panic stricken. At their recent ‘state convention they en- dor-ed McKinley in the most per- functory manner and adjourned with searcely a single issue presented in their platform. A Hollander from near Grand Rapids was made chair- man of the Republican state commit- tee in some faint hope of holding the Dutch vote, which is very strong in the state, in line with the party. This will be impossible. The anti-Boer, pro-British attitude of the administra- tion has completely aiienated this pow- erful vote as it has that of hundreds of thousands of Amerians in every ‘walk of life. Out of the many elements which have led to this marked reversal of opinion in favor of the Democrats, two are especially noticeable at the Present moment. First, the Coeur @ Alene investigation, now in progress in Washington, has shown the work- ing men of the country the serious dangers of military control. The fact has been overwhelmingly demonstrat- ed that neither the civil or military authorities in the Coeur d'Alene dis- trict had any desire to arrest, con- vict and punish the men who blew up the Bunker Hill mine. It was proven that the mine owners had nu- merous spies present at the time the mine was blown up and on the spot. ‘Yet the criminals were allowed to es- ‘cape, because had they been arrested and convicted the excuse of keeping the military in control of the district for over twelve months would have ‘disappeared. The military are still ‘in control, and the permit system whereby a workman must secure per- ‘mission from en illegal authority be- fore be can even seek work is still in force. The other cause for the change of public sentiment lately manifested is the’ action of the administration in regard to Porte Rico. Imperialism cannot be a success unless a people have been bred to accept the doctrine of the Divine right of kings. That doctrine holds to an extremely lim- ited extent in the United States, and the general public refuses to accept it. McKinley too is already con- fronted with the difficulties of occu- pying an illegal and unconstitutional position. No sooner had the Porto Rican bill become a law than its am- biguities and cradities began to ap- pear. So serious are its defects that the cabinet has been holding councils to determine what shall be done ‘to remedy them, and further legislation appears to be imperative. Had a Porto Rican legislature adopted so crude a measure every administration organ in the United States would have pointed the finger of scorn and re- marked that the Porto Ricans were unfit for self-government, since they ‘were incapable of drafting a worka- Die law. But the tariff feature presents even more Gifficulties. The treasury de- partment has already issued a ruling directly contrary to the spirit of that law. It has ruled that goods export- ed to Porto Rico are not exports, and are therefore not entitled te “draw- hacks” which are paid on certain manufactures to covet the amount of the duties originally paid on the im- ported material used in their manu- facture. Judge Lochren, of the United ‘States federal court, sitting at St Paul, has made an even wider decis- jon in which he holds that Porto Rico fs a partof the United States and therefore under the Constitution... He ‘went so far as to assert that had Porto Rico not been under the Con- stitution congress would have had no power to legislate concerning it The to the D of the punish- ment of a Porto Rican native by a ma isia Beery nv foe ate eS ie eae <eL Mel Nei Nt | Se Ml Sl Ii | ZB oF RRS eee YS Vj | BE ae NW Se yp) 7 ir Sa ELI SFG moe ss Zz A 4 y = / maf 4 fe —) oS laa fe BEE ww. 6) Ve Cogs | Lvs f? | a 6 WRU ODP'AYYZ nse = =——. é > i) _—-, a: "| ) Yi 7M SS SS gS A (ZZES Yj Z ze 5 a) eS ie VEX Uy ait I) SOS St (DT UZEZZ Z)) BON NEA, FF in wry F A ——- A eZ Fa ij = 2 = VAN 5 <== Bx 104% Ee oD) 5 > — 7008 Se eee a SU Bi) Res 7 \ Se a 2 Nesp ave c(0 fH ] Sg TOON Hs EE at eed [S| x COS Seis = BAN FAY, | Hl : brs Ay .

General Otis is coming home from the Philippines and another general will try to complete the impossible task which Otis has left behind him. One hundred and fifty millions of dol- lars have already been poured into the morasses of the Philippines, and thousands of lives and the health of tens of thousanas have been expended to carry out McKinley's fatuous pol- icy of imperialism. This amount of money would have constructed and equipped the Nicaragua canal. It is gone and can never be recovered. Four years more of McKinley will mean five hundred million dollars more poured into the Philippine rat- hole. That is more than it cost France to change from a republic to an empire, and to change Napoleon from a successful general to an em- Peror in exile. Emperors come high. Students of history are comparing McKinley with George III. They have many characteristics in common. George III. was prosy, opinionated, a strenge combination of weakness and obstinacy. He had a marked capacity for surrounding himself with the weakest statesman of the kingdom. He was equally inac- cessible with McKinley to the influ- ence of public sentiment. He made a marked pretext of religion. He had no small vices. He finally went crazy. Nearly all these characteristics are re- peated in McKinley, and Daniel Web- ster said in a speech delivered in congress April 14, 1826, that any statesman who should propose to at- tach to the United States distant, un- natural and unassimilable territory would be a mad man. JACKSON DAY. ITS NAME DOESN'T SIGNIFY. There were no insurgents in the Qhio Republican -convention. That fact was adequately demonstrated by the wild and tumultuous cheering in- 4uilged in by the delegates—composed largely of feeders at the administra- tion pie counter, and of “those ‘as *‘opes to be” to borrow from Mr. ‘Weller’s vocabulary—when the boss appeared on the platform. And when the leader of the Republican party rose in response to the demands of his boisterous parasites to make a speech, there was no §brous growth in bis voice to make him stutter in his unqualified irdorsement of im- Perialism and the trusts. “I do not care whether you eal! it imperialism or expansion,” be told his henchmen. “The destiny of this coun- try is written, and any party, or com- Dimation of men, that attempts by subterfuge or makeshifts in politics te stop the power and progress of this re ee oe ee ¥ eX on Democratic party gone down.” ee i Sila tt is ‘ante ure of the phrase Sate or makeshifts in politics,” as éf it indi- sated highly immoral practices and methods to the use of which a per- ow oes send aati anda = og hang a whether it ig called “imperialism” or “expansion.” It is his policy and he has determined to have it carried out by electing Mr. McKinley, so that the Process of “benevolent assimilation” can be consummated for the enrich- ment of the syndicates, for the fat- tening of carpet-baggers, for the slaughter of our soldiers by bullets and disease, for the spoliation of the tax payers, for the establishment of large standing army, for the loot- ing of the property and money of un- consenting peoples, for the benefit of the trusts, for the nullifying of the constitution and the stamping out of liberty in Porto Rico and the Philip- Dines.—Kansas City Times. WATCH YOUR CONGRESSMAN. The late Mr. David A. Wells wrote eight years ago a brief and vigorous article on trusts, which first appeared in the New England Almanac. No one who has written upon the sub- fect has grasped the situation with more thorough comprehension or ex- posed it more clearly than that wise student of public affairs and fearless champion of equal rights. He main- tained then what has been proved beyond question since, that the duties were enacted or kept.on in order to maintain and protect a host of trusts in the United States which could otherwise have no existence. And he brought the question sharply forward, “How did your representative in the last congress vote?” That is the ques- tion which voters should now be ask- ing. Did he vote protective duties to favor the trusts which have been bleeding the American people, and if he did, will the people trust him again? Will a new candidate vote to Temove those favors, and, if not, will the people trust him at all? Other questigns will enter into the campaign, but in the election of con- gressmen these are the test questions which should never for a day be lost sight of, for upon the answer to them will depend whether the next congress is to be the servant of the American people or the slave of the trusts.—Kal- amazoo Gazette-News. ‘The Nations! Debt Made Permanent. “ In turning over the control of the pa- per money to the bankers, the Repub- licans have found it necessary to rivet upon the nation a national debt, which we were in a fair way to discharge. A huge-éum of money is to be paid for premiums on unmatured bonds so that they may be canceled and 2 per cent thirty-zear bonds issued in their stead.

There are other questions which will cut some figure in the campaign, but these three will demand the largest ehare of public attention. Men differ as to their relative importance, but they are all important. The currency bill, which is now a law, has revealed the party’s love for the gold standard and its hypocrisy in pretending to fa- vor internationa] bimetallism. That bill has also received the Republican plan to retire the greenbacks and turn over the control of the paper money to the national banks. The inaction of the administration on the trust question shows that the Repub- licans are insincere in their prom- ises to destroy the trusts, while the Porto Rican bill reveals the imperial- istic purposes of the Republican lead- ers. The Republicans do not now dare to unfold their plans. The Spooner resolution proposes that when the war is over the president shall establish a. government which is to stand till congress acts in the matter, but this ig superlatively un- certain. It simply means that after an indefinite continuation of the war, the president will establish an indefinite form of government, which shall last for an indefinite time, and then con- gress will substitute some kind of government, we know not what While this uncertainty lasts, soldiers are dying in the Philippines or com- ing back insane, the expenses are in- creasing and the Declaration of In- dependence is being treated by Re- publicans_as an outworn document. Against Republican uncertainty, the Democrats will offer a plain, simple, Patriotic plan of dealing with the Philippine Islands, and that plan will be an immediate announcement of the nation’s purposes; first, to establish a stable government; second, to give the Filipinos independence, as we had promised to give independence to Cuba; third, to protect the Filipinos from outside interference to work out their own destiny, as we have protect- ed the people of Central and South America.”"—W.

WEI 444 Four Milton ‘Troop: te ths Seg rete Strength — The Encl of Meath at the Bena of the Gigantic Undertaking, Sugiand is about taking an impor- tant step in preparing material for fu- tare military service. it is proposed te make every public school boy in the land © semi-official adjunct of the Brit- ish army, compelling him to take thor- ough military training under govern- ment inspection so long as he remains 4m the public schools, and providing for the establishment of school boy mili- tia im the shape of cadet corps and battalions under the direct control of the war office. The schools are to re- celve therefrom $500,000 a year by way of support. Unless some unforeseen circumstance comes up to change present arrange- ments, the resolution will be presented to Parliament within the next few weeks. The new plan will affect about 4,000,000 boys in the United Kingdom. They are those in what are called the board schools—the schools supported by government and attended by the children of the middle and lower classes, as distinquished from the pri- vate schools patronized by “gentle- men's” sons, with which the -Educa- tion ‘Board has nothing to do.

Following the new plan, in these three years they will have learned the manual of arms thoroughly, as well as marching and formation, using dummy guns. When the boys leave school the cadet corps will be ready to receive them, any- where between the ages of 12 and 19. They will then be armed with car- bines, will drill once or twice a week, practice marksmanship, go to camp for 2 month in summer; in fact, be simply @ pocket edition of the volunteer regi- ments that exist mow. After that their natural destipation will be those regi- ments—one of the great aims of. this movement being to establish a reserve for the volunteers exactly like that which the army reserve and the militia constitute in relation to the regular army. The originator of the whole big movement is the Earl of Meath, and the man who has helped him most to bring his dream to reality is one Paul Kruger: for both Parliament and the people it represents were never so ready for just this sort of thing as they are to-day. Peleee-Tieped Arrow Heeds Two chemists of the University of Edinburgh have analyzed the stuff used in Africa as a poison for arrow heads and which never yet has been examined chemically. This poison is extracted by boiling the. roots and stems of a plant called asocanthora shimperi, and the poison is named aso- cantherin. The plant belongs to a fam- fly of poison plants called apocynum, to which belong the oleander, stro- phantes, dog cabbage and many other varieties. The action of the arrow- head poison is powerful to an extra- ordinary degree, and immediately af- fects theheart, which in strong doses it quickly paralyzes. The chemists experimented in inoculating animals with the juice, and noticed that even when the heart became the cot hans emieess 4 ee while longer. The poison, therefore, affects the muscles, but not the nerves, which explains that phenomenon of frogs which were inoculated breath- img after the heart had ceased its ac- tion.—New York Press.

Kinkade of Alameda, Assinibola, West- ern Canada, which caused that gentle- man to receive a great many inquiries, Most of them anxious to know if the letter was genuine. To a large num- Der of the inquiries answers were sent, but it was impossible to reply to all. We take plessure in submitting to our readers a specimen of replies seat by Mr. Kinkade: “Yes, the letter dated December 22, 1899, supposed to have been written by me, which you saw fn your local Papers, was genuine and contained facts. I will say of the information received from the Canadian Govern- ment Agents prior to coming here; I G14 not find a single untrue statement. The Canadian Government is honor- able and its Agents dare not misrepre- sent this country or they would lose their jobs. There is quite a bit of land for homesteading yet, a very lit- tle close to market, but mainly from 6 to 20 miles from stations. The coun- try, hereabouts is a prairie, nearly level, slightly rolling, not a rough country by any means. Homestead entries cost $10: on land that has been cancelled there is a $5 cancellation fee extra and in some cases an inspec- tion fee of $5 and where the former occupant has made any substatitial improvements there are smal] amounts to pay for improvements. This is a Door place for a poor man unless he has brains and muscle and ‘git and grit,’ but with these requisites he can succeed. The population of this part of Assiniaboia has doubled during the past two years. There has been as much prairie broken the past two years as was already broken previous to 1898. C. P. R. land (odd sections) Joining homestead land sells at $3 per acre. Improved quarters within four to five miles of town sell at $1,000 this spring. This is not a Garden of Eden at all, no man need think he can come here and get rich in a short time with- out much labor, but if he will work and be saving he can soon be an in- dependent farmer tilling his own soil and getting good returns for his labor. “We burn coal, which costs us $1.85 per load at the mines, which are 20 miles southwest of us. “People with stock and machinery ‘should come in May so as to have all June to break in. Those who expect to work for wages for the first year or two should come by the end of July to work through harvest and threshing and then go to the coal fields and work all winter and by spring he could be ready to improve homestead. “A quarter section of railway land sells at $3 per acre. The interest is all figured up and a man has about $71 to pay cash, and if he breaks at least 10 acres first breaking season his $21 interest for the first year is thrown off and the second fal! following pur- chase he has $60 tc pay and then $60 to pay for 8 more falls, which makes a@ total of $611 the quarter costs him; including all interest. Paying for a quarter of land that way is like keep- ing a life insurance policy paid, only it does not take so long to do it. By a man homesteading one quarter and buying another quarter gives him a chance to have a 320-acre farm all his own and have it paid for in ten years, and after that he is sure of an easy living if he is any good at all. “(Signed) W.H.

The Judiciary Committee composed of Republican Congressmen has rec- ommended the a of a measure to recompense persons who are lynched by mobs, ing such per- sons or victims foreigners. But it will be void and of no effect what- ever to native Americans. It is simply intended to protect the foreigners from mob violence, and not the Americans. ‘The Conservator of this city character- izes this piece of legislation as very brutal and a national shame. It seems. to be greatly astonished to think that a Republican Congress would ever dream of such a thing. For it thinks that if the Republican party can legis- late to protect the foreigners “from mobs it can do the same thing for the negro. But possibly within the next two hundred years the Conservator and many others may learn that the Republican party was not created for the ‘special purpose of acting as the sole guardian of the negro. Do you see the point, Mr. Conservator? Congressman J. M. Robinson of Indi- ana has favored The Broad-Ax with a copy of his speech which he delivered in the House of Representatives lately on “Labor in the Hawaiian Islands.” The Congressman in his speech dwells at great length upon the system of s'a- very which is in existence in those isl- ands at the present time, and which is sanctioned and sustained by the na- tional Republican administration. For the life of us, it is beyond our compre- hension to understand why such a sys- tem of slayery should be permitted to exist in this, the supposed noontide of Christian civilization, and we are thoroughly “Of the opinion that any man who will vote to uphold the of those who are in favor of tolerating it are devoid of the finer instincts of humanity. Congressmen Robinson’s speech should have a wide circulation and it should be extensively read, for it will greatly assist in enlighten'ng the minds of the American pepple to the true. condition of affairs and the | system of slavery in vogue in the Ha- waiian Islands.
