Amen ! * * * The uowh that nearly ono-third o' the population of Shen Si, China?600.000 persons?had starved to death on account of famine, r peenie to be strikingly out of L place at this time when everybody j is preparing for the season of plenty and good cheer. It should serve, however, to make us thankful that we live in the best country on earth. Commenting editorially upon the division of the prize money to the officers of the navy for destroying the Spanish fleets at Santiago and Manila, tho Philadelphia Times says: "Admiral Dewey for his work at Manila has received in bounty $9,570, about one-third as much as Sampson ami one-half as much as Chadwick, who was not only not in the fight at Santiago, but who himself testified that ho kept back an expression of congratulation to Schley. "So here wo have Sr.hlev. the man who fought and won the hattie, alotted less than one-seventh as much as has beon paid to Sampson and less than one-fifth as much at the snui glinted to Ohadwick. "If th oso figures were not official they would seem impossible. Comment is superfluous. They constitute the most amazing injustice in the record of this government.' Bryan's Opinion of the President's Message In last week's issue of Tho Com nionor, Mr. Bryan indulges in caustic comment upon President Roosevelt's first message. On the trust question he says; A perusal of his utterances or the trust question will convince any unprejudiced reader that the President liafj heard from the trusi magnates since he made his Miu neapolis speech. He borrows th? phraseology of trust defender! when he asserts that the nverng< pinn has never been so well oil ir this country as at this time. Tlu ) f : { /' inference is natural that the trust evil is not. really serious. It is doubtful whether any one as badly scared as the President seems to be is in a proper frame of mind to calmly consider an effective antiTrust law. He gives the benefit of the doubt to the corporations IXIIU UUWT UUi C UA pi tcoua uo uiuv,u solicitude for the rights of tlie masses of the people as he does for the interests of the great combinations of capital. The fatal mistake made by the president is that he fails to recognize that a private monopoly is always and under every circumstance, a menace to the public. There can be no satisfactory regulation of a private monopoly; it is essentialJy and eternally wrong. It has always been an outlaw ugainst society; it has never been defended until recently and it is lamentable to learn from the president's message that he has been constrained by tho trust magnates to withhold his positive and emphatic condemnation of the monopoly principles. Anarchist Thinks Hoar's Plan Nonsensical. Johnnn Most, the notorious nnnrchist, declares that Senator Hoar's plan for concerted action anions the powers to extradite all anarchists to some desert island in the Pacific was all nonsense. Ho says that the plan is not at all possible. The fact is that no one would be sent, except those who are well known anarchists, and they aro only the few anions the many. "I would be the lirt-t one sent, and I suppose they would mnko me kin^." He said that an island to occommodato 100.000 peoplo would be needed to carry out Senator Hoar's plan, but it would bo necessnry to see that the anarchists for a time were providod with all necessities. ?N. Y. Journal. Hitting The Nail 0n*The Head. McDonald Furman, in The State. Mr. O. G. Thompson is riuht in regard to the South and the McKinley memorial. Why should the South contribute to the erection of monuments to McKinley ? He was a sectional president, the political chum of Mark Hanna and other selfish political bosses who cared nothing for the South or its people. As Mr. Thompson well says, "What has McKinley done for us South that we should perpetuate his memory on brass or marble ?" McKinley was not even n statesman. His record in regard to free silver showed him to be a marvellously shifty politician. His course at the commencement of the Spanish war proved him to bo extremely vacillating. He certainly de servos no monument on account of statesmanship, a quality he never displayed because ho did not possess it. Agnin the question comes up. Why should the South erect monuments to McKinley ? lie was president for over four years and beyond a few petty expressions (which cost him nothing) and the army appointments of a few exCcnfederates (whose services he needed) this chum of Mark Hanna did nothing for the South. If our section of the union wants to erect monuments, let us dot the country with monuments to Jefferson Davis, who, in many respects, was a grand man and who, from the time he was shamefully and cruelly ironed at Fortress Monroe until death laid its icy lingers on his brow, was a martyr for the. Southern cause. Let the South ever cherish his honored memory? the man without a country?the man who suffered so much for us. But to William McKinley the South owes nothing, so why should our people aid in building monui men Is to him ? i Wellington Not So Fortunate. Washington Post, (Ind.)
