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 ?
