mIvs. Now we are fighting the Fili
pinos because they want just what
our fathers wanted. Any people who
ar not willing to give the same to
others they themselves njoy should
be thrown Into the old Roman road.
How awful mean It is to make our
fine-haired sailors and ship-owners
work for the same wages the coarse
haired Dutch and English sailors work
for. They come Into our ports ana
rat ry our wheat to Liverpool for half
j price and our sailors must do the same
thing or else not get the job. It is
j awful for a fine-haired man in any
station in life to fight paupers: Tax
j the farmers and working men and give
i our sailors a subsidy then they can af
ford to carry at the same rate. Nine'
millions a j'ear for thirty years is a
small matter, the farmers can 'stand
it. Then think of it, our fine-haired
railroad men have to compete with the
ewrse-h aired Canadians. Thej' take
fit ight and passengers from Buffalo to
Chicago and from Maine to the Pa
cific coast at half price and our men
have to tarry at the same rate or loso
the job.' It Is awful. The farmers
and laboring men should be made to
pay another nine million tsubsidy to
the railroad men. ,
Millionaires and billionaires among
j th higher classes are useful, but tbou-
fcacdaires and multl-thousandaires
among farmers are a menace to any
frfe government. A high protective
tariff is protection enough for the fac
tories and trusts were it not for the
millions upon millions they have to
pay every four years to carry the na
tional election. A subsidy or a direct
tax upon the farmers should pay that
necessary expense. Then the salaries
of our oJEccrs are altogether too small.
Think of it. Victoria's salary was two
million and our president only gets
City thousand. We never can stand
among the Imperial nations unless we
do as they do Then see how mean
they arc with our fine-haired million
aires who have bought a lot of their
Mcurities in order to keep up the fight
with the farmers of South Africa.

per cent for Income tax. Why don't
they have a court that decides the rich
men should not be taxed to support
general government as our courts have
decided., With all our shortcomings
we have some things ahead of the
world. Then when one of our men-dies
over , there they tax his estate. No
matter where his estate, is located the
tax must be paid. It would be all
right if only our coarse-haired fellows
were taxed. -
Farmers generally do not seem to
understand what a high protective tar
iff means to them. It means they must
pay the freight on their wheat and
meat to Boston and there sell it to the
manufacturers at Liverpool price, less
the. freight to take it there. Then if
they want to buy cloth, they must pay
Liverpool prices, with tariff and trans
portation to Boston added. , Then
they must pay the freight on their
cloth to Nebraska.
It is very fortunate for the people
of Kansas that they have a few women
who have conscience and backbone
enough to enforce the law when th
men fail. It is fortunate, too, that they
know how to use the hatchet better
than Washington did, .at- least they
know better what to hack. It has been
decided over and over again that a
father is justified in shooting the se
ducer of his daughter, and surely is
not the mother justified in smashing
the machine that makes her boy a
drunkard, especialjy when the consti
tution of the state authorizes such ac
tion? The saloon in Kansas is an out
law. The charges Mrs. Carrie Nation
made to the governor's face were full
of mean truth and was what stirred
the governor so. They were not the
charges of a crazy idiot. A mean truth
is always worse than a mean lie. The
governor had taken an oath to en
force the constitution, hence the
charge that he was a law-breaker and
perjurer was full of truth, for saloons
are running. in full open blast right
under the governor's nose. Newspa
per, men and poets may make light of
the matter, but onS woman with truth
in her mouth can put a thousand
guilty men to shame. Mrs. Nation
should be given the title of Joan of
Kansas.

It affords me pleasure to be able to
chip in a line in the effort to provide a
name by which all will recognize the
"Head Scavenger" located at the cor
ner of 9th and P-streets. v The namo
that naturally suggests itself to ray
mind Is a combination of "Skauks,"
and "Skunks." The skauk is a bird
that feasts on carion and then flies
across the country and besmirches
something every time.it says "skauk."
The "skauk'v is a bird of colors that
may be pleasing to the eye, but its
chief power lies in impregnating ev-
i erything it touches with the peculiar
odor that it creates. All other creat
ures not of the same breed get out of
the way and leave everything to it.
Does any one in this broad land know
Of a newspaper of- its age and chance
that amounts to so little editorially?
Of course the news in its columns is
provided by capital and the editorials
are censored and dictated by capital.
It is always ready to bite off some
barnacle and stick it on somewhere
else for whatever price may be thrown
to it. Having always been a sucker
from the start, it is always ready to
tell a lie, always ready to malign an
honest character no questions asked
it ha3 thereby secured some patron
age. I fail to see anything worthy the
ambition of the human in a course so
soulless, stupid and degraded. When
a man so prostitutes himself as to
lose all self-respect, all individuality,
he classes himself with vultures and
"skauks," hence this combination:

Current Comment
There has-been more matter pub
lished about Queen Victoria during
the last .week . than one. man could read
in a thousand years. It is a great
thing for - the plutocratic dailies,
whose chief object for the last four
years has been to keep the people's
attention directed to. anything and
everything that does not bear upon
their plan to make this republic an
empire and place the- fortunes of the
people in the hands of a clique located
in Wall street. . , , . ,
It continues to be asserted with
more positiveness than ver that the
real cause of the ..queen's death , was
the Boer .war to which she was always
opposed. Lady Randolph Churchill,
who was the chief person in fitting out
the Maine hospital ; ship, . positively
states that the assertion is true. . She
says: ."The quQen may be counted an
one of the victims of the war. Every
loss or the wounding of a brave sol
dier was personal to her." - -
In the .ceremonies In the house of
lords, Salisbury let fall one observa
tion that riveted attention. He said
solemnly, in testifying to the queen's
sagacity and foresight, that no min
ister ever differed with her on any im
portant point of policy but he lived to
regret it. As the house dispersed, ev
eryone was asking could he have been
referring to his having overborne the
queen's judgment about the South Af
rican war.
The outward, signs of mourning ev
erywhere exhibited in London would
lead an observer to believe that the
English people are absorbed in the at
tempt to pay honor to their dead queen
but it only covers up the deep schemes
of politicians. .Office-seeking has been
progressing ever since the demise of
the queen. King Edward has a great
deal of patronage at his disposal, and
it is hinted that pressure is already be ing
exerted in the interests of highly
placed candidates.- To each of the for
eign courts a special envoy will be dis
patched to notify officially the crowned
heads of the death of Victoria and the
accession of Edward VII. These en
voys will travel in magnificent state,
carrying with them extensive suites.
Their expenses will be defrayed by the
government ;and the missions will con
fer upon the envoys distinguished hon
or. In addition to. many other - re
wards, they will reap a luxuriant crop
of decorations. These missions ap
peal to the foremost 'nobles in the
realm, and have consequently set in
order a highly complicated and subtle
system of wire-pulling. The crown
also appoints the attaches of the royal
household, and thus King Edward will
have many desirable berths wherewith
to gratify his friends. ' .
It is known that the queen is very
rich. Her estate is estimated all the
way from, fifty: to a hundred million
dollars,-; She has always managed her
business in a most excellent way and
enjoyed 'the 'same Immunities from
taxation that mlllionalfes In this coun
try enjoy. No" property " belonging to
the sovereigns tjf England is taxed.
Of course that gives a.- very great ad
vantage to the sovereign of England
and the millionaires in this country
over other business- men. The value
of Victoria's estate ; will never - be
known. . The sovereign's estate docs
not have to be probated. It will never
be known to whom she has willed it.
A part of it can be traced, but only a
part. v ,
The services at Osborne were very
simple and appropriate, perhaps in
accordance with directions in the will.
The body, was not exposed to the view
of the public although, the correspon
dents insist that she was even beauti
ful in death. The final ceremonies of
the funeral will not occur for several
days yet. -
Washington correspondents assert,
that McKinley has created trouble
with the whole diplomatic corps by
ptitting the flag at half mast on the
White house upon receipt of the news
of 'the queen's death but they lie so
persistently and ' continuously , that
there is no telling whether there is
any truth in the statements or not.
They say that the Italian minister. wa3
the first to complain,. saying that the
flag was not half-masted upon the re
ception of the news of King Humbert's
death. It was never lowered before on
such an occasion. , . ,
The Boer prisoners at "Cape Town,
when they heard of the queen's death,
held a meeting and .resolved to sus
pend all amusements until, after the
funeral was. held. The contents of.
Krugef's telegram sent to the queen
before her death will probably never
be made known. A friend of the Boer
president saya that . in conversation
with Kruger, he said that it was not
intended for publication, being only
such a telegram as one who in' the
course of nature could not be far. from
the toomb, .would send to another who
was about to enter the dark portals.
There was a significant contrast be
tween the terms of the ancient . aid
traditional proclamation by which Al
bert Edward was proclaimed king of
England, and of the brief address
made by the new king to the privy
council when he took the oath of office.
The newly crowned monarch made no
reference to the doctrine of "divine
right." but said the throne had come
to him as a matter of inheritance, and
that it should be his aim, to be a "con
stitutional monarch." If there is any
meaning back of these words. , it is
that' Edward VII, recognizes the fact
that he rules by consent of the Brit
ish people, and not by any divine right
and that he is king because the Brit
ish constitution creates the kingly
office, and transmits it by descent
rather than by popular election. Hold
ing these views it is no wonder that
the sympathizers of the new king, as
is alleged, are with the liberal party of
the kingdom to some extent.
The English have received another
b ock. They were relying greatly upon
'ae Cape mounted - police which Is in
fact a regular riniUtary organization.
A body of these was sent out to stop
the advance of the Boers into the col
ony. They marched forward without
the slightest protest until : they , met
the Boers. Then they surrendered and
gave up their arms without firing a
shot, officers and all. The English see
that if South Africa is conquered. It
must be by troops sent there theIn
habitants will furnish no troops that
will fire on the burghers from the
Transvaal or the Orange Free State.
During the week the Boers have cap
tured a large number of prisoners and
two supply trains. It seems that all
that Dewet has to do' when he gets
short of provisions or arms is to send
out: a commando and take what he
wants. He came very near taking In
Lord Kitchener himself in one of thesy
assaults, and probably would if he
had had an idea that Kitchener was in
the outfit. .
r In China, negotiation "like a. wound
ed snake drags its slow length along."
The Chinese have done all it is possi
ble for them to do and now they wait
the action of. the powers. Every sen
sible man knows that the presence on
Chinese soil of foreign soldiers, at
tended, as it notoriously is, by puni
tive excursions, looting, butchery and
rapine, is not calculated to hasten any
civilized or humane conclusion. Rath
er is its effect likely to be perniciou3
if . not wholly destructive of the pre7
tended .purpose of the Christian in
vasion. Notwithstanding ; that, thy
powers show no intention of with
drawing the troops.
In speaking of this, Li Hung Chang
says: "These, armed expeditions are
a great menace. I never breathe free
ly while one is out.. If the soldiers
simply lived on the people, that would
alone be a terrible tax on their ex
hausted resources, but that is not all.
Reports reach me continually from
magistrates and from Chinese and
foreigners in whom I have equal con
fidence, which . I cannot communicate
even to the general. There is not one
word of truth in the story that Chinese
troops are pouring into the province of
Pechili. There is not a single soldier
within the, district mapped out by
Marshal von Waldersee as being under
foreign jurisdiction. - Outside these
limits we are collecting a few hun
dred soldiers to take over police du
ties when the foreigners leave. That
is all." : .
Whj' the plutocrats want to get ter
ritory in China is made Tery plain in
a passage in one of Carpenter's recent
letters. The sort of thing that he de
scribes is what they want in this coun
try and if their policy is adopted it is
what will follow.- Mr. Carpenter says r
"It makes one feel like a King to travel
about Hong' Kong. You get so much
for your money. I am hauled about in
jinrikshas for 2 cents a trip and for
10 cents I can have a man pulling me
through the streets for an hour. I am
frequently - carried . about in a chair
on the bare shoulders of two big Chi
nese. . The regular charge is about 5
cents in gold for fifteen minutes," but
by the law the charge is 25 cents for
three hours, and you. can. have a chair
alL, day. for .$1. . The men want mora
when they pull up the steep hills, and
the generous Hong Kong residents
add 2V& cents for good measure. There
is a regular charge for boat trips in
the harbor and the coolies on the
street, work for 21 cents an hour, or
17 cents of our money a day. Ordi
nary labor in China costs from 3 to
10 cents a day and skilled labor rang
es from 18 to 22 cents per day. The
wages are higher than this at Hong
Kong, but still low enough to make
good bargains for manufacturing."
A new phase of imperialism has de
veloped in the Philippines. General
MacArthur has ordered the deporta
tion to the United States of George T.
Rice, editor of the Daily, Bulletin, a
marine journal. Rice will sail on the
Pennsylvania next Monday. The or
der characterizes him as a "dangerous
incendiary and a menace to the mili
tary situation." Rice's offense was
the publication of allegations that
Lieutenant-Commander William Brau
nersreuther, captain of the port, had
charged excessive pilotage and moor
age fees, a percentage of which he had
kept for himself i Rice was summoned
to the office of the governor general's
military secretary and 'was called upon
to promise that he would publish no
more such articles. - Ke declined" to
give such a pledge, but insisted that
the article" was truthful. The deporta
tion order was then issued," and Rice
is awaiting the departure of the Penn
sylvania. When seen in jail he reit
erated his statement that the charges
were true. Rice came originally from
Red Wing, Minn., and was formerly a
member of the " Minnesota - volunteers.
, In speaking of this, the Chicago
Record says: "It is another evidence
of the growth of militarism that Gen
eral MacArthur's . administration
should dare to do such a thing without
the certainty of a rebuke. It is an
other proof of the arrogance Of the
army when left unrestrained and iso
lated from the influence of public opinion.-
General MacArthur is treating
the editor who offends him as he would
treat a civilian whose presence was
not desired at Fort Sheridan, if he
happened to be in command - of the
military post, by expelling him from
tha grounds. But he is treating the
whole of the archipelago as a mili
tary post, which it is'likely to be for
many years under the" present regime.
He is executing the policies of Otis,
frequently outlined -by . that general
when he was in command, whose habit
it was to call before him the corre
spondents of the Record and other pa
pers and announce: 'I can put you of?
the island if I want to The 'put-you-off-the-island
policy is in effect at
last. Knowledge of the facts about the
Philippine has been limited at all
times by the insolent censorship which
has forbidden the United States the in
formation desired. How will the coun
try like this method of dealing with
persons who refuse to surrender the
rights of American citizens to the ar
rogant demands of , military marti
nets?" -
As far as the average American citi

Is concerned, he cannot do enough
thinking to comprehend the signifi-

The fact that there are about 10,000,000
of these' people and that 3,000 is only
a drop in the bucket to those who have
not taken the, oath is not mentioned in
such papers. 1 ' ; " ' '
General MacArthur is determined
that , due respect, shall be paid to the
dead English sovereign. He has is
sued orders that all duty throughout
the division excepting 'the necessary
guard and field duty be suspended the
day of Queen Victoria's funeral. At
reville a national salute will be firmed
and single guns " will be fired half
hOurly between sunrise and sunset,
when a salute, to the union jack of
forty-five guns will be fired. -
The religious question is still prom
inent in the Philippines. ;s It is hard
to tell just what - the - autocrats com
posing the Taft commission have done
about the matter. It has been stated
that the Friars have been permitted to
enter the schools and " teach their
creed for a half an hour a day. On the

in demanding this legislation. It has
been , freely asserted in Washington
that if the bill Is not passed at this
session ah extra session will be called
to pass it.
The new army bill provides for. te

have been saying that the Hanna ship
subsidy bill will be defeated. It may
be, but The Independent does not be
