Washington, D. C, Jan. 13. (Spe-l
ciai correspondence.) England s his
tory for centuries is a chronicle of op-
to her people. It need occasion no
surprise, therefore, that Irishmen are
foremost in denunciation of that treat
ment of the Boers of which they them
selves have been the victims for hun
dreds of years.
Rudyard Kipling, the maladorous au
thor of the "White Man's Burden,"
which republicans were wont to quote
in 1900 in defense of a war of con
quest, has become a poet of conscrip
tion, and his latest "poem" urges upon
the British government the necessity
of - that mode of recruiting the red
coated ranks for South African ser
vice and murder. The Irish World is
a type of Irish opinion. It closes a
stirring arraignment of English in
famy in these sentences:
"It is ; now recognized in Ireland
that the young man who takes the
Icing's shillings brands himself as an
infamous traitor to Ireland and to
the Irish cause. His is the unpardon
able sin which makes him an object
of. loathing to his countrymen, and
which brings unspeakable1 disgrace

world of a wretch unfit to live in it.
"Let Rudyard Kipling inspire his
' beef -eating, pleasure-loving, money -grasping,
unwarlike countrymen with
a martial spirit if he can, but let
Irishmen keep themselves aloof from
participation in England's blood guilt
less. Her army today is the scum of
the world. The son of Irish mother
.rV.sC -ininc n rrrnr is s m nnstpr nf
baseness."
Prof. E.lwood Mead, who has charge
of the government irrigation survey,
contributes to the January Forum an
article on this subject which is timely
and suggestive. He asserts that "the
day' of individual effort has passed."
Success, in the future, he continues,
"requires the organization of the ir
rigation industry and the expenditure
of public or corporate funds on a scale
not heretofore, possible. Before rivers
like the Missouri, the Big Horn, the
Green or the Columbia can be put to
use, irrigation works must be built
rivaling in magnitude and cost those
along the Ganges and the Nile." He
concludes that this -will not be dona
until there is legislation by congress.
The arid states will not do this be
cause they lack the means. "Only con
gress, as custodian of the public do
main, can provide the conditions in
dispensable to satisfactory progress,"
and even with congressional aid.
Prof. Mead thinks progress will be nec
essarily slow. Discussing at . some
lengths the evils of the existing situa
tion .he , points out that principal
among these is the lack of water at the
proDer time, and he demonstrates the
value of storage in the following par
agraph: ,
"The existing canals in Salt river
valley, - Arizona, will irrigate 250,000

f-i-i All rimy-Hats. Cure guaranteed. Rook-
acres of land. Much of this land has
been already settled upon, but less
than one-half is being cultivated. All
that is needed to make the remainder
fruitful is more water, and this can
be had by storing the floods. Water
enough comes down from the moun
tains, but it does not come down at
the right time. The 100,Q00 acres now
under cultivation represent not what
can be done with the river, but what
can be done with its low-water dis
charge. A similar condition of affairs
exists along the South Platte and Ar
kansas rivers in Colorado, where only
a fraction of the arable land below the
canals is cultivated, and all of this
has not the water it needs. If the wa
ter which runs to waste in the winter
and spring were stored, irrigation
would become to many in fact what it
now is only in theory an insurance
against drouth. These conditions ars
not exceptional. They prevail on
scores of streams in Wyoming, Utah,
Nevada, New Mexico and California
They will appear on others as the re
claimed area is extended."
Mr. Mead goes on to say that of the
two plans proposed for control of the
irrigation system state and national
he favors the former.
This view of Mr. Mead's will not bo
concurred in by the mass of the people
most vitally interested.
To invoke national aid for the con
struction of irrigation works, and,
when completed, surrender them to
state control, is to invite all the evil3
of land-grabbing, stock-jobbing and
public and private speculation. . It
will allow moneyed interests to gain
control of 'the lands lying tributary
to the irigation works and use them t:
private advantage, and thus defeat the
very end aimed at, namely, the pro
vision of homes for millions of our
people in what is now practically a
non-supporting region of our national
domain.
The safer plan is, after having in
voked and received national aid, is to
vest the control of the whole project
in the federal government, represented
by those whose duty it shall be to ad
minister the law in the interest of
those who shall come with an honest
intention to establish that bulwark of
the republic an American home. This
plan followed out will result in a de
gree of benefits to the whole United
States, and especially to the western
half, greater than any other project
ever brought to the attention of the
people.
In discussing "Chinese Exclusion and
the Problems of Immigration," Senator
Penrose of Pennsylvania lays down the
following proposition as one that
should guide congress in dealing with
the subject:
"The most important feature of the
immigration question, so far as this
country is concerned, is the assimila
ble quality of the immigrant. All phy
sical, educational and economic tests
that may be devised are worthless if
the immigrant, through racial or other
inherently antipathetic conditions,
cannot be more or less readily assimi
lated. Where he can be assimilated,
even with some degree of difficulty at
taching to the process of absorption,
the problem is already solved. Some
of our best citizens are the sons of
sturdy Immigrants , wTho, industrious
and adaptive, have amassed compet
ences and have entered heartily into
the spirit of our constitution, of our
laws and of our people." ,
No one can have doubt as to the
soundness ; of
that demagogism is at the bottom of
the agitation for the continuance of
the exclusion laws."
It is the unanimous demand of la
boring men everywhere that the Chi
nese should be excluded, and their de
mand i3 reasonable. Any race that
cannot become assimilated with the
great body of American citizenship has
no place in this country and should be
excluded by its laws.
Cuba has been under American mili
tary government for three years, and
today 5,000 .American soldiers are sus
taining the rule of Governor General
Wood. On the last day of the old
year, a general election was held
throughout the island to choose gov
ernors of provinces, provincial coun
sellors, members of the house of rep
resentatives and presidential and sen
atorial electors. On February 24 these
electors will meet and elect the first
president and vice president of the Cu
ban republic and senators. It' is al
ready known that General Palma, now
living: in New York, will be the first
president. lie is the choice of the ad
ministration. It would indeed be sur
prising if no persuasion was brougnt
to bear to encompass his election, and
still more surprising when it is re
membered that the charges of favorit
ism toward the successful candidate
by General Wood and his subordinates
became so pronounced that Secretary
Root was compelled to make a public
denial.
To the government so to be organ
ized, says Root in a recent report, "the
control of the island is to be trans
ferred and such a transfer may be an
ticipated before tbe close of the ap
proaching (current) session of con
gress." Cuba is to be "free and indepen
dent" then, in a sense, as by congres
sional resolution of April 2J, 189S, she
was declared was and of right ought to
be.
These same resolutions contained
the further declaration that "the
United States disclaim any disposition
or intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction, or control over said isl
ands." Notwithstanding this declaration,
the constitution of the republic of Cu
ba contains provisos, inserted therein
on the demand of the United States,
formally made upon the convention of
Cubans that framed it, which do es
tablish American "control over said
islands," as follows:
1. Cuba can make no treaties or
compacts with foreign powers with
out consent of the United States.
2. Cuba cannot contract public
debts which the United States judges
to be in excess of her ability to pay.
3. Cuba consents to the interven
tion of the United States at any tim?
in her internal affairs "for the pro
tection of life, property and individual
liberty."
4. Cuba consents to carry out and
extend the sanitary plans begun by
the United States during the military
occupation.
5. Cuba agrees to sell or lease to
the United States lands for coaling
and naval stations.
These provisos, which Cuba has
agreed "to embody "in a permanent
treaty with the United States," prac
tically establish over "free" Cuba the
same "suzerainty" which Great Britain
claims to have over the Transvaal re
public, and more; for Great Britain
never claimed the right to intervene
to protect life, property and individual
liberty in the Transvaal, nor to limit
the borrowing power of the Boer re
public. ' And yet, in the light of all these
facts and conditions and circum
stances, many people appear to be sur
prised that the Filipinos and the
down-trodden of every land do not
rush to the "protecting" cover of our
national wing!

YOU AND I
We 'ed to Organize an Infant Class in
Politic and Put in Several Years
in Attendance
This is addressed to the citizen; to
all citizens, not collectively hot in, a
bunch, but individually to every ; one
to you. The intention Is to talk
about You and I, about our relations
to 'government, ', about our worth as
men as citizens. . ' .
You and I have, listened to Fourth
of July oratory, - and to fellows that
wanted our votes, and they have given
is all sorts of soft solder and lying
compliment; addressed us as honorad
citizens, intelligent hearers, etc., until
they have made fools of us. They
have told us about the shortcomings,
the faults, and the foolishness of the
othfcr fellow, but said not a word about
our faults and foolishness; until You
and I have come to believe that we
are all right. But the fact is we are
not all right. If we were, government
and government policies would be all
right, for we are the government, that
is, You and I. We cast the ballots that
make the officials (be it said to their
credit they nearly always strive to
carry out our wishes). If You and I
dictate the wrong policies, at the polls,
then it is our fault, when government
is wrongly administered. You and I
need to organize into an infant class
in politics, and put in several years
in constant attendace. The first thing
we need to learn is the definition cf
the word "citizen," for we are citizen?.
We have somewhere seen it stated that
it was a great, grand thing to be a citi
zen. That to be a citizen of this coun
try was greater than and more desir
able than to be a king, in any other
country. If that is a fact, we had bet
ter begin to take note of it. If we at'e
fooling around here , with the privil
eges and powers of kings, it must b
said we make very poor use of those
privileges and powers at times.l Indeed
it is beginning to be said that You and
I are not fit to exercise the powers of
government. Abram S. Hewitt of New
York said . in an open letter: 'If
Shepard thinks that universal suffrage
is the best form of government for
large aggregations of men he differs
with most statesmen and the best
thinkers of the day." Well, now, if
that is true You and I had better quit
our governing job; quit voting; anl
turn government management over to
the Abram S. Hewitt style of "states
men and thinkers." But if it is not
true it certainly is an exhibition of all
sorts of impudence on the part of Mr.
Hewitt. Which ever way it is, w?
had better find out about it, for Mr.
Hewitt is not the only one who has
given expression to the same opinion
and it may be true.. Our ability to
handle the ballot is shown in the way
we do handle it. Let us take a ' look
back and see what we have been doing
with our ballots lately In the last
two campaigns we voted to give away
our money-making power to the bank
ers and financiers, by allowing thera
to fix the standard, thereby acknowl
edging their superiority over You and
I in the management of finance mat
ters. You and I were warned that the
question of imperialism was an issue
last campaign, but we couldn t see it,
and we voted in approval, of thj
change from a republican to an im
perialistic form of government.
You and I voted to sustain the Phil
ippine policy to rob and murder a
peopld that had never done us any
harm. You and I voted to sustain the
administration in its sympathy with
England in the Boer war, thereby
making ourselves, that is, You and I,
participators in the crime of making
war on women and cmidren ana
starving poor babies to death in South
Africa.
Maybe it is these and other voting
antics of ours that yours and mine
has caused the Abram S. Hewitts to
come to the conclusion that "large ag
gregations" of men like You and I are
not fit to vote. (Of course if You or I
have not been guilty of this peculiar
kind of voting then we are not to
blame), but You and I are concerned
whether guilty or not guilty in the
preservation of the rights of citizens.
The greatest evidence to the minds of
the "statesmen and thinkers" of our
unfitness, is that we haven't spirit
enough left, in us, to resent it when
they put such insult upon us as to as
sert that we are no longer fit manage
the ballot. That we receive such in
sult, in humble meekness, and go on
subscribing and paying for the publica
tions that advocate the idea that You
and I are unfit to fill the office of
citizen.
But the danger of losing our citizen
ship is not from imperialistic publica
tions, nor from the "statesmen and
thinkers," but that You and I, the
"progressive" citizens of this "prog
ressive" country, in this "progressive"
age, will not vote to disfranchise our
selves. , SID FOREE.

HANNA Oft M' KIN LEY.
Ohio Senator's Reminiscences of tbe
Martyred President.
In the current issue of The National
Magazine Senator Hanna gives detail
ed reminiscences of the late President
McKinley as a man, a friend and as a
leader. Mr. Hanna says in his article:
"A great deal has been said about his
proverbial good nature. He had that
and in addition to that an unequaled
equipoise in every emergency. In ; all
my career in business and in politics I
have 'never known a man so self con
tained. He always acted deliberately,
and his judgments were always weigh
ed carefully, although there were tinges
when his heart impulses would re
spond quickly without apparently the
slightest delay.
"In all those thirty years of close re
lations I never saw him in a passion,
never heard him utter one word of
what I would call resentment tinged
with bitterness toward a living person.
This was again reflected in the story
of the assassination told by Mr. Mil
burn, who said that he could never for
get the picture in the expression of his
countenan6e as he glanced toward the
assassin. In his eyes read the words as
plain as language could express it,
'Why should you do this?'
"And then when the assassin was
hurled to the ground, when the fury
and indignation of the people had be
gun to assert itself, he said, with al
most saintly compassion,. 'Don't let
them hurt him.'
"I know of nothing in all history that
can compare with the splendid climax
and ending of this noble life. One of
the sweetest consolations that come to
nie is the memory that on Tuesday
preceding his death he asked to see a
newspaper, and when he was told 'Not
today' he asked, 'Is Mark here?'
" 'Yes, Mr. President,' was the re
sponse, and in that one sweet last re
membrance was a rich reward for the
years of devotion which it had always
been my pleasure to give him."
Senator Hanna closes the article as
follows: "We were both of Scotch
Irish descent, but opposites in disposi
tion. He was of a more direct descent
than I, but it is thought from our dis
positions that he had the Scotch and I
had the Irish of the combination."
NEW MILFORD'S FRIGHT.
Giant Skyrocket Caused Religious
Ones to Pray In the Streets.
Several thousand inhabitants of New
Milford, near WInsted, Conn., on the
Berkshire division of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
were startled the other night by an ex
plosion somewhere to skyward of the
town, says the New York Times. The
sound was terrific, they say, and the
sidewalks "trembled. People rushed
out of doors,xand some of them declare
that they thought the day of judgment
was at hand. They knelt in the streets
and began to pray.
As the terrible sound came there was
a bright flash about 200 yards from
the earth, directly overhead. A little
lafer the streets were choked with peo
ple, gaping at the heavens and wonder
ing what was the cause of the noise.
It was finally concluded by many that
a meteorite had exploded over the
town. Some of the more religious citi
zens, however, persisted in believing
that the strange blast was Intended as
a warning that the life of the world
was about to end. That no fragments
or trace of a meteorite could be found
was used by them as an argument that
they were right in their conclusions.
A. L. Conkley, who conducts a music
store, solved the mystery late the next
afternoon by saying that he set off a
giant skyrocket, which caused the ex
citement. The rocket had been left
over from the last Fourth of July, and
his family thought fitting to celebrate
with it a happy Christmas.

Ri
Everglades to Be Turned Into Sngar
. Plantations.
One of the greatest projects just
started in Florida is the plan to drain
1,000,000 acres in the everglades and
turn them into sugar plantations. The
Florida East Coast Drainage and Sug
ar company has been formed for this
purpose. Surveys made under govern
ment supervision years ago show the
feasibility of the plan.
Arrangements were perfected recent
ly whereby M. Fichtenberg and Henry
Benedict of Milwaukee will underwrite
the enterprise to the extent of $5,000,
000. The opening of the section about
Jacksonville by the Florida East Coast
railroad has made the plan more feasi
ble, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. It
is surmised that Henry M. Flagler Is
interested in this enterprise and that
he is really behind it with his immense
capital to aid its development.

"The Conservative believes that ex
State Treasurer Bartley ought to bo
pardoned. He has suffered enough!
Justice has been appeased! Further
punishment for this mis-influeticed,
mal-guided man is mere savagery. It
is brutal vengeance. It is not civil
ized Christianity. It is pagan barbar
ity. It is cruelty to his devoted wife
and unhappy children.
"An executive with moral courage
and conscience enough to let him out
by a free and full pardon would suit
the Conservative and please God!
"Since the above was in type Gorv
ernor Savage has 'filled the bill. "
That is what the great J. Sterling
Morton has to say. When one comes
to reflect that the awful torture of
attending the flowers in the conserva
tory at the penitentiary was bound
to end in the earth death of Bartley,
and that four years in the penitentiary
was a very cruel punishment for steal
ing nearly a million dollars and divid
ing it up among a large number of re
publican leaders in the state, perhaps

The Independent still has some doubts
upon the subject.
The Pop Prophets
Maine to Have Spruce Gam Farms.
Spruce gum production will be made
a regular business by owners of the
forests in Washington county, Me.,
says a dispatch from - Banger, Me., to
the New York Evening Journal. Re
cently incisions in the bark of spruce
trees have been made, and It is found
that these Incisions produce gum of
the best quality. The first large ship
ment of gum secured in this manner
was made by H. J. Wells of Wesley,
who sent 175 pounds to Boston, pro
duced from five acres of trees.
A Voyaee Under the Sea.
The Petit Parisien learns , fronu M.

The pops are no good when it comes
to voting, but they know how to pro
phesy. They have insisted ever since
Joe Bartley was put behind the bars
that if the republican party ever got
into power again in Nebraska he would
be released. Sure enough, he was, al
though, according to the Fairbury Ga
zette, it was only on parole. But the
pops Insisted that he would be finally
let loose completely and entirely with
no strings attached. The rank and
file of the republican party saw the
force of the argument and insisted
that Bartley be put back, and he was.
Again the pops predicted that this re
imprisonment was only for effect and
that he would be released shortly af
ter election. And once more the pop
prophets have been crowned with lau
rel wreaths, for, behold, Bartley is a
free man. Jefferson County Journal.
A Lincoln Democrat
Editor Independent: I like your in
dependent ways and your publication
immensely. It is quite a pleasure now
adays to read a non-subsidized news
paper. I am not a populistnot ac
cording to the Michigan standard at
least, but a true blue Lincoln or Bryan
democrat. If Lincoln were alive today
he would surely , be with us. Thirty
years ago I was a frontier citizen ot
your state. Thirty -years ago next
month I was in Lincoln, Neb. , The In
dependent must be a power, for good
in your state. I am a subscriber for
Th Commoner and for yours.
