Donald Wylie's able article in an
other column on Madden's alleged
economy, brings out prominently one
fact which should not be lost sight of:
That but once in four years is the
price fixed for each postal route at
the time the mails are weighed and
that this price is paid for four years
regardless of how many tons are sent.
And as he says: "Every ton ruled or
frightened out of the mails means
that the postoffice department pays
the railroad twenty dollars for carry
ing nothing whatever." At weighing
time, for the whole month, the rail
roads have millions of franked docu
ments sent through the mails in order
to increase the weight; but after the
tonnage is fixed for four long years,
they begin a crusade to drive away
from the mails every pound possible.

News of the Week
The news of the wars of conquest
that the United States and Great
Britain are engaged in has been gen

bu the fighting goes on both in the
Philippines and Sbuth Africa after the
old fashion. The Independent says to
both of these governments in the
words of a reformer who lived .700
years before Christ: "Your covenant
with death shall be disannulled and
your agreement with hell shall not
stand; when the overflowing scourge
shall pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it."

The Associated press did not send
out the news that the great railroad
magnates who testified so jauntily be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion that they had been giving rebates
and making other - discriminations in
the shipment of freight had been or
dered prosecuted. But that is a fact
and suits have been brought against
them by order of the president.
Whether all this is for political effect
or whether the prosecution will be
vigorously pursued to the point of con
viction we shall have to wait to see.
If Teddy is really in earnest the pop
ulists will back him up. It is the
thing that they want and they do not

Not all the great illustrated Sunday
papers are printed in Chicago and

General Funston made a speech in
Chicago the other day that was a dis
grace to the regular army, but the
president, while he was quick to repri
mand General Miles for an expression
of opinion on a strictly military mat
ter, has taken no notice at all of Funs
ton's disgraceful tirade against all
those who differ with him about the
policy of retaining the Philippines as
a subject province. When a general
of the regular army can publicly de
nounce nearly one-half of congress and
probably more than one-half of the
American people as "copperheads"
without rebuke, we conclude that im
perialism is making very rapid prog
ress. No such insult to the American
people was ever indulged In by a
regular army officer before. A number
of the regular army officers have pri
vately expressed themselves as dis
gusted with Funston and his speech-making.
There is every indication that Eng
land will have trouble In Ireland.
For some years she had to keep over a
hundred thousand troops in the Emer
ald Isle and the prospect is that the
time is near at hand when she .will
have to do it again. But as long as
she has to keep 200,000 soldiers in
South Africa, it will be somewhat diffi
cult for her to get another 100,000 for
Ireland.
The economists in England have
been calling Joe Chamberlain's atten
tion to the fact that the Boer war is a
very great factor in the matter of
trade. They say that the increase in
taxation caused by the war is so handi
capping many trades that they cannot
compete with outside nations and the
result will be that England will lose
her trade. An instance they point to
is the coal trade. A shilling a ton of
taxation has been put upon that in
dustry just at a time when competi
tion from the outside is most severe.
A shilling a ton is all of the profit and
coal mining will slowly die out under
such heavy taxation. American coal
has actually been shipped at a profit
to Newcastle. Other trades suffer in
the same way and must for a long
time come on account of the enormous
increase in the public deft upon which
interest must he paid. The economists
say that it is not so much American
competition as heavy taxation that
will be the ruin of English trade, and
that this taxation comes largely from
the enormous expenses incurred in the
Boer war.
From the latest telegrams sent by
Lord Kitchener it appear that De
la rey captured six guns instead of
four and a very large amount of fixed
ammunition. The release of General
Lord Methuen, after the British shot
Scheepers and still have Kretsinger
confined in chains has compelled the
admiration of the whole world. The
magnanimity of the Boers equals their
bravery. .
The dispatches say that General
Miles asked fOT service in the Philip
pines and accompanied the request
with a plan for carrying on the war
which was the same as he employed
when fighting the Indians. His offer
was peremptorily "refused. In his war
fare asrainst the Indian General Miles
was always the soul of honor. When
ter having whipped and outgeneraled
Howard for six weeks, Miles was the
general in command and had the right
to make the terms of surrender. The
terms that he granted were that Chief
Joseph, having conducted the war ac
cording to the rules of civilized war
fare, should be allowed to return to
the new reservation assigned him
with all his people. The cause of the
war was the refusal of the Nes Perces
to leave their old reservation on which
they had resided for more than a hun
dred years and go to a new one pro
vided by the authorities at Washing
ton. On these terms Chief Joseph
agreed to surrender, although he was
in a position to carry on the fight or
flee into Canada, and gave up his
arms. In direct violation of the terms
of surrender which Miles had the au
thority to make, Chief Joseph and his
people were sent to the Indian terri
tory as prisoners of war. Miles de
clared that as long as he lived tLat he
would never cease to protest against
this act of treachery. He never did
cease. He used all his influence to
have these Indians returned to their
mountain homes. He visited the east.
He made official reports, he did every
thing in his power until at last Chief
Joseph was allowed to return. It was
such methods as these that Miles pro
posed to adopt in the Philippines. The
administration would have none of it.
It seems that J. Pierpont Morgan
has run up against the British gov
ernment in his attempt to consoli
date and combine all the trans-Atlantic
steamship lines. As long as he had
only the government at Washington
to deal with he had a clear track and
no opposition. The White Star line
is one of the lines that Morgan had
planned to take over, but the British
government steps in and says, "No."
If that line goes into the syndicate it
cannot carry the British mails.
One of the most significant things
that has happened during the week
is the departure of Lord Wolseley for
South Africa. It is said that he goes
as the king's special envoy to Investi
gate the condition of things there. It
1 well known that Lord Wolseley was
opposed to the Boer war from the be
ginning and that he was removed as
the4 commander-in-chief of the Brit
ish army and Lord Roberts substi
tuted in his place. That gives signifi
cance to his selection. He left the
next morning after his appointment
was made.
Teddy has done a good many things
that The Independent thoroughly ap
proves of, but not one that it has
more cause to rejoice over than the
removal of Powderly from the impor
tant and lucrative office that he has
held at New York in the immigration
bureau. The appointment of Powderly
was the reward of infamy, just as the
appointment of Clem Deaver was in
this state. He posed as a representa
tive of labor until honest men in the
organized labor movement had learned
of his Infamous character when they
ousted him and he was taken up by
Mark Hanna and given an office to
pay him for betraying labor. Now let
Teddy get after Clem Deaver. He is
the same kind of a man and got his
office in the same way that Powderly
did.
The recent restrictions placed upon
emigration by the different nations of
the world practically makes thralls
and serfs of the poorer portion of the
people and they are as much attached
to the land as at any time In the feudal
ages. It is perfectly right to prohibit
one nation from shipping its perma
nent paupers, insane and criminals to
another nation where they become a
charge upon charity, but to make such
requirements that healthy and strong
men of good morals cannot comply
with it is to attach them to the land
where they are born and render them
utterly hopeless. Hitherto the United
States has required that immigrants
should be healthy, sound of mind, not
criminals and have at least thirty dol
lars in money. It is stated in some
of the New York papers that the mon
ey requirements is to be raised to $100.
In the conditions that prevail in most
of Europe, that makes it impossible
for thousands of good and honest men
to leave there. A hundred dollars in
money above the cost of a passage Is
more than nine-tenths of the poor can
ever hope to accumulate.
"Trust against trust" is the way J.
Hamilton Lewis puts it regarding the
proposed combination of the beet su
gar producers of the west. Mr. Lewis
was formerly congressman from
Washington and is said to be slated
for the presidency of the new sugar
trust, which is to be known as the
American Beet Sugar company. Its
proposed capital is to be ten millions,
said to be about one-tenth of the com
bined stock issues of the constituent
companies. Oxnard is in the back
ground pulling the strings. A meet
ing was held in Chicago last week of
beet sugar manufacturers from Mich
igan, Idaho, Colorado and other points
and the new trust is the outgrowth of
that meeting. In their glee the beet
sugar men promise a great battle with
Havemeyer and claim that beet sugar
can be manufactured cheaper than the
cane product. Doubtless this is true
but where does it place those who have
been crying that reciprocity with Cu
ba would annihilate the beet sugar
industry of Nebraska? Let the rival
sugar trusts fight. The consumers can
stand a little cheap sugar right now.
Sioux Falls is getting a taste of fed
eral lawsuits over the question of mu
nicipal ownership of a waterworks
system. The city a few months ago
voted bonds for the purpose of con
structing a municipal waterworks
plant, and the private water company
has brought a number of. suits to pre
vent municipal ownership, holding
that such action would be a violation
by. the city of the franchise held by it
and an impairment of the value of its
plant. Doubtless the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
is relied on to prevent the city from
constructing its own plant.
The senate committee on isthmian
canals last week decided, by a vote
of 7 to 4, to report the Hepburn bill,
which provides for the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal. Senators Mil
lard, Hanna, Kittredge and Pritchard
formed the minority; and Senators
New York, Harris, Turner and Foster
of Louisiana the majority. The Hep
burn bill authorizes the president to
acquire territory for right-of-way for
a canal from Costa Rica and Nicara
gua, directs the construction of a ca
nal of sufficient capacity to accommo
date the largest ships from Greytown
on the Atlantic via Lake Nicaragua to
Brito on the Pacific, under the super
vision of the secretary of war, author
izes surveys of the harbors at the two
ends of the route, guarantees the use
of the canal to vessels of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, and appropriates $10,
000,000 for beginning the. work.
Minister Wu's agitation against Chi
nese exclusion has aroused such oppo
sition to him by many eastern papers
that some went to the length of de
manding his return to China.- So the
wily minister changed his tactics and
the Chinese government has filed a
protest with Minister Conger at Pekin
against further -restriction upon Chi
nese emigration to the United States,
especially to the Philippines and Ha
waii. In all fairness, if tariff duties
are to be maintained between the
United States and its "dependencies,"
in order to keep out the products of
pauper labor - in those countries, what
necessity is, there, to exclude the Chi
naman? ,
- President Kruger cabled the New
York ; Journal, and Chicago American
from Utrecht that his faith is still
strong that the Boers will ultimately
triumph. He said: "There will be
more good news yet from Delarey.
This victory of his reminds me of
General Botha's allusion a year ago to
the miracle of faith which saved
Daniel out of the lions' den.' My faith
in the ultimate triumph of the Boer
cause could not .be greater than it is
now, and, indeed, it never has been
shaken, I hope England will show that
she sees her folly of attempting to
subdue the Boer race, by recognizing
it now and by restoring independence
to the Transvaal republics. By doing
this she will spare herself as well as
the Boers of further bloodshed and ex
pense, and will retain the republics as
friendly neighbors,"
Secretary Shaw, has announced that
he will discontinue for the present the
nurchase of United States bonds, be
lieving that the price of bonds is un
reasonably high and that the effect of

ernment is powerless to give value to
anything, but

The senate has unanimously ratified
The Hague peace conference treaty re
lating to. the conduct of war, on land
and sea. The ; debate was almost en
tirely confined to' the Philippine ques
tion, and General; Funston's capture
of Aguinaldo cam -in for a good share
of attention. The countries party to
the treaty are Germany, Austria, Bel
gium,. Denmark, Tjfpairi, the United
States, Mexico, France, Great Britain,
Greece, Italy, Japan; Luxemburg, Mon
tenegro, Netherlands, Persia, Portu
gal, Roumania, Russia, Servia, Spain,
Sweden and Norway Turkey and Bul
garia. Among other things, specially
prohibited are: "To employ poison
or poisoned arms, ' to kill or wound
treacherously, Individuals belonging to
the hostile nation or. army; to kill or
wound an enemy who, having laid
down arms or having no longer means
of defense, has surrendered with dis
cretion; to employ . arms, projectiles
or material of a ; nature .to cause su
perfluous injury; to make improper
use of a flag of ! truce, the national
flag or military ensigns and the en
emy's uniform, as well as the distinc
tive badge 6f the general convention;
to destroy or sieze the enemy's prop
erty unless destruction or seizure be
demanded by the necessities of war."
The treaty provides as follows regard
ing spies: "An individual can only be
considered a spy if, acting clandestine
ly or on false pretences, he obtains,
or seeks to obtain, information In the
zone of operations of a belligerent with
the intention of communicating it to
the hostile party. Thus soldiers not in
disguise, who haye penetrated into the
zone of operations of a hostile army
to obtain information, are not con
sidered spies. Similarly the folowing
are not considered spies: Soldiers or
civilians, carrying out their mission
openly, charged with the delivery of
dispatches destined either for their
own army or for that of the enemy.
To this class belong likewise individ
uals sent in balloons to deliver dis
patches and generally to maintain
communication between the various
pi.rts of an army or territory.

The origin of the human race has
several theories. The most reason
able theory is that the race was
created. It is just as sensible to con
clude that man was created at once as
he now exists. It is just as easy to
make a man as It i3 to make a monkey.
We would, today, charge the same
for making a mouse as we would for
making a mule; we would also charge
the same for making a sparrow as we
would for making an eagle. We could
make the mule and the eagle just as
easily out of dirt as out of other ani
mals. There is no reason for doubt
that all animal nature does develop
under favorable climate and food. The
difference between the white polar
bear of the north and the cinnamon
bear of the tropics is wholly owing to
their surroundings. The same cause
for variation applies to the human
race. The general opinion is that the
human race had its first origin in
southern central Asia. The inclina
tion was given to explore and wander
and hence human beings are found
in all parts of the world. There Is
evidence of continental changes, a
breaking up and dividing. There is
evidence that the north frigid zone
was once tropical. Whether the earth
has turned or the sun is not certain.

mountains raised and islands have

you are, my brother. This Joseph is
not deceiving the intelligent populists
of Texas, but there a host of good pop
ulists who have not watched the
movements of this young man that
are being deceived by him to a certain
extent in Texas on account of the

want to"allie" themselves with some

taken a great deal of pains to come
