ALFRED L, Tawixa, Coniestaut’s Attorney, Grand Rapids, ‘Aon, ‘ of tbe former defeat and take pos- jus that Carlton county is not looking Vac the senatorship from the Fifty-sec- ond legistative district this year and says that connty will be satisfied with amember for the lower house. Well, the maternal put forth by Carlton county for the legislature thus far may satisfy the Republicans, but it’s a pret- | ty bumarticle, ‘The Republicans two years ago yielded to Carlton and the member from that county 1n the lower house is a disgrace to the state of Minnesota. He aspired to the high rank of cornuptionist and bribe-taker, and the only reason he din’t lay up a neat little bunch of money from his legislatve labors was whoily due to | the fact that he wasn’t worth buying. When it comes to the matter of legis- lative material the Republicans ot Carlton county should retire to the | rear, be seated and shut up. Charity {and pity alone caa cioak her shame and disgrace. THE CASE OF JELLISON The Duluth Herald and some other f | papers and people of this congression- al neighborhood have volunteered their sympathy to Jesse L. Jellison in his candidacy for congress. ‘They are wasung their tears tributes. The Herald-Review happens to know Mr. Jellison personally and knows tnat no person or party of persons are respon- sible for his present campaign—save Jellison alone. He thought the mat- ter over all by his lonely and cunclud- ed he wanted the job and went after it. All the aavice of all the people of the Eighth congressional district would not be sufficient to stop him, and those who know him best are not sufficiently interested or ‘toohsh enough to undertake it. Anyone who may feel that it 1s his duty to’advise Mr, Jellison to retire is herehy invited to tender his council and learn for himself how much good it would do. ‘The gentleman from Cohasset may be entitled to something, but it is certa‘n- ly not pity. He has a little money— perhaps $3000 or $4000—but there is little danger of his giving it away to “grafters.” The Herald-Review is unable to understand why Jellison’s ambition to represent this district in congress shouid be looked upon with either pity or contempt. There are no “boosters” behind him, that’s a certainty. As to ability, there 1s no more difference between Jellison and Morris than there is between Morris and Charles A. Towne, and siuce the majority of the people of this district have a preference for medi- ecrity over real stat2smanship, give them plenty of it. From Towne to Morris, from Morris to Jellison——the very essence of consistency carried to its logical conclusion. By all means let the Republican party be cousistent and stand by Jesse L, Jellison of Co- hasset, Itasca county, Minnesota. He would be a most fitting successor to the seat of Morris. 2 PAUL KRUGER, PATRIOT. An esteemed reader writes froma neighboring town that the Globe is too lavish in its estimate of President Paul Kruger, commonly known as “Oom Paul,’ for the reason that the South African President has become rich during the last years of his life. He seems inclined to give Mr. Kruger ; bo credit for a high or patriotic motive. Now, it is a historic fact that George Washington was a compara- tively rich man for his time—yet that fact is never alleged asa reason why he should not be considered the greatest American patriot. Grover Cleveland probably made a quarter of a million dollars while in the presi- dency, yet that fact did not prevent him from being an intensely Ameri- canman. Nor did he take advan- tage of his offical position to make money in unlawful or in questionable transactions. Benjamin Harrison made as much as Cleveland during his incumbency and the few years. immediately following his retire- mept from office—yet the public have never held him an unworthy American citizen. Other presidents of the United States have been men of considerable wealth, although none has been recognized as very rich. : The fact that President Kruger is a man of wealth has no bearing, how- ever, on the right of the Boers to life, liberty and the pursuit of happinesse and the fact would have had no effect on the attitude of England. English statesmen and soldiers through the possession of the Boer territory would strengthen the lines of empire in South Africa. A former effort to invade and conquer the country had been disastrous; it was decided the time was ripe to wipe out the stain Tue Cloquet Independent informs | 7 session of the Boer land,especially as it had developed rich mines*of gold and diamonds. That wes justificat- jon enough in the eyes of the covet- ous, the conquest. was undertaken and effected. All theglory of the war is with the defeated, and justly the penalty of it must be burne by the offenders. The debt will hang over England a century, and the loss to her industries by reasonof the withdrawal of 300,000 men from pro- ductive pursuit will require years to recuperate. The Boers had little in the way of worldly gold to loose, and they will rapidly recover their losses, Look at it in any, impartial way ‘you may, there.is no historic defense of tbe war of mighty England against the handful of Dutch farmers.—St. Paul Globe. A BISHOI’S BLASPHEMY Bishop Thoburn, who has charge of the work of his church in India, re- eently gave testimony before thePhil- glish birth. That English rule is not’ enjoyed by the people is evident from the fact that the native papers are, asa rule, unfriendly to the English goverument, and from the further fact that the:most intelligent Indians are the most hostile to English meth- ods Is it any credit to England to have stopped petty larceny in India after she has taken from the pcople about, everything worth stealing? One third of the revenues ere drained out of the country annually, and the best places in the civil service are filled with Englishmen appointed without refer- ence to the wishes of the people of In- dia. The governor general of India, appointed by the crown, draws $125,- 000,per year and his ostensible duty is to luok after the people of India, but he and his advisory counsel, after less than a day’s discussion and without consulting. the people, adopted a financial policy which, according to Senator Wolcott, destroyed at one blow $500,000,000 of the savings of the ippine committee of the senate, and in the course of his remarks declared that God was responsible for the acquisition of the Philippine islands by the United States, and that our continued oecupaney of the islands is necessary to carry out Ube plans of the Almighty. The bishop isa brave man to as- sume, without better evidence than he has produced, that he is the authorized interpreter ot the Divine will. He has taken upon himself a tremendous responsibility when he commends or defends the shedding of human blood in the name of the Cre- ator. The press dispatches do not give the crogs-examination, but the report of the hearings will contain no more interesting pages than whose which record the questions put to him and his answers. He represents a type of which every generation presents a few odious examples—men who hide he- Indian people and produced a famine that has been erroneously attributed to a scarcity of food. The clumsy dep- redations of Warren Hastings, des- cribed by Burke and Sheridan, were insignificant when compared with the retIned and far-reaching methods of plunder employed by England in 1n- dia today—methods which have been in operation during Bishop Thoburn’s stay there and yet which have arcused no protest from him. Imperialists boast of id bouetleance of English rule in India, and yet Ja- pan, free from an alies domination, las made more progress in the last twenty-five years than India has made inone hundred and fifty years, and the same can be said of Mexico. It is impossible to arouse any interest in England over the grievances of the Indian people—a fact that ought to be easily understood when we see how many Americans are indifferent to hind religion and attempt to throw) the rights of the people in Porto Rico upon God the blame for things which they want done but are not able to de- fend. The man who is guilty of pro- fanity and takes the name of his God in yain is not guilty of blasphemy half so wicked as are those who place Him in the attitude of inspiring slaughter in order to give one nation acbance to make money out of the government of another nation. To repudiate the authority ‘of men like Bishop Thoburn it is not necessary to deny the influence of Providence in the affairs of men and of nations; it is rather to condemn the sacrilege of those who, instead of seeking the di- vine attributes and searching for the divine law, make for themselves:a god fashioned in their own image avd clothe him with their own weeknesses and frailties. Unless his testimony misrepresents him, Bishop Thoburn deserves a high place among those whose philosophy constructs society from the top and makes the masses the helpless wards of self-appointed and self-sontrolled trustees. If he is consistent in his ‘ideas he cannot condemn Ahab for taking the vineyard of Nakoth; but must condemn Naboth, for not gladly surrendering the vineyard to his king. If he were to preach from that text he would, probably expatiate upon Ahbab’s superior knowledge of agricul- ture and of the benevolence of his as- similatiov of all the vineyards in sight. Ifthe bishop were discussing Dives and Lazarus he would doubt- less congratulate the latuer upon be- ing near enough to Dives to secure crumbs from the table. Bishop Tbo- burn would find congenial companion- ship among those, all too numerous, who praise the possession of. wealth without inquiring into the methods employed in its acquisition and attri- bute all poverty and misfortune to the lack of wisdom and energy. It is, a complacent _theury and soothes the conscience of those who take much from society and give littel to society in return. The bishop not only apologizes for, but even commends English rule in India and Hong Kong, declaring that the law is better enforced there than in self-governing Chicago. He has lived under the protection of the Englisb flag long evough to become completely weaned from American institutions, and bis testimony ought to be accepted as the testimony of an alien rather than as the testimony of an American citizen, Ifhe will in- vestigate (a “subject which he should have investigated before he testified), he will find that after a cep- tury and a half of English rule in In- dia, less than one per cent of the wo- men, of that country can read and write, and he will also tind that after acentury aud a half of English rile in India, less than one per cent of the women of that country can read and write, and he will also find that after ooe hundred and fifty years of “gun- powder gospel” less than one per cent of the people of India have embraced the Christian religion, and that that branch of the Christian church which England most opposes has made a jarger number of converts than the state church of England. : It requires an English army of Seventy thousand men, assisted by a native ‘army of 140,000 men, largely officered by Englishmen, to take care of ha residents of En- and the Philippines. Bishop Thoburn seems to reject er- tirely the doctrine that govermments derive their just powers from the cen- sent of the governed. He defends the “philanthropy and five per cent’ theory, advanced by Secretary Gage in the winter of 1898—x theory which uses hypucrisy as a cloak for avarice— a theory which has always been em- ployed by those who have denied the inalienable rights of man. If the bishop will devote a few hours to the study of the Sermon on the Mount and the Declaraiion of Independence, he will repent of his testimony in sackcloth and ashes and re: urn to In- dia to preach the guspel of love as taught by the meek and lowly Nazar- ehe rather than the gospel of force exemplified by Cain and those who Commoner “Twas an End oi the World. The victims of the woeful tragedy on Mortinique realized an “end of the world.” victims of all the incidents that im- agination bas pictured of the un- thinkable cataclysm of ‘‘a world des- troyed in the twinkling of an eye.” They saw for one awful instant the realization of Isaiah’s prophecy: “And the streams of the land shall be turned into pitch, and the dust there into brimstone, and the land shall be- come burning pitch.” And the thousands of poisoned, burned, blackened and distorted bodies completed the horrid spectacle: “The stink shall come up out of their carcasses and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.” Those poor victims had a monentary and terrifying sense of St. John’s vision: “There was a great earthquake, aud the sun became black as sack cloth of hair; and the moon becameasof blood. ~ And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth; the. heaven departed asa scroll; every mountain and island moved out of place,**** for the great day of wrath is come.” Earth’s internal fires and poisonous gasses broke their bonds of rock and earth,/and in an instant luxuriant vegetation, all animal life, human and brute, happy homes, a great city, ships onthe waters and fishes under them were dust and ashes! The bot- tom of the sea dropped out—it is now 4000 feet deep where it was but 600—; mountain tops were lifted off; the wa- ters of rivers were forced from their beds by the embracing shores; red hat stones came from the accustom birth place of 1ey hail; tornadoes of sheeted flame carried devastation where gentle tropic winds were wont to bring health and comfort; torrents of molten rock dropped’ from where stars serenely twinkled'a few moments before. In short, all that mortals can ever know of the instant end of all things, of that last dread hour when the time shall be no more, the ill-fated people of St. Pierre and’ its suburbs knew for an infinitesimal por- tion of a second! They virtually heard sounded ‘‘the last syllable of recorded time.” But. whatever they may have rea- lized in the moment of their doom, they died to the accompaniment of the most terrific and appalling mani- festation of omnipotent power. In the roar of wrecking empire and crash- ing world their souls passed the veil that divides the here from the hereaf- ter!
