THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1900. CHRISTIAN LOOTING. E have had occasion to refer to many of the Wmilitant expressions of minigters of the gos- pel as to the Chinese troubles. As a rule these expressions have favored force and bloodshed, war | and its horrors, as missionary efforts, necessary to | open the Orient gates to Christianity. We have felt, e Press 204 | carnestly, that such a policy is antagonistic to the spirit and teachings of Christianity. It is true that they have some warrant in Jewish history and the stories of the Old Testament, originating when Je- hovah was a tribal God, differing from other tribal | gods in being greater than they. But in the teachings | of Christianity the law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth disappears not only, but is reprobated and | superseded by a gospel based primarily upon non- | resistance and teaching that evil must be requited | with good. ‘ | This philosophy was in the world before the events which fill the New Testament and make the body of Christian doctrine had occurred. It was taught by | Buddha, Confucius and by the Roman bondman, Epictetus. The morals and ethics and the religion of compassion, which have gentled the rude spirit of man, were early among men. Christianity revived them, spiritualized them, gave them a metaphysical basis, and made them an enduring force in the world, refined of all the dross of selfishness and passion. As | we have been taught, and to-day understand, this is that Christianity which has been wrought out in many nations. But the spirit shown by the ordained class among us and by the missionaries in many cases is something widely different, and the nations concerned are con- fronted with the inquiry whether they have any func- tion in its propagation. The Associated Press announces that the American General, Chaffee, is opposed to the outrages and the looting at Tientsin and Peking, saying he “could not v would ever be given over so completely to looters,” and he earnestly desired the co-operation of any nation to prevent this. That is the feeling and opinion of a soldier and man of war. The same dispatch says: “On the other hand, the missionaries complain because the Sacred City has not been looted also.” Now, the Sacred City is the inner one of the series of cities of which Peking is composed. It is the Loly of holies. It is tc them more than the threshing floor of Ornan, the Jebusite, was to the Jews. | have believed that any ci They believe that it is under supernatural guard. !

UP-TO—DA’I’E EX-SENATOR PEFFER DECIDES TO tion in the federal tariff has been discussed with such thoroughness that it is no exaggeration to say that there are in Melbourne and Sydney at least twenty men who would be able to submit a draft tariff which would cover the needs of the principal protected in- | dustries in the continent. The secrecy which has sur- rounded the detailed work of the protectionists is the testimony to their determination not to allow im- porters to crowd their warehouses a few weeks beforz the initiation of the commonwealth and thus exploit both the revenue and protected industries.” The absolute free traders have been vanquished in advance, and it appears that none of the “whole hog” Cobdenites, as the Australians call them, will have a following of considerable strength in any of the states. The opposition to protection is to be waged by advocates of “tariff for revenue only.” There has been formed an organization called the Australian Free Trade and Liberal Association, and it has adopted a platform declaring: “First—That the cus- toms and excise duties imposed by the comion- wealth should be‘imposed only with a view to provide | for the wants of the treasury and in no way to give support to any special industry at the expense of the general community. Second—That the first federal tariff should, so far as the exigencies of the severai states will permit, embrace a number of duties some- | what similar to those in force in Great Britain, with the intention of as soon as possible establishing a free breakfast table, any deficiency of revenue in such lat- ter case to be made up by diréct taxation.” It will be seen the Australians are about to enter upon a struggle through which we have passed in | safety. The contest, however, is to be complicated | with local issues. Thus it is noted that free trade is | associated in the minds of Australians with opposi- tion to certain reforms which the workingmen of the country desire, and the labor parties therefore will in | most states give their support to protection. It happens, however, there are a good many other 1 organizations to have a vote on the subject. Among | them are the Women's Progressive Leagues, which | are said to be springing up all over Victoria and New South Wales, and the Australian Natives' Associa- | tion, which is said to have in Victoria alone a mem- | bership of 18,000. Of the latter organization it is said: “Other colonists sne=r at it and envy the enthusiasm of its members. Secretly, however, they admit that unless a revolution is worked in politics or some new league is formed round which both native-born and English-born electors can rally, it will absolutely dominate politics before another ten years elapsed.” have Nation's Head Hé.s Bee can and Democrats ¥4 & e HE announcement that ex-Senator W. A. Poffer of Kansas would take the stump in this campaign under the direction 6f the Republican National Committee has created much com- ment among politiclans of all parties. Senator Peffer belonged to the old-guard of Kansas Populism and was sent by his party to the United States Senate. In the following statement he tells why he in- tends to give his support to the Republi- cans: Editor San Francisco Call: T am asked why T favor the re-election of President MecKinley. 1t is because after vehemently urging on a war with Spain, and after unbroken series of victories of our arms on sea and land; after an energetic and successful conduct of the war and an able and patriotic management of the affairs | of government and a brilliant handling of our foreign relations, adding glory and prestige to our people and terminating in a treaty placing us at the right of the front rank of the nations of earth, with new and grave responsibilitles attaching— after all these splendid achievements the Democratic party, aided by its fusion al- lies, has raised a hue and cry, charging all manner of public crimes against the administration—despotic use of power, usurpation, fraud, corruption, perfidy, calling on the nations to behold our na- tional shame and beseeching their own countrymen to aid them in their wicked onslaught upon the good name, the haonor and dignity of their own people. 1 look on this brazen assault on the honor of the republic as little less than | treason, and the success of the Republi- | attain- | party alone can prevent the t of the end sought by the unholy If there were no other reasons, can men alliance. | this alone would insure my vote for the | Republican candidate for the Presidency.

In the govern- | ment of the Philippines he has not only | followed the law and the precedents, but | he has done the work efficiently and hu- ! manely.

But the Republicans were wisér. The war with Spain made large expenditures necessary. Congress authorized the borrowing of money and $200,000,00 of 3 per cent bonds were sold to our own people in sums of $25 up to | $500.

OMAHA BEE—Mr. Bryan's ideals of overnment are not peculiar to himselr. %hey are common to all intelligent Ameri- cans. But, they cannot be realized through the policies he advocates. NEW YORK TIMES—Mr. Roosevelt sees, as the President saw, that the cam- paign issue that chiefly concerns the peo- ple now is the issue of silver. The rest are trivial compared to that. CHICAGO TRIBUNE _When the people come fully to understand that the lp- pine question is one to be settled by Con- gress and not by the President they will pay no attention whatever to Bryan's clamor about “imperfalism” and ‘mili- tarism.” ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS-Mr. Bryan's_letter of acceptance gives dence of the sort of intellectual par or prostration which results overstrain of the cerebral faculties. It lacks the usual form of his oratorical temperament. CHICAGO _ JOURNAL—The United States did not participate In the wanton assault upon the Taku forts, which fired the train of Chinese vengeance and t the lives of the foreign colony at = in jeopardy. Our skirts are ciean as yet. They should be kept so. CHICAGO TRIBUNE—A part of Jeffer- son’s Loulsidna purchase {s still held under the same kind of control as that used In the Philippines. To grant Inde- pence to Luzon under Aguinaldo would be the same as grarting it to the Indian Ter- ritory under some Indian chief. PHILADELPHIA TIMES—The time has come when organized employers should frankly and manfully recognize organized labor. Such recognition wouid do more than all other causes to elevaie the character of labor leadershi and bring to the front as representatives of labor ‘he most intelligent and faithful men. PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER—We can either keep the Philippines or we can leave them, but we must do one or the other. There Is no room for any half-way course. But really the whole anti-im- perialistic contention is so absurd that one cannot escape a semse of menta humiliation In discussing it.

In due time The Call will specify the more objec- t:onable candidates named by Kelly and will give reasons why they should be defeated. It suffices to- aay to point out to all Republicans that this ticket nominated by Kelly is not in any rightful sense a Re- publican ticket. Every candidate on it might be de- feated without in any way affecting the vote for Re- publican candidates for Congress and for Presidential FElectors. Right-thinking Republicans will support nominees who rightly represent Republicanism, but they will not support the Kelly ticket. Herrin and Van Fleet may do, Republicans who are Joyal to the political principles of the party will take advantage of the opportunity of election day to kick Kelly out and the objectionable members of his ticket along with him. believing he is great Whatever | “1 say unto you hate your enemies, curse them that you, do evil to them that hate you. herefore all things whatsoever you would that men should not do unto you, do thou unto others.” The Beatitudes mmst be reversed to fit the cult of the Chapters of the Koran must be curse missionaries. transplanted into the New Testament, and the reli- | gion of mercy and compassion, represented by the beaming face of the Madonna, must be transformed to one that forgives not its enemies, that loots and murders, and the goddess Bellona must be placed in its temples to typify its spirit. The authentic reports from China—not from Chi- nese but American sources, and from soldiers at that— confirm the news of the awful outrages committed by the sacramental armies of the Christian nations. the honor of our service, Americans have had no part iz these crimes. The Buddhist warriors of Japan have also acquitted themselves with conspicuous honor in the same matter. General Fukushima, the Mikado's Field Marshal in command in China, has reported to outrages, crimes unspeakable, bestial and beyond be- lief, committed upon hundreds of helpless Chinese women by the anointed troopers of the Czar. Cleaving and quartering the deflowered bodies of these poor creatures has been the sport of the soldiery. And the missionaries stani crying, “To that add the loot of the Sacred City!” They rebuke our high-hearted soidier, Chafiee, when he appeals to any nation rep- resented there by soldiers to join him in ending the crimson carnival, an1 only Japan responds! It is our fear that these things foretell the downfall of what has been called and practiced as Christianity. The theory of Christianity does not appear in sueh yractice. The practice is on the same level as that of Chinese paganism. If it be true that by their fruits they shall be known, the two systems are twins, as | like as Castor and Poilux. The home people of the Christian nations will not be long in making compari- sons, and when they do their allegiance to Christianity will hecr‘\‘e more and more formal and perfunctory. What the world seems to need now, more than any- thing else, is a Chsistianity that is Christian. Can it be possible that the awful mistake has been made of adopting a form of the religious idea, | oriental in its origin, without considering whether | occidental man can be adapted to it? Are we incapable of projecting the metaphysical into the physical life »f our people? Theodore Parker { defined Christianity not as a dogma, but a life to be | lived. Surely we can’t live it looting, and casting the deeds of Timur and Genghiz in the shade, persuaded | thereto by Christian missionaries. H o e e FEDERAL ISSUES IN AUSTRALIA. EPORTS from Australia are to the effect that R since the federation of the colonies is assured the Australian politicians are making ready for | their first fight on federal issues. There are of course well organized parties in each province, but these will : be broken up by the new questions at stake and dif- | ferent alignments will have to be made. There is naturally a great deal of interest in the subject, and the contest will be one of the liveliest the Australians | have ever known. The issue which has taken foremost place in the minds of the people is that of tariff regulation. The leaders on each side have already organized for the conflict. A correspondent of the London Chronicle says: “The protectionists throughout the continent have been drawn closer together by means of secret conferences at Melbourne and Sydney, and by manu- facturers’ conclaves at the capital cities of most of . To | | there are reasons for believing the object is to form @ PAN-LATIN CONGRESS. : ITHIN a few days there is to assemble at | W;\[adrid. under the presidency of exAPremicr! Sagasta, an international congress which may have developments of great importance to the world, i and. particularly to the United States. The gathering | is to be known as a “Pan-Latin” conference, and | | an economic alliance against nations. the English-speaking At any rate, it is fairly certain Spain is try- ing to recoup her losses in the war with us by ar- | ranging some sort of commercial treaty with the countries of South America that will procure trade for her merchants and manufacturers, to the exclusion of those of the United States and Great Britain. A recent review of the subject says: “All Latin America, comprising Mexico, is to be represented at this congress in the Spanish capital. Portugal, prompted by the dread of seeing her still vast colo- nial possessions share the fate of those of the neigh- boring kingdom of Spain, has been quite as active in the organization of the congress as the latter, while Italy, and especially France, do not attempt to con- ceal the sympathy which they entertain for the objects which this Pan-Latia union has in view. Indeed France, which has always claimed to be the leader and representative of the Latin races, may yet endea- vor to put herseli at the head of the movement, if for no other reason than for that of increasing her impor- tance and prestige as one of the great powers of the international concert.” The gathering of a congress of that kind at Madrid coincident with the preparations now going on for a Pan-American Congress to be held in the City of Mexico shows the conflicting ways in which run the cusrents of sentiment and of trade. The Pan-Latin Congress can have hardly any other basis than one | of sentiment, while the Pan-American Congress will | | be almost wholly a business affair. The one may tend General Chaffee the most sickening and appalling | toward the formation of a military alliance, the other | would have no inclination to go further in such re- spect than a mutual resolve to uphold the Monroe doctrine. Our people are not likely to be much alarmed by what the Pan-Latin Congress does, or tries to do. By well devised reciprocity treaties we can furnish the | South American countries with such inducements to | trade with us as no European country, whether ! Latin or not, can equal, and we may safely leave our commercial interests to the operation of such trea- ties. As for the possible alliance of all the Latin races, that concerns Europe much more than us. /In the meantime, however, it will be worth while to watch what is done when the congress meets in old Madrid. Charles A. Towne, the Democratic orator, says that the present campaign comes under the head of unfin- ished business. He is mistaken. Uncle Sam has aito- gether too much new business on hand to disturb himself with what the Bryanites have left unfinished. —_— The local husband who abused his wife for refusing to believe in the occult influence of celestial bodies had the consideration at least not to make her see more stars than her unaided vision reflected to her. He never used a club in his curriculum. e The remarkable unconcern with which our State courts are overruling one another on the questions of marriage and divorce suggests that some of our jurists are not without experience in the field of do- mestic infelicity. Authorities say that San Francisco pays from seven times to fourteen times as much for water as any other city in the Union. These figures ought to sug- gest themselves as of serious interest to advocates of temperance. . PR R Two Chinese youngsters raised their voices in song the other day and warbled sweetly, “How Can I Leave Thee?” We recommend that they seek an an- swer from United States Commissioner Heacock. Civil Service Commissioner Freud has a shrewd and far-seeing business eye. He insists that all appli- cants for positions on the police force must have a reasonably small waist measurement. A man has been puz in jail in Boston for the extra- ordinary offense of throwing money away. He ought to be liberated and sentenced to live in San_Fran- cisco. 2 ‘Nione by Republicans. as Polk did in Mexico, New Mexico and California, and as Lincoln did in the States of the Southern Confederacy. All the precedents are on the President's side. The Democrats say “the very existence of the republic is in issue,” and they de- clare that to be the paramount issue of the campaign. in restoring their party to power is all the greater. Republic-ns with absolute unanimity— | men, women and children—have unitorm- | ly defended the republic. The party wa formed for that purpose. Republicans be- lieve in equal liberty, equal laws and uni- | versal obedience to lawful authority. ine wholesale disfranchisement of American citizens in Southern States is not Leing Democrats are uo- ing that. The Democratic party is not fit to gov- ern this country under modern conditions of universal freedom. ILook back upon the second administration of President Cleve. land. Upward of $250000.00 in United | States bonds were sold without special au- thority of Congress to procure gold for *he redemption reserve. Most of the bonds If that be true, the danger | tion of the war with Spain. Our Govern- { ment and people have had to face new | conaitions and to solve new problems. All | | these the President now has well in hand. | Our own countrymen and the people of ‘n(her lands understand the policy of the | United States in regard to these impor- | | tant affairs. Any change of administra- tion before all these pending questions are settled would be attended with more or less inconvenience; but to change to a radically different policy Is to assume | much risk. If the Democrats mean what | they say their success this year will work | | a complete reversal of the wise and | statesmanlike policy which has been in- | augurated in the Philippines by President | | McKinley, and new and costly troubles | would be sure to follow. Economy, justice, good government and humanity—every | good impulse and every just and righteous consideration, demands that we do not | change the policy of the administration | until the country is past the danger point. | The Chinese troubles serve to emphasiz> | the importance of keeping trained men at | the helm until the storm is scattered.
