The man who does not advertise be cause it costs money, should quit living for the same reason. The United States senate is Repub lican. It does not need the vote of Quay for any party measure. If it de liberately violates law and defies the popular will by seating Quay the peo ple will hold the Republican party re sponsible for such violation of national decency.—Chicago Times-Herald, Rep. The Republican party is pledged to bimetallism. Were we blunderers when we shouted over and over again for re monetization. I want the double stand ard. So do 1,300,000,000 of people of this world of ours, while only 200,000,- 000 want the single gold standard. We want the real money of the world to be $8,000,000,000 in coin. They want it to be only $4,000,000,000. The difference means injustice, injury, suffering and distress to millions of God's poor people the world over, while the gold class is to wax fat at the cost of their helpless victims. —Senator Chandler, sep. New York is on the threshold of a Democratic redemption. In 1896 the P.lack majority was 246,000. It was Clevelandism that did that. In 1897 it bleached to 80,000. In 1898 it whit ened out still further, and stood as 18,500. In 1899 the Republicans in their superiority fade and pale to a trifle above 9,000. In 1900 —mark "The Verdict's" word—that superiority will have died and disappeared—buried un der a Bryan plurality of 50,000. And all this makes the morose and sulky reason of present Republican gloom. The farther they travel the darker it gets.—The Verdict. Attorney General Griggs declared in his speech at Quincy, Ills., referring to the Philippine war, that "the Filipinos of Luzon who have attempted to drive the lawful authority of the United States from the island, comprise not one-tenth of 1 per cent of the people of these islands." This is very thrill ing, but let us figure a little. If there are 8,000,000 people in the Philippines and less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of them are opposing our authority we are confronted by not more than 8,000 enemies. Yet the secretaries of war and navy announce that within the six weeks they will have 70,000 troops and 50 warships on or about the islands to suppress the 10,000 insurgents. Some of the end men of the Mckinley cara van have no sense of proportion. De riding the Filipinos as cowardly sav ages, they pro&aim it takes nine Amer icans to down one Filipino.—Pittsburg Post. Since the cession Puerto Rico lias been denied Che principal markets she had long enjoyed, and our tariffs have been continued against her products as when she was under Spanish sov ereignty. The markets of Spain are closed to her products except upon terms to which the commerce of all nations is subjected. The island of Cuba, which used to buy her cattle and tobacco without customs duties, now imposes the same duties upon those products as from any other coun try entering her ports. She has, there fore, lost her free intercourse with Spain and Cuba without any compen sating benefits in this market. Her coffee was little known and not in use by our people, and, therefore, there was no demand here for this, one of her chief products. The markets of the United States should be opened up to her products. Our plain duty is to abolish all customs tariff between the United States and Puerto Rico, and give her products free access to our markets. —McKinley's Message. When a trust can make $42,500,000 a year on a capital of $25,000,000, as the Carnegie-Frick combine has done; when the Standard Oil trust declares a quarterly dividend of $20,000,000; when Mr. Carnegie's annual income is over $24,000,000 and Mr. Rockefeller's $30,000,000, it is not necessary to say that such imperial revenues can only be derived from the exercise of monop oly's power to tax the people unjustly. Neither Mr. Carnegie nor Mr. Rocke feller can possibly render such ser vice to society as honestly to earn wages so colossal. And these two gen tlemen represent a class who are daily milking the public as they do, though with less dazzling results. The trusts lay the entire country under enforced tribute—which simply means robbery. The trusts are looting the American people as truly as though they were successful invading armies. Their wea pon of extortion is monopoly. The in terstate commerce commission has been about as serviceable in curing the abuses of railroad administration as a snub from Professor Hadley to Col lis P. Huntington would be. The Chica go conference adheres to the true prin ciple. It strikes at the root of the trust tree instead of concerning itself with the branches. The partnership between the railroads and the trusts is at the bottom of most of the monopoly which piles up such fortunes as Mr. Rockefeller enjoys. That neither Mr. Carnegie nor Mr. Rockefeller is in need of any government protection is as clear as daylight.—Philadelphia North American, Rep, IMPEniAMPM. ~ Flornrcn r<h<nviii of Our Iro -1 rinliMtlc b oily. Uofoie the civil war broke out in 1861 the evpenres of the federal government j ranged between 50 and 00 millions a year, and only in one year reached as high a figure as $73,000,000. During the Mexican war the highest yearly outlay was 351,000.000. The year the civil war commenced the expenditures were < nly $06,050,000, but they mounted up v 'ry rapidly after Fort Sumter, reach ing their maximum in 1865. the year the War ended, with over a million sol diers in the field, the enormous total being 1,295 millions of dollars. There was a big drop after the war closed, pud in 1860 the expenditures wore 519 millions, then falling to 242 millions in 1885-86, the first year of the Cleveland administration. After the census leg islation of 1890 there was a rapid in crease, and in IS9B the expenditures went up over a hundred millions and were 443 millions of dollars. Secretary Gage on Monday, as re quired by law, sent to congress esti mate? for the appropriations for the next year ending July 1, 1901. The aggregate is $631,081,994, or 38 millions over the estimates for the cur rent year and 34 millions over the ap propriations, i The total on account of pensions is $145,230,222, which is a decrease of ' $3,380 compared with the current year, from which it would be supposed that pensions were on the down grade, but the West Indian and Philippine pon j sions remain to be heard from. Our army and naval expenditures are in creasing. For '.lie army next year 190 millions is asked, and for the navy 76 millions, an increase over the current j year in both branches oi the service of "2 millions. Our army, navy and pension expen ditures for the coming year foot up the enormous sum of $111,812,772, leaving from the grand total the sum of $219,- 269,221 for all other purposes of gov ernment. We are not only hearing ! but passing the totals of European im perialism. Nearly two-thirds of the enormous aggregate of national expen diture goes to war and navy and the | pensions of past wars. President McKinley's national book keeper figures up that he will need for I the closing year of the McKinley ad ministration the neat sum of $631,000,- j 000. The average rate of expenditure lof Cleveland's administration was $270,000,000 a year, and for his second administration $365,000,000, the in i crease resulting mainly from the de pendent pension law, which he vetoed his first term and became a law in the | Harrison interregnum. To state the case fully, the appropri ations and expenditures of the four years of the McKinley administration, | accepting Secretary Gage's estimates for the closing year, will be as follows: 1897-98 $443,368,583 1898-99 700.093,564 1899-1900 600,958,112 I 1900-01 631,081,394 j The difference between 631 millions of dollars a year and 270 millions of dollars a year represents the difference in cost between Cleveland's American policies and McKinley's imperialist rage. Are we not paying a little too much for our whistle? And yet Presi dent McKinley at the outset of his message declares that the conditions of the country "are of unusual prosperity, of universal good will among the peo | pie at home and in relations of peace | and friendship with every government jof the world." We are paying at the rate of six and seven hundred millions of dollars a year for it. for every penny is drained from the pockets of the people by taxation. It is their sub stance that is being thrown away on anti-American policies. SufTcriiiK Puerto II ho. Dispatches from Puerto Rico show that the condition of the island which welcomed our troops so enthusiastical ly is most deplorable. "There is no money to plant crops or to pay labor ers, thousands of whom are on the j point of starvation. The local press expresses the opinion that the condi ' tions were belter during the darkest ! days of the Spanish regime." Imagine that, and try to put your self in the place of the American citi zen who is willing to have that shame remain upon the American flag be cause he thinks that if the starving Puerto Ricans were allowed to sell their products freely in our markets, as the president has recommended, his | profits might be diminished by their competition. Suppose that when we were expand ing so blithly in August, 1898 —when the Puerto Ricans were scattering flow ers before our invading soldiers and shouting "Vivan los Americanos"— some cynical, unpatriotic, small Amer ican had said: "What fools! These people have seen their best days. Spain has been their true benefactor. Spain has made them prosperous. Under our ; rule their industries will decay, their laborers will starve, their crops will j rot on their wharves, and we shall let them go to ruin, so that they may not bother us in our markets." What should we have said to that base libel ; er of this country? ! The present condition of Puerto Rico should have been absolutely incredible and inconceivable to Americans of two years ago. We thought we knew our own hearts, and we should have said with entire confidence that wherever our flag went it would go as a messen ger of benediction. Has a year and a half of empire stripped us of all the fine feelings of humanity with which we went into tlie war for Cuban lib erty and turned us into a race of mer cenary oppressors?- -Philadelphia North American, Rep. Between the civilizing expansion of Jefferson and the brutal imperialism of McKinley there is a difference as great —well, as great as the difference be tween the two men. There is no Dem j ocrat who opposes imperialism as Mc- Kinley seeks to introduce it who would not support expansion as Jefferson in augurated it. —Bourke Cochran. And so this "criminal war," as Chamberlain himself described it in prophecy years ago, is to go on, with all its "appalling misery and devasta tion." England at last proclaims that her purpose is the extinction of the republics. And no voice in all the world—not even that of the great re public, sympathizer hitherto with ev ery struggling people's fight for liberty —is raised to avert or to mitigate this century's crowning crime against the 1 lights of man! —New York World. IIII'S in DISKS. The Great Area In Which the Famine Is Raging. THIRST CLAIMS VICTIMS Drought Has Spoiled the Crops and the Natives Suffer the Pangs of Hunger—Sufferers Numbered by the Million. The shaded portion of this map shows the vast region in India in which the prevailing famine is most severely felt. Some districts outside this area are suffering to a less ex tent, but their position has not been clearly indicated, as attention is cen tred upon the regions where relief is most imperatively demanded. As a rule, the famines which now and then afflict India are most severely felt in regions which in normal years have a sufficient supply of rain, and those re gions that are always delicient in rain fall are more likely to escape famine because they are supplied with irriga : lion canals fed by streams coming from the mountains and very often have enough water in years of drought i to raise crops. The famine-affected area, marked on the map, includes about three hundred | and fifty thousand square miles, or over a tenth of the area of the United States. It embraces the central prov inces. the southeast and central Pun jab and Hajputaua. ami though none of the most densely peopled regions is embraced in this territory, its popula tion is about thirty millions. The fnni . ine is due to the fact that throughout last year there was scarcely any rain in that part of India. Many thousands of people began to suffer the pangs of hunger in September last and there is now no possibility of relieving the dis | tress by the growth of local crops till 1 a year from that time. ! Thirst, also claims many victims, for in some large districts drinking water has almost entirely failed. Crops were sown as usual, but after peeping through the ground the young blades turned yellow and perished, (irain has been imported from more fortunate parts of the peninsula, but in Decem ber last the price had risen to four times the usual cost, and the poor. CoA y*, \\IYLON (Famine district of India.) | who form most of tlie population, had Ino menus to buy breadstuffs. The doutlis from starvation were few until nearly the end of the year, but tile misery of the enfeebled people steadi ly increased and now they are dying | by thousands. J Tlie appalling growth of the evil is | shown by the tremendous increase in j the number of persons employed on I relief works or to whom relief is ex tended. in the second week of Decem ber last the number was 1,038,842 in | I lie third week it, was 1,357,'.H1T. I.ord I ' 'urzou cabled to London a few days j ago that tlie number of persons now , on tiiese lists is 4,374,000. As many J persons as possible receive eniploy- I incut on public works which are start | cd in tlie stricken districts, the idea lie ing thai it is best, as far as practice j tile, to have works of public utility to j show for the immense sums that must lie disbursed to relieve distress, j Of course there are hundreds of thousands who must be cared for and | who can make no return, Since 1877 (iovermnent agencies have been estali- J lislied for the application of speedy re- I lief, and though it seems impossible to prevent an enormous death rate | where tlie lives of so many millions are jeoparded, yet the evils of famine have been greatly mitigated of late [ years by tlie relief extended from | Government and private resources. No Others Like Them. Three extraordinary idols of brass have just arrived in Liverpool from India.

How She Escaped a Punishment for Drunkenness. ' A funny old Irish woman by her presence of mind and the natural gifts of her race got off without a penalty fiom the Southwark magistrate. She courtesied deeply to His Worship as sue entered the dock, charged with be ing intoxicated. For answer she said: 'Sure, Your Worship, I couldn't help it. I had a little drop, and, begorra, was singing: "While English and Irish fall fighting together, Their blood gets mixed up in one red red stream, ochone! There is hope for this country when English and Irish Are fighting together away from their home.' "Sure, how could I help singing that? You can't prevent the Irish singing." She then said she would very much like to be sworn and give evidence, as she would rather "kiss the Book than i the blarneystone." Paul Taylor, how ever. told her he would not put her to the test, but under the circumstances would discharge her. The old lady clapped her hands in delight, wished the magistrate good luck, and com menced crooning : "The English and Irish fall fighting together," but she was hurried from the court before she could complete the quatrain.—London Telegraph. Limits to His Gratitude. "1 feel that I ought to make some acknowledgement to the people who were so kind to us during my late ! wife's last sickness," said Mr. Phroogle, I "and 1 would like to have you insert this card of thanks in a prominent place in this week's paper." i "We are obliged to make a charge for I these notices," replied the editor of the Weekly Blizzard, looking over the j manuscript, "and this will cost you sl." | "Then you needn't publish it," le joined Mr. Phroogle. "I am not quite i as grateful as all that comes to."—Chi > cago Tribune. The Ruse That Failed. j The Indians had bound their captive j to the stake when the conventional J happy thought struck the latter. "If you burn me," he exclaimed, "the sun will be darkened to-morrow." "You will find," replied the Indian, "if you calculate the parallax to the forty-third decimal place, that the eclipse does not take place until tlie day after to-morrow."
