A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE.
In the St. Louis republic of April
ftik a well conceived cartoon illustrates
tbe manner in which tbe allies are
trying to civilize tbe Chinaman. The
two ideae brought out in tbe cartoon
are the murderous use of tbe sword
and the indiscriminate practice of
looting.
When it is considered that the pow
ers in China are posing as representa
tives of the highest civilization of the
world and tbe doctrines of Christianity
it is not surprising that tbe Chinaman
does not take kindly to these ideas.
To have Christianity introduced
through a bullet hole, or civilization
injected by a sharp bayonet thrust, is
nat a pleasing process even to the
heathen Chinee.
It may be good politics and a neces
sity under tbe present regime of might
mages right, but for the sake of
decency and tbe christian religion the
nations should cease to do murder and
to plunder In His name who rebuked
Feter for drawing his sword in tbe
Master's cause.
Tbe whole thing is a travesty upon
justice, and the 900 ner this govern
ment withdraws from the unholy
alliance, tbe sooner will she be on tbe
side of right and truth.
GOOD FOR MISSOURI.
The inauguration last Tuesday of
Kolla Wells as mayor of St. Louis is
the beginning of an era of good gov
ernment fur St. Louis and a clean and
dignified administration is promised
during tbe period of the World's Fair.
Her emancipation from tbe Ziegcnheia
machine administration is a great
thing for St. Louis and she is to be
congratulated on the triumph of good
citizenship.
The state ot Missouri has cause also
to rejoice that me municipal affairs of
her World's Fair city will be in the
hands of a conservative and honest Bet
of officials. From all over the United
States and from many different parts
of the world visitors will come te tbe
fair and their impressions concerning
the state will be more or less decided
by their observations of St. Louis.
With Holla Wells as mayor ot St.
Louis and Governor Dockery at Jeffer
son City, Missouri invites the world to
visit ber and behold ber many advan
tages. TOTTERIXU THRO.NES.
A recent dispatch from St. Peters
burg announcing that tbe heir to Rus
sia's throne is being coached in the art
of czaring it over the people with tbe
prospect ot soon having to take up the
reins of government instead of tbe
present czar whose health is shattered
by recent internal commotions in his
realm, indicates that absolute mon
archies are becoming more and more
repugnant to the people with each
succeeding year. Tbe present internal
dissensions in both Germany and Rus
sia and the frequent outbursts 0 public
dissatisfaction, indicate that the time
may cot be far distant when the
already rotten foundations may be torn
from beneath tbe tottering throne of
Europe, and ber downtrodden peoples
be emancipated from ibe tyrany ot
imbecile kings and their hordes of
morally rotten prince., dukes, lords
and lesser parasites.
MORE COMBINES.
J. Pierpont Morgan's latest trust or
combine is called the Associated Mer
chants' Company and has a capital of
$20,000,000. Tbe purpose of the com
pany is to form a trust or combine of
the leading department stores of New
York and other large cities.
With his gigantic railroad combines,
ms suDsiuizeii steamship lines, bis
associated merchants' companies and
bis resurected Panama canal scheme
he will soon have a cast iron cincb 00
tbe mercantile and commercial inter
ests ot the entire country.
Wednesday
Mr. 8. Levin returned
from Kaasa. City, wticre te baa
ba-eo
spending a few days.
la writing recently concern the,"
unnecessary discussion of reorjraoiaa-
lion David B. Hill ajs: "Tbe old
party of Jefferson, Jacksoa and Tilden
till - lives and is good enough lor us.
What we need now is courage,
patience, unity and aggressiveness.
Let as adhere to the old fashioned
principles of democracy and the future
will take care of itself." Right you
are, David, and if jou would always be
good, brother Jonathan might some day
give you a piece of pie.
Emperor" William in decieeing that
the English language shall be taught
in the high schools of Germany, in
place of French, which ahall hereafter
be optional, shows that he still has
good judgment in some things and
realizes the healthy force and power
of the good old Anglo-Saxon as com
pared with the artificial "paries vous"
of the continental frog eaters.
Some of the twentieth century Bos
ton women have announced their in
tention of riding astride at the horse
show next week, notwithstanding tbe
disapproval of prudish Mrs. Grundy.
Astride saddles for women are things
upon which tbe women must be to
some extent divided.
