"THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN." Kuiiyard Kipling has just published poem bearing t,lie above title, and supposed to have been inspired by the present attitude of the United States in the East. Kipling io the moct tjpical of Kncl'.ehmen and his faith in his race is sublimely blind. lie is very much impressed with the divinely appointed mission of the White man to conquer the earth, solely for the benefit of the conquered, and so he tolls us: "Take up the White Man's bimleu—

.. AU of which phrasi are very poetic and pleasing to the ear but are nut especially valuable as precepts to be followed l\v political economists, lie uses many more ringing phrasts about the "savage wars of peac ," tilling the "moutn of Famine," etc., which contain enough truth to make very g.-od poetry, but skilfully avoids any allusion to some very highly obj-ction»ble features ot ihLs self appiinttd "Wine

Man's Burden." We mi^ht iuler from from the poem that it is altogether a matter of conscience with the Whit" Man. A very disinterested crcatur" is ho. Of conscience satining ihrase^ that please a people bent on conquestno other perhaps has so seductive a.id soothing a sound as that of "iiiHMife*! dostiny." It is so doligh'fmiy imleiin ite, a mantlii covering a multitude of uncertain things and wldch, though nameless, yet are very, very 'desirable. How smoothly does it glide l'rotn th» tongue of scheming politician, tiiklmj for public favor. Pleasing mde.-d, i« it to national vanity to be told how verygreat we are and that it is our destiny to possess the earth and the fullness thereof, carrying with us civilization and the blessed missionary spirit of Christr lanity.

But let i\s be honest with ourselves and call a spade by its proper appelu tion. Tbe Anglo-Saxon is vastly proud of his record as a herald of civilization. The deaerts have bloomed at his comlog a:.d wastes have smiled with new harvests. His banner tins Hosted fore, most in the march of empire. No race has shown such virility and versatility as the Anglo-Saxon. He has posseted himself of the best of all ages, of all climes, and of all races. lie has redeemed lands but he has madi them the graves of aboriginal penp es. He has carried civilization, but he hacivilized no barbarians. He has introduced good government, but ha has taught no people how to govern themselves. He has given liberty- -the liberty to .serve him, or to die ai .1 give him room. His arts of peace ar»- .nore blighting to an inferior race thii'i his ar: of

and

war. la short, to say that the AngloSaxon has spread civilization is another way of saying that, he has established himself in nianyj lands. He has made no people better. He has simply destroyed them and neized their territory. Is his sense of duty BO keen as some very able advocates of expansion would have us believe? il It is but a few months einca all the world was horrified by the Armenian atrocities. Yet no effort was made for the relief of these people by the nation that carries the heavy part of this "White Man's Burden." The shadow of oneof the most terrible famines known to history yet lingers over India, where the Hindoo holds himself apart in sullen subjection to an armed master. If England's rule in India has been a blessing to the Hindoo it is a blessing well dieguisio. The pain truth is that the White Man will take up his"Burden" if there is money in carry ing it, her A-ise he just a9 certainly will not. \\'ecannot deceive the world at large by prating about our duty to an inferior race. We had just as well openly declare our intention of making gain and free ourselves from the suspicion of hypocraey. The missionary roll is one not altogether becoming to us as a nation and perhaps we shall do quite as well going along in tbe same old way we have tr veled for a century.

THE

average Cuban has been engage-

ed for so long a time in being a patriot and nothing ele, that he seems to have forgotten ho'v to ba a common useful citizens Now that the Sp-tniards are goue, there is great need that he should go to work and retreive his country from the disasters of the past. It will be practically the task ol' redeeming and settling a wilderness and that cannot bo done by anything less than work. It is time for the Cuban to begin to show that he is worthy of the liberty he has lined and is capable of sustaining it beyond the theoretical stage.

passed

into

the hands of its new managers. One of the editors had been for sometime trying to secure the endorsement of the committee for his sheet, and so loud disturbance was made |by him that newspapercommitt.ee was appointed to endeavor by all possible means to consolidate the paperB. This one man would do nothing save demand recognition as the "nrgan." There were other and more able claimants for the same distinction, and the committee could do nothing. Kvery imaginable proposition was made to him and ho declined them all, and to the very last demanded official recognition. At last

plant was purchased by

the present management. No sooner was the fact known than the aforesaid editor started an emissary out to see the members of the Central Committee livir.g outside of Crawfordsville. By various misrepresentations ho secured tbe signatures of several of the Committeemen to what he claimed was a "recommendation" of his paper. He got the signatures in nearly every instance by misrepresentation. This thing he published in his paper under large headlinee, and then the eatne agent in the getting of the names, went out over the county informing the people that all deals were off and that the committee had "endorsed" his paper. He secured a few names thus to his list. •So the matter stood until last Saturday when the newspaper committee called the Central Committee together and made to it a voluminous report, setting forth in detail all their efforts at consolidation, giving the reasons why they had failed, and setting forth the msnts of HE

paper in an impartial manner, and not recommending either for an endorse, ment. The friends of this man fought the adoption of the report bitterh, but it went through with an overwhelming majority. So those who have been bunkoed into subscribing for the "official organ" will have time to ruminate Tor a year on the vain tricks and bland ways of the "Heathen Chinee" aB described by Bret Ilarte.

At this meeting the Committeemen

were gold

Standard men. aud at the meeting he was called upon to prove his assertion. He made an ignominious failure, aud retreated in confusion, having been made to appear in his true colors.

Ti sense of the meeting was that the oil'euding, deceiving and misrepresenting editor be called upon at onco, and informed that he must publish on the following Saturday, or sooner, a com plete retraction of ail he had said ami published, and givo a true statement of the case, or the committee would do it for him the following week ill TnE KKVII.W, the Journal and the S^ar. So far he has dodged the issue, only hintiug at it in the issue of lust Tuesday, when he tamely says: "The is in receipt of a letter from a reader who wishes to know if we consider the recommendation which we have published several times as an official endorsement.

In answer to our correspondent wo will say that wo certain do not consider the recommendation as an ollicial endorsement and hope no one elso will so consider it. Tbo js til tin Hid hI organ of out of every 100 Democrats in this county, but it is not au official organ and we do not intend to bo held respoi.sible for the position which such a paper would be compelled '.o follow. i'he. is the property of its publisher and as such its policy will be that of the publisher who will, in the future as in the past, advocate Democratic principles only and support Democratic tickets our policy will not be subject to the dictation of any mau or set of men, although at ail times we etial 1 be pleased to advice with our friends as to the tie^t course to pursue to aid the Democratic cans". We -ppreciate the splendid recommendation given the by the executive and centra! committees but a recommendation is not an endorsement and we hjve no wish to lead anyone to to think so, certainly we have never made any such claim." This does not express in any way whatsoever what the committee found him guilty of, nor did he intend it to. It may not be satisfactory t» 'the men he lias deceived. lie has not confessed to the public his deception and misrepresentation. The committee was probably too hard on him. It is an awful thing for a an to tell the public just what he is, even though the public may know it anyway. No man on the witness stand is called upon to give testimony that will criminate him and put either his body or good name in jeopardy. So in this case, no one will be hurt save the guilty, and he cannot be worse humiliated thaD he already is, and time will only add to it HK

would much prefer that he not be compelled to tell the whole truth in reference to his work of the past few mouths. We wculd not like to do 60. were we in his position, and therefore urge charity toward him. When a man is down never kick him is a good rule to go by. They demanded and fought hard to have the newspaper committee discharged, but it was continued, by a large majori y. They were more than anxious to let go the animal they had'Btirred up, but could get no help. The committee stands.

has had some in­

terests at stake in the matter, yet has said not a word, knowing that the time would come when all the crookedness and misrepresentation would be unmasked and the guilty plotters made to stand before the public in their true light. Silence may have lost us something but we waited until the committee mide its report. We gi.e a statement of it now, for the reason that theie is no other avenue through which the public may be informed,and not because we have an enemies to punish.
