Special Washington Letter.
When the historian comes to write
the story of our times, one of the mysti
fying phenomena he will te compelled
to wrestle with will be the conduct of
the McKinley administration and the
Fifty-sixth congress touching the English-Boer
war. The American peoole
have hitherto been considered the prop
agandists in chief of the Democratic
idea the Idea of human liberty and it
is Inexplicable that this government
should have refused to lift its finger in
aid of the Boers, who have made the
bravest fight for freedom ever made by
any people since the world began. In
fact, it is generally believed that the
administration has connived at the
murder of the little South African re
publics by Great,Britain, and it stands
before the world as particeps criminis
in that foul, heartless and bloody deed.
The battle of Vlakf on tein serves fcnee
more to arouse interest in those heroic
defenders of their homes and native
land. It was gallantly done, but is only
the flickering light of the expiring can
dle, for without aid and assistance
from outside the result has been known
irom tne oeginning. xne oaas were
too great fox the South African heroes.
They have won Immortal glory, and
the McKinley gang have earned un
dying infamy, . v "
v. Gratuitous Advice. ";
The solicitude of the Republican or
gan grinders for the welfare of the
Democratic party is the most pathetic
thing that has happened since that
mournful and memorable occasion
when that great Missourian, Mark
Twain, shed copious tears on the grave
of Adam: Every - day ; they" suggest
some new plan for reorganizing tne
Democratic party when it needs no
reorganization and when the death of
Democracy is the one object nearest
their hearts. The utter . hypocrisy of
the entire performance is palpable, to
all who having eyes see and ears hear,
To them there Is applicable an old
Latin" dictum, "Timeo Danaos et dona
ferentes"; ("I fear the Greeks even
when they bring gifts"). But these .Re
publican advisers of Democrats do not
even bring gifts, i They give advice
where it .is not wanted and which is
both Insincere and idiotic. . Advice is
proverbially cheap, particularly the
advice..of one's enemies. ",
The St. Louis GIobe:Democrat leads
the van in the number and ridiculous
ness of its suggestions. Some of them
are eo preposterous as to be amusing.
It cannot comprehend the fact that the
Democratic party Is fully organized.
Kot only is it organized, but it Is or
ganized by men who were faithful In
1896, 1898 and 1900 in the times that
tried men's souls. It is organized na
tionally,, by states, . by counties, by
townships, by precincts. If The G.-D.
and its fellows who- are running a free
advice agency think for one. moment
that the men who have been freely
elected to places of responsibility by the
almost unanimous voice of the party
are going to step down and out in order
that an organization of the Democratic
party may be effected which will make
It a mere tender or tail for the Repub
lican party, they are vastly mistaken
as much mistaken as the man who fills
himself upon toadstools thinking he is
eating mushrooms. . rf :
: The Democratic party Is satisfied
with Senator James K. Jones and his
fellows on the national committee. If
The G.-D. et al do not like Jones & Co,
they can lump it The boys In the
trenches are busy with their crops and
other labors. They do not read these
Republican papers .to a large extent,
would not believe2 them if they did read
them, think little abouteorganization
and know full well that they are the
power which makes and unmakes poli
ticians and statesmen. They demand
fidelity In their representatives in com
mittees as elsewhere, and when they
have any reason to suspect the fidelity
of the present set they will promptly
unmake them and put another set on
guard. The Kansas" City platform is
the latest authoritative expression of
the creed. The hoys in the trenches
believe in it and will adher to It, so
that the . Republican organ grinders
may as-well conserve their energies.
An Extraordinary Performance.
All hats off to Benjamin R. Tillman,
patriot, statesman, leader, hero of South
Carolina, as he passes by ! He has per
formed a feat of which men will speak
for centuries. He possesses the cour
age of his convictions, an unwavering
faith" In the people of t"he ; Palmetto
State and ail honest scorn of power and
pelf which stamp him as a most re
markable character. ' His entire politi
cal career has been strenuous, sensa
tional, dynamic - and successful. . He
was Just beginning a six year term In
the senate his second term ana voi
untarily gave it up to settle the ques
tion whether a Democrat Is a Democrat
or whether a Democrat is only a gal
vanized ReDublican. No man in all the
broad confines of the republic Is better
fitted for his self Imposed task than is
Senator Tillman. He is a rough sur
eeon. but the case needs rough surgery.
He has no squeamishness abbu per-
forming . the operation. Most mea
would have held on to that six years'
senatorship while fighting for suprem
acy, but Tillman boldly burned his
bridges behind him, took his political
life In bis bands and challenged his en
emies to do tlxelr worst. In go doing be
challenges something else the admlra
tion of mankind. Men and women,"too,
love a brave man, and Tillman is brave
even unto . temerity. .Pope . says ' that
"an honest man is the noblest work of
God," and Tillman Js scrupulously hon
est. People have respect for brains:
and Tillman carries around in his bead,
a bushel of that necessary article. -
" An Astounding; Decision.
The decision of the supreme court of
the United States 5 to 4 that Porto
Rico " belongs to the' United State
but is not a part of it, is unfortunate,
even astoundine. It ia franc-ht with
manifold danger and starts us upon a
limitless ocean without chart or com
pass.- "VVe may now be said to be
launched upon a colonial policy whose
end no .man may predict and whose
evils no mathematician may calculate.
The idea that one part of the United
States is subject to the constitution
and must be ruled In accordance there
with and that another- part Is not
under the constitution and is to be gov
erned Independent of it is clearly ab-
surrt, and. will be. so regard ea"by all
men who have -a fair quantum of
brains.. No matter what five Judges of
the supreme court decide, they can't
make black white, or vice versa.
The United States is doing now the
identical thing against which our fore
fathers rebelled and against which they
fought the greatest power on earth for
seven long years, over which power
they gained a glorious and memorable
victory at Yorktown of blessed mem
ory. Tney fought against the prin
ciples of taxation without representa
tion. That was the sole cause of quar
rel, with Great Britain. They achieved
a great , triumph at a great cost of
treasure, blood and life. No sane man
can believe that shortly ' after estab
lishing, independence they deliberately
formed a constitution which could be
reasonably construed as providing for
the very evil to root out which they
took up arms against King George III
and his mighty empire, upon which
the sun never sets and whose morning
drumbeat encircles the globe. On the
contrary, intelligent men everywhere
will believe that they did all that wis
dom could, devise to guard forever
against the evils over which they had
just triumphed and that consequently
the five judges are wrong. This is a
law abiding country, but nevertheless
where there is a will there is a way
This decision no more settles the ques
tion at the bar than the Dred Scott de
cision settled the Blavery question. It
is queer how history repeats Itself.
It is strange that Mr. Justice Brown
and his four companions in error did
not think of Chief Justice Torrey and
his associates and what came of their
decision. When the Dred Scott deci
sion was rendered, many people flatter
ed themselves that the slavery agita
tion was laid at rest forever and for
ever. How vast was their mistake was
demonstrated In the awful history of
this country from 1861 to 1865. Mr.
Justice. Brown's political decision for
it Is an insult to the intelligence of
mankind to dominate it a judicial de
cision will not produce a civil war or
hurry it on, but that it will be over
thrown, reversed, held for naught and
it and its authors made to stink in the
nostrils of the people there can be no
doubt. Carried to its legitimate con
elusion, his opinion means the over
throw of the republic, and the people
do not intend that the republic shall be
overthrown. . They will overthrow- a
good many people and things before
they will see a despotism take the
place of our benignant government
All this talk about depending on the
patriotism, wisdom and. humanitarian
ism of congress not to be unmerciful to
our new subjects in the exercise of its
extra constitutional powers is nauseat
ing utterly so. Our fathers did not
depend on the mercy of anybody.- They
placed it beyond the power of man to
oppress them and their posterity and
their fellow citizens, . but now -come
Mr. Justice Brown and his partners
and tear down so far as In them lies
the barriers erected ' by the fathers
fresh from the blood stained and glo
rious fields of the Revolution.
; We have only about 12,000,000 sub
jects now and 77,000,000 citizens. That
looks like . a large disproportion and
may appear harmless, but there Is no
limit to the number of subjects the
republic may acquire. She may an
Uex China with her 600,000,000 Celes
tials; also Central and South Amer
ica and, no telling what else and whom
else. The subjects may come, to out
number the citizens 20 to 1. Then an
American Caesar and a supple congress
will deluge the continent in blood to
establish a despotism here. All these
things might grow from the Brown de
cision, but I believe that the good
sense of the American people will find
a peaceable remedy, tnat in -iuu we
will elect a Democratic, therefore a pa
triotic. house of representatives and
that in 1904 we will burl the imperial
istlc party out of power forever..
Judge Harlan.
That Mr. Chief Justice Fuller and
other Democrats on the bench would
declare against imperialism was gen
erally expected, but that Mr." Justice
Harlan and Mr. Justice Brewer would
have courage, patriotism and inde
pendence enough to break with their
party fellows was a thing fervently
prayed for, but doubtful of realization.
Judge Harlan's case was peculiar. The
president bad appointed his son and
Mr. Justice McKenna'S son to lucra
tive and honorable positions pending
this decision and, as , thousands be
lieved, still believe and always will be
lieve, for the purpose of influencing the
decision. If that was the purpose,
heaven be thanked Judge Harlan
proved superior to temptation and no
bly discharged bia duty to his country
and his kind. vThoee who. knew him
best never doubted what bis line of
conduct would be. "He Is a Kentuck-
Ian by birth and a lawyer by Inherit

Militarism.
The sapient Iowa State Register cas
ually remarks:
It is proposed to Increase the strength of tit
Belgian army to 130,000 men. Yet th talk about
"militarism" in the United States, where
bars feat than halt that number ia our arm ft '
And the sapient Globe-Democrat
quotes The Register approvingly. Now,
it fa pertinent to inquire, "Do these
great 'Republican papers favor milita
rlsm? If they do not vhy sneer at
those who oppose H7" The Ceglster la
the. organ of Republicans In Iowa,
whose Republican legislature so gerry
mandered the state that the Democrats
cannot elect even one member, though
they have votes enough to elect frve on
any equitable apportionment Aa the
Republicans run things In the Hawk-
eye State and nave an overwnelming
majority, consequently The Register
can with Impunity advocate any un-
American doctrine It pleases milita
rism. Imperialism, Casarlsm or what
not but will The Globe-Democrat state
without equivocation, evasion or men
tal reservation that it desires to see
militarism established In thia country?
It will dare to do no such thing, but
satisfies Itself by advocating it by quo
tation or Innuendo. Suppose poor little
Belgium, permits blase old King Leo
pold to aaddle her with an army of
180,000 men In order to promote his
schemes of plunder for his own behoof
or to enable him to strut around In
company with bigger royal robbers.
what then? Does that make militarism
either necessary or desirable or pru
dent for us? Are we In the business
of aping European monarchies? Espe
cially have we fallen so low that we
are willing to have the pace set for os
by Belgium, one of the toy kingdoms

INDIAN MAPLE SUGAR
THE RED MAN TAUGHT THE WHITE
MAN TO MAKE THE DAINTY.
I Its Manufacture "Was P etleed W
AI1 X art hern Indians aad Was
Kiowa to Those Llvlaa- aa Tar
oath aa Florlaa aad Texas.
Very few of the people to whom ma
ple sugar ia an entirely famJUar and
commonplace thing are aware of the
fact that the method of making auar
was taught to the white people by the
Indians and that they made suir long
before the discovery of America. This
la only one of the many things that the
white people learuod from the Indiana.
Others were the weaving of cotton, the
cultivation of Indian corn and the usa
of tobacco.
Some of the early wrlfrra tell as that
the Krr-nth t'ore the frst to make th!
Ft,?ar nnd that they learned how to
iae it t Aft J tho Indian women. The
sap waa collected In a rude way. a gash
being cut la the tree, and Into this a
stick waa thrust down which the free
ly flowing sap dripped into a vessel of
Dircn bark or a gourd or Into woodra
troughs holiowetl out by Ere r the ax.
Then Into larger wooden troughs full
of tho sap redbot stones were thrown.
just as Jn old times tbey used to be
thrown Into the water In, which food
waa boiled, aud by constantly throwing
In hot stones and taking out those that
had become cool the sap waa tolled
and evaporated, and at length alnrn
was made, which later became sugar.
This manufacture of th sugar was
not confined to any one tribe, but was
practiced by ail northern Indians and
was knowu to those living as far south
as Florida and Texas. Amog the
Bugar making tribe a special festival
was held, which was called the maple
dance, which waa undoubtedly a re
ligious festival In the nature "of a
prayer or propitiatory ceremony, ask
ing for an abundant flow of sap and
for good fortune In collecting It
Among many If not all the Indiana
Inhabiting the northern United States
maple sugar was not merely a luxury,
something eaten because it was tooth
some, but was actually aa Important
part of their support Mixed with
poumieu, panned corn. It was put up
In small quantities and was a concen
trated form of nutriment not much
less valuable In respect to Its quality
of support than the pemtnlcan which
waa used almost down to our own
times.
Among all the older writers who had
much familiarity with the customs of
the Indiana accounts are given of the
manufacture of sugar, and this custom
waa so general that among many
tribes the month In which the sap ran
best was called the sugar month. By
the Ironuols the name Ratiroataks.
meaning tree eaters, waa applied to the
Algonquin tribes, and an eminent an
thority. Dr. Brinton. has suggeted
tnat they were probably "so called
from their love of the product of the
sugar maple." On the other hand.
A. F. Chamberlain has very plausibly
said "that It Is hardly likely that the
Iroquois distinguished other tribes by
this term, if Its origin be as suggested.
since they themselves were sugar mak
ers and eaters.
A more probable origin of the word Is
that given by Schoolcraft in substance
as follows: "Ratlrohtaka, whence Adl-
rondacks, was applied chiefly to the
Montagnais tribes, " north of the St
Lawrence, and was a derisive term In
dlcatlng a well known habit of these
tribes of eating the Inner bark of trees
in winter wnen rood was scarce or
when on war excursions."
This habit of eating the Inner bark of
trees was, as Is well known, common
to many tribes of Indians, both those
who Inhabit the country where the ug
ar maple grows and aho those In other
parts of the country where the maple
la unknown.
un me western prairies sugar was
made also from the box cider, which
trees were tapped by the Indians and
the sap boiled down for sugar, and to
day the Cheyenne Indians till us that
it was from this tree that they derived
all the sugar that they had until the
arrival of tho white man on the plains
something more than CO years ago.
It Is Interesting to observe that In
-many tribes today the word for sugar
Is precisely the word which they sp-
plicd to the product of the maple tree
before tbey knew the white roan's scg
ar. It la Interesting also to see that
among many tribes the general term
for sugar means wood or tree. water-
that Is to say, tree sap. This Is true f
the Omahas and roncaa, according to
J. O. Dorset, and alo of the Kansas,
Osage and Iowa, Winnebago, Tuscaro
ra and Tawnee. The Cheyennes, on
the other hand, call It box eider water.
A. F. Chamberlain, who has gone with
great care Into the question of the
meaning of the words which designate
the maple tree and Its product Is dis
posed to believe that the name of the
maple means the tree In other words,
the real or actual tree or the tree which
stands above all others. Forest and
