WHERE OUR STRENGTH RESIDES.

The Iowa Register strikes the keynote of
American greatness and strength when it
compares the reception accorded Emperor
William of Germany in England with that
we would show him if he should come to
the United States. In England he was
given taste of English strength by a
naval display that has not been paralleled
in the century, and by a show of arms and
armies that must have greatly impressed
him with British might. But he would
ride for weeks through the American Re-
public and catch never glimpse of the
standing army, unless he realized that he
was in the midst of it when he moved
among the people. We could not marshal
six miles of armored ships of war to pass
in review before him; nor give him the
music of seven thousand guns in unison ::
nor could we open to hisgaze forts, arsenals
and fortresses, that would be worth while
for him to turn his head to see; but, as the
Register SO well puts it
If he were TO ask to see the signs OF American
greatness he would be shown the free schools
that cot the land, and light up the darkest cor
ners of ignorance and superstition. He would
be shown the colleges and universities thas eX-
pand and develop the talents which the public
schools have revealed. He would be shown the
hospitals and asylums, and industrial homes
where the suffering and destitute, and wayward
can find gentle care and friendly assistance. He
would have pointed out to him the broad fields
that yield the bread on which countless millions
feed; the manufactures that turn out the pro-
ducts that spring from the inspired brain and
cunning hand, and tighten the burden of hui
mainly with the comforts and couveniences of
modern invention. He would see the splendid
triumphs OF mechanical genius and skill; the
mighty engines that look as If they might al
most made good the bosst of Archimedes; the
powerful bridges that span impossible ehasms:
the railroads that girdle the continent and carry
the commerce of tne world through canyons
at dizzy nights and under mountains at startl-
ing depths. BE would see the churches on
whose affairs the fire of sincere piety and gentle
charity never goes out the couatless associa
tions and organizations for the relief of suffer-
ing, for the destruction of vice and the promo
ton of virtue. And il that were not enough he
could be shown the homes of the land, within
whose sacred portals is the arsenal of American
strength, where love of country and love of God
and love for all that is true and noble is taught
at a mothers knee, and from whose walls went
forth the immortsls with proud step and radi-
ant look, to die that the Union might live. In
such homes and at such hresides can daily be
found the source and the supply of Americas
true greatness.

that our Government has been shipping

Now, how can you look for protection

Our Government will have to take
some immediate action toward subsidizins

and while this is being accomplished she
has her eye on another point and is ad-
vanclng toward il. This country acts an a
contrary policy. Its lines establish them
selves and then wait for the flag to follow.
Our Congress should adopt the British pol

This proposed meeting will be held
none too soon. We want our CONGRESSIONAL
representatives to be able to 60 before the

the town. The strangest part of the story
is, that under the former Postmaster sew
eral colored clerks were employed, and this
same woman worked in the office cheek by
jowl with them and made no complaint
but the Postmaster was then a Democrat,
and so were the negro clerks. Perhaps
there is something in political profession
that renders the situation tolerable in one
case and intolerable in another. There
was no complaint that the duties of the
clerks required them to fraternize socially,
or that the relation in the Office exacted
social equality outside of it. The woman
at least has won present and ephemeral
notoriety, and has managed to stir Atlanta
to the depths and set the old-time masters
wild who were not contaminated by draw
ing milk from the breasts of negro nurses,
and who were in no way offended by con-
tact with colored servants contact that
sometimes went to the extent of strangely
affecting the complexion and tractability

tinguished from national interest. The
marriage of water and land results in the
birth of production, the building of States
in the desert, the increase of communities,
the multiplication of industries, the aug
mentation of national wealth and greatness,
and the engagement of the best energies
of the people. To effect such ends is one
of the highest purposes of government
Senator Jones, of the committee, is I'M
questionably right when he declares that
from the examination he has made of the
matter, he is convinced that there is no
work of greater Importance in which the
United States Government can engage at
this time. 1t is not exactly question of
the acquisition of new territory, yet it
bears close resemblance to it, since the
scheme means the utilization of lands we
now have, but which are valueIess to us in
their present condition. If we can bring
these lands under subsection to the pillow,
we literally add to our territory millions
of acres of fertile soil We have been
told that the destiny of this country will
not be fulfilled until there are no more
acres to occupy, no more soil to cultivate :;
that the republic is safe from all possible
fears ofdomestic turmoil and stress, so long
as there is room for the building of homes
and the march of the westward
army of American conquerors. In polit-
ical sense, therefore, the highest value at
taches to the movement under considera-
ton. By the utilization of our arid lands
we will provide new outlets for the popu-
lous East for investment of its capital, and
the sending out of its industrial classes to
conquer the soil to the arts of peace, and
provide enlarged markets for the traders
and manufacturers of the country. In the
homes of a nation reside its chief strength.
The proposed arid land irrigation is a
work of home building; it is, therefore, the
most benefcent and the greatest of ma
tional works

THE San Francisco Board of Education
has tabled a resolution to float the Ameri-
can flag over the school buildings of that
city, and to have the children once a
month, at Assembly" sing 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" The Board has done
itself no credit by this rejection of very
proper measure. The action may be in
trepreted to mean that the Board cares but
little whether the patriotic sentiment is
cultivated among the children or not; but
it is very solicitious about introducing
things into the public schools that have no
place there rightly, and that were never
contemplated in the scheme of popular
free education-as, for instance, the teach.
ing of sewing to girls and some of the arts
of housewifery also. A little alag" lesson
would not have done the scheme of the
Board any injury, and might have given
the people better idea and closer view of
the patriotism Of the members.

A RACE excitement has been the theme
in Atlanta recently, and great deal has
been made out of very little. The new
Postmaster appointed negro clerk in his
Office, the man being in the line of employ
ment under the civil service law and win
ming the place under competitive examina-
ton. In the same Office a white woman
was also employed, and her duty some
times brought her to the desk of the col
ored man. Thereupon the woman re-
signed, assigning that as cause. At this
all Atlanta got upon its dignity, and ter
rible rumpus was kicked up, the Postmas-
ter and the clerk being burned in efigy,
and the men hooted and bounded about

THE Chicago Inter Ocean says that "as-
saulting Judge fer his judicial action is
so very serious matter that it is of tran
scendent Importance that no injustice
should be done which would in any way
give countenance to the crime of attempt
ing to intimidate the Court" And the
soundness of this judgment is beyond pos
sibility of dispute. Unless we protect our
Judges against assault for their judicial
acts, we had as well pull down the seat of
justice and turn the administration of the
affairs of the country over to the bludgeon
men.

A New York Court has decided that a
honey-bee is a trespasser if he goes into a
field of clover or other blossoms that does
not belong to its owner. "This," thinks
the Boston Transcript, dis a singing blow
to the Liberties of the bee, butwhen it comes
to singing the bee is able to keep up his
end-his business end-and the bee will
therefore continue to live in clover, no
matter at whose expense"

THE Albany Journal assures the country
that the decision of General
Miller regarding Chinese travellers will
not affect the Scott Exclusion Act. 1t
belives that the Act will be strictly en-
forced; that as we have said to the
Chinese, 1--WE do not want you as resi-
dents" they will be kept out as such. 1t
calls attention to the fact that the Admin
istration has not only shown desire to
enforce the Scott Act, but has also strictly
enforced the alien contract labor law, and
that it has established such watchfulness
along the Canadian and British Columbian
border that the underground railways for
the Chinese are about all closed. 1t points
out that our transportation lines should
secure the business of carrying transit
Chinese until it is shown that they come
through in such numbers that they cannot
be kept under strict surveillance en- route.
when it will be time enough to think of
allowing some other carrier routes to take
the business. We have already stated our
belief that the Restriction Act will take
no harm from the transportation of Chinese
across the continent to depart. Not only
will the Government see to it that they do
not violate the privilege, and that stop
overs are not permitted, but the railroad
and steamer carriers win have profound
interest in seeing that the deportation of
the transit passenger is effected, since to
neglect it, they well know, will work a
revocation of the privilege.

CRETE is endeavoring to throw off the
Turkish yoke. Greece asks leave to in
terfere and restore order-that was really
what her proposition amounted to-but the
powers decline to permit it. The powers,
excepting Russia, would be pleased to give
England any excuse to occupy Crete, and
eventually to colonize a good large slice of
1t. The Porte has really little to say in
the matter, except to show some vigor
whenever Russia manifests disposition to
look iCngingly upon the Golden Horn, and
Turkey rightly CONSTITUTES Russia's desire to
have Greece interfere in the Cretan mat
ter to mean renewal of the intrigue to
seize upon the Dardanelles. For English
occupation of the island would be blow
to the Russian ambition to keep England
out of that portion of the world, and to
put herself in. France naturally favors
the Russian view, and Germany, Italy and
Austria side with the English desire. In
this complication there is food in plenty
for a lively war in the far East, and while
it may not presently occur, it is Just
as likely to be brought on soon as it is to
be averted. Russia and France are very
earnest in their protest against the Eng
lish-German scheme; they want no naval
station so near-in a naval sense-as Crete
is to Constantinople. twenty years ago
the Cretans would have rid themselves of
the hated Turk if the European powers
had not interfered just as they are doing
now. The Christians are in excess in the
island, and in a fair contest can GUST the
Mohammedans The latter are aware of
this fact, and hence the Turkish Pasha
has offered the insurgents very alluring
terms, and has promised them that if they
will cease their efforts they shall not be
harmed. Probably not, just now, but they
would certainly find, in a short time, that
it would be better to be dead than alive
under the rule of the Sultans Lieutenant.
Really, it is a pity that Greece cannot get
control of the island, for under her the
abuses to which the Christians are now
subject would not continue, and at least
the Turk would be driven out of a place
where he has no right by law or nature.
