AMERICAN PATRI0TIsM


It Should Not Be Dragged Into the Dusty
Political Arena.
Washington Post.1
The course of the administration, when 1t
comes 70 the protection of American citi-
zens, should not be q matter of partisan
politics; it should be q matter of patriotism
If american citizens are mistreated it is the
duty of those responsible for the admins
tration of this Governments to see that full
apology and reparation are made, and If not
made, then fight. There should be no blus-
ter, no indecent haste, but q firm demand
should be made and all done that diplomacy
requires should be done.
If by such course any political party is
injured, so much the worse for that party
and SO much the better for the political
party that is benefited. But no such thing
can possibly happen with either party in the
matters now pending settlements between
this Government and Chile. President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine can be relied on
to do their full duty as Americans, and 1t is
not only indecent, but brutal, to charge
them with being actuated with other than
sentiments Of the highest patriotism. The
slime of the partisan politics should not be
American patriotism.

RAILWAY AcH1rvxK1xrs.
The United States First in Speed as Well rs
in Miles Of Road.

IN MI10S Ok Ltoo<As
New York Herald.J Et
There have been within the last week two
remarkable achievements by the great rail-
ways OF this country. One was the trip on
the special express to Buffalo over the
tracks Of the New York Central road; the
other was the transcontinental journey OF
special train from the Pacific coast, which
ended Thursday, making q record OF FOUR
days, II hours and Al minutes. These are
events in the history of railway travel and
in any other country would have been made
the occasion or national celebration.
They are regarded here merely the out
come of vast competition by enormous pri-
vate corporations, and their success is n
proof of the admirable proficiency Of the
management of the respective roads. There
is abundant reason, however. why the rec
ords made on these occasions should be
given some public Acknowledgements. Tney
have asserted again, with profound en-
phasis, the superiority Of the best American
railways over similar methods of transpor-
tation in any other land. They have proved
to all men interested in the problem OF ac-
commodation Of the travelling public that
not alone have we the greatest number OF
miles of track but we can make phenome-
nal time over these tracks.

THE LOCAL JUDICIAL CONTEST.

The revolt of the straiGhtouts. both Re-
publican and Democratic, against the local
leaders of their parties, has been the soil
tary, but rather interesting, feature Of
politics in Allegheny county this year.
What on the horizon of local leadership was
at first cloud no bigger than mans hand,
suddenly, under an impulse from political
workers as skilled almost as the leaders
themselves. developed into a squall OF con-
siderable proportions. As an assertion of
the rights which partisan constituencies
claim by usage from the executive bodies
they elect to run their organizations, the
''straightout' movement has been some
what vigorous 1t now remains to inquire
in how far, if at all, it has endangered the
success of Judges McClung, Porter and
Kennedy, the Governors appointees.
1t will probably be found that the acri-
mony of the canvass, the bitter fighting
in certain quarters over it, very much ex-
ceeds ir proportion the voting powers of
the ''straightouts'' as against the two
party organizations The large class of
people who look upon the judicial Office
as properly non partisan, and who do not
care fig either for the regulars or the
straightoutS in relation thereto, may be
counted on to follow the principle of
voting for the sitting Judges so long as no
question has been made of their integrity
or capacity.
The significance of the "straightout'
success in producing such a lively stir
consists chiefly in indicating how quickly
one set of skilled political workers can
make the situation interesting for an
other set. 1t may lead to further organi-
zation among the straightouts, and to
future battles for control in the councils
of the parties, but it is not at all likely to
unseat any of the judges who are now in
commission in Common Pleas No. 8.

IT is subject of regret to sensible and
orderly people that the final outcome of the
contest in which Mrs. Paxton. the Mayoress
of Kiowa, Knn., was engaged has been her
resignation. That female functionary was
an energetic woman who started on the
principle that whisky should not rule her
town. 1t is not pleasant to reflect that she
overestimated the strength of the law or un-
derest,mated the strength Of whisky as a
rulinp force

THE appearauce of the New York Posts

THE appearance Of the New York Posts
political directory, which generally sums up
the character and connections of State and
county candidates in a highly fastidious
manner, reveals the fact that the candidates
this year come or better from the Post's
scrutiny than is usually the case. This per-
mits the question whether that highly criti-
cal journal is more tolerant this year, or
whether the tickets on both sides being no.

political outlook is to be credited with hav-

Mobilizing the Militia.

General Miles wants the militia of the
States modified to meet at the Worlds Fair
in Chicago He says that $4,000 State troops
and $1,000 Federal troops ban be brought to-
gether for the sum OF $3.50, 900, and he wants
Congress to appropriate that sum for the
purpose. There have been worse sugges-
tions, but such mobilization is scarcely
necessary to demonstrate the militia ry
potentialities Of this country, which indeed
would only be parodied by the parade of the
force mentioned. Still, the gathering to-
gether of the militia of the States under
general plan of mobilization would be inter-
esting, and might be valuable as showing
