wherever Mugwumpism exists to lift its
skirts and be dainty i'm its care to avoid
soiling its overshoes. The splendid en-
thusiasm of young men with ideas is
just what is wanted to make and to
keep politics clean, and no man with
wholesome blood in his veins need fear
the strain on his nerves or his consci-
ence," for-loth as the Mugwump may
be to confess it-there are principles in
volved in every national contest to main
tain which is worth the unsheathing OF
the swords of all our political Sir Gala
hads.
"At the voting place" says the Ne,cs,
"the man who can neither read nor
write is equal to college president, and
the digger of bitches is on level with
the proudest millionaires. The ludi-
crousness of the situation in some Of its
particulars is apparent, but almost every
one is satisfied" Most of us are better
satisfied, certainly, than the Ne'cs, which
seems TO need lesson on the worth and
the meaning of some of the things it finds
'ludicrous." We shall not attempt To
administer it, but hereby advise our
mourning Mugwumps to enjoy the sweet
ness of the early summer and take heart
of grace as to the country's institutions.

sALUTING THE FLAG.

The Memorial day exercises in the
public schools of Boston yesterday were
full Of interest and significance. The
decorations of flags and bunting, the at
tendance of uniformed Grand Army vet
Grams who talked to the children of the
war and of the soldiers loyalty to the
stars and stripes and the singing of pat
riotic songs were small things in them
selves, but might be far-reaching in
effect if the example set by the Hub
could be followed generally.
The salute of the flag by the 600 boys
of the Sherwin School was ceremony
that ought not to be novel i'm our public
schools or elsewhere. AS the lads We're
singing the last line of the Star
Spangled Banner" a boy stepped for
ward with flag presenting it in a
saluting position. At the close of the
strain, the whole school saluted the flag
standing and repeated in chorus: 81
pledge my hand and heart TO my coun-
try; one country, one language, one
flag"
The same custom has been introduced
in some of the industrial schools of New
York, not on Memorial day but every
morning. If love Of the colors were
taught each child growing up in this
country, our political problems would be
settled far more easily.

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

The Newport News says in Mug
wumpish vein: Americans are apt to
speak reproachfully of the great cost of
royalty to England and other countries
that enjoy such Injuries. But our
friends across the water retort by saying
that one of our Presidential elections
costs as much money as their King or
Queen costs them in many years. And
there is some truth in this. The national
conventions, the thousands of speakers
who will engage in the contest, the
newspapers that will be subsidized for
temporary service, the organs that will
do more or less work without pay, the
professions, bands of music, rent of halls
and many other things that enter into
the controversy, go to make up a vast
sum. And if time is money there will
be big item ia the loss of labor, which,
with the soreness of many heads and
the sourness of not few stomachs, will
keep many from their usual employ
ments."
The election machinery of this coun-
try is net particularly cheap to run and
probably good proportion of the peo-
pie think it is set in motion too fire.
quently; but no criticism is valid which
fails to take into account the fact that
the money expended for conventions,
for speakers, for professions and for
music, for hiring halls and distributing
campaign literature is scattered broad
cast as in the ordinary operations of
business and becomes part of the cir
culating medium passing nImbly from
hand TO hand. The revenues raised by
taxation for the thrifty Victoria are to
considerable extent taken out of the
productive world by that economical
sovereign who has no little talent for
boarding and leaving her subjects to
support her relatives.
We do not take issue with the Ne,cs so
squarely on the subject of cost, how
ever, as On the question whether repub-
lcanism is worth while. "It is said"
continues our Newport contemporary.
"that our popular elections have an ed
ucating influence over the people. They
undoubtedly do, but it is a serious ques-
tion whether they educate up or down.
Thousands Of men have taken their first
lessons in trickery and fraud while par
ticipating in an election campaign. In
many quarters there IA no pretense of
honesty in contests of this kind. and So
ber-minded lookers-on always have rea-
son 10 fear for a young man when he en-
ters politics and becomes enamored with
its excitements."
An American newspaper, IL seems to
us, should hesitate before putting forth
such statement. IL there is dishonesty
in politics so much more strenuous is
the reason for getting young men into
the field. II is the Mugwump mistake

THE NEWPORT COUNT.

1t has been stated in the more or less
public prints that the Democrats OF this
State have resolved upon worrying and
delaying the Republican majority in
every possible way unless, as it is
phased, the latter declare their inten-
tions at this session. According to this
apology for an authority the Democrats
will be just as naughty as their skins
will hold, unless the Republicans give
them pie for breakfast. IL is of the ma
ture of threat when they talk of
counting" the votes. "If you will only
meet and adjourn" they are represented
as saying, "and neglect the business to
do which you were elected and which
we have done our little best to block,
Wen be real good"
Cunning little fellows! Their an
tics would be amusing We're it not so evil
dent that indulgence would go far to
spoil them. 1t is one of the first princi-
Piles of family discipline never to bribe
children TO behave themselves, but ex-
pect them to do SO without other reward
than the consciousness Of rectitude. So
we would advise the Republican legisla-
tors to do their business unvexed by
threats and undeterred by naughty talk
and ugly faces.
And, after all, we don't believe the
Democrats cherish any such intention
as is attributed to them. The papec' to
which we refer is not the organ of the
party, but of minority faction. Sen
sible Democrats will probably continue
to snap their fingers at its advice, as
they have i'm the past.
