Minister Egan lost no time after his
arrival here in showing up the un-Amer-
lean conduct of the Democratic papers
OF this country. To their, hatred of him,
a hatred inspired by that of British mer-
chants in Chill, was due the long coatin-
uance of the troubles between the
United States and Chill. 1t was natural
that the British should hate him, for he
was an Irishman and was helping Ameri-
can commerce. But why the Demo-
cratic papers should decry him is hard to
conjecture, unless it be that every bale
of American goods which he helped sell
added to our prosperity and thus served
to lower the stock of the calamity

The Democrats have been rejoicing
for some weeks because of the report
that Gresham has turned his political
coat. To all the joy attending his Access
sion they are welcome. Republicans
will sincerely hope that his sorely-disap-
pointed office-seeking head will find rest
on the same pillow with Cleveland, the
humbug, and Hill, the sharper Ores

the Northwest. He would have gone
into the peoples party if he had pos
sessed enough money to pay for the nom
ination for President. Had he made the
change before the Minneapolis conven-
ton he might have passed for a sincere
convert. Having changed after stamps
him as regular sorehead.

Captain II. is. Foster, Twentieth
United States Infantry, in his report to
the War Department on the National
Guard of Vermont, states that the time
of the troops in encampment was we'll
employed, the object we'll fulfilled and
the interest evinced by both officers and
men in their duties showed that they had
strong desire to learn and improve.
The officers as class had good capacity
and aptitude and were capable of leading
and instilling proper enthusiasm and dis
cipline among their men. Generally
speaking, he found the National Guard
Gus and practical men, and in any emer-
gency that might arise, they would fully
sustain the good reputation they had in
the late war. The discipline of the
troops during the encampment was good
and the men were quiet and orderly, and
the observation of military courtesies
fair. Captain Foster recommended the
establishment of permanent camp
ground with a good target range at some
available point, and thinks that the eff
cheney of the guard would be greatly en-
HANGED by such selection.
The Broomsgrove, England, local
board concluded after long debate a
few months ago to increase the wages of
road and sewage men shilling a week,
They had been at work for IL shillings a
week in the winter and 13 in the sum-
mer, furnishing their own picks and
working eleven hours a day London
Truth says that the chairman of the
board reminded his associates that farm
laborers worked twelve hours day for
the same pay and he chopped that polit-
ical capital might not be made out of
the advance" Thirteen shillings is
1912. Think of asking city or town
laborer or farm hand in the United
States to work 70 hours for such pit
lance, besides boarding himself and fur
nishing his own toolsl And yet, the
Democratic leaders tell men who are
getting three or four times as much in
this country that they are not protected,
They will soon find out whether they
are or not if they bring about free
trade and thus bring the wages of mill
