THE CHILD OF FIFE.

The fear said to prevail in England over
the possibility of the throne being occu-
pied in the future by the child of the Duke
and Duchess of Fife is probably confined
entirely TO the aristocracy, and is due
parity to jealousy and partly to a pro-
found belief in the blood of royalty which
is quite beyond rhe comprehension of an
American. 1t is the flimsiest kind of SEN
timent, and finds no foundation in a
theory of physical or mental development
A royal race does not improve by con-
sanguineous inbreeding any more than
does any animal, human or brute.
The death of the Duke of Clarence ha.
disclosed that the men of the royal line
OF England are becoming puny and weak
Prince George is little better than his
brother, and unless a very prudent mar
riage is made the worst thing that could
happen TO his dynasty would be the birth
OF an heir 10 the throne.
There are many indications that should
the child of the sturdy Fife succeed to the
crown, monarchy might retain sufficient
popularity 10 last for several genera

bat il is not at AL probable that q young
man Of the almost alien reigning family
could have occupied the throne so long.
II can easily be understood why the

AN UNsoUND OBJECTION.

One of the objections urged in the
Women's Christian Temperance Union pc
tition against war with Chile is not
sound. The petition points out 1.-The in
humanity, not to say the absurdity, of
war waged by nation Of sixty-three
millions of people against a nation of
two and one-half millions Of people"
Follow this to its logical conclusion and
We must argue that weak nations have
rights and immunities which strong ones
do not possess: we must argue that q
strong nation can never, no matter how
great the provocation, wage war against q
weak one without absurdity and inhu-
manity; we must argue that TO be weak is
20 have protection and TO be strong implies
inability TO use that strength with justice
except against equal strength.
Follow the argument in another direc-
ton, and the conclusion is still more
startling. II il would be absurd and in
human for the United States to wage war
against Chile simply because Chile has
only two and one-half million people, it
would be more ABSURD and inhuman for
the United States to wage war against the
Sioux, still more absurd and Inhuman to
hunt down CARA and his score of cut
threats, and most absurd and inhuman of
all for this great country 20 wage war
against, hunt down and stay q murderer or
outlaw who stands alone with all the
forces Of civilization arrsyed against him.
Clearly this argument viii not do. The
objection is not a sound oue Cbila Ia an
titled to be treated by the United States
precisely as Great Britain. Germany or
France would be treated under similar cir
cunstances. It's weakness would afford
no excuse for treating il more harshly, and
certainly would afford none for treating it
with more consideration than would be
shown TO one of the great powers.

AN EXCUSE WHICH CoNvICTs.

The Texas postmaster who was recently
called to account for displaying a Confed-
crate flag over his postoffice has offered q
remarkable excuse. He says that the flag
was made by young woman who did not
know just what the flag of the United
States is like, and in her ignorance COM
bined bunting of different colors in such
a manner that the flag which she made
did not resemble the flag of Ne United
States in the least, but bore striking re-
semblance to the emblem of slavery and
disunion.
Ii would have been better if this excuse
had not been offered. 1t is an excuse
which convicts. We are asked to believe
that Texas woman knows so little about
the American flag that her efforts to mako
one result in the manufacture of Confed-
crate flag. We are asked to believe that q
postmaster was SO blind to the defects of
this banner that he allowed it to fly over
his postoffice in the full conviction that it
was an orthodox American flag. We are
asked to believe that q whole town failed
TO note the difference between an Ameri-
can flag and Confederate flag.
If the excuse is valid one and all these
things are true, it is evident that the Texas
legislature should pass bill providing for
the display of American flags over school
houses. But it won't do it. They don't
have that kind Of legislatures in Texas.

The election at Rossendale to fill the
seat in the House of Commons recently
made vacant by the elevation Of the Mar
quis OF Harrington to the peerage added
another to the long series of Liberal VIC
tories at bye-elections. The Gladstonian
candidate was elected by more than twelve
hundred majority. although the Marquis
of Harrington had carried it as a Liberal
Unionist by majority of fourteen hum
dred.
This result indicates that the revulsion
Of feeling against the Conservatives and
in favor of Gladstone and Home, Rule,
which began almost Immediately after the
general election, has not spent its force.
One bye-election after another has shown
the growth of Liberal strength. These
tests of strength have taken place in all
parts of Great Britain aud have extended
over period Of six years, and. though the
Conservatives have been successful in a
few instances, the general uniformity of
the results has been significant in the
highest degree.
Old as Gladstone is, his admirers may
hope to see him once more at the head of
the British government.
