BORUP's BAD BLUNDER.

The recall of Captain Borup from his post
at the American Legation in Paris was q
proper and timely Philadelphia Bulletin.
UNDER all the circumstances it was abso-
lutely necessary to recall Captain Borup,
who secured'plans of French defenses for
the Information of our War Department.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
THAT Captain Borup is not believed to be
guilty at the War Department. is to his
credit, but 1t is not exculpation and should
not have stood in the way OF his recall, even
with the question of international courtesy
left out Washington Post.
The recall of Captain Borup from the
American Legation at Paris was necessary
step. 1t was an act of courtesy toward the
French Government and in no way reflected
upon the officer whose conduct is now being
investigated Philadelphia Daily Ne,os..
CAPTAIN BoRUP, the American officer who
is accused OF buying plans of French fortif-
cations, should be promptly investigated.
If he is guilty, he should be dismissed from
the service. No American officer should be
permitted to become q spy for foreign na-
tion.-BuDd,o Express.
EVERY American will 'svmpathize with
Captain Borup, the military attache Of the
legation in Paris. A charge has been made
against him which affects his honor as an Of
ficer and man, q charge which if true
would bring with it disgrace peculiar and
keen.-Ne,o York Evening Telegram
LIEUTENANT BoRUP acts like man con-
scious ofno crime. He has been performing
difficult duties for his own country, and in
their performance it was unavoidable that
he should incur some risk in accidental con-
nection with the French self-confessed
criminal. Borup must not be condemned
except after due trial.-Chic1go Herald

TIE CHOLERA,S SPREAD,

The spread Of cholera into Russia by
way of Baku is assuming serious proper
tions, ana has a significance the reverse of
comfortable to that stricken land AT
least once before that dread disease has
entered Russia by way of the Caspian re-
gion. The increased commerce of that
section with the rest of Europe renders
the danger of the transmission of the
disease much greater, while the modern
means of arresting the spread of the
disease may balance that unfavorable
factor.
The chances of the spread of,the disease
from the Baku region into Russia are very
great. Whether it will spread thence into
Europe, and from Europe to America, de-
pends upon the vigilance with which
quarantine and sanitation are maintained,
first on the Russian border and then in the
ports of this country. If sanitary science
is perfectly applied the cholera in that
distant part of the world should have no
further significance for this hemisphere
than to awaken sympathy for the famine
and plague-smitten Russians.
As too great vigilance cannot be main-
tanned against the disaster of a cholera
epidemic the news from Russia should in
spire strict quarantine against infection
and thorough cleaning up of all possible
breeding places of disease throughout the
country.

FASTER OR SLOWER?

The fact that the art of building battle
ships has progressed so much in the five
years since work was commenced on the
armored vessel Texas, just laun ched, that
she will not be duplicated is made the
subject of some comment. The Philadel-
phia Record says that the moral is s'that
the Government should 90 much faster
or slower-in the building of an iron-clad
fleet"
1t is plain that one of the alternatives is
essential; and yet if we reflect a moment
it is hard to see how matters would have
been much amended by going faster If
the Texas could have been finished, say in
two years, we would have had then, as we
have now, battle-ship of class con-
ceded to be out of date, and might have
made the matter worse by starting the
construction of one or two more vessels
of the same passe class. As to going
slower, as was done in the case of the
Texas, that would reduce the building of
heavily armed vessels to temporal exem-
plification of eternity.
Nevertheless it is correct, as The DIS
PATCH has often said, to proceed slowly in
the experimental sense in the building of
costly armored vessels OF cruisers large
and small we need full force; and they
have been built with fair rapidity. There
is nothing wrong in building one vessel at
time, OF the type that is considered best
when the plan is adopted, as in the case of
the Texas Otherwise no vessels would
ever be built But the present case
shows that to plunge heavily into the
building of favorite class of costly ar
mored vessels might leave us with feet
made worthless by the progress of events.
Moreover, another reason Tor building
experimentaily and cautiously is furnished
by the indication that progress may event
ually take us back to the type of quarter
of century ago. There is strong reason
to believe that the Monitor class of vessels,
adapted perhaps to the whale-backed hull,
will furnish the most effective and cheap
est heavily armored vessels that can be
had

CHICKAMAUGA AND THE TARIFF.

A free trade cotemporary discovers in
the report that the battlefield of Chicka-
mauga has been made the field of re-
newed conflict bearing on the tariff
issue. The conflict is over the unwilling
ness of laborers at that point to take so
cents per day, and the Chicago Times
first holds it up as remarkable outcome
sin the country where taxes are piled that
labor may be well rewarded" and pro-
ceeds to comment on it as follows:
1t is, therefore, distressing to note that
men supposed to have been freed by
bloody war are now forced to work on the
most important battlefield at starvation
wages. Between working for 80 cents day
and being slave under the old conditions
there is only difference of terms. The es-
sential element of slavery Is unreQuited
toll II that point has not been reached
when labor is rewarded with 80 cents day
then it will be dangerous to carry the ex-
pertinent further in this age.
This is one view to which the facts of
the case may be distorted; but there are
other ways in which it may be possible to
look at it. 1t is worth noting that this
example of starvation comes from dis
trict which has often been held up as pro-
ducing iron so cheaply as to show that
protection is unnecessary, except for the
Pennsylvania iron interests. With this
low water mark of wages in the Alabama
and Georgia iron and coal section set
against the bottom figure of 81 % per day
in Western Pennsylvania, the possibilities
of low tariff are quite significant. 1t is
very clear that, with wages reduced to
the SO-cent-a-day level Pennsylvania iron
interests would not need much protection,
and conversely that with protection wiped
out as the Democratic platform requires,
without regard to the interests of capital
and labor, that is about the level wages
would come to.
1t is also pertinent that this case comes
from States which are always relied upon
to furnish the Democratic free trade pol
icy solid support, and where the old
slavery feeling that the laboring element
must be kept down expresses itself, not
only in low wages, but in more active
ways. The low wage rates of the South
are direct inheritance of slavery; but
they do not, as the Times asserts, show
that no progress has been made from the
system of slavery. Eighty cents day is
bad enough; but the vast difference be-
tween it and slavery is expressed by the
fact in this case that the laborer is at lib
erty to refuse it. There is an immense
step, worth generations of struggle, when
the laborer can refuse to accept what is
allotted him and seek other employment,
instead of being whipped and hunted
with dogs as he would have been in
the slavery days.
Finally, it requires either an immense
supply of assurance or an equally impos
ing stock of ignorance to present this in
heritance of the free trade and pro-slavery
relations of labor with its employees as an
argument against the system of protected
and free American labor

NEW ORLEANS, June a-lSpectnL 1.-The
people OF the Yazoo Delta of the Mississippi
have decided to hold jubilee in honor of
the escape of the Delta from overflow. The
Jubilee will be held at Greenville, the capt.
tai of the Delta, on July 20 and will take the
form OF big barbecue, at which eminent
speakers will be heard. 1t will be made up
largely Of thanksgiving over the escape
from the food. notwithstanding the highest
water ever known, and will also be devoted
to eulogizing the levee as the best and In
deed only protection of the alluvfal lands
along the Mississippi from overflow.
The idea OF q Jubilee has prevailed in the
Delta for some weeks past, but an unwilling
ness was felt about proposing it prematurely.
and until the water In the river got so well
within the banks that there was no posi-.
bility of a crevasse interfering and spelling
the jubilee. This is now the case. and the
jubilee has accordingly been ordered and
the date fixed. By that time, July 20, the
Mississippi river will have SO fallen that
even the lands outside the levees will be
free from water. This is the first year Of ex-
,treme high water that the Yazoo Valley has
escaped with not a single break or crevasse
of any kind. Similar thanksgiving jubflees
will probably be held in those levee districts
ofLouisiana which escaped crevasses as soon
rs the Mississippi has fallen enough to rom
der further breaks impossible.

CHAUTAUQUA'S SEASON.

Thursday Afternoon Set for tho Opening
New Features on the Programme.
CHAUrAUoUA, June 29.-[SpeciaL ]-Chautau-
qua will start out Thursday afternoon with
bright prospects for an active, healthy
season of literary enjoyment and profit.
There will be two lectures-"Evangeline,t the
Story and the Poem," by Rev. E. N. Packard
and ''The New Navy" illustrated. by Mr. H.
w. Raymond. The opening exercises at 2:3O
also promise to be quite interesting, though
not so elaborate as at the regular assembly
opening in August.
This seasons programme, not only in
cludes all the old favorite lecture, but in it
appear the names of quite a number of
famous professors and doctors who have
never before talked to Chautauquan audi
ence The musical features will also be
equal to the usual high standard in that de-
partment. Several glee clubs OF national
Americas most famous vocalists and
pianists will be in Chautauqua during the
season.
Next Monday, being Independence Day,
ChautauQua will to some extent throw aside
its love of quiet and indulge in genuine
fre-cracker Fourth. There will, Of course,
be lectures on patriotic subjects. Miss Sarah
S. Teal will talk about the Pilgrim Mothers
and Prot. j. H. Gilmore will give his first
lecture on the rise of American Poetry. talk
ing about William Cullen Bryant At $3.50 P.
N. the lake will be enveloped in a blaze of
glory, with fire works in commemoration OF
the nations natal day.
In many ways ChautauQua has greatly i'm
proved over last year. More than o hundred
new cottages have been built and many old
ones enlarged and improved. Chau-
-tauqua has so outgrown the expectations OF
the originators that there is really a dearth
OF room here now. Instead of ha wing the
educational buildings all located in the CEN
ter Of the city. they are scattered all over
the place, all the new ones being erected on
the outskirts. A couple of years ago the as
sociation was compelled TO buy so acres of
land adjoining the grounds to prevenL a beer
garden being located there That ground
now comes in good place, as 1t has been
thrown open for building purposes. About
all the lots in the original site are taken mp.
The season some very large and fine cot
tages have been built in what look like out
Of the way places.
Chautauqua is quite good place for
poor man co locate and invest. A few years
ago Swede and his wife came here and got
a start doing odd jobs. This year they have
built a cottage for which they get $175 rent
for the season. Native ChautauQuans always
rent their houses during the season and live
In tents. In the fall when the summer peo-
pie go they move back into their homes tor
the winter. This proves quite profitable.
Hardly any houses at ell are rented for less
than $50 for ~ months. The owners Of the
houses live on very little during the sum-
mer whom there is plenty Of work, and even
in winter the expense comes very far from
eating up their savings.

WOMAN IN THE CAMPAIGN.

One OF the most notable differences be-
tween the outward and visible signs of the
Minneapolis and Chicago conventions was
the absence of the lady agitator from the
latter as compared with her extreme prom
inence in the former gathering. But the
women of Democracy have evidently no
intention of indulging in 'fnnocuous
desuetude," while their sisters of the
rival host participate vigorously in the
fray. The shouting and parasol waving.
at Minneapolis was picturesque and
effective, hut it was out of place,
and the Democratic Convention was
to be congratulated on its freedom from
similar scenes But the women of New
York's Democracy-or some well-known
individuals thereof-gave evidence yester-
day that their absence from Chicago was
due to no lack of energy. They organ
ized the first wOman's club of this cam
paign and named it tine Frances Cieve-
land Ii fluence Club Number One" There
was plenty of evidence of enthusiasm
among the pioneers of the movement and
enthusiasm rather than logic pervaded
the meeting. That, however, is natural
and to be expected under the circum-
stances.
There is of course good deal to be said
for and against woman's activity in poll
tics, but if activity there must be this

THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE.

The appointment of John W. Foster as
Secretary of State to succeed Mr.. Blaine
involves certain departure from prece-
dents, but is in the direction of business
efficiency 1t has been the custom, which
almost attained the force of unwritten
law, to place in that position man of the
highest standing in the craftsmanship of
the party. The list of Secretaries of
State, including Blaine, Bayard, Freling-
huvsen, Fish, Seward, Buchanan, Clay
and Webster, is sufficient to illustrate this
practice.
However respectable and efficient Mr..
Fosters public services have been it call
not be claimed for him that he stands in
the rank represented by these names.
But, as none of that rank were available
to succeed Mr.. Blaine, it is doubtful
whether an equally good course was not
to name as his successor the man who
stood next to him in thorough acquaint-
ance with the business of the State De-
parJment and in activity in carrying out
its policy. The greatest prominence at
tanned by General Foster under the pres
ent administration has been in conducting
successful reciprocity negotiations, that
with regard to Cuban trade being nota-
bic work of diplomacy. 1t is more than
probable that General Foster will be able
to carry on the work of the State Depart
ment more successfully than any new
man, however prominent for domestic
craftsmanship he might be.
General Fosters appointment is, there
fore, step in the direction of the greatest
efficiency of the State Department, con-
sidered solely as an instrumentality for
foreign negotiations, with a decided init
nation that henceforth the controlling
mind in the policy of the administration is
to be that of the President himself.
