Pennsylvania politicians are much inter
ested in the strife which has broken out
between Governor Pattison, as commander
in-ehief of the Pennsylvania National
Guard. and Col John 1. Rogers. who is the
Guards udge-advocate-general, and who
was appointed to that honorable position
By the governor. Col Rogers, like the
governor, is a democrat. but unlike the
governor is not the fortunate possessor OF
either a state or q federal office. Col.
Rogers wanted, and II is fair to presume
stin desires, to be United States naval
officer at Philadelphia which is. according
to the letter written by the colonel to the
governor. "a nice. easy office with an hon
orable title and $500 salary" In a laud-
able effort TO secure this soft snap the
colonel asked other officers OF the National
Guard for their endorsements. and secured
several. some of tn I'm perhaps because he
stated In his application for assistance that
the commander-in-chief was. So to speak
one OF his hackers. But the governor had
evidently changed his mind since last No
vember. when he wrote Col. Rogers the as
surances on which the colonel based his
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-10-09
statement; and as soon as he heard Of what

statement: and as soon as he heard Of what
was going on he gave out for publication
an interview In which he condemned the
colonel for dragging the National Guard
into politics. Since then there has been a
sharp interchange Of remarks that could
hardly be called complimentary, followed
by the resignation Of the colonel, and a
severance Of those ties which have so long
bound the colonel and the governor to-
gether. In viaw Of the virtue displayed by
the governor in this case 1t may not be out
Of order to note that the governor himself
has done that for which he condemned his
stan officer. Both have erred. but only the
subordinate has suffered. In the appoint
ment Of his stan and In the recommended
ton given Col Sigfried, recently appointed
postmaster at Warren. Pa, the governor
seems to have been controlled entirely by
political considerations. More Of that con-
duct will result in demoralizing and render
ing comparatively inefficient the great re-
serve police force which Pennsylvania
maintains. Politics and National Guard
affairs will not mix and although 1t seems
too bad that Col Rogers should lose his
commission and his hopes Of becoming
naval officer simply because he followed
the example of his illustrious chief. after
all the punishment Is none too severe.

The second race In the series which shall
snce more decide whether the yachting
championship OF the world belongs to the
United States or to Great Britain comes OF
today. and IL the reasonably powerful breeze
that propelled the craft from the starting
point continues to maintain its force the
race will have been concluded before this
paper gets Into the hands Of its readers.
II Ii hoped that all the conditions are favor
able for a fair test Yachting experts seem
10 be Of the opinion that the two boats are
very nearly equal IN sailing qualities; and it
would be too bad IL weather conditions
should 20 change as to result IN such an
uncertain victory az was achieved on Satur-
day by tho Vigilant. Both boats were bother
ed very much on Saturday by the excursion
steamers. which crowded around them at
the start and Rugged them as closely as
possible on the weather side; but II the
wind Is reasonably strong throughout today
such interference Is not probable. The peo-
pie Of both nations want races Of the abso-
iutely square variety. IN which both yachts
shall have even meteorological conditions
and the best of handling. Then the victory,
no matter which wins II, will mean some
thing.

This Is Chicago day at the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition. and II any subdivision
of the United States Is entitled to a day of
its own at the great fair the honor belongs
to Chicago. No one who has either visited
the wonderful display or who has even a
faint conception of the glories Of jackson
Park as II Is viii attempt to withhold the
praise that has been 50 thoroughly earned.
II II safe to say that no other community
on this or any other continent could, under
like conditions, have made the fair so mon
umental q success as Chicago has made 1t.
Tho government with its vast resources
might possibly have done as well or even
better had the exy osition been located at
the National Capital. but that possibility
does not affect the condition with which We
have to deal Up to Saturday evening the
number of paid admissions to the fair was
nearly sixteen millions. and unless the
weather from now until the end of the
month Is extremely unfavorable II Is easily
probable that more than twenty millions of
men. women and children will have paid to
enter the grounds and feast their eyes upon
riches the like Of which many Of them will
never again behold. As there was but one
Columbus 80 there Is but one Chicago.

A vast quantity Of sympathy and much
timely Hberality have been expended in con-
nection with the great suffering consequent
upon the strikes and lockouts that have
recently caused and still are causing so
much disturbance in England. In the one
county Of Lancashire alone there are more
than 100000 men. women and children who
daily suffer because they lack the COM
monest necessaries Of life, and similar con-
ditions-but affecting smaller bodies Of the
unemployed-exist in other English locali-
ties. For this lamentable state Of affairs
there Is a reason. and when the roll Of the
helpless has on 1t more than three quar-
tiers of a million of names the reason should
be earnestly sought and found. To any one
who has observed business conditions in
the British Isles for any considerable length
of time the truth should easily be plain, and
the more apparent 1t becomes the more
shameful is it. Sharp competition in the
coal market had sent prices down to the
lowest point coal has experienced for many
years. and it was quite certain that unless
the mine owners combined they could not
hope to pocket anything like the old-time
profits. A combination was effected. and it
was decided to squeeze the small consumer.
The big factories and steamship companies
ndu dHeduy secured tneir supplies at phe-
nomenal,y low figures. The first step was
to cut the miners wages 20 per cent, and as
there was strenuous objection by those ad-
versely interested, many were forced to
strike, while the others were unceremonious-
ly locked out Cutting of all possibility of
an increased supply of house coal sent the
prices of that necessity skyward at a very
rapid rate. and in the ten or eleven weeks
that have elapsed since the troubles
first broke out, constituencies CAPT.
tai has dealt profitably but most
untustly by its employees and its
customers. And while we are discover
Ing notes In our brothers eye it may be
well enough to remember that our own coal
combine may look a good deal like a beam
to the Englishmen who are critically ex-
amining the American optic.

That the public domain still offers OPP
portunities for home seekers Is shown in
part by the figures which are found in the
annual report Of the commissioner of the
general land office. recently made public. II
Is stated that during the year which closed
on the 31st OF July last nearly 10000
acres Of the public lands passed into the
possession Of settlers and citizens. Only a
little over 1.ooo.oOo acres were sold for cash
and as under the present land laws the
public land is open mainly to homestead
settlers IL Is evident that the era of the
settler has not yet passed. In spite of the
heavy drafts which have been made in re-
cent years the public domain stilI has re-
spectacle proportions. and while a good
deal Of the land is not considered valuable
still there is a surprising acreage available
for settlement under the land laws. These
facts show that as a nation We have no,
yet outgrown our heritage

The Kitchen IS provided with a good
sized closet for stoves and culinary uten-
sils, with pantry placed in a conven-
lent location and communicating with
the dining room in the usual way. The
pantry doors are hinged so as TO DO self
closing, thus shutting of all smells from
the kitchen.
Some persons may object to this ar
ragement OF rooms because there is no
direct communication between the hall
and dining room and that there are no
back stairs. These objections could
easily be overcome in the planning Of
the house, but would involve consider
able extra expense, for an additional
chimney would be required and extra
space for the stairway and passage 60
the dining room. Since 1t is question
of cost, we find that this arrangement
here shown is one OF the best for the
amount OF money to be expended.
In the second story we have two large
cham bers, one small bedroom, bathroom
and hall and four closets, which are in
dispensable to comfort and convenience.
These rooms all have direct commuoi-
cation with the hall, whiah is another
good feature of the plan. The bathroom
is placed directly over the kitchen, 50
that the supply and waste pipes have
the shortest and most direct run TO the
fixtures.
