The warships are imposing monsters, but not one of them has fired hostile shot. England has nearly two thousand general off cers on its rolls, all unknown to fame except Wolscley. With untried gener- als, privates, guns, ships and powder it is good policy for all the nations of Flu rope to continue to keep the peace.

A MEMBER of the British parliament was quite perturbed recently over a rdmor that the United States govern ment had become possessed 'of a copy of the plans of the British gnnboat Havoc.

IRE wisdom of putting army officers in charge of the Indians is demonstrated at Darlington. where the Cheyennes have notified the government that they will trust Capt. Woodson to name terms for them. An Indian trusts an army officer because it is part of his creed that a brave man is honorable. He trusts an officer because the army has dealt squarely with him in peace and war.

THE city of Washington of to-day looks like vast, beautiful park. and yet quarter of a century ago it resem- bled a struggling village, ill-paved, dirty, uncouth and shadeless. The change is chiefly due to trees and grass properly planted and cared for by a public board with due authority.

JeFersonian SIMPLICITY,

The Williamsport Times finds fault
with the propensity of President Cleve-
land to use government vessels as
fishing junks whenever the fancy
pleases him. The Times thinks the
action of the president and Secretary
Herbert in appropriating government
ships for pleasure boats is un-Ameri-
can and that 1t resembles the conduct
Of kings and emperors of the old world
who rule by "divine right"
Come to think about 1t, the presi.
dent would pose in a more favorable
light paying his fare like an ordinary
person, instead of sponging boat rides
from the government 1t would be
more in keeping with the Democratic
howl in the interest of economy and
retrenchment. AS the situation is re-
garded from an inland point Of view,
1t must take about as much fuel and
steam to enable the president and sec
retary Of the navy to enjoy days
fishing on Q government cutter as
would be required to chase an enemy
to cover in time Of war, and the free

The Coming of Stranahan.

One of the political rumors of the
day has it that State Chairman Stran-
ahan contemplates speedily paying q
visit to Lackawanna county in the
hope of Strengthening out the Demo-
cratic factional tangles in this senate
rial and congressional district. He is
credited with having strong hopes of
making party gains in the anthracite
region, but this is probably libel
upon his well-known astuteness. Mr..
Stranahan is not accustomed to ex-
tract sunbeams out of cucumbers nor
gather diamonds beneath rainbow
arches. If he knows anything about
the temper of the voters in this par
ticular portion of the commonwealth
he undoubtedly realizes beyond danger
of misapprehension that it is not in a
mood to encourage Democratic gains
nor give the inspiration ofits promise
to the destructive purposes of the free
trade allies.
What the amiable state chairman
doubtless has in mind is the extraor-
dinary backwardness of local Demo-
Gratis to volunteer in the cause of per-
fidy and dishonor. This shyness, it
seems, has at last been somewhat over
come, judging from the "slate" formu-
lated yesterday; but it nevertheless is
sufficiently in evidence to cause pertur-
baton among friends of the Democratic
state machine. They want the sinews
of war, and they want them badly. 1t
is distressing enough to fight for a
principle and, metaphorically speak
ing, die, even when well paid for it;
but it is woe unutterable to a practical
Democratic politician like our friend,
Stranahan, to have to fight for no prin-
ciple whatever, with not even vestige
of a quid pro quo.
In any event, should Chairman
Stranahan decide to come this way, he
will be made welcome. There is an
abundance of work for his pacificatory
energies and large scope for the ply
ing Of the seductive assessment; but
when he shall have achieved the har-
monization of the feuds and the tap
ping of the hidden stores of local DEM
ocratic wealth in sufficient degree to
make his labor remunerative, Scran-
ton will be older than it is and human
nature softer in its responses to the
Bourbon touch.

the UBIQUITOUS MlcRoBE

PittsbuTg Dispdtch.
1t is beginning to appear to the judg-
ment OF the public at large that the task
OF discovering the bacteria Of disease, in
everything calculated to carry on human
life 80 as to make 1t worth living, has
reached the limits beyond which endur-
ance ceases to be virtue. Long ago
money was declared to be the root OF
all evil, but the ancient declaration is
enlarged now by the discovery that it is
the breeding place Of all sorts Of microbes.
The street cars are are full Of them, as
well as the woods. At Rochester, N. Y.
the bacteriologists have found that the
common communion cup must be
abolished. Kissing has been lately de-
nounced by health authorities as spread
ing bacteria. Medicated muzzles for man
kind are urged because when tuberculous
person sneezes he fills the air with the
germs of consumption. One person who
has carried the bacteria hunt nearly to its
final conclusion has had all his teeth drawn
because, despite careful brushing, he finds
that the teeth are breeding places for mi.
crobes. The ultimate goal is found by a
person who built germ.proof house from
which he never emerges, because he be-
lieves that the rest Of mankind, and even
the circumambient atmosphere, are arse
nails loaded with venomous bacteria.

WILL Be a LIVE FACTOR.

INIduetphlu fTe9S.
Major Everett Warren, who has been
elected president of the Republican Club
league, has the ability and natural equip
ment to make a most efficient and useful
head Of the organization. His selection is
wise one, and the enthusiastic unanimity
with which it was accomplished is de.
served tribute to one of the most earnest
young Republicans in Pennsylvania. The
league, which for two or three years has
been but an Indifferent affair, seems likely
to take on a new life from yesterdays con-
vention and to be very decided factor In
the active work of the campaign. The pro-
ceedings were characterized by this spirit
In an admirable degree, and the new
president will greatly disappoint all who
know him II he does not so employ his Of
fetal position and influence as to secure
the most excellent results from the league
results that will demonstrate its con-
slant usefulness as an auxiliary party
organization. There is plenty Of work
for all, and no doubt it will be done.
