PAN-AMERIcAN UNION.

Mr.. Allen, Populist senator from Ne
| braska, introduced resolution in the
senate on Tuesday looking to the for
nation of a pan-American union, en-
bracing the North, South and Central
American republics. The preface of the
resolution recites that recent events
show that European nations are max
| ing aggressive attempts to obtain a
greater foothold on the American con-
tinent, and that such an att5mpt proves
the necessity of a, closer union of the
American republics. Then follows the
resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
senate that the United States of Amer
lea should as speedily as possible invite
all American republics to enter into
closer union, to be known as the pan
American union. for the purpose of
promoting the general Industrial and
commercial welfare of the members
thereof. and secure said republics from
European and other foreign encroach-
ments.
We think Mr. Allen is mistaken.
There is no necessity at present for his

would most likely prove to be an en-
tangling alliance from which the Uni
ted States had best be free. While
determined encroachments upon the
American continent might lead the
United States to act with one or more
of the American republics in repelling
it, there is no necessity for any such
permanent union as is contemplated in
this resolution. 1t should be remember

MISTAKEN MISSIONARIES.

The dispatches yesterday gave an &C
Of November to remove the king of
Corea. Tt seems. according to the cor
RESPONDENT of the Chuo Shimbun that
a conspiracy was formed by some Rus
slams. American missionaries and a
few Coreans to remove from the royal
palace the king and several ministers
OF state who had been connected with
the attack upon the queen of Corea
last October. The plan Of the con-
spirators was to have a mob of armed
roughs engage the attention of the
police while body of disbanded
guards marched to the palace and cap
tured the king and ministers The
garrison Of the palace, however, had
been informed of the plot and the
party that had expected to surprise
the palace was itself surprised.
1t is said that the object of the
American missionaries implicated in
the affair was not political but per-
sonal. They wished to avenge the
death of the late queen. who was an
ardent Christian. Whether the pur-
pose of these missionaries was person
al or political-supposing that the re-
port duplicating them in the affair be
true-for political advantage or for re-
venge, it is equally unworthy of their
calling. Missionaries are not sent to
daIbble in the politics of the countries
TO which they are assigned, and their
doing so has more than once brought
the Christian missions into reproach
One Of the most severe arraignments
Of Christianity in the Worlds Parlia-
ment of Religions held in Chicago two
years ago was by a Japanese repre-
sentative. who accused without con-
tradiction Christian missionaries to
his own land with forgetting their
high calling as ministers of Christ to
dabhle with the political affairs of ia
pan. The statement that the object
of these missionaries was vengeance
to avenge the death of the late queen
who was an ardent Christfan-fs. if
possible, still more revolving. 1t is in
direct conflict with the teaching of the |
Great Nazarene, who taught that ven
geance belonged to God, and who |
prayed that his own murderers might
be forgiven for they knew not what |
they did. Evidently, if the report be |
true there are some missionaries in
Corea who should be called home that
they themselves may be made Chris
tians, if possible.

THE PIG IRON RECORD.

This has been a record year for pig
iron. Early predictions have been veri-
fed, and the output is the greatest ever
known. According to official figures just
compiled, the production aggregates
9,3SI,639 tons, exceeding that of 1890, the
was 9.202. 703 tons. In 1892 the tonnage
was 9,157.000, and the production this
year exceeds that of 1894 by 73O,251 tons.
Unless Great Britain shall greatly ex-

and heads the list. The best previous
British record was 1858, $50 tons in 1882.
Pig iron manufacturers have but one
thing to fear They can overstock the
market and enter another period of de-
preston, and this will occur unless they
keep close to a fair margin of profit

COMMENTING ON what T. Powers
O'Conner had to say in his Sun on the
feeling Of the South towards the North
in the event of hostilities, the Atlanta
Journal says: "O'Conner is correct in
the opinion that the south must be
reckoned with but England is the
party which must do the reckoning.
There is no section of the United
States which is more unanimous and
enthusiastic in support Of the position
President Cleveland has taken than is
the south. There is no section which
would give a larger proportion of
troops to defend the honor of a flag
which is now as much ours as it is
the flag of the north

IF TT WE'RE UNANIMOUS.

The utterances of the British au-
thors on the Venezuela embodiment
brought over from England in the dis
patches yesterday are to be taken
doubtless as the sentiments of the
very best people of England They
do honor to some of the illustrous
names signed to them, and we could
only wish that they were sentiments
more generally felt towards our people
and free institutions. Not on the
grounds of political equity do we I'd
dress you" say the three hundred au-
thors. 'but we are united to you by
many ties. There is nothing in our
history that has earned us more glory
than the conquest of the vast Ameri-
can continent by the Anglo-Saxon
race. When our pride has been hum
bled by a report of something that
you do better than ourselves, it is
also uplifted by the consciousness that

believe it speaks the true sentiment

to be the sentiment of all England,
but we have too many evidences of

for the expressions of friendship and
good will of these authors and are
ready to join with them in judging
each country, not by what is worst
but what is best in each; and accept
their utterances as the sentiments of
the most enlightened of England's
people. At the same time we base our
opinion that there will be no war

because we believe that the interest
of England will suggest that though
she has refused to arbitrate the ques-
ton of disputed territory with Ven
ezuela. she cannot afford to refuse to
do SO with the United States.

TWO SOUTHERN JUDGES.

| Had satirist of American manners
of the states of the Union shooting
one of the attorneys of his court for
criticising one of his legal opinions,
as a people we should have resented
the description as an insult to our
judiciary and an outrage upon de-
cency. Yet the chief justice Eve had
almost said chief bully of Tennessee
did this very thing few days ago.
1t was a purely state affair, but the
disgrace of the thing is national. Mar
tin Chuzzlewit and Mary Tapeley In
their travels in America nearly half
a century ago neither saw nor heard of
anything to equal the performance of
1t is a case where fact is stranger
than fiction. Let us contrast this
performance of Snodgrass with the
conduct Of another southern judge
where the insult was personal and of
such character that it could only
be wiped out with blood according to
the code that prevails among south
ern gentlemen.
Some years ago an eminent and
highly respected member of the Ken
lucky judiciary, Judge Read, was bru-
tally assaulted and insulted. His per-
sonal bravery was the last thing that
any man in Kentucky would have
questioned. But Judge Read did not
retailiate. although he lived in a COM
munity where the blow is followed by
the bullet. He did not avenge him
self upon his assatlant because of the
high regard in which he held the law
which he was sworn to uphold and
upon which he relied for protection.
The case became famous. all Kentucky
taking interest in it, while great pres
sure was brought to force Judge Read
to vindicate his honor in accordance
with the ideas governing in these mat
tiers in his state. But Judge Read re-
NAMED firm in his determination and
in his loyalty to the law.
Did he not feel the indignity put
upon him? Men of his mold and high
ideal are so sensitive that an inpu-
tation upon their honor, a suspicion
upon their character. is felt so keenly
that they almost wither and die under
IT. So it was with Judge Read. He
did not long survive the insult, for the
conflict in his soul over vindicating
his honor and living up to his prin-
ciples. was too great for anyone to
have long withstood.
Judge Read was an ornament and
honor to his state, and his people hold
Judge Snodgrass has dishonored his
state. and that dishonor will grow
deeper as the years go by.

THE PRESIDENTS APPEAL.

Mr.. Cleveland has issued message
that is distinctly reassuring, inasmuch
as it aims to take advantage of united
national sentiment to make one forward
move in the effort to put the country's
finances on a sounder basis. IT is a
demonstration of the radical unsound-
ness of our financial system that the
declaration by the executive of a foreign
policy which the Congress, representing
in this case truly the sentiment of the
nation, promptly ratifies should cause so
sudden and considerable a disturbance

this to say Of General Miles: .'One Of the

All means for raising revenues are
unpopular with many persons, says the
Hartford Dispatch. People do not
generally enjoy paying taxes of any
kind. As II seems to them they are
paying for something they have never
received, and some of them are perhaps
selfish enough to desire that the revenue
laws should bear harder upon their
neighbors than upon themselves.
Assessment laws are ON the same
principle precisely as tariff laws, and in
making them tits impossible to please
every one. When q new tariff law is
before Congress, almost all the indus
tries in the country are represented in
Washington, either by owner or at
torney endeavoring to have their own
industry protected, no matter ut whose
expense.

loudly and unmlstakably for new as
eessment, and as the people are the
parties concerned, they should have it.

appointed with any such law as can be
made, but this is inevitable.
The Legislature, in forming an assess
ment law, should take into considera-
tion no ones personal interest, but tax
every one according to his actual worth
as the State constitution directs.
1t has been long while since we had
a general assessment, and as natural
consequence, different properties have
changed much in value, and the time
has certainly arrived when an adjust
ment should be made.
1t is to be hoped that this matter will
not be made political one, SIS it ie q
subject which affects all alike, whether
Democrats, Republicans or any other
party.
