communication from an esteemed reader
of The NEWS:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE News:
SIR-The Journal. in an editorial this morn
ing, says: "A feet of evolution that can main
tain l3-knot speed is all very well in its way.
But what would happen TO Admiral
Meade's squadron IL It were suddenly
pounced upon by few OF the battleships of
some European nation before 1t had time to
get up stcam"
A few days ago this same newspaper sug-
gested that the Monroe doctrine be aband
onded, because IL doubted the ability of our
navy to protect our interests on the sea.
Our newspapers are supposed to reflect
American sentiment and American ideas,
but this sentiment is not only un-American,
but un-patriotic. cowardly. With The Journal
Americanism, Is "Jingoism" and our navy a
subject for ridicule, only.
What would this same Journal have said 20
the people of Rhode Island in l776, 1912 or 1892
What advice would Commodore Perry, with
his wooden feet, built In 30 days. have re-
ceived from this patriotic G) sheet?
Mr.. Journal, the American people don't be-
lieve that European nations should be al
lowed to acquire any additional territory on
this continent, and any European ma
tion which attempts 1t will
get In trouble, and IL you
want to know what the result would be IL "a
few of the battleships of some European ma
ton" should suddenly pouncc upon Admiral
Mcade's squadron" I'll tell you--there would
be the est fight ever seen in this world and
after the battle closed our boys could sing the
"A Ia a. al
be there
Call this jingoism IL you will.
Providence, April Is. 1895.
We had already observed the absurd
paragraph referred to by our esteemed
correspondent. but while 1t made us
boil little, we contented ourselves with
the reflection that after all IL was only
another pimple, the unwholesome erupt-
ion from the impoverished mugwump
blood. BY mugwump we don't mean
to refer to those gentlemen who
abandoned the Republican party in 1884
ard set themselves TO worship the
CLEVELAND fetch. Those mugwumps
have largely been reclaimed. They are
no longer mugwumps. But tho word
today has a wider significance. compre-
hending rs 1t does those natures that can
sec nothing good in what is of their own
ki.h and kin. and are capable of doing
homage only 10 some far-away idol The
more extravagant or hideous tho idol the
moro abjectly the mugwump nature
bows down TO IL, this noxious spirit oI
a craven and n dundorhead displscing
what was once the soul OF man.
! We 90 not wonder "what would hap.

saved him from the extreme penalty
imposed by tie commissioners. II 1t
was desired to make an example
to the department. in assistant fore
man SAwIN's case it would seem that
other considerations might have made it
more desirable to postpone the ex-
ample. A man who has been in the SER
vice of the fire department for nearly
quarter of a century, whose record is
one Of cleanliness, honor and efficiency,
may perhaps have no claim for
especial consideration, above his fell
lows, but the city and the public
have claim upon him. The city can
not afford to give Its employees the mag
nificent training that comes from so
long a service and then let them go and
lose the services that the years of train
ing have made especially valuable. 1t
Is IN no sense matter OF
mercy or personal consideration, under
such circumstances, if an effort is made
to brace up and reclaim fallen public
servant of such value. Such an employe
has distinct money value to the public
and it is in the public's interest, rather
than his own, to try to keep him in the
ranks and retain his services.
AS to fireman SAwINs particular case
il is said that he took one drink OF liquor
and that drink was drugged. OF course
he had no right to drink at all and the
fire commissioners cannot be responsible
for the lack Of liquor, or liquor and
drug, holding capacity of its firemen.
The department demands the full
energies of the body and brains of its
men and whatever the circumstances
that destroy these the victim ceases to
be of value to the department until he
has recovered.
But doubtless fireman SAwIN could
very well carry one ordinary drink of
liquor without succumbing to its infu-
ence. though he had no right to take it
at all. He was wrecked by his drink
ing, whatever it was-thoroughly inca
pacitated for duty. But there was evil
dence, we understand, that he actually
was drugged and he had to face the
commissioners next day and explain
himself He was doubtless in poor
condition to explain and he was
discharged apparently without weighing
in the balance his twenty-three years Of
honorable and efficient service. In no
time he was thrown out Of an employ
ment for which he was peculiarly fitted
by ability and experience, and in which
that ability and experience had pub
lie value, and his successor was ap-
pointed.
We shouldn't wonder il there were
amsliorating circumstances to fireman
SAwIN's case and it is quite evident that
the department has lost a valuable en-
rloyee whose restoration would seem to
be in line of the public's interest even IL
fireman SAwIN was deserving of no per-
sonal observation-disclosures the one
naturally implies the other.
If we are correct in our estimate of
the case we should think the commits
sioners would cheerfully give it recon-
sideration.

A new series of postage stamps
will soon be in circulation. This
new series was first authorized
Feb. 1st, 1895. The government
prints it's own stamps at the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing instead
of having it done by the National
Bank Note Company. The new
stamps differ somewhat from the
old in the manner of engraving,
but in general the portraits and
the colors are the same. The one
cent stamp is still blue and the
picture of Franklin ornaments the
same. Washington's head In bright
carmine will still ornament the
two cent stamp while Jackson's
head will still be found on the pur-
pie stamp of the three cent denomi-
nation. Lincoln in velvet brown,
Grant in light brown and Garfield
in maroon will ornament respec-
lively the four, five and six cent is

eight cent lilac stamp while Web

livery boy will still be pictured on

his part of the service. Clay looks

the following which should be a
warning to ladies inclined to wear
big sleeves or bloomers: "Mrs.
Harvey Donagher, residing at
Fostoria, had a singular experience.
She had been up the street, and re-
turning home later than intended
she started to light the gasoline
stove without changing her large
sleeved waist. Unnoticed the
sleeves filled with gas generated
from the gasoline, and before she
knew it she began to float to the
ceiling. She screamed for assis'

nobody heard her, and she was
obliged to remain aloft in the room
until the gas escaped, when she
gently descended. Except a slight
bruise on the forehead she escaped
uninjured.

THE crop of corn this year in the
United States will be the largest
that has ever been knowh. 1t is
estimated at the present time that
the yield will exceed by 100000
0O0 bushels the record of any pre-
vious year. This condition did
not exist II north ago. AT that
time continued drought in nearly
all the cJrn states made the out
look dubious for an average yield,
but the rain came in copious, heavy,
continued showers just at the time
most needed, and to-day prosperity
hovers closer over millions of homes
than for many year.
