Richard Sorger, together with three other
sportsmen from this city, went out cunning
early yesterday morning. When they
reached the farm of John Meintzel, a few
miles from here, they came across a covey of
quails. which were trailed to the latter's
premises.
Meintzel does not allow any cunning On
his premises, n had his ground posted to
that effect. When the sportsmen entered
his farm he angrily ordered them away, and
as his request was not Immediately com
piled with hot words were exchanged.
The farmer then hurried to his residence
and secured a shotgun, with which he
threatened the ~sportsmen. Sorger and his
companions say they were about 30 leave the
premises when a shot was fired, Meintzel
being only a distance of fifty yards away.
Sorger is now lying at his nome suffering
from an ugly gunshot wound in his right
arm and face.

Making a Strong Point.

The merchant marine engineers. who are
in session in this city just now, want Con-
gress to pass bill TO prevent the employ
ment as engineers on registered vessels of
any except citizens OF the United States.
They contend that on the American steam
ship lines that get a big subsidy from
the government and are convertible into
commerce destroyers in case of war, en-
gineers are employed who live in Great
Britain and work at comparatively low
wages, because the cheap cost of living
in that country enables them to do SO.
They claim Furthermore that these foreign
engineers would not, in case of war, give
their allegiance 10 this government, and
it is insinuatcd that ii would not take much
to make a ship useless for months
All these points are worth considering.
1t is the duty of the government to see that
its money is not paid TO foreigners to the
exclusion of Americans, and that ii does
not bring cheap foreign labor in competi-
tion with any class OF American mechanics.

Another reason VIII p,he bond bill should

Homes for Disabled Veterans.

As the years roll by the number OF
veterans who seek the shelter and COM
fort of the national homes for disabled
soldiers grows annually larger. When they
were in the vigor and strength of their
youth they rallied to the defense OF the gov
ernment; when the war closed they returned
to their accustomed pursuits in farm and
field and workshop and labored honestly
for their own support and that of their
families. Now that old age creeps upon
them, the hardships and fatigues of former
years tel upon their weakening frames;
hand and foot cease to be as active as they
were once upon a time, and the old fellows,
many OF whom have no near relatives, and
but little to make old age comforta BILE and
cheerful. seek the homes the government
has provided for them.
The annual report Of the home, Just
published. gives many Interesting sta
tistics. All OF these tend to show the neces-
sity for providing additional accommoda-
tions for the veterans who from year to

The Responsibility Is Great.

The report OF the unprotected condition
of the ironworkers employed on the new
postoffice building, published in another
column, is almost too horrible TO believe.
Yet, every word of it is said TO be true.
When men in the dead of winter are com
peeled to work at such dizzy heights, with
nothing but air and murderous crossbeams
between them and the ground, it seems as
if some one in authority should exert him
tempting fate to make human sacrifice.
Yet this larnentab.e state of affairs has
existed since the building reached dan
gerous height, and in addition TO the four
lives that have been lost, there have also
been a number of serious accidents.
The contractors state plainly that they
have provided all the safeguards their
contracts call for and that no Others will
be furnished, which practically places the
responsibility. of further casualties with
the government officers in charge. 1t is
claimed that the cause of the nom

Regarding the race track question in
Virginia, the Richmond Times very per-
tinently says: "The plain issue is, which
is the most worthy of preservation, the
morals of men aud women or a breed of
horses" But the Times does not go quite
far enough. The breed of the horses used

Should the reported alliance between Rus
sia and Turkey be a fact, 1t will prove a
great blessing to the Christian world, mas.
much as it will insure protection to the
Armenians. 1t will also put an end TO
British ambition to extend her power in
Egypt, and in this respect please Germany,
Austria and France. The compact would
undoubtedly be approved by these coun-
tries, because 1t would practically isolate
Great Britain. and instead of endangering
the peace of Europe, would strengthen the
relations between all the powers opposed
to further British aggression.
The alliance is said to be framed on
the lines of the Nukler-Skelessi agree
ment, made in 1888 by Car Nicholas
l and Sultan Mahmond II. Both pow
ers, under that treaty, entered into
an offensive and defensive alliance and
pledged themselves TO render assistance to
each other in time of war and TO give aid
in subduing internal troubles. AT that time
Turkey was in even a worse condition than
at present. Her exctiequer was exhausted,
civil war had devastated her territory, and
The morning times., 1896-01-26

1t goes without saying that vessels which
it may need in an emergency should be
orficered and manned by none save Amer
lean citizens, and that the ships are not
made unseaworthy, for however brief a
period, just at the time when their services
may be most urgently required.
One OF the conditions of the act granting
subsidy OF $500 900 year to the Ameri-
can steamship line is that the vessels are
to be differed and manned by American
citizens. A certain period was allowed
to make the change in officers and crews.
but that. 1t is believed, terminated some
time ago. From the charges preferred by
the merchant marine engineers it would
appear that this stipula ton has not been
observed, and that foreign engineers are
employed where Americans should be at
work. This is a matter for the Secretary
of the Treasury to look after. who should
take immediate steps to safeguard the
interests OF both the government and
American engineers.

year will lie crowtling in larger numbers 10
the homes until little by little they go 10
answer the last roll call and cumber earth
no more. 1t will not do to permit these
men, who offered their lives when the gov
ernment was in peril. to become objects of
public charity. The pensions they receive
are, in the majority of instances, insuffi-
cient to provide them with food and cloth
ing and those little comforts TO which old
age ought to be entitled. The best place
for them is the Soldiers Home, with its
ample accommodations, good commissary
departments, cheerful surroundings, and
everything to make their declining days
full OF ease and peace and comfort.
No man begrudges them what they have
fully earned and deserved. No money ex-
pended in their behalf will cause even a
murmur of objection. Enlarge the homes
as much as need be to make every old
veteran feel that his services are ap-
preciated, even 10y the generation that did
not witness them, but knows of them as a
piece of the countrY's grandest history.
