KNOCKED UNDER.

The war lord of Germany who ever
hears the sweet jangle that he was
chosen Of God to rule his people, has
at last knocked under and joined the
powers in the declaration that the war
must not be renewed against Greece
and that the Turk must accept what
the concert grants. This man who
by two swiftly succeeding deaths sud
denly came to crown would not on
ly menace the liberty Of the German
people, but menace the peace of Europe.
The gray matter Of his brain, however,
viii not cease to sizzle. There is the
Transvaai and England's expected
movement The opportunity for mis-
chief will seldom be wanting. The
wheels under his cap will never cease
to reyolve as long as he holds the
sceptTe OF the empire He is against
his grandmother, his mother and his
sister. As for the latter, the Queen Of
Greece, his mother, says: Willie froths
at the mouth whenever her name is
mentioned In his presence" In his boy
hood his sister Sophie tried to knock
some sense into him, failing in which
he never forgave her. He kicked her
then and he would now. He would
hazard the peace of Europe to spite
his sister, who came to rule as the wife
of king while Willie was but a mem
Der Of the German army. By standing
out against the powers he hoped that
Edim Pashaw would improve the occa-
sion by wiping out Athens But the
Sultan having declined the risk, King
Bill now instructs his minister at Con-
stant1nople to join the others in fixing
I'D the terms of peace.

IT DIDN'T WORK

Cleveland and his bond syndicate
were ST the bottom of the gold raids on
the treasury during the last DsmocTaric
administration Few now deny this.
IL will be remembered i'm the hast raid
the syndicate agreed to protect the
treasury for stipulated time for a
margin Of nine millions of dollars. The
raid attempted under Mckinley did not
work. but uRquestienably the president
WAS scared. In spite OF the attempt
the shipments Of gold TO Europe have
no apparent effect, and il Is not prob
able that the government VIII have any
difficulty in maintaining the reserve.
The outflow Of gold may be accounted
for in part by the tremendous increase
in the imports in anticipation OF the
esnacJrneut of the Republican tariff law
but as is pointed out in Dun,s trade re-
view the big imports now are likely

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

The United States senate, or at least
its Republican side. should not over
look the fact that the sugar schedule is
unsatisfactory to the body Of the par
ty. Experts have taken that schedule
and shown beyond doubt that it is in
the interest of the trust. with its mixed
ad valorem and specific duties. compli-
Gated by reference to standards, polar
iscopic tests and duties to, offset boun-
ties paid on exports, is an intended
mystery. The task of appraisement
and collection of duties on sugar i'm
ports would be a constant source of
confusion. IL, is intended to cover I'D
extra protection for the Sugar Trust
1t is estimated by experts that the re-
finers' protection under the Dingley
schedule would be about three-six-
teenths Of a cent a pound, and under
the senate schedule about seven-Six-
teenths TO half a cent pound.

EDITORIAL REFLECT.

Mr.. Alex Butts succeeds to the edit
or-in-chiefship of the Kansas City Star.
The promotion is a wise one for the
Star, and deserved one for Mr. Butts.
Had he not been a Kansan the fact Of
the conferred honor would have gone
unnoted outside Of the Star Office, in
all probability. The fraternity Of Kan
sas newspaperdom is a lineage like IN
to the link Of consanguinity, an alliance
so strong that a residence even in mis-
cradle Missouri cannot wholly efface it.
The Star, which is manned by Kansas.
will be more Sunfower-b here
after than ever. more a jayhawk than
q Missouri luminary. Its shine will be
Missouri, but its bloom and squawk
Kansan. AS Kansas would, in the es-
timation of the average MisSourian,
amount to little as state but for Kan
sas City, so the Star wouldn't prove no
great shakes as a light but for Kan
sas gray matter which feeds its flame
Still Alex Butts has our sympathieS-
The dynamo which supplies the current
to the carbon point is not recaoned or
counted by the fellow basking beneath
the arc-light- The individuality which
largely constituted the personal charm
Of leading writes on American dailies,
is being more and more sunk out Of
sight and of the knowledge Of the rea-
der. The reporter and the collector are
the only ones who hold their public
identity, and these in a local and very
circumscribed way. With Butts it will
be little different In spite of bad

THE a. P. P. AND VEST.

The fight being made on Senator Vest
Of Missouri by the A. P. A because of
his conviction that the Indian schools
under Catholic direction have made the
most marked progress is attracting
some considerable attention in his home
state and elsewhere The American
Protective association have undertaken
a difficult job TO down Vest in Missouri.
In quite a general discussion of the
principles of the A. P. A. So far as we
have seen there is little criticism Of the
general formulated principles of the or

olics of this country are very disobe-
dent subjects; for in all the history Of
this country we have never heard Of
q political bull issued by the Pope for
the government of his alleged American
subjects, nor of one that they ever
obeyed. Yet on a barren assumption
arising from a confusion Of ideas con-
corning the distinction between mat
tiers OF spiritual faith and political citi-
zenship, the American Protective asso-
ciaition demands that no Catholics shall
be allowed to mold Office under this gov
eminent, For the present they will be
permitted to vote, and they will never
be denied the privilege of paying taxes
and of doing las they have always
done a considerable share of the fight
ing in the ranks in the event of war;
but the Offices. civil and military, are
to be reserved for the superior people
who do not owe temporal subsection

this, for the American Protective asso-
citation to protest IT'S tolerance Of all

tional guarantee Of religious libertyf
Col Singerly, who is a protestant of
Quaker procliyities, holds that the dan

i've association is merely imaginary,
but were it not so that Americans
should not commit themselves to a Sc
cret political organization Of oaths, signs
and grips and passwords Of the para
site growths upon the body of free
government, secret political organiza-
tons il the hands Of ward manipula-
tors and designing bosses are the most
TO be dreaded.
The points, claims and declarations
made by Senator Vest, touching Indian
schools, will be hard to refute AS for
anything farther Popery will never be
allowed ito go" in political America
or in its temporal affairs TO any greater
extent than is felt the influence of any
other church. That sectarian influence
permeates everywhere cannot be sue
cessfully denied, but in no offensive
sense. Mckinley is Methodist, Cleve-
land a Presbyterian, and Garfield was
Christian, but all Americans. To say
that a man couldn't be Catholic er a
Lutheran and not be as good an Amer
lean would be nonsensicaL A number
of the enunciated principles Of the A.
P. A. receive the assent or endorse
ment of the great majority, but the
secret lodge behind them is objected 30
by that same majority. Democratic
Greece was plunged into bloody and
disastrous war only few months ago
which but for the influence Of a secret
political organization would not have
been possible.

THE TAILOR STRIKE,

There is much talk about the tailor
strike In New York. The workmen
have the sympathies Of the public. But
it's the old story of machinery and
cheap immigration labor. The tailor
trade is not the only one whose men,
bers are being forced into a species Of
slavery The Times-Star says: Tailors
who had learned their trade and who
were recognized as regular tourneymeH
received So week; trousers makers
received IS a week; those engaged In
making children's jackets 81 . week.
For q man whose stomach Graves some
thing better than can be found any day
in a garbage barrel these wages are
practically starvation wages. Board
and clothes such as the plantation negro
Of the South received prior to the war
are impossible in them. Naturally the
men who have been receiving Sucn
wages and who have grown colder and
hungrier as consequence have at last
rebelled. The garment-makers are on
a strike. One of them said: I'VE have
been receiving starvation wages; now,
Of course, we receive nothing. The first
process was slow starvation. If this
is prompt and sure, so much the bet
ter" The likelihood is that the strike
will prove failure, for there are living
in New York City probably five idle
garment-makers 10 every one that
worked. The clothing manufacturers
will sooner or later avail themselves Of
this condition and possibly put into
vogue a schedule of wages even lower
than the one just quoted.
1t is useless to speculate as 10 how
this cheapening process in the cost OF
clothing can be arrested. People will
not arrest it by refusing to buy cheaply.
The consumer is always bound to buy
where he can buy the cheapest. That
is human nature. There is a remedy,
however, a remedy found in just such
3 bill as President Cleveland vetoed
among the last acts of his official life.
We refer to the immigration restriction
bill. If the hordes Of poole. each one

STA and underbid the occupants Of the
New Yorw sweatshops|f this tide can
be arrested, as the educational Quali6
cation in the immigration restriction
bill would arrest it, a chance would be
left for New York garment-makers and
the garment nakers in other parts Of
the country to earn enough to at least
keep soul and body together. This they
have not done for the last eight or ten
years. The wages of the garment-work
ers in New York will not be raised,
strike or no strike, so long as five or ten
people stand ready to take the place Of
every one who strikes.
