There is a lot of fool talk about jim
goism. There is mighty little of it on
board the United States craft. The
name is a bug-a-boo with to which to
scare people away from a sound con-
sideration of what is best for the
American people at home and abroad.
Let the resistance of our people be
preached to the encroachments of for
eign peoples, or a plea made for our
own industries as contrasted with the
Industries of other countries, or an as
sertion of the rights of the American
people to such defenses and commercial
outriders as are needed for her sue
cessful trade, and the hue and cry of
jingoism is raised. 1t is time this hob
goblin of the past was laid in it's little
bed to know no more resurrection for
ever 1t has been hurled in derision
at evlIy statesman of influence or note
who in the past has made American
interests the first consideration, and it
is being used today to prevent a pro-
per course in our relations to Hiawii
and Cuba and Nicaragua. There is
something better than denouncing
true Americanism, and that is heartily
supporting it.

The more William of Germany ex-
periments. with premiers and chancel-
lors and other state officers, the more
fully he is persuaded that he made a
mistake in shipping Prince Bismark.
The old Chancellor is a man of iron and
nerve and would oppose his royal mas
ter in all that he thought for the good
of consolidated Germany, but in all
that makes for the imperialism of the
crown he could be depended upon TO
maintain the royal prerogatives. Will
lam sees this at last and as he grows
in years and sense comes to more cor
dial relations with the old stalwart.

1t will be amusing to follow out the
steps of Sovereign in his new role as
travelling agent of the knights Of
Labor his avowed object as general
visitor being to steal the hearts of the
order so as to secure their support Of
his candidacy for the presidential nom
inatiOn against the pretensions of Bry-
an. 1t will not be an unequal fight.
Bryan has behind him all the remnant
of the 16 to l host that battled and
bled and fell and was defeated so de-
cisively one year ago. Sovereign will
have behind him the support of his
own labor host and all of their
brethren who can be mustered into
the service. No mean array on either
side. Will Sovereign attempt to cap
ture the Democratic National conven-
ton as did Bryan, or will he WELD a
freee lance as did Henry George in
the late New York discussion? In
fact it is not certain that either Bryan
or Sovereign can command the forces
of the Democracy in the next nation
al convention of the faithful, for al
ready the free silver god is being for
saken of his worshippers. But it is
a long road from now to three wears
hence, and people as erratic as Bryan
and Sovereign may go any length be-
tween now and then. Conditions NAV
not then be on speaking terms with
those of a year ago.

There is no institution of this great
nation more deserving of the support
and efforts of the people, more justly
chargeable upon their sympathies,
than the Homes" for the soldiers and
their widows and orphans. But when
these homes, particularly those in
which the old veterans children are
being educated, are so brutally con-
Quoted that it is necessary to make a
pubic example of those who conduct
them, are so cruel in their discipline
that the children have to be removed
in order to save their lives, then it is
time for the state and national gov
eminent, under which such libels upon
the name of home are organized. TO
come down with swift punishment up-
on the heads of these institutions.
1t was not that these sons of national
defense might be thus treated that
these homes were organized. There
are good men in every state to man
such homes, and there is carelessness
or worse when men with such brutal
instincts are chosen to conduct them.
1t arises out of the spous system
that makes place the reward of polit-
ical service. The service that such
men render must needs be dirty work,
they are capable of no other.

The walking delegate has come to
grief in New York, and the decision Of
Judge Beach will work his eternal
ruin unless it is reversed. BY this de-
cision Benjamin Davis, a non-union
workman, secures $500 Judgment
against the United Portable Hosting
Engineers union, to which walking
delegate Gibbons is made co-defendant
for damages sustained by continued
idleness as the result of Gibbons eff
forts to prevent his employment. Glib
son had followed Davis up and under
threats of causing strike had secur-
ed his discharge from numerous places
where he had secured employment
This decision holds the union RESPONSE
BILE for the wages the discharged work
man would have earned, had he been
left to his labors undisturbed by the
union and its officers. 1t is a little
singular that a similar question is now
pending settlement in an English
court.

The modern army rife, to be eff
fective, is intended to wound
rather than kill. The dead man is
done with, whereas the wounded man
demands the care of two others to
remove him from the field and whole
corps of attendants in hospital. These
detract so much from the active fight
ing force and are an occasion of weak
ness rather than strength. 1t is not
the active fighting in battle that counts
so much, as the number that is dis
abled or prevented from entering the
field.
