THE WHITE VIOLET.

At Nantai, close under the great south
wall of buhchan, lived Suen Moi, tho yio-
let girl, in the house Of her father, the
maker Of baskets. But no was old, his
hands had lost their skill and no was like
blind fowl picking ut random after
worms, They would have beau poor had
he not been as careful with his cash rs a
bee with its honey. Suen Moi did not
know, so she sold violets that heaven
might bestow upon her the hundred bless
ings Her flowers grew In front of tho
house, which faced the north, and she knew
the flowers loved her because when they
blossomod they always turned their heads
toward the door
She called the flowers her children, gave
them water when the hot sun tried to
scorch them and kept the weeds away
Every day she picked the best ones and
sold them, that her parents might not die
poor. Whenever she sold bunch, she al
ways whispered, "Ni-ho.chi-lok, that
they might find comfort in tho parting.
"Tho flowers of Sucn Moi have SOULS"
those at the market said. "Thcy know
her voice and her touch, and when they
pass into strange hands they droop their
hoads and die"
But Suen Moi said they only wanted
water.
One morning, just as she had finished, a
young man stopped at tho gate.
"Do you sell flowers9" he asked
Eyes, honorable sir" And she bowed
low, for she knew by his dress that he was
n man of rank.
want to buy some of YOU"
She took the basket to him and held it
out that no might please himself. He took
one flowbr. Then from tho purse at his
belt he brought out coin which no dropped
into her hand. 1t was n long piece of yell
low metal shaped like knife. Upon it
were characters which Suen Moi could not
understand.
ut Is too much, she said like child
chat cannot calculate.
81 give it TO you because you love your
flowers and are good to them" answered
She stranger
She watched him ouriously as he walked
away, and then she looked at tho coin.
Whom she went into the house, she showed
81 to her parents
sit is very ancient" said her father.
There is one like it in the museum at
Tuhchan."
1t is gold, )" said her mother "If we
Ind three more, We should DO RICH"
Tho next morning the stranger came
again. He came over to where Suon Mol
was gathering flowers and said to hor:
"Suen Moi, Suen Moi, give mo u flow
err"
II hayo picked the best one for you,"
she answered blushing.
why have you picked tho best one2"
he asked
Because know you love tlowers too, "
abe answered.
do you know you arc flower" he
said.
She hung her head. No one had ever
spoken like this to her before.
You are as beautiful as tho flowers,

The Bid for Armor.

The result of the first competition for
supplying the defensive plates of the bat
tie ships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin,
is that Congress must revise Its legislation
On that subject.
Had the maximum price forthe 5000 tons
required been made $4OO per ton, as the
House provided, under Secretary HERBERTis
calculation that this would allow the Beth
lehem and Carnegie companies so per cent.
profit, those companies might conceivably
nave put In concerted bids within the limit.
But the Senate's reduction to $500 a ton
obviously wiped out most of this estimated
profit and, as the two companies had other
profitable work, and knew they possessed
the only armor-making plants In the coun-
try, and that not only would the ships be
greatly delayed, but heGOvernment might
be liable to pay damages II the builders for
not furnishing the armor in season, they alb

The only offer came from the Illinois
Steel Company, whose original proposals,
substantially verified in it's bid, may nave
been somewhat responsible for tho final
cutting down Of the price limit from $500
to 5000 per ton. 1t was willing to make
armor for $240 per ton il 1t could nave

Gen. Rivera a Prisoner OF War.

The passage of the Senate resolution do
clarins it the duty of tho President to pro-
test against the trial of Gen. RIVERA by q
drumhead court-martial has had the desired
effect. 1t seems to have produced an almost
instantaneous change of heart in the Span
ish authorities. In twenty.four hours after
its passage Secretary SHERMAN had the
pleasure of announcing that Gen. RIVERA
would not be tried by drumhead court
martial, but that he would be treated as .
prisoner of war.
We do not know exactly how this was
accomplished. but 1t is fair to infer that
Secretary SHERMAN, unlike his predeces-
sor, was in thorough sympathy with the
resolution Of the Senate, and that he COM
municated 1t promptly to Minister DE
LONE, who kept the wires hot between
Washington and Madrid until the Spanish
Government gave the necessary order to
Gen. WEYLER. Mr.. SHERMAS's conduct,
as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, in the SANGUILY case, when he
insisted upon the immediate passage Of
tho resolution hat saved SANGUILY, com.
manded the admiration of his countrymen f;
and that feeling will be increased by his
prompt action In favor of Gen. RIVERA and
the requirements Of civilized warfare.
The Spaniard is no fool II he Is a bar
barlan; and Spain realizes now that the
American people have a Government that
represents their sentiments. and that they
are no longer to be trifled with. Spain
knew Mr.. CLEvELAND's indifference to the
fate of American prisoners, and his prede-
Lotions in favor of Spanish tyranny as
against Cuban liberty, and she presumed
upon them. She knows now that Mr..
MoKINLEY's Administration sympathizes
with liberty a. against tyranny, and she
governs herself accordingly.
The Intervention of our Government in
behalf of Gen. RIVERA is not only justified
by the dictates of humanity, but 1t is also
founded upon the acknowledged principles
of civilized warfare. The history of the
Christian world is full of ~precedents, and
the records of our own Government are not
without them. When, for instance, in
1872, the Cubans were waglng that ten
years war for freedom, which was finally
terminated by their acceptance of those
promises of Spain. whose violation is the
origin Of the present war. Secretary FISH
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1897-04-10

Every word which THE Sun has ever said
concerning the improperly Of the misuse
of Government vessels for private recrea-
tion or recuperation by Mr.. CLEVELAND,
applies with equal force to the misuse Of
the Dolphin by President MCKINLEY.
Az we remarked last Monday. 1t is not o
question of persons.
The President either has listened to some
very bad advice from some very foolish ad-
wiser, alike short-sighted as a politician
and inadequate as a public moralist, or
has yielded spontaneously to the strong
temptation offered to his convenience and
his pocket in the evil precedent established
by his stolid and soggy predecessor.
This is peculiarly unfortunate. for the
lapse, or collapse, occurs when he has been
hardly a month in Office, and at q time when
about twenty-five million people of mature
age in this country are watching him to
discover of what stuff he is made.
1t is not a pleasant or a r~eassuring exhi-
bition that he is giving them this week. If
the Dolphin's boiler should burst, sparing
the skins of the Presidential deadhead
party, but soaring Mr.. MCKINLEY out of all
thought Of nautical enterprise at the public
expense, it would be about the best thing
that could happen under the circumstance
for the President n for the country.
