Me. Hav,s Pedirree

Once upon time a small child, having
committed some misdeIneanor, was found
crying in a closet. When asked what
the matter was, she replied. i've just
found out I've got a conscience" In Ike
manner do people, when the proper time
comes, frequently discover quite unex-
pectediy that they have pedigrees.
Col John Hay reputation among US was
based almost entirely upon his personal
qualities, which were quite delightful, and
upon certain writings Of his, which, as he
doesn't enjoy hearing them mentioned in
these days, viii not be accurately de-
soribed. Suffice it to saythat the language
used in these writings is quite rough and
wild, and led our English friends 70 sup
pose that Mr. Hay would go over there
with a scmbrero on his head and pair
of big Mexican spurs on his heels, and two
or three revolvers sticking out on different
parts of his person, and people who wished
to be very hospitable to ths new ambassa-
dor began to study Bret Harte and Alfred
Henry Lewis with great distress of body
and soul over the pronunciation.
But Mr. Hay did not care for this, and
objected to being introduced in London
society as the man who wrote the little
unmen ton abIes, don't you know. On
mature reflection he became convinced
that positively the only thing which would
remove the halo Of a dialect poet from
his pate was a pedigree. In England, If
man has pedigree he can tattoo himself
all over and never be referred to as the
tattooed man, only as the Duke of Butter
miIk'E great granddaughter; but if he does
not have 8 pedigree no possible amount
of erudifion or polish can save hiIn from
being known by his most obstrusive vharac-
teristic, and If he happens TO have harm
less weakness for cats he viii be known
as the catfancier, and If he happens u
own hotel he VIII be referred to as a
barber, i1st as likely as not. But with a
pedigree he is perfectly safe. AIr. Hay is

his connections over there, anybody dares

Personally Conducted Emigration.
The London Daily NewsrecentIyp published
a Berlin dispatch stating that. since the
assassination OF Canovas del Castillo, the
Spanish government has been sounding
the powers in regard TO common action
against the anarchists. Italy suggested
the establishment OF an International
penal clIony, and France has the matter
under consideration. Spain has offered TO
give the use OF one OF the Caroline or
Philippine Islands for the purpose. shon!d
the adhesion of France to the plan be
secured, other nations viii be invited to
Join.

outlines ef this brilliant scheme, 50 far.
have been given to the public. When

develop that Spain not only proposes To
furnish the island, but also would be will
ing to provide janitors services on rea
sonable terms. Spain is experienced in
the pacir1caton of Islands and in the

powers to furnish the facilities and at

the Hanna Government and that of the
Queen Regent should continue, it is not risk
ing much To say that the United States
viii be permitted to Join in the scheme. IN
such an event the powers would have 90
find vacant continent somewhere for
their anarchist colony. The reason is
that what constitutes, and alone consti-
tutes, an anarchist in Europe necessarily
does not constitute one here. In this coun-
try the term would be applied by rulers

miners, all friends of Cuba and all advo.

American Afarriases.

1t is Il curious thing, this disposition of
some people 10 interfere in the affairs of
other people. There are always individuals
who violently assert, in support of this be
bavior, that no man Iiveth to himself or
dieth to himself, and that the affairs of
every cne affect the community. Undoubr-
edly they do, but it is a question just
how far other people can help matters by
interfering. And one OF tie affairs in
which the public feel most intensely re-
sponsible is the affair of marriage.
Now, 1t is an indisputable fact that
when two people elect to spend their
lives together it is they, and not any one
else, W 10 must suffer most accuteIy if they

A Yukon Frontier War.

Private advices from the Pacific coast,
published in the New York Herald, convey
the impression that a boundary war ma ; be
precipltated in the Klondike region One
Of the principal industries of the Pacific,
including the Alaskan coast, is fish. and
this story may be OF that character. How

In brief, then, according 10 the reports
deputy United States marshals have been
rushed forward to the upper Yukon with
orders to swear In a posse comitatus and 20
swear at the Canadians. The latter, ii is
alleged, are occupying Dawson City, Circle
City, Forty Mile Creek and a lot Of other
territory now discovered to be within and
not without the American line OF Alaska.
We always have suspected that something
of this kind was SO to greater or less
extent, and would be glad to think that the
Administration of &r. Hanna had sand
enough to send even deputy marshal TO
look after it.
Probably there is little in the story.
Whether there is or not win make little diff
ference. The unfortunate people WIN will

The New York Campaign.


II. as seems to be considered certain, Mr..
Seth Low should accept the nomination
of the Citizens Union for mayor of New
York, the Platt machine organization
must indorse him or take the risk Of de-
feat with two ostensibIy Republican tickets
in the field In the latter event, what a
gorgeous chance there is for united, brave
and loyal Democracy We are mentioning
a chance and would Ike 70 inquire what
the Democracy viii do with it?
This journal has frequently ventured TO
remark that the battle In New Work, IL
It is not to be fought out on the straight
lines OF honest Democratic faith, doctrine
and the Chicago platform, would much bet
ter be lost. There are some Indications
that the potent influence of Waldorf
money may educate certain local leaders
OF might and magnitude down to the point
OF oooging the party law and the one
issue before the country, and may induce
them TO attempt the struggle on basis
satisfactory to Cleveland, Carlisle, ]. P.
Morgan, Whitney and Ickleheimer. In such
8 case it is much better that the battle
should result in so-called Democratic de-
feat. Victory with the Democratic laurels
covered and soiled by gold bugs would be
worse than total roUt. Under such cir
cumstances 1t would be far better far self
respecting New York Democrats to abstain
from partisan activity and allow per
sonalIy respectable Republican like Seth
Low TO capture the mayoralty
Yet there is splendid opportunity for
the Democratic party in New York! If 1t
VIII rise to it. thoroughly and unqualifiediy
indorse the Chicago platform. and renew
its binding bimetalIic vows, placing In
nomination a wise. strong, popular and
unassailabIe candidate, the situation is
such as TO promise a wsIkoEer rather
than race. On the other h land, If the
Democratic organization OF the national
metropolis is foolish enough to dodge plat
form OF issue, or to sell its birthright for
a mess Of pottage, by confiding its battle
standard TO some obnoxious and verminifer-
Gus 5o5ber anc corruptionist, It's proud

District Assembly No. e6, knights OF
Labor, held rousing big meeting last

The chief matter which demanded the

General Master Workman James R. Sow
ereign at the st. Louis conference last
week The resolutions, which are direct
ed against the system of government by
injunction operated against the striking
miners and 3 demand for free speech and
peaceable assemblage, maintain that all
men should be equal partners in the nat
ural resources of the earth and allowed
the right of existence equally The found
ers ofthe Governmentin the Declaration OF
Independence declared these rights 10 all
citizens, but because of the fact that a
few have combined and secured monopoly

ducerS and consumer are deprived oftheir
natural rights and a peaceful existence.
