According to an ancient joke, one lady
asked another: why is your father using
a cockade?" ''Oh, pas just joined the army
and navy storesn' And many people seem
to think that a cockade means nothing at
all beyond the fact OF a certain amount OF
social eminence. There is no real law upon
the matter, which is simply governed by
long-establisheG custom and usage.
According thereto there are three kinds
of English cOckades in use at the moment

There is no such thing a 'civil-service
cOckade." The royal cockade can be easily
recognized. It is quite circular. 1t is in
shape much like a double dahlia, and is
worn so that half of it is seen above the
top of the hat. 1T is also larger than the
other cockades and projects outward very
much more. The military cockade is the
one most usually seen. 1t consists of a
small circular projection, from the top of
which issues a fan-shaped ornament lit Is

The Tie That Binds

The speech Of Ambassador Hay at
the Lord Mayors Easter banquet in
London Wednesday night and it's cor
dial, even enthusiastic reception by the
notable Englishmen there assembled
constituted an event of more than or
dinary significance. Mr.. Hay sat at
the toastmaster's right hand. The
Spanish ambassador was to have sat at
the left hand side, but at the last min
ne he sent his regrets, pleading illness.
In the course of his remarks Colonel
Hay said;
I'VE are sometimes accused of look
ing after our own interests with a GER
tain energy and pertinacity. l might
say, in the spirit of pride rather than
contrition, that it only shows what
stock we are of; but this truth is in
contestable, that for nearly three gen.
eratiOns of men, and in spite of the
constant differences, there has been
peace between us and friendly regard
peace growing more firm and solid
as the years go by, and a friendship
which / am sure the vast majority OF
both peoples hope and trust may last
forever The good understanding be-
tween us is based on something deeper
than mere expediency. All who think
cannot but see there is a sanction like
that of religion which binds us in part.

world, Whether we will or not, we are

We cannot break. We are joint minis
ters in the same sacred mission OF
freedom and progress, charged with
duties we cannot evade by the imposi
tion Of irresistible hands"

iustitiabla exhibition, or the demand by
congress for an immediate decision by
Spain was merely logical and necessary
consequence Of them.
The question of the language proper for
use in such an ultimatum, or whether the
time for 1t had come, 1t not now open
to discussion. 1t has been decided; the
ultimatum went to Madrid Wednesday.
Now all repining, all criticism, all rebel
lion, is sediticn. Every attempt to pro-
woke popular discomfort by crying out
against war under the circumstances of
the situation, such as that made in an ad-
dress to workiLgmen recently sent out by
few clergymen and others, is a Grim
inal outgiving which, If persisted in, will
now render its authors liable to swift
punishment as enemies of the republic.

eral character must cease, under penalty

spirit was tolerable has passed. War has

The New Postmaster General.

No other appointment which Presi-

merits the gratitude of the nation as
does the nomination of Hon. Charles
Emory Smith to be postmaster general,

can conceive of but one other appoint

and that may be on the cards. We re-
fer to the promotion of Mr., Smith from
the postmaster generalship to the port

by training and temperament pre-emi-

These are times which bring strong
men to the front and send weak ones
to the rear. Mr.. Smith is one of the

ACTION WORTHY OF PRAISE.

From the Washington star
The action of many business establish
ments throughout the country in grant
ing to such of their employees as may en-
list for the war a continuation of salary
during absence and unemployment upon
return is eminently patriotic and praise
worthy. 1t will make for large enlist
ment and for valiant service in the field,
It is lust such action as fits the situation
in the United States, where the citizen Of
today is the soldier of tomorrow, and, the
war being over, he returns At once AGAIN
to peaceful vocation.
O.
The soldier is but poorly paid at best
It is but seldom that he fights for money.
But money nevertheless must be part of
his calculation. Those dependent upon
him for support must continue to be pro-
vded for. He sacrifices a great deal when
he leaves them, taking all of a soldier $
risks and reducing them as we'll as him
self to the meagre earnings of the camp.
To set his mind at rest on this point,
therefore; to provide for his family in his
absence by continuing his salary to them,
will be to increase his usefulness an hun
dred-fold.
He will likewise greatly benefit by the
reflection that he is not losing ground at
home during his absence. If he survives
the war he viii not have to begin at the
bottom again or be forced to scurry
around in search of employment. His old
place will remain open TO him His chair
will be kept at the table both in his own
house and in that of his employer. Things
will not have moved on leaving him be-
hind.
These are wise provisions. and if the
struggle should prove TO be at all fierce
or protracted, they are likely to be fol-
| lowed by others, showing the proper APP
| probation of the services of those who
! take the field in support of the country,
| The volunteer soldier encounters many
| hardships. lie risks his life off as well as
| on the field of battle. The sudden change
| from the pursuits of peace TO the trials
| of the camp and the march Is of itself
very severe. He is entitled to all con-
sideration, beth as regards his services
| In the field and opportunity for him ar'
ter the war is over. Whatever is calcu-
| lated. therefore, to give him additional
heart for the struggle and comfort while
he is engaged in it adds to the fighting
| resources of the country,
