The election of a Worcester grammar
school principal to the office of depart
ment commander of tine Massachusetts,
Grand Army of the Republic is doubly
an honor to the city, The office has
been more than once ably filed by Wor-
cester men, but, aside from the personal
fitness of the new commander, William
H. Bartlett, there is peculiar signifi-
canoe in having at the head of the
largest and most representative organ
ization Of the old soldiers, a man to
whose care the education of boys and
girls has been entrusted. OF the merits
of the controversy which has resulted in
the recent upsetting of precedent and in
the election of Mr.. Bartlett, we hardly
need concern ourselves now. The revolt
against the so-called "house of lords, +"
the past commanders who have a life
membership in the annual encamp-
ments, has triuInphed but by a, com
paratively narrow margin THE chances
are, however, that that margin will
grow rather than shrink, for he.feeling
of discomfort is byfn means confined

it will find no doubt sympathetic echoes
from other parts of the country.

Lord Sa1isbury's announcement Of
Spontaneous assurance from Russia
that any port she may open in China
will be free to commerce. does not indi-
cate that England has suffered any Sc
rious reverse in the recent negotiations.
It goes far to assure the world of peace,
even though the loan be a matter of
such price rivalry that China dare not
accept either the British or the Russian
offer Meanwhile, Germany has Sc
cured the desired important concessions
in Kiao Chou, and here also there is
promise of an open port. On the whole,
England seems in a fair way to hold her
own, at least.

supporter Of the administration.
Yet, if his resolution had come from the
other side Of the chamber, 1t would be
interpreted as deliberate attempt to
embarrass the president and force his
hand. Nothing more serious than talk
is likely to result from Mason's and
Cannon's resolutions, for they will be
Enothered in the foreign affairs commit
tee. The present, however, is a very in
opportune season for infiammatory
Trades against Spain. There is fair
prospect, If the jingoes win keep their
mouths SMUT, that the Cuban war will
be terminated within a few months,
without involving the United States in
war, but the jingoes who think to make
capital out of their noisy mouthings are
not content with this. When the lingo
correspondents haven't any news, they
are Struck by Minister Woodford's dis
satisfied and Respondent look'' or by
"the drawn and haggard face" of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and they forthwith have
visions of portentous war clouds Such
senseless performances as were given in
the senate by Billy" Mason and others
Of that stripe are calculated to make
those visions a reality. The Cuban
junta is doing it's utmost to provoke war
with Spain, and if that crowd cannot be
suppressed, there is all the more cause
for decent behavior in congress.

All the rfdicule and abuse that have
been heaped upon Emile lola as a writer
and moralist, count for naught beside
the struggle he is now making before
the eyes Of the world for what he be-
lieves is the essence of liberty, and for
the correction of what he and countless
others believe to have been one of the
greatest political crimes Of the century
All thought of personal advertisement
and vain gloriousness are cast aside,
and whatever offenses the novelist may
have committed are forgotten in the
contemplation of the fight he is making,
almost single-handed and alone, against
tyranny and military despotism. His
case seems utterly hopeless. There is
no expectation that he will receive a
greater measure of fairness or justice
than his predecessor, or than he him
bunal to which he has been called to an
swer for impeaching the judicial integ-
rity Of the chief military authorities of
the French nation. Witnesses refuse to
testify, or absent themselves from the
court on f1imsy pretexts, and no effort
is made to bring them to, examination.
On the street and almost within the
court room itself, lola is subjected to
insult and persecution, and threatened
with actual violence. What prejudices
the world against the government is the
evident intent not to allow anything
like thorough and impartial presenta-
ton Of evidence for the proof Of the
charges which lola has brought against
the officers who condemned Capt. Drey-
fls to penal servitude as traitor and
spy employed in the service Of Ger
many The conviction of lola will prove
nothing, for the trial is not conducted
with judicial fairness, and the mad
ratings of the anti-Semitic press and
people give the proceedings the char
acter of malicious and unreasoning race
persecution. For these reasons, lola
will inevitably acquire the standing of
a martyr.
