Those who INDUCED in jeremiads
against the character of American dip
lomats and consuls, after the report that
Emperor William had found it necessary
to protect Ambassador White from sys-
tematic snubbing in Berlin, and to COM
mand that he be shown the customary
civilities by the German court, were
much too hasty. The circular letter on
which the report was based was only
the formal notification sent out after the
reception Of every foreign minister. Am
bassador Whites denial of discourtesy
is itself sufficient to dispose of the silly
flake"

If Congressman Barrows does not find
some difficulty in getting reelected,
next fall. it won't be the fault of Mr.. f.
w. Peabody, who did much to secure his
election as a reform candidate over Att
wood, in 1896. 1t appears that the reform
congressman is not enough of a reform
er for Mr.. Peabody, because he procured
the appointment of a postmaster at
Quincy OF whom Mr.. Peabody does not
approve. Inasmuch as Mr.. Peabody does
not live in Quincy, and as the new post
master has a large endorsement of
prominent citizens of the place, it would
appear that there was some force in
Congressman Barrows' suggestion, that
Mr.. Peabody's recent letter was an in
discretion. With opposition forming
within the party against three republ-
can congressman, the democratic hope
of increasing their representation in the
next congress should seem brighter than
Il has been considered.

taking for her subject the Glass strug-

there are now three classes in America
the capitalist, the middle-class men, and
the workingmen. The middle-class men
are trying to become capitalists, and are
being constantly driven down by the
latter into the ranks Of the working peo-
pie, SO that eventually there will be but
Two classes, the capitalists and the pro-

AN AssYRlAN SERVICE.
The Baptism of Christ Celebrated With
Interesting Ceremony.


A peculiar and interesting religious
service was conducted by the local col
ony of Assyrians, Sunday morning. in
their hall at "a Southbridge street 1t
syrians. who number about IS persons,
have ever held any religious service in
this city The Worcester Assyrians all
belong to the Assyrfan jacob Church,
which in ritual and many Of its features
of worship, much resembles the Greek
Church. The occasion Sunday was ar
ranged to celebrate the baptism Of
Christ, and, in addition to the native
Assyrians, a few Armenians also at
tended. The service was conducted. by
an ordained Assyrian priest Of sham
mas" named Drain Barsoom.
After the devotional portion Of the
service, much resembling that per-
formed in any church, the shammas
called for four men in the audience to
assume the characters always por-
trayed in an Assyrian observance of
Christs baptism. These four men were
chosen, not at random, but secured the
places by bidding, similar to that of the
auction room. The most important
character is that Of the water carrier,
and the Assyrian selected by the sham
mas for that part bid 81 for the privi-
lege. The second character selected
was supposed to represent John the Bap-
fist, and $3.50 was the price for which
the place was secured. The other two
carried a cross and the Bible, respect
lively, and their bids were 1925 and $3.50.
The money obtained will be given to the
Assyrian sick benefit Of this city, of
which DIR. A. Y Yoosuf, a well-known
physician of this city. is the president
and organizer
The ritual these four selected men
performed was most interesting. They
marched about the audience singing
songs and bearing in their hands light
ed candles. Each person in the audi
ence also had candle. Then they
knelt down upon the floor and all
joined in a long prayer.
The only other time when the Assyr-
fans held a service here was at Christ
mas, when the birth of Christ and the
wise men of the east were exemplifed.
The next local Assyrian service will be
held on Easter Sunday, probably at the
same place.

The announcement that President
Mckinley will make few changes in
the civil service rules, in Difference to
the representations Of his cabinet min.
listers concerning certain confidential
clerks and deputies in the several de-
partments, viii afford meagre comfort
TO the place hunters. The need of such
changes might be conceded without in
any way weakening the merit principle
If the order should be accompanied with
one placing the consular service, the

ployees under the civil service rules, the
position of the president would be
strengthened. This will have to come
ultimately.

IT will be interesting to watch the ope-
ration of the grants in aid" which JOS
eph Chamberlain proposes as means of
putting the British West Indian colonies
on their feet and prevented absolute
bankruptcy. The European beet sugar
industry has very nearly choked the SUI
gar cane business in these colonies,
thanks to the continental bounty system,
which enables Englishmen to buy Ger
man sugar cheaper than the Germans
themselves can get it at home, and at
prices that are the despair of the colo
NAL sugar growers. To impose coun-
tervailing duty on imported sugar, cut
off sugar that comes from Germany
and compel all England to depend on
the product of the colonies, would raise
the price of sugar and would be con-
sidered a hardship and a tyranny by
the English people. Hence the only
method of giving assistance to the half
ruined colonies was a direct grant of
money. What sort of opposition
this proposition viii stir up in
parliament remains to be seen.
1t is Of course only a subterfuge
for protection, and one Of sort that
would hardly be tolerated in an avowed
protectionist country. What is worse,
| the chances are that no permanent relief
will be afforded by this system, but that
in short time the conditions will be as
discouraging as ever, and larger grants
will be demanded. The truth of the mat
ter is, as has been pointed out before,
these islands can have no assured pros
perity and attain no great commercial
or industrial development so long as
they are cut off from their contiguous
and natural market in the United
States.

1t has been decided that the United
States Army for the invasion of Cuba
shall, like the soldiers of revolutionary
times, wear knee breeches The ma
terial, however, Will be entirely differ
ent, for the soldiers of 1898 viii wear
brown canvas breaches, long stockings,
and substantial leggins. The reason
for the proposed adoption Of knlcker-
bockers by the army in Cuba Is that
thew Will be better suited for use in
the hotter climate. Because Of the
dense undegrowth in Cuba 1t would
be necessary TO wear legslns even It
long trousers We're used. The COM
bination Of leggings and unnecessary
trouser legs would cause the soldiers
great discomfort. Experience has
shown that the short trousers are bet
ter in many respects for camp wear IN
hot countries.
