The Test ofpntrlotism.

Editors may rage about "con-
sent of governed" and "limitations
of the Constitution" and politi-
oiansimagine vain things to come to
their advantage from hypocritical
palaver about the murder" of
Asiatics enlisted in "liberty cause"
but it will be all in vain. The
bark of their hopes will be wreck
ed upon the rocks of American
manhood. Against their rawlings,
their lies and their Pecksnifian
pretenses they will find arrayed
the simple creed of Decatur: MY
country, may she always be right;
but right or yrong-my country"
Search the heart of man who will
not subscribe to othatsentiment and
you will find there the germ of
treason. For in that final analysis
there is no other test of patriot
ism. We may argue this point
and that while yet the war drums
are silent. But with first hostile
shot fired, the first drop of Ameri-
can blood shed, all discussion is
closed until the fight is over and
