| even of Kingdoms and empires, and
wars of conquest will scarcely be UNI
| dertaken in satisfaction of a mere thirst
| for glory. Unless it appear that bust
ness, interests will be enhanced, such
a war is very improbable in these days.
If the country of the Beers had not be-
come large gold producer, the present
crisis could scarcely have arisen. There
would have been no rush of British
| subjects thither, no issue would have
| sprung up between the Uitlanders and
the Transvaal government, and Eng
land would have had no motive for in
| reference.
| Nevertheless. a war of conquest is
| just as distinctly ''lmperialistic" in
| character when dictated by the COM
| mercial idea as when set on foot to
| crafty military ambition. 1t is just
as indefensible, perhaps more So be-
| cause the idea of sordd mercenary
| gain is one of the most ignoble that
| can be invoked as justification for
| the deliberate subjugation of a people.
But in Englands action there is no
avoWed purpose to deprive the people
| Of the Transvaal of the right of self
government. Her position seems to De
| that the outlanders are also part of
| the people of the country, entitled to
| voice in its affairs, and she proposes
to intervene for their protection. 1t
| seems to be an illogical view, because
the outlanders are not entitled to Brit
ish protection unless they are British
subjects, and if British subjects, they
certainly are not justified in demand
ing the rights of citizenship in the
| Transvaal republic.
But whatever England's professions
may be. it is certain that if she triumph,
as doubtless she will, the war will be
essentially one of conquest. The Beers
will be deprived of the control Of their
own country, and in effect made sub
ject to the dominant power of Great
Britain. From Cairo to the Cape" is
favorite cry throughout the British
empire The English desire to doni-
nate that whole vast region not merely
in the pride of conquest, but because
they think it will enrich them. 1t is
clearly an imperialistic principle, but it
rests fundamentally upon the CONNER
| cial idea

Trying to Boost Sampson.

~ ONE Of the editors who got great
~ comfort out of the fact that
~ Santiago" was inscribed along
side Manila" on the Madison-square
arch, have undertaken to revive the
Schley-Sampson controversy. BY what
warrant they reach conclusions in
SIMPSONS favor does not appear, the
fact nevertheless is that these editors
construe the arch incident as a con-
vincing proof OF Simpsons superiority
as if the lettering settled any factor
in the controversy over the names of
the two men who figured in the Santa
go affair.
The New York Evening Post, for in
stance, finds that the pathetic side of
the Dewey celebration was in the COM
parative neglect of SAMPSON" it gets
great comfort out of the fact that
Santiago" was blazoned on the arch:
it inclines to the opinion that the block
ade off the Cuban coast was of quite as
much account as the run into Manila
bay; it remarks that the merest chance
prevented Sampson from rivaling the
fame of Dewey.
Whether it was a chance, lucky or I'M
lucky, the fact remains that Sampson
was practically not present at the bat
! tie of Santiago-that is his misfortune;
all the friendliness in the world cannot
make a popular idol out of Admiral
Sampson by telling what he would have
done If he had happened to be present.
But even if Sampson had been in the
thick of the fight. the fact remains
| that, aside from its practical signifl-
| canoe, there is halo about the name
of Manila that Santiago can never
| wear. Dewey sailed right in. past Cor
regidor and over the waters that were
said to be defended against his ap-
| proach. That is to say, there is in
| Deweys intrepid advance an element
of romance which, in any event, the
| prosaic weeks of the Santiago blockade
| can never share.
For the rest, it is quite absurd to
seek a Sampson revival in the fact
| that the name of the battle in which
! he had essentially no share is written
alongside the name made forever fa-
NOUS by Dewey. No American is dis
posed to withhold praise for what was
achieved at Santiago-that engagement
was a splendid triumph for the navy
of the United States. 1t is true that
the public was disposed to take offense
when Admiral Sampson himself and his
friends, on his behalf, undertook to
crown him. at the expense of others,
with laurels he was not entitled to
wear Public opinion makes and I'M
makes popular heroes; the fact remains
that during the imposing demonstra-
tons of the past ten days, on testimony
that is nowhere questioned, the out
| bursts for Schley were in impressive
contrast with those that We're showered
| on Sampson by the multitudes.

SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.
With Some FIippant Comments by 8
 Boston Man.

Boston Man.
 We have received a little pamphlet which we hope has been distributed widely among our readers. The care ful study of it may put an end to doubts that have embittered house holds and poisoned the wells of domes tic happiness. This little book-we dislike the term booklet et'-tells in simple language how to dress your coachman, groom, butler, doorman and page. Thus, for instance, the coach man should wear six buttons on his coat-two in the back at waist and two at the bottom of skirt. He shold also have flats on his pockets. Otherwise he might be mistaken for the groom, who has no flaps on his pockets, and has five buttons in front and six be- hind. These buttons should always match the metal trimmings on the har' ness. Ardent Bryanites will, of course. use silver. The hat must be silk. There is no alternative. Slouch hats are no longer worn by the coaehmen of our more exclusive citizens, and the more fastidious insist that the hat should be new one. not a cast-off dicer of the muster. The coachman, when on du- ty, should smoke only cigars. They should cost at least at the rate of three for a quarter. Green baize cloth aprons should match your billiard ta- bIe. Crest buttons, worn by your ser wants, should be ducal. There are several dukes in England so there may be a variety in the device. By paying attention to these details and the ad- vice as to other matters given by this pamphlet, you will be obliged to be more scrupu1ous as to your own dress; for it is sad sight when the groom IS mistaken for the master.-Boston Jour- nal.

The cashier of a thriving bank in q big western town was doing the talk Ing.
 When I began my career in the banking business, " he said Tt was in an old established bank in an Ohio city to which my father had been elected president. We didn't live in the town until his election, and moved there when he took charge. After about six months experience I was made assistant receiving teller. and be- tween that and my youth, and the fact that my father was president, I guess l was about four sizes too large for the earth. But I got over it, and one day when there was a lulI and the re- ceiYing teller had gone across the street to look after a check that he had taken l popped up to the window and took my first lesson. A rough looking old fellow came that thought was a farmer from HayvilIe. He came straight for me, and said he wanted to deposit some money. It wasn't my es+A2-4Aszs29 u A4A4AACA lhG d uGA EuSI0I4EIH but thought I knew it all, and began 10 talk to him. He said that he wanted 70 deposit a cent that day, but had more. Well, gave him the ha ha then and there, and told him to run around to the Dime Savings bank and become 8 depositor on the instaIIment plan. l also said some more funny T 1ff L1, d of7 |. there was, he said that while he wish ed to deposit only a cent that day. he would put in two cents next day. and four next, and so on for four weeks l gave him the laugh again, and told him We really couldn't do 8 small busi- ness like that, and he must be a good hoy and run along to the penny ante bank around the corner. Then he went away, and I was still laughing when the receiving teller came back.
 T told him what was making me smile. and he looked at me kind of funny, I thought, and went to figuring on sheet of paper without further comment. Presently he handed the paper over to me. That old fellow hG 6dIdz IS d ulllIOudlE6t WH0SG DHSI= ness we have been after tor a year. Those figures will show you that what you consider is a penny ante bank business would have amounted to something over $21OOOO in the four weeks, or 24 banking days, during which he wished to deposit his money. He's a crank, but he's got the cash, all the same, and we want him. Just what effect your able funny business has had upon him I can't say, but suppose you go and talk to your father about it. or do you want me to report it to the cashier and let him see the president?'
 ..I had cold ehilIs and collapse and lot more things during the next five minutes, and then mustered up eour- age and went to my father with the story. He promptly reduced me to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent and I learned a whole lot in the next six months, by which time we had the old fellow all right, and was made assistant again. but wasn't the same kind of one by a good deal"
