Congressman Henderson and Senator
Allison have both declared ON the stump
In Iowa their belief that the next Con-
gress will pass gold standard act. OF
course such legislation would be merely
the recognition of an existing condition,
and would not change anything. Yet 1t
would not be superhuous; for 1t would
place another obstacle in the way of the
silver forces. just now of course there is
no danger from the silver men, bat they
have not abandoned the cause and are
only waiting for favorable conditions to
renew the agitation. Hence every obsta-
Gle put in their way now is safeguard

The uproar which some of the Demo.
cratic newspapers are making because
President Mckinley has not effusiyely
rendered his services as mediator between
the British and the Beers is for the most
part insincsre. Possibly some of them
may be moved by sympathy for the Beers,
but the vast majority are simply looking
after the Irish vote. There Is no more
likelihood OF England's accepting media
ton from the United States in the Trans
vaal than of our accepting the good offices
OF England In the Philippines. England
claims a suzsrainty over the Transyaal
as we do over the Philippines, and does
not admit that the Beers constitute an
independent nation which stands on equal
footing as to rights with her.

the Spanish flag. These are the men
who fear the strenuous life, who fear
the only national life which is really
worth leading. They believe in that
clustered life which saps the hardy
virtues in a nation as it saps them in
the individual; or else they are we'd
ded to that base spirit of gain and
greed which recognises in commerce
ialism the be-all and end-all of
national life,instead of realizing that,
though an indispensable element, it
is, after, but one of many elements
that go to make up true national
greatness"
OUR GOAL.
II preach to you, then, my countrYr
men, that our country calls not for
the life of ease, but for the life of
strenuous endeavor. The twentieth
century looms before US big with the
fate of many nations. If we stand
idly by, if we seek merely swollen,
s1othful ease. and ignoble peace, if
we shrink from the hard contests
where men must win at hazard of
their lives and at risk of all they hold
dear, then the holder and stronger
peoples will pass us by and will win
for themselves the domination of the
world. Let us, therefore, boldly face
the life of strife, resolute to do our
duty well and manfully; resolute to
uphold righteousness by deed and by
word; resolute to be both honest and
brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use.
practical methods. Above all, let us
shrink from no strife, moral or phys.
ical, within or without the nation,
provided we are certain that the
strife is justified, for it is only
through strife, through hard and dan
gerous endeavor, that we shall ulti-
mately win the goal of true national
greatness"

Use OF WARsHIPs:-Here is an ofGc
ial communication received by the
Department of State from the United
States minister to Venezuela, which
should be carefully read by those
who grumble about the expense of
keeping United States warships in
foreign waters. It relates to the re-
cent visit of the U. S. S. Wilmington
to the ports on the northern coast
of Venezuela. "The splendid condi-
ton and appearance of theImen and
the boat" writes the minister, never
failed to call forthspraise from those
who saw them. AS result kof the
trip, | think it will be found that
American prestige has been .substant-
tally augmented, and the idea of
American power and resources, vital
lied by the war, enormously deep
ened and widened. Practical results
are coming, too, in the....way of in
creased commerce with the United
States, and if our merchants and
manufacturers will take advantage Of
the favorable conditions that have
been created for them, they ought TO
profit very largely"

GEN. ARTHUR MACARTHUR.

In the aggressive campaign in the
Philippines, Maj. Gen. Arthur Mac
Arthur has attracted good deal Aof
attention by his persistence and
bravery, and by the effective work
done by his division. He was a
lieutenant colonel in the army when
the war was declared, and was on
duty in the adjutant generals de-
partment. His elevationsto his pres
ent high rank was qualification to
his friends, who were sure he would
distinguish himself at the front: His
assignment to the Philippine cam
paign and the active influence he has
had, demonstrate the advantages sto
the army Of such officers as Gen.
Macarthur. 1t is said that his ex-
cellent work as commander of di-
vision of volunteers will win him pro-
motion to the command of division
or at least brigade -ofssregulars.
He is not graduate-of West Point,
his position in the regular army hav-
ing been obtained through bravery
in the Civil war. Congress awarded
him medal for bravery in that con-
fiict, and he is prominent smember
of the Society of the United States
Military Medal of Honor. He is a
man of strong character, and is popu-
lar in army circles.

EDITORS have influence only as the
thoughts which they express are the
thoughts of large number of people

is the business of a newspaper to re-
fleet the opinion of the people on any

wrong to labor to correct it. But a
paper whose policy is changed with
every gust of gossip Or furry of pub

EVER since the bill authorizing
twelve new warships became a law
there has been good natured but

various states and cities, to give their
names to the new ships. The law
provides that battleships and armored
cruisers shall be named after states,
and cruisers after cities. After con-
sulting with Secretary Long, Presi-
dent Mckinley announced the follow
