consequence of this tntimation that ;heir

be drawn from these developments is that
the members Of the former Hcureaux gov

able the masters to obtain a maximum
amount of physical labor out of the freight
handlers and other helpers. The law re-
quires each passenger carrying vessel to be
equipped with lifeboats and life preservers,
but it is known that there is great laxity
in the training of the crews for the emer-
gencies which demand the use of these ap-
pliances. In the case of the Nutmeg State
the crews showed great ignorance about
lowering the boats and the disaster was
partly due to that fact
But the worst peril in such cases is from
the brutal conduct of the crew The Nut
meg states fate was marked by much the
same disorder and riOting as that which
doubled the horrors of the sinking of the
Rnurgogne. Boats were overloaded and
then swamped by the addition of the weight
of the steamers men. There seemed to be
no discipline whatever on board It was
case of save who can" Unfortunately
there is direct remedy to correct such a
state of affairs. for the law cannot well in
tervene TO punish a man for trying to save
his own life. even though in so doing he i'm
periis that of another. At the same time
the taking of passengers upon steamer
involves a guarantee by the company that
it will provide all the necessary human as
wen as lnecndHlCdt safeguards against us
aSter. The officers and the crew of the
boat thus assume a responsibility which
should lead them to sacrifice their own
chances in order to help their charges.
The annals Of marine disasters glow with
accounts of heroic conduct on sinking and
burning ships. 1t is thrilling to read the
stories of personal sacrifices in such times
of danger. They show that with the proper
care in the selection of the men who man.
age the ships the peril of the passengers
may always be reduced to the minimum.
But it may confidently be asserted that not
one sound or river passenger boat out
of a hundred is there a fire wreck drill
or any other method of maintaining dis
Cipline. nor are there Drecauuon In the en-
gaging of the crew to choose only men of
character and reliability. These items are
just vitally important as the condition
of the hull or the engine, and although the
law may find its arm too short to reach
thus far in forcing steamboat owners to
engage only men who will stand such tests,
public opinion may find way to put ban
upon those boats and those lines which
neglect the item of the crews discipline
and bravery.

Commenting the other day on a cable
report that brigade composed of Irish
men living in the Transvaal had taken the
field for the Beers, The Star expressed the
opinion that 1t was very poor business
for lrishmen to be engaged in. Since then
the story has been denied, and the news
IS now conveyed that the hoisting of the
Irish flag was d trick. and that very few
of that nationality in the Transvaal
have signifed any intention of assisting
the Beers. If this latter story is true good
for the Irish of South Africa! They are
considerably more level of head about the
duty of Irishmen at this time than some
of their compatriots who reside in the
United States seem TO be.
The story of ireland is one of the saddest
ir all history All reading people are ia
nliliar with it. The people of the United
States are not only familiar with it, but
moved by it, have always deeply sympa-
thized with Ireland. They would be glad
today to see Ireland in the enjoyment of
an infinitely better government than is
now established there. They believe that
by the liberalization of the government
of Ireland the people of England would
benefit nearly if not quite as much as the
people of Ireland. But the practical ques-
about?
a corr espondent of The Star declared the
other day that all parliamentary agita-
ton to this much-desired end, down to and
including the superb efforts of ParneH,
had failed. But was not that an extreme
statement? Progress has been all too slow
but progress has been made. Consider the
conversion of Mr.. Gladstone. The only
regret attaching to that is that 1t came
too late. Had Mr. Gladstone become the
champion of Ireland twenty years earlier,
when he was at the meridian of his splen-
did powers, he would in all probability
have won his fight. But more time was
required than his years allowed, and Mr..
PaTneIrs deplOrabe social slip and
timely death came as the crOwning mis-
fortune of what for a time was a brilliant
campaign. But the comforting fact is that
Mr.. Gladstone was at last converted. Jo-
seph Chamberlain is now the bette noir Of
lrishmen. But it is well to remember that
at Mr.. Chamberlain's age and with twice
his parliamentary experience and influence
MIR. Gladstone favored and carried out a
sitter policy toward Ireland than any that
has since been known.
Should physical force be resorted to in
IreIand's behalf? Should Irishmen seize
any and all opportunities to aid the armed
enemies of England? In particular. would
they be glad to see Dom Paul suppiant
Queen Victoria? Is the condition of the
Irishman in the Transvaal, with respect
to political rights and privileges, an allur
ing impI ovement on the condition of the
Irishman in Ireland?
Ireland is a part of the British Empire
and will remain so. She is Joined to it
for better for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health" The union
has not been a happy one, but divorce is
impossible. and peace is not to be secured
through the use of fiat irons or rolling pins
or by aiding and abetttng outsiders in their

cross the Ohio river and give three days
to the cause of John r. Mclean. And In that
state also the popular belief is that he will
be taking chances. Mr.. Mclean is as ar
dently for silver as Mr.. Bryan, although in
this campaign. for prudential reasons. he is
making no stir about It, He likewise is en-
rolled among those who desire Mr.. Bryan s

The opinion obtains that he has an eye on
his partys national leadership himself, and
will play for it if the cards come his way
next month Mr.. Bryan has been warned
of this, but apparently he has put the
warning aside. AS in the case of Mr.. Goe-
bel. he has decided to take all risks with
Mr.. Mclean and to trust to luck.
Changing the figure of speech from the
golden rule to the rule of chance, Mr.. Bry-
an follows the rule in making these plays.
Risk nothing, win nothing, is an axiom
never out of the consideration of those
who play for high stakes, He is playing for
denomination. He must play with boldness
and confidence. He cannot afford to hest
tate, or to study his cards with deep lines
showing across his forehead or with too
great care. He must respond swiftly and
serenely to every demand, and he is doing
that. He would probably, if requested

The Flag Must BE Maintained.
From the Minneapolis Times

At all events, and leaving the question of
expansion or anti-expansion for future dis
cussion and settlement, the American flag,
Old Glory, whose stars and stripes stand
for the greatest liberty and the most en-
hghtened civilization the world has ever
known must be maintained In the Philip
pines until its every assailant shall have
bowed In defeat. Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers who have dared to fire upon our fla g
must be whipped into complete and abso-
Lutte subjection. The Philippine question, as
1t is understood in it's broadest sense, is
open to argument, but no true American
can look his fellow citizen in the face and
affirm that the present situation can be re-
lieved except by the overwhelming force of
arms When the people of the Philippines
shall admit the sovereignty of the United
States then, and not until then will their
Independent self-government be a matter
of concern.

namely. that he is too much married The
one objection to his taking a seat in the
House of Representatives is that he is a
pelygamist, holding marital relations with
more than one woman. To that objection
Mr.. Roberts crnnot make any satisfactory
defense, and while that is the case the
