The Origin or Mint Juleps.

The press agent of road house
near Covington. Kv., is sending
out a story that the Mint Julep was
born there in the presence and Tor
the delectation Of John G. Carlisle
and J. S. {. Blackburn,
This is a fiction which a con-
scientious newspaper cannot per-
nit TO iasten itself upon ignorant
minds. 1t is perversion Of his.
tory. 1t represents as a merely
modern invention an institution Of
the South dating back to 'the good
old colony times"
In one OF his books the historian
McMaster quotes from the diary
OF an Englishman who travelled in
Virginia early in the eighteenth
century and printed his impress
sions. Even his uncultivated and
prejudiced English palate could
not criticisr the Mint Julep's dainty
delicIousness. but he did criticise
the Virginians Of that ancient time
tor imbibing too many Of those
seductive concoCtions.
Thus history itself records that
the Mint JuIep was a cherished
adiunctof Virginia lie before ever
Washington was born, and there
is absolutely no proof that John
Smith did not win the clemency Of
Powhatan BY constructing a Mint
Ju ep for him on the morning ap-
pointed tor the great adventurer's
execution. The theory is vastly
more probable than the Pocahon.
tas story, Tor the Indian Emperor
would pretty certainly nave
spanked his daughter had she in
teriered as reported, but even the
most bloodthirsty savage would
have soitened his heart under the
benlgh persuaslveness Of a Mint
Julep.
But why 60 further with this
historical inquiry The press
agent has as it were given him
self away" For he tells US that
the compounder Of the first Mint
Julep gently bruised the mint"

The Washlngton star,

which owes much Of its progress
and riches TO the support OF its
German advertisers, and originally
to Boss Shepherd, is one Of the
meanest Know-NothIng imperial
istic "Anglo-Saxon" papers in the
country. Every day there are
editorials and squibs against the
Germans in the Star. The mean
est lies against them are published
without any correction afterwards.
Last Saturday it took notice OF
the German-American protests
against Anglo-Saxon imperialism
from Canton, the home Of the Pres
ident. 1t consoled the latter, how
ever, on the ground that the Ger
mans are against silver, and hence,
no matter what Mckinley might
do, the word silver used by the
Democrats would keep them
always in the Republican ranks,
This being the case it was not
necessary to stop maltreating and
abusing the Germans, because
their anti silver policy had en-
shaved them completely. Gold
was more valuable to them than
liberty and honor. That was about
the substance OF the Star editorial.
On Tuesday following the Star
had another editorial. An obscure
Frenchman had published some
nonsense and now the Star pre-
diets, If the imperialistic policy
should be defeated, the Union
would break up, and "khe coHcf0-
kyzti0H At CeymaHS fH He N0ytheyN
States zyiH form q German Empire,
covering all the great west to the
Rocky mountains, and as far east
as the Ohio and the eastern limits
OF the Great Lakes"
Washington, however, was pru-
IDENTIFY retained by the Star, be-
cause it cannot do without the
large advertisements of the Ger
man merchants, and so the capt
tai has been saved. But will
Washington be safer Will the
Germans not run away with it also2

kindly and iraternally demonstrated
with on the subject.
Furthermore, in case any church shall
disregard this advice OF the association
our fellowship shall be Withdrawn from
such church.
We now tell the Dover Baptist
Association that this un-Chrlstian
act of theirs will be a boomerang
to the members Of that Association.
Not one Of them shall ever be
elected to a political office. An
organization must take hold OF
the personal liberty element all
over the country. 1t may also
work in behalf OF Christ, who not
merely drank, but made wine at
the wedding of Cana, and who, II
alive now, would be ousted from
the Dover Baptist Association
He would also be denounced by
them as a friend OF the publican
and sinners.
The people who sell and consume
liquors pay over S2oo,ooo'o 900
taxes annually. Without those
taxes the Government would be
bankrupt To refuse membership
to those taxpayers is reputation,
and, therefore, those Baptists are
really reyolutionists who want to
ruin the Government.

New Tran srer system.

The new transfer system adopted for
all the lines ofthe Washington Traction
Company went into effect last Sunday
morning, and passengers on the various
divisions OF the syndicate's roads paid
one fare for transportation which, in
many instances, has heretofore cost
them two fares. Anywhere within the
District limit it was possible to obtain a
continuous passage for a single ticket.
Free transfers we're given between the
Metropolitan and the Brightw ood avenue
lines at Florida avenue and at 37nd and
TennallytUwn and the Great Falls roads,
respectively. Thus, citizens were enabled
TO travel from Brightwood to Athletic
Park, a distance of fully ten miles, for
less than S cents.
Similar transfers were issued between
the Metropol tan and the Anacostia
lines al Mary land avenue and -Four and
a half street. thus enabling the traveller
to reach Congress Heights for but one
fare. The Metropolitan also issued
transfers at 9Th and D streets. The
usual transfers were issued at New York
avenue and 9th street. Only outside the
District line was an extra fare charged,
and according To the system Inaugur-
ated, only a cash fare was accepted.
Beyond the District lines the city tickets
are not available. This extra cent on
each fare in Maryland, it IS said, will net
the company many thousands Of dollars
during the course ofd year.

Dewey.

The Secretary OF the Agricul-

alton and lack OF onsideration for
truth, writes that Dewey in a dav
gave us an archipelago" No,
Dewey did not give us an archi-
peiago in a day, nor has he given
US one at all. Dewey won US a
great victory in a day, but he had
to invoke the assistance OF Aguin-
aldo tor months afterwards IN the
military occupation ol the archi
pelag in opposition to the Spanish
forces. 1t was not Dewey who sad
died this unfortunate Philippine
war upon us. This colossal ele-
phant, the responsibility for which
has caused US to pile up noun

making. This is one Of the things
of which we are glad it cannot be

Church Against Liquor.

The Dover Baptist Association,
at Richmond, Va, last Thurs day,
put itself on record against allow
ing wholesale or retail dealers in
liquor to hold membership in
Baptist Churches. The effect Of
the resolution NAV be to cause
some OF the largest churches in
that city either to turn out some Of
their leading members or withdraw
from the association. The matter
came up in the form Of report
from a committee, composed OF
Revs. John Pollard, ID. G, +.
Williams, and r. B. Collier. The
two first named signed the report
which urges the churches "to keep
themselves clean from all fellow
ship with a trade out Of which
spring poverty, ignorance, misery,
and a trade out Of which spring
misery and death" and appeals to
the members to refrain conscieu-
tiously from the use Of intoxiCat-
ing liquors as a beverage. Rev.
Mr.. Collier did not think the re
port went far enough, and offered
the following substitute, which,
after an animated discussion was
adopted:
Whereas the Constitution Of the
Dover association permits the with.
drawal Of lellOwships from such church
or churches as may become corrupt in
doctrine or practice.
Resolved, That this association hereby
advise each church to withdraw from
such members as persist IN the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors, either by retail or
wholesale, after they shall have been

eleven months it has been S27o,-

Secretary AIger's Resignation.

Secretary Alger's Resignation.
Secretary of War Alger has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect
at the pleasure OF the President.
OF course, Mr.. Mckinley will ac-
cent the resignation. Secretary
Alger, he may think, will make
very convenient scaPegoat tor the
sins Of omission and commission
IN which the Administration has
abounded. The Secretary will, ac-
cordingly, retire, and stand not
upon the order Of his going. 1t
is very proper that he should re-
sign. For the past twelve months
there has been a general demand
for his retirement, but he has lg-
nored or de6ed it. President Nc
kinney is responsible Tor every day
that he remained in control of the
War Department alter his lncom-
potency became apparent. If the
President did not ieel that his own
political prospects were being in
iured by the retention oi Mr. Alger
in the Cabinet, the latter would
probably serve out his term. His
retirement now, under eompulsion,
while a matter Of public congrat
ulation, will not relieve Mr.. Nc
Klnley oi any OF the odium which
attaches to his Administration.
He is as responsible ioT the con-
duct Of the War Department as
Mr., Alger. He has known how
that department was admins
tered, and nothing has been done
without his sanction. The retire
ment Of Alger, therefore, will IN no
measure be an expiation OF the
sins OF the Administration.
Algerism is merely a symptom.
The real seat OF the trouble is at
the White House and the inAuen-
ces which surround it and whi5h
have peryaded every department
of the Government. TIE policy
Of the Administrator since the
war with Spain has been an evil
one. It has led 10 a war Of con
quest in the Philippines against a
people vho were fighting for their
| independence 1t has resulted in
a departure from principles which
are cherished by the great mass
OF the American people. 1t has
| placed The army and the navy and
the resources OF the Government
at the disposal OF a few interests
influenced by sinister motives. 1t
has lowered this country IN the
opinion Of thoughtful people
abroad as we'll as at home. As
Professor Lombroso, the Italian
writer, well says 1T would augur
we'll it, having set one people free,
the Americans had retrained from
girding on the sword to force an
other into slavery" Professor
Lombroso does not understand
that Mr.. Mckinley is acting in de-
fiance Of the best sentiment in the
United States. He does not know
that the policy OF the Government
is not the policy oi the people, and
that they yiel1 only a reluctant
consent. Mr.. Mckinley cannot
evade the responsibility which he
voluntarily assumed when he ne
gotiated the purchase Of the Phil
Ippines and initiated the war Of
conquest. Alger's retirement will
not give him a clean record, and
the Secretary cannot be made the
scapegoat tor the Administration,
1t is we'll that he is out of the way
at last, but he cannot shit the bur
den from Mr.. Mckinley even if he
desired, and it is very doubtful
that he would if he could.

Attention, Democrats'

Something should be done to
protect laborers and employees
against the arbitrary trust and cor
poration tyranny and desPotism.
Strikes, the last resort Of the down
trodden masses, are OF no avail and
furnish in most cases no relief
The millionaire trusts FIX wages at
hunger prices and extend working
hours ad k5iht5z. No court, no
government furnishes help. Ar1i-
trauon is a farce. The despera-
ton OF our suffering laboring
classes will necessarily lead to
,oloodshed and misery. We must
prevent it.
Let Congress find some author
iry to protect labor and force the
trusts to do the fair thing to the
poor and helpless. Our land will
be ruined when the money power
can do with the working men what
ever they think proper,
There must be something done
to prevent the arbitrary exercise
Of power against the poor bY the
ruling classes. When people are
forced to strikes, somebody should
have power to arbitrate the exist
ing difficulties, when both sides
may be heard and then matters
adjusted. Let our Democrats
place themselves in readiness to
find some means, some legislation
to step between the cOntendlng
parties, that fair living wages may
be paid according to circumstan-
ces. Investigations must be had
for instance to find out why wages
must be lowered and working
hours extended merely to increase
the profits Of the rich.
Democrats! take hold Of this
question and rescue them, and the
masses of the people will flock 20
your standard,
Some years ago there was
strike in Germany among the
Westphalia coal miners. The oP-
orators wanted to reduce wages,
and, AFRAID OF the miners, asked for
military protecu-n. Now there
are a great many soldiers in Ger
many, IN fact a great many more
than in America. Some thousands
could easily be sent, as in Halle
ton and other places in America,
to shoot down the strikers,
But what did the German Gov
ernment do? Did it send The sol
diers to shoot down the strikers,
and assist the mine owners to in
crease their profits by lowering the
wages Of the men2
No, the German EMPEROR did no
such thing. He selected some
high officials, not soldiers, all ex-
perts, who compelled the mine
owners to show their books. After
examining those books carefully
and calculating the expenditures
and income Of the mine owners,
those officials found that the pro-
fits were ample to pay the old
wages without any reduction, and
the mine owners we're told that
they could not have any soldiers.
This Of course restored peace at
once and no reduction Of wages
took place. Nor has an attempt
been made ever since to disturb the
harmony between the owners and
their employees. Why should we
not have such system in American
Why is there no barrier against
the eucroachments and despotism
OF the American employers
against their laborets2
