The editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, in
an interview at Chicago, said that
m~oneyhood from the east and
manhood from the west; that the east
is the curb rein and the west is the
spur, and that progress out Of
the west. That is flattering to the west,
but not to the intelligence of the editor
of the Brooklyn Eagle. 1t is about time
that people understand hat there is no
difference whatever between the men
and women of the east and those Of the
west except a difference of surround
ings. They are mostly Americans, with
the same ambitions, the same limita-
lions and the same idiosyncrasies.
There are as many m~illionaires on Cas-
cade avenue, Colorado Springs, as there
are on the same length of street in New
York City, and there are the same
number of fools, Aguinaldos, honest
men and good women per thousand in
California as there are in New York.
All this talk of the Eagle editor that
the people of the west are sentimental,
while the people of the east are practi-
cal, Is all nonsense. The United States
is one nation, has one flag, and is in
habited by one people.

The new chief justice in Samoa has
raised the kings salary from $50 per
month to $3.50. The German consul
thought that $50 was all the ruler was
worth. But the chief justice did right.
The time has come when admirals
sneer at barefooted kings. The poor
fellows will have to wear clothes while
the commission of three countries is
there settling the future of the island
kingdom, And when they depart the
sovereign can never be sur that an
American tourist steamer is not going
to put in there, now that this country
is taking an interest in the lands of the
Pacific. And it would never do for the
hero seekers to find his kingship prom
enading on the beach in a breechclout.
1t is now the penalty of royalty to wear
clothes.

Admirers of Admiral Dewey are pro-
posing to build a palace in Washington
for him, and to make him a present of
$3.50, 900. The admiral has no use for a
palace in Washington, for he will have
a floating palace always at his COM
mand; also a handsome salary and a
pretty good fortune from prize money.
He has no family, and no use for a for
tune with which to bother. If he will
get a wife the government will gladly
take care of the widow after the adj
miral passes away. He should add to
his glory by telling the generous peo-
pie that he has had sufficient reward
for his deed in winning promotion and
the admiration of his countrymen, and
if they wish to be rid of their money tC
apply it to a hospital service for ma

Well, now expansion must be aban-

forty citizens calls for a mass meeting
to denounce Imperialism. Says the
proclamation: This republic can not
continue to exist as a republic if it's
armies are used to fasten shackles up
on a people st ruggling for liberty"
Well, now, did anybody assert that it
could? But who is fastening shackles
on a people struggling for liberty"
Did not the American government
within a year wage a holy war to free
a people in the Atlantic, and is it likely
that the same administration, the same
people and the same troops are now
seeking to shackle a race on the Pa
ciic? Some people at Ell Paso lie awake
nights to find some cause to kick
against the government.

Thomas Jefferson was the author of
the following: The honest payment of
our debts and sacred preservation of
the public faith. No national creditor
shall be forced to accept a deprecated
currency, and the words of a public OBJ
legation shall be interpreted rather
against ourselves, in order that no
shadow of dishonor shall fall upon the
nation. Honor, honesty and economy
have been the watchwords of the De-
mocracy; honor, honesty and economy
in public and in private life: love of
liberty and respect for universal man.

Some one had better take charge of
Nikola Tesla before he goes to the sum-
nit of Pixies Peak to do mischief. Ac-
cording to his theory, at the height of
about four miles electric power can be
transmitted by the air, but dire results
may follow when an electric force of a
few million volts is discharged. He
says it may excite powerful affinities in
the air, nitrogen causing it to combine
readily with the oxygen and other ele-
ments, and the action become so power
full as to ignite the atmosphere. If some
morning the residents of this mundane
sphere should be awakened by a crack
ling, awe-inspiring sound, should see
lightning dart in every direction and
columns of flames shooting from the
sky to the earth, it will not be because
the millennium is being ushered in, but
because Nikola Tesla, the Hungarian,
will be making a trivial experiment in
wireless biography on Pixies Peak.
