TROUBLE FOR MIR. M,KINLEY.

The President and the Secretary OF
State must have experienced feeling OF
uneasiness, IL not OF alarm, when they
read the speech Of Mr.. Edward Lauter-
bach delivered in the Manhattan Hotel In
Thursday night the occasion being the
meeting OF the committee appointed to ar
range for the reception of the Boer en-
voys In the course OF his speech Mr..
Lauterbach said: IT believe the Republi-
can party is irretrtevably lost IL 1t leave
to the Democratic party the first oppor-
tunity to insert In its national platform
a plank that will declare for the South
African Republic"
Mr. Lauterbach is one of the Republi-
can leaders of the state of New York He
is delegate to the Republican National
Convention, and he announced in his
speech that it was his intention to try
to have an expression of sympathy for
the Beers put into the Republican plat
form. It is probable that he will not have
10 try very hard. If the Republican
leaders believe that sympathy for the
Beers is popular they will not hesitate to
utilize it for political purposes.
The Populists put pro-Boer plank in
their platform and the Democratic party
will do the same thing. If all the political
parties have expressions of sympathy for
the Beers in their platforms the people
Will hear great deal about the Beers
during the presidential campaign. In fact,
they may hear so much that If the South
Africa war is not ended before next De-
cember public sentiment may compel Con-
gress to take action of some kind in be-
half of the South African Republics.
The agitation in behalf OF Cuba was
begun just about as the agitation in the
case of the Beers is beginning. II took
long while 10 create a public sentiment
that demanded the expulsion OF the Span
iards from that island. 1t might take a
very little while to bring about interven-
ton in the South African war. There is
undoubtedly a very strong feeling now
that this country ought to lend the strug-
Cling Beers a helping hand. Efforts have
been made during the last few weeks to
get resolutions of sympathy adopted by
Congress, but, owing to Republican oppo-
sItion, without success. This opposition
may not be due to friendship for England
or lack of sympathy for the Beers but to
desire to keep down opposition to the
Philippine policy of the Republican party
Our government is engaged in establish
ing its rule in the Philippines against the
will of the people there just as Great Bril-
tain is trying to establish her rule in the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Be-
sides. if this country interferes in South
Africa Great Britain may try and make
it unpleasant for us in the Philippines.
Political parties, however can put reso-
lutions of sympathy in their platforms
without straining our relations with other
countries. There will be no trouble in get
ting such resolutions adopted by political
conventions

THE KAIsER,s MoUsTACHE.

An item of news that will interest oil
of the Powers and principalities was con-
veyed in the Berlin dispatches of few
days ago. 1t had to do with the points
of the Kaisers moustache upon which
the fate of nations may hang. 1t was
stated that the imperial upper lip is no
longer adorned by the famous fierce and
militant moustache with points standing
straight towards the outer corners of the
eyes but that the points had been de-
pressed to an angle of forty-five degrees.
All experts in reading character from
personal appearance know that the hir-
suite adornment of a face is to con-
siderable extent an index of the mind.
Not a particle of surprise was expressed
or felt, therefore, when the Kaiser's NOUS
tache took that truculent turn towards
the zenith. Having in him the blood ami
spirit of fighters 1t was but natural that
he should be a war lord with a mailed
fist, and that his nnoustache should stand
at attention" The attitude of that
moustache has been a constant warning
to France to keep her guns shotted and
her powder dry, and not to let her mind
dwell too fondiy upon Alsace-Lorraine.
In the signal code of moustaches, that Of
the Kaiser spelled 'militairism," and
everybody knew it,
Now, however. the points OF It have
been depressed 20 forty-flve degrees.
What does 1t mean? Is It a concession
to diplomacy that is indicated? There Is
a story ahoat that the change in style
was made because the Kaisers barber had
grown impudent and was trading upon
his alleged friendly relations with his inn
perial master. But that sounds very
much like a court story. Is it likely that
an emperor would recognize a barber to
so great an extent? 1t is much more
like the needle of a barometer, have
moved to indicate some impending new
condition in the political atmosphere. Is
1t fair weather or foul that they
have moved TO? There are several specks
of clouds upon the German political nor
lion which may develop squaNy weather;
but we are inclined to the opinion that
the lowering of the points of the NOUS
| tache is a favorable representation, cal
culated to abate any suspicion which may
have existed that Germany has Interior
| designs upon our Monroe Doctrine through
the securing OF German dependencies in
Brazil and Argentina. Still 1t must be adj
mitted that there remains a suggestion OF
nIilitairism In the moustache. A forty
FIVE degrees elevation is suggestive OF
many possibilities.

THE SERVANT GIaL PRoBLEM.

The Rev. Dr. Sheldon of Topeka, Kan
sas, wrote a wonderfully successful story
entitled. I'm His Steps" He also made
81. 900 in one week editing the Topeka Cap
ital. He has some reason, therefore, for
thinking that he can solve the servant girl
problem.
He has announced that he is going to
write a story. the motive of which, he
says, is to give dignity to kitchen labor"
If he can write a story that will make the
average wage earning girl believe that 1t
is Just as dignified and respectable to do
kitchen and chamber work. as IL Is to
be an employe in a store or telephone ex-
change, he will render a service to this
age and generation so great that it will
be impossible to give an idea of the ex-
tent OF 1t.
There are thousands of girls in every
part of the country-they are in the cities
and in the rural districts-who would be
ever so much happier and better off from
worldly point of view, If they were en-
ployed as domestic servants. or in other
words, il they were hired girls" They
are on the verge of want all the time and
they have not sufficient money to clothe
themselves decenty. They are willing to
teach school, TO work in a store or in
factory; in fact to do almost anything ex-
cept such work as is required of a SER
want girl. And yet a girl will cook and
sweep and scrub and wash dishes in tho
home of her parents as readily as she
will do any other kind of work. In her
own home she does not feel 1T beneath her
dignity to do kitchen work, but she re-
CARDS It a deep disgrace to do it in the
home of a stranger for wages.
The problem which Dr. Sheldon is going
to try to solve, is to make people think
that II is just as respectable and dignifed
to be kitchen girl as it is to be a sales
girl or telephone girl. 1t is to be hoped
he will succeed. If he does, house wives
will be provided, in all probability. with
more efficient class of servants, and tens
of thousands of weary. badly nourished,
poorly clothed wage-earning girls will
have more comfortable homes. 1t will not
be surprising, however. II DR.. DR. Sheldon
fails In his undertaking.

Bingen on the Rhine.

From the Wine and Spirits Bulletin
A soldier of the legion was reeling
through Algiers,
And tearing up the atmosphere with wild
Teutonic cheers.
An officer espied him, and straightway
to him strobe,
And envyingly asked him the nature of
his load.
The drunken soldier faltered as he leaned
against a tree,
And said, Five quarts of good Rhine
wine I slowed away in me-"
And then he gasped, with Old Tom Gin
1 followed UP the wine"
And so It must have been gin. have been

A Pennsylvania boy. at present in the
Philippines, serving with the Seventeenth
Infantry, will remember Gen. Joseph
Wheeler gratefully as long as he lives.
The young fellow was in Wheeler's divis-
ion In the campaign about Panique. One
day ne was severely wounded in the knee
Marching orders were given, and the
young Pennsylvanlan hmped along as
best he could. Finally when II seemed
that he must faN from weakness and pain
and be left behind probably to die-there
was no ambulance or other transport
Gen. Wheeler rode up. Seeing the wound
ed boys condition, the General dismounted
and placed him upon his horse then the
gray-headed leader trudged ahead knee
deep through the swamp nine miles to
Camaling where he saw that the wound
ed private received attention. The Penn
sylvanian did not have words enough to
express his admira lion for the old Tex
confed' when he wrote to his mother of
the incident.

Philadelphia Press wants John w. Gates
punished because he chose a most inop-
perfume time for his operations. All trust
promoters sh ud suspend work until af-
ter the election"
The st. Louis Republic (Dem) says:
IAN patriotic Americans who were in
sympathy with the spirit that compelled
the war with Spain for the liberation of
Cuba will hope and pray that there shall
NOT now be witnessed a Cuban revolution
for the freeing of the island from Amer
lean rule. Such a development would play
directly into the hands of the hungry
American syndicates and will give the
excuse for the grabbing of their island
VIII ch the syndicates have Icing been walt
iug."
Discussing the shortage in the Havana
postoffce the New York World (Dem.)
says: "Neelys case is symptomatic. Mr.
McI<inleys administration is, so far as 1t
can be under the merit system, spells
administration. IL is the only administra-
ton of the last seventeen years which
has injured and abridged the merit sys-

The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
According to the fusion Populists, in ses-
sion at Sioux Falls, the treaty with Spain
is a GOOD treaty as regards Porto Rico
and we must hold on to tie island, but is
a bad treaty as regards the Philippines
and we must not retain the results of
Dewey's victory. This is consistency for
you with vengeance. Yet these fusion

SALISBURY CRITICISED.

The criticisms of the speech of Lcrd Sal
isbury, the English Premier. at the Prim-
rose League continues to be the subject
of comment In the English papsrs. He
has the reputation Of being very tactful,
but it is admitted by his greatest admirers
that a more tactless speech than the ons
in question was never delivered by
prominent public man. The Queen had
only recently returned from Ireland,
where she went 10 show her appreciation
of the loyalty and heroism of the Irish sol
diers in South Africa And yet Lord Sal
isbury gratultously insulted the Irish peo-
pie by intimating that If Mr.. Gladstone's
policy in respect to ireland had prevailed
the same result might have followed there
as has followed the adoption Of his policy
in South Africa. He said I'VE now know
better than we did ten years ago what
risk 1t would be il we gave a dis,oyal gov
eminent in ireland the power of collect
ing forces against this country" The
English papers think that Lord Salisbury
might have taken a more propitious time
for saying that home rule would not be
granted to ireland because England might
have the same experience with her as she
is now having with the Transvaal republic.
Postmaster General Smith finds himseh
in a rather embarrassing position. In an
deliberately illustrated and well-written
article, published in a recent edition OF
Golfers Weekly, the Postmaster General
told how the mails follow the flag" in
stancug Cuba in illustration. He did not
say so in so many words, but the infer
ence was that he intended it to be un-
derstood that his department was entitled
to a great deal of credit for what had
been accomplished by the postoffice IN
Cuba. Now, however the scandal in the
Havana office comes up, and Mr. Smith
would like to have ii understood that the
management of the affairs of Cuba, mails
included, is in the hands of the war de-
partment and that his department has
nothing to do with it,
