The defeat OF the bill to give all persons
honorably discharged from the army and
navy preference over anybody else in en-
tsrinR the public service, is to be COM

would strike at the very foun-
dalton of civil service reform. 1t would
be tsntamount to declaration that not
fitness, but ssrvice In the army and navy,

selections for public office. Far

1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Crumpaoker

minority report in favor of enforcing the
Fourteenth amendment against the

WHILE the rules governing in such
cases may have justified the court oil
claims In awarding Admiral Sampson
first prize money as commander Of the
feet and for having taken part in the
naval battle that resulted in the destruc.

country will continue to give Admiral
Schley the credit for that brilliant VIC
tory. In all justice he should be awarded
first prize money and receive credit for
having destroyed the Spanish feet; bot
Sampson. with the New York twenty
miles away, was marked by the court as
the hero OF the day. Besides finding
that he Was in command during the bat
tie the court declares that the New York
was among the vessels engaged. Every
ten-year-Old school boy in the land
knows this TO be false. The court went
out OF it's way in an attempt to honor
Sampson where the honor belongs 70

rendered their verdict on that question
and all Of the prejudiced courts in the
country could not change it. Was it
SamPson or was it Schlsy?

EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

The same spirit Of commereialism that
10 back Of the war now heing wased
ayainat the Filipinos by this country
ought to lie sufficient Justification for a
general European war over China, and
it is the real motive behind the big war
cloud that now looms up in the Orient.
1t is true that the Chinese Boxers"
need to Be suppressed, and their muir
derous acts have furnished the pretext
for division Of the Chinese empire
among the European nations. Yet il is
doubtful il this can be accomplished
short OF . war that will involve every
important European nation, an emer.
gency for which these countries have
been preparing for the past quarter of q
century. Such war will bring more
prosperity, more riches, to the United
States than she has ever before known,
and from a purely selfish, commercial
view Of the matter-the view many take
OF the Philippine question-we should
encourage and welcome such q war.
What matters few million lives ard as
many more widows and orphans among
Europeans, Chinese and Filipinos, if We
can thereby extend our commerce and
bring dollars to the pockets Of our trusts ?
Right or wrong, the partition OF China
is near at hand and the boxer" troubles
will precipitAte the crisis sooner than
expected. Europe il on the verge OF
big war and it will require the coolest
kind Of diplomacy TO prevent a rupture.

from the Filipinos shows that their re-
public is not so dead as the imperialists
would have Us believe. The latest in this
line is financial statement showing that
