OF the many protests that have eeen
called forth by Senator Hanna's greedy
scheme for giving a bounty to the
Griscom line Of steamers and its attil-
lated concerns, that contained in re-
cent editorial Of the New York Evening
Post IS perhaps at once the most con-
else and most comprehensive. In its
usual incsive style The Post points
out how the bill evades its ostensible
object OF aiding the expectation Of
American products. which could OBJ
viously be best attained by making
the subsidy earned contingent on the
amount Of cargo carried, and how the
so called cargo amendment, intro
duced avowedly to accomplish this OBJ
ject, is a most transparent sham, be
cause OF the little Joker cOuta ned, al!
lowing a charter Of space by the year
to be substituted for the actual carry
ing Of cargo. Passing to the matter
OF wages, it shows how neatly the pro-
vision on its face designed TO insure
the employment OF Americans as sea-
men IS completely nulllded by the con-
dltlon that II Americans cannot
reasonably be obtained this pro-
vision Is to be waived. In other
words, IL they viii not compete at the
lowest current rate Of wages, the ship
owners who are being subsidized are
left free to exercise the right under
the revised statutes 90 engage their
crews In foreign ports for round
voyage, as the commissioner Of uayiga-
tlOn, one Of the advocates Of the bill,
has admitted that ii Is already their
practice to do now.

the most Objectionable features OF the
bill, 10y the way, as It makes its greatest

There are certain respects in which
extremes meet in Germany. Germans
are q progressive people on the whole
10 the commercial sense, for example,
they are among the most advanced
people in the world, But, all the same,
there are many relics of medieval times
clinging about them-suggestious Of the
chaotic days which preceded unihcatiou
The retention Of the Military Courts OF
Honor, and Of duelling, their logical
outcome is an instance OF this. II ou d
appear that even the Emperor, 20 whom
we have been iu the habit of considering
nothing impossible in the Fatherlaud, is
powerless to repress this relic Of feudal
times. Only a short time ago it was
reported that three young men OF
Cologne, on applying for appointment
as officers, had been rejected bv the
officers there, owing 20 their beiug, as
faithful Catholics. opposed to the prac-
tice of duellng. The incident has led
to an Interpolation in the Reichstag;
but for all the good that it will do the

The first general order issued by
the War Department in execution
of the provisions Of the army re-
organization act directs the dis
continuance OF the sale OF beer,
wine and Intoxicating liquors on
all military reservations and army
transports, The order was issued
Monday and is very terse and con-
else in its terms.
Section 38 of the act is repeated
in the order as follows:
THE sale Of, or dealing IN, beer, wine
or Intoxicating liquors, by any person in
any post exchange or canteen or army
transport or upon any premises used
for military purposes by the United
States, IS hereby prohibited. The
Secretary OF War is hereby directed to
carry the provisions Of this section into
full force and effect
he order then proceeds as iol-
lows:
Commanding officers will immed.
lately carry the provisions OF this law
INTO iull force and effect and will be
held strictly responsible that no excep.
tions or evaslons are permitted within
their respective jurisdictions"
All the existing regulations tor
the government Of post exchanges
are incorporated in the order, but
are amended in each instance so
as to meet the statutory prohioi.
ton against "beer, wine and in.
toxicating liquor"
Although the order makes no
special reference to the military
reservations at Fort Monroe, Va,
and w st Point, N. Y, it is stated
at the War Department that under
the terms OF the law it will be
necessary to discontinue the sale
OF all Intoxicating liquors on those
reservations as well as on other
"premises used for military pur-
poses," and that the bars in the
Chamberlin and Hygeia hotels at
Fort Monroe and in the hotel at
West Point will have to be closed
at once.

ion of Canada. 1t is a goodly land.
with a noble river and great lakes
and fertile soil. 1t has the same
relation to us that the TransVaal
has to Cape Colony. When Amer
leans 60 there they are treated as
foreigners, and their property is
taxed for the support of the Gov
ernment, some OF whose officials
have grown rich, and they are not
permitted to voc. The Canadian
method Of governmen, represents
a system Of belated civilization.
With ourresources we could d vel
op the country tenfold. We have
now twice as many people as Eng
land, and when a few years hence
we shall have FIVE times as many
andshall be robust in our strength,
and the temptation shall come
over US to annex Canada to our
empire, We will be able to turn to
the war in the Transvaal for every
needed excuse.
am one OF tn ose who believe,
continues Mr.. PennYpacker, the
American people acted wisely in
re electing Mr. Mckinley, I am
in sympathy with the thought rep
resented by his Administration,
that American influence is not to
be limited to mere geographical
lines or ocean shores, But now
strange it is that men of intelli-
gence should not be able to see
that il when we step out before the
world it be only to link our for
tunes with systems that are passing
away, and which we are called
upon to supplant, the movement
is a degradation, and not an ad-
vancement.
To our everlasting shame we
have permitted the report to go
abroad, and there has been none to
gainsav it, that the Government Of
the one great republic upon earth
is quietly cheek by jowl with the
kinglY robber and despoiler.
And in order that we may make
a little more money in the markets
Of Threadneedle street we smile
complacertlY while Kitchener,
without the skill Of a soldier, but
with the propensity to kill, is sent
to ravage the farmsteads of the
Transvaal, and we suffer France, so
lately controlled by Bourbon and
Bonaparte, to take our place
beside the smiTten republics
There may be pages in our an
nails that tell OF deeds more vile, but
none that depress our souls with
such a sense OF meannoss.

II is no use shutting ones eyes to the
truth-one can olunder on for a long

sooner or later; the situation is nct
favorable TO the English-perhaps less
favorable than at this time last year, and
principally because the facts are not
clear, and It is impossible to form an
accurate opinion on the state of affairs.
The greatest danger consists IN not rec.
ognlzing what a great danger there is.

they are further away from the end Of
