The Memorial Bridge.

1t was one of President McKinley's am

Washington as a memorial to the new
sympathy between North and South, to
the new bond of nationality that came
from the Spanish-American war. That
new bond, that new sympathy and the
disappearance so largely Of sectional pref
udlce have been the fruit of William Nc
kinley's statesmanship. Why not, then,

The Court of Enquiry has decided
that opinions of officers. present or abb
sent during the fight. could not be re-
ceived as evidence-a decision that would
be sustained by any court. as no court
would consider such proposition a mo-
ment.
The navy cliques guns are loaded with
opinions. which appears to be the only
ammunition 1t has, but they cannot be
fired.
The Court has spiked them. and in do
ing so the clique is compelled to adhere
to facts and facts seem to be all on the
side of Schley.
Men who would besmirch the character
of their fellows merely for the qualification

We are beginning to be afraid that
the Pan-American love feast at the City
of Mexico may not be as harmonious as
everybody has hoped. Venezuela and
Colombia are almost at war. the United
States is preparing serious naval dem
onstration for or against somebody. and
now we hear that revolution has broken
out in the Republic of Haiti against
its ruler. who rejoices- in the name of
Sam. Probably we shall have to send
ships there, too, although the island is
not known to possess any asphaltuni de-
posits. But these unhappy upheavals are
not calculated to give the States and
peoples interested happy frame Of mind
with which to consider peace. reciprocity,
arbitration. and go on

The American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions appears to have been stunned by
the amount of the ransom demanded by
the Turkish brigands for the safe return
of the American missionary, Miss Stone,
whom they are holding in captivity Only
two days ago 1t was announced that the
board had instructed its agent at Con-
stantinople to pay whatever might be
necessary; but probably that action was
taken under an impression that forty or
fifty dollars and some canned goods
would do the business. Since it has de-
veloped that more than hundred thou
sand dollars is asked, the missionary au-
thorities shake their venerable heads and
say that to pay the cash would be to
establish a most pernicious precedent So,
unless the Government is less particular
on the subject of precedents, and shall
produce the ransom before October 5. the
unfortunate woman Is likely to be either
murdered or married to a Turkish
brigand. 1t is very sad case.

II is currently reported in London that
the Canal Treaty has been drafted and
is ready for signature. Although nobody
outside of the Government pretends to
know the exact terms and provisions Of
the instrument. there is a general under
standing that they are more favorable to
the United States than those of the
former Hay-Pauncefote Convention. which
failed of ratification in the Senate. 1t Is
not likely that much more will be heard
regarding the matter until the return of
Lord Pauncefote to his post at Washing
ton.

There are fifteen institutions for the blind
in the kingdom Of Prussia-one State,
one municipal, nine provincial and four
supported by societies. Bavaria has five
institutions The best care is taken of
the blind in the kingdom of Saxony. OF
the f2,000 blind living in Germany, only
about 5000 are inmates of blind institu-
tions, which fact urgently pleads for the
immediate improvement of the facilities
for taking care Of these unfortunates.

A Cruel BIunder.

Two brothers had the habit OF calling
on the same South Side girl. One of
the brothers. George. was to take part
I'm some private theatricals, and the
girl had promised to fix up a shirt and
n pair of shoes for his costume. The
articles were to be delivered to her on
a certain evening.
Frank. the second brother. took II in
to his head to call OH the girl that same
evening. Frank knew nothing OF the
arrangements George had made with
her to help him with his costume. He
rang the bell, asked the maid to tell the
girl that Mr.. Allen had called and sat
down in the parlor.
The maid went up stairs and present
~ returned, trying hard not to smile.
"AIiss Jones says she is busy just
now and that you are to send up your
shirt and Shoes" was the message she
handed Frank.
WHAT" he yelled.

Possibly few who read of kings
robes OF royal ermine" appreciate that
the rightful and first possessors OF the
beauteous coat Is sometimes a deniZen
of the keystone State. 1t may be that
some subtle force suggested to turn
coat monarchs TO choose the pelt of this
animal for their own. In fact, during
the greater portion OF the year the err
mine is a plain egg sucking weasel. AS
winter comes on he assumes Il white
coat, with a black tipped tail.
PutOlus nOvebOracensis, as the scien-
fist calls the weasel or ermine, ranges
from North Carolina away up into Can
ada. 1t Is rare. however. to take err
mine or white coated weasels in Penn
sylvania. although two specimens have
just been received at the Academy of
Natural Sciences from Sullivan county.
In fact, south OF Pennsylvania the wea-
sci never changes color in winter. and
this fact goes far To substantiate the
theory of protective coloration. Thus
when snow covers the ground the white
ermine becomes nearly invisible, while
I'm his weasers guise during the sum-
mer he'll not nearly so conspicuous as
he would he did he wear his white coat
all the year round.
Another interesting fact is that while
the animals that live in the north al
ways change color those in the south do
not. the reason being that their white
color would not protect, but destroy,
them, as there is almost no snow in the
south.-Philadelphia Record.

WHAT STEEL STRIKE MEANS.

Only three of the 10 combines
which are united in the United States
Steel corporation-or billion dollar
steel trust-are directly affected by the
strike which began this week. These
are the American Sheet Steel compa-
ny, the American Steel Hoop com pa
ny, and the American Tin Plate COM
pany. OF the $4,000 men employed
by these, $4,000 are members of the
union and 10000 are not members.
In some of their mills only union men
are employed, in others there is a
mixture, and in a few there are no
union men employed. The strikers
demand that union schedules be
signed for all the mills under control
of the three combines" The union
contends that If these schedules are
not in force everywhere. the "com-
bines" can destroy the organization
by operating only their non-union

mills, and so make membership in the
union a handicap upon q laborer.
The ''com bines" contend that the
union has no right to seek to control
mills where it is not established, and
they refuse &c put the union sched-
ules into effect everywhere.
lie will be seen that the real issue is
test of strength between the union
and the billion dollar steel trust. One
object of this trust, as of all other
trusts, is to demoralize labor and con-
troll the wages of their employees,
forcing them to accept the lowest liy-
ing compensation for their toll, in or
der that big dividends may be de-
ciared for the stockholders. 1t is q
struggle of the Amalgamated associa.
ton for it's very existence.

SOME MORE GOVERNMENT BY I,
.JUNCTION.w

ODNCIlON.
A man in Michigan has undertaken
to govern the relations of his family
with other people by injunction. See
ing that injunctions are being gotten
out for almost any old thing nova
days, and that courts have under
taken to govern the country by their
ipse dixit, citizen of Ann Arbor con-
Guided to apply the system to con-
trolling the actions of gentleman of
the same city so far as they applied
to association with his (the first citi-
Zen's) wife. The latter objected to
attentions lavished on his better half
by the second citizen and which he
declared made her "discontented, -
and secured an Injunction "perpet-
ually restraining the said second citi-
zen from visiting the wife OF the said
fIrst citizen or from speaking to her
or writing to her in any way. directly
or Indirectly, by corresponding with
her through the aid of third persons.
This is novel application OF the
system of government by injunction,
and it will be interesting to learn
how the writ works. Should it prove

would be a rather unpleasant spec
tacular event for any one TO be hauled
up before a court and publicly fined
for disobeying an injunction not to
fiirt with another PERSONS companion.
But. after all, it may be asked,
what does any self-respecting man
want with a wife who has to be held
to his side by an order of the court?
Is such a woman really worth "gov-
erning by injunction?"
