A PATRIoTIc SPEECH.

1t is impossible for a stream to rise
above it's source, but it is not impossible
for president to rise above his party.
Many a man has been of the opinion,
that. although President Mckinley lacked
backbone-lacked the stuff of which re-
formers are made-he is infinitely better
than his party. Had he the courage of
his convictions and the ability to i'm
press these convictions upon others; in
short, If he had the decision and energy
of Jackson or even Cleveland, he would
have made an ideal president AS it is,
although his judgment is good, and his
motives patriotic, he lacks execution
before the opposition. of more aggressive
minds. He knows what he ought to do.
but like Hamlet he is "chicken-livered
and lacks gall to make oppression bitter"
His speech at the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo yesterday was model
of timely and patriotic utterances 1t
was: unusually clear anu TO the pOlnC LOT
him. 1t is a speech which might have
come from the lips of a conservative
leader of the party opposed to the Re
publican administration. From start to
finish it was gnifed but severe re-
Duke to the action of the last congress,
and the positions taken and now oc-
cupied by large majority of the Re-
publican party leaders. If his speech
means anything, it means that the presi-
dent has determined to leave his party
and pursue principles, even If they are
the tenets of the Democratic party Every
position taken by the president in this
remarkable speech, on the tariff, reel
procity, commerce, and the extension of
our lines of merchant marine, are the
exact positions which the Glob has
occupied and defended time after time
during the last year. We are but reiterat-
ing the arguments presented in these col

4mER1cAN COR IN EUROPE.

The supremacy of England and Ger
many in the European coal market is be-
ing threatened by American enterprise,
coupled with French aid. 1t has been
a close question whether American coal
could be laid down on the wharves Of the
seaport cities of Italy and France in
competition with coal from England and
Germany. Under the most favorable con-
ditions, both at the mines and in trans
portation, the feat was possible. With
the recent improvements in handling coal
for trans-shipment the markets of France
and Switzerland will he opened to Amer
lean coal.
France and Switzerland have both been
compelled to buy their coal from Ger
many This, in the case, of France, has
been done under a strong national pro-
test and any relief will be welcome. An
opportunity to strike a blow at Germany
is always welcomed by France.
A consular bulletin issued from Berlin
calls attention to the preparations, now
going on in France, which when COM
plete will menace the coal trade of the
German empire. Says the author Of this
bulletin: arrangements on a grand
scale, and comprising the most practical
manner of unloading, storing, and re-
loading are being made in French ports
from which French and Swiss consumers
are to be supplied with all kinds of Amer
lean coal. The French railroads have
made extra concessions in freight rates
so that the freight to the Swiss from
tier Will not exceed sc cents per ton. 1t
is believed by means of this exceptional
rate American coal will be able to under
sell German coal in Switzerland"
Notwithstanding our ability to invade
foreign markets with our coal our con-
gress in its infinite wisdom has found
it necessary to impose a tariff of 81 cents
per tor on bituminous coal. to protect
cur miners from the competition of Eng
land and Germany.

consent to give his employees at the least
a half holiday. 1t is a pitiful form Of
business greed which will not recos nize
the good of the whole to the extent at
least Of sus4,ending the cares and labors
of daily life for q. single afternoon, when
public authority in state and city alike
unite in urging that course upon the peo-
pie as a wise pubf.c policy.

II has much at stake in the success of
the state fair. That institution has de-
pended on this city not only for it's sue
cess but for it's very existence in the

made in the character and extent of the
exhibits within the past few years is in

states which can equal it. AS a means
of recreation, and as an opportunity for
the people of the state TO come together

what they are doing in their several call
ings to advance the day of universal
prosperity and good will, it represents a
rare opportunity.
The G o e urges on each of it's read
ers to go to the state fair today and to
bring with him or her one or more per-
sons. The charges of admission are light,
and the diversity of amusing and instruc-
tive spectacle to be observed is great.

Privilege of Purchasing Supplies
From the Army COmmissary Is
Now Denied the Civilian
Employees.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The cabled
report from Manila to the effect that the
newly arrived American teachers at a
mass meeting yesterday, decided to cable
to the president, complaining that prom
ised commissary privileges were denied
Them and that they found their expenses
double what they were assured they might
expect, attracted considerable attention
at the war department. The privilege of
purchasing comnissary stores at the
government warehouses in the Philip
pines, was taken away from all civilian
employees by order of the secretary of
war issued in June and ais that order was
widely published it was presumed that
the teachers who sailed subsequently, to
its issuance were aware OF it's existence
The letters and circulars issued by the
war department to applicants for these
positions in the Philippines contain no
urect statement upon the subject of
comE1issary privileges, but the promise
that they would have these privileges
might have been assumed from some
statements contained in manual of in
formation relative to the Philippine civn
service, which was published in Manila
early in the present year and to which
attention was invited by Col Edwards,
chief of the division of insular affairs,
in his circular to applicants This

Americans seeking positions in the civil
service there, contains the following re-
garding the purchase of commissaries:
TEACHERS WE'RE MIsLED.
Many of the Americans secure rooms
with private families and board in
messes. the provisions being purchased
from the commissary. The food obtained
from the commissary stores is the best.
and the average cost for a room and board
for those who live in this manner is
about S35 month. 1t is also proposed
to establish stores similar to the army
commissary stores for the benefit of
civilian employees. The stores will be
well stocked with provisions, groceries
and other neceSsaries of life, and civilian
employees probably will be able to pur-
chase from these stores at about 10 per
cent above the cost to the government.
The pamphlet containing the above
statement was mailed to each of the
teachers appointed, but attention was not
called to the fact that the privilege of
buying supplies at the government COM
