AN AMERICAN WEAKNESS.

One of the curious things in Ameri-
can life is the fordness of people and
legislators for new laws Every body
seems to think the millennium can be
fastened by legal enactment, and hence
legislators every year are busy passing
new laws, which sometimes are a dead
letter within three months after the
date OF their supposed enforcement
The people are for laws, but "agin the
enforcement Chicago News.
The people evince no especial fond
ness for new laws, but the law-making
bodies seem to proceed on the theory
that the more laws they enact the
greater the wisdom and usefulness of
those bodies. The inexperienced legis-
lator feels that he is a failure if he does
not become the parent of few laws,
and it is this feeling that causes the in
PRODUCTION of all sorts of bills on all
conceivable subjects. More than Is, 600
bills have been introduced IN the pre-
sent Congress, but very few Of them
have or will become laws, and fewer
still ought to become laws We have
too many laws and too few wise and
wholesome laws. The people who are
governed most are not governed best.
Unnecessary laws are bad baws Laws
for which there is no need or demand
are seldom enforced, and the non-en-
forcement of law weakens respect for
law. The fewest laws consistent with
good government, and their strict and
impartial enforcement, should be the
controlling idea of those commissioned
to enact or to execute the laws.-Nash-
vile American.

ATTACKING MARK TWAIN.

The Republican newspapers are
endeavoring to break the force of the
splendidly satiricaI article in which
Mark Twain so seathlngly arraigned
the administration 5 policy in the Phil
ipplnes aud China, aud IN doing so
are resorting, as usual, to personal at
tacks upon the great humorlst They
have discovered, or pretend to have
discover /, that he has always been
mugwump and during the civil war
served in the Confederate army. In
the opinion of the Boston Herald
the Republican newspapers are making
mistake, and its opinion is correct.
The situation in the Philippines and
CHINA is something that commands the
attention of every thoughtful and pat
RIO ic citizen in the United States, and
those who are not identified with poll
tics show their devotion to the well
fare of the country when they critl-
cize President McKinley's policy or
give him hat they sincerely believe to
be wholesome advice This is exactly
what Mark Twain has done, and it is
quite safe to say he Will be encouraged
in the attitude he has assumed. He has
acted from no other motive, so far as
the people are able to see, than a sim
cere devotion for his country and a
desire to maintain the national honor
unsmirched
"rhere should be gratitude toward
him, remarks the Boston Herald, for
having left his accustomed sphere of
literary work to engage IN a duty so
plainly dlsinterested We need men

obligation Is incumbent on others than

The Republican newspap.r organs

and holding up to public excavation tt e

UNCLE SANS GUNS.
His Biggest Pieces sat the Pan-AmeF-

His Biggest Pieces sat the Pan-AmeT-
lean Exposition.
Extraordinary interest will attach
to the Ordnance Exhibit of the Unit
ed States government at the Pan
American Exposition, showing the
modern weapons of warfare, which
were used in the recent wars. 1t will
include the best Of former exhibits and
will in addition have novelties never
before shown. The heavy ordnance
will be mounted outside the Govern
ment building. This branch Of the ex-
hibit will include the II inch gun, with
disappearing carriage, so arranged that
neither the man nor the gun is exposed
except during the moment of firing the
recoil throwing it into its original posi-
ton. Then, too, there will be shown
the Is inch spacoast rifle manufac-
tured at the Watervliet arsenal, the
most powerful piece of ordnance ever
constructed in the United States hay
ing maximum range Of 201a miles. 1t
will be the greatest display of heavy
ordnance ever made, yet this is only
one of the numerous features of the
Government Ordnance Exhibit for the
Exposition.
Another exhibit of ordnance will be
made by manufacturers, but in a diff
ferent part of the grounds. It will be
very large, as all the makers will nat
urally want to make as good q show,
ing as possible. Here a considerable
number of important inventions not
yet accepted by any government, but
which may figure conspicuously in the
possible defenses Of the future will be
shown. There will be great guns and
small guns and guns of all kinds and
their accessories at the Pan-American
Exposition TO many visitors this will
be one of the most attractive features
of the big show. The study of weap.
ons with which the great powers wage
war is ever an interesting one. and the
many wonderful discoveries and inven.
lions in this line during the past few
years have a tendency very naturally
to accentuatc the interest. That the
fullest opportunity to satisfy curiosity
in this direction VIII be given at this
Exposition is assured

Booker Washington, the Tuskegee
negro college president, Is certainly
undertaking a good work for his race
whether it ever results in any lasting
good to them or not The annual con
ferences under his direction, having
for their object the betterment of the
industrial welfare of the negro, are
worthy of the encouragement of the
white people of the entire south.
These conferences serve to impress
upon the negro the necessity of doing
something towards his own uplifting
in an honest and industrious way, and
if the negro shall follow the instruc-
tons he receives at these meetings
they cannot fail to do him a great deal
of good.-CoIumbus Enquirer Sun.
