GEN. DAN SICKLEs, who killed Phil.
Barton Key on the streets in Washing
ton Just before the war, is now so
anxious to be the next commander OF
the G. A. Z. that, to gain favor with
that organic ,tion, he has thrown to the
winds everything be ever said 10 favor
of Commissioner of Pensions Evans
and now there is nothing too bad for
him to say against that officer. Where
he was once supporter Of an intelli-
gent Interpretation of the pension laws
he is now the mainstay of the opposite
policy which favors giving the "old SOL
der" everything he asks for and more
II he wants 1t. ~ this the general has
completely reversed himself, as he did
forty years ago, when 10 speech 10
defense OF secession delivered on the
floor of Congress at the beginning OF the
civil war, he avowed his sympathy with
the southern leaders and denounced
the attempt to coerce the southern
States. But like many other northern
democrats, who at the beginning OF the
war said "if the federal army were or.
dered to invade the South it would
have to march over their dead bodies"
General Sickles, when 1t became evil
dent that it was TO his personal interest
to change his mind, suddenly "ssen his
duty and done 1t" by joining the fed
eral army and helping to coerce the
South. But his ante bellum speech
which has been resurrected by friends
of Commissioner Evans and scattered,
10 revenge, over the country, particu-
larry among Grand Army circles, for
the purpose OF imperiling his candidacy
for commsnder-in.chie of the organiza-
ton, has brought him into ridicule if 1t
will not defeat his ends, for the G. A.
Il are interested, not in what a man
has done, but what he will do for them.

morning that reports to the effect that
either Columbia or Constitution had
bsen selected we're premature. INC

will be any more races or not" TIE

Newport, r l, Sept. 5.-Columbia.
the champion cup defender OF 1899 was
selected today 10 defend the America 8
cup against the Britieh challenger
Shamrock II. The cup challenge COM
mittee of the New York Yacht Club
spent the greater part Of last night aud
all this morning discussing the relative
merits OF the two yachts. At 1l:5O
a. 10. Secretary ]. Y. s. Odde, OF the
CLUB, made the announcement and
stated that there would be no more
races between Constitution and Column
bia. Columbia will bs taken ss soon
as possible to Bristol and overhauled
and then taken to Erie Basin where she
and Shamrock III. will be remessured
for the cup races. As the cup defender,
the Columbia will be captained by
Charlie Barr and ex-Commodore E. ID.
Morgan, will act as her managing
owner.
The selection Of Columbia raises two
ques ions in The yachting world. First,
Il Columbia sufficiently improved over
her 1899 form, to beat Shamrock III,
and second, Did Nat Herreshotf, the
veteran designer, reach his limit when
he built Columbia. The members of
the New York Yacht Club are almost
a unit In the opinion that if Constitu.
ton had been tuned into shape she
would have been the better boat. +

SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND MEN have

SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND MEN have
been idle sixty.odd days as the re-
suit of the recent strike With loss to
them of about ten million dollars and
double that amount to those who en-
pl,y them. After losing two months
of the summer mechanics, who allowed
themselves to have hooks placed In
their noses by Shaffer, fud themselves
at the approach Of cool weather with
empty cupboards and pockets and their
cause 10 no way advanced, while they,
tired of idleness and many OF them dis
eusted with the despotism OF their
leader, are ready to repudiate him and
resume work. Some OF the victims sure
" had enought instinct to have seen
the result at the beginning. IL Is the
same old story and it takes neither
prophet nor the son of 3 prophetic draw
horoscopes on such occasions. There
is every reason why workmen should
be- paid remunerative wages. 10 fact
they should command enough to have
a small margin for rainy days which
come to all. When such q desidera-
tum is realized it should be appreciated
aud priced far more than the recognition
of labor leaders by those who open the
channels OF trade and claim they have
the right to manage their own business.
The latter is the issue, precipitated by
the leaders, which cause all the trouble.
The rate of wages, which should be the
vital principle at stake, is strangely
looked upon as secondly consideration.
10 fact strikes almost invariably take
place when wages are at hlgh-Wate
mark. But history shows that the heads
OF labor organizations, when they are
bent on causing trouble, can always
hod some cause to call men from their
work aud thereby bring trouble to them
and their families.
