THEY ARE ALL EXPLAINING.

The denials and explanations of va
rious European nations of the state
ment made by Lord Cranborne in the
House of Commons in which they were
charged with having favored a move
ment to bulldoze the United states into
keeping hands off of Spain, in the lat
ter's trouble with Cuba, are very
amusing. Before the Spanish-American
war the continental Powers did not
have as high an opinion of the mill
tery strength of the United States as
they have now They did not look upon
this country as a world power. much
less as the world power. They thought
ali they had to do was to notify the
government at Washington that they
did not want Spain interfered with in
order to secure for the latter a free
hand in dealing with Cuba. They have
a different opinion of the United
States now. Before the naval victories
at Manila and Santiago they would not
have cared much If the United States
did know that they had contemplated
DulAdONlIE Ahtiil. ANOh tiAN9 81 ana
ious that it shall be understood that
they never had any such intention. In
deed each of them is earnest in its
efforts to have it understood that it
was not concerned in movement to
oppose the United States policy in
respect to Cuba.
The Spanish-American war opened
the eyes of all Europe to the vast
wealth and strength of the United
States. 1t showed Europeans that the
greatest nation of the world was on
this side of the Atlantic ocean. They
know now that no important step in
the worlds affairs is to be taken with
out first consulting this country. It is
for the government at Washington to
say when and in what way, world dis
turbing questions shall be settled. If
it does not want to take part in the
settlement of such questions it win
say so, but it win always be con-
suited.
If before the Spanish American war
either Germany or France had wanted
70 tOlitCl a CldlIl IIOll d oOulu AHtI-
lean state, it is doubtful if either of
them would have taken the trouble to
consult our government in respect to
the matter. They would no doubt have
respected the Monroe doctrine, but it
is doubtful if they would have been as
careful as they will be now. 1t is
worthy of notice that before Germany
decided to send a squadron to Vene-
zueIa to collect claims of her citizens
against that country she was careful
to inform our government of her plans,
and France, having in view the col
Letting of a claim against the same
country, has followed Germany's ex-

to dominate the world commercially,
and in every other way. European ma
tons are becoming more careful every
day about giving offense to the United
States.

DR.. Hoyt of Detroit holds out pleas
ing prospect to those who are banking
heavily on posterity. Two hundred and
sixty years hence, he says, this coun-
try will be inhabited entirely by blith-
ering idiots, lunatics and fools. He has
figured it out to a mathematical nicely,
basing his calculation on the data of a
number of years showing the increase
of insane and foolish persons. He says
the increase has been at a rate greater
than the increase in the popula ton.
Should the rate of increase of the men,
tally unsound be continued, there would
be no sane person left i'm the United
States by the year 2162. However, the
doctor gives the comforting assurance
that this terrible trend toward national
intellectual catastrophe can be checked,
il the situation be grasped with a firm
hand and something done" in the near
future. What that something is he
does not say, but leaves il to be in
ferred that he has in mind the heroic
measure of the selection of species and
the elimination of the weak from the
problem of the future

NIXON FOR SHIP SUBSIDIES.

1t is well understood that Lewis Nix
on, the new leader of Tammany is an
advocate of subsidies for ships. A few
days ago there was a report in circula-
ton that he had undertaken to inf1u-
ence the Tammany congressman to
vote for the ship subsidy bill. In fact,
the story was that he had practically
ordered them to vote for it.
OF course those who gave the story
a moments thought knew that there
was no truth, in it. 1t would be a fool
ish thing for him to do to place Tam
many in opposition to the Democratic
party. If he were to attempt such a
thing as that he would not remain
Tammany's leader long.
MIR. Nixon does not hesitate to say
that he is in favor of subsidies for
ships. He is shipbuilder and he be-
lieves that subsidies are necessary for
the upbuilding of our merchant marine
He advocated the Payne ship
subsidy bill, and he is saying what he
can in favor of the new ship subsidy
bill, but he is not urging Tammany
congressman to vote for it.
The Republican papers have been
trying to open a breach between him
and the Tammany organization by put
ting him forward as favoring the ship
subsidy bill, but he has met the matter
so frankly that the effort has not been
successful. Being a ship builder it is
but natural that he should favor gov
ernment aid for our merchant marine.

After several months of innocuous
desuetude. Count Boni de Castellane
comes to the front again in connection
with a duel. He is not one OF the
principals this time, however, which
makes the case little out of the or
binary with Boni. The other day he
stirred up some sort of a row in the
Chamber of Deputies, which led two
members of opposing factions to quar-
rel on the floor and as an outcome
arrange a duel. 1t Is hardly possible
that the affair can 20 a great deal
further without Boni drawing his
trusted steel and sticking it into some
body's forearm.

When Luck and Pluck, one summer
day,
Went faring forth together.
Pluck wore a suit of homespun gray,
Luck had cap and feather;
A handsome, dashing fellow he,
And full of careless pleasure
Come, follow me; | hold the key"
He cried, "of boundless TREASURED"
He looked SO gay, and bold. and strong,
That listening ears were plenty,
His train of followers grew long,
A dozen-fifteen-twenty-
A hundred-still they came; while
Pluck
Tramped on, with few behind him;
Poor plodding fools" cried laughing
Luck.
"A stupid guide you'll find him!"
Luck led his careless troop ahead
With Boosting and with revel,
The sun shone radiant overhead.
The road was smooth and level;
But as the day wore on. behold
Athwart, the way. river
Without a bridge, flowed deep and cold,
A sight to make one shiver.
We'll We'll" cried Luck, well sit and
wait.
II may run dry tomorrow,
Or Wen see coming, soon or late,
Some boat that we can borrow"
So down they sate-and there they
STAYED
TO wait and hope at leisure
While lack assured them, undismayed,
They still would reach the treasure.
But Pluck. with those who tramped
behind
His sturdy figure. waited
No moment on the bank. to find
Whether the stream abated:
They plunged. they swan, they fought
their way,
The shore in safety gaining
And theirs the treasure is to-day,
While Luck looks on, complaining!

A famous story told to illustrate the
perversity of fate is that of the man
who went through the hardest battles
of great war unscathed, only TO be
kicked to death by mule after peace
was declared. A story that is not quite
a parallel comes from Illinois. A young
man of that state returned home after
serving three years in the Philippines,
where he faced all the hardships that
come to soldiers lot in that section
of the world. Hardly had he more
than got the CRIME of travel removed
from his face and clothes when he was
stabbed to death by his step-father, a
clergyman.

..Fightins Bob, and the Prince.

Admiral Robley d. Evans, in his in
teresting book. "A Sailors Log" tells
of his meeting with Prince Henry of
Germany at the celebration of the
opening of the Kiel canal. and Of en-
gaging with him in rather sharp
argument on naval affairs, without
knowing who he was Capt. Evans,
he was then, thus relates the meeting;
AT a reception given on board one
of the German battleships on the sun
dav after our arrival l had an inter-
esting experience. When | went over
the side / found a large company, most
of them dancing. AS | was not dane
ing man, | stood to one side to be out
of the way, and entered into conversa-
ton with young, clean-cut looking
German captain, who spoke English
perfectly. 1t was soon evident to me
that he was brilliant in his profession,
and we engaged in a rather sharp pro-
fessional talk. / did not agree with
the captain, whose name l had not
caught. and did not hesitate to speak
my m:nd-nor did he. After a time
he said he would be glad to present
me to his wife which he did. and l
found her a very charming and at
tractive woman. OF course, l had not
caught her name either, and, after
talking with her half an hour, | no.
Clced tnaU GOOD many people Seefneu
to be waiting to speak to her, so /
took myself off to the smoking apart
ment to enjoy a cigar. When I en-
tered, Admiral Knorr greeted me and
said: Evans, the Prince says you are
a good fellow, and he wants the En-
peror to know you. / replied, My
dear admiral. I haven't seen the Prince
and don't know him. Well he said,
you ought to know him; you have
been talking shop to him for half an
hour, and / don't know what you have
been SAYING to the Princess during
your conversation with her.
Il had been talking to two of the
most delightful people / ever met
Prince Henry and the Princess Irene,
without knowing in the least who they
were, and I certainly told them both
exactly what I thought about the diff
ferent things we discussed. The Prince
was in his uniform as a captain in the
navy, and commanded the vessel upon
which the reception was given. I aft
erward saw much of both of them, and
was indebted to them for much cour-
tesy, and the better / knew them the
more l saw in them to admire. 1t
was no doubt owing to the courtesy
of Prince Henry that his brother. the
Emperor. gave me such marks of his
distinguished consideration. The
Princess Irene came several times TO
the New York, and seemed always in
terested and pleased with her visits.

In one of his messages to Congress
President Mckinley declared Gen.
Weyler's policy of recommendation in
Cuba was not civilized warfare, and
the people of this country agreed with
him. Indeed, the people came to re-
gard Weyler as something of a mon
ster who went roaring about Cuba
seeking whom he might destroy. 1t
appears, however. in view of what Cen
Bell is doing in the Philippines, that
we Americans shall have to revise our
opinions of Weyler and his methods.
Still, it is difficult to work up for the
brown men of the Philippines that de-
gree of overpowering sympathy which
we felt for the white and black men
of our next-door neighbor, Cuba. Dis
lance dulls the edge of our grief for
the hardships of the Filipinos.

There is new reason why papa
should purchase the picture hat. on
occasion it may become a life pre-
server. To the uniformed it might
seem that few things could be further
apart than life preservers and picture
hats, but that only goes to show the
Grass ignorance OF the uniformed
Should anyone doubt respecting the
ability and willingness of the picture
hat to save life-as well as to take it,
should papa chance to have heart dis
ease-such person has only to read the
story of the thrilling experience of Miss
Katherine X. Hughes of Baltimore and
how her picture hat saved her from a
cold, watery grave Miss Hughes was
skating on Lake Roland. Her hat was
not only a picture but dream, con-
lection, and all the other nice things
that the hats of girls can be. 1t was
becoming, and she wore it jauntily. She
had jus. got to a channel, through
which a swift current flows beneath a
bridge. suddenly the ice broke and the
young lady was precipitated into the
water. The veracious chronicler who
tells the story for the Philadelphia
Press continues, from this point: THE
picture hat which Miss Hughes wore
undoubtedly saved her. for the edges
of it caught over the broken surface of
the ice and kept the young woman
from being swept under The hat held
long enough for her TO get her hands
free and grasp the ice, and by desper-
ate struggle she succeeded in getting
one arm upon the upper surface and
dragging herself to safety" That, we
submit, is heroic and thrilling,
both as to the girl and the hat. Balti-
more papas may now expect to find
themselves besieged by. their skating
daughters for picture hats; and when
they have read the story outlined
above, it is hard to see how they are
going to refuse to dig up the price"

the stream in the later years of the
eighteenth century and the earlier
years of the nineteenth an Importance
in the minds of navigators that it no
longer possesses. In those days the
chronometer, invented by Harrison in
1865, was still an experiment. Instru-
ments were crude and nautical tables
often a fault.
The result was that the determine
ton of the longitude was largely
matter of guesswork, a vesesl after
voyage from the channel to America
often being out of her reckoning by
degrees instead of by minutes. The
idea. first suggested by Benjamin
Franklin, that the master of a vessel,
by observing the temperature of the
surface water, could tell the moment
of his entry into the gulf stream, and
could hence fix his position to within
a few miles, was hailed with delight.
