That is a very pretty theory as
phrased by DR.. Hale, but hardly
one to be pushed to the front at
this particular time. For the ten
dency of the day is toward an ed.
ucation indisposing folks to use
their bodies for work and inclin-
ing them to seek to make a living,
not exactly by their brains, but
by their wits. At one extreme is
the walking delegate in labor or
CARNATIONS, at the other the
would-be professional man. These
tendencies are exceedingly unfor-
tunate in view of the crying ne
cessity for muscle. With all our
advance in the use of machinery,
the world has not enough labor
ers to do its work. That is not
due to n deficiency in the number
of men, but to n radical mistake
which has been made in training
Ih9 pOpulaJlOn TO lose respect tOr
labor. The distinction, Il false
one, between labor and work is
already too sharp, There is no
fundamental difference between
wages and salaries, but false edu-
cation tries to make sharp def
milton What is needed is to
teach that the intelligence which
directs or guides and the intelli-
gence which accomplishes labor
either of the brain or the Drawn,
or of the combination of both,
are identical in essence, and that
the task should not make the man,
but the man should make the
task. Could such view prevail,
labor would involve something
higher than mere physical endea,
yOr.

THE OVERWHELMING democratic vic
tory in Maryland last week means the
probable elimination of the negro as a
political factor in the State. The race
issue was one that had much weight IN
the campaign, the efforts of the republi-
cans to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
democrats will have in the next legisla-
ture nineteen Senators and seventy mem
bers of the House. The republicans will
have but eight Senators and thirty-one
members of the House. On joint ballot
the democrats will have eighty-nine votes
against thirty-nine. To eliminate the
negro vote constitutional amendment
will be necessary, and topropose such an
amendment q three-ffths vote in each
house is necessary This majority the
democrats have for the first time in many
wears. That constitutional convention
will be called following the passage in the
legislature of the resolution to submit GER
tain constitutional amendments to the
people there is not the slightest doubt,
and Maryland will put herself in line
with other southern States on the suffrage
question.

DISCHARGE OF WoRKMEN. - An
nouncement comes from the Illinois Steel
Works in South Chicago, that over 1000
more men have been laid of, making the
total of discharged men in the last fort
night 5000 to $500. Laborers at the
plant are panic stricken, fearing they are
to be thrown out of employment just at
the threshold ofwinter The most alarm
is felt over reports from Pittsburg to the
effect that non-union men are being en-
ployed at reduced wages, the cut in some
cases amounting to 20 per cent. Only
last week l., 900 excited Poles who had
been thrown out of work clamored at the
gates ofthe company's grounds for EN-
ployment, became so persistent that the
South Chicago police were invoked to
drive them away from the plant During
the week just past 40 per cent. Of the la
borers, machinists electricians, sailor
gangs and structural iron men were laid
off. The officials are reticent about their
plans, saying merely the reduction in
force is necessary to curtail the output,
for which there is not now an adequate
market. Adyices from the Pittsburg
district are that nOn-union plants along
the Monongahela river were to open,
giving employment to 5000 men.

THE PANAMA AFFAIR.

Following its action in giving prompt
recognition and practical assurance Of
protection TO the new republic OF Pana-
ma. the administration has proceeded
with unusual diplomatic speed to diplo-
matte extremes in aiding the new nation
to get into business. Though it has re-
ceiyed no official notification of his APP
pointment, the State Department has
announced that it recognizes NJ. Bunau-
Varilla, Frenchman and fiscal agent
of the Panama Canal Company, as the
diplomatic agent in Washington of the
new republic, and is ready to transact
business with him even to the extent of
negotiating a Panama canal treaty with
him. Though the Spooner act author
lied the President to negotiate a canal
treaty with Colombia or Nicaragua, the
State Department has decided that un-
der it the President may negotiate a
treaty with the republic of Panama.
Furthermore, this government has taken
it upon itself, though it has never had
any diplomatic relations with the new
rep1blic, to inform the powers Of Europe
as to what the new republic will and
will not do. The Navy Department is
concentrating large naval force at the
isthmus, to be prepared for any emer-
gency as we'll as for squadron practice
movements. The battleship Maine has
been ordered to Colon.
A dispatch from Panama says the
republic of Panama will assume the
Colombian governments canal obliga-
tons, and that arrangements with that
end in view are already being made. M.
PHILIPPE Bunau-Varilla has been APP
pointed diplomatic agent Of the republic
of Panama at Washington. From Colon
comes report that the municipal coun-
ellis of Pendmone, Emperador, San
Carlos and Arraijan have announced
their adherence to the new republic of
Panama.
No European powerhas yetrecognized
the new Panama republic. Before Civ
ing a formal recognition by France of
the new republic, Foreign Minister Del
casse has decided TO secure specific
declaration that the new regime will
carry out Colombias former obligations
in connection with the canal and other
French property interests. Until this
declaration is Enthusiastically given,
French recognition will be withheld1

eral of Colombia, who says he has receiv-

ing that Z 200 troops are about to arrive

A FATHER AT EIGHTY-Two.-The
birth the other day Of son and heir to
the Marquis of Donegal, who is eighty
two years of age, is not without parallel
in recent years. Some two or three years
ago the late Viscount Bolingbroke provi-
ded surprise of much the same kind to
his relatives. Away back in 1869 he
married Ellen Medex. But that union
was annulled by the courts on the discov-
cry that the lady in question had hus-
band living at the time she welded Lord
Bolingbroke, and the two sons which she
had borne to Lord Bolingbroke were pro-
nounced illegitimate. From that time
forth the viscounts cousin, Canon st.
John, Gloucester Cathedral, was uniyer-
sally regarded as heir to the peerage,
and to the entailed property which ex-
tends over about 4, 900 acres.
The canon was already being hailed as
the sixth Viscount Bolingbroke at the
funeral of the fifth lord, who had died at
the age of eighty-one, when suddenly
the family lawyer stepped forward and
announced to the amazed mourners that
''the late viscount married late in life.

Vernon st. John, who succeeds to the
title as Viscount Bolingbroke."

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS

In the House republican caucus on
Saturday night Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois,
was nominated for Speaker A resolu-
ton was adopted making the elective of
ficers of the House in the last Congress
the nominees of the caucus for the
Fify-eighth Congress. The present
House rulers were agreed to.
Mr.. Cannon has notified Representa-
tive Williams, who by virtue of his Sc
lection by the democratic caucus as the
democratic candidate for the speakership
is now the recognized leader Of the mi
nority, that he will consult with him on
the selection of the democratic members
of the House committees. In taking
this step Mr.. Cannon created prece-
dent. Heretofore the Speaker of the
House has appointed the members of the
committees, both from the majority and
the minority side Of the House, without
consulting anyone except his own init
mate friends. Mr.. Cannon's action in
notifying the minority leader that he
may appoint the democratic representa-
ton on the committees approaches the
rule of the Senate, where both parties
appoint committees who select their
party representation in the committees.
As a matter of politics, Mr.. Cannon's
action in throwing upon Mr.. Williams
the responsibility for the appointment OF
the democrats on the committees is an
exceeding shrewd move.

Refused TO Eetertain Negro Guests.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-Because the
leading hotels of this city drew the color
line in refusing to entertain negro guests,

The convention is being held under the

Church North, and at least dozen bish-
ops of that organization are in attend
ance. Several white ministers opened
their homes to the colored visitors.
