Strikers in Spain, as they are in
many portions OF the United States,
are endeavoring to set aside and
disregard all authority and have
the criminals DOW In the custody OF
the Jaw liberated without trial be-
fore they agree to terms with their
employers. 1t seems now to be a
contest as to who shall control mat
tiers in that country, the lawless
strikers or the legally constituted
authorities, and both are preparing
for the final test. This contest may
appear a small matter on this side
OF the water, and yet 1t may be a
matter OF great Importance. A
triumph OF lawlessness there would
embolden that class in this country,
and a triumph OF law and order in
Spain would strengthen the authori-
ties in other countries. The result OF
the contest therefore will be looked
for with interest.

The President comes in now for
much unfriendly criticism for APP
pointing DR.. Wood, his special friend,
a Major General in the army, over
the heads OF hundreds of faithful OIL
GERS who outrank him. DR.. Wood is a
professional doctor, but not, 1t is as
serted, a professional soldier. This
is such radical departure from the
rule heretofore observed in promo
tions that some writer's demand the
abolition OF West Point. Why not
improve on that by abolishing Mr..
Roosevelt as President next year?
The country could spare him as the
head of the army better thanit could
spare West Point.

The Queen mother, OF China, is
bent on putting an end to all reform
ers and reform movements in the
Flowery Kingdom. The editorial staff
OF the only reform paper in Pekin is
under ARES. and will be tried for Sc
dition If the other countries do not
interfere, which at present is unlikely.
OF course trial in China upon such
a charge is equal to a conviction,

The Silk Mill at York, Pennsylya-

eighteen hundred thousand dollars
to five millions and will increase its
output accordingly. The mill in this
city has been contemplating an ex-
tensiye increase in its output and has
been unable TO do so up to this time,
only from an inability to procure the
needed force. 1t appears to us a fine
