T$HE international tennis matches
to be held on the courts OF the
Longwood Cricket club at Long
wood, Mass, should prove 70 pe
fully as interesting as those held
n year ago at the Crescent Athletic
club. at Bay Ridge, in the lower
part of Brooklyn. The two Doherty
brothers III. L. and II. F-). who dlvideu
honors over here last season with the
American champion. are sure to come
over again. when in good health they
are the best racket mantpuiators IN
Great Britain.
The invaders brought over three
players last year-the two Dohertys
once held the singles championship OF
England. DR.. PIN, however. was
clearly "ofr his feed" He could do
nothing with Larned and Whitman the
leading American players, and many OF
the spectators as well as the captain
of the English team himself were OF
the opinion that had one of the Doher-
tvs taken Pins place in the tourney
the Americans would have been de1eat-
ed for the international singles chaIn-
pionship. Therefore it is the intention
of the Britishers to make as much use
of the Dohertys as possible. and 1t Is
highly probable that they will be the
only players to come to this side
Br1tInhers Play Mt Newport Also.
After the international matches,
which are scheduled for the early part
of August, the Englishmen will go to
Newport, r.. l.. to participate in the
national championships of America, to
be held as usual on the courts at the
Casino, the rendezvous of the most
prominent society people of the coun-
try. One may Judge OF the caltber of
the people who frequent the Newport
Casino when 1t is stated that one may
rub up against more mIllionaires on its
grounds in five minutes than will be
seen in n fashionable New York gam
bling house in a whole evening.
The national championships are to be
held while the races for the Americas
cup are in progress. and this arrange
ment is unfortunate. Many of the ten
mis- enthusiasts are very fond of yacht
ing, and vice versa. and the clashing of
the events makes it impossible for
these folks to witness both. William A
Larned of Summit, N. J., is picked to
again win the national championship
in singles. Should Malcolm d. Whit
man, former champion. who was de-
feated last year by Larued, enter com
petition against Larned this year the
tourney will be most interesting, as
whitman is considered tor be the only
player in the same class with Larned.
His defeat by Larned last summer was
a bitter pill for whitman to swallow,
as 1t is generally known that he has
an ample estimate of his own playing
ability.

ALASKA AND PANAMA.

In 1867 we bought Alaska for $1,000
900, and thereby acquired an area Of terri
tory which is one-third of that of the en-
tire United States. We also acquired ex.
ceedingly valuable mining, fishing and
sealing rights, notably the Pribilof Is
lands. The Treadwell Mines alone have
produced over SIG, OO0,O 900, which is over
twice the original cost of Alaska, and YET
we are to pay $10,000,0OO Of money
earned by the sweat of the brow of Ameri.
can people for the purpose of giving Pan
anna canal, which will prove the greatest
revenue producer in Central America. All
that can be urged in defense of this action
is that President Roosevelt has made a
bargain with Panama and must stand by
it. A bargain is a bargain, but it some
times pays to choose a good trader when

nous advantage. Times Dis
patch.
By such trifiing suggestions as the above
the opposition press is trying to minimize
the splendid achievement of President
Roosevelt in securing for the United
States the long sought concession for build
ing the Panama canal. 1t is carrying out
to the letter the suggestion made by the
Richmond Times, not great while ago,
that it is the mission of the Democratic
party to oppose and obstruct whatever the
Republican party offers or advocates
That policy was pursued by the Democ-
racy when Mr.. Seward purchased Alaska
The seque! has proved that bis judgment
was correct and the Democracy, as usual,
was wrong. When the United States
made it, treaty with Spain and agreed to
pay twenty millions of dollars for the
Philippines another howl was set up by
the Democrats, but in time they will be
treating it as a great bargain secured by
our country, as they are now disposed to
treat the Alaskan purchase.
With progressive, patriotic citizens no
defense of President Roosevelt is necessary
for what be has done in connection with
the Panama canal matter. The American
people will zee that the bargain stands;
and any effort on the part of the partisan
press to detract from the Presidents
neritorlous conduct will only serve to
make him more popular with reasonable
men,

Eminent authorities on insanity take
the same view of the harmful influence Of
sensational newspaper accounts of crime
that Ex-Governor Hamilton, of Illinois,
took in the following utteIance in Chicago
recently: "The tendency is to excite the
public mind and present thieves, high
waymen, and bandits as heroes, and many
boys and weak.minded men are inhuen'
ced to dsrespect law and frown upon de-
cency." Much the same thing is to be
said OF exaggerated accounts Of the effort
made by cranks from time to time to get
access to the President, either at the
White House or when he is travelling.
The invariable effect is to set other cranks
in motion, excite their diseased imagna.
tons into unusual activity, and start them
for Washington or any other point at
which they can create a scene. There are
too many cranks ready to be ''set on fire
by the words of philosophic anarchis
as Emma Goldman set Czolgosz on fire.
The newspapers seldom preach ANARCHY,
whatever else they may do to stimulate
cranks to activity.

hoarseness. A day or two before the at

soon followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, OF
even after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many

Rev. Thomas r. Slicer, pastor Of AL
Souls church, held up to severe criticism
the donations of rich men who hope there

money wrung from the poor. Too much
appreciation cannot be shown for dona'
tons of honest money to charity and edu-

"During the coal strike last winter the
price of oil was raised to seventeen cents
by the Standard Oil trust. This was done
at time when the poor were in most need
of this necessary commodity, when suffer-
ing and privation were on every hand.
"But still Chicago University could re-.
ceive handsome endowment by one who
was responsible for the untold suffering Of
the poor throughout the eastern states"

Desecrati on of the Flag.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
There have been an extraordinary NUM-
Der of bills introduced at the present ses
sion of congress TO prevent the Dissertation
of the American flag. There is a growing
conviction that the flag is cheapened and
its influence and inspiration marred by be-
ing used to emphasize and ornament an
advertisement, or a trademark. 1t is pro-
posed to make such misuse OF the nation.
emblem penal ofense.
Such bills have been introduced mahy
times before, and there is strong convic-
ton that congress should protect the coun.
try's emblem from selfish and personal
uses of this nature. One obstacle in the
way of giving this protection is the habit
of political parties using the flag as a por.
tipn of their party emblem. There was in.
spiration in such use during the civil war,
when the flag was made the symbol of the
Union republican party.
The pending bills are directed against
the commercial misuse of the flag as d
business advertisement, and would not,
apparently, prevent it being used as an
addition to political party device. This
is not entirely clear, but the passage of
the bill would be public benefit by stop
ping the use of the flag for advertising
purposes. If it stopped also the lacking OF
the names of party candidates 20 the flag,
that also would be by no means a misfor
tune.
The flag should be common; it should
be in evidence everywhere, but wherever
it is seen it should stand only for the ma.
tional authority and glory.
