Expatriated Patriot Perdicafis.

What was the Perdicaris living in
Tangier for? Here is "a, rich man who
made his money in this country, son
of an American and a wandering
Greek, living in great luxury in Mo-
rocco. He is abducted. and we are
sending; a fleet OF .Warships to compel
his restoration. He may be worth the
$100,O00 it may cost simply to show
that we are looking out for our citi-
zens, wherever they are, but, other
wise, his claim on this country is Of
the f1imsiest. These self -expatriated
patriots are never heard from unless
they are in trouble and want help

ABOUT PREPAREDNESS"

Tt is characteristic of the Repub-
lican party always to attempt to hide
an evil aim behind some form of IA
aniliar words. It's assaults upon good
public policy and upon the traditions of
the republic are always made with an
apology that fools good many peo-
pie, although it will not bear an in
stant's examination. So with its
scheme of bribing the manufacturer at
the expense of the consumer. This it
calls protection" and falsely lauds
as for the benefit of the laboring man.
So with the policy to which it is now
committed, of making the United
States a conscript camp like Germany
and France and Russia, in the inter
est of huge military and naval estab-
Jishments. This it conceals under the
plausible argument that we do not
wish for war, but that we can assure
permanent peace only by being pre-
pared"
This is most unqualified tommyrot.
There is not an honest breath in it.
The United States has all the prepa-
ration today that she needs as mat
ter of protection. She is fortified in
that position by her experience of a
hundred years. Every man and every
gun added to her offensive resources
now is not only so much Of a burden
upon the people, but so much more an
incentive to attack. The plain truth
is that with the growth of our arma-
ments grows inevitably the feeling
that accompanies them-of power. of
insolence and of incipient aggression.
Sooner or later this spells war. You
might as well give a small boy a gun
on his birthday, send him out alone
and expect him to come back without
firing it as to expect nation control
ling vast army and navy willingly to
keep the peace.
We wonder how the 1emagogues
who are constantly talking about the
necessary preparedness" explain the
immunity of the United States from
attack in the last ninety years Not
since our last war with Great Britain
have we been embroiled with any
European power down to our conflict
with Spain. We announced the I'M
palatable Monroe doctrine We went
around with a choice collection of
chips on our shoulders and with coat
tails trailing on the ground. We were
deliberately offensive to every nation
in Europe. We were especially hated
by them all as an example to their peo-
pie of successful revolution, and of
happiness under a republican form Of
government. We gave the foreigner
the opportunity to interfere presented
by great civil war We ordered Max
imilltan out of Mexico. Again and
again and again, all the time in O
state Of complete 'unpreparedness,
with no army worth mentioning and
until the last twenty years with no
navy that a few punches of fire.
crackers could not destroy, we have
gone on our way unmolested. # IS
only since our navy has become rival
of those of other powers, only since we
began to make our army bigger and
bigger, that this palaver about the
necessity of preparation has been
heard along the coasts that for a Ger
tury remained peaceful and unarmed
when the danger was a million times
as great.
Let us be honest about these things.
If the American people believe in mil
itarism, they will not be held back
from it by any protestations of ours.

Cleveland VIII Not Reject Nomination

Mr.. Cleveland is not candidate for
the nomination at St. Louis, but if his
fellow citizens and fellow Democrats
shall call him once more to leadership
he is not the man to decline. Under
such circumstances he could not refuse
the summons of his party, and his ac-
ceptance would not be inconsistent
with anything that he has written or
spoken on the subject of being an as
pirant for the. nomination. No man
has yet rejected the presidential nomi-
nation of a great party. Mr.. Cleveland
would not reject it.-Chicago Chroni-

Philadelphia, Dec 29.-Dispatches
from Huntingdon, Pa, tonight state
that some Of the Huntingdon signers
to the presentment against Bishop
Talbot have repudiated the present
ment and say 1t was never their inten'
ton to sign a paper of the character
that hal appeared in the press. Ii
this be true the proceedings must be
dropped as a presentment Of character
made against the bishop must contain
the names of at least three persons
from the diocese in which the accused
bishop lives. 1t is. said the paper was
signed by the Huntingdon men under
a misapprehension, they believing
they were assisting in closing a long
controversy and not one in which
their bishop was to be brought to
trial.
When ] Frederick Jenkins was told
Of information received from Hunting
don today he said the names of the

Names of Philadelphia signers. he

DISCUSSING THE POINT.
BY the Associated Press.

Philadelphia, Dec 29-Interest in
the case of Dr. Irvine against Bishop
Talbot today was largely centered in
the question as to whether the pro
ceedinga brought by Irvine be uncan-
onical after she first Of new year. The
point raised by DR.. Fulton, editor Of
the Church Standard, that the board
of inquiry will have no power to pro-
coed because the canon under which
the board was named will be super
seeded by a new canon January LIST was
discussed by the lawyers and clergy
men, and a wide difference of opinion
prevails Some held that the board
being regularly organized under the
present canon its jurisdiction will be
continued until it has disposed of the
business for which il has been Great
co
On the other hand Francis A. Lewis,
who is versed in ecclesiastical law,
and who was a member of the commit
tee on canons at the last general con
vention of the Episcopal church, be-
lieves Fulton point we'll taken. r. j..
Frederick Jenkinson, one of the pre-
senters in the case said tonight he be
lieved nothing would be done until this
board of inquiry met and that the
members would then decide whether
they have jurisdiction. If they decid-
ed they have not 1t would then be only
a matter of a short time before pro-
ceedlngs would be instituted under
