A Comparison.

The conditions in England, which
have followed the attack upon the
English fishing boats in the North Sea
by Russias Baltic squadron. suggests
a comparison with the days in our own
country which followed the blowing up
Of the Maine in Havana harbor; ana
when we read that the Russian am
bassador WIS mobbed in the streets OF
London. and that the British govern
ment, without inquiry, and upon only
the unverified report of the fishermen
has demanded an apology and repair
alton from Russia, the comparison is
one altogether fiattering to our own
country. The blowing up of the Maine
came i'm ii time of profound peace, ana
the Joss of life was such that that
among the English fishermen this week
is trivial in comparison. Moreover, in
our own case, the vessel destroyed was
splendid warship carrying our
national flag Although our country
aroused by the occurrence. the Spanish
ambassador was never mobbed and his
home in Washington was absolutely
safe from assault or insult. There was
shouting of thoughtless and needless
persons. both in print and out. but the
nation as a whole, and the government
at its head. demanded inquiry and in
vcstigation and the establishment OF
the responsibility before any steps
should be taken.
If there should be Americans today
who condemn President Mckinley for
the program which followed it. what
would they have to say of the happens
nings in England. whose government,
without waiting for Il hearing or in
vestigation has made demands of Rus
sid the tone and temper Of which sug
Sests immediate war; if they are not
promptly complied with? Sometimes
Americans are called hysterical people
but we have nothing to fear in the
comparison which these two events in
evitably suggests. Although our provo
cation was much greater than that
which England hats ut the present time
nevertheless the tone Of our press was
more moderate. the conduct of our
peopl" VAS calmer and the attitude oc
just.

TALKS FOR MERCHANT MARINE
Government Official Takes Up the
Matter in a Speech at St. Louis.

st. Louis, Aug. 25.-Robert Arm
strong. assistant secretaryof the treas
ury addressed the End annual conven-
ton of the American Institute of
Bank Clerks this afternoon. The
two things especially worthy of con-
sideration. he said, were the securing
for the state of the permanent export
trade and the merchant marine. The
speaker said he was unable to under
stand the objection of some people to
government assistance in supplying
American rolling stock for the high
way of commerce. A rehabilitation
of the merchant marine would be
followed logically by the development
of the American export trade, which
would result in placing the American
banks and bankers in all foreign
lands.

Knight of this city, has written to the

sailor on the cruiser, Dixie, whose

the members of the ships crew, as
charged in the information given by
the mayor to the department. 1t is
alleged that a fireman was put in
irons and beaten and kicked because
he was intoxicated. A mere boy was
held in irons for two days because he
was slow in tying up the boat. A
coal passer was permanently disabled
for naval duties by having been sub
jected to beating, and FIVE others
were put in irons for five days for
protesting against his punishment.
