RAILROADS OF THE SEA.

Winthrop L. Marvin, secretary to the congress,
Tonal merchant marine commission, in recent in
terview for New York paper, gives voice to the
results that have already been achieved by the com
mission s partially completed investigation Though
the congressman have yet to make study of marine
conditions of the southern seaboard states and re-
turn visit to the New York harbor, Marvin is as
ured that by the labors they have already com.
Pleted overwhelming evidence of the universal de.
mand for an improved merchant marine has been
Sbtained.
The idea that finds expression in some newspa-
pers, says the commissions secretary, "that the
loss OF our ships, our shipyards our splendid sail
ms and skilled workmen is matter of no particular
concern and that if foreigners through cheap wages
or subsidies, or both combined, can drive our ships
of the ocean they ought to do so has no reflection in
the sentiment of American business men. or at least
of the hundreds of American business men who have
appeared before the merchant marine commission y

tests originate for the most part in the great in.

THE BOND OF GOOD FAITH.

There is one vital point in our dealings with the
strange peoples who came to us as result of thu
war with Spain which no considerations can be al,
lowed to vitate 1t is the keeping of word with
them in every detail says the Saturday Evening Post
Unfortunately, our treatment of the Indian does
not present record in which we can take pride
"a century of dshonor' it has been called with
considerable justification. But We may use our
shame as a reminder that history must not be per.
mtted to repeat itself in our relations with the mil
lions of Filipinos and Porto Ricans
In recent issue of the London Times it was
stated that common incident in the official life of
India was to wait patiently while an Indian rever.
emily unfoded from well-worn rags Il tattered, vel
low fragment of paper which bore the signature of
some British official long since dead relating, pos
siby to services in the mutny or, it may be, only
cynical recital of faint praise "The Indian treas
ures these scraps of paper" says the Times, 'and
he has reason, for if they contain promise unre.
deemed or point to good service nrewarded it will
be point of honor to the reader to fulfill the prom
ise." In brief, the written pledge survives as a
bond, and, to quote the Times again, ''it would be
a grievous shock to the Indian if the word of the
British faed-that one sheet-anchor of the millions
who in times past have had nothing sure to cling
TO-"
We are new in the colonial business, and we are
disposed to move almost as quickly as We do in
,ur own politics. Our public men in their haste
nay forget the value of serupulous good faith.
Their preoccupations may be understood and allow
d for at home but is very certain that if America
s to carry on the work of higher civilization she
must keep the promises of her advance agents.

OUR NATIONAL NEGLECT.

We are told that republics are ungratefu We
must sadly confess that of America this is true says
the Tacoma Ledger Great men have fought for us,
written for us, guided us and even died for u.s. and
we have forgotten them, or remember their names
lonly in sleepy way. The average American looks
no further back than the civil war. He remembers
the heroes of that bloody conflict He has some
consciousness of Lincoln, and there he stops. e.@
There were great men before Agamemnon There
were great men before Lincoln and the civil war
1t would be well for us to pause reverenty now
and again to think of the virtues of Washington
Only too often if we hear his name today it is at
tached to some stupid joke. But when we forget the
virtues of the man who led our fathers to victory
in seven years war, for which he neither asked
nor received compensation We have forfeited our
title to manhood ,.t'
! Nor. does Washington stand alone in isolated
grandeur. Other heroes fought by his side. Other
heroes came into action at later day. Webster
Clay, Calhoun, Benton and many more are some
of the great names we are prone to forget.
We forget our great writer's. Perhaps it would
be nearer the truth to say that few care for them
Yet they are our glory. Ii a man speaks 10 an
Englishman of Shakespeare, to Scotchman of
Burns, to Frenchman of Moliere, to German Of
Goethe, to Spanard Of Cervantes, to Italian Of
Dante, he may strike friendship at once But let
one of these foreigners come among us and mention
the names of Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau or
Whitman, and he may meet with vacant stare
But great nation, as distinguished from big one
will never forget its great men, -

ANOMALIES OF MILITARY LAW.

The citizen when he becomes soldier loses some
of his most valuable rights among them the right to
trial by jury, with no jurisdiction in reviewing
court to increase the sentence which jury may i'm
pose upon him-as Private Charles Fields discovered
after court martial three years ago dismissed
him with trifing penalty for having killed Fill
pino, says the Commercial Tribune. The ease is
again brought to public attention by the fact that
President Roosevelt has pardoned him from serving
cut a sentence of 80 years in Bibid prison.
On the trial of Fields the facts appear to have
been in his favor, for it was shown that the Filipino
intoxicated at the tme attempted to take away his
gun, when Fields drew his revolver and fired the
shot that killed. But when the record was sent
to General Grant, commanding the department for
his action he severely rebuked the court set aside
IT'S findings and sentenced Fields to a term of so
years at hard labor Like incidents are not novel in
military and naval circles
When a naval court martial dismissed an en-
sign who had slapped the face Of an attache of
the German consulate at Hongkong the language
that Admiral Evans used would not have graced
hgh-claSs publication. Even what he said officially
IN reviewing the findings was sufficiently vigorous
and approached the point of sulphur, neither the
ensign nor the court getting over the lashng for
some time
Court martals in the mind of the civilian, ought
to stand in the attitude of trial court and jury
trying the facts and imposing sentence or acqutting
with the right of appeal to either side to the officer
commanding the department for his approval of |
the finding his rejection of it, sending it back for
another trial. In the rules of military procedure,
however, the reviewing officer is supreme In the
ease OF Fields the court martial acquitted him of /
the charge Of murder, and in civil procedure that /
would have been the end Of the matter
General Grant not only set aside the verdict Of |
scquittal but rendered verdict of guilty and i'm
posed severe sentence-only short of DEATH though
Fields syas Bilbid is worse than death, mentioning
1t also as being worse than place in which Bob
Ingerso did not believe. The anomaly of military l
law is further illustrated in the seeming fact that
the only recourse left open to the cOmander-in-
ehief-the president was to issue pardon Evil
IDENTIFY he agreed with the court martial in its view
Of the grade Of the offense. of which Fields was
guilty, rather than with General Grant and he 'ex
hbited mercy and human kindness in his exercise
of cemency. Il

James Gibson, who owns farm in the Salt

his dooryard has borne three crops of pears this
year. He had always noticed that it was of anearly
variety, and this season, along in May, crop Of
pears was picked A little later his interest was
aroused by noticing the tree in full bloom again.
What is still more interesting is that at the present
present time the tree has another fully matured
crop of pears on it, which are now ripenng as well
as did the first crop.

sweethearts twenty years before.
So he made his way to Margaret
Radford who bided near the church,
and finding the announcement that
apartments were to let, engaged
bedroom, and there was no grumbling
about her terms, for the Australian
had generosity all over him!
Then Herbert Seaton made his way
up the steep path he had been told led
to the "schulehouse."
In his day he remembered the local
cobbler kept school and turned out per
haps poor scholars, but good fisher
men, and he emphasized his remarks
with strap. Seaton felt it now. Be
tween hedges twenty feet high, up the
steep red path he made his way, and
at the end stood the schoolhouse, fac
ing the sea. He stood outside for
some minutes brushing perspirat alton
from his forehead.
1t was tiny climb, after all is said
and done, but he painted painfully and
drank in the air from the sea.
Then he peered between the serried
ranks of fuchsia and myrtle that stood
on the broad window sill, and he saw
beautiful woman, of nearly his own
age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and
gentle face, and an aureole of fair
hair, that in beams of sunlight looked
to him like a halo.
Small man and woman kind were
round her knees, from tiny tots to
girls of 10, and she was talking and
teaching as only an angel upon earth
or a good woman, which is the same
thing-can talk and teach from the
book of books that lay upon her lap.
And the Australian wanted to go in.
too, and kiss a pair of lips that erst-
while were his to kiss. but he stopped
and listened, and the lump in his
throat choked him, for he was listen
ing to the old-new story OF the prodi-
