The Flag in Porto Rico.

1t is agreeable to hear, and the statement
is easily accepted that in the recent strike
difficulties In Porto Rico there was no in
suit offered to the American flag. Why
should any member or any friend Of Or
ganIzed labor in that island insult the en-
blem which stands for the freedom he en-
joys? The organization of labor has fol-
lowed the flag. The right to strike is a
part of the Americanization of the country.
In the Spanish days there was small If any
inducement for labor to assert itself Poor
as wages were, they could not be raised by
any means within the reach of the wage
earners, and so what could not be cured
was suilenly endured. The change of SOW
ereignty has changed those conditions, and
now the laborer in Porto Rico, like his
brother in the United States, wants his
share of what is going, and takes the same
steps to obtain it. He Is probably not
always discreet in what he does to that
end. Neither is his brother in the United
States. A strike throws everything out of
plumb, and everybody out of temper. Ex-
cesses of one kind or another invariably
follow. But the flag is as much the flag
of labor as of capital, why should any la
boring man anywhere beneath it's folds feel
or show any disrespect for 1t?

The War Fleets,

Thus far there appears to be no actual
official protest from Japan to France on
the score of the use of French waters by
the Russian ships now off the coast of
Cochin China, Paris reporting that nothing
of that kind has been received This same
dispatch gives the interesting information
that such a protest would be unwarranted
at present, Admiral Rojestvensky having
withdrawn his ships from French waters
some days previously. This means. accord
ing to information received by cable, that
Rojestensky has merely moved across
the three-miIe line and Is now anchored
Just beyond the territorial boundary, al
though still within the shelter OF Kamranh
bay.
This report from the French capital gives
color to the Tokyo dispatch printed yester-
day, to the effect that it was understood
there that the Russians intend to remain at
Kamranh bay until May Z. At the same
time the London Telegraph has received
word from Tokyo that the Japanese govern
ment, after a consultation between the
highest officials OF the empire. has decided
to order Admiral Togo to close in upon the
Russians and give battle at once. thus II

An unfortunate complication has arisen
in the matter of suitably marking the last
resting place of Major Charles Pierre l. En-
FAINT, with the effect of absolutely blocking
all further proceedings for the present.
There is In hand an appropriation of $500
for the purpose of erecting a monument
over the grave, but the owners of the prop
erty wherein 1t is located refuse TO permit
the erection or to dedicate sufficient land
for right of way to ensure public access to
the spot In the absence of further legisla-
tive authority, the Commissioners are at
halt and cannot act further until Congress
has solved the problem or the owners of
the estate reconsider their decision.
Whatever may be the outcome of this pro-
ceeding, with reference to the actual grave
of l. Enfant there is nothing save the lack
of sufficient appropriation TO hinder the
erection in the city of Washington of an
appropriate memorial to the French en-
gineer. Indeed, in any case, whether the
grave in Maryland is marked or not, there
should be such a physical token of the ma
tons appreciation of his services in plan

Dowieism in China.

1t Is not surprising that one of Dowie's
representatives has become embroiled with
the people in the Chinese village where he
is operating. Presumably he is employing
there some of the methods his chief has
made familiar in this country; and we
know how they have affected us we may
easily imagine their effect upon a people
like the Chinese. When Dowie himself
made his famous visit to New York he first
amused and then Disguised the town. We
are patient people, as a rule, toward
mountebanks. With our well-developed
sense of humor, we accept from such fell
lows all the fun they afford. But Dowies
fun was too broad. He pitched his nonsense
in an offensive key, and the people soon
tired of him. They did not care to have
such theories and practices tricked out in
the garb of piety and religion. So New
! York all but mobbed him, and he had to re-
tire on his Chicago settlement.
The Chinese have not the western sense
of humor. Dowieism expounded by a Dow
ieite must sound very strange to them and,
taking it in dead earnest they cannot but
be at the very start, we are after a little
examination offended by it. They have
mountebanks of their own, but none of the
Dowie variety. The sort of Chinaman likely
ures of that ism cannot be a representative
of the worthy class of his people. So, it
seems, a company of Chinese, acting on
somewhat similar occasion the New
Workers threatened to act, invaded the
headquarters of this proselytizing Dowieite,
broke up his game, and all but broke his
head.
AS may easily be seen, the danger here
is in the spread of hostile feeling to all
foreigners, and particularly to those en-
gagged in real religious work. The Chinese
OF small village are hardly prepared to
appraise Dowieism in its proper relation to
other things of western origin. None too
well disposed toward even the best the
west is offering them, they confound this
huggermugger of the Chicago prophet"
with things intended for their betterment
and capable of accomplishing that end; and
thus the missionary is in danger Of being
bracketed with the mountebank, and of
paying a penalty for the mourtebank's per-
formances.
Dowie, of course, claims the right to
spread his doctrines wherever he can COM
mand an audience, but it must be confessed
that in a country like China there Is a
good deal of peril to all worthy projects in
the activity of the agents of such man.

possible depriving them OF whatever ad-
vantage they may be seeking by this long
stay of the Cochin China coast.
One reason for the Russian delay In the
China sea is unquestionably the fact that
reinforcements are now on their way across
the Indian ocean under command of Vice
Admiral Nebogatoff. Another Is undoubt-
edly the necessity of cleaning the ships as
we'll as possible of the sea growthsz which
have accumulated during their long stay in
the Indian ocean When they passed Singa-
pore the Russian hulls were foul with
grass that 1t could be seen floating from
their sides like streamers. In the absence
of dry dock there Is only one measure
ably effective method of cleaning a ships
hull. and that is by dragging heavy chains
in contact with the hull and scraping Off
the barnacles and weeds. But this Is by no
means satisfactory, as it only knocks OF
the more protruberant growths and leaves
the surface on the whole as rough as be-
fore 1t does, of course, somewhat reduce
the weight of the ships hull. but the chief
point desired Is rather the prevention of
skin friction, which cuts down a ships
speed and reduces her maneuvering ca
pacity.

The Nippur Tablets.

The archaeological world is watching in
tently the proceedings of a committee rep
resenting the University of Pennsylvania
now engaged in investigating certain
charges against Prof. Hilprecht, the cele-
brated Assyriologist. who is accused of
Misrepresentation and unscholarly con-
duct in connection with the proclamation
OF certain alleged discoveries at the site of
ancient Nippur. Several years ago Prof.
Hilprecht. after having worked for some
time at the ruins OF Nippur. produced tab
lets which he declared were genuine relics
of the ancient civilization. giving historical
students much important ma terial for their
researches and the formulation of their
theories of the past civilization. Quite re-
Gently the authenticity OF these tablets and
certain other relies which have occupied a
prominent place in the university museum
has been challenged by co-workers of Prof.
Hilprecht. The latter Indignantly denied
the accusations and the critics returned to
the charge, with details of proof In such
strength that the university authorities
were compelled to take cognizance of the
matter, inasmuch as the explorations were
conducted under the auspices of that in
stitution. The trial of the case is now In
progress, and upon its result depends in
large measure the prestige of the archaeoi-
ocists who have Of late years been turning

A Hamilton Dinner.

WHY not a Hamilton dinner? There must
be some Hamitonians in the country
Otherwise we should not have made SO
much progress in strengthening the govern
meut Have these men the courage of their
convictions and performances? Why should
they not. taking cue from the Jeferso-
mans. assemble at the banquet table, avow
the source of their inspiration, and praise
their hero for the things he did and advo-
Gated while in the flesh?
Such a dinner would lead to a good deal
of interesting discussion. That Hamilton
was a great man is beyond dispute. That
he performed great services both as SOL
der and a statesman is equally true He
excelled both orator and writer, and was
at once the foremost lawyer and financier
among the colonists. Washington admired
and trusted him above all the men of that
day. His courage, moral and physical. was
of the highest. His death. as well because
of what it deprived the country as be-
cause of it's tragic character, caused the
widest mourning. 1t was everywhere rec
ognized that a man of genius and signal
patriotism had fallen.
The popular criticism of Hamilton is that
he was a monarchist at heart and had no
faith in the people. He is held up as the
establish. On the one side is pictured JEFF
ferson, urging that there be as little gov
eminent as possible, with the states SUI
preme in reserved rights and the people
supreme in the states, and on the other
side Hamilton urging d strong and central
lied government, a nation spelled with
capital n, and power enough behind it to
enforce its DEGREES everywhere. at home
and abroad.
Now, as we hear jefferson quoted in sup
port of propositions and measures wholly
principles, may not Hamilton be presented
in a new light also? Is it not possible to
show that he never was as black as paint
ed? He kept excellent company in his day,
Washington at the head of it, and the
paper second only in Importance to the Dec
laration of Independence, and breathing as
high Americanism as that, was of his COM
position. He more than held the pen for
Washington in preparing the immortal Fare
well Address. The deliverance is Hamilto
Man throughout, and squares with Hamil-
tons opinions elsewhere expressed.
Why not a Hamilton dinner? We have
today very strong government, and the
latest proposition is TO make it stronger.
We are a nation, as the result of the civil
war, and spell the word with a capital N.
In the light of present-day facts and inter-
pretations, where does Hamiltonianism end
and Jefrersonianism begin, or vice versa?
If they were alive could not both men sit
in Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet, and more
comfortably than they did in yVashinPton'S1

up strange and interesting objects in the

old world
The suggestion that all is not right with
these relics suttices to startle the layman
who has come to regard modern archaeol-
ogy as one of the few branches of scientinc
research in which there is no taking
There have, of course. been many frauds in
the past and relics have been palmed OF
on gulible public with brazen effrontery
But latter day explorations have been sin
gularly free from such suspicious. and
there was no reason to doubt the value of
the extensive Investigations which were be-
ing conducted by the Pennsylvania scholars.
There is of course, a broad opportunity to
manufacture evidence of success. There is
a temptation to allow the imagination to
run away with the scientific judgment. to
supply missing Details to ascribe dates
and characters to objects not justified by
the circumstances. There is broad public
tolerance with simple errors of judgment
and theory But in these days of the So
called exact sciences there is no patience
whatever with the absolute manufacture of
archaeological remains or the deliberate
of actual finds. On the
other hand. the scholarly world emphatical-
ly deplores unfourded criticism, and thus
in whatever direction the investigation
may lead there will be severe condemna-
ton for enc side or the other in this con-
troversy.
For the sake of scientific exploration and
the widening of the range of modern knowl-
edge of the remote past it is to be hoped
that Prof. Hiiprecht's tablets will not be
successfully impeached. They stand for
more than his personal prestige, for if their
authenticity is disproved public confidence
in the value of these researches will be
shaken and it will be long before support
is heartily given to enterprises of this
character.
