Although there are signs indiclt-
Ing a gradual resumption of bust
ness and the consequent easing Of
the labor market after the semi
annual dividends are distributed,
the closing of the Republic Iron &
Steel plants and a number of
Independent concerns had a de-
pressing effect.
The Republic and it's independ-
ent allies. spurred partly by the
competition of the. United States
Steel corporation, are demanding
a Is per cent reduction in wages.
and the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers is strug-
Cling hard to NEE this bear on
slaught. The association insists
that dinner pals should remain as
full as last year, because prices of
bread and butter and meat and
other necessities either have ad-
vanced Or remain stationary.
The iron and steel workers are
being encouraged by other indus
trialists, who point out that the
accepting of an Is per cent cut in
wages by 10000 textile workers,
the last of whom returned to work
the past week, and a strong ten
dency to demoralize the labor mar
ket and that heroic efforts will be
required to check the bear raid and
a possible widespread panic in
wages.
A disquieting condition has de-
veloped on the Pacific coast, where
shipbuilding employees in the yards
at Grays harbor have suspended
operations because the companies
demanded the open shop, which
the employees interpret as an open
market, unfair competition and re-
sultant lower wages.
On the lower lakes labor condi
tons remain in chaotic cOndi-
ton. Stockades have been erected

De Korwin calls his boat a hy-

how rough the sea Is.
The width Is uniform through

something cool and the comedy is
the sort than can be appreciated
without exertion. Last night Col

handled effectively by Helena Col

This nations foreign policy Is based
on the theory that right must be done
between nations precisely as between
individuals, and IN our actions for the
last ten years we have ia this matter
proved our faith by our deeds We
have behaved and are behaving to-
ward other nations as In private life an
honorable man would behave toward
bis fellows.
Latin American Republics.
The commercial and material prog
ress Of the twenty Latin American re-
publlcs IS worthy Of the careful atten-
ton Of the congress. No other section
Of the world has shown a greater pro-
portionate development of It's foreign
trade during the last ten years. and
sone other has more special claims on
the interest Of the United States.
Panama Canal.
The work on the Panama canal is be-
ing done with a speed, efficiency and
entire devotion 70 duty which make IT
a model for all work OF the kind No
task Of such magnitude has ever before
been undertaken by any nation, and no
task OF the kind has ever been better
performed. The men on the isthmus,
from Colonel Goethals and his fellow
commissioners through the entire list
OF employees who are faithfully doing
their duty. have won their right to the
ungrudging respect and gratitude Of
the American people.
Ocean Mail Lines.
again recommend the extension OF
the ocean mail act Of 1891 so that sat
isfactory American ocean mail lines to
South America. Asia, the Philippines
and Australasia may be established.
The creation Of such steamship lines
should be the natural corollary OF the
voyage Of the battle feet. Il should
precede the opening Of the Panamn
canal.

must be q reservation made in regard
to those In the highest ranks and In
regard to those who have just entered

Tho Army.


AS regards the army, 1 call attention
to the fact that, while our junior off,
GERS and enlisted men stand very high,
the present system Of promotion by
seniority results in bringing into the
higher grades many men Of mediocre
capacity who have but short time to
serve. No man should regard it as
his vested right TO rise to the highest
rank in the army any more than in
any other profession.
The scope of retiring boards should
be extended so that they could con-
slider general un6tness to command
for any cause IN order to secure a far
more rigid enforcement than at pres
ent In the elimination Of officers for
mental, physical or temperamental
disabilities. But this plan is recon-
mended only IL the congress does not
see ct to provide what in my Judg-
ment Is far better-that is, for selec-
ton In promotion and for elimination
for age.
Now that the organized militia, the
national guard, has been incorporated
with the army as a part Of the national
forces it behooves the government to
do every reasonable thing in its pow
er to perfect its efficiency.
A bin Is now pending before the
congress creating a number OF extra
officers In the army, which, If passed
as II ought to be, win enable more Of
fcers to be trained as instructors Of
national guard and assigned to that
duty.
There should be legislation to pro-
vide a complete plan for organiz-
ing the great body Of volunteers be-
hind the regular army and national
guard when war has come. While
